A parcel I ordered from ebay in April has not yet arrived and I am getting very worried. I have talked to the seller already, he seems helpful enough and even sent a receipt to be as proof that he actually sent it in the mail. Now, what I'm more concerned is whether he can be trusted, or whether the parcel has actually arrived at my house but someone else has stolen it.

The 2 courses of action I can now take: Either give this up, or raise a claim with Paypal.

So... the question is: What advice can you give me regarding my lost parcel from (ebay seller's name)?

The reply:

1: King of Cups Rx
2: 8 of Swords
3: Queen of Wands Rx

As usual, beginners like me tend to hate court cards, so I'll start with the 8 of Swords. Probably a situation where I feel really confused and powerless. I am unsure whether it is the seller's fault or the postman's.

And back to the court cards. King of Cups Rx. A possible deceptive seller? A person who can't keep emotions in check? Queen of Wands Rx suggests someone's being manipulative and wants to create conflict (I guess).

Looking at elementals I see both the King and Queen are fighting, thus leaving 8 of Swords as the dominant card in this spread.

So, once again I need to ask for a second/third etc opinion. Any thoughts pls?

I got it already today just as I was getting extremely worried yesterday. Now to wait for the Other lost parcel...

Having your question answered i.e. having received your goods..... and I am glad you have received it..... how would you have read the cards yourself now that the event has been concluded? The event has already happened and you should have no fears or doubts in the interpretation of the above three cards.

Ok, here goes, do correct if I'm wrong:

8 of Swords: A period of confusion and powerlessness, perhaps because the parcel was long overdue and I was worried if it'd gone missing (or not).
King of Cups Rx: The tarot might be warning me that I might have let my emotions get the better of me in this situation, or something like that.

Well I'm having a bit of trouble with Queen of Wands Reversed, though.

Court cards in general are really tough, especially when they're reversed. And with the Queen though, I don't see a woman/lady here, how does this apply?

Anyways, I've been learning a lot on tarot during these few days, and the cards I'm getting are slightly starting to make more sense...

The Queen of Wands in her upright position is a queen who makes things happen with her energy, charisma and get-up-and-go attitude. But she can be the opposite, sometimes vicious in her affairs (business or otherwise) when someone steps on her toe. The Queen of Wands is a Fire sign and I see you are a Fire sign too. Could this be a reflection of your own personality when you get into a tangled situation such as the one you have been in recently?

Food for thought?
