Why don't you start by telling your interpretations of the individual cards?

Nobody can tell what he is thinking. The only thing the cards can "show" you is your own feelings on the situation. Look at each card individually for a while, then together, as a whole. What impressions do they give you? This will tell you what action you, yourself, feel would be best. You already seem to know what you want to do, anyway.

Look at the two cards side-by-side for a while, forgetting any official meaning, or other people's interpretations. What impression do they give you?

Nobody (At least very few people) can see the future. If you want to know if your ex will let you see your daughters on their birthday, you have to ask him.

The only way to find out is to ask him.

I forgot to add: Good luck with whichever you choose, and all your future endeavors.

Thank you for all the details, Megan. I know exactly which spread I think would work best for this situation.

I've pulled up two cards representing the benefits of each choice, and one card showing what is essential for all the options.

While shuffling the cards, one card fell out from the others, it was the Father of Cups, reversed. I took note of this, returned the card to the deck, and continued shuffling.

The major thing I noticed after completing the spread is the abundance of court cards. These cards seem to depict more of your attitude toward the choices than the benefits of the choices themselves.

The cards I pulled for the first option, staying with your parents, were The Father of Swords, and 9 of Wands, reversed.

The Father of Swords seems to show a respect and love for your parents. You see them as strong willed and very helpful, maybe even generous.

The Nine of Wands is reversed. Upright, they give a sence of strength and resiliency. Reversed, they seem to be pulling away from each other, almost appearing weak. The benefit I am sensing of staying with your parents is that you don't always need to figure everything out on your own, you don't need to remain too resilient and strong, a lot is provided by them.

The strange thing about your second option: Remember I mentioned the Father of Cups reversed falling out while shuffling? It has appeared in this spot. The other card here is the ace of swords, also reversed.

The Father of cups being reversed shows me that you are not comfortable with moving in with your son's father (As you already stated), it does not seem like the best option.

The Ace of Swords it reversed. It gives me a sence of conflict, or chaos.

There seems to be little or no benefit to moving in with the father.

For your final option, moving out on your own, I pulled the Mother of Cups, and the Daughter of Wands. Two femenine entities.

The Mother of Cups gives me a sence of confusion, but she is strong. She doesn't appear stressed or entirely happy, she simply is. This I feel is important. On further examination, I see an air of calm around her. I interpret this as if you choose to move out on your own, there will be confusion at first, but it will eventually be replaced by calm.

The Daughter of Wands seems to reinforce the air of calm I received from the Mother of Cups. She is holding a flute,which signifies creativity, and freedom. She looks peaceful and feels great love surrounding her (Perhaps a new love affair will develop with you?).

Finally, the last card signifying what is essential for every option is the 7 of wands. It means courage. Whichever option you choose, you must stay brave and strong.

This is only my interpretation, and I could be very wrong. Don't hesitate to look for a second opinion, or just think it over yourself.

hello all you wonderful people. I'm still learning and I thought this looked like a great site to help me learn and practice. The only deck I own is the Haindl deck. (Purchased it a few weeks ago).

I can't give you a reading (At least not tonight) but I have a question to clarify for anyone who may do it for you. What are you thinking of moving out from, and why?
