I have been hit with the possibility of a major life decision that would literally change almost everything in my life.  I have been told not to read for myself and was wondering if anyone would mind interpreting the cards I laid out.  I would be so so so grateful.  Thank you in advance!  I wrote the order in whcih I learned to read the cross because I know sometimes people interpret them in different orders.  Also, I use the Connoly deck (that's why it says Materialism and not the Devil).  Thank you thank you thank you!!  Tracy

1 (Covers you)  IX Pentacles Reversed
2 (Crosses you) VII Pentacles
3 (Basis of the situation) Page of Pentacles Reversed
4 (Behind you) XII The Hanged Man
5 (Crowns you) V Swords
6 (Before you) IV Wands
7 (Your own fears) VX Materialism (Devil) Reversed
8 (Feelings of others around you) Queen of Swords
9 (Own positive feelings) III Pentacles
10 (Outcome)  VI  Swords

Hi Traceewood:

Well, I'll take a stab at your spread in the hopes that it will help you at least a little.  I've never interpreted online before.

Card 1-9 Pentacles (R)- Upright, it usually indicates a woman of independent financial means.  However, reversed means just the opposite in that somehow your economic status is now compromised.
Card2-7 of Pentacles- Tells me that although there has progress, it has been slow (almost too slow) and you feel ready to give up.  This card however, indicates perseverance will win out in the end
Card3- Page of Pentacles (R)- I tend to view the Pages as messengers and with this Page the messages concern monies.  Reversed means the news was not good.
Card4-The Hanged Man in this position indicates that in the past sacrifices were made and you expected a better outcome than what your'e currently experiencing.
Card5-The 5 of Swords indicates defeat.  Somehow you feel cheated, like someone got over on you.
Card6-4 of Wands as you first of the future means you need to restablish your environment (work and otherwise).
Card7-The Devil (Fears)- Don't let old worries and obsessive thoughts get the better of you.
Card8-Q of Swords (Surroundings) You may have cause to deal with this Queen.  She can be a formidable figure (whether as a co-worker, boss, etc.)  because she is very demanding of herself and those around her.
Card9-3 of Pentacles (Your Feelings)-Your confident in your abilities as a professional and your good at your job.
Card10-6 Swords (Outcome) Whatever you decide, this card indicates movement away from troubled waters.  If you stay and have confidence in your abilities to see you through, fine.  However, if you decide to move on, there will be better opportunities ahead for you as well.

I hope this sheds some light for you.
