Hey all
I haven't exchanged on this board before, but something has been weighing on my mind for a while now and I was hoping to get some insight from you lovely LLers. I'd like to do a more detailed exchange with someone, preferably tonight. I'd like it to be more of a conversation with followup questions on the same topic and so-forth.

I have the cards in hand and am ready to go. I am a beginner but I do best with more time and detailed spreads - I usually pull a minimum of 5 cards and hope that the person exchanging with me will show me a similar amount of effort

If you are still exchanging and would be willing to exchange with me? What is your q?

No problem and thanks for offering to read - I was going to ask for a reading on my career(I also want to move away) between now and end of feb

But I would still like to read for you in exchange. I could do a general read for you between now and end of the year(week by week breakdown - it also helps me practise with my timing )

Let me know

Thanks!

I've done a breakdown of the rest of the year, I'm practising on general reads, so I can be wrong, let me know how it goes, it helps with interpreting the cards.

I used cartomancy,

Overall Theme of Rest of the Year

I've noticed a pattern throughout the spreads it relates to 5's and Ace's appearing a number of times, I think you are preparing to embark on changes and working on new beginnings. The 4C is an energetic card - it can show adventure and at times impatience, I think this theme is also highlighted throughout the spread. Sometimes things might feel like they move fast then dont move fast enough for you. Also -do you do creative work?

Cards I've pulled for the general theme are,

4C 9C 3D JD 8C

4C for me as it is highlighted the main theme - adventure, creativity, sometimes impatience too. 9C is indicative in changes ahead, 10's are usually the ending of a cycle 9C show approaching the ending of a cycle. Changes in the way you look at things, and in communication too, positive changes. There might also be some indecision at times with regards to work related themes, and communication with a male is highlighted too. There will be alot of social activity for you as well. Clubs are generally seen as social or communication cards - in particular the cards highlighted. Diamonds also relate to communication(not only work and money), so I think communication is a key theme for you too, rather than an actual person the JD can also relate to news and messages. But a person is highlighted and communication with them here as well. 8C is the last card and very social card - made me think of NYE and holiday season parties

so week by week....

November Week 2

10H 8D KS

Are you planning on attending any events this week? I think it will be busy/productive work wise, nice money wise too. I pulled to clarify and got 4C 4H 8H.
So, I think the week mainly centres around your emotional life and a relationship with a man who can appear to be emotionally detached(but the cards show a strong foundation of feelings imo). I think the cards are showing you might be feeling a bit impatient with how things are, but also workwise things will be busy/creative and productive. Alternatively - spending sometime with your family.

November Week 3

4D 9S AH

Clarified with: 10S AD KH

This week might feel tough at times(looks to be due to worries around work/money things or generally you're holding onto negative thoughts) and there will be times of deep thinking, but it will get better as the week goes on. There are strong foundation cards with regards to work, you are working towards something, creating some foundations for yourself. I think you might receive a invitation or a message from a man who cares alot about you(I pulled an extra card and got 6H looks to be someone you are or used to be romantically involved with - 6H can be a card of nostalgia but also can show a deepening relationship/friendship). The AH was reversed so maybe it feel like things are moving slower. AD can also be a new beginning work wise. I think the week will end on a romantic note

November Week 4

5H 6S 4S

This is a week of changes. I think it will be a bit of a frustrating week at times, you might feel like people are not co-operating with and you might want to spend the rest of the week having a break and sometime for yourself.

November Week 5

7D AH 7H

I think this week follows through from the previous, work/money seems to be stressful but gets better as the week progresses. More positive week emotionally - new beginnings but also some anxieties and worries creeping in at the end.

December Week 1
6H 8H 9S

Clarified: 10D 4C JS

Very good week workwise, busy/productive and creative. Emotionally wise - I think you will be having some romantic times but also you take sometime to yourself and spend sometime thinking about things generally. Energetic and busy week for you,at times impatient. I think you may attend an event or party this week.

