Queen of Wands
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Decisiveness and a willingness to lead produce rewarding results for you and those you love.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
When the Queen of Wands is in this position, you are like an engaged manager who not only wants to be aware of everything that's going on, but also wants to direct things. The Queen of Wands has an active and energetic nature. She is goal-oriented and practical.
Some Tarot decks portray her as a farm wife who is busy all day long, overseeing any number of activities related to raising and educating children as well as taking the crops to market. Like the queen of the operation, perhaps you also have your hands full -- serving as the axis of production and contentment. It can be a joyful experience to contribute so much to your relationships.
The Chariot
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Use the active force of transformation inherent in this situation to bring about change and new directions for you and the one you desire.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
When the Chariot is in this position, an electrifying force could drive both you and your possible love partner toward mutual victory. The wheels of the chariot symbolize the wheels of time and the motion of the planets. Unstoppable change sweeps through the situation surrounding your forthcoming relationship. It may be an exciting time, though chaotic. Those who cannot move and grow with the transformational energy may feel overwhelmed by its driving force. Apply your focus and energy so as not to allow this to happen to either of you.
See if you and your potential love interest can hitch a ride on this chariot and advance your mutual goals and aspirations. There is no reason to let it go by without you.
Temperance
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Changes need to be made steadily but gradually in a potential relationship.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
Temperance in this position challenges you to gradually phase in changes in a forthcoming relationship, while letting go of old behaviors and thought forms. When we plant new varieties in a garden, we may also clean out some of the old. Over time, a new relationship dynamic may emerge. It's not all accomplished in a day. Healing is more of process than an event.
Be patient and persevere. Blend the medicine with careful attention to detail. Focus your will and intention. Repeat the solution. Remember that too much is as bad as too little. Keep things in balance as you slowly and steadily change the composition of your energy from the old to the new.
Danceur: It would appear that you are instrumental in this "change" or movement for your friend. Perhaps it's your advice he seeks, or even help of a more direct kind. It is suggested that you offer your opinion or assistance, but be certain to Not go overboard, and overstep your bounds. (I don't get a clear picture of what this change means for him... and it's difficult to do a reading for someone who's requesting it for someone else... the "chain" is broken so to speak. Make sense?
Hope this helps out~~~

The Magician
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
You have a talent for creating something from nothing in your next relationship.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Magus symbolizes imagination, creativity and an inventive nature. Your unique intelligence and talent for clever experimentation is a valuable asset for keeping your future relationship fresh and alive. The Magus serves as a catalyst and change agent. His influence is a fresh breeze blowing through any situation. So be playful, and stay open. Don't limit yourself, the possibilities are endless. Try things, see what happens and correct your course as you go. Tease open the minds of those who are watching to see what you will do - including your potential love interest.
Nine of Cups
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
The celebration of shared endeavors may sweeten a desired relationship.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
When the Nine of Cups is in this position, your future relationship with the one you desire may have arrived at some kind of successful resolution. It could be some shared adventure, but could also be the result of navigating an emotional challenge. Whatever the arena, together you have accomplished what neither of you would have done alone. You have made it to the promised land, where there is rest, nourishment and serenity.
At the heart of the joy in this card is the unity that comes from the realization of shared dreams. Positive, abundant, and optimistic feelings are amplified when they are mutually held. Few human experiences are more pleasurable than cementing your relationship in the knowledge that you are truly there for each other. This card calls for a celebration, a toast, and acknowledgment for the great team you can be together.
Ten of Cups
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Having worked through a difficult relationship, you know in your heart that you have done what is best for all concerned.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
With the Ten of Cups in this position, you may let yourself relax, knowing your labors are completed. The worst may be over, and a much brighter future lies ahead. You may be moving towards a life that is very different than the one you inherited. You know that your heroic effort has made a real difference in the way things are now unfolding.
Even if you don't receive all the recognition you have earned, a solid core of self-esteem may now be your permanent possession. By doing the right thing under a challenging relationship, you kept the greater good in mind. Knowing this produces feelings of personal gratification. Now, you may be free to go beyond this difficulty and learn to live in a totally new way.
cyw39: are you ready for a different kind of love than what you've experienced [over and over and over] in the past?!? The answer is--- YES! Perhaps you'd been insecure, always questioning motives or having a hard time believing it was the right "one". Or maybe you'd always been with others who were insecure (perhaps even downright mean), or unfaithful, or whatever... That's over! You've gone deep inside to find that which means the most, and you've cultivated what you've sought in others in yourself. The hard part is now behind you, and the Universe is working on bringing you [if not already] the one who will truly make your heart sing! Things couldn't look better! Know that it is your time, and make certain that you show your Gratitude for all the gifts offered.
Many blessings~~~

