I would like a reading, please.

Hi there!

Is anybody available to do a reading for me? I'm wondering about the times I have ahead, especially in terms of creative work and interpersonal relationships. I'd also like some advice on if I should actively date and seek out a mate or just be alone right now.

If you think you'd give good advice on either of those fronts, please respond here or PM.

I'll be most appreciative of what anybody has to say. :)

Thanks!!

Hi starrykitten,

I'd be happy to draw cards for you on each of the areas you mentioned. Pm me your first name and date of birth, and I'll get your reading back to you as soon as I can. :)

Creative Work: Knight of Wands

This suggests that creatively, you'd greatly benefit from a change in routine. This could range from a physical change of scenery to branching out in different areas. If you're an artist, experimenting in a different medium could produce some exciting rewards. This card indicates exhilarating changes; this is the right time for you to try something new.

Interpersonal Relationships: The Devil and The Emporer

It looks like you're going to be experiencing some conflicts, most likely with someone in authority or someone who has a big hold over you. The Devil here suggests emotional manipulation, and even possible abusive behavior. Be very careful of anyone trying to pull your strings.

Pursuing A New Relationship: King of Cups

This card suggests that pursuing a relationship at this time will take a good deal of effort and patience. The King of Cups is very good at figuring other people out, and when he wishes he can use this ability to help motivate and encourage others. He can make a terrific friend. He himself, however, will not want to divulge too much of his emotions to others. He tends to keep an emotional distance and is often reluctant to commit. As a romantic partner, this is an all or nothing kind of guy. He won't be interested in half-heartedly entering into a relationship, and he will expect a deep level of commitment and trust from you before he lets his guard down.

Being By Yourself: The Hermit and the Ace of Wands

It strongly looks like this would be a good time for you to take a break from relationships and focus on other aspects of your life. The Hermit advises a time of contemplation and re-evaluation, while the Ace of Wands suggests increased motivation and new beginnings. These cards suggest that focusing on yourself and doing some inner work right now would be most rewarding.

Thank you very much! This all seems in keeping with what I've been thinking.

I would like some feedback, please, about the accuracy of this reading (especially since I'm using inverted cards which I don't usually do). I haven't read any of the other readings yet so...here goes:

At this moment, you are in an emotional and creative slump. Looking at your cards, you don't have a single card denoting emotion or creativity. You've run dry and you're confused and you're also distressed.

At this moment, you feel powerless. You don't feel like you have a good grip on your financial future. Not only that, but also in other areas of your life. This is caused by something that happened in the past that you felt needed to happen, but turned out, perhaps, wasn't such a good idea. However, there's absolutely no doubt that you couldn't have prevented it from happening or that you thought it needed to happen at the time. It just happened to impact your life in a negative way, that's all.

In your immediate past, there was a guy who was sort of irresponsible. He liked to start things and was really busy all the time, but was a lot of talk and little walk. He was really enthusiastic, probably passionate, but perhaps a little bit emotionally stunted. You couldn't get him to sit down and just have a nice cup of coffee and it seemed that he didn't pay a lot of attention to you.

An influence is going to pass through your life who is a child/teenager (not certain) but is very patient and nurturing. However, I don't think she's going to be having a positive effect on your life. She will bring with her a sense of defeat and probably amplify your helplessness to a certain extent. Perhaps she had somethign to do with the young man in the past? In any case she's going to frustrate you even more, but she seems like a nice enough person (at first).

You are advised to stop worrying so much about others and worry about yourself. You need to worry and concentrate on yourself for now, because you don't have the resources or stability to concentrate on someone else. It's probably counter intuitive to just do that for you, but you should probably take a breather from creating and nurturing and being generous and be a little selfish. You're going to have to assert yourself and get what you want, even if you are acting a little selfish. You need to re-establish a sense of power in your life and you need to feel as if your life isn't spinning out of control.

Your near future is going to be a disappointment. It will hold a failed project, probably something that you put your heart and soul into. However, it might not be an unjust failure. It seems that you've been really distracted and you haven't been laying down a lot of groundwork very carefully lately. This failure will be very much the product of negligence or laziness or something else. Basically, you now you didn't put your heart and soul into it, though you'd like to think you did, and you know that you could have done better.

You are obviously a pushover (or so it seems). That is the reason why you're all over the place and why you're not getting the things you want to get done, done. You have to change being so generous if you want to get things done.

Other people feel for your sufferings, but, at the same time, they don't feel like you're undeserving of at least a little bit of it. They think that some of the things you're going through is partially your fault. On the same line, I'd like to say that you don't need to feel powerless because the future is, to an extent, the product of our decisions today. Certainly you can make, maybe not tomorrow, but at least a month away from now better than today. If you work at it and stay focused, you can bring your life back up.

The good thing, funnily enough, is that you've had just about enough. You are ready to break and you're reading for change. You are sick and tired of being given the run-around and having no power and very soon you're going to seek to change the wrong things in your life.

However, ultimately, there's no promise of completion. You know that there's something that you need to have (a man or otherwise), but right now you need to look for something outside of relationships before you can incorporate that final piece in. You're not going to be having any long term relationships any time soon, and it's very important that you concentrate on building the rest of you up in order to accept a new relationship. Essentially, the relationship is the icing on the cake, but, your cake just fell, and, until you bake another one, you're not going to be ready for another relationship.
