So since it's hard to get interpretation help around here I'm giving one reading in exchange for interpretation help. I need someone who's good and familiar with Celtic Cross and Reversals.

What crosses her: An infatuation and longing for someone from afar. Perhaps she is idolizing someone and is too afraid to approach him, or perhaps she feels her love for him is nothing but that -- a mere fancy.

Plans: She is ready to loosen her tightening and free herself from the situation. She was like a bird in a cage and now she is going to make herself free by removing her psychological trauma and fears over the relationship. In the future we will see true emotions showing without being hindered by blockages or malaise.

Beneath her: She is trying to conquer over her feelings of boredom and dissatisfaction. The 3 of Cups rx shows to me her life after the honeymoon and the weeding party, she thinks the relationship is failing below her expectations and wants to re-live the joy and youthfulness again. She feels that this is making her old and having to take on matronly duties and such.

Behind her: She is letting her passions and her fervor becoming out of control and she no longer has the hold on them. She is letting it dictate her life and her expressions. She needs to become disciplined and hone in on her abilities to produce it into something conservative. This also shows cowardice and frailty regarding one's and other's endurance.

Before her: After the exciting build-up of the marriage and the dating part we can see that she feels it ended too prematurely and feels quite anti-climatic. Her plans are incomplete and she is acting with hastiness rather than thoroughly seeing the situation.

Herself: She is not learning lessons and experiences and repeating the same patterns from her old relationships that put her in the same state of malaise and confusion. Her energies are not balanced and she is weakening herself, I see her being hysteric or easily succumbing to indulgences and other things harmful to her being. Her mental state is quite weak right now and she is not listening to her higher spiritual form..

Surroundings: A misuse of the birth of passion and in a destructive way thus becoming frustrated with her endeavors and not channeling her proper energies. Going after things where her mental state isn't balanced and she is easily weakened by situations. Loss of drive, blockages in her expression, and impatience with the way things are becoming.

Hopes: Hierophant rx
She wants to reject the rules of her marriage, Hierophant is a very traditional and conservative card so imagine reversed she is looking to break her vows or feel she is unequal and underrepresented in her marriage in some ways. Is her husband being too traditional and forcing his views down her throat or she wants to have an open-relationship of some sorts? The way she is going on with it is not good for her being.
She needs to properly conduct it if she wants to carry it on and not act just because she wants to misdirect her sexual energy/passions.

Outcome: Tower rx
Internalization of destructive forces where you feel helpless and you cannot get rid of old patterns, The Devil card still has a hold on her thus making the effect of The Tower severely limited. She is expecting the relationship to break down and fall beneath her expectations and that is the path she is going if she is not directed to go otherwise. Or she is ignoring warning signs of it and she lets it fall apart anyway due to her own cowardice or ignorance.

She's still not sure how to proceed...but that doesn't surprise me. Do you think there's a clear message about action going forward?

Thank you! Well done Karka...I'm still not used to that spread.

I'm glad its spot-on.

My question is of P, of why did he show cruelty to me and why does he have such fervor -- and why did R decide to hurt me in the process too, alongside with him and move on with callousness?

Act on the desire to leave the marriage?

Ok, I will do a 5 card elemental and pull an extra card for the second question.

here's your reading.

On P
Earth, Surroundings: Two of Wands
Air, Intellect: Son of Cups
Fire, Willpower: Nine of Swords
Water, Emotions: Seven of Swords
Spirit, Outcome: Four of Pentacles

On R
Seven of Pentacles

I think that P has some specific goals in mind with the whole situation, much of which has to do with protecting himself and his own interests. He's someone who seems secretive and difficult to understand, emotional but very immature. He's desperate to prevent some of the things he sees happening with you. He wants to protect himself from an internal struggle. You are some kind of threat to him, even if you don't see it. Clearly he willingly tricked you and treated you ill so he could feel more powerful, more in control.

R, however, is more passive about the whole situation...they're waiting to get something out of P and therefore just went along with it.
