Anyone fancy a quick tarot card reading? (I need practice)

[Sodthesystem]

Trying to get better at reading the cards.

Anyone got something they want a quick answer too? Yes/no questions are ideal for the sake of speed but if you really want to know something else feel free to ask.

I'm NOT a psychic so you'll probably need to give some context. Just whatever you are comfortable with.

Just for fun guys. Don't take it too serious x

What on earth os going on with my job? I can’t figure out my colleagues and it’s confusing?! Who is talking the truth or being genuine?

Thank you

Yes please 🙏
Will my family be OK and finally have a period of real happiness after so much loss

@Sodthesystem yes please. I'm at a crossroads and cannot make up my mind.

My career, or lack of. I've handed my notice in at work. Should I pursue a counselling qualification or Beauty Therapy?

Thank you

Thank you so much Sodthesystem. I've been single a long time and was much younger when I was last having relationships and probably didn't choose the best men for me at that time so your comment about bad decisions makes sense.

Now that I've been single a long time and I'm at an age where I feel like it's probably too late and I've missed my chance and I am very much an all or nothing person as well so that feels very accurate. I am feeling really low about myself so I can understand the self love stuff although it's not something I find easy and it's difficult to know where to start. I would really like to think things can get better, so thank you so much for your reading.

Thanks for this! It’s a thinking outside the box one for sure

WOW! my daughter is disabled and needs me a lot so that makes absolute sense. There would be financial inequity between us as well.

Absolutely spot on. Thank you

Thanks so much for the reading @Sodthesystem. This is the first time someone reads for me the Tarot cards and found your comments deeply moving. It is true that my personal life has been very difficult during recent years, including a very painful separation, and I have struggled a lot to decide how to move on. I am concerned that I am creating a fantasy world on the basis of this professional but friendly relationship with my colleague without any clear signs that he may feel the same and it looks like the cards are possibly pointing to this. Btw, I read some of your other replies to other posters' questions in this thread and found them so supporting and thoughtful, thank you!

@Sodthesystem I’m really sorry to chase you, I’ve been trying so hard to not and to wait…I just almost feel desperate for a response now, and am checking the thread all the time. I realise that’s ridiculous 🙈

She's working through in order, your post was at
19.18 on 19/07 and currently she is replying to questions from 23.27 on 18/07. I think it will be a while before you get an answer here.

Maybe it would be helpful to make a post in relationships to talk things through while you are waiting? It sounds like things are very stressful?

Just thought I'd let you know....I found out today that I have an interview!

Hi baking sorry for the wait, as pp said I'm trying to work through them all in succession and there's rather a lot.

What I might start doing is letting people know when I'm done for the day/a specific sit down so the next few due aren't sitting about wondering if I'm working on theirs.

Relationship forum here is a good place for advice as pp said. You can also look into YouTube tarot readings called "pick a card". Which are at least a fun distraction if nothing else. I actually have one up but it was a first dabble so nothing spectacular.

Ooh exciting! Good luck!

I wonder if grumpy old man will show up haha. Bit specific to be fair though. The imagery was someone just sitting with their arms folded.

There's nothing wrong with a little bit of fantasy to be fair! But I think, and not to sound like a total cynic here but sometimes with people, the fantasy is better than the reality. And sometimes when we are feeling sad or lonely we can tend towards, I think the new buzz word for it is 'limmerance'.

There's nothing saying you can't invite him for a drink after work and see though, if you wanted. Sounds like you are long overdue something nice. But maybe your not quite ready for that yet. Or don't want to risk an uncomfortable workplace, which is understandable.

Thankyou for narrowing that down for me.

So just a little, lighthearted question then 😆

I don't tend to answer questions around life and death but I read to see if there was news I could give you regarding your daughters happiness.

The cards talk about there being many ways to make a family. And may also be indicating a marriage in your daughters future. Or, indicating that there is something coming in that is 'meant for her'.

Two options or opportunities come up. Not one.
There's a lot of talk about pairs.
But I presume its about choice or options rather than say, twins.

Things may feel stuck and stifling atm but, better times are on there way.

