You know you talk a lot about other people, but your main focus at the moment I feel should be on yourself. I sense you just don't love or like yourself enough and that you can be way too hard on yoruself. And if you don't like or love yourself, why would other people? You need to acknowledge your strengths as well as your faults.

Gambling is a pain! But I'm not bad at it... I think. Anyway for feedback: It didn't go too well, but oh well... Today in class she didn't look at me a single time... in fact, I think she was avoiding to. But yeah, thanks for reminding me. Gotta move forward using my own means. On a lower note, I went to the casino yesterday and did not end up losing money. In fact, I gambled 10 euros and got back both money that I had lost (5 euros)... and even tried to act heroic and got back the 5 euros of two friends of mine that they had lost... and even had 5 euros extra in the end! So both me and the two of them ended up with (slightly) more money than we started. David +5,23 euros Rita +5,23 euros (She was at +23 cents, but I gave her a 5euro token to pay for the highway tax) Carina +23cents (was at -4.77euros, but I got her back up xD) It was hella boring cause we had to wait for other people that were with us to finish playing and they played tons and tons until they lost all... I'm glad I'm a Virgo - Stop if you're winning! lol A hug to you, Captain

hi david just a little round. lol

Thanks Wyn, I will try to look into that (well... indirectly of course.)

No-one can accurately predict the future as the paths and energies are constantly changing. Something as simple as a thought can change someones prediction according to your energy.

Hello HiddenDiamond, I'm glad you went and got the answers you needed and you are taking it as a positive outcome. You really ARE a HiddenDiamond, ya know. I see you growing to be a man that women will take a double and triple look when they see you. Your outside looks match your inner beauty, you DO have a beautiful heart and soul. In time you will meet a young lady, maybe a few years older than you, she will make you feel more confident to give that first kiss and even more. P.S. Your pretty amazing too, and thanks for the compliment (I don't see myself that way but it's nice to hear/read, lol). Warmest Regards, Elaine

Good for you!

I wasn't saying you weren't a decent person now but there's always more we can all learn. It's all about becoming more aware of our effect on others and how they in turn affect us.

Good morning from Las Vegas, HD! And Happy 4th of July to you! The first thing that popped into my mind as I read your post was: what deck are you using? The images on the cards tell parts of a story; when woven together, they tell a complete story. I'm curious as to the deck you use only inasmuch as the images in different decks nuance the reading. It sounds like you're using a fairly traditional deck; am I correct? I have been a student of Tarot for almost 20 years and luckily, I connected strongly at the get go with the Rider-Waite deck (or as I prefer to call it, the Coleman-Smith deck). It has been my friend and ally all these years, despite the fact that own a number of different decks. I always gravitate back to C-S. First of all, you've got two pips surrounding a Trump. Pips are like the little blips on the screen of life, the ups and downs, the things that come and go, whereas Trumps ALWAYS indicate karmic or destined situations (as do Aces and Court Cards). Both of the pips you drew are Swords, the "air suit", the suit of the Mind. In the Rider deck, a woman is seated holding crossed swords, but she's blindfolded. Normally, two is a number indicating balance, but in this case, because of the blindfold, she's balancing, but without any true clarity. If I had done your reading, I would ask you if, in the (recent) past, you and your friend had attempted a meeting of the minds as friends, but it didn't work? You two were somehow never on the same wave length mentally. Are you following me? Does this resonate with you? You are spot on about The Tower. And it's a karmic or destined situation so there's no escaping it; you have to meet it at some point and you can do so kicking and screaming or with grace and equanimity (remember, the Trump that follows the Tower is The Star, new light in the darkness, new clarity, etc.). The Tower is not a card to feared. It acts like the Eye of Shiva or the planet Pluto, sweeping away the dead debris to make way for something NEW and BETTER. The Tower hits suddenly and is often explosive and uncomfortable, but it passes just as quickly (luckily). Your friendship has obviously hit rock bottom and something new and better and different is on the way. However, that's not to say that your friendship will survive and perhaps that's for the best. What's the glue that holds you together as friends? Is it a relationship worth pursuing? Is it life giving or death dealing? Only you can decide that. Nonetheless, the Ten of Swords (the culmination of this mostly horrid suit) doesn't bode well as you indicate. You two are mentally "dead" with one another; there's no where else to go. You've hit a brick wall, the dead end. Finally, you drew yet another pip. This time in the "earth suit", Pentacles. It makes perfect sense to me that this card of poverty, lack, death, decay, on the earth plane would turn up as the result, for Pentacles obviously rules "friendships" in the larger sense as an earth plane "thing". However, the finer tuning in a relationship would logically occur Tarot wise with the suits of Cups or Swords (i.e., the emotions or the mind). Yours was not a lovey-dovey, emotional friendship; it appears to have had more to do with your mental states than anything else. Were/Are you two mentally competitive engaging in mind games or oneupmanship? If you decide to pursue this friendship, it will have to be on TOTALLY new grounds. The Tower will see to that. If you decide it's worth working on, it's time to get into a new realm with each other EMOTIONALLY (and watch your future readings about the relationship turn into Cups rather than Swords). After all, isn't that REALLY where the heart of relationships lies? In the realm of emotions (Cups). Love is the answer, HD. If you need to sever do it with love. If you choose to pursue the friendship and make it grow stronger, do it with love. Stop with the mental doo-doo and learn to appreciate each other with your HEARTS (omg, Cups again!) and maybe, just maybe, in your next reading you'll find a nice Six of Swords instead of the ones that precede and follow it. My best to you and peace be with you. Blessed be.

