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

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

I’d love one if you still want to practise. Thanks.

This is so strange; I came onto my phone thinking I would ask ChatGPT psychic!!

will this double embryo transfer work?

To be fair chatgpt would probably be much quicker xD

There is a period of a fresh start after a time of stagnation or listlessness. I wonder if you'd maybe put off trying for a while and are now renewing efforts. Assuming that's not still to come.

I see you resting a lot. I don't know if they ask you to take it easy or something whilst waiting on these things to take?

Honestly I'm not getting much on this read at all. It's normally an area id avoid, life/death/serious health issues so... I think some things we aren't supposed to know.

Sorry I can't give you more pp.

Oh, hello again haha.

I draw the star card. A woman fills a cup from a stream in one hand and in her other hand she holds a cup that loses water. It does seem apt in imagery in that in trying to fill a cup, another one leaks out. Which of course could be the fear.
That in catering for your own needs, something else suffers.

But the star card I've always found to be one filled with promise. With following your stars. A card of freedom and self fulfilment.

I also draw temperance. Patience.
And the magician. Creating your own destiny.

The cards seem hope filled. It might take a little time and maneuvering to get the balance in your life right but it's a pretty firm yes imo.

This really resonates with me! I’ve put off searching for love, as I worry how it'll affect my boys! I often wonder, will I ever have the space to enjoy both?
You’ve got both of my situations spot on, and I just love your imagery and explanations. Thanks so much ❤️

MotherOfShihTzus · 28/07/2025 22:54

@Sodthesystemthank you so much for responding, I can understand why this would be a delicate topic. What you have said is accurate; I had a year off ivf, after 3 ivf miscarriages last years. I had laparoscopic surgery to heal my womb of a few conditions, and have been in a medically induced menopause to help for the previous 3 months. And you’re right, I’m currently resting as much as I can whilst still moving. This is my final transfer so have thrown everything at it. Thank you for taking the time x

DoubleShotEspresso · 29/07/2025 16:42

@MotherOfShihTzus Sending you all the love and very best of luck, I really hope all works out for you. Flowers

Ok so a lot came up here.

Twice the seven of swords popped out you see which depicts someone who is carrying a heavy burden. I want to be sure that you are not carrying this alone. One person cannot fix a relationship on their own. It takes both partners to want it and to be willing to do the work.

Just a side note too, in this card the person also caries 5 swords and looks back at 2 he has dropped. This can point to issues around infidelity. Or, issues of hanging onto the past, unable to enjoy what they currently have.

Something is heavy. Perhaps past emotional damage. There is something around healing which also makes me wonder regarding health issues. Also the word 'bashfullness' which may be something revolving around intimate health or feelings regarding intimacy.

There is a wistfulness. An issue connecting dreams with reality. Someone might be imagining more into the relationship than there is in some way.

I want to say that wounds cannot heal with thorns still in place (Annnnd that doesn't sound dodgy at all).

It seems some information is coming in or something change is set to happen in winter or spring. Perhaps around the time the snowdrops start to come out.

I don't know how else to say this but, I really don't like this situation. It's not to say I don't like the relationship of course. But I keep getting 'heavy heavy heavy'. Perhaps smothering too.

I hope whatevers going on here you can resolve.
I leave you with one last thought which was coming up - how much supporting should a pillar need? When it's its job to BE that support.

Wow thank you so much. Yes I am carrying a burden alone, and I will al days do so, but this person has the capacity to make my life easier. Everything you say is true. He is a past boyfriend and we are giving things another go after not having the chance to try before. Not infidelity, but many issues in accepting our past lives. Much healing to be done by us both. Exactky tgar - bashful. I use this ti explain why we didn’t get together properly before. He says he was too shy to make contact after I left. He is scared of intimacy. Yup wistfulness and I often accuse myself of being in love with love: Thank you xxx

A burst of new energy and willingness to step out if your comfort zone. Something to do with public recognition of achievements and success.
Ambition.

