Hi Everyone: I want to get better at the good, ole' 5-card tarot spread, and honestly, I could just use the practice and revamping. I'll do one for the first three people to post here, then it'll be closed. Exchanges welcome, but not necessary (although, my life does feel like a great big avalanche ball.)

Thank you very much for offering

Q: How does Thomas feel about me? Will I see him again anytime soon?

---

1st: 2 of Wands
2nd: King of Cups
3rd: the Fool (r)
4th: Temperance (r)
5th: 4 of Cups
(Clarifier: 3 of Cups)

I like to read emotional questions from the center out, with the middle card being the core of the issue, the 2nd/4th cards as the issue not readily seen (subconcious), and 1st/5th cards as the outside, surface-level issue. However, I am still learning with this spread, and I haven't read in a long, long while... so please don't take too much to heart

On the on-set, Thomas seems like a guy with a lot of warmth to share, and I think that he's somebody desirable in how he makes everyone feel good and happy. Like they matter. The problem is... he doesn't know what he wants, and there isn't much balance here in his own make-up. He gives too much and takes too little, or when he's having a bad day, the opposite.

The Fool reversed as the core suggests to me that while he does feel something new and fun with you, he's not actually walking down the path or starting towards it. I think you, whatever your relationship, would be a big commitment for him, and he realizes that. I say this because the Fool is a major, and major cards indicate major, karmic events and moments. It would be good for him to begin the journey of the majors, but he isn't...

And I think he isn't given the unseen surface issue is that he's an emotional guy who has very little balance in terms of his emotions. He can't quite settle down in them, and he often is a slave to them a bit. This combination of the King and Temperance (r) almost makes me feel like he has tendencies to throw tantrums and be much like a little boy when he's been pushed too far.

The most evident thing in terms of how he feels for you is the 2 of Wands and 4 of Cups, combine with the 3 of Cups. To be blunt: he sees potential in you, potential that makes him excited, and I think perhaps a bit more, but he's hedging his bets and looking at other offers as well. I'd be inclined to say this is romantic, because for me, the 3 of Cups is usually "three's a crowd" flag for a romantic relationship. With the 4 of Cups being of offers -- he's in a wait and see mode.

I wish I could be more positive, but I'll say that this spread really makes me feel unsure of myself and nervous and all anxious like: "stop pressuring me, ugh!" I don't get the sense he could handle much right now in the way of long-term, but I do think he sees that potential in you.

Will E (my ex) travel to see me or will I travel to see him?

---

1st: 5 of Cups (r)
2nd: the Hanged Man
3rd: Judgment (r)
4th: Kings of Cups (r)
5th: 10 of Wands
Clarifier: 3 of Cups (r)

I like to read emotional questions from the center out, with the middle card being the core of the issue, the 2nd/4th cards as the issue not readily seen (subconcious), and 1st/5th cards as the outside, surface-level issue. However, I am still learning with this spread, and I haven't read in a long, long while... so please don't take too much to heart.

The core of this issue is Judgement reversed, which makes me think that even though things have ended, they aren't being allowed to actually end, which isn't healthy for either of you. Having a major in the center says this is a karmic, major life issue, and it suggests that perhaps you both need to let go.

The issue underneath the surface is the Hanged Man and the King of Cups (r). I don't think either of you are going to see each other, because something is holding you both back. The King reversed is someone who likes to withhold emotion, and this says to me that E isn't coming to see you because he/she wants you to come to them (like a powerplay) or you aren't going to see them, because you don't like how little effort they've been putting in, in terms of reconciliation.

The outer issue is the 5 of Cups (r) and the 10 of Wands, with a clarifier of the 3 of Pentacles (r). This relationship, I think, has been very hard for you two to let go of, but the truth is, it seems like you guys weren't working on a functional level. There wasn't a sense of partnership and working together. It all seems rather difficult and frustrating. Painful.

I wish I could be more positive, but to answer your question... I don't see either of you going to see each other at the moment, because it's kind of like a stand-off: who is gonna budge first. My advice... don't budge. Move on. The Hanged Man is about the Universe holding a person in place until they learn a lesson that's needed to be learned... in this case, I think it's setting Judgment upright and letting this end.

Well, I actually know he was interested in me (or at least attracted) because he kept flirting with me at work.

As he terminated his internship last week, I was wondering if there's more to this.

