The Lovers Spread!

[Silver Venus]

:D We all love, love!

This spread is for love, in all its forms.

Shuffle the deck and lay out the cards per the diagram below.

Card 1: This card represents your love of yourself, self-love and self-image, representing strengths and weaknesses, or issues to get through.

Card 2: This card represents your love for others, your family, friends, lovers. Can represent a specific person and how you react to him or her, or how you see others, or a relationship.

Card 3: This card represents another factor or person, something not accounted for, because these situations are never simple! Can be a love triangle, or a difficult choice.

Card 4: This card represents strange Fate, or larger currents and directions, situations out of your control. Also represents the love the Universe holds for you, and your trust (or lack of faith) in that.

Cards 1, 2 and 4 are forms of love you will always have and that are not dependent on others: your love for yourself, your love for others, and the love the Universe has for you.

Youv'e been so busy Silver :D ! Thanks!

[Silver Venus]

Its only a matter of copying and pasting hun so dont worry about it! ;) Enjoy the spreads!

[Myst]

1. 9 of pentacles
2. 7 of staffs
3. 6 of pentacles
4. the fool

I see a lovely bird on a gate and a waxing moon representing my lofe of myself. Which to me suggests I am confident in myself in certain ways but of course learning to love yourself is a never ending journey.

The second reminds me of my parents, it's a big tree a few feet away and 6 trees nearby. I was just thinking I should call my parents and visit them more often, and how they give me strength and taught me to be respectful.

The 6 of pentacles sometimes suggests a gift, although that's not what I see in it. This one isn't clear. A woman stands in a garden near two butterflies and a full moon. To me butterflies represent people in a relationship, and the first thought I had was that the woman was butting in on the butterflies. Even though the moon is full and the butterflies together.. this reminds me of how sometimes my own jealousy gets in the way unnecessarily.

Lastly, the fool. It suggests changes that are good but seem as they would be bad, and facing one's shadow side. Necessary changes may be being forced. I have an idea about this but it's personal.

Interesting spread, anyway!

2. WHEEL OF FORTUNE
3. 5 pentacles
4. 9 wands

Merry Merry,
I have an "Egyptian Deck" that I acquired last year....due to a serendipitous event at work, and here is the reading .....
#1 Isis Unveiled....
letter Egyptian , Gomer; hebrew Gimel; English G Number 3 Astrologically Libra Color lighter shades of yellow, Tone high E Occult Science Spiritual Alchemy. Human function feeling Natural remedy white rose strawberry violet primrose heartsease balm .. mineral talismanic gem diamond white quartz.....
expresses in the spiritual world supreme power balanced by eternally active intelligence and absolute wisdom.. in the intellectual world fecundity of being, physical world nature in labor the germinating of acts which must hatch from the will .
#2 The Magus..
letter Egyptian Athoim, Hebrew Aleph, english A, number 1 , astrologically mercury Color violet Tone B occult Science esoteric psychology . Human function spiritual body natural remedy mental healing mineral mercury
Expresses inthe spiritual world absolute being which contains infinite possiblities.... in the intellectual world unity principle and synthesis of numbers and the will principle of acts, the physical world man ....in perpetual expansion of his faculties in the concentric spheres of the Absolute
#3 Five of Swords
The divinitatory significance of the five of swords is escape from danger its inner interpretation is struggle.
Five as a number is related to the planet Venus , because the movment of the planet forms a pentagram , and all of the symbolism and magic therein, therefore this can also be interprested as the need to use the correct symbol, and all that is related to the planet Venus, and the pentagram.
#4 Ten of Cups
The divinatory significance of the ten of cups is a decidedly unconventional affectional interest; its inner interpretation is Emotion
The tens are ruled by the planet Uranus, and are the "general significator" of sudden changes of fortune inventions discoveries and unconventional relations and actions.
Love and Light

Hiya babe, I decided to do this one for you :D

Card 1: This card represents your love of yourself, self-love and self-image, representing strengths and weaknesses, or issues to get through ~
The Queen of Discs! Expression ~ I just got this as me too..and we both know its our signifers! This is your love for you and what you have achecived in life and within yourself, you are a very strong woman now and proud of it! This is also the you, you wish for at the moment (me too!) and always have and will, you want love, family, a nice house, children... your castle! & your life will not be totally complete until your expressions and wishes are met.. Maybe this is something we should both continue to wish for but not on such a high level.. maybe we both wish for too much perfection? (Just a thought I got for myself and thought maybe it fits for you too..)

