I will have a look see for you and will be honoured to do a reading for you.

Hi Mediazis

I did your reading,
As significator, I chose The Fool, as this card stands for “you” as well as, and you setting out into the unknown or the beginning of a new chapter.

I used the original Rider Waite deck and packed the Celtic Cross spread.

I’m giving you the position of each House, It’s Indication and where it fits in the Celtic Cross, it’s influence or what it describes Then my card interpretations, these has been formulated around four years ago and does not necessarily reflect what other authors describe in the cards.

Here we go;

House 1
Present influences,
General atmosphere, state of mind, people & other influences now at work.

Judgement (Reversed)
Weakness, lost affections, separation, divorce. Confrontation, indecision. Advance of obligations

House 2
Obstacles and blockages,
In representing obstacles, this card indicates people or any forces at work influencing the Querent’s present circumstances or blockages existing about which the querent may not be aware off.

Five of Pentacles.
The meaning of this card has far-reaching consequences. You are or will soon be in a position where you have been ripped to pieces by those wanting their money. You’ve been left with nothing. The unfortunate part is that you may have been the cause of all this turmoil and destruction. You based everything on one single project to ensure financial stability. With all the eggs in one basket, you risked all and lost the battle. You dropped the basket or the handle merely broke. Not only is it your financial stability, but also your spiritual and mental position that is suffering. Nobody could foresee this happening, although you saw it coming you didn’t act fast enough to ensure your well-being. This is an all time low for you and will not disappear overnight. The only thing for you to do is to weather the storm, get it over and done with. Then start building again, for anything will be better than what you have now. Remember to, then, keep this cycle in mind and take precautionary measures.

House 3
This crowns you.
It describes your goals in this matter, and if it will be achieved at this time. This card explains your ideal aim, what you hope to accomplish in this situation and or the best that you can make happen under the circumstances—whether or not it is what you want. It also represents the immediate future, in that which the card describes is still to come.

The High Priestess (Reversed)
Superficial knowledge, even ignorance; inability to judge events and issues clearly; muddy thinking; prejudice and one-sidedness. Also a reluctance or fear to make decisions.

House 4
This is beneath you.
It describes the foundation under discussion; a specific event or different things happening in the immediate past which, because of their influence on you, are the reason, or direct cause of the situation you find yourself in. This card signifies, that which has happened to you and how it changed you. This card also signifies what you can do, to help you reach your final aim or goal.

Three of Wands (Reversed)
In effect if your earlier troubles and obstacles were caused by yourself or your own mistakes or even your own feelings of inadequacy. Acting in a mature and responsible manner will resolve them. If your problems were introduced by the influence or opposition of others, you can still resolve them by taking things firmly in hand at this time. You may even find people who were not involved in creating problems for you, willing to help with advice and guidance. They may even step in to help you.

House 5
This is behind you.
This gives the influence or set of circumstances that is busy happening now and will soon end; the situation which has just passed or is now in passing. In effect, events or circumstances in your past, as shown in the first few cards, created a general personal environment in which you were operating. This environment is now busy changing, either because you took steps to change it, or because some influence is forcing a change. This card is the current from which the Querent is passing away, and it may be the past of the matter.

King of Cups.
A just and honest man, who is or has been kindly disposed toward you. Responsible and mature, he displays paternal feelings toward you. He is intelligent and probably cultured and well-educated as well; and as a result has skills and connections which you need at this time. His appearance in the reading indicates that he is willing to help you in some way; or will be willing if asked for help. If the card does not represent a person, then the situation involves justice, honor, learning and understanding, intelligence and intelligent action, in short authority fairly used. The circumstances themselves are highly favorable for whatever endeavor you have in mind.

House 6
This is before you.
This card describes the future influence or set of circumstances you can expect; the change in personal environment that either should (if you are advised what to do) or will (if you go with the flow) take place. The past described by card 5 is giving way to the new situation as a result to the actions you have taken. If the situation in card 5 has been described exactly and a specific timeframe can be added to it, card 5 and 6 can act as timing factor, as that which is described in card 5 timed until now, card 6 can then be applied adding the same time period but into the future. In general readings the timeframe is also general and can be from a few days to 12 months. When asking a specific question, you can include a time period of say within the next two months etc. It is the current coming into action and will operate in the specific matter.

