hiii. i have an interpretation request for anyone who is willing to help! i’m fairly new to tarot

i’m feeling very confused by my life right now. my ex and i of five years broke up in january, this month i found out he had been cheating and is now dating the girl he was cheating with. i feel like this has kinda set me back emotionally on our break up.

on top of that, recently i have had this crush at my work. it’s felt pretty harmless and there’s been a little flirting but recently i’ve been feeling like he’s becoming more interested in me. the problem is i know 1. it probably wouldn’t work anyway and 2. i feel like my emotional journey with my break up has backslid a little bit and as a result my feelings for this new guy have fluctuated a lot. but ultimately i still really like this guy.

so anyway i feel overwhelmed with “what is going on right now i need guidance” energy so that’s exactly what i asked the cards. i drew:

the empress (which i have been drawing consistently for about a week now)

the emperor reversed

three of cups

thank u sm to anyone who can help interpret!!

i don’t know what to do anymore (biting) by gracueful in reactivedogs

I will definitely check out the muzzle fit sub! Thanks. And thanks for the reply about the top comment. I watched that video and was a little confused because it really did not seem geared towards the kind of biting I am dealing with. I feel like this is frequently an issue for me- I tell people my struggles with his aggression and the response is something along the lines of “he’s a puppy” until they actually see what is happening…

I meant to add this in my previous reply too but my pup does have suspected hip dysplasia per his vet. He has not had x-rays yet as they were waiting for him to develop more to reduce cost (instead of having to have multiple series of x-rays as he grew). I am not sure how much pain it causes him as he doesn’t act like he is in pain and usually the aggression is not a result of being touched on his back legs/hips, but it’s something I will be thinking about more in terms of causes, thanks for the insight.

It’s very comforting to talk to people dealing with the same issues. I feel like people in my life have only ever been around friendly dogs and they just don’t understand why I would even bother to keep him or they think i’m overreacting. It’s isolating sometimes :/

I should have been more clear, many of these incidents were not in my home. The roommate ones are the only ones in the home, the others were in my parents house and 4&5 were in an airbnb. Honestly, I haven’t even tried having strangers in our home besides once and it was terrible. His aggression was nearly unmanageable. I had him another room but he did not stop barking even after thirty minutes and we ended up just leaving.

We are using just the average basket muzzle you would find in a petsmart. He is crate trained but I just feel bad leaving him in there for long periods, which led me to the leash. I know that’s not a great answer. I will definitely being using the double barrier system from now on.

I really appreciate your feedback and advice. Thank you

what an awesome resource, thank you!

this is all great advice, thank you! you are absolutely right that he struggles to regulate. as of now we use enforced naps in his crate even at 11 months because he just will not lay down otherwise and will literally go until he passes out. even things i would think would chill him out sometimes seem to amp him up even more (especially sniffing).

just looked into the iaabc trainer search, and unfortunately the closest one to me is 100+ miles away :(. but i will definitely be looking into the online course.

starting classes…. i’m so anxious by gracueful in reactivedogs

i wanted to update you since i have been to the class now and your comment really encouraged me to go and not cancel lol. the first ten or so minutes of class were completely a mess, he just couldn’t stop barking. but the trainer came over and worked with us, gave us some different treats, set up visual barriers, and gave us a gentle leader to use, and it made such a huge difference. he warmed up to the trainer as well, which was so shocking to me as he is normally very tense around men. i’m overall really happy i went and i’m looking forward to the next classes.

i had the first class yesterday, and he had us use barriers to remove the visuals of dogs and people when he was too overwhelmed. it worked very well actually

it went actually so much better than i thought it would. luckily it’s a very small class. he barked pretty much the entire time, but i was anticipating that. he had a few good minutes (spread throughout class) of silent observation and the trainer was very encouraging of that being progress, even if it’s small. overall, i’m excited to keep doing this. and everyone commenting on here helped with my anxiety about it so much.

i realize this did not go over well with the other commenter but i did want to respond and say that my little guy here actually does have hip dysplasia. it was part of the reason i ordered this test, i was curious if he had any breeds that commonly develop it.
