additional opinions for a personal reading, please!

Last night I found some past life spreads and did three of them (different types...I was slightly bored :lol: ) and got some interesting results. There were a lot of the same themes (according to my Tarot book's interpretations-- Tarot Plain & Simple (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1567184006/sr=8-3/qid=1154766051/ref=pd_bbs_3/002-8861254-7984002?ie=UTF8) by Anthony Louis ) and such, it seemed sort of negative.
But with reading for yourself it's hard to be objective. Perhaps just a quick overview of your impression-- anybody that's willing.

Oh, I'm using the Robin Wood deck, btw


Here was the first one (if anyone wants the spread configuration let me know):

present life
1. Purpose --- Knight of Pentacles
2. Challenges --- Reversed King of Wands
3. Talent --- The Hangedman
4. Outcome --- Reversed King of Cups

past life
8. Purpose --- Reversed Strength
9. Challenges --- Reversed Star
10. Talent --- Reversed Tower
11. Outcome --- Reversed Ace of Wands

interium
5. Death in Past Life --- Reversed 5 of Cups
6. Life Between Lives --- Reversed Page of Pentacles
7. Intention of Current Life --- Six of Pentacles



Here's the Second:
1. Present Life --- Reversed Judgement
(one thing that stood out to me was the interpretion of negative karma, made me wonder if my life before was not a good one)
2. Aspects of Past Life still present --- Two of Cups
3. How Past Life is effecting me now --- Reversed Knight of Cups
4. Lessons to Learn --- Reversed Eight of Wands
5. Patterns --- Reversed Temperance
6. What I need to Learn --- Reversed Nine of Swords
7. Outcome of Learning Lessons --- Reversed Five of Swords


I'll skip the third for now unless anyone needs to see that to help.

I kept seeing negative aspects-- weakness, sickness, neurotic, trickery, deception, fear, trapped, insecurity, disappointment, dependant, and substance abuse was mentioned a few times as well.
Plus there were tons of reveresed cards. I shuffled a lot. So I don't know what that was about.

Some of it made sense and I can see aspects (to varying degrees) of what the cards are talking about in my life now (anxiety, fear of death and sickness and things, slight dependence, etc) [I believe aspects of past lives can manifest in this one] but I feel I might be missing something.

I'm not an expert reader so I'm just hoping someone can help me out! Thanks for the help! :)
I don't care how negative it is, don't sugar coat it. ;)

6. Life Between Lives --- Reversed Page of Pentacles
7. Intention of Current Life --- Six of PentaclesThis one is pretty long, so I'll just sort of sum up what I'm seeing. The present life is about service to others. There's something you're supposed to be doing for others, maybe a medical profession or some other service oriented thing. The past life was more about yourself. You are making up for that in this life.

6. What I need to Learn --- Reversed Nine of Swords
7. Outcome of Learning Lessons --- Reversed Five of SwordsI agree with your assesment of the Judgement card. Not necessarily that you had a "bad" past life, but that you need to learn something more that didn't get accomplished in that life.

I think 2 and 3 are very closely related. You still have someone with you from a past life and the relationship needs some TLC. It may not be a romantic relationship, but it is one that I think will need to be continued. So, you need to find a way to work on it and make it congenial in this life.

The 8 of Wands needs for you to slow things down. Realize that everything happens in it's own time and there is no way to rush it. Rushing results in botched jobs. Let things occur when they need to, not necessarily when you want them to. Patience is a virtue.

The Nine of Swords suggests a bit of a tendency toward drama. Let the drama go. Not everything is as bad as it seems. Try thinking more "big picture" and don't sweat the small stuff.

Once you learn these lessons, life will go more smoothly. The 5 of Swords is about strife. Life isn't meant to be a struggle. If you can learn these lessons, the feeling that life is "out to get you" will subside and you'll be able to enjoy things more. I still think you'll keep a healthy level of suspicion, but you'll be able to realize what is really suspicious and what isn't.

Make any sense?
