ace of cups wheel of fortune high priestess

8 of wands on wheel of fortune

this says, to me, some events not far in the future, an important message, will give you the answer you seek


Thank you, LeeLoo!! I really appreciate it! Yes, I wasn't kidding about what's going on: enough time has passed to heal most of the wounds he left, so I don't feel that my head is fogged anymore by crazy pink dreams.

It wasn't so much about how he looks or general details. For "how will we meet?" I pulled MICE. This guy was relatively rich himself too, so he believed that the law doesn't applied to him. In the beginning it took me about a week to realize that someone was breaking in my computer. at the time he thought that he was doing it "out of love." x-( The other meaning I could think about MICE would be during depression therapy or something like that, but I haven't been depressed since the shock of what he did wore off.

Then I got on the relationship challenges FISH. It was the money that broke us up. He told me once that he hated that he loved me because I'm not rich enough. Well, he got his rich woman and she brought him a ton of "happiness." I shouldn't be glad about another's misery, but I think that was Karma at work.

Anyways, I'll return to my good ol' work project and wait for the future to unravel. thank you again! Any time you need a reading, please don't hesitate to ask!

Enneline,

curiously I have pretty much the same question as you, though in my mind I phrased it as: Will I meet someone new?
But I meant it like you phrased it, someone new with whom I could fall in love and have a nice committed relationship with.

So for your committed relationship

1. Ace of Cups - 3 of pentacles - 4 of pentacles

AWWW , I saw the ace of cups
While I am usually not a friend of the 4 of pentacles, I think here it might mean stability. A road starting with falling totally completely head over heels inevitably in love (Ace of Cups), then working towards the commitment (might also mean a third person will be instrumental or a catalyst) and leading to stability and settling down.


2.
Queen of Swords

Your magic power card is the ability to make reasonable, smart and consequential decisions. Not taking any crap from anyone, but staying true to yourself, no compromising your values but defending them. And honesty and also maybe cutting off that which will not suit you (suitors who are not fitting for example). That is your forte.


3. Page of Pentacles - 6 of swords - 6 of pentacles - King of Cups - Hierophant

WOW
Can`t get any clearer than that.

It will start slowly with a lot of admiration, also the leaving of a bad situation for something better (maybe coming out of a relationship that did not work out, or even leaving the single-existence. lol); that new relationship will be based on a fair give and take, equality is a must, otherwise you might meet your King of Cups, your soulmate, in an event that might have somethin to do with charity in the broadest of terms.
And it will lead into commitment and with Hierophant I clearly hear wedding bells!

For Ceri

1. how are the chances?
moon 9 of pentacles and queen of pents
-> i got the star as clarifier for the q. Wish will be fullfilled. After some confusion, mourning and spiritual development and a long period of time being a sufficient single lady, you will find love


2: magical power to use
9 of cups
Be self confident. even self-sufficient. Verkauf dich nicht unter Wert you have a lot, and you can give a lot, so don't choose a guy who's not worth it.

3: how can the wish come true?
9 of cups 7 of wands knight of pents fool 6 of wands
-> again the 9 of cups, being satisfied and self-confident, the will to fight, approaching things in the most sensible way (or you get approached by a sensible guy) should lead to a fresh new, start. Simply victorious
The 9 of cups & 6 of wands speaks of emotional success at the highest level. The knight of pents in the middle is no nonsense. No girlish dream, no exaggeration, just a romanitc old-fashioned approach

I phrased the the whole reading in terms of you and what you want for her, what you can do to help her.
1) if your wish is likely to come true
8 of swords- 5 of discs- page of cups

This is a yes for me. Clearly you are hearing a lot of naysayers bc the 8 of swords is often the thoughts of other that we incorporate or begin to think of as our own that bind us. The 5 of diacs is a beautiful and follow up as a show of literally moving away from all that thinking and even lifestyle. I'm going to assume she's actually moving, your faith or even the combined faith of the two of you is what will lead her to wellbeing. Or at least a much better start in it.

2) magic card
2 of cups!
I think it's pretty self explanatory. Your commitment to her is truly a pure expression of love.