Knight of Swords (Reversed)
Again you are warned to watch your back; you have a dangerous and influential enemy, or you are in a potentially explosive situation.


House 7
This is you.
This card represents you. In general it puts you in perspective in terms of the circumstances of the reading. It shows your stance or attitude towards yourself or towards your situation. It also reveals how you are likely to behave or react in this situation. Therefore this card signifies the Querent’s self, his attitude to the matter

The Moon (Reversed)
Deception and danger to a lesser degree of importance. Instability, unimportant errors, silence.

House 8
This is your house.
This card represents your environment, or surroundings, in this situation; that which is going on around you at this time. It shows your effect on people especially those close to you, or closely involved with you, it also shows your general effect on events. More importantly, it shows what kind of effect, other people or events, has on you, what they are doing and how they are reacting and what their intentions are regarding a situation or in these circumstances. Therefore it signifies your house, your environment in the affair—the influence, people and events around you.

Two of Wands (Reversed)
You are going to be or have been presented with a wonderful idea, promise of riches, fame and glory. Something to good to be true, unfortunately it spells disaster for you. Your mindset and approach was or will be creative but no matter what you do, you won’t make it. Your investment will be lost. A partnership you entered into or will, has not got the solid foundation to be stable and profitable. The maturity or experience you have, lack the necessary hindsight.

House 9
Hopes and fears.
This card reveals your inner thoughts about a situation; it shows how you feel about people, events and circumstances surrounding you at this time including your feelings about yourself and your chances of success or failure.
You need to understand 2 things clearly.
First. The card describes how you feel, not what has happened, is happening or will happen. Not everyone’s emotional perspective is always right. Your reaction may be reasonable given the current set of circumstances, but it could also be entirely wrong!!(Not being able to see the forest from the trees).
Second. This card still affects the final outcome, whether your emotional perspective is correct or wrong. As an example, if you have to take action, but is afraid to, how positive or successful the card predicts, a big possibility you will still fail, because you can’t make the change or move

Hierophant (Reversed)
Extreme conservationism; over-kindness or over conformity. Servitude, captivity, weakness. Need to be socially approved and accepted. The need to conform. Loss of personal authority (or acceptance off authority only when there is someone to blame if things go wrong.)

House 10
Final outcome.
This is the result. It reveals what will happen or is going to happen; the culmination which will result from the influences shown by all the other cards in the reading. If this card is a Minor Arcana Court Card, it represents a person, who holds the key to the realization of all things predicted.
This is then what will come.
You need to remember one thing, all the previous cards put together creates this outcome, should you not follow the advice, and your final outcome will change.
Consider that life exist around choices you make, sometimes it’s easier to make the correct choice if you know the secrets of the Tarot, so is it also important to remember the choice you make should fit what you want!!! After all you have to live with your mistakes or successes.

Page of Pentacles (Reversed)A banal or coarse person, selfish and self-involved. A prodigal, liberality, disappointment, pain or distress for you, waste of material or potential. Bad news, delinquency, illogical thoughts.

THREE CARDS OF ADVICE;
These cards are read with only the upright interpretations, and does not form part of the reading as such, but only impart advice as to the circumstance and final outcome of the reading

First Card:

Four of Swords
This card is all about you, taking a break. You’ve experienced emotional or physical challenges, obstacles or turmoil, mental strain and abuse. Most people enter these phases, don’t be perturbed in seeking council or taking a break, now is a necessary time to enter your Hermit’s retreat and heal the wounds. Recharge your batteries, for you have a future in which you must develop your self confidence, pride and personal worth.

Second Card;

Ace of Wands
Throughout a person’s life, you are presented with opportunities for success, but sometimes these opportunities are sure failures. You are presented with an opportunity to start a new venture. The possibility is that you have been contemplating this move for some time already. It is obvious that you have made your calculations correctly and your plan of action has been investigated thoroughly. A point of interest is that now is the right time to make this move the negative obstacles has had their time and something of the past. Note, that although the idée you have will be successful, there would be no time for you to rest on your laurels. This is all about hard work will be rewarded.

Third Card;

Seven of Wands
Financial gain. Success. At least one major part of your enterprise achieved. There will be competition and strife, but if you stand your ground, you can stand off your enemies. Even though it may look as though you are outnumbered, you have the advantage. Consider that these other people are only one step behind you and are now fighting to gain that which you have worked for.


