I think he was enjoying time by himself, focusing on his own needs, chilling, just being at home resting and looking after himself. I don’t think he’s with anyone. I got Four of Cups and Swords. Both are cards about weariness and retreat and about taking the time off to wind down and contemplate. These were followed by King of Pentacles, which in this spread would represent himself; probably nothing more, nothing less. So just him, at home, winding down. The last cards are Seven of Wands and Six of Swords both portraying a single man engaging in solitary ”pursuits”. He could either be preparing for some task he has got ahead or him. I even got: Playing video games. You know, something along those lines, and, in fact exactly what he wrote to you: Peace and quiet is priceless. I think he was talking as much about himself as he did about you. From these cards it’s unlikely he’s with someone else. Possibly another male friend, certainly not a female (judging from the cards), but I get the sense that he’s just alone enjoying the peace and quiet.

Four of Cups, Four of Swords, King of Pentacle
Seven of Wands, Six of Swords

Regarding my first reading, I should really have taken the repeated Nine of Swords more seriously. I guess I chose to try to look at it in a positive light. And Eight of Swords in the outcome position, yeah, you remember the meaning: Disturbance, interference, limitation, conflict, blame, resistance.

If you want me to do another reading if you have any questions regarding this, let me know. I’m not at home right now so I don’t have my decks. But later I can certainly try to help if you’re wondering anything.

My second reading, I’m glad it resonated. Both of the guys in the Seven and Six card (in the Cosmic tarot deck) looks like they’re doing gymnastics/practicing ”physical arts” of some sort. So, him being at the gym doesn’t surprise me and now I’ve learned another meaning for these cards.

Not that it’s the end of the world, but it’s a commonality to add your friends (and romantic partners) on there. Like, it’s a simple gesture, but a declination says a lot.

Is your question if it’s over or if he only was with you for sex? Could you specify so I don’t get the energies mixed up. You can of course ask both, but just so it’s clear.

You know: "I like you and I want us to date and get to know each other and see where it goes. Is this something you would be interested in (i.e monogamously dating me) or shouldn’t I invest my time in you?”

I think readings are great, but since you two are in direct contact, wouldn’t it be even better to talk openly to this person. Open and direct communication is so very important. Would it be possible at all?

Seems like he's sending out mixed messages, so I think some directness on his part would be great. What do you think?

Even I am confused by this situation haha. I know it’s difficult, but you seem to have regular contact so, maybe just try to break the ice and get some answers. The guy is over 30, isn’t he? So he should be able to talk for himself, methinks.

I basically just left it all in his court. He knows I like him and I apologized but I am who I am too. I won't message him again as then it seems like I'm begging. So I'm just wondering if it's over and I can completely write him off or if it's not and if it's not, is he only around for sex cause if so, I can write him off. And you've been extremely accurate!

I will do the reading as soon as I get back home. I'm actually curious about the answer myself. So hopefully my cards will give me a clear answer, so they don't add to the confusion.

Ugh, I know I said I wouldn't ask about X anymore and this will be the scariest question up until now, because I think he hates me right now. But some part of me wants to ask: What does X feel for me?

posted February 21, 2017 10:26 AM            

For you, I got cage, bird, devil, arrow, chair and clarifying card circle. I'm wondering if X did something that would make him feel this guilt he's feeling. I again see the restrictions he's placed on himself but he does feel you are perfect and he knows if he allowed himself, he could be happy with you. But man oh man, he's dismissing all of that. This man is frustrating! He feels like he's hurt you and for that he feels guilty about it. He totally has feelings for you.... I want to use the love oracle and see what kind of feelings specifically

How does x feel about you romantically?
dog, dancer, birds, hands, bed and clarifying card scissors. Boy he's cut off for sure from allowing himself to act on anything. I will ask in a minute if he'll get over that. But trust that any arguments or meanness from him is for that reason....he feels he's protecting you from falling for him and being disappointed and lonely even if you're with him. But he does like you and trust you. The bed is a reconfirmation about him finding you attractive...he desires you. Hands is about friendship...he wants it but then we have the scissors which is him cutting you off, causing arguments.

It would probably be better for me to just forget it all, but since there’s no way we can talk to each other right now, you kinda tend to get stuck in rumination. If people just communicated better with each other I think Tarot would be a lot less popular, because then you wouldn’t have anything to ask about - well, except the future, of course.

