Complicated situation indeed, Dee..
First of all please try and calm down and look at things under a different light:
You say your ex is communicating with you via email... Is that the only way he chooses to communicate with you? Arent you in the same country, let alone the same city or town? Why didn't he pick up the phone and assure you of that?
It seems to me his mum and dad are too involved in his life and that makes me wonder if he has the strength to handle a situation such as his own personal life?
I know, I know you have several questions to set your mind at rest, but they are all related to other parties and their intentions and thought process.
Without touching the cards, I feel your ex is confused and rather weak in this situation. You, on the other hand, are much stronger than him but I do feel for you and in your hour of pain in trying to sift through this situation with so many questions unanswered.
I know I am not supposed to do this by the rules of Mystic Board, but I feel your ex doesn’t really know where he is heading to and what he wants right now. I will leave it there and move on to you.
You are my main concern and I will give a reading here about your priorities. I am sorry I cannot delve into the energies of your ex or his family members.
I am using the Robin Wood deck .
Main Priority now: Queen of Swords
We see a woman here dressed in a blue robe in the middle of the fields, clouds in the background, holding a sword in an upright position. Excuse my language here, Dee, but this woman does not take bullshit. Her mind rules her heart and all the decisions she makes. She can be a pain to deal with, but I would not like to cross her for she is also a strong person. Now, is this you or is this how the tarot is telling you to be? Or, is this someone in your life with such qualities and you are being directed to follow her example or possibly your energies to deal with her? I feel you are being directed to be like her, even if this is against your character traits.
What is blocking you: Ace of Cups.
Such a positive card and yet it has come up in your obstacle section of the reading. Aces stand for new beginnings and the Ace of Cups is such beginnings in the area of love and romance, a new love towards something or someone, a new spiritual awakening, seeing the light and be guided by it. It is a beautiful card and almost like a gift being given to us by the universe. In the picture we see a silver-gold plated cup with a red heart engraved in the centre. Behind the cup are rays of sunshine and water spilling over and flowing under the cup. The cup is as if being held and supported by its own overflow and floating in the air. As I was writing this I started getting the feeling that this very situation of what might be considered a new beginning for you, is causing you a lot of grief and presenting you with obstacles. Sometimes the most positive situations present us with blockages and we do not see the forest for the tree?
I don’t know how long you were in this relationship, but to me it feels it was not a long one – hence the Ace of Cups and its ensuing influence on you. If this is the case, my dear Dee, could you perhaps re-examine the whole situation and do some soul searching if the whole thing had any legs to stand on?
Things I can change: Six of Cups.
This is the card of nostalgia; of those childhood memories of a sweetheart; it is almost like the puppy love scenario where we all have been once and I dare say we do revisit them from time to time in our adult life too. Please don’t take this too hard, Dee, and I am stepping on sensitive grounds here if I ask you: are you perhaps in that mindset about this whole relationship? That it was a wishful thinking, nostalgia of some sort? Should you perhaps come out of that mindset and view things under a different light?
Things I must accept: Nine of Cups.
We see a man here content with all his belongings and acquisitions with nine golden cups standing upright behind him. He is the happy innkeeper so to speak who has all his wishes come true. Could this card be telling you that you already have all you need for now? In tarot terms this card is interpreted as the granting of one’s wishes, one step before the 10 – full attainment. But my hand on my heart, I cannot tell you that this stands for your ex coming to you and giving you that sense of attainment. That may as well be the case, for I do not discard that possibility. Nevertheless, I feel this card’s message to you is that you already have everything that you need; your wishes have already been granted to you, but in your current pain perhaps you do not or cannot see that. I do hope this makes sense to you, Dee.
How things will progress? Ace of Swords.
Another Ace here but one that stands for power, strength and mental agility to deal with what life throws at us. I feel this Ace is exactly what you will need to carry on and move forward in your life, for this is that inner strength given to us by the universe. With the power of the mind, the spoken words, the mental agility, and sense of fairness and justice, I feel you will be a stronger person to pave the way for the foreseeable future.
In my guts I feel this is not kind of reading you were expecting Dee, and for that and by way of further assurance, I picked three advice cards for you:
Ace of Wands. Seven of Pentacles. King of Swords.
The Ace of Wands is telling me there is yet another type of new beginnings that may trigger a new passion within you whether it is regarding a new idea, a new route, and one that is potent in both physical and mental creativity.
The Seven of Pentacles looks at the work you have done so far and waiting for the fruits to bear. Whilst there is satisfaction in the waiting of your hard work to pay dividends, for the work is there and the outcome is very much visible to you, but I also feel this may indicate some change of direction perhaps or reassessing a certain situation and possibly doing it differently next time round?
The King of Swords, similar to the Queen of Swords, is a person in your life or possibly coming into your life with the qualities of a sharp mind, sense of fair judgement, who deals with life with his mind rather than his heart. He is a strong man of his word and has seen a lot of upheavals in his life and knows how to deal with them. Could this person be someone whose qualities may be what you might seek for guidance and support?
I look forward to hearing from you and hope this has touched some of the points in your current sitution by way of some insight.
Much blessings to you Dee
