Hello,

I would like to request a reading. My name is Rick and dob is june,9,1953, and I am married. A general reading will be great. You can tell me about anything and everything you see for me.

Thanks!

Hi Rick,  

It would be my pleasure to give you a reading as requested, and I fully plan to do so within approximately the next 24 - 48 hours (God and my own health willing).

Speak to you soon (after my once a week day off for good behaviour of Thursday is finally at an end).

Please allow for any time zone differences between us while patiently waiting for your reader to get his act together.

My mind and spirit are both reasonably strong with the positive intention to help you to the very best of my abilities, but my body is unfortunately correspondingly weak and stubborn, when it comes to obeying their commands.

Cheers until then,

Hello, thank you for answering! Please, take your time, no rush at all.

Hi Rick,

The Ten of Wands is thought to best represent someone who tends to take all the worries of the world upon his own shoulders, and incorrectly believes that he can almost single handedly solve all it's many problems effectively overnight. He often has quite enough of his own challenges to deal with without taking on everyone else's as well, but he unconsciously believes that if a job is worth doing right, then he is the only person who is capable of doing it.

Such a person needs to learn as quickly as possible for the sake of his health and peace and efficiency that a load shared with others is a load which is more than halved. He must develop enough trust in those people who work under him (those he is in a position of authority over as part of his job) to feel comfortable enough to delegate responsibility to them according to his assessment of their abilities and strengths based upon past experience, rather than being based upon his personal opinion as to who would be the best person to do what he has asked them to.

Your second card for this reading which was The Emperor has often been called the "who is the boss in your life card". In other words this card specifically attempts to help you to answer the important question as to whether or not you may feel (rather than actually being) that you are reasonably in control over your life to live as you best see fit to do so. For it is quite possible for you to be much more in control over these various aspects of your life than you may feel that you have at the time. How much control then do you feel that you have over your surroundings, your body, your temper, your instincts and perhaps your love life? Who on average do you feel is sitting in the driver's seat in making both the big an d smaller decisions?

Or do you feel instead that you are permanently trapped in the role of a backseat passenger or helpless victim? While you must continue to consider the needs and feelings of others when deciding the best possible course of action to take, do not allow these to be the only factors you base your decision on. You are being encouraged to balance their needs and feelings against your own equally important ones. Failure to do this will most likely mean that you could potentially come to resent and want to avoid the very people you are most trying to help and support.

Your third and final card for this reading was the Six of Wands (yet another member of the Wands suit in the same Tarot spread). The Six of any of the four suits is believed to be about you establishing or in many cases re-establishing a sense of balance and harmony in your life, when compared to how things were before. The Sixes suggest that during the period of time covered by a reading of the type given on this board (which is presently considered to be approximately the next six months) that you will find a solution to some of the problems which have really been challenging your ability to cope over the previous few months to year. Not only will some of your most worrying problems finally be resolved, but this will often involve a two way exchange of ideas with someone else close to you (most likely your wife), and a willingness by both of you to reach a mutually satisfying compromise in an effort to restore peace and good feelings once again towards each other.

As is also true with the first two cards drawn in this reading, the principles or lessons which this final card is attempting to teach you could be in both theory and practice applied in many areas of your life simultaneously. These life areas could include (but the list is neither exhaustive nor complete) your personal life, your working life, your love life, your spiritual life, and of course your marriage. For if your closest relationship with your life partner is not for some reason meeting your expectations and you are both unhappy within yourselves, no amount of success in any of the other life areas is likely to offer you the deep sense of personal satisfaction your are seeking.

The relative success or failure as judged by you of your marriage is pivotal to how successful and happy you will be overall with the rest of your life? If you do not have a reasonably happy marriage as a firm foundation upon which to build your life as a whole, then success in other areas is unlikely to satisfy you for very long, if at all. There will always be that nagging feeling that something terribly important is missing. Something which cannot simply be replaced by you accumulating more money or material wealth beyond the amount which you need to be able to survive at the physical level. In a similar manner you need to live a way of life which is always fairly consistent and in line with your spiritual beliefs and moral values.

Many blessings to both of you and to your marriage as well as me wishing you increased success and happiness in these other life areas, which when combined with each other make up your life.
