Seriously now. I'm still very much a beginner, but if you have a known question you'd like to ask or a question about a situation that is basically "known" that you would like to get further insight to, please go ahead and try me.

I would like to know if my readings are reliable at all. Yes/No questions are fine, but I'd rather do interpretive spreads because I think the cards are a bit too complex to read for Yes/No questions. At least when you haven't got very much experience.

Feedback is, of course, very much appreciated!

So many cards wanted to come out and that is always confusing for a beginner. The main energies are:

Three of Pents/Emperor/King of Pentacles
Ten of Wands/Ace of Swords(R)/Eight of Swords(R)

I would say this is not someone you are in a committed relationship with. He could be older than you (Emperor & King of Pentacles), but that depends on your own age. Is he in a position of authority over you? It could be that you met through studies or work. You are not in communication right now, are you? (Ace of Swords(R) & Eight of Swords(R)) Or is he your boss? These two authoritative male figures gave me an impression along those lines.

Is this a man that has hurt you in some way? Or did you have an argument?

I believe you want a relationship with this A, but that there is distance between you.

Two cards speak about you not letting people in easily (Eight of Swords & Four of Pentacles). If that resonates with you, one strategy could be to be more trusting and let people see more of the true you.

You have Knight of Cups in reverse. Could you have this image of prince charming, or a memory of a previous prince charming that is lingering and is creating unrealistic expectations? Or that previous hurt makes it difficult for you to open up again, because you have been so giving previously and have been let down or been cheated on. If that is the case, you must make sure you give a deserving man your trust.

If you identify with Queen of Wands (you also have King of Wands in reverse) it could be that you give your love to emotionally immature men, while you’d actually need this King of Wands upright: A mature and passionate man that appreciates your greatness. My spread doesn’t really show you’re doing much wrong at all. You've got great cards (Strength/Magician/Queen of Wands). You're a powerful woman with a mind of your own and you need a man to match those qualities in you.

So search for a King of Wands and not the emotionally immature Knight of Cups type of guys.

That would be my advice, not sure if it resonates though!

First of all thank you very much.Great reading!

Thats an amazing advice cuz yeah I don't let people in easily.Almost never to be honest lol that's an issue for sure and I will try to change it.

- I never was hurt by anyone else but I have high expectations in love.Unrealistic expectations and I can be easily deceived by myself I have a strong Neptune on my chart and I was deceived once when Tneptune hit my venus and I thought someone else was my SO/TF.Funny thing he appeared as Knight of wands reversed.Maybe this experience still affecting me! Was a very painful experience.

-People usually see me as wands which I think is weird because I have 0 fire on my chart.Sometimes the queen,sometimes the page,sometimes 2 of wands..

Edit:Readers here saw the King of wands for me in future...sometimes he appears as the Knight of wands though.Yes I need a mature man.

We haven't been fighting and communicate all the time, but in the past there have been hurts, yes. (Hmm now that I"m thinking about it, maybe the other presence could be my ex. We had an exchange not that long ago that did upset me.)

I hope you’ll find that King of Wands of yours! I’m sure you will

@lilacbreeze: Thank you so much for your feedback! Sorry a couple of things were off though! Yeah, those last cards might speak of the situation with your ex. Did it stir you up? Or did it stir something up in your relationship? Can one of those authoritative men even be representative of your ex? Does his energy relate to either Emperor or King of Pents? (I also pulled Knight of Pents as a clarifier, so this might also be him).

Your current strengths:

Page of Swords/King of Cups: This one’s tricky. You could have a supportive male in your life or it could represent you. Overall these two cards exudes a very benevolent energy. It could be that you’re good at accepting constructive criticism. That you’re emotionally mature, with just the right amount of witty playfulness of the Page.

Ace of Pentacles/Page of Pentacles(R): These are both reversed. But it seems like you are generally good at handling your finances. Finances seem to be your focus currently. Though, since they are reversed, something might be a bit amiss. You seem to have good potential for material success, nevertheless.

Ten of Wands/Eight of Pentacles: These cards seem to suggest that you are a tenacious worker. You have the ability to work hard and produce good results in your work. You are able to take on a lot before the work load actually starts feeling overwhelming. You push yourself hard. Sometimes even too hard, which will be shown in the improvement spread.

Improvement spread:

Ten of Swords/Four of Swords: Something’s making you feel worn-out. It could be work or relationship oriented. Since it’s beneath the Page of Swords/King of Cups, small disputes at home can be leaving you feeling drained and run down. You need to take some time out. It might sound like a cliché, but treat yourself to a spa! Try to get away and rest from whatever’s draining you.

Eight of Swords/Ten of Pentacles: These are beneath Ace of Pentacles/Page of Pentacles(R). So could this be the reason for something being amiss? You’re feeling tied down by your financial situation. Or that you’re afraid to take the necessary steps to free yourself from the situation that is draining you because you are afraid of losing your material security.

