Hello, i just got out of a relationship the beginning of this year and have been taking it pretty hard.  I was wondering what my relationship life is looking like for this year....if any.

thanks

Please understand that the type of readings given on this board only refer to a period of the next six months or so, and therefore a NO could only weeks later (once the six months has passed) turn very quickly into a YES. I have also noticed that you are trying to cover yourself by requesting a reading on the Tarot Reading forum at the same time as asking for this one, so I will at least for this month avoid using the Tarot in my own reading. I will merely attempt to pass on to you the intuitive messages which are coming through me on your behalf.

To be completely honest with you, having so recently left your previous relationship, even if the opportunity did come along for romance within the next six months, I do not believe that you would be adequately prepared to take advantage of it. The emotional wounds from your failed relationship still run too deeply to allow you to immediately carry on as if nothing had ever happened to you. This does not necessarily mean that you should from now to then become a social recluse and cut off all further contact with others until you are given permission to proceed, but rather that you need to also spend some time in each and every day getting some of your own equally important needs met, instead of always trying to solve other people's problems for them. You need to show at least as much tolerance and understanding to yourself as you have so often shown to others in the past? Balance what social contact you have with quiet quality time to yourself, specifically to enhance the healing process.

You may temporarily feel emotionally dead inside, as this is nature's way of allowing you to continue to function in the many other aspects of your life which require your attention, while your heart is in the process of healing. Being in such an emotionally sensitive state unfortunately also makes you much more vulnerable to people who have their own interests in mind rather than your own, so you may need to develop a slightly thicker skin during this period and not continue to wear your heart upon your sleeve where everyone can easily get to you. It will be difficult to watch apparently happy couples enjoying each other's company and generally having a good time, when your own heart feels like it is breaking.

My answer to your question is YES THERE IS GOOD REASON TO CONTINUE TO HOPE THAT THE RIGHT MAN FOR YOU WILL EVENTUALLY COME INTO YOUR LIFE, BUT THAT IT IS NOT VERY LIKELY TO HAPPEN DURING THE SIX MONTH PERIOD COVERED BY THIS READING.

On one hand do not ever begin to believe that you are somehow destined to remain romantically unattached for the remaining years of your current lifetime, but on the other be realistic and show empathy to yourself by respecting your heart's ability to be able to tell you when it is prepared once again to take the necessary risks involved in beginning any relationship so relatively soon after leaving the previous one.

There are I believe no hard and fast rules about how long it is acceptable to wait until that time arrives which applies to everybody, as the ways and rates at which we heal are almost as varied or unique as we ourselves are.

Love, Light and Peace,
