Something specific happened that made me feel kinda blue. I was just wondering if someone would be in the mood for practicing their tarot/intuitive skills and see if you can figure out what happened that made me feel this way.

Not sure if anyone is up for it, but it would be interesting and maybe it could provide some insight to the situation as well, if someone would prove to have a good intuitive grasp of the circumstances.

Sure! "What am I supposed to do now?"

And I can return the favor if you leave a question, too!

Ok umm, this is a really general question so if your question is what you're actually supposed to do (i.e. what you are going to do) I'd say it's work/study related since I got Six and Three of pentacles (So make sure to finish those homeworks or finish your work related tasks). You've got some planning to do, so get to it!

But I also got Three of Swords and Eight of Cups in reverse as well as Two of Cups. So from these cards there seems to be some emotional baggage that you are carrying around that is connected to a specific situation, which you seem to have a problem letting go of. Hmmm, I feel like you are postponing something or procrastinating something.

I pulled a clarifier and got Ace of Wands in reverse. There's definitely something you ought to do that you haven't begun/finished doing yet. Something's holding you back - could it be this emotional baggage I'm sensing, I'm not sure ...

Could it be that you're applying for a job? Writing a resume? Or something like that? Or that you're thinking about quitting your current job? Something about a loan ... no? It could also be that you have unfinished business with someone and that you have to do something in that area.

(just my two cents, I might be totally wrong)

My question is: What is [x] thinking about?

Haha, it was a vague question that had a funny, yet profound literal answer. I currently *should* be grading my students' rough drafts (I'm a college instructor), but I'm just so burned-out. I'm racking up like... 3 an hour? Guess I need to get a handle on that

The emotional baggage make sense, but I am dealing with it (yay, therapy!) However, I am not working on my writing like I should be (that's my real passion and what I got an MFA in). It's a bit of procrastination, yes, but it's more postponement due to my jobs. I have to work two, because I have student loan debt, and it's just quite a lot to deal with. I have been thinking about fresh starts and how nice it would be to not have such sh**ty debt (I think the baggage is I have a lot of anger about it, given it's tied to parental abandonment). It's hard to keep pushing and pushing without getting a break, you know?

So, I guess I just need to nut-up and get it done, somehow. Who knows? But the Universe never gives us challenges we can't handle.

Past: 10 of Cups (r) w/ 5 of Cups (r)
Present: 3 of Pentacles (r) w/ Knight of Wands
Future: 6 of Cups w/ Emperor (r)

Not sure if this is right, since I wasn't quite sure who X was beyond the initial... but this person is in a negative head space currently; though, I think they are trying to get past that as best they can. Sort of. It's more bull in a china shop then trying to understand why they feel that way. Also, I felt the need to play a song I haven't heard in decades while I read these... "Sex Type Thing" by Stone Temple Pilots. I have no idea why, but I get the sense that X's inner core is in line, somehow, with that song. Maybe not. Idk. It's like a "f**k you" but not? I have no idea how to explain that.

In the past, the 10 of Cups reversed says something fell apart, and X really threw themselves under the bus in terms of getting hyper-negative about the situation. A divorce maybe? A bad family model that X internalized and grew up with. Almost like a kid who sees his mom hit by his dad... and thinks it's his (the kid's) fault. It's a heavy, depressing energy that just feels terrible. Oppressive. How I used to feel about myself actually, before I went into therapy.

Currently, the 3 of Pentacles reversed talks about a rejection of teamwork or assistance... you know, side note. I wondered why I decided to include that piece about me going to therapy, because you're a complete stranger, but I felt like I should. And looking at this card combo, I think I know why. Whoever X is needs help, but they don't think they do. They're taking the Knight of Wands approach which is that "they can fix it," or "they're in control of their own destiny." Which is true. But they need to talk about what's going on. They need other people, and probably, they need therapy. Heaven help who says that to them, though. X isn't ready to hear that/doesn't want to.

In the future, the 6 of Cups is the sign of nostalgia and kindness. I think that, hopefully, they will reach out to someone who can give them some piece of mind and safety; they might even start therapy. However, that Emperor reversed says it's going to be a hard road. They might be unwilling to give up old ideas about themselves (even though they desperately want to), or they might struggle with letting people help them. The Emperor, after all, is the ultimate authority.

So to answer the question, "What is X thinking about," I honestly think X is trying to find ways to fix themselves on their own, without help, and it isn't really working. I think now more than ever, they need kindness and compassion. Someone to listen. Not someone who will say "do this to get better," but someone who will listen then share examples from their own life, and ultimately, help X.

