Relationship Spread!

This spread is a pretty popular one when it comes to relationships and I found it on Madam Seaqueen's lenormand blog.

Key:

Above the Lady: Her thoughts and plans
Right of the Lady: Her hopes and desires
Left of the Lady: Qualities she displays in the relationship
Below the Lady: Her feelings

On the Gentleman’s side:

Above the Gentleman: His thoughts and plans
Left of the Gentleman: His hopes and desires
Right of the Gentleman: Qualities he displays in the relationship
Below the Gentleman: His feelings

The spread is done for me and this guy I met at a New Year Party.

Checking out the Lady side first:

Thoughts and Plans:

The Bear for me is usually a dominating, strong & protective man. Dominating this man is harder than you even think. On other hand this card also suggests I'm more focused on my strength and power, both physical and financial. This card can be both in my case. My thoughts are usually on another guy, who unfortunately doesn't feel as strongly towards me as I do towards him & at the same time I'm more focused on learning and having a strong financial base right now.

Hopes & Desires:

Before I even pulled the cards I was already thinking what will I get in this position & this reminded me of last night when someone asked me "Do you like kids?" and I was like "yeah, I want 3 of them, 2 boys and a girl". Its funny how I'm obsessed with Kids and my thoughts are all on being strong enough, for my kids, who someday will look up to mommy & know who they want to be like! 

Child also suggests I want sensitivity & naiveness, in this relationship.

Feelings:

My feelings are very much open & flighty you might say. I think the last thing on my mind right now is a romantic relationship & my feelings change a lot, when it comes to matters of romance. I'm more concerned with my freedom than with anything. 

Qualities I display in relationship:

Hope, faith, dreams and positive energy like that. I also associate this card with new paths and new hopes. This shows that I bring the element of hope in the relationship.

Now taking a look at him:

His thoughts and Plans:

Looks like he is stressed and troubled. Reminds me of the time when I met him and he was very very keen to make friends with me & I asked him why & he said "I thought I needed someone to talk to". Looks like there is something that is upsetting him in a bad way.

Hopes & Desires:

Ring: Oh that explains a lot of things. He seeks a connection, which he told me in our first meeting. He is looking for a stable commitment sort of thing, (but he says the opposite :/ ) and he hopes for a stronger and deeper connection. He is a Libra, 7th house ruler and ruled by Venus, so if he hopes for a relationship, he is very much in tune with what he really needs.

His Feelings:

House: He feels safe & comfortable. 

Qualities he displays in the relationship:

Heart: Yes he is very compassionate and very caring towards me.

So looking at the situation, He wants a relationship, he is warm and caring & he feels comfortable then what is troubling him (Mountain)? May be its my thoughts of another man I share with him that bother him. But I do bring hope in the relationship but at the same time my feelings are very changeable and inconsistent.

The good part is he wants a stable connection & I want kids.

He feels comfortable and secure & I feel change & improvement.

He shows love & I show hope.

The only thing that bothers me is, he is stressed because my thoughts are on power & strength (& another man) instead of him.

To get the outcome, we have to add the cards:

Mine: 15 + 13 + 16 + 17 = 61 = 7 - Snake

His: 21 + 25 + 24 + 04 = 74 = 11 - Whips

Adding both 7 + 11 = 18 - Dog & 9-Flowers

so Whips + Snake means conflicts and troubles along with arguments. Interestingly both are Jack & Queen of same suit & can be representing me & him, he is very athletic & sporty & communicative while I'm bit colder, career-focused & complicated. The outcome however, leads to good faithful friendship or happy nice company. We can say that troubles and verbal complications are there, we might even have some communication issues, but the outcome is good friends & happy endings with hearts & roses.

Phew! I welcome your views on this. Thank you :))

EDIT: I really loved what madam Seaqueen wrote about Snake as the lover/woman in her blogpost here. It simply explains ME!

Week 49- Predictions (Updated)

A year since I started my weekly draws! Time sure flies!

Week 49

Key Card:
House

Keywords:
Comfort, security, personal space, home & family

I feel emotionally (Moon) safer & comfortable with my feelings (Heart) this week. Its a good sign given the fact I have been feeling totally out of place last week. I also feel loved & safer this week.

I do feel very much at home now. It seems like life is back on track & something very good will eventually happen out of it all.

