Here we are...

This spread is called "General Life Conditions", from a book of Gail Fairfield. I chose it mainly because it fills better and fits better in the scanner than the Celtic Cross. I just learned of a more simple "Rose Cross" from a fellow boarder at another thread, but there are some points I need to clarify before trying it out.

The spread has a good general balance between Majors, Courts, Cups, Wands and Swords, meaning you are connected to your emotions, with a good general impulse and energy and clear ideas. And, most important of all, a good connection with your inner voice. Only Pentacles are nearly missing, so I would advise you to watch your economy and, most specially, your health (cannot have the one without the other, you know;)). More than half are reversed, which gives me the perfect chance to show the "reverse detractors" that it is no bad thing: for most cards the meaning is you are trying to come out of a more introspective mood and taking a new interest in what lies around you, no bad thing at all!

1- Who are you at this moment- 7 Pentacles rev: Right now you feel trapped by unsatisfying jobs or commitments. You may also be feeling a bit anxious about a project that is not going as well as it should.

for sure feeling tapped at this moment about commitments.

2- How you are affected by people and surroundings- Knight of Wands: people around you seem impulsive, extrovert. There may be sudden separations or good byes leaving unfinished actions and plans in their wake. However, if you can find some help in the stability of Swords, you will feel self confident and energetic, too.

not sure what you mean by this. "if you can find help in ...." can you explain that a little bit.

3- Words from your inner voice- 5 Cups rev: "Be aware of the worthy and permanent things that remain to you after taking a loss: it will make your loss seem less important". With this in mind, you will soon find help from others, friendship, new interests and occupations after a sad or disquieting situation. Be careful: when we don't accept our loss, we can make false projects and mistakes, causing unexpected anxiety and problems. Good, natural grieving is a necessary part of losing someone or something dear to us.

4- One thing you value or believe in- Temperance rev: You believe in the need to adapt and accept yourself in order to avoid extreme behavior, mood swings, disorder, impatience, inconstancy, uncontrol, dual thoughts and unnecessary worries. You keep reminding yourself that refusing to abandon old habits leads to losing advantages and taking heavy losses.

5- What you are thinking of- The Hermit rev: Maybe you are feeling the need to relate more to others, go out and mingle a bit. You might be needing some human warmth around you, but at the same time you seem to have a little introverted streak that makes it hard for you not to hide from shyness or some little insecurity. You also think you need to be careful of false advice, so you sometimes refuse help for fear of not getting a sincere offer.

6- How you are feeling- : 4 Cups rev: You feel like awakening again to the world and its possibilities, with enthusiasm for novelty and making the best of new experiences coming your way.

7- Situation you are now in- Queen of Swords: This is an intelligent and perceptive person, decided, versatile, penetrating and very skilled. Wiseness acquired through suffering and confronting pain, confusion, doubt and fear.

8- Short term influence- Hierophant: Spiritual advance is coming through good teaching and advice. By giving up some of our will to obey higher laws, we turn benevolent, peaceful, respected and loved.

9- Long term influence- 3 Wands: You will keep a solid base while widening your horizons, like maintaining old relationships while looking for new friends. This is a promising card for the future, indicating strength and success on a calm, emotionally mature person. It also means making your peace with disturbing memories.

a lot of truth in what you have said and saw in the cards which i wont go over every point but some good stuff.

10- The key factor- Knight of Swords rev: this card warns against being too impulsive and rash, running blindly and leaving things before they are done. Watch out for the wrong, violent action when a more quiet and careful approach is needed.

right this very moment woke up to something i want to be really be rash about. but am holding back and letting the rain wash it all away!

And the line in the middle is the more permanent George, your deep core: who you are now, your beliefs, your situation and key factors. Trapped by your external obligations, struggling to gain inner peace, finally reaching a stage of new perception after suffering and keeping in mind the dangers of acting in haste.

that something that rings true and i'm always in danger of acting to quickly and not holding back although at times i think i hold back too much.

i use to scan my cards too until i firgure out i could use me camera. i use to (only a couple of times) scan three cards at a time. then cut and paste them together after making the images smaller but good was that time consuming. it also took away the fun of doing a reading with all that work.

thank ytou for taking the time and post the pciture very fun to see and learn from
i'm off to get ready for work

So glad you liked that!

What I meant by the Swords bit is that sometimes you are a bit too impulsive (Wands-fire) but that is not so bad: as long as you balance it with a little Air-Swords, meaning thinking things over a little before acting on them, you can make the most of the fiery energy to propel you along your path.

See you!