Four of Wands/Knight of Pentacles: The Knight here reminds me of the man in Four of Pentacles. Like you’re holding onto something because you have a need to feel safe and secure (Four of Wands), but that this holding on might be getting in the way of true happiness. Or that you're too focused on the pentacle (work or finances) the Knight is holding out, that you don't have time to enjoy what you have, or to take a break and do something fun for yourself.

Thank you so for your reading, I take it like a gift !!

I want to give you a good feedback and i'll make it after a good night, because it my turn now to feel down

It's amazing like i ask you for about love and affection and it becomes about finance/ security but please be kind wiht you : it makes sens for me, it seems have a link

Please take care about your energies...

posted February 14, 2017 04:07 PM            

Haha, I thought about that too! But I feel Pentacles are so insanely tricky to interpret in regards to love readings. So I assumed the cards wanted to tell me that something in your home/finances needed to be taken care of before love can enter the stage - something like that.

It could just be my energies too. And I REALLY need to upgrade my deck. I'm not really friends with the one I have at the moment. Besides, it's notorious for giving me a lot of wands and pentacles (as you can see). So maybe it's a work and finances deck . Though, I want a deck that I can rely on for all areas. I need to look for the perfect one. But I'll view it as training and thanks for volunteering.

Yes pentacle cards are sometimes difficult to read for love and affection but just look at the interpretations and turn them for love, behaviors in love ... At least I feel it and do so.
For your Deck, did you think about "cleaning"? Do you know some methods? I assure you that it should be done regularly when you feel that your cards do not answer you correctly anymore. Also think about praying to angels or meditation or how you like it before each day of spread!
Choosing a deck with nice pictures for you like and that you like in dimension. All this is essential for a good connection and for the pleasure of practicing (Now do you see here my king of cups warm teacher !)

I did a little different Spread for this. On the left is your feelings for J. The middle is your relationship. On the right is J’s feelings for you.

World / Ten of Swords(R) / Devil
Judgment / Six of Wands / Page of Wands
Page of Pentacles(R) / [Eight of Swords(R) / Temperance(R) / Two of Pentacles(R) / Three of Swords(R)] / Hierophant

What do we have here? I get battle of the egos. Pride and hurt feelings getting in the way of love. His first cards is Devil, which could either point towards sexual feelings, jealousy or hurt: The brooding type of energy; the silly type of pride: ”If she doesn’t then I won’t …” or ”If she behaves that way I won’t behave mature either …”. The first card that represents the relationship is Ten of Swords(R). So, again hurt feelings or an argument (ugh, why is my deck so negative right now?) You’ve got World for your feelings for him. This is in general a positive card, but it could also point to you feeling you’re too good for him and that you’re blocking him out. But it also could point towards you not letting any petty behavior on his part get to you. World & Devil together could also be a sexual type of connection. But it’s obviously not all roses right now, since you’ve got Ten of Swords in he middle. Hmm, well, I did ask what you felt for each other, but these cards I believe is representative of how you relate to each other. If it would be reverse, and it actually represents your feelings for each other, you would view him as perfect and he would view you either as sexy or cunning. So you'd feel he is perfect for you and he'd be more interested in sex - perhaps. Depends on the connection you have to each other.

Judgment / Six of Wands / Page of Wands could point to a recent conversation. You could have been craving an answer from him. You could have had a dispute, in which both of you pictures yourselves as the winner in some way. Page of Wands is looking towards the horizon. Not really letting the present get to him. But these cards together is somewhere in-between a playful and serious energy. Could point to some playful bickering.

The last cards could be said to represent how you relate to your relationship in general. There’s some indecisiveness there. Some hurt feelings again. Could J be willing to take this to the next level due to Hierophant? I’m a bit confused if my deck actually gave me your feelings for each other or if it gave me your energies on your respective sides. Either way, one of you seems to want to take this relationship further, while the other is a bit indecisive and immature for the other person’s taste. This - potential - playfulness and indecisiveness that could have been going on could also prove to be even more harmful to your connection than one could imagine, because there’s hurt (Three of Swords) in the middle of the playfulness. So try to be more compassionate with each other.

Does it resonate? Or can you find a more accurate way to interpret the spread? Remember I’m practicing, so any feedback on how you read the cards in relation to your connection is very helpful for future spreads.

Is the relationship on hold right now btw? I was thinking about the energies at the bottom: [Eight of Swords(R) / Temperance(R) / Two of Pentacles(R) / Three of Swords(R)]

Being stuck / Connection not quite in balance / Juggling / Hurt

posted February 15, 2017 09:59 AM            

Thank you for getting back to me with feedback! Haha and the warm teacher energy is coming through. Most certainly. And I need it, so thank you!

