Hello Rosemary,
Although I am myself a regular contributor to these boards, I do recognise that people still have their own lives to live beyond these forums (no matter how wonderful and greatly appreciated this site is), and that nobody least of all you my friend should feel guilty if time gets away from you now and then. Better late than never, I say. Readings of the type given on this board are believed to refer to a period of the next six months or so. I would therefore suggest that you should try requesting another at the very beginning of the next financial year (July 1st or thereabouts).
And immediately on looking at your cards for this general reading, I not only find that quite a lot has happened since we last talked to each other (some positive, some not), but that if you believed your life was hectic and confusing up until now, then you really haven't seen anything yet. It appears that you are currently in a holding pattern or temporary resting period that you should I feel take maximum advantage of, as there are no further rest stops in sight for at least the next few hundred miles (or kilometres). In other words make the most of this time to catch your breath, as soon you will be looking back at this time of recharging your spiritual batteries with only fond memories, wishing that you were back there now.
There is a great potential for a significant improvement in your relationships with those people closest to you during the first half of 2008. While not everything is going to be love and light between you and there are going to continue to be differences of opinion, overall your cards are a very positive omen for you either starting or deepening existing relationships in early 2008. There is a lot of promise being held out to you, but without making the necessary effort to communicate more effectively with each other and being willing to compromise at times in order to keep the peace, these promises could all too easily become empty ones. It is consequently up to you to decide whether or not these general promises have any personal significance for you as an individual.
In addition to feeling as though you are stuck and that nothing much currently seems to be happening on the surface of your life, there is a suggestion that you might feel that when anything goes well or as expected that it is all too good to be true, and that therefore it must all fall apart sometime soon as you feel you do not deserve this happiness and success. You may also possibly be taking on the responsibilities of other people as your own, on top of your own doubts and fears, and by doing this you are denying them the opportunity to learn what is in their best interests to learn to do for themselves. Because of your own strong need to feel needed, you are tending to make these people increasingly dependent on you, which in the end is not healthy for either them nor yourself. While I am not saying that you should not continue to care deeply for and help others around you when you feel able to, even a good thing when taken to the extreme can be self destructive if it is allowed to get out of control.
The final part of your reading is saying to me that you are frequently like the driver of a motor vehicle who has one foot pushing the throttle pedal all the way to the floor, and one pushing hard on the brake pedal at the same time. In the Tarot this condition of continuing to spin your wheels and effectively getting nowhere fast is symbolised by The Chariot. As a reader yourself you would therefore be familiar with the black and white figures harnessed in front of the chariot (which each look like reverse copies of the Sphinx). Not only does this probably mean that you are becoming increasingly frustrated by putting so much time and effort into your relationships with others, and are still not seeing any positive progress being made, but being black and white could suggest that you are looking at your would as pairs of absolutes.
In your attempts to simplify a situation or decide about a person you either see them as for or against you, good or bad or loving or uncaring. You are making absolute judgements about a person's true intentions when very little that goes on in human relationships in general is anything like as simple as one of two extremes, and there are I am afraid many grey areas. You could be falling into the all too common trap of judging a person by outward appearances, and even you yourself may at times similarly seem either loving or uncaring to others close to you, so why would you expect them to be any different?
Overall your general reading for the first half of what is a very new year is positive, but with several suggestions as to what practical ways you could use to improve your chances within your close relationships, either with family or friends or of a romantic nature. Recognise that just as you have come to learn that you are a complex and constantly changing mixture of what would be regarded by others as positive or negative qualities or personal characteristics, so is everybody else.
Loving regards from across the Tasman,
