I borrowed this spread from KayEvans. Found it interesting. My question was along the lines of potential between myself and x.1) Who is he? 7 of Cups: He's someone that is constantly dreaming and/or fantasizing. He may also be the type to have many options and think about possibilities without really taking any type of action towards realizing them. In my deck there's a young girl still in her nightgown and barefoot. She is holding on to a butterfly's "tail", which has 7 cups attached to it. The skies are pink in color & she is smiling. Clearly, she is dreaming! Hehe.. 2) What are his intentions (if any)? Hermit - His intentions are to get to know me better as a person in general. To see if there is anything more to this. The Hermit is shining a light towards the next card following and giving his back to the 7 of Cups. He wants to leave "himself" behind (the fantasies and illusions) and shine his light towards something real and tangible, which leads to the next card.. 3) What can the acquaintanceship lead to? Devil - There's a couple having sex in my card. Passionate and raw sexual attraction/desire. I'm not saying this will definitely lead to sex between us, but it seems is what he's hoping for. Something passionate, raw and real..something that he can actually touch and not simply fantasize about (7 of Cups). 4) Good advice / what I need to be aware of: 3 of Wands - Either to explore this, or keep my options open because maybe we won't really work out as I want it to. 5) Probable outcome / where the acquaintanceship is headed if the advice above is taken into consideration: Sun - Overall, a healthy and passionate attraction/acquaintanceship. I see it more as being friendly/happy than anything else. Perhaps things between us will become more clear and truthful than they currently are. Any opinions/interpretation of any or all cards will be greatly appreciated =) IP: Logged |

I agree with your interp but wanted to add that the feeling I get from the order of the cards is to also make sure he's not in it for the sex or for the purely personal gain. 7 of cups could also indicate that his idealistic woman is just that, idealistic. Like she's up on some pedestal that no one can equate. Therefore his options are always open and can likely have multiple 'relationships' because for him they all hold something that he likes but none are 'perfect'. Also the 3 of wands could mean to wait to make sure your investment pays off. I don't see this as a take action kinda card, more like karma returned 3 folds to you. So if you put out what you want and invest properly you will be rewarded. I like the Sun, definitely nice feelings all around and like a happy contentment. Those are thought that jumped out at me, I know the images and feelings you get looking at the cards make a difference to you, so obviously follow that first. This is just my two cents, and hopefully I've explained it properly, I know I at times just rush things straight to the point which doesn't always get into the details of things. IP: Logged |

Yes, that makes sense with the 7 of Cups. He does have Venus in Pisces. Thank you for this!! Could the Sun mean something else to you from personal experience? Just curious IP: Logged |

Ha!! I was actually thinking a pisces placement! Sun in my experience has meant happiness and contentment, and depending on the reading and the card preceding it it meant amicability. I had a thread a while back asking if a couple would break up and had the sun following 10 of swords. It turned out they they broke up on mutual terms and remained friends. IP: Logged |

@Empress for some reason this reading made me think he is very introverted and also has a rich inner life. The 7 of cups makes me think that he is not a dreamer, but he sort of has a lot of opportunities open to him because he is very intelligent or has invested a lot into learning/pursuing his interests. Or maybe he is just really good at making things happen/manifesting. I know thats not the traditional interpretation but thats what came to me. The hermit makes me think also that he may not show it if he has an interest in somebody because he likes to explore his feelings first before expressing them. He may take it really slow initially in relationships and make the person very confused to the point where the move on because he is so unresponsive at first. I knew a capricorn guy like this. The 3 of wands to me sort of feels like you should stay put and wait to see if he makes his move. IP: Logged |

Thanks elixir. He does act interested a lot, but hasn't been lately because I'm also aloof and withdrawn. It's mainly due to shyness. I never see or interpret the 7 of Cups as many options/opportunities, but could be. It has always meant illusions for me more often than not. I can agree about Hermit and also he is sick - he reminds me of myself in that sense because we both act the same in that area. And no he's not feminine sign, but I think his ascendant is (not entirely sure though). IP: Logged |

Ok so this is what I see it as...1. Who is he? 7 of cups Someone who is caught in illusions but more importantly is unorganized. He has no inner limit of what he will or will not do. He's either confused and flowing with the wind or simply doesn't care to hold himself to any standard. 2. Hermit. His intent? I see him as taking time to get to know himself better. Maybe you meet and it's not really about you but about what you give him to help him grow as a person. 3. Devil I see it as a fling or something where neither of you will be able to control your emotions etc. It's raw for sure. Whether that is healthy or not depends on the people involved. 4. Advice: 3 of wands. You need to be practical. Keep another part of your life a strong pillar be it a hobby or work. If this sours, then you will be able to hang onto at least another thing. It will tide you over. 5. Sun I agree that this can be a very eventful moment. It will def be meaningful to the both of you. IP: Logged |

Oooh, I wanted to try this for myself and someone!! Seemed fun (and catered to my emotional drama). Who he is: 8 of Wands Someone with A LOT going on right now. A sort of nervous energy whose being launched in several different places. Someone who's finally getting his foothold on the plane of success. What are his intentions: Hierophant He's not into going outside the norms, and if anything, doesn't want to rock any boats. Very interested in tradition and following the rules. A little closed off, so someone who might hide their intentions more than anything. Someone who values intelligence and order more than emotions? What will this lead too: Queen of Wands (I pull this card all the time for myself) -- a fun union? A woman really becoming who she was meant to be? Also self-discovery and a lot of creativity. Light-hearted passion, perhaps? Good Advice: the Tower Things are going to change, and they are going to change extremely unexpectedly. Don't get upset, don't try to stop it. Just roll with the flow. While it may seem horrible or shocking on the surface, deep down, it's for your own good and bring about positive changes and new starts. Probably Outcome: 3 of Cups Joy, a celebration. A positive outcome that makes a lot of people happy -- however, sometimes I have noticed this card can mean "three's a crowd" in a love triangle. IP: Logged |