ALSO! I think X is a fabulous hider of feelings. The Knight is so charming, and he never stands still for long. He has tremendous energy... I think X also gets by this way.

Knight of Cups, High Priestess, 5 of wands

Did you have some kind of fight with a woman? maybe over another boy or over some feelings? I am more inclined towards a concrete and specific man. Is this over who wants to be with the man himself?

I get the feeling you somehow tried to calm the girl but it didnt work.Maybe somehow made it worse?

posted February 09, 2017 07:11 PM            

and your reading is so awesome and way more eloquent. I'm just hammering away at my keyboard when writing these. I think you're absolutely right when you say that "X is a fabulous hider of feelings. The Knight is so charming, and he never stands still for long. He has tremendous energy... I think X also gets by this way." That describes this person to a T. There's no way for me to know if he'd benefit from therapy right now. But something happened and I'm not sure how that affects X's emotional life. He'd be stone cold if it didn't get to him somehow. So a negative head space make more than sense. And gosh "bull in a china shop" and that song. I actually think he's pretty ****** off. (Sorry my writing is so confused, but I'm super stressed and I should be in bed, but this is just too exciting).

I'd be glad to provide this X with that kind of compassion. Problem is, he'd never seek it out from me for various reasons. But your reading resonates SO, SO much and it was a great read. Thank you!!!

Lol tell me if Im going good here, cause I have some other things to say about this but I dont know if I am going the right way

Thank you so much lilypad18. Your reading resonates too VERY much. But I did have a fight with that emotional knight instead using my own High Priestess and her intuitive skills. Yes, I made things worse. Way worse probably.

You did awesome. Both you and beccathelion are exactly on point (only with a minor gender reverse in this case). You're both great! Thanks!

When the heck did I become a psychic? Lol. Maybe it was just beginners luck. Oh, and I'm in therapy too. Isn't everyone these days? I hope everything works out for you though and that you're overall okay. Thank you for your kind words!

I just have to add that it's amazing that you picked up on that kind of ****** off energy, because actually I think that's a major part of his emotions right now.

Oh, I'm so glad! I always get so nervous that I'm going crazy or making stuff up. And yeah, he is really unhappy, and I do think, eventually he will reach out to you. It's very comforting (at least on my end) to know he'll have someone.

Yay! We're good at readings!! Haha! And actually, I think everyone has the possibility to be intuitive, but some people just don't know how to listen to their own soul or thoughts. I'm reading a super cool book right now (with a hella crappy title) called "You are Psychic" by Debra Katz. Fascinating read and very helpful. You should try it.

ALSO! I don't know if you saw, but on your beginner thread, you read for Valum. I did that too on my thread asking for a single tarot reading, and dude... just go compare our answers. It's freaking insanely cool.

You're good at what you do! Keep it up! Lots of love from the West Coast <3

I pulled more cards, asking what's the next step in ur situation?

9 of pentacles clarif queen of pentacles, 3 of swords, 6 of cups

I don't know if u are in a relationship with this man, I suppose yes. if u are, I think u two will soon break up or at least be a harsh exchange of words (again if it has already happened). But with this spread I feel like you are really much better on your own, maybe you have more freedom acting up on what u want. I think he was kinda interfering with your own sweet nature, where u do things by heart. Maybe he was trying to put you down because of that?

And you have no need to be nervous, your reading resonated very, very much, so you have every reason to be confident in your Tarot reading and intuitive skills. I will definitely check out the book by Debra Katz. It sounds interesting. Thank you for the suggestion!

I did see the Valum reading. That was so cool. As I said in my Beginner Tarot Practice thread: "The future part of the reading was eerily congruent. Let's hope for Valum's sake that our readings are correct and that they will get their prince in the end!”

posted February 11, 2017 07:52 AM            

It certainly did. It makes me sad to think it may be the way you put it about him being manipulative, because exactly as you say he has a very sweet exterior and a sweet voice and appears to be very kind and gentle. Maybe it was my mistake to think he really is that way underneath as well. But, one things is for certain, he does know what he’s doing. He’s that kind of person. As well, thank you for the reminder that it might not be entirely my fault. It’s just generally complex. Not sure who’s fault it is really, when you boil it down. Lack of communication probably. Misunderstanding so easily arises when you do not communicate.

THANK YOU for the new spread! I hope you’re right! I’m feeling down right now but hopefully in the end it will prove to be a good thing that will make me stronger and more assertive. Maybe I’ll make the transition from the young woman in 9 of Pents to the maturity and stability of the Queen. I will try.