Four of Coins
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
A legacy of some kind provides a stable foundation upon which to build a future romantic relationship.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Four of Coins in this position suggests that you have been blessed with some kind of inheritance or assets that you are still learning how to put to good use. This endowment may be monetary or it may be some other form of generous support. It gives you a relatively stable base upon which you can build for the benefit of you and your next partner.
When you are fully aware of what a blessing it is, you can cultivate a feeling of gratitude and make the best use of your advantage. On the other hand, there is a chance you will squander its value. It's OK to be playful, but beware of irresponsible pleasure-seeking.
Note: In the English-school decks, we see a person who is stuck in their misunderstanding of how the material plane works. He's afraid to let go of his four measly coins because he doesn't know he has to give in order to get. When looked at this way, this is the card of "poverty consciousness."
Ten of Coins
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Learn to accommodate the entire spectrum of experience as you move among the privileged.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The Ten of Coins in this position suggests that an important forthcoming relationship may introduce you to people who have a high degree of privilege. Both the negative and positive sides of these highly accomplished and affluent individuals are revealed to you through the daily contacts that you make in this situation. Witnessing this exclusive mode of living may bring to mind the radical divisions separating different groups of people on this Earth. However, something in your destiny calls you to bridge these distances.
To become a true world citizen, you need to be able to move among all classes of people. This necessitates learning to feel natural among people who may take their life of luxury for granted. If you share your generous and concerned sensibilities with those people who have more money than they can spend, it could give you a powerful boost for doing good works in the world.
Eight of Wands
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Long labor produces what appears to others to be an effortless result. The price of success in a potential relationship is continued exertion.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Eight of Wands in this position is testing how well you anticipate the tremendous results you may get from your efforts in a possible relationship. When you put yourself in harmony with natural forces, you are furthered by their energetically supportive response. This card, sometimes named "The Garden," suggests the kind of long labor that bears, at the end of the season, what appears to be a natural cornucopia.
The point is that your ambitious vision and devoted labors may give you even better results than you dared dream. Soon, you may have more relationship decisions to make, more details to secure, more work to accomplish -- but that is the price of success, security, and fulfillment.
littlej, I'm not sure if this will make sense [it may be that it was too long between request and reading... and I apololgize~ but I didn't get a "strong vibe", and therefore I'm not sure how "accurate" this reading is... again, sorry].
It appears that the Universe has offered {or will soon be offering} it's riches to you! This may or may not be money. Perhaps wealth in other forms, as you have certainly done the necessary work to "earn" it. Now comes the challenge.... how do you deal with the gift?!? Do you share the wealth [while being careful not to be an enabler to others], or do you selfishly keep it to yourself? It may even be an upcoming relationship with someone from "upper class" that offers you this very elite lifestyle. The key here, no matter what the gift is, is GRATITUDE! please be sure to keep this in mind
Hope this helps~~~
littlej and cyw39... Thanks for your patience! In trying to settle back in to a "normal" day to day~ My granddaughter was born Monday nite... LoL Life is always full of surprises isn't it! I will try to find some time this weekend to get to both of your readings (and any others that crop up between now and then).
In deepest gratitude
littlej,
I am... give me a day or two to get this done for you... I've been traveling for the last couple weeks and need to get settled back in.
Many blessings to all
Danceur:
Most certainly! Love doesn't just encompass romantic relationships, but also friendships, familial connections, and certainly to include business endevours as well.
Perhaps that "thing" back in March was merely meant to wake you up to your inner desire to have an intimate relationship (be it romantic, friendly, etc... or even with yourself).
I have, for so long, professed my independence, that I literally convinced myself that I don't need another living soul in my life! WHO am I kidding?!?! There are only but rare exceptions in this World, but the rest of us NEED contact [close, intimate contact] with other human beings.
We need lovers, friends, family and the likes~ because of these close ties with others, we learn more about ourselves. They help us grow Spiritually.
Ask yourself this... Why are you still fond of him? Is it truly him? Is it the Idea of him-something he represents to you? Unresolved feelings=unresolved issues! What does this mean for you?
Life it utterly Amazing.... if we can just get our Ego out of the way

