New Moon in Scorpio, November 2012

This New Moon is activating my third house of thinking & communication (& short journeys). According to Cafeastrology.com

The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy. 

Taking a Look at the spread for this lunar month:

Theme Card is Tower which is basically Public authorities, anything standing for a long time, long-term goals & ambitions and isolation. Not something new at all. 

Trigger card is Birds, a phone call or mental chatter and nervousness. So the concern this month is isolation and ambition, which is triggered by the mental chatter I have been facing. In terms of work, this can mean the company I will working for will be the concern triggered by the usual nervousness you have in initial months of your first employment.This will lead to Ship, travelling or a big change.

Keeping theme of Birds (nervousness), Tower (isolation) and Ship (longing) I see a sense of isolation and quiet time this month.

Past: Birds- Clover - Letter a phone call presented with an opportunity . This may be referring to the work placement call and letter.

Present:

Heart - Tower - Ring

Very interesting. Tower is what is coldness in relationship and readings. Here this card is between Heart (affection) and Ring (a relationship or bind). Taking is this way Heart-Tower = isolation from love or warmth, a cold heart, will lead to a love for or long-term isolation (Tower - Ring) where I will be committing myself more to my goals.

Future:

Rider - Anchor - Ship

I see a message from an organization (may be international) which may be a work related offer. I was expecting Anchor this month because Anchor is my "work" card and since I have got a job placement I can pretty much looking for Anchor. With Tower, I'm certain I will be placed  probably in a large enterprise. This can be a foreign organization (Anchor-Ship) or a mobile one (Anchor-Rider).

Corner Cards:

These cards tell us the context or concern. Birds - Ship - Rider - Letter. This whole thing screams "communication" to me. Birds are phone calls, mental chatter, Rider is Instant messaging, Letter is also emails and text messages. Ship is messaging someone far away. Well, something very much on my mind, probably for rest of the month too. With New Moon in house of communication, I do expect writing long notes.

Central Cross as answer:

Heart - Clover - Tower - Anchor - Ring

I see a small opportunity which might lead to a work or employment contract. I do expect them to sign me as permanent employee right away but I intend to prove myself and commit myself to my work in coming weeks. This feels really good.

Extra Information:

Birds - Rider with Ring

I see a strong connection developing over phone or messaging.

Letter - Ship with Heart

Again, a message from far away, love notes to someone far away.

There are Two 6's , Things coming together or falling into place

Two 7's, life changing events

Two 9's, Higher education or travel industry (which makes me wonder if Anchor-Ship and Rider - Anchor can be travel agencies!)

See you in a month!

Week 41 predictions (Updated)

12Birds- 10Scythe- 17Storks - 21Mountain- 24Heart - 35Anchor - 07Snake

Theme card: Mountain: After having really stressful week, I guess I'm headed towards just another one. Mountain usually puts lots of burdens, delays things & hinders & blocks the way.Storks-Mountain-Heart shows me that the much anticipated Change or Improvement is blocked but at the other end lies happiness.

Whatever I felt like getting done this week, was delayed. Things stop making any sense & I find myself hanging in a zone of waiting & waiting. I hope it passes away before I start getting too impatient.

Left arm:
Birds - Scythe - Storks
Out of nervousness & stress, I'm putting an end to some kind of improvement or change. The Storks reflect heart so I wonder if the change is related to matters of love.

I feel stressed. I must confess I do & out of this nervous energy, not knowing what is happening I'm taking some impulsive decisions, specially where the matters of affection are concerned. I believe I'm going out of my way in doing that. Sad!

Right arm:
Heart - Anchor - Snake
Its simply the stability of heart or emotions is shaken, the comfort of heart is not easy coming this week but there is stability or comfort between a man & woman when it comes to complications of heart.

This is exactly what the situation is right now. Between this man & woman, things are anchored, apparently, but I do feel that the comfort of my feelings or my affection, which I was mistaking, is actually shaken this week. At several points in this week I found myself questioning my own feelings, Is this the right thing to do? Am I over-obsessing? What exactly is happening? But I have to handle all of it on my own, because this man in question, wants stability above everything (Anchor).

I don't know how this will work, but I have to wait & see.

There are two Queens & two Jacks. Two Queens = gossip or rivalry
Two Jacks = Quarrel.

Week 37- Predictions

Week 37

Theme card: Book
Keywords: Secret, learning, knowledge, learning, studies, project, exams result

Book with Child on one side and Birds on the other can mean there is a new beginning, which I already know about but there is mental anguish related to it which I do not know about yet. This is how I interpret Book. Whats to pages side is what you already know about but what is to the left is what you are unaware of yet.

Book + Coffin = Secret ends, a secret which is hard to bear
Book + Tower = long term learning
Book + Child = a secret about a new beginning
Book + Birds = mental anguish which is hidden
Book + Roads = a decision which is not known yet
Book + Storks = learning to move on

Left arm:
Coffin - Tower - Child
Coffin is ending of some kind & what is ending here is definitely making me strong enough to have a fresh start.

Right arm:
Birds - Roads - Storks
Mental anguish or worries about a decision to move forward. I can actually sense it already because I'm quite quite bad at letting go & in this week I will have to make a transition from one phase to another because of the things that have happened in last week & half.

Other combinations we have is Two Queens, so more gossip :D

First thing first, my result has been announced & I have successfully finished my Post graduate degree with 94%. So Book - Coffin was end to my studies. The mental stress I have is now I'm looking for a job and I'm upset because I have nothing to do now. It feels odd having nothing to do. But I hope something positive will be just around the corner.

