Inerpretation Help Please

HELP

I just got my cards about a month ago so I'm not experienced yet. I did a reading about my friend, asking just what was going on in his life and his mind as pertains to me. I didn't want to know any deep dark secrets, just what the goddess thought I should know. The cards I drew completely confounded me !!

Can someone please tell me how you'd interpret this?

I did the Celtic Cross.

In position 1.. the 6 Wands
2... Temperance
3...The Empress
4... The Fool
5... Judgement
6... The Devil
7... Ace Cups
8... 5 Wands
9... Queen Cups
10... 3 Swords

With the number of important cards it seems like this is screaming something at me !! What do you all think?
And yes..... the deck has been well shuffled

[Morrighana]

Just out of curiosity, what deck were you using? I'm not one of the resident experts, so I'll leave main interpretation suggestions to them, but at first glance (and without laying it out and looking at it myself, as I don't have a deck with me at the moment), I'd say that the presence of that many major arcana and trump cards, to me, indicates a strong emotional involvement in the situation. Given the question you asked, I would think it is on your part. Are you particularily worried about him at the moment?

[morgainne]

Yes, I am emotionally involved.....and no....not particularily worried about him...but I do wonder at his emotional state. Could it be that I'm just too emotionally involved to get a clear answer?

oh...and I'm using a regular old Rider-Waite deck

To begin

1. The Six of Wands__This is the card of victory, success, and recognition. In everyday questions it can simply be an indication of good news.

2. Temperance__This card signifies a peaceful phase of happy harmony. This card can also proclaim a new and joyful bond.

3. The Empress__There are new insights and perceptions. You desire grouth and are creative. It could be that in doing you have gotten lost or distracted in the abundance of possibilities, and that you will be overrun by developments.

4. The Fool__This card stands for spontaneous new beginnings. You feel the attraction of novelty and are searching for more excitement and change. Your openness and freedom from prejudice are a great help in this respect.

5. Judgement__This card is easily misunderstood when we consider its name. The meaning of the card is that it shows us we have an important step facing us. You have given the impression of being relieved and released. You have gone through an important experience and come a great deal closer to yourself.

6. The Devil__The experience taht he characterizes is marked by dependence, loss of will, the failure of good intentions, as well as courses of action that go against our convictions. This card shows your dark side. Your plans will give you enough oportunity to come in contact with your shadow side. Use this to explore the sides of your personality that are not yet integrated.

7. Ace of Cups__The Ace of Cups is considered one of the lucky cards of the Tarot. You are entering an area where you will be deeply touched within. Open up to this and let yourself be thrilled and delighted by the feeling of bliss.

8. Five of Wands__This card is the card of Challenges. This means that we clash with problems that require a great amount of effort. You sense that this is a test of your strength that you can only win if you give it your full effort. Grasp the idea that this does not necessarily mean the same as disputes and discord.

9. Queen of Cups__This card stands for a secretive time of sensitive and loving closeness. It can also be an indication of the depth of our desires and the expression of a great need to lean on someone. Deep down inside you dnow exactly what you must do and what to expect. Don't let yourself be confused about it.

10. Three of Swords__The meaning of the 3 of swords is primarily the decision that is made in opposition to feelings. Don't shy away from unwelcome perceptions. Trust completely in the clear inspiration of your mind. This will help to free you from your situation. Disregard you feelings and put an end to old habits. Show your pain and disappointment, but above all, your decisiveness to reain upright and consistent.

I hope that this answers you question.

Good luck, may the Goddess Aradia walk beside you on your journey.

Blessings