Knight of Swords
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
When you answer a relationship challenge, prepare for the consequences.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Knight of Swords (in some decks, a Prince) in this position symbolizes a warrior getting ready to defend a matter of principle. You are either feeling challenged or feeling a need to put your foot down. In effect, you are strapping on your armor and sharpening your blade. Whoever tangles with you now faces a daunting opponent, because a righteous indignation empowers the character of this card. Hopefully your cause is worth what lies ahead.
Sometimes this Prince becomes so eager for the fight that he forgets what it will cost his or her partner, as well as how many other lives may be affected. Before you commit yourself to further action and reaction, be sure you are ready for all the consequences to your potential relationship that you could stimulate by taking a strong position.
The Hierophant
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
A teacher who is familiar with esoteric knowledge can steer you and the one you desire towards the answers you need.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The Hierophant in this position implies that you need access to a mentor or exemplar who can counsel you and your potential love interest through the coming stage of your possible relationship adventure. This individual can provide assistance that will improve your perspective, and help your coming relationship reach the next level. Look around to see who this cultivated, highly educated, and experienced teacher or counselor is. You may eventually talk to several. The idea is to pick up a high-level clue or hint about the spiritual dimensions and importance of your potential relationship.
King of Swords
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Maintain the highest standards, motives and intentions in order to support and preserve the higher values of a forthcoming relationship.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
With the King of Swords in this position, you may be challenged to rigorously examine all your cherished assumptions in order to maintain the highest possible standard of ethics and morality in a potential relationship. In other words, you cannot earn the right to influence the one you want in your life if you haven't first put your own life situation in proper order.
Listen to others first, and speak last. After they have said their piece, make the pronouncement that resolves the issue. When the King of Swords makes a choice or takes a stand, he does so with the highest and most broad-minded motives. Take this opportunity to point out progressive, democratic, and noble paths of action. Stake out the higher ground and stay with it for the sake of your new relationship.
You've got (if not already have) some sort of a dilema within a significant relationship that has got (or will get) your "feathers ruffled". It's a test [from the Universe, Higher Power, God... whatever your preferrence] to see if you've matured and grown spiritually.
Perhaps in the past you had the tendency to "go off half-cocked" and really lose your temper, or maybe just always expected the worse (and therefor brought it to fruition). Your challenge is to be fair, just, and non-judgemental in this "battle", and to see the broader picture as to what's really going on.
The councel you need to seek could be a trusted friend, someone from the church, a licensed therapist, what have you.... but I'm going to jump out on a limb here and say that the only councel you need to consult is Your Higher Self [which is the best one of all if we can learn to listen and trust].
The relationship will help you tremendously towards becoming who you truly are if you can trust in the guidance you receive.
Good luck~~~

Temperance
in the "Love & Me" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
The time is now for self-healing in your forthcoming relationship with your potential love interest.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
With Temperance in this position, you are ready to take responsibility for getting well, no matter what it takes. The quest for health could be on a physical, emotional or mental level, or it may have to do with paying off "karmic dues."
In any case, the work is to clear up past dysfunction and address entangled emotions in your potential relationship. The process will purge the toxic waste of unfinished business with your future partner that disables you. When you are ready, mix your powerful medicine. This is the right time to start healing yourself.
The High Priestess
in the "Situation" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Speak the truth to a potential loved one as objectively as you can.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The High Priestess in this position means there is no need to take the actions and reactions coming from a possible love interest personally. Be grateful that you still possess a strong sense of objectivity. It takes will power and wisdom to resist forming opinions, taking sides, or sitting in judgment.