Week 31 predictions (Update)

Time flies!!!

Week 31 Predictions with lenormand

The middle card this week is Stars which is the card of hope, faith, analytical and guidance. This card looks great for the theme after the last two hectic weeks I've had. This week I look inspired in a positive way because of presence of Storks right next to Stars.

Left arm:
Clouds - Rider - Birds
I see a confused or a bad news coming through phone call or unclear messages or news which worries me. This can be from a man (King of Clubs). The Rider represents card and vehicles too so this can be something wrong with the car too.

Other combinations:
Clouds - Snake = a couple, a complicated man, complication unseen
Rider - House = a news or visitor comes to the house
Birds - Storks = worries fly away, improvised thinking.

Well the situation which had been sickening worrisome in last two weeks between me and close friend has finally come to resolution. We had some mixed, confused, ambiguous exchange of text messages but soon everything was clarified. Its all sunny now.

Right arm:
Storks - House - Snake
Three court cards. The King and Queen of Storks is a couple and the Queen of Clubs is the third woman I believe. There is a complication at home because of a move or a relocation involving two woman and a man.It can also be relocation or renovation at an elder lady's home which goes the unpredictable way.

Storks - Birds = changes that bring worries
House - Rider = Conversations/news at home or about home. Visitors
Snake - Clouds = unpredictable complication/woman

Update: Thanks God thanks God and Thanks to God, things are a lot better from last week. The major problems which I was facing last week are pretty much on way towards resolution. Thanks to Two Kings in the spread. I have written that King and Queen are together here followed by Snake which can be a third woman. I have no clue if some hidden stuff is going on, but me and a really important man are facing some complications. 
Besides that last month a couple moved out, from my grandparent's home. This has been badly upsetting my grandmother. 

Other combinations;
Two Kings & Two Queens:
 cartomante's cabinet: agreements, favours & female friends

Kapherus' meanings:
Man in uniform, shaking hands
sharing confidences and gossip

Homework: May 12, 2012

This post is for the Lesson 2, Module 3, Task 3 of the home work at Cartomantes Cabinet

Day 1:

Day : Saturday

May12, 2012

Date: May 12, 2012 

Weather: Partially Sunny /Cloudy

Cards Drawn: Birds - Whips - Bouquet

Key Card Focus: Birds

Keywords: Phone call, nervousness
Prediction: I'm expecting some pleasant conversations because of the presence of Bouquet. The presence of Whip suggests there can be heat (more than necessary) in the discussions but the Bouquet also add the element of joy and happiness in that.


Time: 1am
Accuracy:60%
What Happened in relation to the cards: There was lots of text-chat, twitter messages, facebook messages from my Project partner got heated because I refused to answer everything he asked this resulted in some argument at both ends. Neither of us rang the other though. The other text-chats were a mix, some happy moments and some sad ones. 


Observations: Birds can be any kind of communication. The Whips also deal with communication, only that it gets heated which it did. The Flowers, as expected, add the element of fun and cheerful energy. The happy energy of Flowers changed the nervous energy of Birds.

"When" question using 3x3 - Updated

I have found this spread precise, to the point and expansive than a linear spread of 9 cards. I would rather have dealt a 5-cards linear spread for "when" question but I wanted some extra details too. Therefore I used 3x3 spread.

This question/Reading is from journal dated April 19th 2012:

The question relates to the bad depressing time I'm having recently. I am not a person who would like being hopeless, drained, depressed and drowned but this time the situation does not looked quite favourable.

Q: When will this period of depression end?

 No card pre-selected

3x3 for when question

I did not choose the 29-Lady card for this but it fell in the central theme position. It looks like its entirely up to me when I want to end this period of depression and all along I was sure that it was not up to me. 

First card usually tells your current thoughts:

 Heart, oh how I so feel deprived of love and affection for myself these days. 

Columns:

Past: In the past I have had some great time, some thing nice and warm and also excitement. I was very excited for my birthday actually which was ruined by the way.

Present: Mice - Lady - Letter

Imagine how I'm being eaten up in my head, how worries are nagging at me, and I'm anticipating for some news, a ray of hope, anything to come my way. Basically I'm desperately hoping for a news about a change in the situation.

Future: Looks like a negative message or some shocking message is coming my way which will then bring a change after a brief period of this depression.

Rows:

First row: I do feel deprived of love and affection these days and I'm hoping for a news, anything that will make my day.

Second row: The pleasures and joys of the past have been over. I feel really drained of all the energy I have.

Third row: I'm anxious about a news, anything that will bring a change (Storks) in my situation.

Diagonals:

Heart - Lady - Storks = I' d love a change, which seems to be coming in future

Rider - Lady - Birds = I'm anxious and worried about whatever is happening so fast.

Rider - Flowers - Storks = A good news will bring a change

Heart - Coffin - Birds = A heartache followed by some release of emotions through communication with someone. 

Heart - Letter - Rider = A heart to heart correspondence with someone, may be a man.

Birds - Mice-Storks= Stop worrying and change will happen.

The good news is that Storks is the last card which assures that a change in situation is predicted in future.

The When part can be answered by the central row.

Coffin is the pain which is short-lived. It would have been dreadful if I had seen Cross there.

Flowers are what live for short time. They die fast.

Lady is me, so lots of it already depends on me.

