Hello HelpSurvive
Very sorry to hear about your marriage and the current situation.
It made a certain impression on me when you asked the question: “Can I save this marriage?” Well, unless you are at fault here, then saving this marriage should be a two-way street. It needs two parties to wish to ‘save’ a union such as marriage.
Before I lay the cards, I usually take a few moments to link in with you ‘clairvoyantly’ to see what images I am getting. I have to say I could not get any images except for the following words, whether they apply to you or to your husband, I am not so sure. I have a feeling they apply to him in this case. “Boredom”, “Depression”, ‘Fear”. Do you have any reason to believe he is suffering from any of these? Or that he may have had in the past?
I am using the Mirror spread and I have picked the following cards from the Rider Waite:
1: You – the Querent.
Seven of Swords.
Here is a man running away with five swords between his arms whilst leaving two behind. He is sneaking away and has no time or does not care about picking the other two left behind. At first sight of this card, one would think about a situation where there is cheating, treason, running away from the truth, someone not telling the truth...and things of that nature. This is a delicate matter for me to touch here my dear, but I am inclined to ask two questions: have you been running away from a situation, whilst knowing well in your heart that it should be tackled or should have been handled, but never did? If this card had shown as your husband, my immediate impression would have been, Oh, yes, he is cheating, and he is running away from a situation and so on. This could still be the situation you are in at present – your husband wanting to make a break. But, please, have a look inside yourself and examine if you had been avoiding certain issues hoping that they would simply resolve themselves?
2: The way you see the other person in the relationship.
Ace of Swords.
A rock, tower of strength, good communicator, the front line for all matters that need solving and, as a man of the family, he is the one who usually handles them. He is strong, has a sense of justice and for you he is the Ace, the number One!
3. The way the other person sees himself (your husband).
Nine of Wands.
When I look at this card, at a man who has worked hard and so protective about what he’s got and yet I see him so vulnerable in his efforts to guard what he has. On one hand I see that strength on him and yet there is that sense of insecurity, a sense of fear of losing it all. He is as though protecting himself by his own achievements, of what he has acquired so far, without letting others to come close to him or even trying to share it with others. In contrast to your perception of him as the ‘rock’, I don’t think he sees himself under the same light.
4. What the person represents to you.
Three of Pentacles.
The first feeling I get from this card is one of the ‘home maker’; the builder; the one who is looking after his home, a hard worker, a self starter. He has his hands at projects and seeking approval from investors and his superiors.
5. What you represent to them.
Eight of Wands.
Witty, fast paced, always the first to get there; always quick with decisions and actions in making things happen. You think about something and you make it happen – sooner rather than later. A fire energy; creative and imaginative. Whilst he may have those same qualities himself (Nine f Pentacles) but it takes hard work for him to achieve things rather than the way he sees you; it is as though he sees you as someone for whom things are fast and easy and on time. As a man, he may find this perception of you a bit challenging to his manhood. I am also getting the feeling that he may see you as someone who is fast to react, fast to make a stance, quick to judge and passionate in your initial response to situations.
6. Obstacles within the relationship.
Death. (major Arcana)
Things have to change; certain chapters have to close in order for new ones to begin. I hear you said you had a very loving relationship before he made this announcement. But have there been unresolved issues from the past between you two? Are there things which have not been put to bed and sorted rather than shoved under the mattress? Sometimes we feel when we don’t talk about things, they will go away. Perhaps there are things which seemingly have gone away on the surface, but they possibly need to be revisited and put to their grave before the new chapter comes to light. I repeat here again: I know you said you have been in a loving marriage, but I can’t help but feel with this card that there are some unresolved issues between two. Has he or you done things or something in the past that needs to be put to bed? Could that be the reason for the present situation?
7. Strengths within this relationship.
Strength. (another major Arcana).
There is Strength in itself in this relationship which you both share. Whether you put it to proper use or even realise that you have that strength, is another issue. Here, we are talking about the ‘silent strength’; the one that moves mountains but one that uses tact, communication skills and calm temperament. With such qualities that the relationship has been blessed with, you should both be able to face anything.
8. Probable result.
Four of Wands.
This is the card of celebrations, almost thanks giving while you bring your harvest home to share with family and loved ones. It is party time with friends as these two women in the picture carry home on their shoulders baskets of fruits and flowers while their garden is decorated with all sorts of colourful flowers and people in the background enjoying themselves.
From step 2 to 7, there are challenges and personality issues. I am going to impress upon steps 6 and 7 which may assist in bringing a solution about this situation. I am not saying the solution is a re-union, nor am I saying it is not. It is up to you both to sort issues around you. If he said to you he didn’t love you anymore, I would suggest that you use your Strength, the gentle and tactful one with which you can move mountains.
However this situation ends or is resolved, I wish you all the best and the celebrations that the cards have shown.
I stand by the advice and support given to you by Grandpa Rhutobello in his previous message to you.
All the best to you and I hope this reading has meant something to you.
Please feel free to get back with your feedback.
Blessings of harmony to you.
Hugs
Cedars
