Thank you for getting back to me so quickly about this and I am relieved to hear that the person whom you are waiting for although not being able to be contacted, is still very much alive.

| so can I ask for a general reading for me the next few months and I guess how to cope. |
It sounds from what you have just said that you expect the wait to be a relatively long one, so I am looking to this reading to offer you insights into what you could possibly do to stay calm, in addition to the usual natural methods which are suggested in such situations to keep your stress at more manageable levels These natural methods would include but are not confined to meditation, deep breathing exercises, progressive relaxation, self hypnosis and more active techniques such as the ancient Chinese practice of Tai Chi. Each of these will help some people, but none of them will help all people.
Basically we each as individuals need to find the one which best suits our particular mind set, physical make-up and personal way of dealing with our anxieties and work with that, either with or without the help of a knowledgeable and understanding teacher to keep you motivated throughout the entire waiting period, which can at times seem like an eternity. How fast normal chronological time when compared to psychological time passes can be very different, as you probably already know all too well.
Six weeks can in our minds seem more like six years of waiting, especially if we have a valid reason to fear for the other person's health and safety. I am specifically thinking here of those of us who have lost contact with someone who may have been caught up in one of the many natural disasters which have broken our hearts during the first 72 days of 2011, with the most recent being the Japanese earthquake disaster, as well as those women who have a partner serving overseas in an active war zone.
And there is also the fact that many people equate worrying themselves sick about a person and on the other hand caring about or being concerned about them. The evidence is surely staring each of us squarely in the face that they are not the same thing, but tell your subconscious mind that at 2.00 am in the early morning, when being able to relax and get back to sleep begins to look infinitely more challenging to you than climbing Mount Everest with no arms.
I could not if I had intentionally designed it that way myself selected a more appropriate card in the context of your request than the
Two of Wands.
This is a card all about waiting. In this case waiting until your ship comes into the harbour. Standing high on a castle rampart between two vertical staffs looking out to sea. Patiently scanning the distant horizon for the first signs of your long wait soon being finally at an end.
Most readers would interpret the two card of any of the four different Tarot suits to represent the duality of life, meaning that it is mainly composed of pairs of opposites. Light and darkness, love and hate, life and death, health and sickness, positive and negative etc. etc. and so forth. The uncomfortable and unavoidable fact of life is that you often cannot have or fully recognise or appreciate one in each of these pairs without having first encountered and got to better know the other. How can one fully appreciate what it is to be truly alive, without the knowledge that one day our physical bodies will be fertiliser? There is often a fine line between genius and insanity, and the close relationship of love and hate or pleasure and pain is already well known and frequently talked or written about both in printed and digital literature.
The primary message I feel behind the Two of Wands which being a member of the Wands suit best represents a person who is not willing to wait indefinitely and leave everything to chance without doing whatever he or she actively and practically can to significantly reduce the waiting period, is that to be able to live a reasonably sane and calm life in our world, one way or the other we each need to in our own time more fully come to terms with the reality of duality (an impressive phrase). It is obvious that you have a deep affection for this person whom you have temporarily lost contact with, but part of loving them is that you care for and are concerned about them.
You simply cannot the have one, without at the same time feeling the other.
Whether it be romantic love, the love between a brother and sister, the deep sense of affection between two lifelong friends or a more spiritual form of love on a local or worldwide scale, if you love them you must also care about them. But as I mentioned above, this is not the same thing as worrying yourself into a hospital bed or early grave over them. Either condition is only more than less likely to allow you to fully enjoy the happy reunion when it eventually happens. Or it may mean that the reunion ill never happen at all at least while the both of you are still living on Earth. Do whatever you practically can to shorten the delay without having to make yourself a nervous wreck, sick or dead in the process of doing so.
You probably cannot do too much about many of the factors which are currently separating you from this person, but there are numerous things which you can do to change your ways of thinking about what might possibly be responsible for his or her apparent silence, and short circuit your subconscious mind's panic vicious and seemingly never ending attacks on your body, emotions and your spirit or sense of hope that the reunion will not be far off in the distance.
As you have failed to mention just how long your wait has been so far, and with this reading only thought to be referring to the next six months or so, there is sadly neither a definite nor estimated time scale being placed upon when this person will ultimately bring your wait to an end. Without me being able to go the third party route and read his or her mind, I sense that a common friend or acquaintance will intervene between now and mid September, who will put you back in contact with each other. I also sense that when this happens that you will realise that your anxieties and concerns for them had no basis in reality. They were only the products of your own negative imagination, although at the time they seemed all too real to you.
Some level of anxiety and concern about our loved ones is normal and healthy and part of loving them. It is only when these fears stop us from living the rest of our life to its fullest potential that it really becomes a serious problem. Without some element of fear and concern for ourselves, few of us would in all likelihood survive long enough to see our first birthday. But when fear becomes our master, instead of a way of making us want to do something in order to make things safer and minimise the risks which are always involved, then it can quickly in succession destroy our peace of mind, our health on several levels, and if nothing is done soon enough to stop it running out of control like a bull in china shop, ultimately take our very life itself. Some degree of fear and concern and anxiety is unavoidable and healthy. Too much of any of them at any time is neither unavoidable nor healthy.
I do not need a crystal ball as is shown on the face of the Two of Wands, to tell me that. Take it from someone like myself who was taught both through words and example during his earlier years that caring about a loved one and worrying yourself sick about them are exactly the same thing, that they are ABSOLUTELY NOT.