Conclusion:

I concluded from this reading that this period is short-lived, may be 9-10 days on the most, Rider is fast card , Mice is fast card, Coffin and Flowers are short-lived and Change (Storks) is just right around the corner.

Update:

I have a confession to make, when my bad time started, I pulled out Rider for that day. When the bad time ended I pulled Storks on that day, sometimes you can tell when a change happens in situation and the cards say so for that daily draw. During the time when I was going through the depressing phase, I was constantly pulling Cross, so so so many times. Then finally I pulled Cross+Coffin and I knew its over now.I now can safely say that today on April 26,2012 things are a lot better. What helped me the most is heart to heart talk with a friend of mine and then some self-analysis. Some pains are short-lived but they leave their impacts for a long-time. 

Blessings for everyone!

Love Reading with Madame Seaqueen's Trigger Layout

Here is the spread. I have already done a reading with this spread. Worked like a charm.

This question is from Sarah about her love life since she is single for about a year now and the guys she is seeing are not generating any interest. She asked me that she wants to know about her love life and if she will soon feel "the feeling" again.
We are setting the time frame as:
Immediate: Next three weeks
Soon : Till May 23 (two months).

I'm choosing the card 24- HEART for significator.

The cards are:
Dog - Garden- Man - Birds
Key - Heart - Lady - Roads
Book- Sun - Mountain - Lilies

Past: Some friends (Dog-Garden) helped her unlocking some secrets, and also helped her becoming more open. The Key to left of Book unlocks the secret.

Present: She is having some non-serious flirtations and she is quite positive and optimistic about finding the love of her life just now, one of these days.Her thoughts are on socialising and making more public appearances and her feeling are energetic.In Andy's Small Lenormand Theory, Garden near Heart signifies an open relationship , no strings attached (This one is quite true!)

Immediate: Wow, we see a man coming up soon who probably makes her feel stressed or blocked or its a man with whom she sees no future. The Mountain explain that the Love will be delayed or blocked over next two weeks.

Soon: We wee her nervous because of a decision she has to make about a fling or a wise decision.

The Trigger row: Key - Heart - Lady - Roads
She had a sure help from a friend/a boyfriend in past who helped her learn about love or help her open up. She is quite hopeful and optimistic right now and thinks about socialising and opening herself more. In next two weeks we see her with a man but they are heading a difficult phase or she is facing an obstacle regarding her feeling. He is on top of her, so she has him in her thoughts, but her feelings feel blocked or difficult to express. In the future we see she has to make a choice, or a decision. The Birds and Lilies show she might have more than one options and she might be seeing more than one guy in next two months. Lilies is an affair, Lilies can signify a man who is older than her, Queen of Pentacles and King of Spades can signify an affair. Birds is a couple, and Roads shows she has choices.

Answer: She will soon have some alternatives and choices but she would have to make a decision.

Update April 26,2012
Its been longer than two weeks and I totally forgot to update this one. The row Man-Woman-Mountain, it did signify that there is a man who is her friend, more like a long-distance thing, but she is just not interested. The guy is good and everything but she finds it difficult to see them together as a couple.


We should wait for the Lilies guy.


Update May 17, 2012
The Lilies guy has popped up in her life. She was totally nervous about taking a decision when this guy asked her out, but then she took her chances and they have had two dates and things look favourable so far. She just asked me to do another spread for her now.

Week 12 (updated)

Moon - Lady - Birds - Letter - Roads - Heart - Rider

Letter is the theme card so this week is about an important message. The card is surrounded on both sides by cards which signify the number Two, therefore, I'd say it means two messages. Letter-Roads means two letters/documents or a message which makes me excited, and Letter-Birds means message delivered by phone call/text message, or a message which sums a situation up/gives a decision.

A sensitive or emotional lady, is anxious or nervous because of a message which requires a decision about a matter of heart and a young man (whose heart is actually involved).


March 22,2012: This very much resonates with the situation as I'm typing this. I find myself at a decision point about a man. The Jack of Heart is looking at the Queen of Pentacles but the Queen is busy looking at the Letter. I wonder if this could mean that I'm being superficial.

Left arm:
Moon - Lady - Birds - Letter
The Lady mirrors Heart, and Moon is near her along with Birds, I'd say that's my mother. She has been quite nervous because of a message she received. She even told me about this phone call that has been bothering her.

Right arm:
Letter-Roads-Heart-Rider
Now about the second part, I'm wondering if this would mean I'm going to hear from this guy about him visiting me? Has he made the decision whether he's coming or not. We will see by the end of the week.
Update March 23, 2012:
I actually received a text message last night (Birds-letter) which helped me a lot in making a decision about a love situation involving a man. The Rider might be a news coming soon, because I'm supposed to receive an important message by end of March. The Rider mirrors Moon which shows its a message about success and recognition.
Update March 26,2012
Last week, on Saturday, I decided and also communicated my decision on phone (Roads-Birds) and I'm again on a quest for love (Rider-Moon). This combination is also from my daily draw for Sunday, so I will explore it in a separate post. 

General reading with 3x3

After I did those two readings with 3x3 spread, my friend wanted a general reading of his life.A snapshot of my situation is what I call it.

The most astonishing part is we first decided to take Heart out as pre-chosen significator, but then I decided otherwise and went along with a general. The Heart card has appeared in the centre, emphasizing that the cards are aware that current focus is love.


First card: Scythe
At the present moment he is thinking about getting rid of something, something that is no longer needed.He intends to make a decision and a rather quick one.

