General reading for Kyla D

The Tower - The Tower speaks of a situation that has been building for some time... Usually it reaches crisis point because you (or both parties) keep trying to deal with it in the same way. Without approaching the situation from a different angle or a different viewpoint, you are never going to solve it. With the suits that are prevalent in this spread - cups and pentacles - this is obviously to do with love and/or money. Basically The Tower is saying you need to rethink your attitude and your viewpoint on this issue, because otherwise this is going to be a reoccurring issue. Perhaps some of the other cards will shed some more light on what needs changing...

Six of Pentacles - This card shows that money is being shared. Actually, considering the circumstances and your question, I wouldn't be surprised if this card relates to the sharing of expenses, etc. This can be a good card, about knowing that others are happy to help out, and feeling good when you are in a position to help others too. Often though people have difficulty accepting generosity from others and given the Tower card we had previously, I wonder if this is the case. Perhaps you have had difficulties previously when it comes to sharing expenses? You need to be aware of how you approach any issues and try to consciously stop yourself from reacting out of habit...

Knight of Pentacles - The Knight of Pentacles is not an exciting card - on the one hand there are no nasty dramas, but on the other, life can be fairly boring. It's just regular day-to-day life... I guess it depends what you're looking for. If you're looking for stability, this card is perfect. If you're looking for a bit of adventure...nope.

Five of Cups - It won't be completely without its share of drama though, unfortunately... This card says that there will be an issue that arises where one of you feels betrayed by the other. This may not mean infidelity, so don't jump to any conclusions. Sometimes it is as simple as miscommunication or an honest mistake that inadvertently hurts those involved. Again, that Tower card we saw originally is a warning to step back and think carefully before reacting. Did they mean to hurt you? How would you normally react and why? Are you over-reacting? I'm not saying you have a tendency to over-react! The cards are just prompting you to be wary of reacting the same way to situations that might seem similar on the surface but underneath are quite different.

Temperance - The key to all of it is communication. Open, honest communication between the two of you. If you can keep that going the whole time, you'll be okay. With an equal, open flow of both information and emotion between you, you'll get past any issues that arise. And let's face it, what relationship doesn't have issues? They all do. We're human, we make mistakes. There is not a relationship in the world that doesn't have issues at one stage or another. So when you and your partner do have something to deal with, talk to each other. Temperance is all about keeping the channels between you open - both communication and emotion. Let each other know how you feel and what you think. Don't hide anything from each other.

Four of Wands - The Four of Wands is about seeing the results of your hard work and efforts. Given the previous few cards, I feel this is a good indication that if you can do these things and treat every situation as unique and most of all, keep that communication going, things will go well for you.

Seven of Cups - This card speaks of potential. There is a lot of potential in this relationship, but it won't come to reality on its own. You will both have to work hard to keep the relationship successful, but if you can do it, it will definitely be worth it.

Ace of Cups - Another similar card, showing that you have a lot of love to give, and you are so ready to settle down and embark on a long-term, permanent relationship. Yes, this can be that relationship. Just don't be too idealistic about it - if you expect and understand the lows as well as the highs, you can make this relationship the one you're wanting.

The Emperor - This is a great card for setting up home and family. The Emperor feels most comfortable when he's settled in a permanent place and not changing all the time. He doesn't do temporary well. Just be wary of being too strict with rules - The Emperor can be a little too rigid sometimes and needs to learn to be a little flexible. He's not good with confrontation either, and tends to be quite stubborn about seeing and doing things his way. Take the good from this card - feeling comfortable with the permanence of being settled down - and learn from the bad - the need to be flexible and able to compromise.

Ace of Swords - Life isn't just going to be a smooth easy road with this person. You see certain things differently and are going to disagree sometimes. But listen to each other, learn from each other and you might find that you both go away from the discussions with a slightly different way of looking at things. The Ace of Swords doesn't say that 'You're wrong, he's right!' It's not like that. It's about both of you bringing together your different viewpoints, clashing (well, that's inevitable) and both of you leaving with a new perspective on the issue.

Conclusion:- I wish I could say it was all sunshine and roses! Unfortunately it's not, and hey, there's no such thing as a perfect relationship. It sounds like this could be a learning curve for both of you. For you in particular, you need to be careful of judging a situation by what you can see on the surface. The cards definitely warn you to talk to him, think carefully and then deal with the issue using all the information you have. You will conflict on different issues, if only because you have different ways of looking at things. The cards do hold promise though, that this could be a great, long-term relationship with real potential, if you can both learn to communicate and get through those trying times we all (unfortunately!) have to deal with sometimes.
Good luck! I really hope things go well for you and your little girl. :)

What Do I Do Next? Spread for Brenda C

--------------8-------------
------------7---9-----------
-----------5-----6----------
--------------4--------------
--------------3--------------
--------------2-------------
--------------1-------------

1. A snapshot of what is happening now - King of Wands – There is change in your immediate environment and in your life. This is either very recent or just ahead of you. The King of Wands tells you that this is not happening by chance, this is an opportunity to reach a greater potential – you can do better.

2. How you feel about the future – The Hanged Man – A sacrifice is necessary to move forwards. You see that the only realistic step left is to give up the security (and friends?) that you currently have, and take a leap of faith in the hope that something better will come your way.

3. The direction you need to go in - Ten of Pentacles – This card says that financial security is your top priority. There are also no Cups cards in this spread which makes the additional statement that this is not to be an emotional decision, but a practical one. You can’t afford to follow your heart – make a financial decision and make sure you are secure and stable at every point along the way.

4. Obstacles you might encounter – Ace of Pentacles – This card as an obstacles indicates that there are may be a lack of opportunities available and a lack of energy perhaps to go hunting them down. This may be what has you so stymied – if there was a clear abundance of choices, this wouldn’t even be an issue, would it? But because you are going to have to make a choice of ‘the lesser of two evils’ (without trying to be negative here!) this is certainly an obstacle. You are also tied down by the need to make finances your top priority as in the last card.

5. Who you should accept advice from - Ace of Swords – Oh, I see conflict between you two! This person tells the truth, straight up, no beating around the bush. And you might not always want to hear it, hence the conflict. This person looks at the situation with a clear unbiased perspective, even those times you may prefer a little bias your way! You should take their advice in this instance, especially as keeping emotion out of it may be difficult for you.

6. Who you should not accept advice from – The Emperor – This is a strong person who is speaking from a position of authority above you. You may find them condescending or oppressive. The Emperor can be a great leader, but sometimes this personality type can get a little carried away with their power. Definitely a strong personality. This person won’t tend to make suggestions, but rather ‘lay down rules’ and expect that when they say ‘jump’, you ask ‘how high?’ Don’t follow their ‘rules’ in this instance. You will get much better advice from your Ace of Swords. At least from the Ace of Swords you know that there is no bias.

7, 8 & 9. A general assessment of what you should do – Page of Wands, Four of Wands & Temperance – The Page of Wands is an indication that there is more happening that what is visible on the surface. See if you can talk to other people involved and find out any more information. Keep your ‘ear to the ground’ – gossip is in your favour in this instance, as you want to know what is happening that you are not being told.
The Four of Wands is about getting approval and appreciation for your work and your efforts. In this case, this is obviously not happening so this is something you should be looking for. While this spread has clearly stated that this is not an emotional issue, everyone needs to know that their efforts are appreciated. Whether you are able to pursue this in the current environment or whether you need to look further afield for this, I can’t say, but it is clear that this is important. The same goes for communication, which is the message from Temperance. You need clear, open, honest communication from both parties…and you are not currently getting that.

Conclusion:- Okay, let’s recap. There are a few major points to this spread.
1. Finances need to be your top priority. You need job security, and you can’t afford to take a significant pay reduction.
2. This is not to be an emotional decision. That’s not to say it won’t be upsetting or aggravating, or anything of that nature, because I’m sure it will. But you need to make your actions and decisions based on cold hard facts, not emotions.
3. There is a lot more going on than what you are seeing. No, I can’t say whether you are being deliberately lied to or mislead, but it is possible, especially with the Page of Wands in the spread. More importantly, there is important information which you just don’t have. It is hard to say though whether you can access that information or not. There is a suggestion in the spread that by talking to the right people you can uncover some more about the situation, but whether you will ever get the full details, I am unsure. Definitely something to be aware of though.
You can clearly see who you should be taking advice from, and from our discussion, I think it is equally clear who you should not be taking advice from. Times like these certainly separate friends from foes, don’t they?!
You clearly need communication, appreciation and job security. The question now is, how do you go about getting those? And that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?

What Do I Do Next? spread for Lynette D

--------------8-------------
------------7---9-----------
-----------5-----6----------

--------------1-------------

1. A snapshot of what is happening now: The Empress - The Empress is a card of fruitfulness, of growth and harvest. However, she has difficulty dealing with change and loss, and would like life to continue smoothly on with no big surprises. She tells us that you are happy enough at the moment, and while life could maybe be better, it could also be much worse and you’re not sure you’re ready to cope with that.

2. How you feel about the future: Queen of Swords - This card shows that you can be a bit of a perfectionist at times – you want to do it right, or not at all. You might be feeling like everything is being taken out of your control and that it will be difficult for you to have as much impact on the final results as you would like. Will it reach your expectations? And what can you do to ensure that it does? Those are the questions you are asking yourself about the near future.

3. The direction you need to go in: Page of Cups - The Page of Cups is a great ‘new beginning’ card. Look in a new direction. Start small, start right and then build on that success. Cups are the emotional suit in Tarot and this is a very pleasant card. This is a time when new friendships and relationships (personal or business) would work well for you.

4. Obstacles you might encounter: Nine of Swords - Your own doubts and worries will be your biggest obstacle to overcome. That fear of failure, fear of not living up to your own expectations…that will be the hardest thing for you to overcome. There is no one standing in your way except for you.

5. Who you should accept advice from: The Chariot - The Chariot speaks of someone who has experience and success, but who has travelled a long, hard road to get there. No easy road for this guy. He is strong, competitive and what I would call ‘rough and tumble’. He’s not your stereotypical suave businessman, he’s a down-to-earth type who has fought his way from the bottom up. Listen to his advice.

6. Who you should not accept advice from: Five of Swords - This person isn’t really the sort of person to dirty their hands. They want all the glory for none of the hard work. I could easily see this person as a whiner or complainer. Why do I have to do that? Surely there’s an easier way? Aren’t there machines that can do that? Why can’t we pay someone to do that? Perhaps this could also be someone who is all theory, no practice. You definitely want to avoid this person and look for someone with real experience, real dirt under their fingernails.

7, 8 & 9. A general assessment of what you should do: Five of Pentacles, Ten of Pentacles & Ace of Pentacles - These cards all have something in common – money. The Pentacles are the financial suit. The Five of Pentacles is another card showing your fear of failure and of financial loss. That is your biggest worry at the moment and it is coming through quite clearly in this spread. To ease your mind, however, the Ten of Pentacles signifies financial security and the establishment of something permanent and tangible. It is a great financial card, speaking not just of material success, but of solid financial security for your family. The Ace of Pentacles talks of a new project that will bring money to you and shows that there is energy and resources available now for this new project, so this is a good time for starting something new.

We also pulled an additional card to see if it could help bring those last three cards together a bit more…
Ace of Wands - Another Ace, this one shows that you are dissatisfied with your current situation and are ready to push the boundaries. You are ready to try something new, something you haven’t done before. Challenge yourself. As with all Aces, this one brings energy to this new project. Go for it.

Conclusion:- The time is right, the resources are available, but your fear of failure and finishing with less than what you started with is holding you back. Take advice from someone who has been there, done that, then dive in head first!
Ask yourself this question: will you regret giving it a shot, or will you more regret if you don’t at least try?

Knights at the Round Table spread for Madeline G.

It looked roughly like this. I found it hard to do a circle with seven people in it, but this is roughly what it looked like:

--------------------1---------------------
-------------------------------2----------
--------7---------------------------------
--------------------------------------3---
-----------6------------------------------
--------------------------------4---------
---------------------5--------------------

Each card represents a person.
I’ve sent this to you separately identifying the individuals we expected to see, but I’ll refer to them here as B1, B2, E1, F1, W1, W2, and Y1 so that others reading this don’t know names.

The cards were dealt around the table with no conscious thought as to who would sit where. The places they ‘chose to sit’ told us something of their feelings towards. Remember too that we may have ended up with some people other than who we were expecting to see.

So there is one card representing each person, and then after those cards had been read, I dealt another card for each person at the table, in a random order. Those cards should help us shed some more light on their relationship/feelings towards you.

Here goes.

#1 – The Tower – Troubled times that had to end. Unfortunately this relationship was based in lust, not love. On one side, at least. The relationship wasn’t good for you - you were trying to be someone you’re not, trying to hide your ‘shameful secrets’. There is a hero out there somewhere for you, but this person wasn’t it. This person wanted you…but wanted you to change to fit their idea of what was acceptable.
This sounds like B1 or B2. It could also be Y1 though, particularly with that fear of being yourself, of showing the ‘real you’. If this is Y1, you need to look at the message of The Tower, with it telling you strongly that this situation has to end, even if it ends messily.