December Week 2

6C KD 9D

Are you planning to travel this week journey that might be a little expensive?, that or there are very good things workwise. I pulled 4H and KH to clarify, i think you might visit a male or a male might travel to visit you. Seems to be someone who you care about alot. 6C is a card of improvements - so this week improvements workwise and emotionally. I think though you might have a large expenditure(Money will feature either coming or going).

December Week 3
2H 5H 9H
I think you will be spending time with someone you care about there are also changes highlighted - looks to me you will get what you want emotionally wise(9H is the wish card).

December Week 4
5H JC 5C
Clarified: JH 9H 2D

I think the previous week feeds into this week where there are changes, wishes coming true and you might also get an invitation from a male(perhaps to make a journey somewhere), i do think you will be invited somewhere, discussions are also highlighted - workwise too. I think you will be wanting to make changes(not only emotionally but generally). So I think with so many 5's throughout this spread I think that is the theme, preparations for changes(not bad ones).

December Week 5

7C 3S 4C

You might feel a bit confined and worried about somethings this week but i see more energy/movement towards the end of the week. Perhaps also attending an event/being social. I think it ends on a good note for you.

Let me know how it goes it helps with cards interpretation.

Please dont quote my posts might edit later

So, I decided to create my own spread to address what might be ahead for you in the next few months. I focused primarily on your career, as requested, and did a monthly breakdown. I pulled a separate card to provide a general overview of the entire reading and to give an idea of some key points for you to stay focused on in the next 4 months.

Overview
The Sun (19): What a powerful and motivating message It looks as though these next few months will be quite positive for you overall. I believe it will be very helpful for you to remember that you will be successful in all that you undertake during this time - you are bright energy attracting the rewards of all your hard work and effort Remember to be confident in yourself - not cocky, but sure of your power.

I also noticed a lot of swords and pages popping up. I want to say that these next few months will require a lot of mental fortitude from you. You will be a "student" of sorts for much of this time period, and communication and problem solving will be recurring themes until the end of January especially. I think The Sun is also suggesting that you will attain a new perspective on your life and your career (in a positive way) - as if you will find some things "illuminating".

Because I am a beginner, I'm not 100% confident in saying that you will move, but I have a strong feeling that this may be the case...and sooner than you think. If you do not end up moving, I do see some big changes happening for you either way - again, looks pretty positive.

November: Knight of Wands, 8 of Cups, The Devil (15), 6 of Swords

What to expect: 9 of Pents, Page of Cups, Strength (8)

Currently, there seems to be a lot going on for you right now and you may be in a situation where things are changing or moving quite rapidly - perhaps not just in the physical realm, but in emotional and mental areas. You may be stressing or worrying about something and in turn, focusing this energy on or fighting for lost causes or for things that no longer serve you. There is an indication that you may be over-extending yourself to the point of emotional exhaustion. You have hit a proverbial wall and can no longer move forward in your current situation or at this pace. The cards are suggesting that this month you will have the chance to let go of a hopeless or draining situation and allow yourself the time and space to identify and pursue your own personal goals/truth. It seems that the biggest challenges for you this month will be to redirect your thoughts so you are not obsessing about your situation (i.e. obsessing about the negative) and letting go of any desire for or exercising too much control. The cards suggest that a short trip or move might be in store for you – in either case, a change of scenery will energize you or provide you with a new perspective and allow you to recover and move on. It looks like you will start the process of cutting away what no longer serves you (people, places, or things) - though this may bring you sadness at first, you will find yourself in a much more productive and happy position than you started out in this month.

You may have to show restraint and buckle down on financial matters this month. You may feel as though you are working harder to get ahead than everyone else. Even though you may not feel terribly social at this time, allow yourself to be open and reach out to anyone who might come to you looking for emotional support. The end of this month promises to leave you feeling (or actually being) more independent and self-confident.