Lets look at Rows:
1: He intends to make a suddden decision of cutting back at his social life and bring about some changes that will bring improvement in his life.This is true because he thinks he spends too much time just socialising among people who serve him no good.

2: He is having some lovely chats with some one who is financially independent. The emotional side of Fish (water) also mixes well with the Heart card. His love life is sort of going nice, but a little anxiousness is there.

3: He is looking for a solution which unlocks his path and let him decide what he needs to do.

Columns: 
Past: He cut back with conversations with a really clever one. He thinks the conversations were too much fake and not what they seemed like.

Present: He is having lovely interactions with people which is making him realize some positive things about himself.

Future: A clear financial improvement. An increase of wealth through more than one alternative.

Diagonals: Scythe - Heart - Roads = A heartache made him separate paths.

Storks - Heart - Fox = Some changes in love life have made him cautious.

Scythe - Fish - Fox = Sudden sense of clarity. Cutting at the blurriness presented by water in Fish is cleared out and Fox is presenting logic and guarding up for self-interest.

Storks - Birds - Roads = Changes have made him nervous about what needs to be done, which option to choose. (notice the Twos in all three cards, two birds, two owls, two paths) faced with choices.

Scythe - Key - Storks = A sudden solution which brings changes.

Fox - Garden - Roads = Many treacheries and betrayals made him separate paths with someone.

Here in the situation we can see some positivity going on in present and improvements in future. The Queen and King of Diamond can be a couple so I do not look at Roads as a decision, instead its reaching a solution. It looks like a positive spread for future. Another thing I noticed was that he has two 8's (of spades and Diamonds) in present column: which means according to some authors, a brief affair which causes regrets and this is exactly true for him right now. Also 8 of Diamonds and several Person Cards (we have five here) means a social gathering. I think it will be in future.

 I wish him luck and happiness.

Weekly Draw Feb 12- Feb18

I forgot to write about this one in the past week, this spread ends today and I will just be writing a review of the situations in past one week.

Scythe - Ring - Ship - Man - Birds - House - Clouds

At the time I drew these cards, the most important man in my life was my karmic soul mate. He sits right in the middle. I thought it was him. Later in the week it was discovered it was not him.

Scythe-Ring tells me a relationship will break, a cycle of life will be discontinued, a new beginning happen when the Scythe clears the Clouds in reflection. Even though this relationship felt like home (Ring/House), it will clear things up eventually.

Ship right next to the Ring tells me there will be movement, away from the relationship(or whatever pieces are left behind). This movement is a journey which is not easy on my nerves and is making me anxious and nervous (Ship/Birds). Ship is moving towards the Man, so there is a new man towards whom I will be moving.

The Birds next to him show he is quite communicative person.

Update: There have been a sudden cut from what was between me and that karmic soul mate. It was nothing intentional, it just happened, like on its own. For last Five days I have not heard from him and I'm not even bothered. Instead a new man who is actually very verbal, has appeared. He makes me feel nervous. However, at the end of the week, I'm facing few setbacks (Clouds). I hope I will cut from them during this one week.

Two Oracles, One message!

Since I have taken up Rural Cartomancy course at Magic Circle School, I pull up at least one card everyday for practise. Today I pulled up 3 cards from the lenormand deck and three from playing cards deck. Here is something very interesting:

1. Lenormand deck draw:

Scythe - Heart - Birds

The moment I look at Scythe Card I'm always eager to see the card to its right, because the card the edge points towards tells us what is being cut at. The Heart right next tells me its a heartache. There will be an end to a love or I will probably hurt a sweet individual (Jack of Hearts). The Birds next to it tells me there are conversations, may be through text or phone. Now there are two possibilities

Scythe will end the romantic conversations
Scythe will end a love which will cause some nervousness, but this nervousness will not last longer.
adding them together = 46 = 10-Scythe, a strong emphasis on cutting at something. A hasty decision.

2. One card for Love:

 I usually pull out one card for Love, because the three cards draw can be anything, but one card for Love is for that only. The one card I got was "22- Roads".

Roads can be a choice, an alternative, two, sense of indecisiveness or separation (paths are separating).
This is interesting , I got two indications for a split.

3. Playing cards deck:
Moving on to the three cards drawn from playing cards deck

2 of Hearts - 2 of Spades - 5 of Clubs

2 of Hearts, love talk, exchange of emotions, lovers, couple
2 of Spades , separation, following 2 of Hearts , a split in a couple
5 of Clubs , things will work out eventually. The hard work is paid off. Recovery expected after bad cards.

So here again, I have an indication that there is a strong possibility of a separation today, definitely a romantic separation, but it will work out eventually or in other words, the grief will be short-lived.

I have to wait for the day to end, and see what happens. Will update when it manifests (I hope not).

Update Feb 17,2012: What I wrote about the Lenormand Oracle about the manifestation of 3 cards in 1-3 days is correct again. I was wondering all day yesterday what Heartache, I had an awesome day, I guess it is coming true today, because I'm totally heartbroken, and I'm totally sad and down because of it.
About the spread with Playing Cards deck, I did have some heart-to-heart romantic talk with someone, but we ended up having an argument the next day (today). I hope things work out eventually.

Depression, introversion and Lenormand

I have been pretty down lately, while I should be happy. I was trying to put it onto the unplanned or unprepared for date of mine last week, but its not that only. There is something else bothering me. It can be my love being so absorbed in some depressive mode as well and I want to know WHY are we in this mode while nothing is apparently wrong.