Left arm:
Snake -Mice - Moon
A woman feels worried and sensitive. There might also be a loss of appreciation & honours (Moon). This may be involving another woman (Snake). There is a reduction of complication (possibly with an older woman) but at the same time there is a loss of sensitivity or honours.

Snake usually represents my mother with whom things are usually complicated.

Right arm:
Heart - Tree - Stars
I see a growing hope & faith in love. I need it, really!

Thing are rather good on love front too. I feel lots of hope & want a slow & steady growth.

Other Information:
Mice - Tree = A loss of health or a health concern
Moon - Heart = feeling loved

I had a bad bad stomach ache this week which lasted 2-3 days.

There are two 7's which indicate a significant change.

The most significant change was the start of my apprenticeship this week.

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 43 Predictions

week 43

THEME CARD: LILIES
Key words: Harmony, a mature older man

I feel like I will be socialising more among older and wiser people this week, may be a couple (King of Spades & Queen of Diamonds). This can also mean taking some time/counselling regarding a decision.

Since this man or resting period is the theme of the week, I guess there is not much excitement going on. actually I do not remember ever having Lilies as my theme card in a weekly drawing. I want to see what happens.

I was right about the resting period, specially with Scythe-Garden. I stayed in, all week long. Didn't go out for anything at all. Did some soul searching & felt sick.

Left arm:
Lady - Scythe - Garden
I feel like taking a sharp decision to cut off from a group, a gathering or simply a decision to stay off twitter or facebook this week. I know where this is heading. It can also be me, having a cyber verbal fight (Scythe is sharp & cutting).

I was actually off from "people" this week. Thus didn't update any posts on blog too.

Right Arm:
Roads - Sun - Heart
A decision which will result is a much more warmer & satisfied heart/love life. Alternatively, its a woman and a man reaching a point where they decide to open their hearts to each other (Queen of Diamonds & Jack of Hearts).

I had a choice, to make or break. I feel so utterly lonely these days, why? is it because I have shut myself in? I have a choice, we all do!
I had a heart-to-heart with my friend today, he is a Sagittarius  so he can be Jack of Hearts & I feel so good talking it all out.

Story Line:
A lady (me) is cutting off from social life, in order to counsel a man or take advice from a man about a decision which is about matters of heart. This decision involves Two men, one older & wiser & other younger & charming (King of Spades & Jack of Hearts)

I did cut off from people this week, and I did ask my friend what to do? The choice was rather between a man, older wiser & a guy my age & very pleasant & I must say, warm-hearted.

The Subject Concerned Spread by Golden Mousedeer

Original spread & author of blog found here

I came across this reading so I decided to do one for myself, actually regarding this man.

Q: What are his thoughts & situation regarding his relationship/friendship with me?

The Current Situation:
Moon - Lady - Heart

So I'm at the centre & he thinks of me as a dreamer, and also as an affectionate, in-love with love person. The appearance of Moon makes me wonder if he dreams about me. There are dreams, intuition, emotions, regarding me & possibly feelings of affection too, in his thoughts.

Possible evolution:
Man + Storks. Storks is usually a man who does not stick to something for long which is surprising me since he is a Venus in Capricorn guy & he is anything but flighty or unstable. Either way, he would want a change in situation, soon.

I posted this spread a month ago, and what I have found regarding this Man - Storks thing is that his behaviour towards me has actually changed, improved.

What Dominates : Coffin.
I would have hated to see Cross here, but Coffin is a card of grief & concern, which usually does not last long. So I think there is dominating factor of change, a process where we are getting to know each other after the bad closure we had the last time around & it won't be long before things are happy again. Precisely, in context of the question, his grief is dominating the situation.He is a workaholic & I'm the lady with a warm heart, he sure would want a Change soon!

Conclusion:
Letter
Contact, information & communication. Its amazing how it fits the description since we are physcially far away & we only write to each other, usually long messages, so I should expect some more communication before things can change.

Overall, I call this spread good.

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 38 (already?)

Time is like flying seriously!!!

Week 38

Theme card: Flowers
I have this card in this placement after a long long time. This card signifies invitations, happiness, joy, & gifts. The most common association of this card I have is with invitations & offers. There is Dog & Key around it so I believe this offer or invitation is from a friend and its very significant for me.