hiddendiamond first and foremost, that was 3 questions And the answer to all 3 questions is. Totally up to your preference, we all have our own styles I for example, shuffle the cards then fan them out, from there i ask my querent to take the cards and i read reversals from my perspective. another reader i know asks the querent to shuffle, and cut into 3. The querent must then choose which "mini deck" they want to use, then she just does it by pulling out the top card of the mini deck Finally one person shuffles, fans out and does the same thing as me only he doesnt read reversals

Kudos to you starting this thread I might post later on hope for the best

Hello HiddenDiamond! First of all, I need to say that I love Virgos heheheh... they are so fun in their way of thinking... probably because I have Mercury and also Venus on Virgo On your question... I think, and that's purely my opinion, that when you do something that involves lots of emotions, like playing games, arguing about something, drinking alcohol, anything, you will attract beings that like this feeling/frequency. Today games are deeply hidden on most young adults consciousness, so I'm not surprised. Also, when you play, your concentration level gets much higher, so it's like some kind of meditation... Strangely enough It happened to me some days ago (and scared me a lot). I was playing a hard level on a game and started to see a bright light on my peripheral vision... I blinked trying to "clear it", but it started again... Of course I could be in resonance with your question (which I read some days ago). I think you need to choose what to do with this. You can ask to go away, or try to investigate... First you need to know what "kind" of beings are you dealing with... you can say this by your inner feeling (not that first scary feeling, but how does your heart feel about). Anyway I think everyone should pay attention to the kind of vibration you are entering in. There are too much violence in movies, games, and also lust, desires, etc... This kind of energy is very strong and will also attract lots of people in any plane Kind regards!

Thanks beaniac, will try that method I'm specifically trying to find out who this girl is, but the same method should probably work, I assume.

When I found out the man I was involved with was married, I was devastated, his wife accused me of stalking him. She said she knew we were never in a relationship, really, I couldnt believe she was saying these things to me. I was single for 13 years before I started seeing him and yes there was a real relationship. I was so in love and so hurt I couldnt hardly handle myself after everything was put on the table of honesty. She did tell me that her best friend was a witch and she was having a spell put on me (the innocent one). I would like to put a spell on them. I am still very angry and pray everyday I get over this. I also pray that he gets his karma for being such an a** and such a liar. I would like the spell if it's possible or I would like someone more powerful than myself to do it. Thanks for letting me vent

Oops, forgot to say... D.O.B 24/August/1988, Lisbon(Portugal), 12minutes past noon. And how can I find out if I'm connected in any way to Atlantis, Lemuria, or Rama Empire? (If any of these, maybe the latter would be most likely since my family comes from Goa, India... even though I'm born in Portugal. Thanks, once again... even if you can't answer these questions, I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me how to find out. (Since I have just started trying to meditate... and it's having no results so far... I'm not even sure i'm in the right position, and I have to be careful to 1. Not fall asleep 2. Try not to think of anything... and even when I'm not thinking of anything, I find myself focusing my stare on some fluctuations in the illumination or darkness that goes through my eyelids with my eyes closed, undoubtedly a product of my imagination.)