I will take your reflection on the spread for future guidance on how to read the cards. So it was great getting your perspective.

First and foremost I think I have to find a deck that appeals to my imagination and intuitiveness. This is just some cheap copy of the Raider-Waite one, which doesn’t actually add anything from its imagery, which I believe would be helpful when interpreting. But I’ll try to read up some more on cleaning methods. Though I think I’ll visit a shop this week that I know sell some decks and pick out a brand new one and try to make good friends with it.

I also get the sense that you mean well, both of you but the way you're expressing yourself to each other creates misunderstandings. Both are a bit afraid of getting hurt, it seems. In general, you've got powerful cards though, so I wouldn't just throw it all away, if there's where you're both at. Try to come together in understanding or an agreement.

Wow! Yes you are very accurate! I asked for him to take his dating profile down and he wouldn't which resulted in an argument. I want a relationship with someone who isn't out looking for someone else and clearly his refusal tells me he is still talking and looking. There is a definite sexual chemistry between us and that isn't a problem and we are able to have fun. But I notice he's pulled back and I refuse to reach out to him at this point. And yes just feelings for sure.

If you have the time to answer a question of mine I'd gladly pick up on the offer. I've inquired about this a bit already, but you can always get clarifiers: What is going through X's thoughts and emotional life right now?

I'll get back to you

Btw, since you two have Six of Wands at the center, it's as if it's a question of pride. Six of Wands is the same silly type of ego pride as the Devil: Petty! But I do, as said, get the sense that both of you mean well. Even him, but that he's trying to prove his masculinity/superiority. Something superduper silly like that. I think he'll come around. But let's see what the cards say ...

AND Page of Wands with the Hierophant could, after knowing more about the situation, point to him being afraid of releasing that "playboy" attitude and grow the he** up. He doesn't want to release the Page of Wands and transition into the Hierophant, because that would be missing out on his Bachelor life --- something along those lines.

As for X and his thoughts/feelings I got woman, fox, giraffe, fairy, candles and clarifying card bottle. So first of all, X is feeling a bit drained/exhausted but looks like there is a woman on his mind and he feels very comfortable with this person and like he can count on her. He's definitely looking at the big picture with this person. It even looks like there is temptation with this woman but he's hiding those feelings for her. But he's going to tell her at some point because of the comfort level.

posted February 15, 2017 03:48 PM            

Your questions were: "Can I ask if he is talking /meeting or looking to meet other women? And will he come back to how he was?”
This is what I got for you and J:

How does he relates to other women: Three of Cups, Ace of Swords, Death, Emperor

How he relates/feels for dustib: High Priestess(R), Magician, Ten of Cups

What is his intent with dustib: Ten of Pentacles

Will he get back to the way he was: Page of Wands/Nine of Wands(R)/World(R)

Overall energy: Queen of Pentacles

As you can see I asked a couple of additional question, just to get a good overview.

Since we’ve got Three of Cups and Ace of Swords he could be in contact with other women, either through the dating site or IRL. Death and Emperor do seem to suggest that his behavior will soon come to an end. It can also be that he doesn’t really care how his actions affect others, since I don’t think Emperor is a very mindful energy. But Death could bring about a sudden change of mind. It could be that he realizes that he must stop his selfish behavior and take responsibility.

The cards how he relates to you, could be that he views you as the woman on the side, but that your character has a very powerful impact on him, which could bring about the change suggested by the Death card, and with Ten of Cups I think that he sees a future with you. You have the characteristics to make him feel emotionally fulfilled.

His intent with you also exudes a serious energy: Ten of Pentcales. He could think you’re a good partner to settle down with. Thus, two tens. I sense a nice future potential, if only he can mature within himself.

He still has the Page of Wands (playboy) attitude, so I don’t think he’ll come around without a struggle (Nine of Wands). World reversed has a nice explanation on psychic-revelation so I’ll post that interpretation because it describes the situation quite well:

"General: Whether upright or reversed, this can often be a card of completion. You’ve worked hard, and you are almost to the “finish line” in some way. Don’t quit now that you’re almost finished! You’re almost definitely in need of some well deserved rest and relaxation; don’t be afraid to take it. You are getting closer to “who you really are,” at your deepest levels. If you aren’t seeing this progress when the world appears in reverse, take stock. What is standing in your way? Where are you stuck?”

and in a love spread:

"Love: If you have been in a long-term committed relationship for some time, you and/or your partner may be feeling a little stuck and or a little stagnant when this card appears in reversal. If you try, and if you are honest with yourselves and each other, you are likely to find it rising to “new and better heights.” Things in the love department should be quite interesting, in a good way. If you’re looking for love, reach out. Don’t be afraid to mingle or talk to strangers. But if you close yourself off because of fear, nothing will change. Open up. This will make all the difference.”