3) what you can do
Justice- emperor- moon

Moon I think may end up being a good thing here. It's like the power of the Emperor is what makes his reality the reality to see. It can also mean that you can only do so much. Justice and Emperor make me think of details and laws to go over in this new place/country or what have you. There is a need to be objective and level headed here to ensure that everything that needs to be taken care of, is.

Also with the 5-2 and emperor I think she's going to be happy and content in this new place. It has what she needs.

Reposting in case this gets lost.

No, no one owes me a reading, but one would be appreciated, and of course I will exchange.

Enneline, just wanted to ask this: so according to your practice, if we need or want something badly, this translates as an energetic hole in the aura, a leak, right?/ this is it? like when you are being desperate about something...

but when we can live with or without it, if we are genuinely willing to live without it, it repairs the hole and fills you with energy

how about the dynamics of wish making and law of attraction? because you do need to want something very much, from your heart, to trigger wish fulfillment

could it be also being open to be equally happy without that wish?

Littlecloud,
Thank you so much for your kindness.
The transition is to the other side, so it makes complete sense that the new place will have all she needs.

Oh man, I had a feeling that's what you meant but I wasn't sure and thought maybe traveling to a different country for better health. Which if done I think could also be helpful.

In that case the last 3 cards could mean helping her to get her affairs in order and the moon could indicate that uncertainty at some level. But it also looks peaceful and maybe correlates to night time.

Watching my mother having to watch her mother on her way to the other side these past few years hasn't been easy and I can only imagine what it be up close and personal. I wish strength and peace to the both of you.

Enneline, just wanted to ask this: so according to your practice, if we need or want something badly, this translates as an energetic hole in the aura, a leak, right?/ this is it? like when you are being desperate about something...
-> yes. They say if you desire, being desperate about something, it is almost always a sign of a hole/leak/lack in your aura. This hole makes you desperate. You want that hole to be filled and so you desire something you believe it would fill your hole. Like a man comes back to you or that you be successfull, etc..
For example: a girl wants a man to come back to her or to date her at all. She believes that he is the one and wants to be loved. but actually she has the issue that she never feels loved (probably based on childhood traumata) and so she chooses a man who definitely doesn't love her but she believes if he does love her one day, her hole will be filled.
Basically, this is possible in theory but never in practice.
Or someone wants to be successful because he wants to prove himself that he is worth a lot. He probably was never praised when growing up and so there is a leak in his aura. I bet if he becomes successfull, it would repair his hole just a little. He would still remember painfully that he was never praised as a child.


but when we can live with or without it, if we are genuinely willing to live without it, it repairs the hole and fills you with energy
-> yes if you decide not to give in your holes, if you realize that your wish is based on a lack/leak/hole, it is very likely that your hole doesn't bother you anymore, it is likey that it will be fullfilled.


how about the dynamics of wish making and law of attraction? because you do need to want something very much, from your heart, to trigger wish fulfillment
-> basically in the aura method: your wishes = holes. (it was frustrating to hear this for the first time. I thought they steal my wishes )
But this is not the case if your wish comes from the heart. A wish from the heart is no hole. But I'll tell you right now: anyone with a wish based on a hole, will tell you that his wish comes from the heart
I spent a huge amount to check if my wish to...you know what i mean , is based on a hole and after i was sure that my wish is based on my heart, i did continue

could it be also being open to be equally happy without that wish? -> absolutely. your holes/leaks wouldn't rule your actions any longer. Wouldn't this be wonderful?

Very interesting Thank you, Enneline

It means we have to analyze and choose our wishes carefully the ones we want to invest in; and track where they come from and why we have them.

Yes, thank you!!!

I've recognized this within myself and often question the things I want and why I want them. Not necessarily as a leak in the aura but just through analysis of myself. Sometimes I teeter totter between being able to be happy if this wish is fulfilled. Like I know in the long run I will be ok, but it still sucks to have it unfulfilled. It's a disappointment.

Yes, we should consider what wishes are based on leaks and what come from the heart.

In my experience as well in the experience of far more experienced aura practioners, like 98% percent of all wishes are based on leaks/holes/lacks, especially when it comes to love (esp involving a certain person) and general success (instead of checking what profession your heart wants). The heart doesn't need much to be happy.