Conclusion;

It seems as if you are finding yourself in a situation where you are being hunted by those who you owe money to, be it banks or any other institution where you have bought things on HP, and in itself then starts to take its toll in the sense that there are legal fees also payable. What I also see in the cards, is that your job was what you based everything on, although it may have been a temporary position or one that was threatened by failure or possible financial difficulties of the company you worked for. Your second card clearly indicated that you didn’t take precautionary measures in your own financial security. Here the possibility is that although you may have seen that things aren’t going well, in your own financial affairs, you truly thought things will go better, or that you were somehow fooled or deceived in believing that all is OK. When the ball bounced, you didn’t act fast enough to save yourself.

The cards also show that you are scared to make a decision, or it is a matter for you to truly be reluctant to take a firm decision and act on it, as you need. Sometimes you are also a bit “closed” to advice, and blindly follow your own instincts, and truly you may know it’s the wrong route to follow. I just get the feeling that you may be too impulsive and then don’t really investigate things properly.

I want you to look at card four and please understand how this card influenced you. Remember this is your past and a matter that can not be reversed, no matter what you do. It seems as if you made a few mistakes and totally underestimated yourself and your abilities. But all-in-all, the “old” problems still haunting you. If you step in and forcefully pack the bull by the horns, you can resolve the problems and continue, without these burdens and problems.

When looking at card five. The very recent past and perhaps the now. It shows that a situation to get into a venture is fine and that now is the right time, but consider, this opportunity is also governed and influenced by your own financial stability and cash investment. I think you know that cash is not what you have now. I think that you are already trying to gain the needed knowledge or already have it, but it’s not enough. You are exposed to pitfalls which you can’t properly identify; the risk for you would at this stage be too great. The very real reality is that you don’t have enough experience and financial resources, at this stage, to build a business, and I see that it would cause you too loose the money you have. In this, be careful for a business partnership, if that is what was offered to you, you will be at a position whereby you will be caught up in a vicious repressing or controlled environment, where you will have very little authority, if not any at all. I think that you would rather follow the other partner or customers, compromising you position, and then get stuck in a position of “no room to move”. Nothing wrong in trying to satisfy your client, but I think you will shoot yourself in the foot here?

Now, let’s get to the Cards of advice,
The four of Swords indicates “a period of rest” When we get to all the “fours”, they represent “boundaries” and something of a solid base, something that can’t be altered, it’s influence can only be redirected with a lot of energy and force of will. Now the Ace of Wands is telling you, that the opportunity will be a sure winner, we need to also look at the Seven of Wands, this card tells you, that the financial success is obvious; you will see that around you will be strenuous competition, however not now.

In my understanding and looking at the cards. You should consider giving it some time, before going into this venture (absolutely now). In any event this may not be the only opportunity that may be coming your way. In closing, the Seven of Wands tells you, that it’s going to take a lot of very hard work and standing up, firmly against your opposition. In the period of “rest” is where you going to arm yourself with the necessary tools to fight a good battle and be victorious.

I really feel that now is not the right time to venture to far. Give some time!!!!

I also drew a Rune for you; being—GEBO—PARNERSHIP OR “A GIFT”
Drawing this Rune is an indication that partnership is at hand. In love relationships, in business matters, in partnering of every kind, you are put on notice not to collapse yourself into that union. For true partnership is achieved only by separate and whole beings who retain their separateness even as they unite. Remember that the winds of Heaven Dance between you.

At the same time, there is another aspect of partnerships that you are being called to consider. For the path of partnerships can lead you to the realization of a still greater union---Union with the Higher Self, union with the Divine. The Ultimate gift of this Rune is the realization of the Divine things in all things; God always enters into equal partnerships. Gebo signifies the gift of freedom from which flow all other gifts.

This reading, was a “sticky” bugger to complete. I packed a first spread, it was just not making sense. I the decided to do a second, or fresh reading or spread. Then as it is now, is where I decided that I cant just keep on trying to reshuffle, pack again and again.

Therefore, I stuck to this lay-out, because the cards and the message didn’t change. The first laying of the cards, indicated exactly the same.

I sincerely hope that the cards have a message to you, which you can take at heart.

As with all of us, reading Tarot, please give us your truthfull feedback, we are always learning. Please, it would be so nice to have your view and reflection on our readings, thx in advance for your reply.

Blessed be!
