Could a kind reader do one for me please about the immediate future? To other posters, please don't post if you're going to say it's nonsense etc.

Thank you so much . That actually makes a lot of sense and really helps.
I am so grateful for your time !

Oh my goodness, these are all amazing…@cakeybird I would love a reading too if possible? I’ve never had one. Two things in our lives at the moment is 1. My husband starting treatment for serious illness next week. It’s going to a be a long slog. Just want some idea of if it will be worth it/will he be ok 2. Work (self employed) has been tricky for various reasons this year. Guess I just want to know will something change or will status quo return. Thank you in advance but also totally know you’ve a queue of people so no pressure! X

hi @XMummyTo5X Sorry to hear you've had a rough time. This is for fun only - I don't really want to answer questions about when a child might be born - there is too much scope for me to be wrong or it to be interpreted the wrong way, perhaps influencing you in the wrong way for good or bad! Sorry to hear you had a rough time of it. I did a general reading for you instead, which is meant to be an overview of something or everything going on for you right now instead, I hope this is helpful! Caveat all for fun only:

• firstly (page of wands) you are preparing and wanting to go on an adventure of some kind (or mission?) or there is something you really want and are putting the hard work in to get ready for it. It is a card of inspiration and potential! You are not afraid to start something new and see where it leads. However you are not quite ready to go yet! There's still some work ongoing that needs to be done. You are still perhaps a beginner in some way - so this is a card about learning to wield your own power, learning to manifest and also analysing your impulses and ensuring they are the right ones so you can implement them appropriately, doing ground work.

secondly - you got the ten of wands - this typically appears when you are feeling oppressed or overburdened by something (perhaps a desire, or the desire of someone else or someone oppressive?). You have been carrying a heavy load for so long! It is exhausting. Do you need to carry this load alone, or could you put some of it down? Are you being a bit of a martyr? Your intentions are honourable but perhaps you are doing that bit too much at the moment and everything is getting a bit much to handle! Is there a way you can share the load, or unburden yourself of your load somehow, or unburden yourself of something or someone's attitude towards you that is unhelpful. Step back a bit and consider what is best for you.

thirdly - the nine of wands - again a card of willpower and desires and having faced a challenge - you have been through the mill. You perhaps feel injured (physically or mentally) and a bit broken. But you are still standing! You have supportive people around you who could help you but you are battle weary from all the extra responsibility you have been carrying. You have perseverance but it might benefit you to have some boundaries. You are tired. Take this into account when considering your next steps.

I hope this is helpful! There were three wands cards in there which means you are burning so hard for something - so much desire, willpower and so on is there. I just get the impression you are a bit tired having had a rough time and a lot to carry, and for the moment need to step back a little until you are sure you are strong enough to undertake something for yourself. Look after you and be sure that others have your best interest at heart - as well as be sure for yourself you are not pushing too hard into a brick wall without being prepared or having rested!

I would love some feedback if you have it - as I am only learning. thank you! :)

Hello! For fun only!

I got the 5 of swords - has there been a bit of a dispute over the project? Or perhaps you feel like you might want to walk away. A conflict of some kind (different people with different opinions?, or perhaps you have conflicting thoughts about it). Sometimes this refers to a pyrrhic victory - is it worth all the energy you have put into it - would winning this conflict actually be good for you - or could it be worth walking away? Secondly the moon - you may not be seeing this project as it really is. This can be a difficult card that might mean you are projecting something onto the situation - anxieties or subconscious feelings that may not actually be real. Either way you are probably overthinking it a lot! The good thing is we have the Queen of Swords appear - she is an independent, intelligent woman - she could be you or a colleague, boss etc - she overcomes emotional confusion to cut through to real truth. This is about moving up from the muddy waters of the anxieties shown by the Moon (and perhaps the 5 of swords as well) and being honest with yourself or others - what is the real truth of this project? Are you overthinking and projecting anxieties into it, when in reality it could be something good? Or is it truly worth your time and energy and will it really benefit you in the long run, or would you be better moving on?

The Queen of Swords often draws boundaries - perhaps this would benefit you if there is conflict going on. And she would suggest that direct and honest communication (even if just with yourself!) would be best. You don't need to be mired up in overthinking and conflict - provided you communicate clearly and honestly, be mature. Constructive criticism could be a help here. You are capable and wise - you can really see what is best and execute it like a wise Queen (in short the conflict going on, overthinking and anxieties shown by the first two cards are not really helping you!).

Does this resonate? Would love some feedback! Thank you!

hello @TemporaryName123 I'm a bit loathed to comment on serious medical matters (although I wish your husband well) but am happy to do the self employed one! For fun only!

