Hello everyone,
thank you for allowing people to request a reading here. I know it's not always easy to have a reading and I'm very grateful for those that cana help me with their habilities.

I would like to have a general reading concerning my love life.
I'm currently in a very casual relationship and the outcome of this one is still unclear to me.

Thank you very to those who can spread card for me.
I've read some of the topic here (there's a lot) and I can only wish that this forum will continue for long.
Catherine

Hello Catherine.

The ''outcome''? Are you asking whether you will marry him? Ask yourself first: how long have you been in this relationship, which you call it 'casual'?  Are you enjoying this 'casual' status of the relationship? If yes, I would pesonally suggest that you get on with it and sooner or later you will be able to feel what is going on. I'm afraid whatever the cards or a reading tells, you both have the free will to change the course of events around you.

You could perhaps form a different question about this relationship and one of us will look into it by way of a reading.

All the best to you.

Yes Cedars, you are right. My question was unclear and thank you giving me some clues about that. Time and our own gut can help to see clearer too and it's important to know we still have our freewill to change the events of our life. I consider that the tarot can help us to see general trend about a specific question, though, don't you think? Some fact are inevitable, some can be changed by willpower.

Concerning my question, by casual, I was meaning that we are not together since long (few months) and had before lot of difficulties in our respective love life. Then, we are afraid to show feelings. I'm not very talkative about that and he's just all the same. Of course it's not enjoyable and we are very aware about that. And in the same time, we try, even if it's clumsy.
I don't know if my question will be precise enough but I am wondering if this is the kind of relationship that needs time to be full established or if we can't overcome the difficulties.
What do I need to know about this relationship and how can I do to make it better?

Thank you very much cedars for your concern and the advice you give here. You seem to be the wisdom voice here.
I will appreciate your reading very much about this matter.
Have a good day

Hello Cath

I took your question: what does Cath need to know about this relationship and how can she make it better?

I picked three cards for you from the Rider Waite deck.

Seven of Swords. Two of Pentacles. The Chariot.

Looking at these cards the first word that came to me was ‘escapism’. And when I look at the Seven of swords, I feel the man in the picture running away from a scene, taking with him five swords and leaving two behind. I feel this is making the most of what you have in a situation. This card usually stands for the thief who runs away from the scene, leaving behind part of his loot. I cant put my finger on it, but I feel this relationship – if you can call it one – is one making the most of an existing situation, which perhaps is not the wisest thing to do if you want it to develop into something of substance. Whilst you may be juggling your options – with the Two of Pentacles – to see if something transpires out of this; or if you make sense of it all, but I also feel that for the time being you can just ‘play for time’ and have fun while doing it, but sooner or later the music must be faced and some effort and, indeed, a struggle to bring this into a positive conclusion may be on the cards – The Chariot.
The struggle bit, the way I sense it, is for you at least to be expressive about your feelings, even if that means that very stance may present you with some fight in your hands to get where you want.

I am not saying this is your ideal love nor am I saying it is not. All I feel is that there is going to be some effort on your part to bring this about and even then you may not feel totally satisfied of the outcome. I say this because I picked a fourth card by way of clarification and I got the Five of Swords. I think you should give yourself that time to wait and see – the Two of Pentacles – and assess the situation until you decide to fight for it.

What does this say to you?

Blessings..

Hello Cedars,
thank you for your replie and the time you have taken to my question.
Here are the comments I can make about your spread

Overall, I have to say that it doesn't seem to be a very good omen for me and the future of the relationship but the general trend seems to pinpoint the difficulties of the situation.
The seven of swords : can it be interpreted as our respective past? That this past is influencing the situation and blocking the development of this relationship. Letting two swords and looking behind one's back, like being stuck to the past?
The two of pentacles : because of the difficulties, we are not allowing ourself to full commitment. We are trying, like juggling between two opposites feelings. We don't want to get too much involved because of the past and we are missing each other. We don't know how to interpret our feelings then we are giving it time with fun and careless feeling before taking the right decision for us. What do you think?
the chariot : with the other surroundings cards, I'm wondering if it doesn't mean to move on this relationship? I know I'm looking at the negative side of the card but I have a lot of suffer from previous relationship already and I don't want it to happen again. Of course, I would like to see a happy ending to that and I want to make it better with him because I really care for him.
The card I'm most afraid of is the last one, the five of swords. I'm afraid that it means that I will be hurt again. Doesn't it mean betray? In the case of the chariot meaning moving away from this relationship.

When this kind of bad spread is coming out, do you feel like there's nothing to do? There's the capacity of willpower and freewill but can it be enough to make an issue getting better? Is it for a certain timeframe and changed after?
I will give it some time though because I care a lot about this relationship but with precautiousness.
I'm waiting for your comments about my ideas concerning the situation and the cards, if you can of course!

Cedars, I'm very happy that you have taken time for me and I have many question about tarot in general. It's very nice from taking time to answer, as you are very present here.
Your advices are very welcome and the wisdom of your experience very helpfull.
Thank you again