Q: Why are we in this introvert, intense, depressive mode after our meeting?
A:

Tree - Birds - Roads - Moon - Mice

Roads in the middle talk about a state of indecisive-ness or not knowing what to do. This is what's happening right now.
In the Past we had this comfortable, being home kind of feeling. Tree+Birds is my "being home" combo because Birds live on Trees.  Tree is enhanced if its placed closer to Roads. Therefore, we can say that this growth in the relationship and this stronger rooted connection (Tree) we have has made us nervous (Birds) and we don't know what to do (Roads).

In future, I see loss of sleep, we are already at it. He is taking pills to sleep and I spend nights awake, trying to figure out what's exactly wrong.

So story-line we have this deep connection, where we are supposed to grow and learn from each other (Tree), we are not feeling well in body and spirit (Tree+Birds). this is causing the anxiety and nervous about the options we have (Birds+Roads).The Roads in the middle tell me that we are at a decision point, we are not sure what to do, we cannot find the way to success (Roads+Moon) and this is what is causing the sleeplessness and other problems (Moon+Mice). Birds also suggest insomnia which both of us are having.we are not sure of these are the words of illusion(Birds+Moon) we are having and the Roads add to the unsure feelings. This is causing stress at spiritual level and this feeling of being eaten at (Tree+Mice).We both have been pretty ill with upset stomachs in last three days.

Adding the Cards: 13-Child: The major cause for all this is feeling vulnerable. We are scared that we are being too naive and exposing too much and the fear of getting hurt.


Q: What should I do to make him feel better and secure?
A:
Snake - Garden - Storks - Book - Rider

Snake + Garden = a socialising woman
Snake + Storks = a woman who brings change, bring something better
Storks + Garden = Changes that make one appear in public

Its talking about a change that brings a woman in public, I should plan another date with him.

Storks + Book = Secret changes, changes caused by discovering something
Storks + Rider = a message about journey
Book + Rider = A message which will remain a secret, a secret visit

This definitely points towards a secret visit which can bring a change, a positive change I hope, and this can be about meeting again. This will be a secret meeting (Garden+Book).

Adding them together : 71=8-Coffin. End whatever happened before and start afresh. Coffin is temporary pain that usually passes. So I should start it over to make him feel better. 

No layout readings!

I have been experimenting with the No layout method in which you shuffle the cards and then locate the card in the deck and take out appropriate number of cards preceding and succeeding the significator.

I asked this question about my romantic relationship. This Question is from January 11 in my Journal.

Q: Where is this relationship heading?
A: Significator= Ring

Rider - Ring - Key - Dog - Lilies

Past: Rider = a new, message, young man, a boy friend

Future : Key - Dog - Lilies
The Key card tells me that this relationship is going to be reliable one, I can count on his loyalty and his wisdom, which makes him very dear to me.

There is not much of details in this spread, its very to-the-point kind and its mostly true as well. He is very loyal towards me and I can totally rely on him.


January 13,2012:

To check out the No Lay out readings spread, I asked a few questions and analysed them. I don't know about their accuracy since its not manifested yet, but hope they do.

Q: How will I recognize my Significant Other?
A: Significator = Man

Child - Scythe - Ring - Man - Snake - Ship - Tower

Past: In his past, he has been with a young woman which was a broken relationship.
Future: He will be with a woman, probably a mistress, who is freedom-loving and independent and this association will be long-lasting. Look at the Ship sailing Towards  Tower. This shows that Man and this woman, will be moving towards something long-lasting or something absolute independent.


Q: Where is he right now?
Significator = Man

Roads - Cross - Tower - Man - Lady - Rider - Clover

wait, is he with me right now? Apparently this is what the cards tell.He made a painful choice, which made him isolated/independent, and now he is with a sporty,active woman, happily. I'm sure this is me because where else would he be!

Q: Will we be married?
A: Significators: Man and Lady

Clover - Lady - Flower - Man - Birds

They just appeared like this together. I have luck on my side and he is nervous. Whats holding us together is the romance and the beauty of the relationship. Marriage or no marriage, whatever it is , its beautiful and pleasant for both of us.
This can also mean there is another woman between us which is keeping us away from each other.


January 24, 2012:
Q: What will happen between us on our date?
A: Significators= Lady and Man

Ship - Man - Bear - Lady - Child

Bear stands right between us. This shows that something very strong and powerful will be happening. He is travelling to meet me, therefore the Ship is behind him, and I'm being naive about the matter, so Child is there. It will be make me feel young and immature and him feel stronger and protective.
Its really amazing how the Man and Lady cards changed position in above question and this one. It looks like on matter on marriage, we have different opinions.While whatever will happen on our date will actually make us conform to our comfort and our strength together. It will connect us strongly.

Update: We met and it has bound us together strongly. I feel a strong love for him. I was being very very happy like a child and he was being very supportive towards me. I don't know if Bear can represent an authoritative person but there was someone who tried to (and actually succeeded) in spoiling our date. Things went a lot unexpected but it was over all a wonderful experience for both of us.

What he feels!

Here are some readings from my Journal which were quite on-spot so I wanted to share with you all wonderful fellow Lenormand Readers.