Card 2: This card represents your love for others, your family, friends, lovers. Can represent a specific person and how you react to him or her, or how you see others, or a relationship.
4 of Wands ~ Development! Hehe, we all know who this is talking about mainly ~ S! But also you always want this with all your relationship, you never give up and really see everything through ~J.
You are always there (or want to be) for everyone in your life.

Card 3: This card represents another factor or person, something not accounted for, because these situations are never simple! Can be a love triangle, or a difficult choice.
8 of Swords ~ Bondage ~ How fitting is this?! This is how you feel now because or your love triangle and the choice you have to make...

Card 4: This card represents strange Fate, or larger currents and directions, situations out of your control. Also represents the love the Universe holds for you, and your trust (or lack of faith) in that.
10 of Wands ~ Force ~ Im not sure why this is called force? Spooky how you got the 9 of wands!
these mean the same ~ I think you are like me ~ expect too much maybe and then get burnt heavily? Its like youve had so much hope, love and desire in your heart and they have all been shattered, now you need to build them up again.. This is how you feel about your world at the moment not your fate.
This is an end to a cycle I feel being 10, youve had allot on your mind and a very heavy weight on your heart ~ you need to free this and start afresh.

:)

Ok heres goes hun :D

1) 8 of Discs ~ Skill ~ I think this is in view of recent events, as well as past development. I think youve really worked hard on yourself and loving yourself because you had to work so hard in past relationship with loved ones and family. You also think of yourself as always putting everything into everything and this is really good and your big strength but also maybe a weakness because you put so much in and dont get what you put in back.. Hard loving work aswell as expectations at play here! Does that make sense?

2) Death ~ Ick! I think this is your past relationships and also how you view some of your past loved ones and family... and also a stage in your life.
This isnt at all how you see others ~ you are so loving and kind, but a woman scorned! you can see others like this if they cross you...
Dont knwo what happened this weekend but feel this represents a new beginning too :)

3) Ace of Cups ~ Spirituality! Your goddess! Your beliefs, your world, your dream! Cant see how this could be a love triangle ~ just with your inner voice maybe!

4) 2 of Wands ~ Courage ~ I think this relates back to the 8 of Discs, you do have trust in the world, in your loved ones around you but this can easily be tipped one way or the other becasue of past hurt. You do have the strong balance you doubt and everything you need within yourself to create and be at harmony with your life... and I think this is what this card stands for.. you will find the courage and answers when you think you wont.. yuo will always be alright because you have the desire and amiton in life.

Rather a good reading, babes!

Yep, there has been a lot of times recently where I felt I was putting more in than I was getting out, in a number of ways!

2) Death ~ Ick! I think this is your past relationships and also how you view some of your past loved ones and family... and also a stage in your life.

Definitely relates to how I view my family - I don't have any contact with them now due to some nasty events in the past - and as for the new beginnings, well, I think so too after the weekend¬

3) Ace of Cups ~ Spirituality! Your goddess! Your beliefs, your world, your dream! Cant see how this could be a love triangle ~ just with your inner voice maybe!

Could be a triangle of sorts - I have a tendency to get so involved with what I'm concentrating on, especially with the Tarot, and my spirituality that I neglect the SO, who resents it sometimes

4) 2 of Wands ~ Courage ~ I think this relates back to the 8 of Discs, you do have trust in the world, in your loved ones around you but this can easily be tipped one way or the other becasue of past hurt. You do have the strong balance you doubt and everything you need within yourself to create and be at harmony with your life... and I think this is what this card stands for.. you will find the courage and answers when you think you wont.. yuo will always be alright because you have the desire and amiton in life.

I knew it! I AM a pessimist! Oh this is so me, I feel like I've regained my trust in men/the world/life in general and then something (normally trivial) makes me feel utterly alone and worthless, which is a complete over-reaction.

Spot on once again babes!!

Rather rather darl!! lol ...Sorry to all my friends from far lands but thats so English! :)
Glad it worked for you hun!

[Silver Venus]

Ok here goes..
I drew The King of Discs ~ Earth ~ as card 1 to stand for your love of yourself... This is agreat card for you ..very warm, friendly, down to earth, loving and and dependable. You like to give to people and to be open with them. You are very strong but also a very people person, loving them and wanting them to love you...

For you love of others I drew the Queen of Swords ~ imagination ~ and I think this fits in with what I said above ~ you are really there for your friends and family, very open and fun and you fill their world with your imagination and energy. You also like people who make you laugh and are very creative, you like arty/spiritual types I feel and strive to be around these kind of people.

