Question : What does the future hold for me in the next future regarding a love relationship ?
Layout used : the horseshoe spread (a 7 cards layout)
This should reflect what is going to happen in the next 3 months or so.
The past : the 10 of Cups
The present : the Queen of Cups
The next future : the Judgment
The answer : 7 of Wands
The surrounding energies : the 3 of Pentacles
The attitude : 7 of Pentacles
The outcome : the World
First of all, I was mostly surprised I had no reversed cards. I mean, the last times I did phrase that question for relationship readings I had mostly “negative” cards, and some of them reversed, and yes, it was accurate. Right on target.
Like, I always had the 9 of wands, which really reflected on my situation : being on my guard, or being afraid to be caught off guard, to the very least a state of caution regarding relationships, due to my past experience. This card was a recurrent one, and I don’t do readings for myself every week, most of the time I leave several months in between. I do think it is quite useless to ask the same question every week when it is about such an important matter. You have to leave some time in between readings in order to let your life evolves. The cards answers just won’t be relevant, if one ask the same question every 2 days or so.
The past with the 10 of cups is reflecting my parents, the family unit. I’m not in a relationship and the last one I had was surely not in the same spirit of that 10 of cups. So the past cards which refers to the last 2 years or so, means that love received was coming from my own family. (Maybe it shows what I hope for.)
The present :The Queen of Cups
It is the first time I’m represented by this Queen. This Queen is intuitive, emotional, sensitive, caring. More the kind to base her judgments on how she feels. I guess here it shows that I now center my life around the emotional quality which I try to achieve.
Even though I have my bills to pay just like anyone, the quality of my life is not based on the material aspect of it.
The fact that I’m now involved in the making of this blog may also be the creativity and the intuition side of this Queen. Indeed, I look at symbolism a lot right now, in paintings, sculptures or photographies, I’ve always been a very visual kind of person, but I felt it went to another degree recently. My imagination is going to another level, may I say.
Unlike in my 9 of wands period, I’m able to face the emotional pain in a different way. My emotional strength is in full swing now. I’m waiting patiently for an opportunity.
The next future : The Judgment
Self knowledge again here. This Major Arcana may also speak of spirituality.
Could it be that I’m actually cleansing from the hurt. Seems to me. I may have the opportunity to close this chapter for good and move on. Whether I’ll meet someone or not is unclear to me, but nevertheless this will be an important chapter in my life and a beneficial one. I’m going to feel “alive” again.
The surrounding energies : the 3 of pentacles
Studying, attending a course … Well, here it is related to my work, and also my daily process of learning the tarot. Solid foundations. I focus on what is going to be important in my life.
The attitude : 7 of pentacles
I’m thinking about where life is taking me, realizing that certain things may take time before I will enjoy the outcome. Once again here, I see it more related to my job and my tarot learning process. Might mean that this aspect will be the focus, and not a relationship. And that’s actually a bit how I feel, there’s no rush. I mean I also like the benefit one might enjoy as being single.
The outcome : the World
Becoming a whole through my past experiences. I’ll overcome the obstacles. Reaching another level of awareness.
The answer : 7 of wands
the competition card. Firstly, I had no idea. I draw a total blank. Just like this card wasn’t related to the others in the layout. I couldn’t relate it to the others in a storyline. It was a bit like watching tv and then without warning someone is changing the channel. So, I let it for a while and looked at the draw again. Some difficulties will be on the way, but with the support of the World card as the outcome, I should be able to rise above those problems gracefully.
Note: This just crossed my mind, it is also the ability to say “no”. Indeed, I didn’t respond to my ex, as he once again tried to contact me. I answered my mobile and when I figured it was him on the other side of the line, I didn’t continue the conversation. (He hid his number, so I didn’t acknowledge it was him at first, other while I wouldn’t have even bothered to respond in the first place). So a firm “No” will help me to reach what the card “World” is showing.
Conclusion : Meeting someone is not what I see in this draw, more connecting with myself and the fulfillment of that. All in all, a very good period in on the way for me.