Firstly I got the 9 of swords - this is not always an easy card to receive and suggests that you've been struggling with a hell of a lot of anxiety over this issue. The question - is it all in your mind? either way you are seriously overthinking. Or perhaps you've had a revelation of sorts? Sometimes with this level of overthinking it can feel so oppressive but it is just like waking up from a nightmare - you realise it is not necessarily real!

Secondly the two of swords - this means you feel blocked or unsure. Things are hazy - there are a couple of different directions you could take but which one is appropriate? This is about sitting into your intuition and waiting. Meditating or being quiet - retreating into a peaceful state again (after your anxieties of the 9 of swords) so you can tap back into your intuitive state and work out what is best for you. Or perhaps while you wait for more information - it is ok to not know for now. Sometimes waiting and being quiet is what we really need to do, for then we can access real truth!

Finally the ten of wands - this is about burdens. Perhaps you have been carrying too much (mentally, emotionally or physically!). All of the anxiety of the first card perhaps? This mindstate is oppressive. Find a way to share the load, try not to be a martyr. Step back a little. It invites us to find balance in our lives. Perhaps your current situation or job or mindstate is not serving you. The tens often mean a culmination or change though into a new cycle. So the cycle could be drawing to a close? But figure out carefully how best to carry this load a bit better - making changes, dropping some pressure and expectation on yourself, or doing something a bit differently!

I would say everything has been tough and anxiety inducing - so seek a bit of balance and reflection as well as some quiet and meditative time, and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. You can definitely handle this but it might take a slightly new and less mentally pressuring approach - and some patience! How can you change things up a little to achieve this?

I hope this is helpful - would welcome some feedback :)

Incredible.
I am literally wishing I could walk away from a project because of delays and things dragging on. I know I am overthinking things and getting too bogged down in it taking too long. In the long run it will be a positive thing for me so I have just got to sit tight. It’s really affecting me having to wait for other people to pull their finger out and get things moving.
Thank you so, so much for this. It’s been very, very helpful.

Oh my goodness the anxiety thing is absolutely spot on! Thank you so much for taking the time to pull cards and write all that down! Really appreciate it and will try take some of the advice on board….im forever being told to take a minute and breathe and take time for myself…but when lol 😜 Thanks again x

Aww I'm glad that it resonated! I would say then that the Queen of Swords energy will definitely help you - maybe some grown up conversations, drawing boundaries, communicating clearly, providing only constructive criticism and so on. These might not be easy conversations to have but could ultimately help you, they might bring you some changes or additional respect.

Good luck!

I'm so glad you found it helpful! I hope that things change soon (as a freelancer I am having similar issues at the moment!!).

hello @wherever123 yes of course. Tarot cannot generally see the future but it can give you helpful advice for the here and now based on what is going on, I hope this is helpful! For fun only, as always.

Firstly I got the 8 of cups - this card suggests you feel something is missing and are considering going on a bit of a quest to find it! You have resources and good things around you already (perhaps family, friends, support or other resources) but they are not currently fulfilling you. Perhaps this is about going on a quest of self fulfilment, or a journey to find yourself. It may not be easy, but it could be worthwhile!

Secondly the 9 of spades - this is a card of fear and anxiety - waking up from an awful nightmare. Perhaps you have been through a mentally difficult time lately. It could have been really tough! The good thing is that perhaps it was just in your mind - like waking from a dream or a nightmare. This could be about a flash of inspiration that comes amid the darkness.

Finally the 7 of swords - be sure that you can trust someone or something before you make any commitments. Or perhaps someone recently deceived you? If you are considering romance you need to really know who someone is, or be truly ready.

Ok to sum up I am wondering if there was a recent issue with someone deceiving you or you not seeing a full picture about something. Or perhaps it is about being honest to yourself - are you ready for a relationship? Your peace of mind might be taken up with the wrong thing - be clear and honest with yourself. There may have been a very difficult "long dark night of the soul" but it is hopefully now over. The anxieties were likely just in your head - but they were paralysing you! It could be a time to take action - away from this anxiety (which is likely mental rather than real). Perhaps on a quest of some kind - a quest of self fulfilment, a spiritual journey to find yourself and seek that missing piece! Until you are 100% happy with yourself you might not be ready for a relationship, so perhaps at this point the journey is more about finding ways to be fulfilled on a self level. Not to say you won't ever get a relationship but about becoming whole and fulfilled in yourself and completely honest with yourself about your own mindstate, perhaps before you go looking for a relationship.

Hello @cakeybird Again, if you have time could you do a quick reading for me? Im stuck in a situation where I have to deal with family members who don’t like me and who I don’t like back. Not my lovely husband and children, I hasten to add. Will things ever get better and when will it end? If you have the time, thank you.