As your other factor or person I drew the 3 of swords ~ Discord ~ which I think is what your worrying about..soemthign isnt quite right and you dont know what to do about it...

Maybe this has something to do with your fate/love of the universe card ~ 2 of Discs ~ Fluctuation ~ I think you may be very happy most of the time but sensitive and as soon as something goes wrong you kind of think everything is goign wrong? Does that sound right? I think the 3 of sowrds in your relationship is just a minor upset and soon everything will be fine and sunny again as this card talks about balance and rocking the balance... If you do feel out of sorts just think that its just a phase and it will pass...

Hope that helped
:sunny:

Card 1: This card represents your love of yourself, self-love and self-image, representing strengths and weaknesses, or issues to get through.
~
The Magician! He's a very strong willed guy, who knows want he wants and exactly how to get it. He also has everything he needs and wants but maybe just doesnt know. He see's all the paths infront of him and knows he has to choose one ~ but which? Maybe you are always trying to find that answer your searching for? To find something you have already got maybe? He is a very soul searching teacher ~ to look into yourself, know your positive and negativities and deal with them, then decide on the path to happiness. Its all in your control ~ you hold the key no-one else ~ to your happiness.

Card 2: This card represents your love for others, your family, friends, lovers. Can represent a specific person and how you react to him or her, or how you see others, or a relationship.
~
Six of Swords ~ I get the impression that you have been hurt in the past by soemone very close to you (a family member perhaps?), now you still trying to recover after this and are doing very, very well. But this has slightly jarred your opinion of the world, loved ones ~ your guy and your friends and family ~ this card is saying that its ok to keep your distance but at some stage you are going to have to open up and go close to really feel and experience there love, warmth and kindness. Give aswell as take this card is saying.

Card 3: This card represents another factor or person, something not accounted for, because these situations are never simple! Can be a love triangle, or a difficult choice.
~
Ten of Cups ~ Woaaahooo! This is what you want right? You have this already, you just have to believe in it once again ~ true love ~ real love ~ you have it! I strongly get that this is not another person but another factor in yuor mind ~ I get that you really want this so much, but you may be also afraid of this ~ not opening up ~ again the 6 is comign through to say ~ open up, true love is there.

Card 4: This card represents strange Fate, or larger currents and directions, situations out of your control. Also represents the love the Universe holds for you, and your trust (or lack of faith) in that.
~
The Sun! ~ Again a very strong powerfully positive card!!!! Happiness, success, family, health, wealth, creativity and love are all very strong important aspects of this card! Imagine the warm sun beating down all over your body ~ that is the love the universe holds for you and Im pretty confident that this is the love that you bf holds for you!!!

:sunny:

[Witchy Cowgirl]

Am bumping this up for any other newbies who might feel the need to venture into learning new spreads.

[Maiden Zafirbel]

i tried this spread.. but like the subject says.. i'm not sure how to interpret it... and was wondering if i could get some help please :)

1) Chariot
2) 7 Cups
3) 7 wands
4) 4 wands

Any outlooks will be helpful.. please and thanks :D

[Dagda Moon~Lily]

Postion one: Love of yourself: THE CHARIOT (7th major)

Postion two: Your love for others: 7 OF CUPS

Postion three: Another factor/outside influence: 7 OF WANDS

Postion four: Situations out of your control: 4 OF WANDS

(funny how you got 3 seven's....that is significant as well)

Interpretion thru my eyes::

Victory, pride, uplifted spirits and feelings are "how you feel about yourself" for lack of better wording. This is a card of singing one's own praises and accomplishments. ...tooting one's own horn. ;)

You expect too much from others and are disappointed when they don't/can't live up to these expections. You are disillusioned easily and believe what other's say they can offer you. You dream of the greener grass on the other side of the fence.

This I feel relates to the feeling of "me against the world". You feel you have to defend yourself/your relationship/your feelings to others. You may feel outnumbered or surrounded and are always on your toes. Things/people are coming at you from six sides and it leaves you feeling vulnerable.

Situtation out of your control would be either: the celebration of love and feelings that you are experiencing OR putting on a show....acting the part and just going through the motions.

Now, the repetitiveness of Seven: it's a number of Solitude and "soul" searching. You are thinking things through and wondering about the decisions you have made. It's about choices and decisions. Decisions, decisions, decisions....followed by the energy of a 4. If you like the situation you are in, you have to work to make it grow....if you don't, then you have to plan to end it and alleviate your agony! ;)

This is just MY interpretation of the cards, I could be wrong. :p


~D

[Maiden Zafirbel]

:) i very much agree with your interpretation.. thank you very much! :D