#2 – Six of Swords - Understanding and acceptance. I believe this is F1 or perhaps a friend we didn’t expect to see. There are no negative connotations in this card – just support and acceptance. It could be B1, but I believe the feeling from the card is too simple. I strongly think F1.

#3 - Ace of Cups - My instinct is to say that this is Y1. Complicated, feminine, passionate and strong. In many ways, too strong for her own good – she can scare people away. There are a lot of emotions bubbling under the surface that most people never get to see. She hides under her shell or her disguise, because she’s afraid of being hurt, but she wants a relationship, friendship and love.

#4 - Knight of Pentacles - I actually wondered if this was someone we weren’t expecting to see… He is a fairly ordinary, everyday kind of guy. He’s not your hero, but a friend. Maybe a lover? There are no strong emotions here, so I didn’t think it was B1 or B2. Well, it might be B2, you’ll have to let me know what you think.

#5 - Ace of Swords - A strong woman, but can be quite judgemental. Do things her way, or not at all. She is not what I picture as a warm, loving type – she holds people at a distance and doesn’t cope very well with soppy emotional scenes.
She has set ideas on things and if you cross her you’ll get some hard truths thrown at you. She won’t soften her words for you.
She doesn’t hate you. I really don’t think she does. She just wants you to do things the way she wants, and she won’t change her views. I felt that this was W1.

#6 - Page of Wands - This person isn’t comfortable with the situation. She feels like she has been pulled in over her head. She plays the messenger? I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s the ‘So-and-so said this about you....’ type. She puts herself in the line of fire without meaning to. She isn’t a bad person, but is surrounded by negativity and narrow-mindedness and this is influencing her. I’m sure this is W2. You see her as immature.

#7 - Five of Wands - Ha ha ha! Sorry, I shouldn’t laugh, but the image of a dragon on the card is so apt. You see this person as a dragon that you have to slay. This person doesn’t believe you can be anything – she sees you as almost lower class – like you’re not worth her time. This attitude comes from her own inability to achieve success – she’s trying to make herself feel better by pulling you down. You have a friend somewhere you can help you believe in yourself – without that friend, you’ll find it hard to overcome the negativity you get from this person. She depresses you. Beat her with facts. Not emotion, not determination, just cold hard facts. I feel this is E1.

Looking again at the seating arrangements then…

--------------------B1----------------------
-------------------------------F1-----------
--------E1----------------------------------
--------------------------------------Y1----
-----------W2------------------------------
--------------------------------B2----------
---------------------W1--------------------

It seems to me like you have F1 and B2 on either side of Y1, giving Y1 their support. E1 and W2 are sitting opposite Y1 in a stand against her, but I’m not certain that W2 really wants to be there. In honesty, I feel like she’s been outwitted – everyone else chose their seats and she was left to sit there. She’s very wary of going toe-to-toe with Y1 and would feel more comfortable off to the side. On the other hand, E1 is quite happy to go toe-to-toe with Y1 – she’s not hiding her aggression at all.
W1 and B1 have both chosen strategic positions, one on either side. They are both very clever, manipulative people. Neither are showing their true feelings, they’re both ‘playing the game’. They are neither for nor against…but don’t misunderstand that. It’s not that they are indifferent, or minor players, just that they refuse to reveal what they really think and where their loyalties lie. Don’t trust or depend on either of them.

Okay, so with that in mind, let’s see what the further cards reveal for each person.

B1 - The Lovers - Look carefully at your choices and your reasons for making them. Also look carefully at your feelings. What is it about him that you love? What is it about him that you hate? How do you really feel about him? How has he behaved towards you and vice versa? It is time for you to view him without the rose tinted glasses on.
This cards also warns of consequences to any actions/decisions you may make. Together, The Tower and The Lovers tell a tale of an ill-fated romance – bad choices, disastrous consequences, but it was necessary to allow you to be free to move on.

F1 – Nine of Cups - You may have had issues with her in the past, but you’ve moved past that now. She may not understand all your decisions and you may argue sometimes, but she loves you and she just wants you to be happy.

Y1 - Four of Pentacles - The Four of Pentacles speaks of a fear of failure, a fear of losing what little is left. But without taking the risk, there is no way to move forward. This person needs to take a leap of faith and just hope for the best, basically. Because otherwise things will just keep stagnating and issues like this will keep arising.

B2 - King of Pentacles - He’s not really the sensitive emotional type. I think that is why we don’t sense any strong emotions from him. He’s quite happy to be your friend or your lover, but he’s not committed. If disaster strikes, he’s out of there. He likes his creature comforts and if those are not forthcoming, he won’t hang around. I hesitate to say he’s using you, but I do think there is an element of that to it. You might as well use him in return for whatever he gives you – friendship, company, whatever. But don’t depend on him or give him your heart because ultimately he’ll disappoint you.

W1 - Two of Wands - I feel that this card is telling you to start over. And I don’t think it means that in a relationship sense. I don’t think you can start this relationship over, as such, but focus on something else for a while. The Two of Wands is a great card for study or a new project, or a new beginning. Start over. Try something new. And you may find you win her approval without even wanting to – while you’re out doing something for you, something that has nothing to do with her… I don’t know if you’ll ever be able to fit her idea of what you should be like, and I don’t know that you should try. But if you can try to remove yourself from focusing on your failures and just refocus on a new project, this situation may sort itself out all on its own.

W2 – The Emperor – This is an interesting card for this person. She needs to cut the apron strings and move out in to the big wide world on her own. She needs to learn to make her own opinions and trust in them. She wants to achieve something and be someone, and I feel that this may be because she has is also connected to W1 and those tough expectations. The Emperor is usually a card about the figure of authority – being in charge of his own family, his own business, with a solid knowledge of himself and who he is and where he’s come from. And I think that is where W2 really wants to be – mature and strong and capable and successful. And quite possibly, where you want to be too. Because you both feel like you’re treated like children, even by each other. I do wonder if this relationship just needs you both to take a step back and start over. Treat each other as adults, because that’s how you both want to be treated but neither of you are prepared to take the first step.

E1 - Four of Wands - You can achieve something, you can be somebody, you can do it. But you will never hear it from her. This card is a real card of encouragement – YOU CAN DO IT! Don’t look to her for approval – just believe in yourself that you can do it, and go out there and give it a shot. Stop worrying about what people might think or say. Do it for you.

This is a really interesting spread.
Some points to conclude with:
F1 is possibly the only person at the table you can really trust.
Y1, B1 and W1 are all hiding their ‘real selves’ under a disguise of sorts. You can’t trust any of them at face value.
You just need to let go of any connection to E1. There is no value to that relationship. Move onwards and upwards. Don’t believe a word she says, especially when it is said just to belittle you.
W2 – the relationship is definitely salvageable, but it’ll be tough for either of you to take the first step. If W1 wasn’t influencing the relationship, things would be a lot smoother. Is there anyway to spend some time together without that influence? Maybe it’ll take a long time, but there is definitely potential for things to recover.
B2 – I wouldn’t say this is the most valuable relationship you’ve got. But if you understand where both parties stand, you can definitely maintain the friendship that is there. Don’t trust him, don’t depend on him, but I don’t sense anything malicious or mean about him. Just accept the companionship he can give you, if you need it, and let it just be that simple. Don’t make it in to more than it can be.
Overall, it is definitely time for you to take a good long look at some of the people in your life and try to view them all without bias – good or bad. Actions speak louder than words. Ignore what people are saying, and what are you left with? Which people really truly stand by you when you need them most and which just tell you what you want to hear? Which ones spit and growl at you, but when push comes to shove they’re there for you?

I hope that has helped in some small way to shed light on a few things. If I can be of any more help, please let me know.

I Love Them All spread for Brenda C

The child in you: Nine of Swords – Children are allowed to be afraid. They can be afraid of monsters under the bed, of meeting new people, of change, of uncertainty… We accept this fear in children, yet we expect adults to be brave and unafraid all the time. It’s not acceptable for adults to be afraid. Or so society would have us believe. This card tells you that it IS okay to be afraid. Just as you would love and protect a child, accepting their fears as natural and helping them to deal with the things that scare them, so you should accept your own fears and anxieties as natural and take the steps you need to take to deal with them. It is natural, it is normal and it is acceptable. This is the child in you.

The angel in you: The Chariot – This is a fascinating card. It is about strength, courage and control and about harnessing emotions. In regards to angels, it reminds me of stories of the strong, powerful archangels. However, there is a definite message from this card that by harnessing this strength and taking control, you bring about harmony. I believe this is true for both your own emotions and the effect you bring on others. You are a mediator and by bringing control to over-wrought situations, you bring harmony. Learn to appreciate this side of yourself, as others do, and I hope the harmony will become more tangible to you.

The devil in you: The Moon – Ah, the ‘dark’ side of the force! He he… You are in to magic, superstition and fate. Unfortunately this can make you feel out of control, like you are fighting against unseen forces or your own destiny and that the struggle to take control is futile. This is the devil in you, because it brings about the fear and anxiety you are struggling with. You need to accept and understand this side of you so that you can take control and feel more at ease with the changes and challenges that come your way.

The nameless person in you: The Emperor – Aw, this is the Brenda we all know and love. Funny that this comes up under ‘the nameless person in you’. Maybe it’s that we see these qualities in you, but you don’t see them. You are protective and loyal, loving but with a heck of a temper if you get riled up, especially in defence of a loved one or those who are unable to defend themselves. You want to be remembered, you want to leave your mark on the world. You are passionate and dedicated, and you value friendship very highly.

The feminine person in you: Four of Wands – You have a lot of support, and work well in a team. You are social and fun to be with. You enjoy celebrating and sharing in others’ hopes and joys.

The masculine person in you: Three of Wands – You are creative, and good at planning and preparation. You are good at laying the foundations but not so great at the follow-through and finishing what you start. Learn to appreciate the skills you have, such as the creative side of yourself, the skills at planning and preparation, and acknowledge and work on the ones you struggle with, such as follow-through. Very few projects come to completion on the back of just one person – there are the ‘ideas’ people, the ‘planners’, the ‘behind the scenes workers’ and those that can take control or be ‘front of stage’. Recognise that none of us are perfect and we all have strengths and weaknesses, and those strengths and weaknesses help us play our particular roles.

The special person in you: The Hanged Man – You are the ‘Pay It Forward’ type – you think of everyone else before yourself and are willing to make sacrifices for other people or ‘the greater good’.

The insignificant person in you: Three of Pentacles – As far as insignificancy goes, you are never going to be ‘the big kahuna’ in the office. You are hardworking and reasonably successful, but money and power are not among the goals that you strive for.

The mature person in you: Six of Pentacles – You are generous and kind. The Six of Pentacles is about having faith in life and in yourself and tells us that it is from this faith that your generosity and kindness comes. If you’ve heard of ‘the Toddler’s Manifesto’, where ‘if it is mine it is mine, if it is yours it is mine, if I see it and want it, it is mine’ you’ll understand why this is ‘the mature person in you’!

Conclusion:- This spread is about loving all the different parts of yourself. It’s supposed to read, ‘I love them all... the child, the angel, the devil, the nameless, the feminine, the masculine, the special, the insignificant and the mature in me.’ I see many of these traits in you, especially the kindness, the loyalty and the fun side of you. I also see the fear and uncertainty, and the temper doesn’t surprise me at all! I suspect you don’t see the same person we do, that you have a different view of yourself, so I hope this helps you to understand why we see you the way we do. In particular I feel that the support and friendship is a new discovery for you. Trust me, it’s there.

Twelve Month Spread for Kandi P

November 2007: Nine of Cups - November is a month of relationships. You may find yourself witnessing a lot of romance and 'togetherness'. I would not be at all surprised to find you at a friend's wedding or a close friend of yours falling in love. It's a time to be thinking about those who are close to you and a time for romance and relationships.

December 2007: Eight of Cups - You are feeling alone and left out. You mentioned that your family have moved away - December and Christmas are lonely times to be away from family, so it doesn't surprise me to find you feeling a little down this month. In as far as November was a good month for romance, December is not a good month for romance and relationships. Don't make any crucial relationship decisions this month.

January 2008: The World - This month you are back 'on top of the world' and feeling like you can achieve anything. A great month for plans, decisions and success. Great for work or business. Work hard and get stuff done this month.

February 2008: Five of Swords - You have a difficult decision to make in February and I don't envy you, it will be a tough choice. You will probably feel like there is no right answer - it seems to be a lose-lose situation. Don't let people push you or intimidate you in to making a quick decision. Take your time and be sure of your choice.

March 2008: Queen of Cups - The Queen of Cups is a woman who is close to you. This month you are thinking about her or spending time with her. She has influence over you. Possibly this is your mother or someone who takes a maternal interest in you. I definitely feel like you are thinking about her...