Hi @Loveheartsandlockets

This is just for fun as aways!

Ok I got the four of swords - which generally indicates a retreat of sorts to regather your strength is in order. Perhaps you've been in a difficult battle and are exhausted! Having a break, some peace and quiet is just what the doctor ordered. Alternately it could suggest a period of relative quiet (as opposed to the family issues you had going on) might be coming soon. Either way you need to take a little step back for your own health and sanity! This will help you regain your strength and willpower. Secondly the two of cups. This is about a commitment or partnership of some kind - perhaps it relates to your lovely husband! Perhaps he will support you through this or he might suggest to you ways through it. It might be good to lean on him at this point! You are in this together, not just alone, maybe you need to remind him to offer a bit of support or just lean into him a bit more. Or maybe you need to ask him (or someone else) to step up family or emotional commitments a bit in general to give you a break! Finally the 8 of swords. This suggests you are mentally bound up by all of this stuff going on - but those bonds are not physical. You are free to walk away any time you want to. Perhaps you have a bit of a victim complex, or perhaps you feel some sense of being trapped or caged. The good news is you are free to leave any time. Do not let the current events trap you - even if just mentally - you are a free agent. There is peace and tranqulility above the clouds if you choose to be free! That could be admitting you are not as trapped as you think you are, or making a physical break from whatever is going on. Or just disengaging mentally - perhaps some emotional boundaries are in order.

Further to the above I am also thinking that perhaps the two of cups (commitment) in combination with the 8 of swords might mean you feel obligated and trapped by some sort of commitment, but really that is just in your mind - you don't need to engage if you don't want to and a period of retreat and solitude is in order - remember your boundaries.

I hope this is helpful :) Good luck! I would welcome any feedback as I am learning.

Thank you very much.

it’s really nice to have things confirmed that I’m probably in the right place at the moment and the final card you drew for me does mean something in that this is what we’ve worked for, for all our lives.

I think I just get a little impatient at times because it’s been a long long slog and the time that I am looking forward to when we can be together again there’s still some way away to go, so the temperance card is interesting and suggests to just keep hanging in there.

The lovers card is more of question and you framed it well.

I don’t know what the future holds, and perhaps it is to follow more of my own dreams, even while staying with DH.

I do dream about meeting someone new sometimes, although I don’t feel it’s essential to happiness to have someone in my life. Instead what I want is so much more than romantic love, which may sound odd to some people but for me, I’m looking for the essence of life, vibrancy experiences, joy, new things, relationships yes, but on all levels, not just one love of my life! I want freedom to choose, to explore, to be free again. Perhaps that can be done with DH? I’m not sure!

Your reply is interesting! Well, maybe at this time at least, you don't need to split up to explore more of these things. Perhaps you can put some time into pursuing individual pursuits before you make any serious decisions about your future. This might give you the clarity you need! You could start to do a bit of exploring on your own - e.g. travel, learning, makeover, self interests, learn a craft, explore some independence despite being in a relationship. This exploration might give you more understanding about your conundrum in the longer term! I think a lot of people lose themselves in relationships - but often find that rediscovering their own passions can either bring them closer together (as you have put a little distance between yourselves - absence makes the heart grow fonder) or be enlightening - your new explorations might make you decide that you do want to be independent! You have the willpower to make some changes - even if it is just one step at a time. These steps may inform your ultimate decision. Don't lose your true self just because you've been in a relationship forever. Work on your individuality despite being in a relationship. If your partner can't support you in your quest for a certain level of independence then is it worth staying together!? I hope this sheds more light!

Just to add to the thread for everyone on here - and people who might ask for a new reading - that I am honestly finding the whole thing a bit distracting and have some serious work to do and it is impacting that a lot.

Each reply takes a good 20 or so minutes and I don't have the time each day to dedicate right now. I am signing off from doing more readings for now.

Thanks everyone for understanding and for those who I have provided readings for I would be super grateful if you could provide any feedback if you've not already. I may come back and do another thread at some point!

I wish you all well and hope that you have found some enlightenment or solace in these readings - or just something useful to take away and help you decide what is best for you!

Thank you for sharing your dilemmas with me, wishing you all the very best.

Thank you very much @cakeybird yoir reading was amazing. Thank you again!

Your reading is spot on. I’ve been in therapy and this is exactly what the counsellor told me to do. You have a gift.

thank you @Loveheartsandlockets it is great to get feedback and I appreciate it! I hope that things improve for you! :)

Thank you so much. I didn’t completely understand this at first but it resonated strongly. Looking back it is so incredibly spot on. I find myself in a place of complete rebuilding, paradigm shift and remembering and it feels fated. Thank you, you are beautifully gifted.