December 16,2011: When my bf and I just started talking to each other

Q: What does he feel about me? 
A: Letter - Storks - Birds - Roads - Tree

The Birds in the middle tell me he likes talking to me.
Letter =Communication, messages
Storks = A positive Change, something new, upward movement
Birds = communication, anxiety, nervousness
Roads  = escape, alternative, an option, choice
Tree = something long-standing, spiritual

Letter+Storks = message promises positive change
Storks + Birds = change in combination with difficulties
Birds + Roads = talking / discussing about decisions, many ways lead to a goal
Roads + Tree = decision that affects ones life

The story that I make from above statements is that he feels like talking to me, through text (Letter) or phone (Birds) bring him a change, which takes him towards a decision point (Roads) which affects his life (Tree).

It was later discovered that he actually started talking to me because he thought I would be a good distraction from the routine life, he liked talking to me, but later one he ended up making a choice that literally affected his whole life. He ended up falling for me and admitting it to me as well.


January 1,2012
After we were lovers:

Q: What does he feel about me?
A: Birds - Storks - Ring - Dog - Garden

Notice how the Birds are appearing in past position, and Ring is the middle card now. Ring tells me he feels strongly committed towards me.
Birds + Storks = change in combination with difficulties/changes through communication
Storks + Ring = changes in relationship (private / business / work), good changes caused by
a new contract
Ring + Dog = relating with a man
Dog + Garden = meeting /seeing a friend at an event

Story: He feels that the changes in our relationship brought on by the communication we have, has changed things the way he interacts with people around him.

This was the case because he was spending more time with me than he was spending with anyone at all and he also really wanted to see me more often. 

Interview day!

I wanted to give a try to the No-Layout message for once and I did that for my interview tomorrow.

The No Layout : Like the name suggests you do not lay the cards out.Yes! You just choose a card which best represents your subject (Book for studies, Man for significant other in case you're a woman, Heart for Love etc) you just shuffle them, and when it feels right, put the cards down and locate the significator.You can take out as much cards as 5 on either sides (if possible) and then interpret accordingly.

 I have actually never tried this method before, so I wanted to do my usual five-cards draw for it as well (Just in case). Here are the both spreads and I will update tomorrow!

Q: How will my Interview tomorrow go?

No Lay Out: I have chosen Birds for this since they have already represented interviews for me, I just don't know it just felt right for me.

Sun + Birds + Moon +Fox + Bear

Why isn't the Birds card in middle? because it was almost at the end. Sun card shows it will be a success. Sun is my card of optimism and energy. Moon +Fox+Bear however make me a little cautious of the Boss/employer. It looks like he will be a bit cautious. He might be appreciating me just apparently while actually he wouldn't be very sure about me.
Adding all: 104 = 14 = Fox
This tells me to be cautious and sniff out the grounds before saying anything during the interview.

Update: This was really nice day because the interviewer was a charmer, and it went better than what I expected. The Fox was telling me to check my documents before going because I left the most important document at home and I had to take the interview without it .It was embarrassing. 

The Five Cards Draw:
Mice - Sun - Key - Ship - Scythe

The Mice +Scythe and Scythe +Mice are possibly just showing me that my worries will dissolve away. The Sun card has appeared again and this time with Key, so this looks like its a definite success. The cards to right of Mice are what is revealed.
While drawing cards, an extra card came in my hand, which was the Stars card. I once had this experience before too, so I take the extra card as the final answer. The Stars here show me this is going to be a great success.
Adding all: 100=1-Rider
There will be a news or the interview will go quite faster than  expect.

Update: The Interview went faster yes, it was like very short interview since they didn't had to ask me about lots of stuff, my CV was impressive enough (and so am I ). Everything was in place except for the small nervous part of me that left me with dried lips during the interview. I impressed pretty much a lot though!The 3 number repeating is probably telling me I will get a call in three days.

Treppner's Course; Past,Present, Future Spread predicted Truth

I have been using Iris Treppner's course which you can Buy Here ,as my guide throughout my learning process and I have found it most accurate till date. The interpretations and everything works wonderfully. I was going through the course material and found The Cross Layout for past present and future.

For this you need a significator, about who you are inquiring. I want to know about my life generally and I choose Lady card for that.

The Layout is here, where
               6
     9-       2    - 10
5 - 1 - Sig/13 - 3 - 7
     12 -   4     - 11
               8

As usual, Cards to left are Past, the column the significator falls in is Present , cards to right are Future.

Card 5 and 1 tell us what happened in past that led to present situation. cards 9-12 are transits from past to present. The cards 6,2,13,4,8 are Present situation. Cards 10-11 are transits to future and cards 3-7 are Future.

My lay out is here:

Past: Clover +Fish : Clover is something small and Fish is usually about finances, so taking both by literal meanings, it means small financial gain or financial independence at a smaller level. This can be true because the only financial gain I have had has been through my scholarship and nothing else. There have been lots of stresses but I guess life has started recovering itself.
2+34 = 36-Cross = The hand of fate has served me well. I have been through carrying my burdens.

Transits from Past to Present: I have been looking forward to more or new kind of financial independence (Stars-Fish) and I have seriously been struggling , while I have taken a few interviews (Fish - Birds) about the same cause.My hopes (Stars) has taken me towards me a new road where I have to decide (Roads) what I want to do. I have reached a point where my way is not clear to me (Clouds-Roads).
The conversations about work I have been having (Birds) are going to bring me some news (Rider) related to more stability in terms of job (Anchor).

Present: Right now, I don't even know where I'm heading (Clouds-Roads) and I'm totally stressed and mentally blocked because a news I have been waiting for has not been arriving (Anchor-Rider) blocked due to mountain, some blockages that are to stay for a while.