April 2008: Six of Wands - You did it! This is a card of achievement where people are applauding your success. This is usually a sign of triumphing over your obstacles and seeing the benefits of your struggles to achieve.

May 2008: Ten of Pentacles - This is a card of happy families, a strong connection to home and hearth and feeling well pleased with your home life. This is a great month for settling down.

June 2008: Judgment - This is a card that sort of sends the warning "You will read what you sow". That's not always a bad thing - you have already seen cards that show you receiving the benefits of your hard labour. However, this card is a reminder that life works the other way too - if you don't put in the work, you won't see the benefits...and also what goes around, comes around. So I'm not saying anything bad happens in June...just that June will be what you make of it - how you have acted in the months leading up to June will affect the sort of month you have.

July 2008: Four of Cups - Be wary of friends who do not have your best interests at heart. Some people love to gossip, love to meddle and love to cause chaos with their words. Be very careful what you listen to and whom you believe. This is a month definitely to be wary of what people say.

August 2008: Queen of Pentacles - Money and a woman. This could be a work related issue...perhaps a job offer. There is definitely a woman involved. Perhaps a female boss? Possibly a woman who puts you in a position that is good for you financially? The two are definitely connected, the money and the woman...
[Edit: Now that you've mentioned that you are a woman yourself, I should add that this card could simply represent you. Either way, it should be a good month for finances.]

September 2008: The Chariot - You have a long road to travel and some tough lessons to learn...do not be afraid of either of these. This month and the things that lead to it and that come after will be learning processes for you and will help you to mature and grow as a person. Yup, you know that saying - what doesn't kill me makes me stronger? That's September and probably a while afterwards too. But I swear, there is a reason for it. It's one of those things you'll look back on later and think 'I learned a valuable lesson there'. I know, no one wants to learn valuable life lessons the hard way, but sometimes that's just how life works.

October 2008: Four of Wands - I sense travel and a farewell. It could be a longish trip, and I think it will be without your family. It isn't necessarily a permanent separation, but it is some time before you return. It feels like you may move away to live somewhere else. This is undoubtedly connected to the same issues from last month - the life lessons you are learning.

Conclusion:- You wanted to know when you moved back to be with your family, and were speculating on April or June. I definitely see it as being April. There is a sense of accomplishment and achievement in April, then a settling down period in May that has a very strong family feel to it. So yes, definitely April according to the cards. Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any questions, and of course, I'm always curious to find out what really does happen, so feel free to drop me a line any time over the next twelve months and let me know how it goes.

Celtic Cross for Andrea M

The Significator: The Tower – It's not going how you want. But there's a reason for that.

The Crossing Card: Six of Wands – It has something do with work, with financial success.

The Crowning Card: Queen of Cups – You're feeling feminine and powerful. You enjoy being wanted and he makes you feel sexy.

The Base of the Matter: Five of Swords – You're feeling like there's only so much you can do, and maybe this is too much right now for you (or him) to cope with.

Past Influences: The World – Success and feeling like you're 'on top of the world'. Everything was going right.

Forthcoming Influences: Eight of Cups – The end of the relationship. Walking away. Feeling sad.

Where One Finds Oneself: Nine of Cups – You're happy with how it is. Satisfied. You don't want things to change.

The Views of Others: Six of Cups – He's happy with the relationship but sees so much potential for the future. He needs to do this.

Hopes and Fears: The Wheel of Fortune – You fear that every time something good happens, something bad will happen to ruin it all. But of course, every time something bad happens, you hope/know that something good is round the corner. A vicious cycle, really.

The Final Outcome: Three of Pentacles – Work/money comes first. He'll do what he needs to do in order to succeed in his chosen field. Unfortunately for you, I think that means it will be difficult to maintain a relationship. It's possible, but it will be damn hard work.

The Question Game spread for Kate

My situation/problem: Five of Cups – There has been money lost. The impression I get is that it has been wasted or effectively ‘tipped down the drain’. There is possibly a partner or ex-partner involved. You’ve had your mind on other things and weren’t able to prevent the loss until it was too late. It seems that you might be losing sleep over this issue.

How it happened: Wheel of Fortune – It was meant to happen for a reason. The Wheel turns and takes us up to victory and down to disaster in various cycles. All of tarot is about cycles. This is just another step within that cycle. There are better times ahead.

The way I feel today: The Sun – You have a positive outlook on the world. You are not easily depressed or beaten down. Possibly you still have a love interest you are focussing on? Not sure on that one. Definitely this will not beat you. You will overcome this situation. You are determined not to give up and let this get the better of you.

This is what I’m afraid of: Two of Cups – You’re afraid of feeling trapped by the situation. You don’t like to be reliant on others for help. You are afraid this is not something you can easily fix.

This is what will happen in the future: Knight of Wands – You will fight back. You will triumph. You need to deal with the cause as well as the symptoms though. It’s not just about replacing the money but preventing it from happening again. You will have help from someone else in fighting this battle.

This is the warning the cards are sending: Page of Swords – Be wary of what you say to others – it’s not about keeping your own counsel but what you say could come back to hurt you. Just be careful who you talk to and what you say.
You will need to think ‘outside the box’ for solutions. Be creative.
Be careful about celebrating your triumph prematurely. Wait until it is fully resolved before you relax.

This is the suggestion the cards are sending: Six of Wands – You will overcome this, but you will need support. Let others help you. Don’t consider asking for help as a weakness. I don’t see this being resolved without the assistance of at least one other person.

Conclusion:- Don’t despair. You definitely overcome this situation. You will solve the issue and move on to better times. BUT you need to let people help you. If there is a third party involved in the loss, be wary of talking about them to others. But be sure that you don’t leave yourself open to being in this situation again. More than anything else, I get the impression that you need to let people help you – I feel you are resisting that, but it feels necessary in this case. Hope that helps!

Wedding Spread for Kelly W

Your hopes and fears concerning this occasion: The Tower – The Tower represents your fear that everything will come crashing down around you. You are aiming high and you have very high hopes for the wedding, but you worry that something will go wrong to ruin it all.

Something great you will always remember about this occasion: Ten of Pentacles - The Ten of Pentacles really suggests a feeling of peace and satisfaction. You will have good memories of your wedding. The wedding will leave you with a sense of permanence and security – which is exactly what we would hope for from a wedding. :)

Something not-so-great that you will always remember about this occasion: Six of Pentacles – This isn’t a negative card, but it does suggest that perhaps the ‘not so great’ memories you will have of the wedding are in regards to finances. Weddings are expensive and we all know it, so if this is the only bad memory you take away, I must congratulate you!

How you will feel about this event in hindsight: Two of Cups – This card shows a new level in your relationship. The Two of Cups often signifies a contractual agreement, which is very appropriate for your wedding, but more than that, it is about starting the next stage together.

Your Prince Charming: Page of Wands – He’s not the kind of person who likes to be in the spotlight – he’s more used to working behind the scenes. He might be a bit uncomfortable being the centre of attention on the day. He can be quite restless and probably likes a lot of variety in his work and hobbies. Be careful of criticising the Page of Wands – they can have fragile egos. It is common with the Page of Wands that they have a lot of ideas and creative leanings but don’t have enough belief in themselves to follow through. He's probably held himself back from contributing much to the wedding arrangements. If you can encourage to share his ideas and help him action them, you might be surprised at what he can come up with.

How you really feel about him: Nine of Cups – This is a fantastic card for a couple who are getting married. This card shows love, commitment and that your Page of Wands really is everything you wanted. This card would definitely suggest that you’re doing the right thing, with the right person.

How you will feel about your attire: Seven of Cups – Brides are usually quite emotional about their appearance and I don’t think you’ll be any different to the norm. The Seven of Cups is all about emotional potential, and I think if you are truly happy, your whole appearance will reflect that. I guess, effectively, it’s your choice – to be happy with how you look or to nitpick at every little detail. But given the rest of the spread, I do believe that you will be happy and everyone will see that. And when you look at the photos later, that happiness is what you will focus on.

How you will feel about the other attendees: Knight of Swords – There could be a bit of chaos amongst the other attendees. Hopefully not too much though! The Knight of Swords suggests there could be some last-minute changes, some minor arguments and you might feel a little like you’re not in control anymore. The key with this card is flexibility. If you can be flexible and try not to stress, it will all work out. These are short-term effects – the chaos, the arguments, they are minor and won’t last long. If you can just ‘go with the flow’ you’ll find that they won’t really affect the overall day very much at all. If you stress and get all worked up about it, that will overflow on to everything else. So the message here is – stay calm, be flexible and go with the flow! And really, has there been a wedding ever, where there hasn’t been some sort of guest-related issue?

General overview of the event: Knight of Cups – The Knight of Cups is a true romance card. Your wedding is all about love, commitment, romance...and that one day where you are the most important, the most beautiful and the most envied woman. The Knight of Cups will bring all of that for you on the day. Don’t worry – it’s going to be perfect.

General overview of the after-event: Four of Swords – The Four of Swords is all about taking time out. The ‘after event’ is a quiet, peaceful time for you and Blair. As it should be. :) Just time alone together, relaxing and recuperating. Sounds wonderful!

Conclusion:- The cards are pretty clear, but nonetheless, let’s recap:
Your biggest fear is that something major will go wrong and everything will just turn to custard. Understandable, but I see nothing in the cards to indicate that will happen. If anything, the opposite is true.
Everything about the cards in this spread shows that you are making the right decision, with the right man, and that the whole day will go perfectly. The only minor glitches (other than the whole ‘weddings are expensive’ thing which is only to be expected!) are minor last minute changes. And the message from the cards regarding these issues is definitely to relax, go with the flow, and don’t let it bother you. If you can just shrug it off and not let it bother you, it will be over with quickly. It did not come up as one of the things that really stood out in your memories, so don’t worry about it. The important thing is that you enjoy yourself and I believe that if you can relax and let the minor details take care of themselves, you’ll have a fantastic day. I can’t see any major issues that need worrying about. Have a lovely day!

I Love Them All spread for Beth T

The child in you: Nine of Cups - You are always pleased to get praise and recognition for your achievements and efforts from other people.

The angel in you: Page of Wands - You have a wonderful, creative imagination and you believe that there is something better, something wonderful out there. Pages also represent children and I believe the angel in you truly comes out when you connect with children.

The devil in you: Two of Cups - You find it hard to forgive and forget – you tend to hold on to grudges.

The nameless person in you: Queen of Pentacles - The perfectionist who demands unrealistic standards of herself.

The feminine person in you: Ace of Swords - ‘We need to talk.’ You like to talk, you prefer to talk than suffer in silence and you hate not knowing what the other person is thinking.

The masculine person in you: The Devil - You hide your insecurities and issues rather than dealing with them face on. Men don’t like to talk about their weaknesses, hence this is the ‘masculine’ in you.

The special person in you: Four of Swords - Sometimes you just need time out, solitude, some time alone to think. This card might also indicate that you’re independent and can stand on your own.

The insignificant person in you: Knight of Cups - This is the artistic/poetic side of you. I wouldn’t have said it was insignificant, but maybe it’s not something you do anymore?

The mature person in you: Seven of Cups - You are skilled at recognising potentials and acting realistically to make them happen. You push yourself and others to be the best they can be.

Conclusion: This spread is about loving all the different parts of yourself. It’s supposed to read, ‘I love them all... the child, the angel, the devil, the nameless, the feminine, the masculine, the special, the insignificant and the mature in me.’ So there you go. There are nine things to love about yourself!! :)

Stages of Change spread (version 1) for Beth T

This is over and done with: Ace of Pentacles - This card symbolises material ambition – having the energy and drive to make money. Perhaps this reflects on your desire to focus on other more important things in life.

This is over but the effects linger on: Judgement - This is always a difficult card to interpret – it represents reaping what you sow – facing the consequences of your actions. There is obviously something that is still affecting you, even if the actual event is behind you.

This is where you are heading: Queen of Swords - The Queen of Swords has very high standards – practically impossible. She and everyone else fails to measure up. Is this a warning? Or is it saying that you are breaking free of this and learning to accept yourself and everyone else as they are? The card suggests that there may be a defence mechanism here to stop you being hurt. I’m a bit confused by this card. I do wonder if maybe someone else has set some impossibly high standards for you and you try to reach them, fail, and lose confidence in yourself. Maybe this card is suggesting that you need to learn to accept yourself just as you are – not worry about what this other person thinks so much?

This is what you expect: Knight of Pentacles - You think life is going to be very ordinary, very domesticated. The Knight of Pentacles is pleasant and comfortable and easy to be with, but not fun or exciting or challenging.

This is what you’re supposed to learn right now: Eight of Wands - There are some obstacles and issues to deal with, but then things will flow smoothly. Possibly there are a couple of lessons here – you need to face your problems rather than hoping they’ll just go away and also you need to keep hope. This card also indicates that some tensions will be resolved.