And it wouldn't work resp your hole/leak will not disappear if you achieve your goal (like getting the man you want or getting success) because after that you would still feel unhappy. The girl who got the man will first be over the moon for quite some time but then she will start complaining some time after she got him; she will tell you "he needs to stop smoking, he needs to pay more attention, he needs to get this job, he needs to make me pregnant..." and if you tell her "ah, he can do whatever he wants, it will never be enough for you" she would reply "no, really not. I just want him to impregnant me because i love him."
It doesn't even matter if she is an aura practioner herself and/or if she fully understands the concept: she would always claim that her case is totally different. She loves that man and he just needs to impregnant her. But i bet: he could quit smoking, get a promotion and impregnant her with twins: she still would not be satisfied.
I saw and experienced those cases.

A hole/leak is a hole/leak and no person but you would be able to fill it (except during an aura session )

And do you know the tragedy? The girl who fought for the man and who got him, will be abandoned by him the sooner or later. no person on earth wants to put up with that in the long run. Who wants to fill holes/leaks of others?

But as a third person you can't do anything but watch and offer an aura healing session. No discussion would help. The girl would claim that she needs that man and that a relationship with him would solve her biggest pain. Or she would tell her that she deeply loves him and that there are some obstacles only.


But this happens not only in matters of love: One of my former colleagues had a leak regarding recognizition. She was never satisfied no matter how much she has been praised.
Once our boss praised her but did not send her a personalized birthday wish. Of course she got upset by this lack of recognizition. Then our boss sent her a personalized birthday wish but this was not enough. He should have given her a present. For Christmans he gave her a 200 Dollar wine bottle. But this wasn't enough either. He was a multi-millionaire, so a 200 Dollar wine was not appropriate.
I told her, that his actions are a sign that he really appreciates her but of course this was not enough. She said "i just want recognition, what is so hard to understand it?" but it didn't matter how much attention and how many presents he gave her: it was never enough and she would always have an intellectual answer ready.

Sure Littlecloud, is it the wish about cy? I'll BRB with the spread. BTW I do Leno if that's ok.
Ok upon shuffling the mice fell out so I see you being very anxious/worried/distraught about this guy?
1. What are the chances: mountain-child-stork
Pulled roads on mountain
Well I think this is a maybe. The child and stork look positive for new beginnings and positive changes but with the mountsin and roads in the beginning it's shows some delays/obstacles here. So this really looks like a 50/50 chance.
2. Magical power to use: house
Do you already know this guy pretty well? House says to focus on what's familiar and comfortable with him first, whether that's having something in common etc. Build the foundation first.
3. What should you do: stars-child-key-mountain-roads
Success of a new beginning with this guy (your dream come true) can be yours. There will be a couple opportunities in the future but it will take time. Stay the course, the Mountsin tells me it could be a ways off but it is possible. Hope this helps!

Enn, Ceri, do you want to exchange with me? I have 2 wishes to check:
meeting my favorite actor aka Apollo
putting my ideas for short story series about psychics into use (which is not as easy as it sounds)
If you're up for it, you can choose just one but divide it so that both my requests are covered, ok? And use the tarot please.
To be honest, I know very well what I have to do to make these things happen but I'm curious what cards you'd pull

little coffee break

Ok, since I mentioned this, it's my pleasure to present one of the world's greatest artists, if any of you is interested in this.

Gerhard Richter's Abstraktes Bild sells for £30.4m at Sotheby's, making him the most valuable living European artist. Gerhard Richter, the German painter, has become the most valuable living artist in Europe after his abstract work sold for £30.4 million at auction.Feb 11, 2015


Gerhard Richter, the world-famous German painter, has expressed his incredulity at the astronomical sums paid for his works, calling the art market “hopelessly excessive” and saying that prices are rarely a reflection on quality.

Richter, 83, told the German daily Die Zeit he had watched the outcome of a recent auction at Sotheby’s in London with horror after an anonymous buyer paid £30.4m (€41m, $46.5m) for his 1986 oil-on-canvas, Abstraktes Bild.

We artists get next to nothing from such an auction. Except for a small morsel, all the profit goes to the seller
Gerhard Richter

“The records keep being broken and every time my initial reaction is one of horror even if it’s actually welcome news. But there is something really shocking about the amount,” Richter said.

