So I did a CC asking if my friend and I will continue being friends by my next bday (about a year from now).

......4 of swords
wheel..4 of discs/2 of rods crossing...King of rods
......tower

7 of swords- 9 of swords- queen of cups- page of rods

rods=wands, discs=pentacles

I'm not sure if she is represented by the 7 or if I am since I asked 'my friend and I'. Or if we both are. I can see what the reading is saying at the beginning but I'm getting a bit lost after the 4 of swords.. What do you guys see?

what exactly are the positions you used?

is 4 swords no. 1 crossed by the wheel?


what I can see based upon 7-10 is that one or both of the people involved enjoy(s) this friendship for selfish reasons, maybe because it's cool or because it's commendable to be friends with the other. or else because it's convenient, to have someone to rely on/ask for help

and yet what you want is understanding/emotional interaction, mutual support/nourishing/tenderness

is the tower the root or no.6? because it doesn't look great anywhere, but still

PS Randall said the other day we are to discuss all things Tarot including interpretations of specific spreads in Through the Looking Glass because this is how it should be (and how it was originally conceived), whereas this board is for requests only - what do you think?

Well it's a bit difficult to argue with the webmaster. I mean technically I'm asking someone to read the cards I pulled because I'm a bit close to the situation and objective eyes can always be helpful.

I go clockwise with the cards. The first card is 4 of discs being crossed by the 2 of wands, below (3) tower, left (4) wheel, top (5) 4 of swords, right (6) King of Rods.

What you said about 7-10 sounds about right, staying friends because we have been for a while and therefore convenient. I've often felt like she gets more out of the friendship than I do, that I understand her better than she does me. She tries, but I often find her to be tad selfish with me listening to her mostly. It's not that she does this on purpose but life circumstances have shaped her differently than me and therefore shaped our perspectives differently. It makes me really sad to think that after all this time we may just really end up not talking anymore...

idk....

um, from what I understood it's just a certain return to how things used to be. which may well be true, i wasn't here

I totally understand where you're coming from though, was only natural to assume what you did. anyway if you're cool with this maybe transfer this over there?

So, to your spread!

ok, so 4 disks means you hang out together a lot, to the point you would make one another jealous if one did something without the other or with another friend? anything like that on anyone's part? or maybe a dependency on the company of another

2 rods crossing would bring in an element of detachment stemming from the 4 disks situation, a wish to analyse where this is going (also might be why you asked the Q in the first place), as if an inventory was being made

um, so how does this work for you from this point onwards, crown=best outcome, bottom=root, past on the left, future on the right? i'll assume this for now and then you'll correct me, yes?


4 swords (as in best outcome OR where this is heading) screams a certain lackadaisical attitude on someone's part, no real readiness to invest in a friendship and feel involved, a dwindling/hibernation

tower (root?) might imply this friendship is founded on the wrong notions, something unstable/unhealthy about this. esp in a combo with 4 disks.

if wheel is the past, might indicate you got close very spontaneously

King of Rods in the future - not sure about this one. not sensing anything

let me know what you think? x

We used to hang out often and I guess built a dependency on each other that way. I can be pretty territorial about things including friends so yea I would get annoyed with her hanging out with other people especially when she would spend at least an hour complaining about something they said or did (usually it was justified, she has this one crazy friend).

You're right about the 2 of wands but I'm also seeing it as every offer I have made to her is denied, plans constantly canceled.

Yes about the 4 of swords, I feel like I've tried reaching out and she hasn't reciprocated as much. So there is a cooling down of things currently, maybe for the next couple of months as well..

We did get close spontaneously when she revealed a secret to me. We're a very odd couple of friends but we would make it work. I miss that.

Thinking about it, either I'm severely disappointed in the coming months (her wedding is coming up. Maybe that's the KIng?)and I just let go of the notion of friendship or I continue being her friend despite the disappointments. Which is likely echoed in the 4 of discs that I'm already holding on to this longer than I should.
