At CuriousK:  Thanks for looking at the reading and giving advice.  I used Tarot of the Cat People.  I had no idea the kind of tarot cards used actually affect the reading.  I am a n00b about tarot.  

Yeah to be honest, i thought this was an awful card reading but i didn't want to taint the opinions of others who might interpret differently which is why i didn't post my actual opinion.  And yes, i think i suck in matters in love.  I feel hated/disliked/rejected by others a lot.

Perhaps advice from the tarot on how to go about your search for love would probably help. You must understand that the tarot is often reflecting what is at the time of the reading, things are not set in stone.

I have heard that tarot decks can be slightly different in interpretations of certain cards, also tarot readers often look at the pictures in each cards. They can give you symbolic interpretations..e.g. where they facing towards, etc. I'm not familiar with the cat people deck, but i have heard about it. I have the gilded and universal waite only.

Hi Kitsune


I quite like reversed cards, you do enter into a different 'realm' when you read them, that is, you are tending to deal with a greater complexity of reading psychological traits, patterns, influences -  they are challenging but rewarding in synthesis on occasion.  However, in the spread of cards that you have chosen, as CuriousK pointed out, there are a huge swing to reversed presentation and I would suggest to ditch that spread.

Usually, when you get a predomination of reversed, you are in massive self denial, or the timing is just really out of it and there is absolutely no real connection or relatedness to your current position.  Perhaps your question is not really what you are asking or its too multifaceted.  Maybe you have a dilemma with the implications of romance.

Just looking at it again, I would say that you are quite fearful of the possible outcomes, so your inner is not matching up with the subject and the reading is stop and go, push/pull the whole way through.

If you want to read for yourself you might be better reading upright to start with until you are more aware of the nature of a symbol and the relationships between the cards in a layout.

good luck tho

I agree with Astynome about reversed cards and the complex spreads such as the one you have chosen for yourself.
Start with three-card spreads and upright ones - simple does it.

To CuriousK, Astynome, & cedars:

Thank you all for taking the time to help me figure out what is up with my card reading.  I very much appreciate it.  I will try simpler spreads from now on until i get the hang of it better.  I should probably ask simpler questions.

Perhaps my romance readings are better left to the experts and not a casual n00b like me because of the complexity?  There is a lot going on in the romance dept and none of it good.  That is why i am sad/disappointed.  I was just hoping to know whether i should waste my time on person X or just move on before any feelings get invested.  I feel burned from previous encounters with others which has probably tainted my reading irreversibly.  I can describe my general romance situation for the past 5 years as:  I usually have between 1-3 suitors who like/love me but i don't return feelings for and want them to leave me alone.  Then there is one person i like/love and they hate/dislike me greatly.  Just change the names every once and while and it's the same situation over and over.   I just want to step off this ride but don't know how.
