Anyone in the mood to exchange readings? Would love some insight into a couple specific topics I have been contemplating.

I'm also working on honing my tarot/intuitive skills, so would love to read (with no exchange necessary, just feedback) for the first three people to leave a question!

TEMPERANCE - 8 SWORDS - 10 CUPS

Girlfriend, you are being wayyyy too hard on yourself right now! You're asking too much of yourself and of the universe. It's not about sitting and waiting for something to happen, it's about redirecting that energy. It's easy to want everything handed to you now, now, now and harder to wait for it to pan out without any effort (which is the most unfortunate cliche, but it's what I'm picking up on). Let's work on moderation here--let yourself cooperate and compromise with what you need and want; take some days to just...be alone, be yourself, indulge in what makes you happy. Whether that means taking a day to yourself to read or paint or write or watch Netflix, or even just lay in bed and do nothing and sleep and think in the waking moments! Be kind to yourself, find that harmony you need in order to be yours and yours alone, in that you revisit who you are and re-appreciate what makes you, you... happy with your thoughts and comfortable with what you're doing right now in the present. You're feeling surrounded by obstacles, which is keeping you suspended, so allow yourself to answer the question, "What's holding me back?" Why is it so important it's hindering me from moving forward?"... and, ultimately, whether or not it's really worth it. Chances are, it isn't. Once you figure this out, this living for yourself and discovering what it is that will make you overflow with positivity and bring you back to who you really are, will happen. Your excitement and joie de vivre will be contagious, you're going to be able to attract to you what you're putting out in the world. That's where you need to be. The place of sending out what it is you want in return. Don't doubt this power. It will happen, but only if you allow yourself to get to that point.

Would love feedback!

Wow. Overall, yes I think so. I think it will take some tough work, but it is worth it. See below:

9 PENTACLES - TWO WANDS - THE SUN

(all EXTREMELY bright cards!!)

Your loyalty and hard work on this relationship has not gone unnoticed. Stability and happiness at home were created, perhaps even building a future that offered you both finer things in life, whether one way or the other. But the foundation is there. The two of wands is a clear omen of success. You've focused on a goal, and you're pointing efforts in that direction. Whether this means you have reassessed what you want with him, or he with you, your thought patterns are becoming more conscious...however: are those thoughts negative or positive? In this reading I see a positive move forward. Are you allowing each other to be what you both would aspire to, the highest level of who you can be (professionally, romantically, as a human in general)...and not only for each other, but in YOUR OWN sense of self? Or hindering growth and nitpicking? Get past nitpicking if so, because there is a beautiful connection here. Can you be the best for each other that you need to be? I sense yes, but is there any sort of hesitation or doubt? Cast that away, and just go for it. And finally, ahh the sun. Imagine how it feels to soak in the rays of the sun on a warm balmy night, just before sunset. That languid, literal "orange" feeling of dusk and of content and fulfillment and stupor of beauty. Nourishing and healing and nostalgic, this is such amazing energy. Vitality and health are here, you'll find assurance and clarity in what you'll do together. Be grateful for the radiance you create, and the life force it gives you.But allow yourselves to get there. And together.

I see only happiness from continued pursuit into this relationship. It takes personal work on both ends, something to be mindful of, to help each other with, and to keep growing personally, separately to contribute to the unit. But only positive here. It will work.

Would love feedback!

xx,
C

yes, he worships the Sun, literally.
he soaks it in like it's gold.

On the other side, I have a Leo Mars and my pride is a bit too over the top at times

we do bicker a lot and there is a lot of nitpicking but we cant let go of each other and the foundation is just pure love.

The nitpicking, thou, is up-nerving and he is a pain in the neck.
he says the same about me.

I feel blindfolded like in the card.I cant see anything anymore besides a big bad luck! the victimization of the 8 of swords kind of fits me now,definetely lol but I absolutely hate to play the victim.That is probably the reason why I went to the edge 2 years ago all alone and people close to me never knew it.

That was a big reading there is much to think so I will meditate on it.Thank you very much dear!

SON OF WANDS - FIVE OF WANDS - HIEROPHANT

Here I'm sensing that J is the Son of Wands--charming adventurous, probably one of those guys who is flirty and seems to just say the right things to make you tick. The problem with the energy this card also pulls in is a certain elusiveness or an overprojection of perfection onto who he is--he may not be what exactly you think, not in a bad way, but in a way that either you're imagining too much that you would be a good fit for each other, when in reality there is something about him that is lacking in verity that would make a relationship with you last. The five of wands points to a lack of focus or distraction. I'd say this is probably the conflict you're feeling over whether or not he is interested in you, and generally this is a card of warning, one telling you to trust your instincts and to try to bring a sense of clarity to mind, especially when paired with the son (or page) of wands (DO you think he is interested in you, deep down? What is your initial reaction?). Wands also point to our ambitions, goals and dreams, pointing to situations that reside mostly in the mind rather than in the physical world. The Hierophant wants us to follow established rituals rather than taking an unorthodox approach, even when we maybe inclined to just throw caution to the wind. Perhaps the fact that you work together might pose some problem down the road if you were to date? The Hierophant says, don't go down that road, continue along a course that is well established and more appropriate in society at large. It can also point to the fact that you are dealing with a force (in this case, J) that is not innovative, but more fixed in the ways of "how things should be done." Overall, my guess would be while J may be interested in you, there's not going to be enough substance to base any sort of relationship on, which may jeopardize the work situation and social structure there. The Hierophant with the son of wands shows someone who is middle-of-the-road and who only takes thing on that suit him. 5's also point to discord, defeat, and learning from it, and the Hierophant and the 5 of wands are both 5's. The 5 of wands is about maintaining faith in yourself when things don't go as you had planned or hoped, and the Hierophant is the guide through that (at times painful) journey. Balance in handling physical endeavors resounds with these two last cards, so again overall: I think if any relationship were to begin, one of you would immediately see that it's not what you expected or would feel very uncomfortable with it from the start.