Future: Since I have too many unclear options (Clouds-Roads) in my head, this will lead me to a man, who is Older and wiser (Lilies) and is with a woman (Snake) or having some complications (Snake).
Lilies -Snake is predicting a complicated affair, or a sexual affair. But it will be full of energy and passion (Sun). The news about job (Rider-Anchor) which I have been anticipating will bring success (Sun).

UPDATE December 20th, 2011: This has come so freakishly true for me. The news about job arrived and brought success and the wiser, older man, with a woman already also appeared. I hope it does not end up being an affair. This reading has been my truest so far.


Update February 06,2012: I did not update this one but I'm in love with a guy who is far more wiser and mature than I am, complications are there (snake) but I'm very happy thus far (Sun).

Timing with lenormand

I wanted to test some methods specially with our readings thread on AT, therefore, I decided to do it for myself.

Q: When am I going to meet the man who is my next long-term serious romance?

A while ago I did the same using the same deck but with another method. This method is given in Treppner's course and it states that a card must be chosen in order to represent the matter and then whichever house the card falls in the 9x4 spread that is the time for that. I chose the Significator Heart for love, and started shuffling. When it felt right I dealt the cards. The Heart card fell in house of Lilies, that is number 30. The 30 is winters.

Now today I was focusing on the same question, using Andy's method given on his blog.

The card Lily and Ring fell out.I put the cards back and started shuffling. Dealt following five cards out:

Tree - Mice - Lily - Fox - Coffin

May - Soon, eating at delay - Winter - (N/A) - Scorpio (Oct-Nov)

The Tree shows delays, it always delays things for me, but the Mice is eating up the delay caused by Tree. The Lily is right in the middle again, so that means Winter. The Fox card is not used for timing and Coffin represents Scorpio Oct-Nov. We are already in the Scorpio and Winter period. Mice tells me its soon, I wonder if I have already met him *sheepish Smile*.

Q: When am I getting in my next committed relationship?

House - Ring - Dog - Birds - Fox

One month -   Apr-May -  N/A  - December or 2 - N/A

This December is Next Month. It looks very very promising now 8D. But how can it happen in one month I haven't even met him yet :s so I think House=1, Ring = Year, together they make one year. Birds say December or 2nd. This can be the 2nd December from today. I don't know why but this is the feel I get.

Q: When will I get a job?

Anchor - Scythe - Roads - Key - Tree

(3-5yrs) - (autumn) - (libra, sept-oct) -  (N/A) - May

Highly controversial Spread. I get a feel that if I do not make a decision soon its going to take a long time. Anchor and Tree both suggest delay and slow movement. The Scythe expects a sudden decision as to what I want to do and the key means the answer will come but a little late and with a delay. I often get a Tree in my job questions.

On to the timing thing, In Autumn I was presented with two different jobs opportunities. I have to choose one.  22 and 33 are master numbers and they are both present here side by side. I feel like the answer is not decided unless I take a decision.

Line of Nine for work

I am expecting a news from the company I have applied in for a job and there hasn't been a news so far therefore, I did a Line of Nine for this.9 cards are usually going to take one Month to manifest in real world.

Storks-Anchor-Stars-Tree-Clouds-Key-Birds-Ship-Fish

Storks - Anchor: Storks + Fish

There will be a change, a new job, a change in finances. Anchor+Stars:Anchor+Ship tells me this job is what I have been hoping for but it will restrict my movement a lot. Stars+Tree:Stars+Birds tell me this is what I have been wishing for a long time and this is what has been keeping me nervous. Stars+Birds is always night time for me, so I might be discussing it with someone at night. Tree+Key looks like some patience will result in an answer or the answer has been delayed.

The Clouds in the middle are definitely showing my confusion because I don't know whats going on in the Head Office. Key+Tree shows that the answer is: be patient. There is slowness in the matter. Birds+Stars; Birds+Ship tell me that I will be longing for the answer or this job for a while. Ship+Anchor;Ship+Fish, finally I will head home and answer will surface finally with Fish+Storks.

Using Traditional method:

Past: Storks+Anchor+Stars+Tree : there has been a change in employment or a change that made me more stable, and this makes me wish for a long-term growth.

present: Clouds: I'm not sure about my direction and I do not know what is going to happen

Future: Clouds +Key +Birds+ Ship + FIsh

A confused answer which will make me call someone far away to find the answer which is not apparent with all the confusion cards surrounding the Key. In future I see someone from far away helping.  It can be me going to the other city for the test which is required to be taken.

Using Another method posted by a fellow member:

Storks+Anchor+Stars: A change brings the Job I have been wishing for

Tree +Clouds + Key : a delay with confused answers

Birds +Ship +Fish: A phone call from far away will clear things up.The Fish to me is the surfacing out of blurriness, or things that are usually "under the pile" coming on top , therefore, I think its a great answer.

Update: This was a reading from first week of December. On December 14th I had an interview with a foreign company (Ship+Fish). This was a health related services company, thus the Tree.+Key I was asked to join on 26th December and I quit the training on December 29. This whole scenario happened within a week. The Clouds in the middle were keeping me confused as to "is this what I want" and I was so nervous (Birds) that I ended up fleeing (Ship). The reason was Anchor + Ship, it was restricting and restraining my freedom which I do not like at all. 

Practice Readings

I lately feel like I have lost my grip on my Lenormand Deck, therefore I decided to do some practice.