December: King of Wands, Knight of Swords, 6 of Cups, 9 of Cups

What to expect: Chariot (7), Page of Swords, 7 of Swords

I believe this month shows something fresh entering into your life in the form of new and/or exciting projects. I want to say that the King here is a man with strong industry expertise - someone who is a natural leader who is energetic or inspiring. He may even turn out to be a career mentor for you at this time – someone to show you the ropes or guide you through this new stage. The cards are suggesting that this month you will especially need to be goal oriented and focused in order to be successful. Be a tactful communicator, but get straight to the point - cut the bs and be proactive. There is a lot of energy in these two cards so I believe there’s going to be a lot going on for you in December, but it looks quite positive. A lot of change and new things coming in but I believe that you’ll overall likely feel energized by it rather than bogged down. Hmmm, I think at times you may feel uncomfortable in your surroundings and long for things “as they were” or have trouble adjusting to a new way of doing things. When this happens, I think it will be very constructive for you to redirect your thoughts to your overall goals. Focusing on your overall wishes for your career can be the motivation you need to keep yourself in a positive vibration.

Things may feel as though they are moving too fast for you or you may be inclined to try and force a situation that isn’t ready to move. Don’t beat yourself up if you make mistakes. You are in a learning phase right now so try to stay neutral and observe these changes/experiences without getting too emotional. Take it all in and use that information to develop a strategy to get ahead. Be humble, yet not self-effacing. This month especially seems to focus heavily on communication and problem solving.

January: Judgement (20), 10 of Cups, 7 of Swords, 8 of Pents

What to expect: Ace of Wands, Page of Swords, Knight of Swords

The start of the year seems to welcome you with some attention to your efforts. Looking back at the 9 of Cups in the last spread, I believe that January is when you will start to see the manifestation of those goals and wishes. If you've been trying hard and doing your best, your efforts are likely to start paying off, but it will be a very slow “reward” received. You will likely be very focused on the realization of these dreams and working hard to align your life with those ideals. It’s interesting, because the 7 of Swords reappears here in the challenge positon warning you against going too far with your strategizing. This month it will be especially important that you do not cut corners or overlook important steps to reaching your overall goals. You see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, and around this time it can be tempting to try anything to speed up the process. This spread is warning you against this. Your dreams will take time to manifest and will rely solely on your hard work, focus, and dedication. Do things to the best of your ability and you will begin to build quite a positive reputation.

You are full of passion and vibrancy this month and will likely feel impatient with the state of things. I believe you will be very focused on your own goals and wishes this month – the potential is there, right in front of you and you may feel antsy when things don’t move at the speed and force with which you would like them to. Again, the cards are asking you to stay neutral and be aware of your surroundings without getting emotional. Recognize that you are still a student of sorts in this situation. I think that once you redirect your thoughts away from what you don’t have right now you will start to feel that you are on the right track to achieving what you want in the near future.

February: 5 of Cups, 10 of Pents, The Wheel, 3 of Cups

What to expect: King of Wands, Queen of Pentacles, 10 of Wands

Hmmm, this entire reading seems to be very cohesive in terms of themes. I think February you will start to feel some disappointment about your job situation. It could be that you are too focused on the fact that you are not where you thought you would be at this time or this card could also suggest that you are still frustrated that things are not progressing at your desired pace. Again, Pentacles appear to remind you that success and fulfillment are yours but not after some time and hard work are put in. Teamwork will also be an important focus for you and a place from which you can draw strength and inspiration. Focus on creating a strong foundation for which to build your dreams upon instead of concentrating on how to make things happen faster. It seems that there are outside forces at play this month which will shake things up for you. The cards advise you that the best course of action is to “lighten up” and take things a little easier in light of this. I believe friendships will play a big part in your experiences this month – you will be presented with opportunities to celebrate and bond with the people around you. In the end, I think this will be very positive for you emotionally and professionally.

The King appears again alongside a queen. I believe that the Queen is you and the King is a superior. Perhaps some of your frustration will be related to a superior who you may feel to be a little too demanding or focused on what HE wants. The Queen is asking you to reach into yourself and find that mature, feminine power when dealing with this boss. Act sensibly, approach the problem with wisdom and grace, yet stay strong in your convictions. You may be granted more responsibility if you present yourself as a capable and practical worker. Ground yourself and make sure that you are taking care of yourself physically during this time.