There is fire. And grit.

"If this doesn't work for me I will pack my shit up and move right on to the next thing. I am done playing".

The cards suggest creating your own reality. As in that feeling of, if you believe in it enough, it will come to pass.

I'm reminded of something I was watching about if your desire is to be say, a writer, you need to say 'i am a writer'. Not, will be, AM. I think that's similar to the new age manifesting practice. But I mean it more in the way of, you take the steps to live in a way that reflects who you want to be. In order to become it.

Thank you ❤️

CAMHShelp · 19/07/2025 00:31

Yes please. Should I leave him?

The cards talk about finding strength.

And also finding strength to resist something that is being offered. It is not what it appears.

The thought I had was when something new and shiny comes along, like a new, younger man. But he only wants you because he gets off on taking people from their current partners.

However, it can also be a current partner making promises to change and...not. Or, proposing marriage solely to keep you from leaving. Some agenda that isn't in your best interests.

The advice is to resist the offer whatever it may be. Even if it is tempting.

It feels like there is something revolving around naivety or childishness. If it's not a younger man it's maybe being fed up waiting on someone to 'act their age'. There could even be some sort of mid life crisis. On either side.

There is lots of leaving energy in the sense of very much a fresh start but there is also the 8 of pentacles which is a card of working on things. It may be that the relationship has run it's course as a partnership but bonds of friendship may remain or, ties like children keep things from being over. Sometimes we have to just let go, but, with love.

Scrabblingaround · 30/07/2025 20:47

I'd love one please.

Does the old flame who's now an old friend still have any feelings for me 25 years after we first met?

Will I ever be desired by anyone again?

Is my 'roommates' marriage going to just rumble on forever or will something change?

Hi all, sorry to have vanished there for a bit.
I've been going through a cancer scare lately so things have been a bit of a flurry, and have just been given the all clear :) :) not out of the woods yet entirely as need a surgery but probably not going to snuff it. Touch wood xD

I shall once again start to plod through these.
Thanks all for your patience xx

Yes please! Will I be successful in my current battle please?

There is conversion around you perhaps currently feeling at a loss.

A warning not to escalate negativity or negative thinking.

A need to take pause and 'clean house'.
For some reason clean house feels specific. Whether it's removing someone toxic from your life or adopting a healthy eating plan, trying to clear out negative thinking or going through a detox from addiction, there's emphasis on a part you need to play. It could also have roots in morality. Eg: keeping your powder dry. Not airing our someone else's skeletons if you have skeletons they can use against you.

The cards suggest that with dedication, this battle can be won. But there might be more to things than you initially realised. Not more that's bad necessarily, just more to find out that may influence the turn of the tide.

One thing I was picking up on was a feeling of something like 'why do I have to do all the work?'. Like if you don't do it, if you're not switched on and on the ball 24/7 you feel like other people let you down (or even, yourself). Hyper vigalence Or like, maybe you're getting irritated with people or a process. But the cards advise to just try to keep calm and carry on. Don't lose the rag at anyone if you can help it. You can get through this.

riverforest11112 · 19/07/2025 01:17

Please I would appreciate if you could do one for me in particular of a man in my life and about him / us and anything else money / anything thank you x

Communication, purification, healing of wounds.

This seems to be a detox of sorts.

Possible questions to consider
'am I (or another person involved) inflicting my own wounds on others?'
'how do I achieve balance and peace in my life?'
'Am I communicating effectively and is what I communicate to others being heard?'

One situation it makes me think of is when you try and try to get a person to understand your point of view but no matter what you do it's like they are determined to not get it. And you need to step off the merry go round of trying to explain yourself. And only then can you heal. The wound cannot heal with the knife still in it.

Now that's really specific and I don't know if it applies but it's just an example of there needing to be a communication (or ending of one) or a clearing up or cleansing of some sort in order to heal either the relationship or someones hurt. It feels like something needs to be let go of in order for there to be a sigh of relief and move forwards.