Question:
Why did he not call me today?

Answer:
Bear-Stars-Heart-Book-Roads


Bear can be his boss, or his mother, looks like she had to go somewhere (Bear+ Roads) that is why she took him with her. The Heart is middle suggests that he was happy and content going there. Stars + Heart tells he missed me, but he had some undecided work to do. I wonder if he went somewhere like a college or library or he had some documentation to do.


Base card: Rider. IT definitely tells he was on the go today. 
Adding numbers: 5-Tree
I hope he was not ill. I really hope.


Update: Bear was actually his boss, who kept him bust till night. He wanted to talk to me but he was busy with some paperwork . I confirmed with him if there were 2 kinds of works involved and it was right! Tree was his delay that he made in going home and then going sleep.


Q:  What Should I do to reduce weight?
A:
Rider - Mountain - Fish - Moon - House
Base: Dog

I have never done these sort of questions with these cards but I was tempted to do them. The Rider +Mountain tells me that instead of sitting down I should move around lot. Mountain+ Fish tells that I should drink more liquids specially at night (Fish + Moon) or specially clear liquids. Moon can be milk as well since that is white in color. Moon + House talks "comfortable sleep" which is quite true since I need to get my sleeping patterns changed.
The Base card tells me to be active, and sporty if I want to lose weight.
Adding Numbers: 1-Clover. This can literally be green vegetables or it can be referring to small portions.


Q: What should I do to improve my ailment?
A:
Stars - Rider - Birds - Garden - House

This suggests I can use spiritual means to cleanse. Active imagination can help. Stars and Birds both refer to night time, therefore, night time regimes are important. Garden+ House suggests home remedies and herbal solutions. 
Base Card: Moon. again an emphasis on night time. It looks like my night-time sleep is really upsetting my system.
Adding numbers: 13- Child. It looks like small things can help a lot, specially being happy. not doing anything big , its just a matter of time and improvement shall occur.




Q; What is he going to do to make up with me?
A:
Anchor - Sun - Clouds - Man - Fox
Base: Lily

It looks like he is quite determined to get things going again, but he is not really optimistic, neither is he quite hopeful about it with the clouds darker side towards the Sun. However his confusions are clearing up in the end and finally he is at his guard.

So He is determined to clear things up with his optimism while guarding himself at the same time.The base card tells me in the end we shall be back to our harmonious talks.

Adding Numbers: 11-Whip. We are definitely having an argument though.

update: He actually was determined to explain it to me and he did, but he was a little disappointed too, because of what I said to him. Fox was just his ability to not let me put any blame on him, thus guarding himself. In the end things were fine between us, after we had an argument .

what does he feel about me?

 I wanted to analyze our relationship so I divided into parts

Q: what does he feel about me?


A:
Cross - Birds - Flower - House - Roads
Base: Ring

So he feels that our union or meeting, or his phone call (Birds) to me was fate (Cross). This is  exactly what he tells me. Flowers + House shows our comfort and pleasure in talking next to birds. Roads however at the end tell me that he is hesitant or double-minded when it comes to settling down (house) with me.
The Ring as base card is not surprising, he is committed to me in ways that scare me LOL.
All of sudden I had a desire to add the numbers and see which card I get, and I got 9
(36+12+9+4+22+25=108=9) which is extremely powerful number and in Lenormand its Flowers, which is also the theme for this spread, so I see joy and happiness. he feels pleasure with me.

Q: What do I feel about him?
A:Bear + Rider + Birds + Storks+ Dog
Base: Roads

Interestingly I feel communicative about him too. If bear is me, and Rider is him then he is coming towards me. I feel like we are increasing the speed moving towards each other, with our calls and there is lots of improvements in my trust-levels. I have actually started trusting him after we have talked more often.But I still feel towards him like a friend.This is where the Roads come from. I'm totally unable to decide what I should do about him.
Adding Numbers: 13 Child. Its true that I feel like its TOO soon to decide or feel anything for him, but my feelings do have a potential for growth.


Q: What next 3 months will bring for our relationship?
A:
Flower - Mice - Storks - House - Coffin
Base : Garden

So whatever we share , happiness and joy, is going to be disturbed because of small issues.These issues can be related to our families or our private problems (Mice + House).But there will be improvement in our comfort level when storks bring it to us.In the end I see some kind of transformation, a change in our relationship which will bring something new in our lives. This change will be a happy one (Coffin+ Flower)
Base card confirms it with Garden. It looks like we will be meeting more often.


Adding numbers: 9 Flowers
Again? Looks like the next 3 months are full of joy for us.


Q: What is long-term future of this relationship?
A:
Birds - Mice - Tree - Whip - Flower
Base: Woman

It looks like there will be problems with communication. Birds has appeared in all questions I did for us. These problems will result in slow but steady growth of our partnership. There will be some pleasant arguments between us. From Birds to Flowers it looks like its going to go well. The Tree is middle shows steady growth.
Base card suggests that the long-term future rests in my hands. I can make it whatever I want out of it.
Adding Numbers: 17- Storks. Storks bring something new, an improvement , next level kind of feel. It looks like this relationship will improve with passage of time.


Update: An update that I stopped talking to him after we had an argument and Coffin was an end to everything which hurt us both. I was not comfortable with the way he behaved (House +Mice) and decided to move away from him in the beginning instead of keeping him tied up to me too long just to be disappointed in the end.It was always depending on me..all along!