Most important event of this month/of the year has happened this week. This was regarding an important friend. Dog-Key

Left arm:
Tree - Mice - Dog
Loss of health, or feeling moody & gloomy (PMS?) and as a result a fall out with a friend or someone close. It often happens to me.

Tree - Snake = health issues, complication related to health
Mice - Heart = loss of love
Dog - Key = important friend

It has been happening for last three nights that I'm having weird dreams, about a friend & I am feeling weird in terms of mood. My head is usually full of worries these days & its effecting me negatively. This is also resulting in me closing off from a friend really close to me. I feel like I should not talk to anyone until i'm feeling better.

Right arm:
Key - Heart - Snake
Some very important complications in matters of love between a man & a woman.An important event of love for a woman.

Well it was expected wasn't it? I had a detailed discussion & an unexpected encounter with my first high school crush. During Pluto transits last week, I realized I hadn't really gotten over the complications we had between us, so I told him I needed a closure. We ended up on a good note. I hope we will talk again.

Other information:
Two sevens indicate a change of events.

Well, definitely yes! Things have improved.

Lets see what happens!!!

Week 32 forecast (updated)

Week 32

The theme of the week is solitude, loneliness. The surrounding cards look so lovely that I'm sure it won't be in a negative manner.
Tower - Heart tells me I will be feeling good being alone.
Tower - Flowers implements the same things.

Well to be honest I don't know if this hadn't been the Tower then what else would describe the situation so well. This Tower card has made me realize my self-worth & an ability to not put up with people's unacceptable behaviour. Detachment is a better word here. I'm perfectly comfortable with this though.

Tower - Rider can be an official message coming this week.
Tower - Lilies can be withdrawal and rest
Tower - Moon is emotionally closed off and coldness.
Tower - Storks finally means by the end of the week I'd have charged my batteries up and will be ready for a change.

The official message or the news I got was not so official. It was rather a helpful step. Most part of the week I was resting & taking a breath from the worries from last week. I agree I have been emotionally a bit cold this week and by the end of the week, I'm ready to flee.

Left arm:
Rider - Lilies - Flowers
This looks like a nice message, or a visit from a couple (King and Queen of Spades). Besides that this can be a nice message or nice easy conversations with a male and a female.

Other combinations:
Rider - Storks = a change which is brought on by a message.
Lilies - Moon = emotional/dreamy man.emotional balance and harmony
Flowers - Heart = a date, a lovely meeting/surprise

I have had several messages coming up this week. No couple visited us but I've had some cheerful conversations with a nice older/mature advisor sort of man.I'm not that surprised because of Transiting Jupiter Conjunct my Venus. 

Right arm:
Heart - Moon - Storks
This looks like emotions taking a flight. A heightened sense of joy.Emotions are improved, changed and it feels good.

Storks - Rider = a change which is on way
Moon - Lilies = peaceful and harmonious emotions. sexual emotions/dreams
Heart - Flowers = happy love

Again I will associate this to the Jupiter (expansion) touching Venus (love & beauty) in my chart. I have been taking a lot care of myself, eating healthy, exercise, sleeping well and everything. Its very important right now during this transit. My skin looks good and I feel good about myself.

This looks like a good week. I will be spending most of my time alone, but its good in a way because of all the happy and positive cards around me. There are two Queens so I expect a lot of gossip again this week. There is a King and Queen again having conversations (Rider) which looks positive. There is also a Jack and a Queen having Moon between them so I expect some emotional talk with someone younger (if the Queen of Hearts is me).

There has been lots of gossiping going on LOL and yes I did talk some emotional stuff with a friend of mine who is younger than me. He is going through a rough time. I'm amazed the way incorporating Playing Cards inserts for the court cards work so well.

There are four cards from suit of hearts in the spreads, which makes the week kind of emotional and relationships oriented.

Answer Spread with Lenormand

I did this answer spread reading in the first week of May 2012. I was not sure how the spread is going to pan out in future but it seems like a good idea to put it up now.

Answer Spread

Q: What should I do in order to attract the right kind of relationship?

The two cards on the left indicate past influences, or the premise of the question.
Stars - Coffin is a place where you have lost hope, and honestly, when you lose hope you are like half-dead already. Hope is the essence of life, it keeps you going, you always strive because you know at the end of the day its going to be ok. In my past experiences and specially my really bad relationship being over and me getting nothing out of it and then for 3 years I was trying to find it again, to feel that way again, but it just did not happen. It seemed like I had given up on idea of love. The Stars-Coffin was my hope of being in love, or even feeling it again failing. So actually I was just trying to ask if I will ever start believing in love again.