5 PENTACLES - 10 CUPS - STRENGTH

The 5 of pentacles here is not surprising given the nature of your question. A card of sadness, worry loss or rejection, but mostly just worry. It's counterproductive to worry so much, but with the 10 of cups coming next, it's totally different from what the five of pentacles is projecting. While you may have felt trod down or droopy, the ten of cups is all about radiating energy and vibrance--alternatively, D.M. could be oscillating between feeling completely low and completely high. Interesting that it ends in strength, or the mastering of emotions. It's about patience, composure and self-control, and asking you to find the balance between your total anxiety in its extremes--worry vs. blind kinesis. When Strength comes up, especially with the first two preceding this, it's asking you to harness power for yourself and to realize the courage you need to make the right decision in how to communicate with D.M. is already in you, or alternatively, that he needs to learn that he has it in himself and is capable of standing on his own and figuring this out (even though it's easer to have someone else do it for him). All together these cards speak very much to feeling deplete of something, or that what you had with D.M. was originally there for the two of you, but exterior forces or forces beyond your control were able to unweave what you had created together (I'm assuming this is why you flipped the way you communicate with him). The progression of cards also speaks largely to becoming detached and "losing it all" in a sense, but having that loss end in independence and realizing you are back in control by way of hitting the bottom. I would say he feels alone and confused by the turn in your communicative behavior, but that in the end it's what he will need to realize he needs to be able to handle troubles on his own. In one sense, yes this is helping him, though it feels as if you're hindering him since it will take him time to understand what he needs from himself and he probably really doesn't want to lose you as some sort of emotional salve. He feels pretty confused and lost, wants you to continue to be the sort of balm you once were for him. But I'd say the cards are pointing to the fact that he needs to stop using you as a bandaid and learn to cope for himself.

2 PENTACLES - EMPEROR - 7 SWORDS
6 CUPS fell out as I was shuffling

Do you have ties to any of those three cities from your childhood? Or are you tied to one of those locations familiar to something or someone in your past that is drawing you toward it? It could also just mean looking back on your past to realize or clarify the way forward.

So the 2 of pentacles (ta da!) signifies inevitable change and usually relates to a new job or move. The Emperor is a 4 card, a card of safe stability and foundation. It can relate to the father (maybe that's why the 6 of cups fell out?) or it can suggest reconnecting with the part of that stands proud and knows what to do. I think it's interesting that in the deck I use the 6 of cups and the emperor both have imagery of big, redwood-like trees on them--I wonder if that is literally pointing toward SF? The seven of swords points to secrecy. My sense is that yes, you will definitely be moving for a job, but whether you are the keeper or the kept-from of the deceit that shows up with the 7 of swords surrounding the job is up for question. There may be something about the job that isn't disclosed to you, or something you are keeping from a future employer. It could also just literally be that the place you'll move to is unknown/the universe isn't ready to disclose it to you for whatever reason. I think, though, that it's warning you not to bite off more than you can chew, and to remain alert and true to yourself as your try to juggle new challenges with what you already have going on, it's about balancing day to day affairs and being honest with yourself about what you can handle. The seven of swords can also tie into the two of pentacles and make you feel like this move would be a big risk, but the emperor is there asking you to trust yourself.

Your childhood is really powerful in this reading though, even the two of pentacles points to the nature of your upbringing, the six of cups your childhood/nostalgia, and the emperor a father figure. I'm not sure what it means to you though, would love feedback on that! Overall, this is a great reading I think--that you will get what you desire, but you must be honest with yourself about whether or not what you take on is something that can be maintained long term. Just don't be too dominant, I don't think it will do you any good in the long run. Be self-assured, but humbly so.

JUDGEMENT - ACE OF CUPS - TEMPERANCE

So, wow. Starting with forgiveness and personal freedom. Let pettiness fall behind you, and rise up toward relief, because in the end isn't that what you want? The ace of cups points to love's beginnings, but with Judgement, keep in mind you must forgive, not to forget, but to move forward. The ace of cups will then feel like you're making the whole new start that you need in order to allow it to revitalize your spirit and to give the card the space to offer you the bounty it has in store for you. Temperance is, of course, about healing and renewal. It's asking you to moderate, to focus on cooperation and compromise. The sense of healing you'll feel in forgiving, allowing love in, and then coming to a place of consideration and cooperation will bring harmony back into your life. I'm sensing this is very much about working together, that there is something there worth putting in this work and continuing to build together, but it's definitely something that all parties need to be prepared to do. One side cannot do all the work, the forgiving and the forging forward. Likewise, one side cannot do forgiving while the other just forges forward. You have to find mutual understanding between the both of you in order to let love build between the both of you.

thank u!!
I had interviews in those areas. I've never lived in those areas before period I've been to DC and San Diego but never Los Angeles or San Francisco. I don't have any connections to either. I live in Chicago and that's where I'm from. I'm still sending out applications and it's still all different states so I might not even get a job in one of these states. I really wanted the LA job but I think the guy has moved on

My question is, is the new business venture I've been pondering worth going after and making it happen? Will it be successful?[/QUOTE]