Conclusion: Once again I get the distinct impression that you are trying so hard to be this amazing, special woman that everyone loves...that you don’t realise that you’re already there. We love you, Beth. We think you’re amazing and special. No, we know that you’re amazing and special! Look at all the battles you’ve fought, the people you’ve made an impact on, your talents, your blessings... I honestly feel like this whole spread kept saying ‘you need to accept yourself as who you are and learn to love yourself.’ That’s what this spread says to me.

Facing The Gap Spread for Beth T

This is possible: Eight of Swords - You are faced with a difficult situation or decision and you don’t believe there is an easy answer. You will cope and you will make it through. You just need to find the way that works best. And it might be messy or difficult, but you can do it. The Eight of Swords is saying that it is possible to get past this point and deal with it all.

This is important: The High Priestess - It is very important that you listen to your intuition. Follow your instincts. If something seems meaningful or significant or a ‘sign’, then it probably is. Trust yourself.

This is courageous: Ten of Pentacles - I strongly believe this card represents your move from the workforce to home – it’s about security, family, knowing you made the best choice for your kids. That took courage and if I might say so, I admire you for it.

This is futile: Ace of Pentacles - This is a card of money and ambition. In this position, it suggests that something you’d been hoping might eventuate is not going to. I suspect the ambition is there, but not the reward.

This is necessary: The Hierophant - Last time I did this spread for you, this card appeared in the ‘this is important’ position. Now he is in the ‘this is necessary’ position. The Hierophant has three sides to him. He represents the church and religion, he represents personal spirituality and he represents purpose and meaning in life. To you, all three are necessary. I have wondered before about your relentless search for your goal in life – this card tells me that search is necessary for you. You’re not someone who can just live day to day – there is a bigger picture and you need to see it.

This is joyful: Seven of Cups - Your marriage has come up before in the cards as a great source of strength and support for you. And this card says that you might be ‘overjoyed’ to find out that there is plenty of potential left in your relationship – don’t think this is as good as it gets – it gets better!!

This is funny: Knight of Cups - You do seem to get strange cards in this position, Beth. The Knight of Cups stands for romance, love, your knight in shining armour. I believe this card predicts that your husband and your relationship will provide some light relief, and dare I say it, lighten your heart a little. I believe that potential mentioned in the previous card is just what you needed to break through and start to have fun again.

This helps you to get ahead Death - We’ve seen in the previous spread that your ability to adapt to changes is something that helps you get ahead, and Death seconds that idea. He suggests you thrive on change – it brings out the best in you. Death signifies a significant change to a new phase in your life, and it will help you to move onwards and upwards.

Conclusion: I found this spread quite interesting given the recent developments in your life. There were a couple of cards that spoke of change, and particularly when you left the workforce. That took courage, but I do believe the cards say it was the right move. Also, I believe that move will help to make some of those potentials in your relationship become reality. I do think that you had to listen to your instincts/intuition and really trust in yourself to make the right choice when you made such a big change, and the cards say that is something you need to continue to do – believe in yourself, trust yourself. Also, don’t lose focus of some of those things that help you – your religion, your personal spirituality and your search for meaning and purpose. Those things lend you strength and help you battle obstacles, so they are not just important, they are necessary! Possibly the only down side to this spread is the suggestion that some money or financial goal won’t materialise – maybe it’s time to revaluate that goal... Anyway, overall, an empowering spread, I think. You are strong, you can do it, just believe in yourself. You have made it this far, and the best is still to come!!

Relationship Compatibility Spread for Andrea W

General Compatibility

Andrea’s strength – Knight of Pentacles – Your general strength is that you are domestic, hard working, reliable and easy going. You don’t need a glittering social life or constant entertainment.

Matt’s weakness – Eight of Swords – Matt’s weakness is that in a difficult situation, he will put off making a choice. If he doesn’t like the options, he will delay and delay until the situation reaches boiling point. He is probably non-confrontational, preferring to ignore or avoid difficult situations.

Andrea’s weakness – Six of Wands – Your weakness is that you need other people to recognise and acknowledge your accomplishments and your talents. You need that validation to build your self-esteem and that can make you competitive or envious of more successful people.

Matt’s strength – Queen of Pentacles – Matt’s strength is that he is good with money and good with domestic household tasks. He is hard working and generous, but certainly knows how to enjoy himself.

Emotional Compatibility

Andrea’s strength – Seven of Pentacles – You think very carefully about decisions and before making changes. You commit yourself fully and it will take a lot of careful thought and consideration before you break a commitment.

Matt’s weakness – Nine of Cups – Matt’s emotional weakness is that he wants to be in love, he wants the ‘happily ever after’. He might fool himself in to believing there is more to a relationship than there really is, or rush in to a commitment before the time is really right.

Andrea’s weakness – Six of Cups – Your emotional weakness is that you are still dealing with issues from your past. The Six of Cups says that you need to get to that stage where you can recognise the good in the past and take that with you, and also recognise the mistakes and learn from those. This card says that you might still have some emotions – love, hate, etc – regarding past issues and you haven’t fully dealt with those yet.

Matt’s strength – Five of Wands – Matt’s emotional strength is that he is good at compromise, likes to please and doesn’t mope. He isn’t easily depressed and tends to adapt well to change. He is generous and giving.

Spiritual Compatibility

Andrea’s strength – The Sun – You are optimistic and look forward to the future. You believe that everything will turn out for the best.

Matt’s weakness – Eight of Wands – He finds that in times of conflict and difficulty, it is hard for him to see the bigger picture. When he finally nears the end and can see the light at the end of the tunnel, then things start moving a lot faster for him.

Andrea’s weakness – Judgement – You find it difficult to deal with and acknowledge mistakes. You prefer to gloss over them, pass the blame or forget about them altogether. You need to learn how to take the positives with you and learn from the mistakes so you don’t repeat them.

Matt’s strength – The Empress – He is patient, nurturing and protective – he likes to take care of people. He is very caring and devoted.

Intellectual Compatibility

Andrea’s strength – Seven of Swords – You have a subtle intellect and know how to get things done without making big dramas or creating unnecessary conflict. You are quietly efficient, great at working behind the scenes.

Matt’s weakness – The Tower – Matt doesn’t like to give up on projects. He hates to admit defeat. Again, he tends to focus on the details rather than the bigger picture.

Andrea’s weakness – Two of Cups – You enjoy taking on new projects and bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to them. However, when that energy dies away, you might get bored and restless and not feel like seeing the project through to completion.

Matt’s strength – Three of Pentacles – Matt is good at what he does and is usually successful. He is happy to put in as much hard work or effort as a project requires.

Andrea W

Potential Relationship spread for Andrea W

How the person of interest presents themselves to you, what they show you – Ten of Pentacles – You see him as being strong and steady, with a solid career and background, someone who isn’t flight and wishy-washy. You see him as a successful man, you believe he will do well in life and can achieve the goals he sets for himself. You also see him as a good provider and a family man.

What they think of you, how they see you – Justice – He sees you as a strong person, willing to fight for what you believe in , what you want, what you think is right. He thinks you’re clever, but in a subtle way that maybe others don’t notice. He thinks you’re domesticated and would make a good wife, but he also recognises your more creative talents. Like you, he appreciates that you are steady and calm, not flighty and wishy-washy.

How they feel about you as a whole – Knight of Swords – I believe he is feeling confused about the situation at the moment. There is a lot of recent history which is still playing on around and behind you two and he isn’t sure you’re ready to settle down or if you’re enjoying a sort of adventure.

Something about you that attracts them to you – Page of Cups – He admires your emotional strength, your ability to overcome past difficulties. He believes it shows a lot of courage to risk your heart again when someone has hurt you so badly before. I believe this card also indicates that he appreciates the maternal side of you – he likes your son and he likes the idea of having a family.

Something about you that turns them off – The Devil – The Devil indicates that you might have low self-esteem and that this may affect the way you act in relationships. If you try to hide the low self-esteem behind false attitudes, which The Devil suggests you might, he might find that confusing and complicating.

Level of interest they have (or how they feel) about pursuing a relationship with you – The Hierophant – I believe The Hierophant shows that he doesn’t believe a relationship with you will be easy to pursue. There are a number of obstacles in the path, initially at least, and you can’t just drift along and let things happen as they may. You will have to work at this relationship if you want it to succeed. He is a strong individual who will do what is right for him, not what anyone else thinks he should or shouldn’t do and he will make up his own mind on what is his best course of action here. Possibly he has had a difficult relationship in the past and recognises where you are coming from. I don’t see a definite answer to whether he will put all his energy in to making this relationship work or not – possibly he hasn’t yet decided. He is looking at all the issues and weighing things up and he will make a decision when he is ready.

Snapshot Relationship Spread for Andrea W

How things stand at the moment – Page of Cups - This is a very new relationship, only just beginning. He might be a new person in your life or you are looking at him in a new light.

What your head is telling you about the relationship; what you 'think' you should be feeling – Judgement – In some ways, you’re looking at this relationship as a treat you are giving to yourself, a reward if you like. You have had some difficult times recently and you want something special and sweet in your life, maybe something that’s not too heavy going, just something you can enjoy – not sexual as such, but sweet and nice. But be careful, because this card also warns not to lie to yourself – you know what things you still need to deal with, don’t just pretend they’ve gone because you don’t want to deal with them, or they’ll turn up when you least want them.

What your heart is telling you about the relationship; how you really feel – The Wheel of Fortune – Your heart is telling you that it is about time something went right for a change.

The impression you're giving to the other person involved – Nine of Swords – He is very much aware of the issues that are going on in your life. He doesn’t see you as relaxed, open or ready for a new relationship. He thinks you have too much still to deal with.

What the other person's head is telling them about the relationship; what they 'think' they should be feeling – Seven of Wands – His head is telling him that if he really wants this, he’s going to have to work hard for it. It’s going to be a tough road, a challenge... Does he want it badly enough to put in the effort that will be required?

What the other person's heart is telling them about the relationship; how they really feel – The Hanged Man – His heart is telling him that pursuing a relationship with you will mean sacrifices for him. This relationship with you would displace other things in his life that he appreciates. Again, does he want this relationship badly enough to sacrifice those other things for you?

The impression they give you – Three of Swords – It appears that he is giving you the impression that you are both better off not even starting this relationship, so that you can avoid further heartache in the future. He thinks you’re both going to end up hurt and it will be easier just to end the relationship now, before it even really begins and save you both the pain.

Where things are headed – Ten of Wands – This relationship is a burden that neither of you need at the moment. It is getting in the way of other things in your life, stopping you from progressing and moving onwards. There is the suggestion in this card that instead of getting in to more dramas and emotional situations, that you could take some time to play and be silly.

Conclusion:- This relationship really doesn’t look like a good thing for you at the moment. I know you see it as something pretty light hearted and innocent, with no major dramas, but it won’t stay that way. And he knows it too. He’s not committed to this relationship and he would have to be if it was going to work. But it’s too soon for you, he’s not committed, it’s just not going to work. The Ten of Wands suggests backing away from emotional situations, like new relationships, and just enjoying yourself for a while. Have fun. You don’t need a boyfriend to do that. And when you are ready, hopefully the man who catches your eye will recognize that and he’ll be prepared to commit to the relationship too.

Snapshot Relationship Spread for Andrea W

Queen of Wands – The Queen of Wands fell out of the deck while I’m shuffling, so she must have a message for you in regards to this relationship. Part of her message is to remind you that you do not need a man, or a relationship, to make you whole. You can be strong and happy on your own, and maybe you need to be reminded of that. Maybe one of the reasons you’re having relationship issues at the moment is because you are searching for something that neither man can provide for you. When you do find the right relationship for you, it must be one that allows you to be a wife, a mother, a career woman...whatever you want to be...without restricting to you to one ‘label’ or job – wife. That fear of being restricted is also affecting your relationships at the moment. Perhaps you’re pushing your men away at the same time that you’re trying to form a relationship with them?

How things stand at the moment – King of Wands – This relationship is very appealing to you at the moment and you’re ready for a change, ready to try something new. There is a feeling here that ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’. This is obviously the newer relationship of the two and of the two it is certainly the more attractive to you at the moment.

What your head is telling you about the relationship; what you 'think' you should be feeling – Ten of Swords – Your head is telling you that you’re not really ready for this relationship yet. You have other stuff to deal with, other things to sort out. You’re disappointed and it seems like some of that is because you just don’t want to be alone. And yet you know that isn’t a good reason to stay in (or start) a relationship – it’s not fair on him, and it’s not going to do you any good either.

What your heart is telling you about the relationship; how you really feel – Four of Wands – Your heart feels that this relationship has gotten off to a great start and it looks really hopeful, so why chuck it in? The idea of ‘why fix it if it’s not broken?’ really applies here.

The impression you're giving to the other person involved – Strength – He thinks you’re coping really well with all that life has thrown at you and he really admires you. He thinks you’ve been through a lot and you’re doing really well. There is no indication here of what you are showing him in regards to the relationship, but overall he sees that you’ve coped really well with a difficult situation.