The two cards in the middle indicate present influences, and answer the question.
Key - Scythe shows that some really important "surgical procedure" is going on where I'm cutting off from the negative aspects. I'm taking some sudden decisions which are really important. The Key indicates that I'm at a really important point in life.

The two cards on the right indicate future influences, or contributing factors.

Well, this looks like falling in love with a friend. 

Here is the link to the GT from May 2012 and you can see the diagonal in future cards, yes...Heart + Dog

And it turned out to be just that. If you guys remember we had Venus Retrograde in May2012 and that was precisely the time when this friend, who made a re-entry in my life and just the day when Venus turned retro, I felt a shift in my feelings towards him. I was and am scared if the shift was because of Venus not acting sober, but the retro has been over and my doubts were nothing. 

I just wanted to share, you guys know how much I love to share when a reading of mine manifests *show off*

Update:
Here is an update after 8 months. The Key always tells us what is important & what must come to pass. The key also represents solutions. The Scythe is the card which clearly means cutting off or getting rid of. The combo Key + Scythe on its own says "must get rid of". Scythe is also Jack of Diamond which represents a really aggressive person who is also blunt. 
That time when I posted this spread, I was single & not seeing anyone. I realised I had to get rid of the negativities in my life & most importantly my blunt nature where I quickly, and fairly quickly become judgemental.After this draw, the cards for future influence actually turned out to be pretty accurate *winking & skipping details*

Where is he busy tonight?

So this person I'm wondering about has been off since morning today and its very unusual for him. I just wanted to know what my cards say because I will ask him eventually and see how it matches my reading.

Q: Where is he busy tonight?

A:Tower as theme card tells me either he is at office (he is a Government Official) or he is alone and just cutting off from me.

Key-Anchor = This looks like he is busy with his work today. Something important about his work.
Clover-Heart = he is having luck with whatever he is doing.

Reflection:
Key - Heart = he is busy with something that is close to his heart
Anchor - Clover = lucky at work

Other Combinations:
Key-Tower = important task which needs to be done alone
Key-Clover = definite success

Tower - Key = success with authorities
Tower - Anchor = work place
Tower- Clover = success with authorities
Tower- Heart = coldness from love

I gather he is busy with his work so much he is just not in a mood to talk to anyone.

Update: This turned out to be his work & some personal matters he had to take care of. I ended up having a huge argument with him "how long does it take to type a text message saying "I'M busy" but he is the Tower-Heart kind of guys AKA workaholic. My idea was right, he was actually busy with work.

Thoughts of Ex-lover

Line of Five has always been a favourite of mine because of its simplicity and to the point answer. Sarah has been in a relationship for about a year now but these days specially she finds herself thinking about her ex lover with whom she has not been in touch for about 2 years now. They broke up 4 years ago so there is no chance for them to be back together yet she finds herself wondering, rather wishing if he will message her someday. Her question is: why am I still thinking about him?

Dog - Rider as the first two cards, confirm that her thoughts are on this guy from past.Dog-Mountain, this person is someone with whom things were not easy or we can say telepathy is at work and this guy is in problem. Dog- Heart shows she is still having feelings for him and she is still in love with him, at least a part of her is. Dog - Letter shows we can expect a message from him. May be just a friendly message.

Rider - Mountain is news not coming, this news can be something from far away, since both Rider and Mountain sound "foreign". This guy from past lives far away, so may be she needs to just hear from him. Rider-Heart , yes she needs to hear from this person because she is still having a soft corner for him in her heart. Rider - Letter = a document, probably an email, will come by from this person.

Mountain - Dog she worries about this person . Mountain- Rider this person has caused some blockages in her life. Mountain - Heart the blockages are related to the matter of expressing love. Mountain - Letter there is no message, news from this person.

Dog - Rider is a friend who is coming over, or thoughts on a friend and Heart-Letter reflecting it says that there is a desire to send a message to this person.

Middle card answers the question, Mountain, blockages, delays and stress. She needs to release her feelings of love towards him, probably by writing to him since writing is one of the best therapies I have tried, specially in cases like this. Once she releases what she is holding inside, she will stop thinking about him.

