Hello,

I am new to using tarot. I pulled 3 cards asking if my ex is the biological father to the kid who is the son of the woman he cheated on me with. Since I found out about this child he has always claimed he wasn’t sure if he is the biological father. However, since it’s been 2 years, the logic side of my brain is saying this is clearly his son. I remain in contact with my ex only some of the time because I am still hurt by his actions. I pulled:

1. 6 of Wands 2. 8 of Wands 3. 8 of Swords with the 6 of Pentacles on the bottom of the deck

I asked my cards later on the same question to see if they could explain it in another way that’s easier to understand. To me, the first spread is ambiguous. I pulled:

1. 6 of Wands 2. Ace of Wands 3. 7 of Wands with the King of Swords on the bottom of the deck.
   The second spread is a little more clear for me but I am slightly thrown off. I believe I am struggling mostly because I am emotional invested in this situation. I’ve watched videos on YouTube and looked up meanings of these cards and searched for both of these combinations as well as similar combinations. Can anyone assist as to how to understand these cards or point me in the direction of reliable sources?

One of the things that have kept me from doing tarot is the fact that tarot is complex. Each card can have various meanings depending on its position and other cards involved in the reading. This is one of the reasons why I struggle with this spread. Thank you for your assistance.

Ooohhh...I have no idea how I missed that when I read your post multiple times. 🤨 I will also work with this over the weekend

@Cybee

Hello,

If you are referring to the star signs then yes, I did.

@Cybee

This is awesome. I am going to work with this over the weekend. Thank you for sharing.

Hello, again. I truly appreciate the time you have devoted to this. Just the fact that you said you are not convinced the kids are his helps a lot with the interpretation. I do not want to exacerbate the situation as you’ve stated there’s a lot and you already have a hunch. I just want to give my interpretation because I am new to tarot and I would like to develop this “skill” as a way to connect with and explore my intuition and because I’ve just always been a fan. If anyone would like to critique and give pointers that would be much appreciated but I am not expecting it.

1. The 6 of Wands is ambiguous to me in itself. From my understanding, it means “victory” basically. Now, I can see it as a victory in the sense that he is not the father (he has expressed that he has made a mistake, this was not planned, and he did not want the kids). I can also see it as a “yes” since it has a “positive” meaning (“positive” in a yes/no format rather than “positive” in a “this is good/bad format) if this makes sense for how I am explaining).
   8 of Wands -I have desired DNA results immediately and have remained stuck on this -8 of swords. From my understanding, the 6 of pentacles can signify charity, giving and taking, support. I was thinking that perhaps this is the universe “looking out” with this situation, having our backs...giving us this huge favor (charity)...he is not the father. Then i wonder if this truly applies to both kids or one even though I asked for both. I wonder because tarot doesn’t always reveal what you want. Tarot will reveal what tarot wants to reveal.
   I was also thinking that the 8 of Wands could mean I will be receiving communication about this sooner that I expect. There isn’t the three of swords, cup cards, or anything else that could denote some sort of heartbreak which is another reason why I say he is not the father. I did get tripped up at the 8 of swords for the “mental jail” and thought maybe he is the father...but i over analyze everything (can you tell? wink wink)...and I would most definitely over analyze how she got away with this for as long as she did, how he is feeling, how the kids are feeling now that their “dad” is gone, etc.

2. Again, same feeling towards the 6 of Wands. The ace of Wands could possibly signify a passionate new beginning since we talked about trying to fix our relationship. The 7 of Wands could signify us setting boundaries for our relationship with each other and other people. I don’t have much family or friends but he has many family members and friends. I don’t think very many people supported the idea of us so I think this is where it also can come into play. The king of swords could signify the new tone of our relationship or perhaps him...or both. Obviously there was some sort of deceit in the past but this will not be the case going forward. If this pertains to him, he will be more rigid when it comes to integrity; honesty; boundaries; discipline when it comes to our relationship and in life in general.

@Cybee

Also...just to clarify your picture...the 6 of pentacles and 8 of swords are flipped. The spread I had showed the 8 of swords as the third card and the 6 of pentacles as the bottom of the deck

@Cybee

Hello,

The reason is because I still have love for him of course and he says he wants to fix things. I refuse to try if either of the kids are his. However, if the kids are not his then I am willing to give it a try.

@Newbie117

Actually I need to clarify...as of now she has had two kids since meeting him.
I asked my cards if he is the biological father to any of her kids