I appreciate your reading so much. It was super interesting as usual, and the guilt that keeps reappearing makes sense. If he’d just be willing to meet me halfway I’d explain that there’s no reason to feel guilty, but yeah … stubbornness, I guess. Even your readings seem to confirm what a confused situation this is. The Love Oracle would be cool, but still, this is very scary for me. It’s the worst of times to ask, I believe. I think the scissors represents both of us somehow. We’re cutting each other off. Pride on both our parts probably ... I don’t know ... It’s messy. Very interesting and detailed reading nevertheless. Oh, I forgot to add how much I enjoy that you pull clarifiers for the situation to get a better overview. That's really kind of you.

I really understand! I hate waiting. I have no patience at all. But trust me that I’ll do your reading as soon as I walk through my door. I won’t even take my shoes off haha. If you have any other questions let me hear it right away and I’ll do those too when I get back.

Soul mate:
flies, giraffe, turtle, parrots, fairy and clarifying card eggs.
Hmmmm there is a connection and I see where you both like talking to one another but the cards are telling you to go with your wisdom and look at the big picture on that question. So I'm going to say no to the soul mates but then I don't know if I truly believe in that either. I do think there are people we meet that we have a deep connection with but soul mates is a bit much.

I’m finally home!

I hoped my deck would make this easy for me, but it wanted me to solve a little puzzle this evening. That’s obvious. I think maybe you’ll have to ask a new question and word it a little differently because I’m not certain I will make sense of this. Nevertheless, I will try, and I will mainly go for the interpretations offered for this specific deck if you think it sounds a little different than the Rider-Waite definitions.

If it’s over between you: Emperor, Eight of Pentcales(R), Two of Cups

The first card Emperor talks about masculine power. Eight of Pentacles in reverse is vanity. Two of cups is union and strong links upright. I’m almost certain that I pulled it upright but suddenly it was reversed. I’m not sure if I was being clumsy, because I dropped the deck. In reverse, however, it is contradictory feelings, unresponded love and false relationship. Yet, I do believe it was upright originally, thus, it does not seem like this relationship is over, but that everything again will have to happen according to the rules he sets for your relationship (masculine power) and with the vanity card I get the: ”He’s full of himself” kind of vibe that I have been talking about. But if the relationship truly is over, according to these cards, it doesn’t seem like it.

What he feels for you: Ten of Cups, Four of Cups(R)

Ten of cups is satisfaction (in Rider-Waite it’s emotional fulfillment) and then we have Four of Cups in reverse which is either reflection, new possibilities or weariness, decaying joy and refusal. So it’s exactly what you said before. These are conflicting energies so it doesn’t seem like even he himself knows what he wands. Ten of Cups would be interest and Four of Cups disinterest, but it’s reversed so apparently the vibe from that is a little more positive in this deck, so, it can be that he will see new possibilities with you that will bring him satisfaction. It can also be that he swings back and forth between wanting and the opposite.

If he’s only interested in sex: Four of Wands, Prince of Wands(R), Magician(R)

I often read Prince of Wands (especially in reverse) as a player. So this can be an indication that he’s mainly interested in sex and Four of Wands in this deck is fiery love and with Magician in reverse which mean immaturity and disgrace, there is a possibility that he mainly is interested in a sexual relationship. Magician in reverse can also be manipulation and unwillingness to communicate openly and fairly.

Let me know if you have another question, or want me clarify anything. In that case I will try a little different and more structured spread as suggested by the instructions that came with the tarot deck.

Have you heard anything from him? Has he responded to your message?

posted February 21, 2017 03:20 PM            

Eek, why couldn’t Nine of Cups have been upright! That would be a definite yes, yes, yes and whatever he would have said would have surprised you big time, in a good way. King of Pentacles is J’s energy in this spread. Tower is a sudden event and Nine of Cups upright would have turned this event in your favor. But reversed … I think there’s a possibility that you will hear for him or see him, but it might not produce the wanted outcome.

I tried to pull timing cards from my other deck and got Nine of Pentacles and if you wouldn’t have given me specific timeframe I would have said: Within 9 days. But now ... this Nine with Nine of Cups. It seems significant. But I’m not certain about the timing.

So I read this as adding meaning to the spread instead and this is what psychic revelation has to say about the Nine of Pentacles in a love spread: "The 9 of pentacles is an excellent omen with regard to love, also. If you're currently committed, you can expect the relationship to raise to new heights of intimacy and joy. If you're unattached and looking, this card tells you that someone new who has what it takes to be a new, meaningful, deep love, could be headed your way very soon. Smile. The world loves a lover.”

I also pulled another clarifier and got Lovers! I actually think this spread looks rather promising. Let’s just say it would surprise me if you don’t hear from him. I’m not sure if it will happen before Friday, but possibly within 9 days and generally I think the outcome will be good (since we added Lovers to the flavor).

I hope I’m right. But this spread screams action. Let me know how it works out!