Daily Draw June 6, 2012

Weather : Cloudy

Cards: Snake + Fish + Heart

Key Card: Snake

Key words: An older lady, complication, detour

Prediction: The Fish is a card of money, investments and business. This complication or lady is either related to money or investments or is badly engulfed in a situation. This situation is relate to love or a younger person (Jack of Hearts).

An older lady who is good with money and investments is in love.


A complication in matters of heart is keeping me occupied today.

What Happened in relation to cards: The whole day was loaded with problems, problems and more problems. There is so much going on right now I don't even know from where I start sorting it all out.The complication does not only involve a matter of Heart but also lots of other practical stuff, the project, the travel plans, my periods being late, its so so so much going on. Oh darn it, I was unable to remember this word yesterday but Fish to me is "plenty" as well. Plenty of complication.

Observation: The Card Snake in major spreads has always been a lady, but in daily draw,it can be a complication.

Week 23 (Updated)

Cards for the week:

Coffin - Mice - Tower - Stars - Sun - Heart - Clover

week 23

Theme Card: Stars
Key words : Hope, guidance, new path, success

The card Stars is also associated with spirituality, astrology, astronomy, and the science. In my readings, this card has also represented astrological transits and a psychic lady. With Tower I'm wondering if there is a association or organization of psychic or astrologers which brings some success (Tower - Stars-Sun). I was reading some Russian meanings I have collected and it said a strange thing "Stars means calmness, it can also be associated with colour Blue". Blue is my favourite colour to meditate on when I feel down, it calms me. Stars - Tower is honours and success.

Stars and Sun is a great combination, because it speaks about success and luck. So at least the theme looks good.

Left arm:

Coffin - Mice - Tower
Where the Mice is eating at the negative energy of the Coffin, the Mice may also be some worries which will upset me a bit too much. I'm not liking the combination of Coffin-Mice and then Mice-Tower. Coffin-Mice will put an end to the problems I am having, specially the feeling of having too much to do and too little time, but Mice-Tower looks like these worries will make me lose my self-confidence and my ability to do it alone.

Coffin//Clover is good pair as it is suggesting after a period of bad luck, hope will be re achieved. Mice//Heart - Loss of love, for the first half of the week, I can say yes.
Tower//Sun = This looks promising finally something nicer to look forward to.

Update Mid-week
I'm really surprised how I was so so so down with worries and so stressed. Then all of sudden I started praying, after a long long time actually. Its the power of faith that keeps me going and my faith was being so strong that I finally got over one of my major problems, one is on way to solution and the others will be solved in time too. 

Right arm:
Sun - Heart - Clover
Sun warms everything that is around it. With Heart it looks like warming of the heart. Ending with Clover it looks all good during the second half of the week despite the fact that Clover is reflecting to Coffin and Heart to Mice. I'm hopeful (isn't that what the Stars are about).

Reading as a story: After a period of bad circumstances, the worries are going away and putting me back in position. There is regained hope and success, which leads to a happy and content heart.

I have 2 negative, 4 positive and 1 neutral card here. There are more Reds than Blacks (5:2) and also there are three 6's. Three 6's either denote money gained or a small gathering or party. I'm expecting a family get-together this week.

Update week ends:
The second part of the week was probably the best part of my week without a doubt. The Sun-Heart combo brought a lot of luck , happiness and warmth in matters of Heart (not romantic, but something like affection for someone). But I did feel some down times, some worries, some doubts (Heart-Mice) swarming in my head. The get together was fun actually.

Continued reading from March-May reading (Updated)

Here is the first part of this lady's story and now she has asked me to do another reading using the same layout for she and her Lilies guy.

Using Heart again for the theme card,

Past: Coffin - Child - House

 The past shows an ending and a new beginning which brought her some peace and comfort.

Present: Lady - Heart - Mice

She is in love, it shows, but she is worried at the same time. The cards around Mice are House and the other card is Roads. Mice eat whats to the left and as a result you lose whats to the right. The Mice is eating at her feelings of privacy, comfort and security (of being single) and as a result she is losing her options/alternatives. From the draw we did last time, when she was single and not feeling like binding herself with one person, this looks obvious. The one disadvantage which comes with having an exclusive relationship.

Soon : Next two weeks: Flowers - Stars - Roads

She will feel happy, might get an invite at night, and this will again put her at a crossroad.  Stars with Roads shows that if the right choice is made, it will bring success for her.

