Hey Gem,

I just got out of an abusive relationship with an older man and I'm feeling pretty disenchanted with love and relationships in general.
I currently have my two old flames trying to get back into my life and while I have no desire whatsoever to jump into another relationship I'd like to know if I can trust their intentions towards me. I'm afraid they're just being predatory.

Of course, just a general romance reading would be just find too.

Thank you!

Hi Sidhe,

I pulled some cards concerning your two old flames. Not having a name for them, I am just following my guts, but perhaps you will recognize who I am talking about.

YOu: Four of Cups

Man One: 7 of swords + 2 of swords; outcome: 8 of swords

Man Two: 3 of wands + King of pentacles; outcome: page of pentacles

Reading:
Based on my cards, Sidhe, it feels that right now you are in a state of despondency and disillusionment with men and really not ready at this point to enter into any deep and loving emotional relationship, as I see you still have some trust to regain and some healing to go through. My feeling here is that you are still a bit bitter, understandably, and this resonates in your energy quite a bit at the moment.

Man One: This is someone who I dont feel is being honest with you. I feel he is putting up a front about who he really is and his true intentions. My feeling is that he is a bit defensive himself, as he was hurt in the past and expects to get hurt again. He is very cautious and guarded and I am not sure his goal is all that clear here. I sense this man may also have some depression problems.

Man Two: This is someone with whom you may have more solid foundations to build on. From what I see, there is a solid energy here, someone who is enthusiastic and open about what he wants and willing to work for it. This is a man who is responsible and with a good and stable professional situation, someone who is a family man, but tends to have focused more on work and financial achievements so far.

Summary:
Sidhe, I feel that with the first man, any love relationship will cause more low-confidence and low-self-esteem problems, as you may end up doubting yourself again and fail to move forward and re-build yourself the way you wish. With the second man, I sense a stable and solid foundation for you two to build, and I see more communication developing between you and a gradual but serious development of a relationship between you two.

Hope this helps a bit and I hope you recognize who is who. lol
