I'm reopening this since it seemed to do well the first time. I've bumped it up to five sitters, as well. The rules are the same, choose either a career or love spread.

Don't ask any questions, just sit. This is for practice, so please leave feedback! 3 seats are already claimed, 2 open

1. onlythegoodthings, career done
2. Brendan34, love done
3. FatedCinderella, love done
4. ProxyxBlue, love done
5. Jazabel, love done

So, I don't know if you saw the previous thread and how I'll be doing the career readings, but I'll repeat it again! I'll be using keywords that stand out the most to me and creating the story off of that.

Cards 1 through 3 are the skills and strengths that you have, cards 4 through 6 are careers that best suit your skills and strengths, and card 7 is the best course of action based off cards 1 through 6.

These are the cards I pulled for 1 through 3: Four of Wands, Page of Pentacles, King of Cups
Four of Wands: excited
Page of Pentacles: practical, hard-working
King of Cups: wise, compassion

When it comes to work, you want to be excited about what you do. Like they say, "do what you love, and you’ll never work another day in your life." Because of this, you work hard to reach goals and move up the ladder in whatever you do. Your smarts and empathy tend to make you well liked among coworkers and your boss.

These are the cards I pulled for 4 through 6: The Hanged Man, Judgement, King of Wands
The Hanged Man: psychology
Judgement: management
King of Wands: passion

I think because of your skills and personality type, some possible career paths would be psychology or something along those lines. Your compassion can help others and your hard working nature will boost you up the chain in no time. Another would be management, you might be the type that needs to lead. This isn't just any type of management though, not in retail or food or anything, but a high power company where you can move up the ladder quickly because of your hard working nature and wisdom.

The last card, card 7 is: Six of Pentacles
Six of Pentacles: resources, power,everything you need to succeed is available to you

Brendan, I'm going to be doing 2 spreads for you. One is Yve's understanding love spread and the other is a coming love spread. Hopefully this will shed some light on your situation and what's to come and let me know if it resonates

There are 12 cards in the understanding love spread.

1. How do I think I receive love
card pulled: six of pentacles
You think that you receive love in a give and take type of way. Someone takes care of you and you learn from them about things you did not have prior knowledge in. You think your significant other tends to dominate you, and you submit to their commands.

2. How do I actually receive love
card pulled: ten of cups
It's the exact opposite. It's actually an equal partnership that's supposed to provide lasting happiness and support. You're relaxed when you're with an SO and they with you.

3. How do I think I give/express love
card pulled: nine of cups
You think that the way you express love is by providing comfort to your SO. You make them happy and satisfied and fulfill their sexual needs.

4. How do I actually give/express love
card pulled: two of wands
You can actually be a little domineering in the relationship, not saying that's necessarily a problem, some are into that, but in your past relationships it has been a cause of conflict.

5. What I need to understand about giving love
card pulled: four of pentacles
A relationship is meant to be an equal partnership. Let go of any controlling nature that you might have. You don't have to be in charge, this isn't the workplace. Don't step on the head of your lover to move up.

6. What I need to understand about receiving love
card pulled: ace of cups
Be more trusting and less cynincal. If you think a new lover has bad intentions, STOP! It's doing nothing good. Accept their affection and attempts at intimacy, don't push them away.

7. What is holding me back/working against me giving love fully
card pulled: strength
Your need for control is holding you back, as well as your tendency to doubt your love and your pride preventing you from fully opening up to them.

8. What is aiding me in giving love more freely.
card pulled: ace of wands
Your optimism is helping you with creating new relationships. The confidence and courage you exude from yourself attracts others in, but remember, these things alone can't and won't be enough. They are just stepping stones.

9. What works against/holds me back from receiving love
card pulled: page of cups
Holding back your intimacy is one. You may come off insecure, lazy and immature to prospective lovers. Work on these and you'll find love.

10. What aids me in receiving love more freely.
card pulled: page of pentacles
Your practicality is appealing to many, and are you working a high paying job? Watch out for gold diggers lol

11. What do I need to focus on/build on to give love more fully
card pulled: nine of wands
Stop being so defensive. You need to keep trucking on, don't become stagnant in a relationship or when you're looking for one.

