Hoping a spread can be done for me...I will gladly exchange with you as well (see the board topics before if you are not familiar with me.)

I've had a very up and down year full of celebrations and upsets as well.

It's a weird transitional time for me....I try to pull cards for myself, but I cannot make sense of them....

Anyone have any intuitions about my finding peace of mind in the upcoming months?

I pulled some playing cards for you but I'm afraid they're a bit gloom

I asked: what can lotus_flower do to have peace of mind in the next months?

King of Clubs / 5 of Spades / 9 of Spades

Is there a male in your life that is generous, enthusiastic and/or socially active? He is a bit of an authoritarian. He is considered successful in his career. You will need to let go of this man, to part ways, to cut him out of your life. This will bring you anguish and some negative feelings. You will also feel oppressed, out of control and/or disappointed. This is karma that has to be paid.

I didn't like the tone of this reading, so I asked "how will she feel after that is done?"

5 of Diamonds / Queen of Spades / 4 of Clubs

So, you'll feel like you paid your dues, which will make you feel really good about yourself. You're going to feel strong, capable and smart, like you've been through the grind and survived. You'll also feel like you've put down the foundation for a new development of your self. You'll have a clear, pratical mindset and establish stable relations with people.

Hi, thanks for the reading.

I don't have any guy in my life right now---no one for many many many months so I am unsure of what person this is referring to.

The second part resonates somewhat--but I guess that reading is based on the accuracy of the 1st?

The guy is not necessarily a boyfriend or a love interest... He can be read as either your boss or friend... Here, if you're interested: http://cartomancy.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/king-of-clubs/. If not a guy, this could literally mean you taking control of your life, cutting all the weight that is bringing you down and getting any karma that is holding you down out of the way.

I looked at what to expect the next year to be your themes/what to expect for the future/your overall process (so it might be rather far away). It feels to me like you have been ‘cocooning’ & have taken a long time to reflect & meditate on your current (and past) circumstances. I also sense that you are probably looking for some more healing/time to relax, yet are also a little curious to get active again. The spread is more ‘feeling/lesson’ related.

Overall I see you being able to be more giving again in the future, feeling more confident to help others, but also dare to accept help from others again. You see helping also as one of your ‘duties’ (don’t mean that in a bad way & are a very giving person). I see a lot of passion & inspiration & zest for life in your cards, but it may need some ‘light heartedness’ & perspective as well. Overall you will still be a little hesitant on more areas in your life, but there will be more ‘ventures’/’cooperations with others’. So you will get past that ‘hesitant/shall I shan’t I’-feeling.

There seems to be quite some support/security coming from the family side (money/connection wise. Do you come from a rather established family?). I think you do need some support cash flow wise, because if you just have to do it on your own it seems rather (read: very) tight. Also, it’s okay to go out & play more. I can see your eyes being on ‘ambition’ & wanting to ‘take over’ the world (I’m exaggerating a bit here), but it’s okay to play a bit more. How about travel? Were there/are there plans, but didn’t they come into fruitation? Something in regards to wanting to travel big, but changing it into a visit/travel to a rural (??) city/environment? I’m not 100% sure here. If this hasn’t happened yet & you are making plans for ‘world travel, I expect it to be a ‘weekend away’ for now. Rural maybe isn’t the good word.

Work wise I’m feeling like you are on the verge of something new/a contract perhaps? In regards to something you love doing. I’m not sure if you are wanting to go for a kind of marketing/PR position in future (or maybe an agent? Since I can recall yiur education), but I can very well see that happening if you wish. More like a ‘junior’/’apprentice position’, which will really bring quite a bit of excitement into your life :-) You are feeling emotional about it/these wants/job (in a good way).

In regards to love it feels like you really want to get out there, but you will put other things (work again?) first & you still don’t like to take off that mask you are comfortable wearing. Overall the ‘emotion department’ feels a bit skipped. Like you still don’t really like/feel the need to dive into it and/or it’s too difficult to fully comprehend/understand your own feelings, so you just leave it for now, and will try to go with the flow. Keeping them out all the time, will cost you energy though.

So overall, if you have been wishing for changes & more harmony, I can slowly see that coming into your life. A lot of important choices coming up for you. Also: more adventures & you feel more courageous then before.

I’m totally not sure how this resonated.... This is a new reading style for me & my own cards apparently aren’t too impressed with what I have written to you... But I’ll STILL send it, lol.

Hi Lotusflower you gave me a brilliant reading last week, that is being resonated this week, with some cards different people are pulling for me. So i believe in giving as much as receiving, so will try to give you a good reading, but i have no idea how it'll turn.

What happened or why is LotusFlower going through what she is going through, what happened?

The theme of the answer looks like it's saying 'problems with going with the flow' or sometimes the energies around you were going in a direction very different to what you wanted it, and you just couldn't go with them. Either you had yourself so set and anchored, that nothing changed for you as that is what you were trying, either not to change or not to let these drastic events 'shake you'.....and the result could have been that instead they succeeded in worst than not going with the flow....made you lose some form of direction, whichever way circumstances went, they started leading you, as if you had no say, or no power or control at all in where you'd like to be.

The theme is very turmoiled.however this whole period also wanted you to know something else, despite all this, endings can be happy endings. You know that we reap what we sow, and sometimes things take too long, it's like we lose hope half way through, not knowing that the seed we planted will come out and be a plant that bears fruits, but it just needs time, and a chance of the cycles and the seasons, to one that will suit us. they also echo what you say, and seems like this is something that has happened over a year period or so.

if anything leave the past behind you, and already start plotting your future with a plan of action and not just plotting. Also feel what is happening around you and see if you now know how to 'go with the flow' not resist it, or let it control you, as that'll help you try and avoid being a victim of circumstance again.

So next question.
What should LotusFlower do, to regain some of that sense of balance again?

Find your inner fire,fuel,life energy as in passion. There is a fire within you of something you would give your all for, and not care what people say or tell you as you're going to go after it and get it no matter what, or at least put energies into that, and this could be a creative thing from any form of art, to a business plan, a charitable affiliation.... to something inside you really want to give a chance to show the world but more importantly you can do because you'd love to do it.

But also after you find it, learn from the 'going with the flow' episode, so that this passion inside you is your 'employee' and knows your it's boss. ie control it, so that it's like well lit flame whose logs had been laid properly and which was lit in the exact place in the exact way, that you need it to burn so that it 'lights' your way without burning it.
if this passion is a new guy to, then go for it he's not bad, but don't let him control you. Stay happy as the future looks bright, and i also see you travelling btw, but not sure where to.
so basically what to do, is find the thing in your life you really really like (hey it could be travelling for all i know), and give it your all....but take with you to, the power of 'control' and giving and taking with the universe from the episode that lead you to where you are now that you asked this question.

Your future looks better than your past, as your going to understand life at a deeper level than ever before....and you know that book Eat,pray, love....looks like something like that is going to happen in your future, so good luck, but you must take action to use what you learnt. enlightenment is the beginning tool not the end goal

let me know how this reading went with you!

I just saw this! (How did I miss it before?)

Thank you both for these messages! I am reading them over intently and will reply again afterwards.
