Thank you for your insight Voix.

I have another question regarding this deep reading Libentia gave me.
What is your interpretation of moon and tower?
Others are welcome as well... I really want to learn.

This is a branch of acupuncture not commonly practised but very effective.
------------------------------------

The Hermit, King of Pentacles, Page of Pentacles, The Chariot, The Moon, The Tower, Queen of Pentacles, King of Wands, Ace of Pentacles

I don't think you should pursue a deeper study into this, at least not right now, maybe sometime in the near future. The Hermit indicates a period of isolation and thought. Really think about this, is this what you really want? Take time to look over your past decisions and choices, have they been rash based off of the way you view them? Through rose colored glasses, in a sense. King of Pentacles is showing that if and when you do choose to pursue this, you have to be committed, you won't get very far at all if you half-ass it. It's also showing that you may be short-sighted regarding this and are not really thinking about the hardships this career path may bring. Think about it a bit more, is what I'm getting from Hermit and KoP. Page of Pentacles shows that you're hardworking and you do dedicate yourself to whatever it is you're interested in at the time, so I suppose you won't have to worry about the half-assing, so disregard that. It also shows that you'll be beginning education, possibly during the winter. Onto the next line, Chariot, Moon, Tower. Chariot shows self-discipline leading to success, but also pressure. Are you facing pressure from friends, family and colleagues to quickly choose a career path? Moon depicts illusion, there are the rose colored glasses from before, like you said this branch isn't commonly practised, but you may be disillusioned by the helpful benefits and effects it brings. I'm having trouble reading tower, so I'm going to say that it's telling you to be careful and be wary as to avoid any accidents or traumatic experiences. Queen fo Pentacles and King of Wands in regards to your teachers, both are great, I think it's saying, so whoever you choose will take you down the same path regardless. The female teacher is like a mom to her students, she's nice, generous, and nuturing. The male teacher is ambitious and passionate and a natural born leader. Both only want the best for their students and apprentices. Ace of Pentacles as outcome, success in your new ventures, but avoid poor planning. Remember to thorougly think things through, you may want to do some research before you decide to fully dedicate yourself to the pursuit of this branch of acupuncture.

Rheanna,

I don't think it would be helpful for us to isolate a couple of cards from a wider reading. I'm not sure about other readers, but I try to view the reading as a whole entity. Individual cards are so rich in symbolism that they can indicate several things, the cards around the individual cards will gives clues as to how we should read them.

If you have questions around a reading received, or the interpretation thereof, it may be best to cast a fresh reading to address the question or areas you are not convinced of.

Why not do this here, share your interpretation, and we can discuss from there?

I would recommend doing a 3-card reading to begin with, and give the cards clear positions in reference to the question. This tends to help with uncertainty.

It is a very wise suggestion Voix. I did not realise then of the hidden 'danger' of my request. Will do as you suggested in time. Mind occupied with something else now.

I agree with Voix - would have to cast a fresh reading to make more sense of the situation.

Great idea!!!

Here are some questions I've often wondered:

The numbers and suits on the tarot cards in relation to astrology (symbolically) as a tool to interpretation, i.e.:

Swords (air signs)
Two of Swords (Taurus or 2nd house and Gemini, Libra or Aquarius)

With the above, can the cards be read like astrology?

Also, sometimes I find that even though someone has asked a good question, the cards seem to have a mind of their own and the answer given tends to highlight something else. I'm thinking it points to something the person still needs to deal with or move past before what they are asking about can move forward. Is that true? It seems to happen when the person asks the same questions over and over to different readers in hopes that one of the readers will give them the answer they want (this is what I think is happening).

When I struggle with a reading, sometimes I find out afterwards that the person is still working on the last relationship they asked about earlier. Not sure if this makes sense, but people sometimes seem to say they have moved on from a past relationship, but in reality they have not. What is "enough" information needed to give a card reading or how specific should a question be?

How do you know when you've drawn enough cards for a person's question? I remember having a reading once (in person) and the reader kept drawing cards (like a story) and little by little they answered the questions I had. Is this more like being a psychic with a prop or really just a good card reading?

Thank you,
Spring

springtimeflower,

to your question about reading the cards like astrology, i think it would be hard. in your example with the 2 of swords being similar to 2nd house Gemini, Libra or Aquarius, i think it's definitely correct to correlate the elements in astrology (air, earth, water, fire) but everything else would be hard. 2 of swords represents air energy but the tarot cards have specific situations and scenarios attached to them that are unique from astrology.

but who knows
im a tarot beginner but im more well versed in astrology.

I asked a question about a coworker/love interest. lets call them X.

the spread is called the "mirror spread"

for the position "how X views themselves" i pulled The Empress Reversed

for the position "what I represent to X" i pulled 6 of Swords Reversed and Page of Cups Reversed

I'm thinking The Empress Reversed mean that they may be feeling insecure about not being financially stable, and since I am an older female, they don't feel confident. and possibly feeling insecure overall with themselves. but i'm not well versed on the meaning of The Empress Reversed.

the 6 of Swords Reversed probably means he can't stop thinking about me or our situation but the Page of Cups Reversed kinda confused me...i see Page of Cups as possibly an unrequited love. except he hasn't made any official move to take this to the next step. so I've never 'rejected' him for there to be any true feelings of rejection.

any other input would be greatly appreciated.
