Dear Tarot friends,

I would be grateful if a volunteer would give me a reading. My question is about developments in my love life. What can I expect in the near future in my love life? (I am single and have no one in mind). Meeting someone new? Starting a love relationship with someone I already know?
Therefore, a general reading and outlook about my love life would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.
(Near future means within the next 6 months)
 

Here I am, rested and refreshed, as promised.

Since I am always trying to find decks and spreads that fit into my scanner (so that you can enjoy the beauty of your very own layout), I am working with the Mini Rider Waite deck using a hexagonal spread, as you can (hopefully) see in the image.

The general impression I receive at first glance is that of inner turmoil, beautifully depicted in the 3 central cards (vertically). Your inner voice is trying to give you good guidance, but you are unsure if it is genuine or just fancy: your rational mind believes you may be deceiving yourself with your inner cravings. In the past, you have taken on loads that did not altogether belong to you, just because you are so strong and caring. In future, this might make you wary in your relationships with others.

There are strong forces pulling at you (no less than 3 Major arcana in 7 cards) that you should heed, but hardly any emotional or love indicators, so I doubt whether this is the right time for you to contemplate a love relationship and all that it entails. Maybe once you have taken a closer look at the issues here depicted...

CENTER: The Moon rev. This position describes who you are this instant, what part of you desires an answer to this question. So I will have to ask you whether you have been having strong doubts or fears about your future love life. Or are you simply going through one of those intense daydreaming bouts, sometimes increased by the hormone cycle? The Moon is inextricably linked to the subconscious mind, our dreams (both asleep and awake), the ways in which we deceive ourselves sometimes, and our complexes and insecurities. Think on this.

1- RECENT PAST working on your favor: Queen of Wands. All this has usually worked for you in the past: you are a strong, protective, generous and kind. Also sensitive, intelligent, warm, affectionate, realistic, solidly planted in your world. You love life and people and hate cynicism, control and domination. Life protects you and offers you joyous experiences.

2- PRESENT on your conscious mind: 8 of Swords. This is a card of confusion and it is what you have in mind these days. You have a feeling of isolation, oppression, vulnerability. You may feel there are restrictions, difficulties or a need to wait and do nothing regarding your love life. You seem to believe there are still things you ignore that put you in a disadvantage when dealing with a possible relationship.

3- NEAR FUTURE: 3 of Cups rev. This is just some situation that might affect the outcome of your question. It can mean to lose something that made you happy, like a friendship, or feeling disappointed because of a lack of emotional backup. Maybe a group disperses, or you feel there are things that are being kept from you in a certain environment. Mmm... another meaning is overindulgence, so watch out for those wild nights!  

4- HOW YOU WILL FEEL IN THE NEAR FUTURE: The Tower rev. Once more, a card of confusion. You have a tendency to shield yourself from hurt. That is fine, but sometimes it is positive to allow ourselves to live through the whole experience, to really feel all the suffering before it can start to heal. Otherwise, you always keep a little inside and it can resurface when you least expect it and really smack you. In this case, you will tell yourself that the observed slight by your peer group (card above) is really not that important, not a big deal, not a tragedy. Well, not to outsiders, maybe, but what about you? Should you not pay a little more attention to your feelings instead of dismissing them as exaggerated?

5- YOUR UNCONSCIOUS MIND NOW: Judgement. You may be feeling an inner tug, an impulse, something that calls you to make an important change or to recognize one that has already taken place inside you. It is like a spiritual awakening, with new forces developing for you. Listen to your inner voice and you will make good, long range decisions for your future. You are now reaching a new maturity, understanding, renewal. You have a chance to follow a great inspiration full of enthusiasm, forge a new identity. What a thrilling prospect!  

6- RECENT PAST WORKING AGAINST YOU: 10 of wands rev. You were weighed down by worries, cares, responsibilities that were just too much for you. You were nearly smothered, both physically and emotionally, and unable to fully use your energy. You finally got rid of some of it but, for how long? will these burdens come back to haunt you? do you take on responsibilities that are not really your own?

In order to get a more clear indicator of the advisability of a love relationship in the near future, I am drawing out one more card.

POSSIBLE OUTCOME: King of Wands rev. Interesting card to appear, since you have already been portrayed as the Queen of wands. There is someone you will come into contact with, although your near future cards indicate that you might be a little disappointed in this person. He/she is strong but tempered, understanding, hardened by experience. Tolerant but somewhat superficial, a little theatrical and/or dogmatic.

Weee...! What an interesting spread for a very interesting person. I hope you do listen to your inner voice and learn to make the most of it, because that is where you will get the tools you need to face any future relationship (love or not) from a secure and independent position.

Best of luck, Fina!  

Dear Pirbid,

First of all,  THANK YOU.

Your reading was so right. To the T.
Let me explain. Your Moon pick was spot on. Since yesterday, I have been feeling uncertain about a lot of things. An ex trying to come back v. a new guy a friend wants to set me up with....
Yes the 8 of swords definitely reflects a lot of how I have been feeling inside: I have disengaged from a certain group I belonged to and now wonder who my true friends are. I feel isolated. Not sure who I can talk to.
The 3 of cups reversed: you are right, inevitably, the friends I made through that organization, I fear, will slowly stop inviting me, or will distance themselves from me....
The Judgment for my subconscious was right on. I have left this group due a strong spiritual awakeneing, tremendous changes in my inner callings, compelling intuition, I see everything in a new light. This completely happened suddenly, but I felt the truth was shown to me very suddenly. Thank God. Also tremendous psychic skills building up at the same time.
You are right about the recent past. I have always been the one who has been taking on all the emotional burdens around me. Friends, family, colleagues, I am always taking upon myself to try to relieve someone else's pain.
It is so strange you pulled the KING of wands. This card has been coming up for the past 2 weeks, each time I try to ask the cards about my love life. It fell off my deck a couple of time as well. It is probably this person my friend wants to set me up with: I tend to be picky and I may be disappointed.... Time will tell.

Pirbid    THANK YOU for doing my reading with such application. I appreciate it. I will of course print this out and meditate on the messages I am being given.

Much love and peace,
Farafina

So glad to be of help. Let us know how you get on. Cheers!  

Pirbid,
Just say that you 3 of cups reversed did in fact happen last night. A birthday party was organized by a friend and me, and .... no one showed up. I bought a b-day cake and all, and the Bday person did not even bother to call.... I have been feeling like the Tower Reversed since then....
Just a note because I know as a reader it is nice to be able to compare notes with the actual experience....
Cheers my dear friend