The Hermit
in the "Challenges" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Abandon distractions and external relationship pursuits in favor of inner work.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
When the Hermit is in this position, go inward and indulge the contemplative monk or nun within you, the mystic that wants to be left alone with her meditations. This is your challenge. If you can pull yourself away from all superficial distractions and relationship concerns, you may receive some important guidance or insight. This card is suggesting that the hermit part of you is ready to be activated.
Such a deeply gratifying experience involves sacrifice. The usual comforts must be let go of for the period of time while you are tapping into Spirit. Your relationship doesn't have to suffer, however, if you make known your need for some private time to recharge your batteries.
You are, or soon will be in a relationship that is of the Karmic type. The hand of fate has everything to do with this one, as it is crucial for you to heal past traumas centering around interpersonal relationships. Are you familiar with what these "look" like? Do you know how you Really respond to others?
Whether it was perceived or real physical, emotional, sexual, or mental abuse suffered, this new relationship will show you these and you will learn how to move past them to a more truer sense of self. You will know your core being.
So, your "homework" is to identify these past traumas so that they can be released from your reality within this new relationship.
Keep in mind though that this may not be a "forever" relationship. You may be involved only long enough to heal yourself, and then it may just desolve itself. But by that time, you will see it for what it is and not as a form of rejection.
Good luck to you~~~

Queen of Coins
in the "Love & Me" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
You can divine true meaning by using your penetrating intuition on behalf of your next relationship.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Queen of Coins in this position indicates that you have come into full possession of your instincts and intuitions. You trust your body's wisdom, know how to decipher the signs and clues within daily events, and can feel the energies at work to discern the direction in which things are moving in your future relationship.
You may be the diviner or oracle for your family or tribe. You can open yourself to a question and decipher the natural response your body/mind gives. You may work with oracle systems like the Tarot, I Ching or Runes -- or you may not. The feedback you give others - including a possible love interest -- is invariably useful, practical and educational. You are grounded in the practical world and your hunches are trustworthy; others can bank on them. This card is quite a compliment to you.
Page of Wands
in the "Situation" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Change will escalate rapidly. Be quick to participate.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
This card is traditionally entitled a Page, but in some modern decks as a Princess. When the Page of Wands is in this position, change is in the air. News may have been released about developments that could put stress on a potential relationship.
This may be a good time to reaffirm the mutual goal before everyone hits the ground running. Be prepared for a change in hierarchy, a new set of policies, or even a new turn of events to come out of nowhere. Whatever it is, you are in a position to participate in the wave of the future. Change will escalate quickly.
This is not necessarily a negative development, however, so do not let anyone think this is something to get upset or emotional about. The essential thing? Remember that your purpose is to respond, rather than retreat and wait.
Six of Swords
in the "Challenges" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Be prepared to change your point of view about a potential relationship. Use analytical thinking to recognize that which you have been overlooking.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Six of Swords in this position challenges you to examine the technical aspects of a potential relationship. Logical and rigorous analysis may empower to substantially clarify important issues. When unseen patterns become visible, you may realize with surprise that they were active all along.
First, it may be useful to reorganize your mind as a way to clearly see those factors you usually take for granted. Don't expect your possible love interest's solution or someone else's logic to work. Reach deep into yourself and confirm that you have what it takes to figure this out. If you study your relationship patterns in depth, you may know just what to do.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Great!!! Looks like I've found a couple of you in the forum that could be helping out with the number of requests for readings!!! {big grins here}
You are a highly intuitive person, whether you recognize this or not [though I'd wager that you Are aware of this already]. This "gift" that you have (actually ALL of US possess this, but not everyone trusts in it and cultivates it to it's fullest potential), is going to play a key role in someone's life soon (if not already). This could be a love interest or someone else close to you. You have to believe in yourself and use your intuition to help further this person down their own path. You may find this challenging and more than you can handle, but trust me--- You are definately ready for this. Embrace it, and use it as an opportunity for you to grow as well.
Congratulations on your accomplishments ~~~prabhas