What the other person's head is telling them about the relationship; what they 'think' they should be feeling – Ten of Wands – His head is telling him that this relationship is a bad idea. He isn’t ready for something this...involved, this serious or this difficult. Basically, you have a lot of issues that you’re still working out and he doesn’t know if he’s up to dealing with them. His head is telling him to stay out of it.

What the other person's Heart is telling them about the relationship; how they really feel – Ten of Cups – His heart is telling him that a relationship with you could be really really good and if he misses out on that, he could really regret it. The Ten of Cups has an element of permanence and love in it, so he may have fallen in love with you, but if not, he definitely feels like he could if he gave himself half a chance. He sees the potential relationship as a long-term one, which may be part of why his head is warning him not to go there – he may feel that he’s not ready for a long term relationship at the moment.

The impression they give you – Four of Cups – Interestingly, he doesn’t seem to be showing you ANY of what he’s really thinking or feeling. It looks like he’s either giving you mixed signals or he’s really holding back everything and keeping everything from you at the moment. From your point of view, you might feel a bit disappointed or let down because it looks like he might be playing with you or you feel that he’s saying one thing and doing another or something like that. He’s not doing it on purpose. He’s as confused about this relationship as you seem to be about both. 

Where things are headed – The Hierophant – I get the impression that the difficulties that you’ve been through are playing a huge role in this relationship. He is keeping that right in the front of his mind. He doesn’t want to hurt you in any way, and he doesn’t know if it’s better to break it off now and only hurt you a little bit or give it a go and maybe you’ll both end up more hurt in the long run...or maybe it will work out really well, but should he take that risk when you’ve already been through so much? Interestingly, this card makes me feel like saying ‘listen to your hearts’, just go with what feels right. From the cards above, your heart is telling you that things are looking really positive and there is a lot of potential, and his heart is certainly saying that he wants to give this a go. So while I shy away from recommending decisions, that’s what this card makes me feel like saying – listen to your hearts and do what feels right.

Conclusion:- You both think that this isn’t a good time to be getting in to a relationship. You haven’t finalised things in your other relationship yet, and he’s really not sure that he’s up to the job as he sees it. But you both see the relationship as having a lot of potential and you both really want to give it a go. He sees the potential relationship as a long term one and he thinks very highly of you. It’s not too clear exactly what you think, because you’re worrying about all sorts of things at the moment, partly your other relationship, but you definitely think this relationship is worth a go. I find it fascinating that neither of you are showing each other what you really think or feel. You must be both quite confused! But the cards seem to indicate that it is definitely worth giving this relationship a shot. The question is, which will win? Heads or hearts?

Snapshot Relationship Spread for Andrea W

How things stand at the moment – Ace of Wands – The Ace of Wands indicates that things aren’t very settled at the moment between the two of you. You’re not happy with the status quo and you’re getting restless and impatient. It looks like you’re worried that you’re settling for second best when there could be something better out there.

What your head is telling you about the relationship; what you 'think' you should be feeling – Three of Swords – Your head is telling you that this relationship is going nowhere and you really should break up with him. You don’t really want to because you don’t want to hurt yourself OR him, but you really think it would be for the best in the long run.

What your heart is telling you about the relationship; how you really feel – The Lovers – This card shows us that you’re really not sure what the best option is. Often the Lovers indicates a choice between two ‘lovers’ and given what I know of the situation, that would certainly be true. Basically, you can’t make up your mind which is the better option. Sometimes the Lovers can indicate that you rushed in to this relationship too quickly, and it almost certainly means that you need to look very carefully at the decision you have to make and think things through before acting. But while your head is very clear on what you should do, your heart doesn’t really know what to think. You’re a bit confused, Ange, if you didn’t know that already.

The impression you're giving to the other person involved – Two of Wands – He is probably getting mixed signals from you and isn’t really sure what you’re thinking or feeling – pretty understandable since it looks like you’re not sure either! It looks like he’s expecting the worst. He is waiting to hear the final verdict on whether you’re staying or going.

What the other person's head is telling them about the relationship; what they 'think' they should be feeling – Three of Cups – He knows he’s found someone special and this could be an amazing relationship. He thinks very highly of you and his head is telling him to go for it.

What the other person's Heart is telling them about the relationship; how they really feel – The Tower – He’s finding it really difficult to deal with things at the moment. In his heart, I think he feels that if you break up, it was probably for the best. He might not understand why, but if that’s what happens, there was probably a reason for it. He finds it very difficult to change – he likes his comfort zone – and he doesn’t like things being so unsettled. You’re confusing him, and while he doesn’t want the relationship to end, he doesn’t like waiting to see what’s going to happen either.

The impression they give you – Nine of Cups – He is giving you the impression that he is committed to you and the relationship and that no matter what, he wants you to be happy – and if that means giving you up, then he’ll do that.

Where things are headed – Knight of Swords – The Knight of Swords brings change in to your life and hence your relationship. This is not a definitive answer of whether you will stay a couple or how you will work things out, but it certainly indicates that you cannot maintain the status quo – something has to change.

Conclusion:- Honestly, it looks like this relationship is on its last legs. You’ve already decided that you’re going to break up with him, but so far you haven’t managed to go through with it. You’re thinking about someone else and you’re already moving on from this relationship, you just haven’t admitted it yet.
He’s really confused, and by putting it off, you’re only hurting him more. He doesn’t really believe that this relationship is going to last, even though he would like it to, but more than anything he just wants you to be happy, so there’s no point delaying it any more.

New Year's spread for Nicky C

Focus – Knight of Cups – Your focus for the new year will be on forming a more permanent, committed relationship. The Knight of Cups is not necessarily celibate but he prefers a committed relationship to casual sex. This card indicates you are ready to settle down for a while with one guy.

Desire – Judgement – Your desire is to see the rewards of all the work and effort you've put in. Judgement is about getting what you deserve, and you obviously feel like you've earnt something and now your desire is to see that come to fruition.

Romance – Judgement – As I said, Judgement is about getting what you deserve. Sometimes that is a good reward that you've worked for, sometimes it is not so pleasant. In romance, Judgement is telling us that some of the things from your past - good or bad - will influence your romantic hopes in the near future.

The Unexpected – The Hermit – You will need to learn to be patient. The Hermit indicates that you will spend some time alone, time that you can use to think, to plan, to look at things from a distance. In regards to being 'unexpected', I think that something you thought would be relatively easy or straight forward will take more time than you thought. This card definitely indicates the need for patience.

Others – Two of Swords – It appears that you and another person have been butting heads on an issue for a while. You're at check mate, neither person willing to back down or compromise. The Two of Swords indicates that the current situation cannot continue as it is, so you will have to make a move soon. Think carefully, then make your move, because if you delay until the situation gets to crisis point, things won't go your way. Better to move sooner rather than later. You might not like the choices available, but they'll be preferable to waiting until you have no control over the situation.

The Home – King of Cups – The King of Cups indicates that there is someone in your home life that can help you. He is good at talking, good at listening. He is there to give you advice and let you lean on him. He's not a man of action so much, but he is good at helping people. When someone like the King of Cups shows up in your life, it is often an indicator that you might be too close to your own situation to be able to see things as clearly as you normally do, so an outside perspective helps.

Travel – Six of Cups and Knight of Pentacles – The Six of Cups indicates a nostalgic trip to a place that features in your past. Perhaps a trip home or to where you grew up? Some place that holds good memories for you?
The Knight of Pentacles isn't looking for adventure or excitement, so I suspect there are no big travel plans in your new year. He is a bit of a homebody, so that reinforces the idea of heading home. The Knight of Pentacles prefers the simple life and I think if you travel it will be to somewhere quiet, maybe somewhere rural.

Papers – Eight of Wands – The Eight of Wands shows that after waiting or trying to acheive something for a long time, you will finally see some action. In regards to papers, perhaps this refers to study you've been wanting to do or completing some form of certification? It could be a letter you've been waiting for...

Work/Career – Seven of Cups - The Seven of Cups is a card of potential - you have a lot of potential that you are not currently using in your career. You know you can do more, be more, but you have to decide which direction to go in and then just do it. At the moment you're just cruising along...you need to decide what you really want to do.

Unions – Page of Swords and Ten of Pentacles – These two cards are quite different to each other. The Ten of Pentacles talks about permanence, long term, continuity... We saw already in this reading that you're ready for a more settled, more committed relationship. However, this card could refer to a different kind of union. Perhaps once that is financial? Work? The Page of Swords is a card of curiousity, restlessness, with some arguing and bickering thrown in. I wonder if you'll argue with someone at work and start a new job, one that will last a lot longer, be more fulfilling and long term... The Ten of Pentacles is a very settled card. We saw that you are not using all your potential in your career at the moment, but the Ten of Pentacles would suggest that you do find a way to make the most of your talents and your skills. I do believe you will end up very successful. Hmm... I can see these two cards combining to bring about a change in work environment, leading to a role that sees you fulfilling more of your potential...

Emotional State – Temperance – You need to find balance. I believe you have been feel unsettled lately, feeling on edge. You can't relax and unwind easily. Temperance is about bringing balance in to your life. You may find it helps to open up more, to communicate, to talk. We saw in the King of Cups in the Home position that there is a man in your life that is there for you to talk to. At the moment your emotional state is very tense. I would say both your work life and your personal life are contributing to that. It looks like you need to find that extra something in your career that can stimulate you but without that edge of stress...and in your personal life you need to unwind, relax and find something more stable than what you have had recently. I do believe this card shows us that those things will come, but having already seen the Hermit in this spread, it may take some time.

Pleasure – Nine of Wands – Ah, are you the type that loves a challenge? The Nine of Wands could be the reason you will need the patience of The Hermit. It feels like things are winding you up until you're not sure how much more you can take...and just when you think things are going to sort themselves out, the Nine of Wands is going to throw another obstacle in your way. The thing about the Nine of Wands is that it always appear when you least want it - you feel like you just can't take anymore and along it comes. But it isn't the end of the situation. DON'T GIVE UP! You will beat the Nine of Wands. Again, you need to recollect the Hermit, especially as he was in the position of The Unexpected. You weren't expecting another hurdle at this stage in the game, but it's there and you WILL beat it, but you need to have patience and determination, you need to take a step back and think clearly about what you're going to do - act, not react - and you need to remember not to give up. You can get what you want, what you need, but you're going to have to fight for it.

News – The Moon – The Moon is a card of uncertainty, of feeling a bit confused and lost. It would seem that you get some news that unsettles you. Another good time to take a lesson from the Hermit and just take time to think things through. I believe the Hermit in The Unexpected position is a real lesson card for you - every time something catches you off guard, you need to stop and think things through - act, not react. Hard to do at the time, but a good thing to aim for.

Family – Judgement and The Emperor – See, this is interesting. I assumed that the King of Cups was your dad. But with The Emperor in the Family position, he must be a dominant male in your family - father or grandfather? We had Judgement earlier in the reading, and it is about getting what you deserve. The Emperor can play two roles in regard to that - he can be really useful in the business field, helping you with your career...or he can be difficult to deal with in the personal field, never failing to remind you of past mistakes. It's a tricky one. And perhaps he plays both. The Emperor is strong and clever and those skills work well in the business world. But he's not soppy or emotional...just about as different from the King of Cups as you can get...so he doesn't deal well with emotional issues. Take his help with your career if it's available, but don't let him drag you down about relationships. It's just the way he is.

The Physical Body – Ten of Pentacles – With this card, I would be extremely surprised if you had any real health issues. To me, this card indicates that there are no real worries in this area.

Finances – The Devil – You are in control of your own finances. You may not be where you want to be, financially, but you know why you're not and what to do about it. Whether you actually take that step and doing anything about it is up to you, but if you wanted to, you could be where you want to be. Other than winning Lotto. :)

Time – Four of Cups – Again we see that idea that time is really going to drag for you. You're bored, you're restless... I believe this card applies to both career and personal lives... You want a change, you're ready to do something different, something better and more rewarding than what you've been doing. You probably feel like you've been doing the same thing for too long now, hence this feeling of time dragging...

Friends – Four of Cups and Knight of Pentacles - I see your life toning down quite a bit. You may find that you have 'party' friends and 'everyday' friends or something similar. I feel these two cards indicate that those friends who are quieter, like spending time doing quiet, ordinary things are going to be those you see more of. It looks like you won't be seeing so much of the noisy, party crowd for a while. This ties in with the idea that you need to relax and calm down a bit more, get some of that balance back in your life.

Visitors/Callers – Three of Pentacles – Hmm... I am trying to figure out if you get a visitor after you have started sorting your career out, who will celebrate with you and talk things through... or if you will get a visitor who will help lead you down that path somehow. I do believe you will get a visitor connected with your career move. He or she will either create a reason to celebrate or they will arrive in time to celebrate. Will be interesting to see which one.

Mail – Ace of Pentacles – You will get some mail that brings in money of some kind. Woohoo! Again, I feel that this is linked to your career move - a chance to make the most of everything you've got. You had the Devil for finances, so not sure how that ties in with the Ace of Pentacles. It certainly seems like all the cards you need for success are there, it will just take time, patience and hard work.

