| Hi Cedars, Can I have a tarot reading please ? It feels like I'm stuck in a rut . Things are just okay at work but I'm very bored with the daily routines. And I also feel so sad about the unluckiness in my love life which doesn't leave me . I had great hopes that love would find me this year. But it didn't . I feel so low for the holidays . I kind of lack the motivation to go on as nothing ever seems to change in my life . Each year I put on a happy face for the holidays and pretend like I don't feel very awful being single when all the family is together . Can I have a general reading for 2010 and any changes to expect ? Thanks. |
Hello Jlo
I tried to link in with you after reading your request and this is before I lay the cards. I get the feeling that you are mainly stuck indoors. I sense you being in a closed environment, indoors; I don’t see you going out, mixing and socialising. I feel that the more you stay indoors the more you will feel this way and possibly hinder any chances of expanding your social circle.
I also feel in your current environment, where family is concerned, there is quite a lot going on with you; I don’t get the feeling that your family is concerned about you being single. They are still around you, they still love you, and they don’t view you as a failure because you are single. It is you who feels that way. I just see you solitary, in a corner, detached from the excitement around you. I know you’ve said this in your thread, but I cannot help but feel that the state you in is not doing you any good. I feel there is a mother figure around who is trying to get you out of this state of mind. You sort of say, Yes, Yes and you just stay where you are. I am being guided to tell you that the more you make a fuss about this situation, the more you cut yourself off from the world, the more you will feel depressed and not fulfil your desire. You are making this ‘not being attached to someone’ a much bigger issue than it is. The longer you go down this path, you will compound the situation and possibly delay things developing in your life.
I will refer to the cards now and let us stick to the near and medium term future. I don’t believe in a whole year’s reading. Many things, including you, have the ability to change things and future events. Please be aware that you have most of the control and to a certain degree you are in control of the steering wheel.
The question I am going to ask: what is the outlook for Jlo for the short to medium future? That is probably the next 3 – 6 months.
I am using the Rider Waite deck.
The Present influences:
Two of Cups. The Devil.
The Two of Cups indicates a union, or a reunion, making a pledge or a partnership romantically or within a friendship. I feel that the Two of Cups along with the Devil show your bondage to the idea of partnerships, love and romance that bring your spirits down and also make you view everything in life through those glasses. It is a case of being obsessed with the idea and in doing so a pattern of dependence is created which is leading you to be confined within the thought pattern rather than actually rising above it. The Devil is that state of enslavement which is not permanent and is not tying you down against your will. You have full power to release yourself from those chains of bondage and face life, your life, free from this burden of negativity.
Near Future:
Nine of Cups. The Star.
The Nine of Cups stands for completion, the Wish card. It stands for wishes coming true and having all that your heart desires. Next to it we also have the Star card which signifies hope for the future and nurturing your dreams and aspirations.
OK. I am not saying within the next few months you will meet Mr Charming, but your ‘wish’ or wishes, whatever they may be, have a tendency to come to fruition. It could be that your state of mind will change; it could be that you will attain what you’re looking for. I would like you to have an open mind when it comes to your Wish situation and nurture it as it is being granted to you. The Star to me is saying that it is not enough to have your wishes granted; there is nurturing to be done in order to make things grow and bring about their successful conclusion. The Star is like the inspiration and the ideas, but without dedication, things will remain such ideas and dreams.
Farther Future:
Seven of Pentacles. The Sun.
I see you learning new things whether in your job environment or attaining further education. There is a phase here whereby you will make either working as a main priority or being trained to do take on further responsibilities at work or in life in general as the focal point in the future to come. We have another Major Arcana card next to your Minor whereby - The Sun – promises success, progress and a form of rebirth in your mental attitude towards the future.
Advice.
The Emperor.
Ok. Here is a man of authority who has Control over his empire. To keep an empire in harmony and under control, one needs to have the will power of the Emperor, his foresight and ability to detach emotions from common sense. I feel the message for you with this card is manifold once you look at the cycles above. It is fine having wishes granted, it is fine moving on a step further in life, but you have to keep things under control for without that control and the power to stay on top of things, your achievements will probably go back to square one. This is not a threat my dear friend, but just a form of advice that you cannot be under the influence of the Devil for the rest of your life.
I was impressed to see in your reading that each minor Arcana card was complemented with a major card and to wrap it up the Advice card was a Major Arcana too. This tells me that in the backdrop of the mundane of your life, there is a major card to reinforce the potential. I hope you see the significance.
As for the timing, which you are probably deliberating in your mind, I couldn’t tell. I would just like to say take things in their stride and go with the flow. All I will ask you to do is to get rid of that bondage of ‘nothing is going right in my life’ thinking.
Just see how things develop within the next three to six months. That is the best ‘timing’ I would give you based on this reading.
Many blessings to you and hope this reading made sense to you.
