Hi Cedars,

Thank you for the time you spent doing the reading. I do appreciate it. As I read it, it did not completely resonate with me (perhaps because I had a specific thought in mind while first reading it), but I can totally understand that my question may have been too vague. I did that purposefully because I just wanted to see what you would get. Keeping that in mind, I tried to view it with an open mind, and some of what you said did make sense to me. While keeping things in the time frame of when I posted the request, your reading did make sense and was true to what was in my heart at the time and perhaps even now though I have come to some resolve. It's a rather personal thing, but I did want to say thank you. I'll take the positive notes from it and just try to live and be. That's what made me happy once...Renewal.

Hi Suzisco,

I will be happy to do a reading for you and I hope you can relate to it with regard to your question.

I am using the RW original deck.

YOU: EIGHT OF SWORDS.
You find yourself trapped, encircled by obstacles and no where to go. This may not necessarily mean the road ahead is closed, but you, in your mind, are blind to it. You are looking at your current situation and that is crippling you as far as what lies ahead. If you could only open your eyes (or take the blindfold off) you will see it is not all that difficult to rid yourself from what seems like a debilitating situation.

POSITIVE INFLUENCES: KNIGHT OF WANDS.
Someone in your life (a male) who is quite enthusiastic, energetic and full of bright ideas, almost like the knight  in shining armour, may sweep you off your feet. He is charistmatic, he dresses well and may take you away on a trip or give you the opportunity to travel. This person can also be a work colleague, who will open up new opportunities for you at the workplace, making your dreams come true. I am not sure if he is staying in your life or just passing through adding some much-needed inspiration and energy into your life. But whether he is staying or passing through, make use of his qualities and also beware of his silver tongue; he may be full of hot air sometimes - only in regard to his words. Take from him what your gut tells you is believable and reject what is not.

NEGATIVE INFLUENCES: TWO OF CUPS.
Is a situation of union of hearts or minds having a negative impact on you? This card stands for the union of two people in love, or the re-union of two people. It could also mean good health, but I dont see why the latter would be a negative influence on you. If this is a current affair/relationship that is having a negative impact on you, I would caution you to act carefully and minimise your pain. It could also be a relationship with a close friend that is having a negative influence on your life.

MESSAGE FROM THE TAROT: NINE OF SWORDS.
Okay. The sleepless night card again. The one that makes one wake up in the middle of the night and almost drives them to tears; worried and scared about something. This by way of a message from the tarot, I would be tempted to relate to the Knight and the following card Two of Cups. I would like to say if there are personal issues around you, sort them out before you reach to the stage of Nine of Swords. Things may be inevitable in life at times and should you go through those periods of waking up in the middle of the night, just be aware that it is not there to stay forever in your life.

OUTCOME: ACE OF CUPS.
The start of everything that has to do with emotions, feelings flowing into your life like water and reaching where it is needed. This is the card which shows the beginnings of all that is pleasing to the heart; it could be a new love, new affair or a new invovlement with somone that will benefit you see the right path for you in terms of making the right choices . It is the card of possiblities, albeit in its early stages, but coming your way. The trees may shed their leaves during the months of autumn, but I feel you wont be shedding any tears.

I hope this struck a chord with what you were asking.

Appreciate your feedback.

Many thanks
Cedars

Thank you very much for the reading.  Some of it I believe is accurate, i do feel trapped but thats because of my illness and until I get treatment its difficult to look past it.  I'm unsure who the knight is but i am looking forwards to being swept of my feet.  I am really unsure about the 2 of cups.  I don't do close relationships with many people, I really want good health and so not sure what thats about.

The nine of swords, I don't always sleep well so thats a constant in my life.  Generally don't sleep well due to physical pain as opposed to emotional distress.  I am going through a period of readustment and change so perhaps thats what that is about.  I can't move on until the hospital tests are completed and treatment comences.  i don't plan on making any life changes until next summer when i enrol back at uni.

So I think it looks like my plans a goer and I am going to do as i've mapped out, looks like i am going to get some help on my way too so thats a bonus.

Thank you very much Cedars for your reading it was very kind of you.

Hi Cedars and Suzi, Lovely reading.  

I have just a couple of comments to make to Cedars to get you thinking... The Kinght of Wands - don't forget that the Court cards don't always have to be people, they can also show sides of our personalities, so it could be that Suzi's positive influence is her daring and go ahead 'knight' personality? If you think about that aspect it changes things a bit?  And the Two of Cups in a negative position, sometimes it is better to read a negative position as a reversal and see the meaning that way than trying to fit the upright meaning to a negative scenario? On the other hand sometimes it is better not to use the term 'negative' as some can see this as 'bad', perhaps try helpful and hindering or blocking, or areas to watch?

Maybe changing some of the postion titles may help get a more accurate picture or answer to some of the questions too?

You know you are a great reader and doing very well

And Suzi thanks xx

cheers Gem
