Hi, I'm brand new at this so would like feedback to see if my interpetation is even close.   The question I asked was what will happen between my daughter and her ex boyfriend next.  Here's the cards and my guess what they are saying:  1st card: Page of cups- I think this is her new boyfriend as he is into water sports heavily and I believe cups is connected with the water.  2nd card: 3 cups reversed- again I think this related to her current BF as he is a heavy pot smoker and very physically possesive of her.  3rd card: Strength- I believe this is her ex boyfriend as he is a Leo and htis card is associated with a Leo.  And he has a very strong personality, he very steady and driven.  4th card: Justice- I believe this is my daughter as she is a Libra.  5th card: moon reversed- I believe this means someone close to her is trying to decieve her either the ex or the current BF.  6th card: Queen of Swords reversed-  there is also a female involved in this deception possibly BF is cheating? Or ex is being influenced by a woman against my daughter.  7th card: 8 wands- That she needs to act on her true feelings that she will be successful in obtaining what she wants there is hope in this situation.  8th card: Knight of Swords reversed- again one of the males is decieving her, don't know which one.  9th card: Heirophant- My daughters composite moon is in Tauras withher ex BF  Ithink it means they will end up back together and fully commited to one another.  Let me know what you think!

For one, what you see is what you see!  so I couldn’t tell this or that is wrong.  I don’t know your spread or what deck you are using so it hard to say what the cards in their positions could mean.  And you are mixing astrology in your reading that I can’t relate because I really no nothing of it.
But what I can say is that you seem to be getting some very clear pictures of your daughter.  (I assume you are doing the reading for your daughter).  And you’ve pickup on some very good stuff that seems to relate to people she is involved with then put that in your reading which is a very good thing to do.  
I curious to think what you daughter thought of the reading and if you see saw it to ring true for her?  
Good luck and hope to see on the board more.

Thank You for your response.  She found it to be fairly accurate.  Especially that it appears that there is alot of deception going on around her.  It has caused her great stress for the last year.  I used Rider-Waite cards and didn't use a particular spread,  I just layed out 9 cards in rows of 3.  Something in my gut told me to do it that way so I followed it.  I think the thing we are still confused about is is it the ex, the current bf or someone else slandering her.  And we weren't clear if she is going to end in the end be with the ex or current bf.  I had never associated zodiac with this either till I was looking at the card meanings and realized that the signs associated with these cards were theirs.  I found it interesting that her exes card strength associated with Leo came up right next to hers which is Justice associated with Libra otherwise I don't think I would have made the connection.  We are goingto keep working on this.  And now that you know which cards and how I layed them out maybe if it gives you more insight you could let me know.  Thank You Again!!!

As i think you did a good enough job without my help or anyone's help here.    so accept you reading as a good one.
but here are some pointers.
usually with a three card spread the standard placements of each row in order would be Past, Present and Future. (now keep in mind your are the Reader and you should know the placement of your cards as to get the correct meaning as they relate to the question asked).  the placement of the cards could be anything you want or a spread someone else has created hence the The 3 Cards Spread of Past, Present and Future.
the fact that you can relate the card to the zodiac is a good thing, if it works for you, and because the cards do have those meanings in them as you now know.  actually you are one step ahead of me on that one because i know nothing to very little of the zodiac.  so use that if it works for you without question.
btw, look for the Tarot Classes here and join!  ITS FREE!  with what appears to be your knowledge of zodiac would really help students, like myself, get a deeper meaning of the images in the card.  it is a learn at your own pace course so there is no pressure.
anyway, the meaning of the cards could be meanings from a book  or something you see and feel in the images or both etc.  so don't let that slow you down for what you are feeling when you are doing the reading.  
now, keep in mind, that sense your are reading for your daughter you will have to work on being very objective and not let personal feelings and what the cards are saying get confused.  

now, that i have said all that... let me say this about that... your reading.

The first three cards are the Past telling us about the situation that led us to the Present. So apparently three people have gotten us to the future and the question asked of the cards. Clearly.

Justice could clearly be your daughter .  and a deeper meaning of the card, for this reading, is that your daughter must make some decision and take a step between the pillars to find the truth.  The Moon could easily be as you said a hidden truth because to gain justice you must get to the truth of the matter.    The queen of swords  could be a third party easily  a woman with conflict that has to go into the future with what she has just  dealt with in the Present.

That woman would be the person that has to act on her true feelings.  To achieve success. I would think that the Queen of Sword (who ever she may be) is the one that started looking for the truth (Justice).  But the Present experiences  have made her into the what she is now going into the future The Queen of Swords.  Yes I would say the Knight of Swords is someone as you have said…  The Heirophant shows us the pillars that lead to a door way to the Holy of Hoiles that someone must past through to see the truth.  Under the Hierophant or at his feet is two keys that might unlock that door.  

Okay, If I was doing this reading, because the Heirophant the truth isn’t known yet and is still something being looked for.  I don’t see the conclunsion you see with the “getting back together” or anything like that. I see hidden message that are yet to be unhidden.

NOW in saying all that it doesn't mean i know what your cards, your reading is really saying because i didn't do the reading.  i just throw that out there to give you an ideal of what the cards might be saying and what i saw.  just take what i said with a grain of salt and understand you did a pretty good reading all on your own.  

when I read a spread like this, which i do all the time, i read the cards in their place from past to present to futrue one at a time and when i am done with that i read them as a whole, as whole great big picture.
Give this some thought!  in the Past you have two minors (2 cups) and one major (strength)  overall feels, for this question, like a positive beginning.
In the Present, you have 2 majors and a court card.  overall someone is searching for something.
In the Future you have a minor, a court, a major card.  overall still some confusion on emotions and issues at hand. because of the mix of the cards.
Of course when i read a spread i go in with the thought i will read my spread in two parts like that.
just something to think about...
also tons of Major cards which in your case would be a lot of strong emotions going on with a lot of people ie which is what you said is going on.
well those were my thoughts, any thoughts, ideals, or question please just ask we are all here to learn.

overall the

Thank You again George!!!!   That did help getting a broader meaning too.  She has been seeking the truth for a long time in this situation and she does need to act on her true feelings.  But she hesitates because she is unsure of the truth.
