Hello from an Aussie friend across the Tasman,

Firstly I wish to extend to you a very warm welcome to this forum. As a mother you already have one of the most important and responsible jobs on Earth, and as a father of two adult children myself who knows what is involved in being an effective parent during the opening years of the 21st century, I feel deeply for and with you. I do not feel as though I am being placed under any pressure to offer you a reading as requested, but thank you all the same.

Indeed, it is a pleasure to be of service.

I would not even attempt to pronounce your screen name out of a risk of possibly embarrassing myself.

Now with regards to your request for a general reading, I have drawn a few cards on your behalf in order to get the intuitive juices flowing. And the one which immediately comes up with you is the Ace of Cups.

The Cups suit is generally associated with both forming new relationships and maintaining existing ones. These would include relationships of a romantic nature, but could also extend to companions and deep friendships. The Ace of any suit on the other hand is meant to express whatever the suit does to it's fullest potential, although it is currently only lacking in direction. As I do not know whether or not your children's father is still living with you, or whether you are currently in a relationship with someone else these suggestions will be fairly general. This means that they should be able to be equally applied to either situation - whether you are currently in a relationship, or whether you are looking for someone else to share your hopes and dreams with.

The Ace of Cups itself is talking about a surge of positive emotions and well being from within you as a result of discovering the person whom you love and really getting to know them better, basically for the first time in your life. If you are about to meet this person, this card would be seen as a very positive omen that he is the one you have been waiting for, while if you have already been in this relationship for some considerable time, it would instead be taken to mean that you will begin to recognise positive qualities in your partner which were not so obvious before, and which will add new depth and quality to your ongoing relationship with each other for however long you both still have to live. It is quite possible to live under the same roof for years with the same person, then one day it can suddenly dawn on you that you really never took the time and trouble to get to know the person you have been sharing your life with all this time. Hopefully this card means that you are about to overall receive many more pleasant surprises rather than unexpected and unwelcome shocks about this man, and that your relationship with him will greatly benefit as a result of your discoveries.

While this cup of love as represented on the face of this card is all about peace and happiness and the sheer joy of feeling valued and respected for being the caring and giving person whom you already are, you have enough experience of life to realise that love and romance can often blind us to the practicalities of living in a modern society such as ours. While the reading is encouraging and inspiring you to seek the very best in the person with whom you choose to live (as well as within yourself), it does not wish to make your expectations so unrealistically high that you will almost inevitably feel constantly disappointed in yourself that you could not achieve the state of romantic bliss and ecstasy that is often written about in the in the romance novels.

Real life often shows very little resemblance to what is served up to us in the media, but there is a very big difference between having too much romance in our closest relationships, and having no sense of romance or hope at all. Either of these conditions is toxic to any relationships we might have, and to our own souls. The best thing to aim for is somewhere in between these two extremes, although our balance points and the methods which we each use to reach them may be very different. Ensure that there is always an element of mystery and romance within any of your relationships (new or existing), but do not allow your love for another person to blind you to the more mundane facts of your daily existence?

Love, Light and Peace to you and your family,