Anxiety – Judgement – Again, there is that feeling of getting what you deserve. I feel like this card is more linked to relationships than career, but maybe not. Judgement in Anxiety shows that you probably feel like you don't deserve to get what you want because of something you did in the past. But you need to look beyond that and see what you can achieve. Everyone makes mistakes. I see your career issues working out more quickly than your relationship ones, but again, you just need to be patient.

Disappointment – Four of Cups – Things are not going to work out right first time or straight away. We've got that feeling again of being bored, restless, disappointed... Patience, patience... Things will work out, they're just not going to work out straight away and with the Nine of Wands in there, there are a few hurdles to work through, so things aren't going to be smooth sailing unfortunately.

Endings – Four of Wands – The Four of Wands is a card of achieving and completing a challenge. It appears that you have done what you set out to do and triumphed...now it is time to move on to the next challenge. I strongly suspect this is to do with work - you've suceeded in what you're doing at the moment, time to find a new challenge.

New Beginnings – The Empress and Ace of Swords – The Empress is about getting back to basics. While the Empress is very loving and caring, I don't feel she is relating to relationships in this position. She's trying to remind you to do what you want to do. You have talent. Maybe you're good at what you do now, but are you happy? Are you fulfilled? Is it really what you want to do? She's urging you to follow your dreams, basically. Do what makes you happy! The Ace of Swords indicates that there is conflict here, but that conflict is necessary to jolt you out of your day-to-day life and make you take a look at what you're doing and where you're going. You could have kept drifting along, but things have been stirred up and now you will do what you were meant to do. So while it may not be pleasant, it was a blessing in disguise.

Inheritance – Two of Pentacles – You've inherited talents and skills that will work for at this time in your life. Some people can't stand change, can't cope. They don't like to risk and will stay in their comfort zone rather than try something new, even if they're not totally happy where they are. You've inherited that ability to start something new, to change when you need to, to take a risk and see how things work out. Sometimes you risk and you lose, but sometimes you risk and you win. And in this instance, you need that ability to adapt, to move on, that willingness to give it a go, because you need to be able to make a change at this point in your life and staying in your comfort zone would mean passing up an opportunity that will make you more satisfied and happier in the long run.

Rewards/Gifts – Eight of Wands - I don't think things are going to happen fast or easily - that message has come across too many times in this reading. :) However, once you've tackled all the obstacles, things will start moving faster and you'll get a lot more done. Just remember that the Eight of Wands comes before the Nine of Wands - just when you think things are sorted and everything is going like it should do, you'll hit that obstacle. So although that period where everything is really going great is your 'reward', keep in mind that you might hit that obstacle and wonder if you're even meant to succeed - you are. Be patient, keep going, DON'T GIVE UP! :)

Success - The Emperor - And The Emperor returns... Sounds like a Star Wars movie, doesn't it? :) The man we saw earlier, in the position of Family (so he's likely a male in your family) will help you succeed. He's clever and he thinks with his head not his heart. So take his career advice, but don't let him interfere with your relationships. :) He will help you to succeed if you let him. He knows what he is talking about.

Fortune - The World - The World is a card of real success and achievement. It shows you reaching your goal. I don't know that it means Fortune in a financial sense but I certainly see successs for you. You can do this. :)

Blessings - The Tower - Your blessings will be in disguise. We've seen that the conflict you've got at work is a blessing in disguise. The Tower signifies that something bad will happen in order for something good to happen. If that makes sense. The conflict at work is bad, but it encourages you to make changes that will help you to succeed and that's a good thing. Truly your blessings appear to be in disguise this year. :) Most likely you will only see them looking back on things later.

Special Guidance - Queen of Cups - The Queen of Cups is a mysterious card. There is a lot of water associated with this card and the elements of water are portrayed in the Queen of Cups - she is deep and mysterious and what you see on the surface is not always what you get... The surface could be slow with a fast current underneath or vice versa. I find it interesting that you are a pisces, a very strong water card. I think your 'special guidance' is really the 'go with the flow' kind. Things are moving along in their own way - you probably couldn't figure it all out if you tried, so just do what seems right and things will probably work themselves out whether you understand why or not. Possibly the only guidance you'll get on this issue is the really 'special' kind - such as this reading. :)

Best Course of Action - The Fool - The Fool is about a new start, a new beginning, a risk and a willingness to change. The ideas that showed up in the Inheritance position fit well with The Fool - that willingness to step out of your comfort zone is perfect at this time in your life. That The Fool comes under 'Best Course of Action' really sums up this whole reading - you need to make a fresh start and a new beginning. It's time to make that change and maybe chase some dreams.

Outcome - Strength and Two of Cups - The Two of Cups signifies a new relationship - business or personal. Given the general tone of this reading I would say that a business relationship is the most primary answer, but there may be a new personal relationship on the horizon somewhere. Your peronal life is really taking a back seat to your career at the moment. Part of it is just that what is happening is the major focus at the moment and part of it is that you are too stressed and tense because of work to give enough of yourself to a decent personal relationship at the moment. Strength is what you'll need to overcome all those obstacles we saw - courage to make the change, strength to keep going despite the obstacle, self-discipline and determination...and even control over your emotions cos things might get a bit heated before you make your move. Overall, there is some major changes in your life, particularly in your career and they won't be easy, but if you can pull through you'll find yourself in a much more successful, much more satisfying place.

Hmmm... Just rereading this, I think I read that first card in regards to relationships when they were more in line with business relationships. For your 'focus', you're obviously looking for something more settled, more satisfying, something you can feel more committed to. I don't actually believe your focus for the year is on romantic relationships. Especially given the tone of the rest of the reading. Just wanted to add that without actually deleting what I originally wrote.

Celtic Cross for Chelsea H

Significator: Five of Swords - The Five of Swords is about realising your limitations and learning to live within them. This card often signifies a position where you have taken on more than you can handle and now you are finding it difficult to admit that, finding it hard to step back and say 'I'm sorry, I can't do this after all.'

Crossing Card: The Devil - The Devil is an interesting card. He reflects a lot of our deeper, more shameful feelings back at us. There are two things I think he could signify in this position. The first is that the situation is one that you might feel embarrassed or ashamed of being in. It's the sort of thing where you might say 'I just don't know how it ever got this bad'. The other thing that the Devil might signify is that you might be too embarrased or ashamed to ask for help. The Five of Swords often leaves us in a situation where many people have too much pride to back down and say it's too much for them...the Devil can be indicative of that pride that is not allowing you to ask for help or admit to failure or allowing you to walk away from the situation.

Crowning Card: Eight of Swords - The Crowning Card is a card that influences the whole situation, because it sits at the top of the spread. In this case, the Crowning Card shows that you are afraid of making a choice for fear of the consequences. It is almost as if there is no 'right' decision, because either choice seems to backfire on you. A lose-lose situation if you will. You asked me about how your decisions would affect things, and so I think this card is very significant of that question - a fear of the consequences and repercussions of your decisions.

Base of the Matter: Knight of Cups - The Base of the Matter card is usually something that is either underlying the whole situation, in much the same way that the Crowning Card overlooks the whole situation, or is something that you are unaware of or do not consider when looking at the situation. The Knight of Cups is someone who loves you very much. If I did not know you at all, I would say that this young man is under 35, he is sensitive and very loving, he is probably your partner and he is very committed to you. He loves you very much. Don't discount that, it is very important to know that he will be there for you no matter what.

Past Influences: The High Priestess - The High Priestess is a mysterious card. She works on things like intuition, dreams and the unconscious. I wonder if perhaps you have been brought in to this situation without any deliberate action on your part - it has all happened almost without you knowing why or how...

Forthcoming Influences: Ten of Wands - This card shows that things are getting too much for you. You need to deal with the situation soon, before it comes too big. There is a sense in this card that the time of taking of risks and being a bit daring are behind you now - in a way, you have too much to lose now.

Where One Finds Oneself: The World - The circle is one of the most important images within the World card - that idea that everything comes full circle - there is no end and no beginning. I guess in this instance that could mean either that you are in a pattern that you find repeating or that just because it feels like everything is falling down around your ears, it isn't the end, it is merely just another link within the circle... Have faith, soon things will swing round again and everything will be okay again...

Views of Others: Four of Swords - 'Others' seem to think that maybe you need to stop, slow down and take some time to think. There is a feeling in this card that you are rushing round, trying to do everything at once and you would be better served by taking some time out, just for you, relaxing, clearing your head. I feel that someone wants you to stop worrying and just let it go. This fits with the earlier cards where we saw that you were worrying about the consequences of your decisions and worrying about how your choices would affect everything. This person or persons wants you to stop worrying, just relax and take some time for yourself. You can't solve all the world's problems, so focus on the important things, and you will do better by them if you are calm and relaxed and not stressed out.

Hopes and Fears: Justice - Hopes and Fears are opposites, but are combined within the one position. A card usually has a 'flip side'. In this case, your hope is that you can be sensible, calm, unbiased and impartial. That you can do what is right, what is needed without getting caught up in the emotion of the moment. Your fear is that the very emotion you are trying to avoid is what you need - you need someone else to see this 'through the eyes of love'. You feel that the support and love and possibly forgiveness you need won't be forthcoming if the other person sees the situation as impartially as you feel you need to.

Final Outcome: King of Wands - The King of Wands brings change to your life. Often this is change within your environment - changes in the home, changes in the workplace. I don't feel that these are negative changes, but ones that are needed. Be wary of arrogance and being a 'sore loser' - use the fresh start as a means of wiping the slate clean.

Conclusion:- I have no idea what the issues are that are affecting you or what decisions you were referring to, but obviously they are weighing heavily on your mind. Your fear of the repercussions and consequences is quite obvious. It is hard to guage from the cards how serious this situation is, but I do feel that things work out okay for you. I know you are worried about the effect this will have on you relationship, but the Knight of Cups card in particular tells me that you are not giving the relationship the credit it deserves. He loves you. Unconditionally. There will be hard times and good times, but don't doubt how much he loves you.
I do think that this situation will bring some changes in to your life, but I don't think that the repercussions will be bad or serious as you fear. I think things will work out all right if you just do what you've gotta do and focus on the important things.

General reading for Ardith D

The Hanged Man - The Hanged Man indicates that there are some troubles in your life at the moment. And while you are hoping for 'a new and better life', you can't do that from where you are at the moment. Something has to change, something has to go. The Hanged Man represents a sacrifice, giving something up in order to achieve something of greater value to you. You asked about love and/or relationships and it would seem that either there is something you need to let go of in order to make a relationship work, or perhaps a relationship that you need to sacrifice to achieve this better life you're hoping for... Perhaps the other cards will clarify this further...

Queen of Wands - The Queen of Wands is someone who is very warm and caring, very loyal, someone you can talk to and confide in. This card may be a representation of you and your part in the relationship, but it is also likely to be someone you know. She is someone you might look up, who can advise, give you a shoulder to cry on, someone sensible and warm-hearted. I don't know that she has a role to play as such,
but is there for support for you.

The Moon - You're feeling confused and uncertain and you really aren't sure what you should do. Which is the 'right' thing to do? You're feeling rather lost, and it probably also feels like life is out of your control...

Nine of Swords - This card holds a lot of anxiety about the future, a lot of worry and panic. What if you make the wrong decision? What is going to be around the next corner? Will you be able to cope with whatever the future brings?

Ten of Swords - If you think of the Hanged Man as your 'situation' card, describing what is going on and what needs to happen and The Moon and the Nine of Swords as how you are feeling about it all, then you can think of Ten of Swords as your 'action' card. This card shows you making the sacrifice that the Hanged Man heralded. The Ten of Swords brings the end to a difficult situation and is the start of a new life with new hope. This card could simply mean the end of a difficult period in your life, but also seems likely to mean the end of a relationship...

The Empress - The Empress is a double sided card - she represents mourning and grief for what has been left behind. She finds it difficult to let go, even when she knows she's made the best, sometimes the only choice she can. On the other side, she represents a fresh start, new life, rather like winter then spring in the one card. Both the Empress and the Ten of Swords signify a difficult, emotional end and a hopeful new start.

Temperance - Ah, Temperance brings balance and peace to your life. A lovely card of harmony, communication, balance and peace. I think that once you have had time to grieve, to say goodbye to that situation, you will come to feel you did make the right choice and life will settle down significantly for you. This is a very pleasant, easy going, peaceful card.

Six of Pentacles - Pentacles are a suit of money and finances and it is possible that with teh Six of Pentacles there comes an exchange of money - either you benefiting from someone else's generosity or you being in a position to be generous to someone else. I suspect the former, but you never know. :) You have had a difficult time and that means that your self esteem, your faith in life and your faith in yourself is low... This will help to start rebuilding that. It brings peace and hope and faith back to your spirit as well as your life in general.

King of Wands - We have already seen some significant changes around you, but the King of Wands brings physical change - perhaps moving home, changing job... He changes your physical environment. It could be just what you need to help you with your new start - a complete change.

