Sweet,
HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY!!!
I am sadly for you unable to read Deb's thoughts and intentions directly through a third party reading, with this not being permitted under the forum rules. But as long as you recognise that any predictions I make using the more indirect method are regarded as being far less unreliable, and could easily be made totally worthless by a variety of different factors which could at any moment throw a spanner in the works, I am willing to do my best to ask through this reading whether there is above an average chance (greater than 50%) that Deb will decide to contact you again at some time within the next six months, with you not having a contact number to get in touch with her first.
---------------End of my disclaimer---------------------
Your focus or main theme card was the
Eight of Swords.
The Eight card of any of the four different suits in the Tarot is thought to be associated with a woman (or man) being strong within herself (inner strength in contrast to having big muscles) and her taking what positive and practical action is felt to be required in order to significantly increase the chances of the event happening.
This is the card which best represents a person who is unwilling to leave everything to chance or good luck and who does not stubbornly through false pride resist whatever changes are necessary within herself, in order to bring this about.
Specifically the Eight of Swords itself has often been called the damned if you do and damned if you don't card.
Actually the word damned is usually replaced in some reader's dictionaries by much more colourful and anatomically graphical words as a substitute, but with this being a spiritual site where younger members may see this, damned will have to do for now.
It symbolises a person who feels that nothing she can do or not do is going to make the slightest bit of difference in the end to whatever happens now or in the future, so there is a constant temptation for her to do absolutely nothing to help herself and leave everything exactly as it has always been, or preserve the status quo.
I believe that this card is warning you that if you do give into the temptation to personally do nothing to increase the chances that Deb will spontaneously contact you herself without any further action on your part, your chances of her contacting you by herself currently range in the levels between zero and impossible.
Your reading is encouraging you instead to take a more creative, active and practical approach to your dilemma, and not simply continue to drift along with the vain hope that Deb will phone you out of the blue, saving you from having to make the effort yourself to find her number.
It goes on to ask whether Deb and yourself might have a contact person in common who could pass on Deb's phone number to you so that chance would no longer be a factor in you having to wait indefinitely for her to ring back.
It tells me that you are a highly intelligent person who is more than capable of coming up with her own creative, new ideas as to how you could possibly reduce any further waiting for Deb to its minimum, and this is only one of a series of valuable opportunities for you to apply your deductive thinking and detective skills to a real world situation, and prove to yourself once and for all that you are more than adequate for successfully meeting the challenges which you face on an almost daily basis.
So accordingly it is my understanding that while you locating Deb is going to make your job of reconstructing or fitting back together your family tree much easier than it would have been if you were forced to do it entirely off your own bat, it is also seen as a tool to help you to get your confidence back in being able to think of these things yourself, then doing them.
Now please do not get the wrong impression that I think that you should have worked this all out by yourself and that I think any lesser of you by you asking for this reading.
For to do so is one of those creative ideas I was talking about above. I am hardly going to encourage you through this reading to be more creative in coming up with your own ideas in order to increase the probability that Deb will either contact you or that you will get her phone number instead from another common friend or family member, then in the same breath have a go at you for being creative enough to think of doing it.
But in a strange sort of way my role as your reader is similar in some respects to a parent's role with his or her own child, in gradually making myself redundant, so that I am then available for others who still need to learn their lessons. Gradually my job as I see it is to make you feel much more comfortable with and more trusting in your own inner guidance.
So while at this time I am perfectly happy to remind you of these things through a reading and tap into my own intuition with the positive intention to help you in finding Deb, progressively I would like to be gradually as you gain in confidence handing my job over to you and your equally capable inner guidance, to steer you in the best direction with reference to any future challenges you may face.
Do you understand the important point which I am trying to make here, without feeling unnecessarily hurt or offended by what you are misreading into my words that I am somehow criticising you or thinking that I am any better as a person than you are, when this is the complete opposite of what I had intended to communicate in the true spirit of love and helping to you as my friend?
Hoping that this helps and does not unknowingly offend you, as I must freely admit that it does come on sounding overly arrogant and unnecessarily overbearing in places.
TOUGH LOVE?
Loving regards,
EoT