King of Wands
in the "Situation" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Someone you know is taking a leadership role. This person may need your support right now.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The King of Wands in this position indicates that a new level of authority may have been assumed by someone in your close environment. That person may need some behind-the-scenes assistance to perform this role wisely. This could be a partner; it could be a counselor to both of you. Your patience and cooperation will be valuable to helping this person get his or her bearings.
It is not in your best interests to be competitive or combative at this time. Instead, lend your humble support and resist the temptation to upstage anyone else. Right now, it would be very helpful to your long-term prospects to become advisor to this king!

Main (positional) Meaning:

The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Six of Swords in this position challenges you to examine the technical aspects of a potential relationship. Logical and rigorous analysis may empower to substantially clarify important issues. When unseen patterns become visible, you may realize with surprise that they were active all along.
First, it may be useful to reorganize your mind as a way to clearly see those factors you usually take for granted. Don't expect your possible love interest's solution or someone else's logic to work. Reach deep into yourself and confirm that you have what it takes to figure this out. If you study your relationship patterns in depth, you may know just what to do.
You are being asked to share wisdom you've gained throughout your life with others [probably a potential love partner-but could be a friend or family member]. A situation could arise in which you will be called upon to play councelor or advocate. You have this in you, so set your doubts and fears aside.
If this happens to be a romantic partner, this person needs your wisdom to learn the art of "true love". Initially you may find this challenging, but rewards are guaranteed on both sides if you can stick with it.
Now it's your turn to be the one others turn to! Accept this responsibility with Grace and Thanksgiving... You've earned it!

Seven of Wands
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
A positive attitude and strong potential prime you to achieve something exceptional in the relationship arena.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Seven of Wands in this position points to a personal breakthrough or a moment of triumph. You have done a lot of work on your ability to relate to others and are at the peak of your potential.
You are a winner even if the proof hasn't manfested just yet. With such a positive attitude and strong potentials so carefully cultivated, you are bound to make a strong showing on behalf of you and someone you care about.
Ace of Cups
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
This may be a charmed moment in your romantic life. Appreciate its sweetness.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.

King of Wands
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Learn to practice leadership by inspiring progress and innovation rather than by fighting for absolute control over your relationships.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The King of Wands in this position exposes the fine line between bold leadership and irritating bossiness. At times those who would benefit from some helpful management resist it the most, even though a relationship situation could be vastly improved if they were receptive to some direction.
If you see the need for a new way of doing things, then you may want to inspire others in that direction without setting off their anti-authority alarms. It's less important to worry about your image than to get the job done. Stay centered on the challenge, be diplomatic and others may surprise you with how willing they are to go along.
This is an excellent reading for you! You've done the necessary work, cultivated the traits needed to have positive interactions with others, including romantic relationships. If you're not currently involved, be on the lookout! It appears to be "right around the corner" for you.
The only downside [if you want to look at it that way] is that there is a risk of reverting back to your "old ways" of dealing with others.
Relationships (of all types) are about balance, mutual respect and fairness. Make certain that each of you has an equal say in things, and that you're both getting what you want. Don't get so caught up in the dazzle that you lose touch with the real world.
Things are definately moving in your favor!! Enjoy

An uncommon individual has exceptional knowledge and deep understanding of your relationship with your possible love interest.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Hierophant is someone who knows him or herself to be exceptional. Every circle includes the few who know and understand and the many who aspire to do so. This card acknowledges you as a person with inner knowledge above and beyond theory and scholarship, who is able to contact the spirit world on behalf of humanity. In ancient times shamans were the healers, astrologers and early fabricators of metals and medicines for tribal societies.
Nowadays the Hierophant represents those who have special knowledge in their field. She or he speaks wisely from true and direct experience, and serves in a leadership role in your potential relationship. Use this knowledge wisely on behalf of yourself and your possible love interest. It may very likely serve your long-term goals.