12. What do I need to focus on/build on to receive love more fully
card pulled: three of swords
Release any bad feelings you have towards past lovers, they will hold you back from reaching your full potential with a lover.

The second also has 12 cards, this is gonna be a long read, hahahaha.

1. Who is your coming love interest.
card pulled: the magician
Whoever is coming into your life, they're someone who takes action when need be. They're cunning and skillful, and excellent and adapting to their surroundings. They're a chameleon! You'll never have any issues communicating with them, either.

2.Their work, job.
card pulled: the chariot
They're in control at their workplace, suggesting they might be a manager or a business owner.

3.Their quality.
card pulled: nine of wands
They're someone who is persistent and never gives up.

4.Their flaw.
card pulled: five of wands
They're competitive and have an affinity for starting arguments or debates.

5.Their look
card pulled: four of wands
Possibly blonde or brunette, with blue or green eyes. Fair skinned and lean. They'll be pretty short, though.

6. What they will think of you the first time you will meet.
card pulled: six of wands
They'll think you're arrogant and prideful, but confident and well-accomplished.

7. What you will think of them the first time you will meet.
card pulled: ten of wands
You'll think they're kind of oppressive, obnoxious, so to speak. You'll also think they're creative and witty.

8.Their feelings for you.
card pulled: the moon
They'll feel insecure when they're with you, it's not a good card for relationships.

9. Your feelings for him/her.
card pulled: the hermit
You might feel isolated in their presence, or that you're trying too hard in the relationship.

10. The strength of your relationship.
card pulled: page of wands
The excitement they bring into your life will bring great pleasure. They'll encourage you.

11. The weakness of your relationship.
card pulled: seven of pentacles
You both don't see this relationship lasting long, there's a blockage for the both of you.

2- psychology and management are two main course I want to take but I was unsure and your reading helped me a lot. I think I will choose management since I love taking the lead

3- I'll let you know!! I am super excited

posted June 17, 2017 08:51 PM            

So, like with Brendan, we'll be doing the understand love spread first!

1. How do I think I receive love
card pulled: king of pentacles
You think you receive love in the most stable ways, so to speak, that there's no issues in your relationships. You trust in your partner and think they're reliable no matter what.

2. How do I actually receive love
card pulled: knight of swords
The love you receive is actually the opposite, it's overbearing and unfeeling. In the past, have the lovers you've been with been nice at face value and end up being the polar opposite from what you initially saw them as?

3. How do I think I give/express love
card pulled: the emperor
You think you express your love in a stable way, a way that contributes to building the relationship further.

4. How do I actually give/express love
card pulled: queen of wands
The love you actually give is exuding confidence but also independence, you might come off a little colder than you actually are. It's a charming type of love but jealousy can linger around the corner.
charisma, enterprise, confidence, success, independence, jealousy, diva, demanding, irritability

5. What I need to understand about giving love
card pulled: nine of pentacles
Funnily enough, I think you have an good understanding of giving love, the description for nine of pents is similar to queen of wands. The only thing is that you should stop relying on yourself and instead let them lend a shoulder to you when you need it. Independence is good, but there is such thing as too much of a good thing!

6. What I need to understand about receiving love
card pulled: ace of wands
Be a little more enthusiastic towards your partner when they show affection towards you! Rid yourself of any pessimistic mindset you have towards someoen showing you love or kindness.

7. What is holding me back/working against me giving love fully
card pulled: ace of cups
Are you feeling disconnected when you're in relationships? Your blocked love is holding you back and stunting any chance of growth in a relationship or long term relationship in general. Be a little more trusting.

8. What is aiding me in giving love more freely.
card pulled: wheel of fortune
This card is hard to read given the statement. Maybe you're just lucky in love, you find great people (at least at face value) easily, so you're able to be a little more loving at the beginning.

9. What works against/holds me back from receiving love
card pulled: six of cups
Your innocence and the fact that you tend to live in the past, thus holding you back from moving forward. You might come off a little immature and that can cause conflict.

10. What aids me in receiving love more freely.
card pulled: eight of wands
Your excitement at the idea of a lasting relationship is appealing to those already attracted to you.

11. What do I need to focus on/build on to give love more fully
card pulled: six of wands
Let go of your pride, there's no need for arrogance in a relationship.