Family and partnership are very prominent in the reading. Both the ten of cups for example which shows mother, father and one child looking at a happy home they have built and the 10 of pentacles which is similar, with a little doggy into the bargain.

There is a 'look what we have built together' feeling. I cannot say what this family looks like for her. But I can it seems to be a happy one.

That's wonderful, and actually quite meaningful, thank you so much xx

Thank you so much for your insightful reply . Very interesting

The tower, the chariot, the death card.

Umm...I mean I think that might be a no don't you? You know, just a possibility. Call it a sneaking suspicion xD

Not that is want to encourage you to take any financial risks of course. But maybe start looking for something else job or position wise.

It looks like things are maybe about to come crashing down and there will be a movement to a new beginning.

The moon, the sun, the wheel of fortune.

A decision yet to be made.

Perhaps something about backstabbing. Or someone brokenhearted.
(10 of swords and 3 of swords)
HR issue by any chance?

Hard to know without context.

When two people have swords raised, neither can make peace. Swords aren't always raised in offense though, they can be to defend.

I wanted more info and so drew two cards from a deck outwith tarot used to add more. The first reads 'Assertiveness - stand up for your beliefs and only say yes if you really want to'. A second reads 'The old weight and habit of debt is lifted from you and your life'.

Context wise I wonder if the relationship was one in which you felt on the back foot. Struggling to make things right. As if you were continually paying a debt that instead of shrinking, seemed only to expand.

Relationships should not drain us. They should not be a challenge. They should be a support. For both parties.

The jury is out on if he will return. But it seems that that's not the important question.

The cards say it's ok to want to protect yourself and urge you to consider if repeating old habits will only lead to more debt.

Thanks. That sounds like a lot of swords. Yes it is a HR issue and a trust issue. I think it's also an issue of how much or little I let work and work environment be part of how I see myself. Been gaslighted. Been thinking about where to be at work. Thanks again.

Yes please 🙏🏼 I would love to take part in this if you are still working through them. I am interested in what my future may hold with regards to love, relationships and family. Will I meet someone and create a happy and secure family unit with them? Will I have another child?

UPDATE:
Hey all, just updating.

Currently working through the posts on page 5. It's been a busy few days so I've slowed down a bit. But hoping to crack on more again soon.

I did post a rough cut off around page 12 however I might still answer people who post after it.

If the thread fills up, I will respond to the people who posted via message.

Thanks for everyone's patience. I didn't expect the thread to be quite so popular xD

I may post links to my YouTube pick a card videos in the next few days. I've been umming and awwing about it. Perhaps I will make some more and see how I feel.

Love and light to you all (because i feel I need a cutie hippy dippy sign out xD) xx

thanks @Sodthesystem i think i’m page 6 so looking forward to it! You are very generous. this is a lot of time to give up to strangers 😃

I can't work out how your page numbering works 😂

I'm on page 2, but according to the time of the posts your are currently answering, I'm still in the queue (my time 19/07/2025 02:39) so it's all good!

Sorry to clog up your thread, but wanted to say that you're doing a great job answering and following up with posters.

I see a lot of soul searching. Someone throwing up their hands like 'what more can I do'.

Whether its repairing the relationship or, dealing with things that weigh heavy on it - there is an issue around support. Are both parties supportive and working towards the same goal?

When queried further I drew the 4 of cups but in a reversed position. New willingness to embrace help or a new offer of help coming in. It also represents new motivations and renewed energy.

Making sure both parties feel supported is a common theme in relationships and tough times.
Doing everything alone can lead to burn out and I see this feeling in the cards.

I pull a card with the lotus flower, 'unfoldment'. If I remember the lotus grows in muddy water. 'Rebirth' also comes up. It looks to be saying that though times are tough, they will make you stronger. Whether that is 'you' as in you or as in the couple, I do not know.

It gives me the feeling that counselling or support in other forms such as your local gp may be relevant moving forwards.
(Although please note, just incase abuse is relevant -though I do not see that in the cards- that it is never recommended to go to counseling with an abuser. Opt for private counseling instead).

Whether linked to rebirth or seperate, 'spring' comes up. Overall, this is going to be tough. But it you will come through the other side and it will feel like a welcome fresh start.