Queen of Cups - Be careful not to rush in to anything too much after everything that has gone before. The Queen of Cups is sometimes seen as the 'other woman' and I don't know if there is a third party involved in this situation, but if there is, try not to let her get to you. If there is not, and indeed, even if there is, I see this card as a warning - you might be tempted to let flattery and admiration go to your head because you are feeling a bit bruised and battered and you need the self esteem boost and maybe you need to feel 'alive'... But be very careful not to go too far too fast... Tread carefully with your new found freedom, okay?

Conclusion:- This was an interesting spread to do as you gave me so little information - just your name and that you wanted a reading on love/relationships. I had no idea if you were in a relationship or single or whatever... So yeah, I found it quite interesting.
The cards definitely indicate a difficult period in your life and the cards mention conflict, so there have probably been arguments and anger. This all seems to be within your current relationship. I sense that your fear of the unknown is what is keeping you from ending the relationship. I guess it's a 'better the devil you know' scenario. A lot of people hate the idea of being single when they've been a relationship for a long time. However, I do feel that you find the courage to take that step. I do sense that the relationship ends (although please don't end it on account of this reading!!) and from there on, life settles down a lot. You find peace and things are a lot cruisier. I do believe you make the right decision whatever it is.

I would never encourage someone to break up a relationship based on a Tarot reading and with the limited information you gave me I don't even know if you are married or indeed in a relationship at all. Please think things through and if you do have a woman or friend you can talk to, do so. But whatever decision you make, the difficult times do come to an end and I see a lot more peace and easier times for you. Temperance also means communication so there is that chance that you manage to get past the conflict and arguments and communicate better and solve the issues that way. I've written what I feel is in the cards, but I'm writing this 'disclaimer' if you like, because I do have clients who would act on my readings without thinking things through, without seeing if there is another meaning or indeed considering the fact that I may indeed be wrong. So yeah, just that little word of caution there. :)

New Year's spread for Andrea W

Focus – Two of Cups – Your focus will be on relationships. Both on the possibility of a new relationship, and the arrangements within existing relationships…

Desire – Five of Pentacles – Your desire is to recover financially and also to regain your confidence in yourself.

Romance – Temperance – You will need to find balance and communication within a relationship. There is a potential here for peace and cooperation if you are both prepared to try and achieve this.

The Unexpected – The Lovers – You will have an unexpected decision to make that involves love and relationships. This card usually involves three people, yourself and two others. Step very carefully…

Others – The Hermit – You will have a lot of alone time this year, but be patient, things will improve. The Hermit suggests that by taking things slowly you’ll end up with more mature, long-term friends. If you rush to surround yourself with people, you will find that too many of them will be 'fair weather' friends.

The Home – Five of Swords – Be careful not to take on too much. The Five of Swords warns that you need to live within your capabilities and if you’ve taken on too much, don’t let pride keep you from admitting it – take a step back and try again.

Travel – The Wheel of Fortune – The Wheel of Fortune brings sudden changes, for good or for bad. You may find that suddenly travel is a real possibility when it seemed like all was lost, or it might be that plans suddenly have to be cancelled…

Papers – The Lovers – The Lovers in this position suggests that you will receive papers to do with a relationship, forcing you to make a decision or regarding a decision that you have made. The finalisation of your divorce and receiving the divorce papers would fit well here.

Work/Career – Five of Swords - As with your home life, you need to be very careful about not taking on more than you can chew at work. If things get too much for you, don’t be too proud or afraid to walk away or ask for help.

Unions – Judgement – Judgement is a card that suggests that you will see the results of decisions you have made in the past. It’s about looking back, seeing where you went wrong, what you did right, then preparing for the future.

Emotional State – Death – Death indicates the end of something in your life. A lot of people who get this card find it difficult to let go and the very name of the card suggests mourning or grieving for what you’ve lost. However, the card suggests that if you focus on the idea that it needed to end in order for you to be able to move on to the future that awaits you, you can start looking forward. So for ‘emotional state’, this is two-fold – a time of grieving and a time of acceptance. For many people, this card signifies 'the end of an era' - an acknowledgement that life will be different now.
Death does NOT signify that a person will die.

Pleasure – Four of Wands – There will be success and celebration on a small scale for you. Perhaps something that you have worked at, maybe something creative? You might find your pleasure in the little things this year - an afternoon with your son, a picture you painted, an evening with friends...

News – Ace of Wands and Ten of Cups – The Ace of Wands fell out of the deck. This card brings energy and adventure. It also brings hope and stops you from being bored. Ooh, sounds like exciting news! The Ten of Cups suggests news of a wedding or similar...

Family – Four of Wands – This is a happy card, bringing the beginnings of success and encouragement for the future. This is a card that says ‘See, I can do it!’

The Physical Body – Queen of Cups – The Queen of Cups is a very feminine woman who likes things that are feminine and sexy. This could represent you finding more confidence in your physical self or becoming happier about who you are and what you look like...

Finances – King of Pentacles – This is a really good financial card, suggesting that you will learn to handle your finances more effectively and with more confidence. There is definite potential for financial improvement with this card.

Time – The Star – The Star is a card of hope, of things working out after everything has fallen apart. To me, in the position of ‘time’, this suggests a similar meaning to the Hermit – have patience, everything will work out if you give it some time...

Friends – Three of Cups – I believe one of your friends will get married or have a baby this year. Perhaps this is linked to the ‘news’ one. :)

Visitors/Callers – The Hanged Man – You have made a choice and part of that involves sacrifice. We saw already that you would have a fair bit of time alone this year and I think the Hanged Man suggests that too – that the choices you have made mean that you will have less visitors or callers this year...

Mail – The Lovers – With this card in ‘papers’ and in ‘mail’, I’d suggest they are the same thing. You will receive some papers in the mail that relate to a relationship and a choice you have to make (or have made). I strongly feel that this is connected to your divorce papers, but it is possible that it could be something else.

Anxiety – King of Wands – You are afraid of change. The King of Wands suggests change in your life and your environment and whether it is the change itself or the fear of the unknown, these developments cause some anxiety for you...

Disappointment – Two of Pentacles – The Two of Pentacles suggests someone who is good with money, particularly good at saving money. We saw already that the King of Pentacles brings you good fortune, but I’m guessing there is a tough time to get through first and/or things improve too slowly for your liking - the Two of Pentacles is about gradual improvements.

Endings – Page of Pentacles – Okay, so maybe I was mistaken with the above card. Both the Page of Pentacles and the Two of Pentacles talk about small sums of money coming in that could be really useful to you if you saved them up and made good use of them. It appears that there is a end to this income, and that is what causes your disappointment?

New Beginnings – King of Wands – Again, we see change. Change in your life and in your environment. This is where your anxiety lies, remember, so it is obviously a fairly major change for you to adapt to, but it is a new beginning and I believe a promising one. ‘If [the King of Wands] enters one’s life it is not by chance, but is rather an augury of one’s own need for development.’ This change is good for you in the long run. It could well represent moving house or major changes within your home and surroundings...

Inheritance – Judgement – For you inheritance is not something that you will receive from others, but from yourself. You have final say over your life, so things are under your control. That means that if you make bad decisions, you suffer the consequences. If you make good decisions, you will see the rewards and benefits. While this removes the element of luck and fortune as such, it also leaves you free from most external negative influences too...

The above was done in the first week of January 2006. The rest below was done in the first week of February 2006.

Rewards/Gifts – Ten of Cups - Your gift in 2006 will be that sense of contentment you've been looking for. I do believe this card indicates you will finally find that. And with it, will come a sense of security and a settling down... You have a very chaotic, unsettled time and in more than ways than one, the rug has been well and truly pulled from beneath your feet. The Ten of Cups brings back that feeling of security and contentment and that feeling of 'home'...

Success - Six of Swords - This card in this position has a very similar meaning to the one above. Your success will be your triumph over your challenges and over the obstacles life keeps throwing in your way. The Six of Swords might herald a difficult stage, but it also finishes that with a time of peace.

Fortune - Page of Wands - The Page of Wands seems to signify changes in the workplace. You might sense something is afoot some time before anything actually happens. These changes should be positive for you. You might find they keep you quite busy, both in regards to time and in regards to your thoughts - you will have to knuckle down and concentrate!

Blessings - Ten of Cups, Eight of Cups and The Empress - It is interesting that you have the same card (the Ten of Cups) in 'rewards/gifts' and in 'blessings', is it not? It adds extra meaning to that card though when it is coupled with the Eight of Cups and The Empress. The Eight of Cups represents saying goodbye to a relationship and walking away. Putting it behind you. I can see how that would work with the Ten of Cups to bring you peace and closure. The Empress can also bring peace, particularly after a time of mourning. The Empress has trouble letting go - no matter how much her mind tells her it is the best thing to do, her heart mourns for what she had and has lost. She does bring peace and new life after that period of mourning though, and these seem particularly apt for you.
Interestingly, the Ten of Cups often signifies marriage and the Empress often signifies the birth of a baby or a pregnancy, but I do not feel that these are applicable for you in 2006.

Special Guidance - Two of Swords - The Two of Swords suggests again that you have a fear of change, a fear of the unknown. This card tells us that your advice for 2006 is that instead of letting the tension build up to unbearable proportions, go out and face your fears. You are letting life boss you around, just waiting for things to happen and then living your life as dictated. Instead, you need to take charge...don't wait for life to slowly limit your choices until you have only one course of action left...make a choice while there are still choices to be made! Seize the moment! Ha ha... :) You need to be more affirmative and more 'take charge'. Be in control of your life.

Best Course of Action - Page of Swords - The Page of Swords is like a little kid - just starting to figure things out for himself. There are a few traits to this card, including being the victim of gossip, being a bit petty or childish and also, learning to be independent and think for oneself. 'these things reflect the emergence of new ideas and true independent thinking - often in one who has been accustomed to accepting the views of others'. I do believe that the Page of Swords shows that you are starting to make your own decision and take control and be independent in a way you've never been able to before. As far as your 'best course of action', don't let others bring you down, don't let a wrong decision or a bad choice set you back, take charge, be independent and be proud of it.

Outcome - Five of Swords - 2006 is all about figuring out who Andrea is, what she can do, what she is capable of... There will be disappointments, mistakes and setbacks. If you take on more than you can chew, don't be afraid or too proud to step back from the situation. And don't let those setbacks stop you from trying again. You might not be able to do all that you set out to do, but if you don't try, you definitely won't succeed. And so while 2006 has its share of disappointments, mistakes and setbacks, it also has its share of successes, triumphs and joy. Good luck. :)

This was an experiment. I liked the look of this spread, but didn't like the idea that each card could only go in one of the positions... So instead of dealing 32 cards, I dealt one card for 'Focus', put the card back in the deck, reshuffled, dealt a card for 'Desire', put the card back in the deck, reshuffled, etc. I think it worked out okay... Because there were so many cards to read, I only did a short description for each position...

New Year's spread for Rebekah C

Focus - Strength - Your focus for 2006 is on the way you approach difficult situations. The card of Strength has two sides...one that tells you that you need to learn to control your reactions, control your anger and learn to act, not react...and the other side says that you need courage and strength to stand and fight, not to run away from things that scare you. So your focus for 2006 is on the way you act (not react!) in difficult situations.

Desire - Eight of Cups - Okay, I'm going to admit that I'm really rather baffled by this card in this position. The Eight of Cups suggests that you have to face the truth - it's not going to happen. So maybe you will come to realise that something you desire is not going to eventuate... But this doesn't seem to fit too well with the rest of your cards, unless it goes with The Hanged Man in the 'Endings' category and symbolises the thing that you will have to sacrifice...?

Romance - Seven of Swords - You need to approach your romance and your relationship in a different way this year. The Seven of Swords suggests that if you try being sweet and lovely and adoring, you will get better results than if you tackle issues head-on.

The Unexpected - Six of Cups - I think something from your past will surprise you. I'll leave it at that, so as not to spoil the surprise. :)

Others - Nine of Cups - This card could have a number of meanings in this position. You may find that someone close to you gets married. There is also the possibility that someone close to you shows their love in a special way. Or both. :) I'm not promising a proposal! Especially after the Eight of Cups! :D

The Home - The Empress - This is a card of family, particularly focusing on your children. Your home life will center around your children this year.

Travel - Six of Cups - I don't see a lot of travel for you, but there might be some short journeys. Maybe to somewhere near the sea (I know, when you live in an island country like New Zealand, that's not helpful - everywhere is near the sea!). I suspect it is somewhere you have been before, not a new place.

Papers - Two of Wands - There is a new project here. Maybe new studies? A new qualification of some sort? This could also relate to the magazines and you being published...

Work/Career - The Emperor - The Emperor is really good for starting a new business and building something up so that it is strong and will last. I see this as a really good card for your business, particularly as you are just starting. The Emperor is just the guy you need. :)

Unions - Page of Cups - The Page of Cups suggests that after a difficult stage, things will start to settle down and you will feel able to open up and start again...