The card indicates that whenever you are ready, the support you need for success and unique talents will be forthcoming. The level of compatibility you share with your next loved one may transcend the gender roles and romantic attachments that underlie most relationships, suggesting a meeting of souls who are working as a team to realize a shared ideal.
Ten of Wands
in the "Challenges" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Review your relationship situation in the light of the person you are becoming. The process will give you fresh energy.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Ten of Wands in this position requires you to re-evaluate your motivation for continuing to do what you have been doing, because your previous motivations may have been exhausted. Perhaps you took things as far as you could in a relationship situation. Now, you may be in a position to gain wisdom from the experience.
Try to determine the pattern behind the circumstances that brought you to this point. Examine the past for clues that can tell you what you are being prepared for. Your challenge and opportunity now is to see how your recent experiences will lead to fresh possibilities, new ambitions, and an inspiring vision of even greater potential.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This one is kind of comical in my opinion... here's why
I've done a few readings for you now, but the cards suggest that this is not necessary!! You are not trusting your inner voice, which IS talking to you, and guiding you to your Destiny. STOP-LISTEN-LEAD...
If you spend some quiet time, in reflection of how you've arrived at this stage in your life (development), you will gain the answers you're seeking from me. Trust your inner guidance dear. [THIS goes for all of you seeking my help--- though I'm happy to continue to give my opinion based on the cards selected for you all].
You are much wiser than you give yourself credit for-Trust in that. Maybe even try your hand at offering readings to others here in this forum! =)
Hope this gives you some comfort~~~annielan

Misunderstandings or unsuccessful communication are blocking the development of a relationship.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
When the Three of Swords is in this position, elements within you are in opposition and tearing you apart. Heartbreak is classically associated with this card. It can refer to any relationship where a serious conflict would have significant emotional consequences.
The number three also represents the balance point, or hinge, between two polarized elements, so there may still be hope.This card implies a fifty-fifty chance of mending the conflict, but it does carries a sense of tragedy or impending pain. One needs to ask oneself, "Did I bring some sense of frustration and pessimism into this situation? Am I going along with a pattern that's been laid over a relationship by others involved? Or is this just a non-workable situation?"
Knight of Swords
in the "Situation" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
When you can't find a reason for the conflict that is emerging, look for the opportunity it may present.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The Knight of Swords (in some decks, a Prince) in this position represents a person who may be preparing to move against you. Shockingly enough, this could even be someone who is a true-blue sweetheart most of the time! Whatever the case, you may not fully understand what has provoked such a reaction. In fact, it may not even be personal. Sometimes people have time-bombs buried in their personality, and there is no predicting when they will go off. Whatever served as a fuse, use every opportunity to communicate that you meant no offense -- unless you actually did, in which case you are getting back what you gave out.
Viewed optimistically, the situation could present you with a worthy adversary who could assist you in learning how to defend your position without being intimidated. If you keep it clean and fair, you will learn about your blind spots and increase your confidence in your conflict-resolution skills, as well as your ability to trust one another. Try to see this as a chance to practice your moves and become stronger at holding your ground. In any case, there is no need to make yourself responsible for the hostilities -- the situation may have been tense before you came on the scene.
The Magician
in the "Challenges" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Don't get too fixated on the details of a potential relationship. Look at the larger picture.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Magus in this position tells you to keep your mind open to divine inspiration. Focus your attention on the hidden piece, the unspoken question, and the unchallenged assumption.
Look for a larger pattern in a forthcoming potential relationship. If you can relax and keep your mind free from trivia, you may shift your outlook to incorporate a new and broader perspective. Your challenge is to leave old habits of thinking behind. What you find may serve as a wheel to get things rolling in a more inspiring, beneficial, and energetic direction.
You are currently (or soon will be) finding yourself in a challenging relationship. Conflict seems to dominate the relationship, and you may find yourself "scratching your head" as to why this is happening to you.
Karma
This relationship is meant to teach you something about yourself and how you handle relationships with others. Things such as manipulation, deceipt, unjust fears, self-deception... whatever the case may be, you are being asked to change the way you deal with others or allow them to deal with you.
You have to step back from the situation in order to see things clearer... to see the bigger picture or lesson to be learned. If you can do this objectively, an almost magical solution or insight will appear. Then you can take what you've learned and apply it to all interactions that you have with the world around you.
Life can seem very cruel sometimes~ but that is only our perception! Life is not cruel, it's our teacher. When things appear to "get ugly", our task is to go deep within ourselves to find the hidden meaning. Once we recognize that, we can then intigrate the positive lessons into our lives which then makes things roll along smoothly.
Hope this helps~~~