He said he believed people who paid so much money for his paintings were foolish and foresaw that prices for his art would crash “when the art market corrects itself”, as he was convinced it would.

Seen as the leader of the New European Painting movement which emerged in the second half of the 20th century, Richter made a name for himself with “photo-paintings” that replicate photographs and are then “blurred” with a squeegee or a brush.

The price paid for Abstraktes Bild amounted to a staggering 5,000-fold increase on the price he had originally sold it for, he said.

He told the weekly newspaper that he understood as much about the art market as he did “about Chinese or physics”, and said contrary to a common perception he hardly benefited at all from such sales.

“We artists get next to nothing from such an auction. Except for a small morsel, all the profit goes to the seller,” he said.


Richter said he was given the impression by gallery owners that he was inclined to undervalue his own work. Recently, having set the price of one of his photographs at €2,000, he said he was told by a gallery owner: “You can’t sell that for €2,000, it needs to be more like €10,000 or €20,000.”

He was relieved, he said, that he did not have much to do with the buying and selling process. “Luckily I can … shut my studio door on most of the discussion about the market and prices. I’m good at suppressing it,” he added.

He said that while it had been years since he had seen Abstraktes Bild – created by his trademark technique of building up paint and then pulling it away with a piece of wood – he remembered it being a “quite good” piece of art, in contrast to his painting Domplatz, Mailand (Cathedral Square, Milan) which last year fetched €29m at auction.

“I found that odd,” he said. “I don’t think the picture is that great … when I heard what it had gone for at auction, I thought ‘that’s completely over the top’.”

Richter, who was born in Dresden, said he was nonplussed as to how and why auctions had become so important. “It is really quite alarming, particularly when you take a look at the catalogues. They always send them to me and they get worse and worse. You cannot imagine what rubbish is offered, at prices that are rising all the time,” he said. He said that both “serious galleries” and young artists were suffering as a result.

“Many of the young artists go straight to auctions in order to earn the big bucks. So in contrast to the past artists cannot develop slowly. And the business is getting more anonymous. In the end it just comes down to the price.”

Richter fondly recalled the memory of selling Abstraktes Bild almost 30 years ago to a Cologne collector “for I think around 15,000 marks” (around €7,670). “I was very proud that it became part of his collection.”

No one who had bought his works in recent years, he said, had ever contacted him to show an interest in him or his work, implying that they were only interested in the work’s investment value. He confirmed that often his works were among those bought as safe, tax-free capital investments and stored in art bunkers in east Asia or Switzerland.

Richter said he had resigned himself to the fact that “hardly any one talks about art any more. Even in the arts pages of the broadsheets”.

He said he was virtually powerless to alter the prices of his works. Attempting to torpedo the high prices by offering new works at lower prices only backfired, he said. “I made 100 small original paintings and sold them very cheaply. They sold immediately and promptly ended up being sold at auction … you cannot escape the market.”

Richter said that an original work of art had barely any meaning for him and he had many reproductions hanging in his studio.

He praised an initiative offered at Tate Modern in London where he had an exhibition in 2011, in which his works were run off on a printer. “I found it terrific … they had an online printer that printed off loads of my pictures so that everyone could take one home with them.”

He admitted he never buys art himself. “I don’t spend money on art,” he said. “I like looking at paintings, but I go to a museum to do so. I don’t have to own art myself.”

The painting is very pretty but people went nuts with that price. Good that at least the author is reasonable.

Hey Leeloo, are you up for exchanging a wish spread with me? My wish is for something to develop between me and "gym guy."
Can I answer something for you?

Sorry Tgem I don't have the cards with me today

I see what you mean, AA, however this happens because artworks always become more valuable with time (unless they are fake ).
Even a painted piece of junk you find in your garden, such as a painted plate for instance, dating 50 years back, will be much more valuable than its initial price/value. Which makes art investments the most solid long-term investments (for the next generations), even if the prices drop on the way.

I know. I could understand if it was a Reneissance painting or something. And I could definitely understand if we dealt with an ancient piece of art here. I think in this case this is way too much.