Emotional State - Ace of Pentacles - You have a lot of energy in 2006, but you mostly channel this in to your work. Your emotions are really tied up in your business and your creations this year.

Pleasure - Knight of Pentacles - There is a young man in your life, who is hard working and who isn't in to partying hard. We've seen him before in your spreads. :) He is the one who brings you pleasure in 2006.

News - Six of Swords - You might hear some news that surprises you, maybe even upsets you. You need to try to stay calm and be understanding so that the situation can work itself out for the best. Don't rush in headfirst, take it slowly and think things through carefully before acting on the news.

Family - The Star - Have faith. Your family has been through some tough times, but things will work out. If you have hope, and you keep trying, don't give up, things will work out.

The Physical Body - Seven of Cups - If you take care of yourself, things should be okay, health wise. Your emotions tend to have a big impact on your health, so if you can keep the rest of your life in order, this should fall in to place too. :)

Finances - King of Cups - This isn't a card of riches or wealth. However, I believe that you will find that finances aren't such a big issue for you in 2006. Your focus is on feeling better, proving yourself and celebrating your personal acheivements.

Time - The World - The World is a card of achievement and completion. So while 'time' is a strange category, this card seems to say that you will have enough time to achieve your goals and do what you need to do.

Friends - The Hierophant - You will have a friend who will act as a mentor, an advisor. They will offer quiet, sensible advice and listen to you. This is likely to be a quiet, more serious person.

Visitors/Callers - Ace of Pentacles - Someone will come visit bringing money and/or financial opportunity for you. In your line of work, this could be new ideas and inspirations that sell well, ideas for the business, financial guidance, financial assistance... They may not bring real money with them to give to you, but their visit will help you financially.

Mail - Six of Cups - It appears that you will receive mail from someone in your past... This could link in very nicely with 'The Unexpected'... :D

Anxiety - The Devil - It is time to let go of your fears. You know in your heart that they are holding you back and stopping you from taking advantage of all the things that are available to you. You need to face them, acknowledge them and fight them. It is your fears and worries that create issues in other areas of your life...

Disappointment - The Wheel of Fortune - If you were hoping everything would suddenly, miraculously become wonderful and perfect, you definitely are going to be disappointed. :) There is no quick fix, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like you're going to win Lotto. Hey, maybe that means I will... :P

Endings - The Hanged Man - You will have to sacrifice something in order to do something else... You know the saying that 'when one door closes, another door opens'? This is the moral of The Hanged Man...

New Beginnings - The Hanged Man - Ta da! You see, The Hanged Man is both the end of one thing and the beginning of another...

Inheritance - Six of Wands - This year, you will receive real recognition from someone close to you. To me, I usually see inheritance coming from a parent or grandparent or another older relative, yeah? So an older relative is finally going to recognise the amazing work you do, the talent you have... It may not be in a really clear 'Wow, I finally see how talented you are!' way, but it will be there if you look...

Rewards/Gifts - Eight of Wands - Your gift in 2006, or your reward if you like, will be the removal of a lot of the obstacles that were standing in the way of your creativity. The Eight of Wands is a card that really gives you a clear path to create, create, create!

Success - Wheel of Fortune - Remember how I said you weren't going to win Lotto? Well, you're not, but things are slowly looking up for you. You will make your own successes in 2006. I really feel that you will achieve satisfaction.

Fortune - Judgement - Like the previous card, Judgement suggests you make your own fortune. If you work hard, you will see the results. If you slack off and expect life to hand it all to you on a silver platter, you won't see any results at all...

Blessings - The Devil - A strange card to have in this position. What causes you anxiety also bring you blessing... So. To me, this means one of two things... That your anxiety lies in something that is really a good thing in your life but perhaps you don't see it that way... Or your blessing is that you manage to overcome your fears and anxiety... I guess you'll have to wait and see which. :)

Special Guidance - Four of Wands - Wow, there is a real focus on creativity in 2006, isn't there? Your special guidance is to focus on your creations, on your creativity... This year will bring you so much if you can devote some real time and energy to your passion...

Best Course of Action - King of Swords - 'an individual who is striking by virtue of his mental gifts'...'inspired ideas about how to develop things in the future'... I know I sound like a broken record, but if you can try to focus and not let yourself get distracted...if you are determined and dedicated and really work at it...that's what will take you a long way this year...

Outcome - Four of Swords - I think you will find this year much calmer, especially emotionally. The Four of Swords is also a card of preparation for the future and I think that this year will be a great step towards that better future you want so much. This year, if you can just put the hard yards in, will take you a long way. This is a great year for you. There is so much energy, so much creative inspiration... Don't waste this.

Snapshot Relationship Spread for Rebekah C

How things stand at the moment - Six of Cups - You've had a difficult time in the past, but just at the moment there is some peace. Perhaps you've called a truce? Perhaps there has been some communication or understanding. Looking back, can you see where you went wrong, where things started getting bad? This time of peace is a good time to look at the relationship and see things clearly while you are not overwhelmed with emotion...

What your head is telling you about the relationship; what you 'think' you should be feeling - Four of Wands - You believe that he should be more supportive of your goals, your talents and the things you do. You sense that you've barely started and already it is causing issues, so how does that bode for the future?

What your heart is telling you about the relationship; how you really feel - Queen of Swords - You are afraid of being hurt, and so you don't make it easy for him. You don't want to be the one to give in and put your heart on the line just in case he throws it back in your face. But with both of you refusing to show your true feelings, how can the relationship grow? You want him to be perfect, because you're afraid that a real man with real problems and faults might not always do what is best for you... he might hurt you. So you want him to be perfect so he won't ever hurt you, but that's not realistic. No man is perfect. You are dreaming of that perfect relationship, but that is not realistic. A good relationship, a happy relationship, a committed relationship, but not a perfect one, they only happen in movies.

The impression you're giving to the other person involved - Two of Cups - He believes you want to be together, which is a start. To him though, it looks more like you want him, maybe you like him, but he's not so sure that you truly love him. He still needs convincing.

What the other person's head is telling them about the relationship; what they 'think' they should be feeling - The Hanged Man - He is wary of committing to the relationship, possibly because he isn't sure if you truly love him, as we saw above. But he believes that there is something worth staying for. He is staying because he thinks it is better than walking away, but he is still not sure about what the future holds and if he has made the right choices.

What the other person's Heart is telling them about the relationship; how they realy feel - The Wheel of Fortune - He believes the two of you are meant to be together. He may not believe in fate or destiny, but he believes that the two of you are supposed to be together.

The impression they give you - The Hierophant - To you, it looks as though his emotions aren't really involved. You see that he has made a decision to be with you, but you don't see any evidence that he loves you, that he can't live without you, that he believes the two of you are meant to be together... You don't feel he loves you as much as you love him.

Where things are headed - The Eight of Wands - For the near future at least, there is a time of relative peace. It is a good time to get things done. This card sometimes brings travel and it is good for creativity. This is a good time to enjoy just being together. Try to enjoy this time...

Conclusion:- This reading has a very clear message, as I see it. You are both committed to this relationship, you are both in love, you both want to be together. But neither of you are prepared to show that to the other person. You both give up too easily when something goes wrong, beacuse you both believe it is better to be the person that walks away, not the person left behind. The problem is, there will never be a time when your lives are perfect and nothing ever goes wrong. No one has that, it's not realistic. So you need to learn to show your love, to be prepared to stick with each other through the good and the bad. Don't walk away every time it gets tough. One of you has to give in and be the one to put everything on the line or you'll keep going through this every time.

Finding Your Soulmate spread for Nicky C

What your soulmate is like: King of Wands - Your King of Wands will be a handsome man. He is likely to be an authoritative figure, a natural leader. He is exciting, outgoing and fun to be around most of the time. He's likely to be one of those 'you love him or hate him' types, because he can also be bad tempered, arrogant and impatient. He doesn't like to lose. He loves women and can be very charming, which means he is probably very experienced (if you know what I mean) but he should be faithful whilst in a relationship. He is generally good at anything he tries, with a keen intelligence and natural athleticism. Be wary of trying to domesticate the King of Wands. He finds the quiet home life boring and will get restless. He thrives on adventure and action, so sitting around at home is not his cup of tea.

The situation in which you will meet your soulmate: Five of Pentacles - You will meet your King of Wands at a difficult period in your life. You are likely to have suffered some form of loss or hardship. This is probably not a death or similar tragedy, but more likely to be a financial or material loss or hardship. It may be difficult for you to feel positive and chances are that you won't be in the mood for a relationship, but life doesn't always go according to plan.

How to approach/charm your soulmate: Ace of Pentacles - Your King of Wands appreciates challenge, success and being in control. You may not feel inclined to share your failures and difficulties with him, but he is both able to help and will enjoy doing so. See it as something rather like the Knight in Shining Armour complex - he will enjoy showing you how clever and successful he is. Asking him for advice and letting him come to your rescue is the perfect way to get his attention - appeal to his ego.

Advice: Justice - Your King of Wands is not the sentimental lovey-dovey type, and as I said earlier, he is not particularly in to the domestic scene, so don't expect the whole domestic bliss, mortgage and 2.5 kids thing with him. He will enjoy going out with you, doing activities that stimulate and interest him and you, going on travels and adventures and trying new things. So while things may not be 'normal' in your household, things won't be boring either. :) He can be a little overpowering and dominating, so be careful not to let him rule you too much. While he will enjoy being the head of the family and in charge, be sure to stand up for yourself when it matters to you. The trick is not to stand up to him on principal, but when the outcome matters to you. He is more likely to give in on those occassions if they don't come too often and after all, is it better to win every argument and have him grumpy all the time or to only win when you really care about the issue?

Conclusion:- Your soulmate is a King of Wands, definitely not a man suited to everyone's tastes. On the positive side, he is exciting, outgoing and fun to be around most of the time. Women will envy you. On the negative side, he can be bad tempered (especially when he loses), arrogant and impatient. You will meet him at a time of financial or material loss or hardship, probably when you are feeling a bit down and depressed about the future. Appeal to his ego and get him to help you sort out the mess. He will thrive on the challenge and will enjoy coming to your rescue. While your soulmate isn't the domestic type, he will enjoy going out with you, doing stuff as a couple so long as it isn't too boring. Be careful not to let him dominate you too much, but choose your battles wisely. While life with a King of Wands won't be your traditional dream relationship, he will be a fun, exciting and charming companion.

Numerology Reading (2004, 2005, 2006) for Rebekah C

Significator – The High Priestess – The High Priestess has seen her share of the darker side of life and she is usually more street smart than most. She understands the world is not all sweetness and light, even if we’d like it to be. She has her secrets and these may not be revealed even to those closest to her. The High Priestess is a believer in fate and destiny and probably leans towards the less mainstream spirituality – dreams, tarot, etc. Unlike the Hierophant who wants to know how something works and needs clear, specific answers, the High Priestess knows that just because you can’t see something at work, doesn’t mean it isn’t there. She doesn’t always have an explanation, but often understands things intuitively.

2004 – The Empress and The Hermit – 2004 is a good year for home and family. The Empress loves growth and security – children, animals, homes, marriages, these are all parts of your life that she takes an interest in and is keen on helping with. The Empress likes the simple life and 2004 is likely to be a quiet, calm year for you. Try not to get stuck in a rut though – there is change ahead and you need to be ready to accept it when it arrives. The Hermit is a symbol of time and patience, and a forewarning of change ahead. So while 2004 should be a calm, uneventful year, the year after may hold some surprises. Use your time wisely.

2005 – The Wheel of Fortune and The Emperor – The Wheel of Fortune brings a change in your life – for good or for bad. It is just the beginning of another stage in your life, but you may see it as luck (good or bad).
The Emperor likes to be in charge and in control. This is a good year to create something of your own – to own or build your own home, to start a family, to start or own your own business... The Emperor doesn’t like to admit when he’s wrong or made a mistake, so be wary of being too arrogant this year. Although you may try to follow all the rules and do the right thing, no one is perfect, so admitting that you are human is okay. And try to keep your temper under control. Watch out for those less fortunate than yourself, you are in a good position to assist others this year.
If you have issues with authority, this could be a hard year for you.

2006 – The Hanged Man and The High Priestess – 2006 could be a year of highs and lows. While the majority of the year may be calm and ordinary, there may be a few months where life turns upside down and you may feel out of your depth. While you have support around you, it may be an idea to keep your own counsel – try to avoid sharing your dramas with too many others or it may come back to haunt you later on. Even though things are likely to be very confusing at times, know that everything will work itself out in its own time. A little bit of patience will see you through the darker times and before you know it, things will be right again. The Hanged Man says that sometimes sacrifices need to be made, and you can’t always know if your sacrifice will reap the rewards you hope, but you need to have faith and know that you cannot gain without taking that risk. Sometimes that sacrifice might be a real tangible thing that gives you a sense of security, sometimes it is a dream or an attitude that you must let go of in order for destiny to progress. 2006 is a good year for you to follow your intuition – if it feels right, do it.