Queen of Cups
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
You are called upon to be a loving master of emotional integrity with your future romantic partner.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Queen of Cups is the archetype of loving-kindness. Therefore, she is imbued with a vital concern for the well being of others, including romantic partners. This is a good thing to develop and practice. At the same time, make sure you don't get carried away and lose track of what is healthy and sensible for yourself. Like a mother, the Queen of Cups is accepting and nurturing, with a natural capacity for bonding.
The vulnerability of openness and empathy are important qualities sorely lacking in today's world. Learn to develop these capacities in yourself, but avoid codependency. Love is ultimately about dissolving boundaries, but not at your personal expense. Feelings of emptiness will do you no good. Know your boundaries and make sure you are not being taken advantage of or relied upon too heavily by your next romantic companion. Express loving kindness, but don't let an intense concern for the welfare of others compromise your own well being.
Nine of Swords
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Although difficulties and painful feelings may surround you, you can choose not to be swept up by them.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The Nine of Swords in this position points to some kind of a tragic loss. Although it may not impact you individually, the emotional impact of this blow does have an effect on a significant potential relationship. Objectivity and optimism seem to have flown out the window.
Although you may share some of the shock and grief of a future partner, you can choose not to succumb to feelings of desperation and hopelessness. It is important to remember this even if your loved one is feeling very down. The stability you have to offer this person during such a difficult time will long be remembered. You can support the healing process by keeping a clear head.
Two of Coins
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Stay flexible because the outcome is still unknown.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Two of Coins in this position suggests that you stay flexible even if the outcome is still unknown. It may be a good time to develop plans for various possible outcomes relating to a potential relationship or endeavor, both good and bad.
Once you are prepared for any eventuality, you may maintain some serenity even if those around you are worried. The best thing to do may be to stay calm. This allows you to have energy at your disposal for the moment when you may need to take action once again.
MzFire22: Here's what I've got for you...
You are being called upon to foster feelings of love, compassion, devotion and service to others in preparation for an upcoming relationship (may or may not be of the romantic nature).
However you are being cautioned to maintain your autonomy (sounds selfish... but honestly in order to love and care for others, we must first take care of ourselves.) Don't allow others to become too dependent on you for their own emotional wellbeing. Nip this in the bud if you notice this taking place.
You will be richly rewarded in All your relationships if you can maintain a love for yourself and then bring this into your next relationship.
Good luck~~~
thanks for your patience everyone... I just got back from my holiday vacation and I will try to get caught up on the reading requests today or tomorrow...

The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.

This card represents an increasing awareness of your contribution, and the path of your fulfillment in this life.
Everything we achieve is a reflection of our character and personality. This first coin can form the foundation of your expanding worth, attracting more, until you generate all the love you could ever dream of. But first you have to become magnetic.
Knight of Swords

The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
The Knight of Swords (in some decks, a Prince) in this position represents a person who may be preparing to move against you.

