Cari,
I do appreciate you letting me take part in this reading. I have tried to let my intuition take over in studying the reading but I don't know if I am in any way accelerate. Let me know how this is really turning out. I will get the third part shortly.

This is my interpretation for the second reading. May the arrow make its mark.


The Reversal cards are only modification for the meaning of the card. I am using a relationship spared. Seven cards the first card is self, 2 Self-Undoing, 3 Higher Power, 4 Advice, 5 Close Contact, 6 Allies, and 7 Protinual.

The Hierophant reversed on self; He is endanger of jumping the broom to soon if he throws caution to the wind. He does not want to hear the advice of others. He’s concerned with his own feeling or agenda.
The Four of Wands reversed on undoing; He is getting advice from all sides and becoming anxious. He is losing control over his own Problem – solving skills.

The Lovers on Higher Power reversed; He is under the conclusion that; we can just work it out; without considering the consequents first or even knowing what the consequent is.

Now here we come to the center of the spared, advice. The moon reversed is disillusionment what both sides are facing; although the confusion may be lessen in some way.

The World on Close Contact; It seems to be turning point shared interests drown from the relationship. Could it be that Romeo and Juliet have found common ground or realizing that both sides have had bad experiences?
Ace of Swords on Allies, is he misusing reason to make what he wants to be true in away like trying to put a cloud in his pocket? The Ace of Swords in this position has to do with helping and enriching each other. But if it is thumbs’ down on one side or the other then feeling will be hurt.

The last card for Potential is the Ace of Cups. If he truly loves his lass then he will try to first put his own feeling aside. He will help her overcome her fears and take down the walls she has put up to defend herself. The Ace of Cups is a cup of healing.

Hi Cari,

As you know, I'm JUST A BEGINNER, but I'll take a crack..    Thanks for explaining the positions! Since the question still didn't feel very specific - these are just the feelings I had.

One of the first things I found interesting about the spread was the progression of  "energy" - cups to swords to wands to pentacles with a little "Major Arcana" sprinkled in!    Makes a good recipe!

Like you - I also had the feeling that things were really lovely at the beginning of the relationship.  Feels like they were "basking in love" and "poof" someone started "thinking" and out came the swords.     -  disappointments, sadness, disillusionment and then stalemate and more stalemate, stopped talking. communicating, showing true feelings.. 2 and 3 of Swords are reversed BUT I don't have the feeling that the issues they represent are really RESOLVED - I don't feel any "clearing the air" or "forgiveness" . (Maybe things just got "shoved under the carpet" for the sake of peace or to save face?")

Of course - nobody wants to remain in this "icky" state so desire to move forward - here comes the Knight of Wands. Since Knights are about movement and in this case we have a Wand - it feels like your querent definitely seeks "change" and has some "new idea" or plan for doing so. BUT as the Knight - it's like HIS HORSE is pointing forward, but HE'S still looking backward - this makes the "new idea" feel more like a "scheme or plot" if you understand what I mean - is there a desire for "revenge" somewhere?
 
For me, the "deception" you mentioned as having taken place in the past appears with the reversed Magician.  The "standard words" like "cunning and trickery" came up but my feeling is more like "using ones gifts for the wrong purposes" .  It's easy to manipulate or pull the wool over the eyes of those who love us.  

Taking this approach COULD lead to what the reversed 5 of Pentacles is suggesting: gain, but through  "negative means" , material instability (not a "happy home"/money problems), harming the things we value, making our foundations "unsettled". In any case - there's no real "satisfaction" to be gained here - certainly no love either.  

That's it Cari - hope everything is clear.  Again - I'm just learning so I'd appreciate your feedback as well.  I'm sure that some of our classmates will also respond - we've got some "real ACES" in this class  - so reading their posts will be fun for BOTH of us!!  If I have time, I'll look at the other two readings you've done as well.

Until then, wishing you lots of love and light "back"l!

Bitterseed,

You are right that he is not listening to anyone's advice and that he is jumping before he looks.  A few people have told him to stay away from her but he wants answers and possible a future with her.  I think that the cards are saying that if he continues with her, she will only end up hurting him.  I wish I could convince him to see this, but I can only stand by and watch.  I think that the Ace of Swords is saying that only heartache will come out of this but if he takes the other path it would be better for him, therefore the Ace of Cups.  The Lovers reversed shows that it's not the relationship he thinks it is.  I believe that it's a karmic lesson he needs to learn due to the major arcana cards, but like every lesson, it's his choice whether or not he wants to learn it and break the cycle, or continue on this path.

Weezer,

I agree with the lack of communication and stalemate.  That is where they seem to be at the moment.  There is a lot hidden.  I just think that he doesn't really want to see the truth of the situation and that is what the cards are saying.  I think that you're right on point when you say there won't be any satisfaction or love in this situation.

Hi Cari,

Well, who knows?    One thing I like about the cards is that they just give us the  "possibles and probables" if we choose a certain path - perhaps there's still time to change course if he really wants to.

Warmest,
W.-