Regarding money, there is talk of a collaboration or teamwork. And a celebration. There is also talk of conserving it, perhaps for future investing purposes. Or simply, saving for a rainy day.

@Sodthesystem I am so pleased to read your good news, have been through very similar, so really do understand the relief you must be feeling right now. I really hope that you are taking some time for yourself now... Flowers

Your reading is spookily eery in some of the detail, quite honestly.
The negativity around this specific issue/challenge has been thoroughly debilitating and distressing, I did not win at round one of this battle, but reassuring your post suggests that it may be worth me investing my time into round 2 or God forbid round 3, interesting you used the word "dedication" as this has been a soul-destroying labour of love since May...

I really need this to work out, so am praying and have spent all day today creating further files...with a view to getting decision makers to agree (the biggest of all this challenge!)

The healthy eating plan is spot-on, I have signed up for a programme in late August, having had previous successes. The addiction is one thing I cannot really place in relation to myself(unless an unhealthy obsession with this current challenge maybe?), though it does resonate hard about a very close loved one, which has rather escalated in recent weeks, bringing huge disappointments, perhaps it's them?

The 24/7 / Hyper vigilance its the most accurate of your reading, I have been very much solo on this project if you will, I have found this the hardest to contend with of all if I am honest, you are quite right here. Have been taken to my absolute limit lately with all this, I am trying hard daily not to lose my rag, but yeah.... it could happen. That said, I can get through this, I know, thanks so much for recognising this though ;-)
Still pushing!

Sodthesystem · 04/08/2025 21:04

Themtheywho · 19/07/2025 01:37

Yes please. My question is should I stay with my husband or leave? Also can I trust him not to leave me in the future? Thanks in advance.

Ooft no pressure on me there then xD

I feel 'Cover all your bases' is what you need to know. I think of this as perhaps, if you decide you have to leave or, if he were to leave you, make sure you have protections in place. Like a nest egg of savings. Or a bag prepared incase you need to get out fast for some reason. There a lot of talk about not leaving yourself vulnerable.

When asked about trust in general: The cards suggest there may be deception in future. But the way it's coming across is 'if you close your eyes and look away, of course it leaves you vulnerable to a strike'.

Not ignore danger or behaviour you don't like. Doing so will not make the problem go away.
The deception mentioned may even be self deception. Although if I'm honest, the cards look like they are indicating him.

Perhaps being on the ball, having conversations rather than brushing things under the carpet will help to keep both parties true. If, that's what you want.

But for some reason I'm thinking of that doctor who episode where it's like 'don't blink, don't look away and don't blink'. And realistically, that's no way to live. If it's meaning that's how you are feeling.

There's something about judgement. Perhaps the fear of being judged for leaving? Or simply telling you to trust your judgement.

But the strongest thing coming through is to protect yourself.

Thank you.
Am I on the right life path?

The leader and possibly, the helper.

There's a numerology thing where you use your birthdates to calculate a 'life path' I think life path one is the leader (it's been a while so I'm not sure) and I was thinking that when I looked at your word choice but wasn't going to say. But the first card that came out of the deck for you was the emperor. And I suppose he is a leader. So I thought I'd mention it.

It would be funny if that was your numerological life path too xD

There's a lot about either leading or, forging your own path in the cards. It feels like the deck a warrior or a spiritual teacher would have. There is also something about helping others. And...trying to think of a way to put this, it's like 'being a warrior (or a messenger) of the light'. This could be teaching. Or spiritual work. Or life coaching.

I was actually wondering if I was reading my own cards here. Let's hope it's your reading and I'm not balzing this up somehow lol.

Independence. But not in the sense of not caring about others. I feel what you are supposed to be doing needs someone who isn't afraid to say no to the status quo if required. And who knows when to be strong and when to be soft...Annnnd now im describing toilet roll, great xD

You are meant to have freedom to create your own path in a way that works for you. To live in the sun and to strive to bring the sun to others.