HD, you must begin a process of communication with yourself. You are not asking your Guides what decisions to make, because they are not going to make them - you are. What your Guides are going to do is to help you think and to help you feel the energy of all of your options. They will help you get in touch with your Higher Self. You need to know the voice of your Higher Self, because that is where you will receive your guidance. You need a few minutes each day in which to be silent. The reason for the silence is to quiet your personality and allow yourself the opportunity to hear your inner, Higher, Self. The important thing is to quiet your mind from its day-to-day activity. You can have music if you wish, or silence if you prefer, whatever brings you peace. You are seeking guidance about something, yet during this time, do your best to eliminate all thoughts. Try not to think. Allow your mind to become silent. It is during your silent moments that you will begin to bring forth better awareness of your intuition. You must practice in order to easily recognize your intuition. You will know when you succeed. It is a different feeling. Your thoughts may say, “I think this is right.” Your emotions may say "I wish this would happen." Your intuition will produce a feeling that just feels right. But, of course, the feeling is not forcing you. You always have the right to reject those feelings. When you hear yourself being warned with lots of negative concerns – with many fears – it is always your personality, not your intuition. That does not necessarily mean you shouldn’t listen to those thoughts. But optimally, what you are looking for is when your gut intuition tells you something and your own logic and emotions do not rise up in rebellion. If you think you are being told to do something, and after your meditations you feel this even more than you think it, listen to that. It becomes a “knowing.” Many times you will say, “I don’t know how I know, but I know.” When you know how you know, that is your logic. Again, that is not necessarily to be disregarded. I am just talking about how to know the difference between the two bases for making sound decisions. Intuition can feel like it came from nowehere - that you don't know how or where you got the information. For example, if your logic or emotion tells you not to risk something new to you, but your gut intuition disagrees, you may be receiving spiritual urging to walk farther into or through that fear and take a chance. You may at least want to meditate more before you make your decision. If your logic or emotion is telling you to go ahead but your gut intuition is trying hard to hold you back, listen to your intuition and hold off on making that choice until you can discover why your inner self is so uncomfortable with it. If you seriously want to learn to recognize your gut feelings, your intuition, you will need to make repeated efforts to do so; and you will need to practice following it. If you do this, eventually you will be able to “check in” with your soul more easily, for you will recognize how that communication feels when it comes into your awareness. You will know you have gone against your intuition when you make a choice that turns out with different results than you had hoped for and in hindsight you find yourself saying things such as, “I knew it! Something was telling me not to do this. It just felt wrong for me.” (Or “something was urging me on, to take the chance. It felt so right!”) But then I thought what if….” Or, “But then I was afraid if I followed my hunch…” It is very important, though, that you learn the difference between your wants, or your hopes, and the spiritual leading of your intuition. If you don’t, you might convince yourself that something like selling your home and laying the proceeds all on a bet at the roulette table is intuition. Rarely, if ever, would that ever be an accurate reading of spiritual guidance. What you are looking for is to be able to think something through using the logic with which you are created and then have the results of that thinking confirmed by your intuition. Or if your gut feeling comes into your awareness before you have thought about it, then having that feeling confirmed by your thoughts. Your emotions can help you get in touch with what you want but aren't reliable when it comes to making a judgment. You want your logic and intuition to work together to help you make wiser decisions. You will still make mistakes in judgment, of course, for as long as you are there in your classroom. But if you work to use your intuition the way human beings are intended to, are created to do, then your mistakes caused by not being aware of and heeding your soul’s leading will greatly decrease, I promise you. So first use your emotions to decide what you want. Then use intuition to tell you if that's really beneficial to you or the right way to go and, if it is, use logic and thought to figure out how to get it.