12. What do I need to focus on/build on to receive love more fully
card pulled: three of wands
Be adventurous, and creative. Get rid of any unrealistic expectations you hold towards a relationship. Fairytales are fairytales for a reason, so don't base your love life off what Cinderella got.

As for the coming love spread...

1. Who is your coming love interest.
card pulled: hierophant
They're someone who has a traditional view on life and relationships, they're educated and do well in group settings. Outgoing as well. They also have the tendency to gain weight if they don't keep up with themselves.

2. Their work, job.
card pulled: queen of swords
They too might be a business owner, lol. They're bossy and don't do well with being told what to do, possibly a small business owner, or a teacher.

3. Their quality.
card pulled: nine of swords
Not a positive quality, sorry They might be suffering from depression or anxiety, don't let this sway you, though.

4. Their flaw.
card pulled: six of swords
When going through a particularly tough bout of depression, they become listless. It's hard for them to be positive.

5. Their look
card pulled: devil
Attractive and well-dressed. They wear the outfit, the outfit doesn't wear them.

6. What they will think of you the first time you will meet.
card pulled: eight of wands
Once again, lol, they'll see you as someone brimming with excitement. You might be a little off-putting to them if you speak before you think, though.

7. What you will think of them the first time you will meet.
card pulled: lovers
You'll relate to them well and instantly. Instant attraction, physically, mentally, all of that jazz. 'Love at first sight' or at least 'Like'.

8. Their feelings for you.
card pulled: two of wands
They'll love your personality. Your boldness, confidence, your ability to speak your mind. All attributes that made them want to be with you in the first place.

9. Your feelings for them.
card pulled: judgement
With them, everyday is a new day. They make you feel like you're in the movie 50 first dates! Well, without the amnesia that is.

10. The strength of your relationship.
card pulled: ten of swords
Your perseverance in the relationship keeps it strong, when there's issues, conflict and downfalls, you both find a way to fix it. It's an equal partnership with you two.

11. The weakness of your relationship.
card pulled: four of cups
At times, one of you can come off as a little bit unappreciative for all that the other does for you.

12. Love potential in long term.
card pulled: three of pentacles
Working together. You guys are a team, you work together so well, I see this lasting for a while, as long as you continue the equal partnership and work on the flaws in your relationship to assure a lasting love.

1-Yeah usually I think they are reliable.

2-Yeah I can relate a little with it.

3-Yes I agree!

4- I come off colder than I truly am.

5 - Yes I always rely on myself.I wanted to be different though, I want a shoulder and support from a partner but I don't feel connected to them enough to fully trust.

6- haha that's a good advice sometimes when they do something good for me I just act with a poker face.Not enthusiastic enough!

7-Yes and I wanted to feel conected to someone else but I rarely do.I don't know how to changed it! "stunting any chance of growth in a relationship" That's true! I didn't put much efford on my past relationship.

8-this one is confusing for me but as you said this card here is difficult.

9-Not sure about this one but maybe I really do it! I may come off as innocent and immature at times.I don't have much experience in love!

10- Cool!

11- Ouch I'm really arrogant on relationships.I'm glad you pulled this card because is something that I had to admit and be more aware of.

12-Ouch again! I really do have unrealistic expectations lol I want someone to be with my whole life!
I act very stupid because of it! and I'm not adventurous! so this a really good advice.

I'm got some punches here with your spread but I really like it!!! lol There's no way to change without noticing our mistakes right?

1-I also have a tradional view of life!
2-Cool!
3- if that is his quality maybe he just doesn't lose any sleep with worries?That's only an idea cuz I saw this before representing someone I would meet.3 of swords showed up for him and the cross too! So perhaps it's truly what is happening! If that's the case I understand honestly I wasn't on my best emotional shape recently either and depression can caught anyone else.I feel more worried about the influence on me because I get easily down if someone is pessimist or something like that.
4- :/
5-Never thought the devil card could represent someone attractive!
6-that's great!
7- Seems good!
8-😆😆😆
9- hahaha
10-Very positive thing!
11- I will keep my eyes open for not being me!
12-Lasting for while but no chance of something more?Here I go again with my unrealistic expectations? lol do you think looks like it worth my time?I mean this relationship?
