I went to her funeral and no one knows how she died.  Not even her own family (and the family doesn't even want to investigate). Do you know what happened to my friend?

If no one can do that reading for me then may i just have a general reading?  Thank you

Perhaps best if you could rephrase your question Karess?

Hi Karess,

The first part of your question is really best left to a police report or autopsy. That way there are no wrong interpretations or errors just plain cold facts. Answering that question is also a third party reading and so would not be allowed by many readers as it would break their ethics and not to mention this board's guidelines too. I do understand that you are wondering and worried and concerned but you have to let things go and respect the family's wishes on this, if you think there is a problem then you are well within your rights to talk to the police.

I also agree with Cedars on this, and perhaps you might like him to read for you with a new question

Blessings

Hello Karess,

This is a very delicate point and it breaks our reading and site ethics, as Lady of Avalon has so clearly pointed out. This is the reason why you have not had a response so far on that particular topic.
However, I am happy to give you a general reading even though I gather you dont have a specific question.

I am using the Rider Waite deck.

PAST:
EIGHT OF CUPS. SIX OF PENTACLES. THREE OF PENTACLES.
It looks like you have had to leave something behind and turn your back to it and move on looking for new pastures, horizons or opportunities. This could be anything, but as it is the suit of Cups, I am more inclined to say that you may have turned your back to a situation relating to matters of the heart or an emotional issue? At the time you took this step you were not clear what lay ahead of you, as you were filled with both despair and hope, at the same time.
With the next two cards I get the feeling that you may have devoted yourself to some charity work, working in the community or social services, as we got the giving and receiving card in the Six of Pentacles whereby I sense you may have used funds to build on to something, like a project, or even a charity organisation? Perhaps even a partnership of some sort where it invovled working with others and receiving their approval or not?

PRESENT:
THREE OF SWORDS.
A card of heartbreak, parting of ways and separation.  There isnt much that one can say about this card, as it is so graphically vivid with three swords piercing through a heart. Could this even be the friend that you have lost recently?

FUTURE:
FIVE OF SWORDS. NINE OF CUPS. TWO OF PENTACLES.
The first card shows a man holding three swords and two others lying on the ground whilst in the distant two men turning their back to him in disgrace and grief. But the person who has conquered this so-called argument or fight, is not really happy with the outcome. This is in other wrods an unfulfilled victory over something where you may come as the winner, but it won't give you the satisfaction that you thought it might. Similarly, you may be involved as a peacemaker to others but the end result will, again, not be so satisfactory to your expectations.
But help is at hand with the next card, Nine of cups, where an innkeeper is sitting, arms foleded on his chest and with nine cups standing upright behind him. This is the feeling of having it all; almost coming to completion of one's desires and wishes. A sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. This is in contrast to the previous card where the sense of victory was not of major consequence. And then we have the Two of Pentacles where a man is standing juggling his two coins, looking content with the choice he has made and is happy to wait and see until that choice bears its fruits. It is almost the feeling of I am patient and happy with what I've got, and I know there are better things to come, but in the meantime I will wait and enjoy what I have until the ships come home through storms and sunshine.

It is interesting that you have a mixture of Cups, Swords and Pentacles. In the absence of any Wands, I sense you have had a roller coaster of an emotional period combined with material and financial issues. I am tempted to say that the relation between your present state (hearbreak Three of Swords) and the next step of Five Swords, whatever answers you get, will not be to your satisfaction. But somehow the Nine of Cups will lift you up and leave you in a state of contentment and a sense of ease with yourself.

I hope this made sense to you, as you asked for a general reading without a specific question.

Best wishes.
Cedars

ummm.....YES!

Thank you very much
