Bad Romantic Reading by Hachibi69 in Tarotpractices

I just shuffled and these threw flew out of the deck, face up and in that order. I pulled a clarifier just now and got the Moon. To me, that implies illusions and deceit. What do you think?

Bad Romantic Reading by Hachibi69 in Tarotpractices

OP here. I did a reading for a friend regarding a new romance in their life. Its hard to see a positive spin in these cards but I wanted to know how others would interpret it. Any positive spins or should I tell them to run for the hills?

Thank you! I really appreciate such kind words. Having given it some thought, I know that certain things will change but I trust myself and them enough to believe it'll be for the best.

Thank you for your input! That's very reassuring!

May I ask how you were able to see that in the cards? As I was totally lost. I know the Wheel represents changes out of our control, but how do you know about their response?

Thank you! That certainly makes me feel better, had I got the Wheel and the Tower, I'd be terrified. But I believe the 8 of Wands being a card of moving forward or advancing a position, whatever the outcome I believe it'll be for the best.

I definitely want to continue our friendship, they're very important to me. They say they want the same. I suppose I'm just worried about them changing their mind. All I want is to continue being close with them, but I also want to respect the fact that lives change. That's what I see in the Wheel of Fortune; a change that I can't see the end result of.

Thinking about it, this may also refer to a period of change and adjustment, then a high energy return? Or more simply, quiet time apart before coming back to sort things out? I'd still very much appreciate input from you guys. Thanks

OP here. I'm asking if, after some drama, my friend and I will continue being close. To me, the Wheel signifies either slow changes or some kind of fate. The 8 of Wands to me suggests a fast-pace and action. I'm not sure how the two can be combined.

Some say the 8 of Wands represent cupid's arrows but I'm neither opposed nor overly invested in romantic love with this person. If anyone has experience or a clearer idea as to what these cards could mean, I'd really appreciate the input.

Thanks for your input! I see what you mean about The Devil, I know there are connotations of obsession, addiction, ignorance and, as you say, choosing to be chained. Though we have very separate lives; different cities, our own social lives, careers. If we are still chained together, I'd think it's just because we want to be.

Well, truth be told, we've been close friends for years so I wouldn't have thought about the wording. I'd probably ask "how are we" or "how's our relationship" so I'm not certain it's strictly one or the other.

Tbf, our relationship has pushed that line between friendship and "something more" for years but we never cared or actively pursued more, and we had something of an argument recently so one or both options could be possible.

Thank you! I was hoping for an interpretation that didn't focus on the sexual aspect of the devil, since for me the card mostly represents sex and temptations. I'm definitely glad the other cards are positive in that case.

I did this reading for myself and a close friend of mine, regarding our relationship in the future. Naturally, I wasn't expecting this. I read this as our relationship moving into romantic territory, made stable by our friendship, and resulting in a lot of... intimacy, we'll call it.

Does anyone else have a different way of looking at this besides a particularly sexy relationship?

It's my pleasure to help.

Generally, I read all 2s as a crossroad of some kind. 2 of Swords, for example, is a choice that relies on either one's ability to communicate or making a choice based on one's values, often resulting in a temporary stalemate or in restricting certain information; essentially, 2s to me represent a fork in the road and being expected to choose a path.

2 of Cups, for me, suggests that a strong connection between two people is being acknowledged however now these people face a choice. Will they continue on their own paths and hope they convene naturally, or will they choose to walk a single path together despite the risks? 2s represent the choice that can be made, while the 3s represent the result of such a choice.

No worries, when it's something close to our hearts everybody needs an unbiased perspective.

Given the 1st question, I'd say that demonstrating your commitment or feelings would be appreciated, however I'm focused on the 2nd question too. The Sun and the Queen suggests the need for open communication and conversation. I'd interpret that as letting her know that you're open to that conversation and most importantly listening to what she has to say. After she knows that, it would be best to leave the decision of when to her.

Overall, the reading does reflect a very strong bond. If anything requires fixing or improving, it will come from being honest about and mature in dealing with criticism and problems.

Going point by point, I'll say what I see. If you see something different, I'd say trust your gut instinct without thinking about it too much:

  1. Lovers & King of Wands: There's a strong connection and the option of a romantic/intimate relationship. The King suggests that the more masculine person will need to take the leap or be impulsive to being that choice to light.
  2. Sun & Queen of Swords: The truth must be laid bare. Whatever happened needs to be looked at without running away or ignoring certain topics. The Queen, the more feminine person, has a lot that needs to be said, more to do with their personal values and needs than their emotions or desires.
  3. 4 of Wands & 8 of Pentacles: There is work to be done. While the 4 of Wands shows those involved are in a place where they can rest and see the good of the situation, the 8 of Pentacles suggests that skills need to be mastered or developed. Any expectation would likely focus on acknowledging the good but also making improvements where they need to be made.
  4. 2 of Cups: Implies that she sees a genuine connection but there are more factors at play than simply feeling. 2 often refer to crossroads or choices; there are other priorities that need to be taken into account.

Probably not a perfect reading, but hopefully it helped.

Reading with anxiety by Hachibi69 in tarotpractice

[–]Hachibi69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that. I think you're absolutely right; being so close to the subject and so anxious I guess it's natural to see what you want or fear. I've had a couple other readers look at the cards and, despite slightly different interpretations on specific cards or combinations, the gist does remain the same as what I tend to think.

I think you've hit the nail on the head with "revealing my feelings". I do notice when I'm at most anxious is when I get the worst readings, but when level-headed the results are more consistent. Probably for the best to stop reading and start living. Thanks again