He is 21 and I will be turning 25 this year, which is not a good combo. The age difference bothers me a little but I am able to look past that, to an extent.

He does throw tantrums. It is very true indeed. If things don't go his way, he tends to ignore the individual. He seems very much in his feelings at all times. He gets upset and ignores everyone at times. It baffles me because I've never seen a grown man act this way.

He is fun and loves to cheer people up (he's a Leo after all) but he seems to get upset often. He sounds draining!

I don't know if he's indecisive about what he wants (Virgo Mooner) because it seems as though he knows what he wants, at all times. I think what you meant is he doesn't want to be tied down (he's 21, so it makes sense). He's a huge party boy so I think he wants to keep his freedom and independence.

He knows I'm not an easy girl and I don't play games. I think my age coupled with my demeanor frighten him.

You mentionned a karmic link (I've been told the same thing by other readers), is it meant to happen anyway at some point then? Would it be a painful dynamic?

If I understand your reading correctly, he sees me as long-term potential but he's not ready, right?

Ah! A Leo Man! That makes sense. I definitely had that, "this is good, but I want to wait for something even better," feeling that Leos (in my humble, Leo Sun/Leo Rising/Leo Mer opinion) get often. And yes, not being tied down was definitely what I was trying to say -- thank you! The others offers did feel like women at a club.

So are you saying that we will never see eachother when you said "moment"?

Also I do believe E does withdraw his emotions. An can you explain when you said " E isn't coming to see you because he/she wants you to come to them (like a powerplay)"?

My q is...what should i do, or what should I ask, or how should I be at this upcoming interview so I can ensure that I get the job?

---

1st: 6 of Wands
2nd: 8 of Wands (r)
3rd: 7 of Pentacles
4th: 5 of Wands (r)
5th: 2 of Cups
(Clarifier: Ace of Wands (r) )

I like to read emotional questions from the center out, with the middle card being the core of the issue, the 2nd/4th cards as the issue not readily seen (subconcious), and 1st/5th cards as the outside, surface-level issue. However, I am still learning with this spread, and I haven't read in a long, long while... so please don't take too much to heart.

Well, one thing I know is you really want this job. Lots of energy here with the wands, lots of movement and passion. Is it finally in a field you've been itching to get into for awhile? Like a better than "entry-level" but not quite "experienced" level job? Anyway! Despite the excitement, the core of the issue is the 7 of Pentacles -- which really suggests a wait-and-see attitude. Did they say they would call you with more details about the interview?

The issue below the surface is the 8 of Wands and 5 of Wands (r) -- this to me says don't rush it and don't get too excited. Slow down and don't seem too eager. Let them know you are passionate and interested, but don't be too pushy about details or call for follow-up questions, etc. Really pace yourself.

The surface is 6 of Wands and 2 of Cups with the clarifier of Ace of Wands (r). This to me says be proud and express your interest, but don't go overboard, much like the previous paragraph. There's a real opportunity here, but don't put the cart before the horse as it were.

There definitely feels like a piece of the puzzle is missing, though. Like there's key information they are going to give you or need to give you or something along those lines. Perhaps it's something as simple as the time/date. Just be yourself and be calm and in control, and you should be fine. Everyone loves confidence, but be humble and calm, and it'll be a good thing I think! I hope!

Not anytime soon, unless someone just has a major change in attitude or opinion. The "moment" I was referring to was the whole relationship -- it feels like a learning experience for you, maybe even about letting go. But at any rate, no, unless you go to him, I don't think it will be anytime soon. The Hanged Man is a full stop.

I don't think it would be good for you. Painful... I don't know. But I do think he would treat you poorly and perhaps lower your self-esteem. He did not feel like someone I would personally want to be friends with, let alone a partner. I definitely think he feels that karmic link too -- but I don't think he understands it, and coupled with the tied-down and the 21... nah. I think, in this life, it would not be good for you guys to get together. But! That's what free will is for, and you've got to listen to your heart. But just be careful, that'd be what I'd say [/B]

Yeah, he's a bit young, I have to admit.

He didn't strike me as someone who could potentially put me down and lower my self-esteem. He seems like an arrogant yet warm/loving individual. But I guess you never know what's beneath the surface, right?

I'm slightly confused however. In the initial reading, you said it would be good for him to go down the "karmic" path, yet in the second perspective, you said it wouldn't be good for me.