The Hermit
in the "Challenges" Position
General Meaning | Meaning of Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Abandon distractions and external relationship pursuits in favor of inner work.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
When the Hermit is in this position, go inward and indulge the contemplative monk or nun within you, the mystic that wants to be left alone with her meditations. This is your challenge. If you can pull yourself away from all superficial distractions and relationship concerns, you may receive some important guidance or insight. This card is suggesting that the hermit part of you is ready to be activated.
Such a deeply gratifying experience involves sacrifice. The usual comforts must be let go of for the period of time while you are tapping into Spirit. Your relationship doesn't have to suffer, however, if you make known your need for some private time to recharge your batteries.
sharon62:
All three of your cards suggest that you stop! looking for that external relationship [even if it appears that the Knight of Swords is speaking of someone outside yourself].
The cards suggest that you are not Clear on what it is you seek in another. You may not be clear on what you seek from your self either. It's strongly suggested that you use this "down-time" to really connect with your higher-self, your own inner being and find out what it is you're looking for and why you're looking for it.
Once you're clear, then the Universe can work on bringing that to you. You focus on the what and why, and It will focus on the how.
make sense?~~~
Danceur
The Star
in the "Love & Me" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
You will come to understand who you truly are as a result of a relationship with a potential partner.
The card in the Love & Me position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself with regard to possible intimacy in your life.
The Star suggests that you may receive information from your higher self about the reason you came here -- to this planet at this time. This is a profoundly reorienting experience. As we touch our greater self, the eternal aspect, our personal lives and love relationships come into better perspective.
The feeling of being a stranger in a strange land vanishes. Great joy is inherent in this card's placement. You are consciously on the way home in a spiritual sense, no longer flailing in the dark.
The Emperor
in the "Situation" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
Even as an influential person has entered your life, true closeness may be difficult to achieve, much less sustain.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
When the Emperor comes up in this position, you might be contemplating a closer bond with a very popular or powerful person. Let go of such expectations. Just relax and be yourself.
There are ways in which you could be of assistance to one another. However, the current conditions may fail to offer an opportunity for the deep contact you may desire. At this moment, your personal experience is subordinated to necessary business. This does not mean that you are not appreciated. If you are patient, more opportunity for contact may follow.
Two of Wands
in the "Challenges" Position
Main (positional) Meaning:
If you use a lull in a future relationship situation to rest yourself and refresh your awareness, you will be strengthened.
The card that lands in the Challenges position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Two of Wands in this position provides a challenge to learn to use down time productively. Creativity requires leisure. There may be no available energy for forward progress in a forthcoming relationship at this time anyway, so rest and restore yourself. Rather than waste time during such an opportunity, use it for contemplative relaxation or meditation.
Don't worry about how to orchestrate things just yet. Instead, let go and surrender yourself to the sights, sounds, and realities of the situation as it is. This will put you in a more favorable position when the time for action arrives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Danceur: The cards suggest that you have or will enter into a relationship. This is not "the one", but it is one that is necessary to teach you something about yourself that you're either ignoring or refusing to see period. This is one of those "reason/season" relationships that we must all pass thru in order to become more of our true selves.
Don't resist this one, and remember that this is all in preparation for MUCH better things to come.
Happy studying~~~Asia118X:
I can answer that question for you without the cards...
As I've stated in the past with others, the people in our lives are mirrors to ourselves.
Sometimes they are positive reflections, and other times we'd just assume turn away from what we see.
Both are meant to get us to grow [intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, romantically] and to take full responsibility for our actions and effects and affects that we have in our lives and with those around us.
If you're attracted to the "badboy" type, ask yourself why! My guess would be that you're feeling suppressed by something. Perhaps your parents really sheltered you during your childhood and now you're rebelling through your relationships.
Maybe you wish you were more outgoing, so you date people that really push the envelope (sometimes to a dangerous degree).
Maybe you didn't feel enough physical affection growing up, and now you freely give your body to just about anyone...
Getting the picture yet??? So much like the advice I just gave Khemosabie- and this goes for anyone with similar queries--- The time is now (for all of us) to bring the focus inward and find out what makes us tick. What is the true source of our being? What am I not giving myself that I'm seeking in others? What are my gifts and talents? Are all areas of my life in balance [this is the most important in my opinion]?
I hope this makes sense~~~