Immediate: Next two months (till July 24th)

Fox - Whip - Storks

There is something wrong there. Lies will cause trouble, or extra caution will cause trouble, but discussions will help sorting things out. 

The Answer, Trigger Row:

Child - Heart - Stars - Whip

The love they share is pure and innocent, and is budding right now. There is lots of success for this relationship in near future. The Whips usually represent conflict and trouble but with Stars I don't think it will be any disastrous one. Whip is also physical passion, specially its with Stars which says "music" in Treppner's course. 

We have 5 positive, 4 negative and 2 neural cards (Heart was pre-chosen so not included here). Things look smooth for next two months.

Update: Things were pretty smooth for the Time from May to July.There is a new budding romance which is still in the immature phase. There are some problems budding right now, some aggression issues, the Whips card is showing itself.

Update: By July 24th they had a major trouble, an argument which led to lot of trouble.

Reconciliation, possible or Not? (Updated)

This spread has been done for a lady F who has been married for about 3 years now. The marriage has seen a few good days and mostly bad ones. She has moved out since last week and has been staying with us since then. She asked me if there will be a reconciliation with her husband. The matter which is the point of argument between them is another young lady who is her relative by marriage.

Q: Will there be a reconciliation between F and her husband?

Pre-chosen : Ring

Rider - Storks - Ring - Heart - Mice

There has been a message which caused some improvement in the past. A relative from the other side tried to sort the matter between them. In the coming influences there is a clear heartache. I do see a reconciliation any time soon and a change is on the horizon. With Mice ending the line, it will not be something most welcome.If I take Queen of Hearts as her and the Jack of Hearts as him, looks like he is trying to work things out but she is not (she is facing away from him). Storks - Ring - Heart tells that the marriage will be saved after an improvement. The love however, may not be the same.

Update: A message came by from the husband's side, a middle man who offered his services for hearing the story from both sides and trying to bring both families on a table and put the concerns out. This has been the only improvement in the matter so far.

With the same question in mind, this time without pre-choosing any card, I dealt five cards:

Flowers - Garden - Moon - Lady - Man

woowwhh! Flower and Garden is obviously a good sign. The Moon in the middle suggests that there will be success. Moon - Lady tells me that may be her mother will play an important role in this. Flower - Garden suggest a happy meeting, some chat and then matter reaching conclusion. The story says they might get an invitation to a party at night and they come across each other. The only thing which concerns me here, is that Lady and Man both are facing away from each other. So may be they reach reconciliation but things remain a little colder between them for quite sometime. We have two 8s and 2 Aces in this spread. Two Aces say leadership and authority and two 8's mean pleasure and good time.

Opinions and suggestion are welcome.

Update: There has a been a reconciliation recently. They have moved back together and I have no clue whether they have sorted their differences out or not yet but apparently things look good. The Moon was obviously pointing towards success, her mother played a really important part. A really charming man was also a dominant party to the reconciliation. 

Week 20 (Updated)

So we are 20weeks far in 2012.

Weekly Draw, Week 20

The central card for the week is Fox, which is a card that may manifest in two ways as said by Mama Whodun. Either you are the Fox or you come in the way of a Fox. If you click on to read the post, you will see there is a wonderful analysis of this logic-driven animal. I'm not sure yet which side of this card is coming up for me this week but I will stay alert to digging it out.

With Tower and Dog, I guess I know who its talking about. The Dog + Tower is a friend who works in a govt. department and is very logical. I actually get advises on being logical from him. This week the situation looks false, shallow and intellectual between us. The Dog + Fox tells me that this friendship is actually just a false friendship, which he has openly confessed today. He clearly said he never saw me as his friend *disappointed*.

Anchor - Letter - Dog shows there is some stagnation with talking things through with this friend.  The Anchor however mirrors Sun which looks comforting. Letter - Heart shows there are some issues regarding feelings which need resolution. Dog - Tower, talk about being authoritative, or may be he is just too lonely. 

Anchor + Letter = long awaited news

Letter + Dog = message from a friend

Tower - Heart - Sun

This looks like there is loss of some feelings, feeling of being alone and cold. but the presence of Sun looks promising at the end. The Heart is divided between cold and warm from both sides. I hope it does not mean a separation from a great love. Sun + Anchor = sustained success, Tower + Dog = a strict friend/male , Heart - Letter = love letter. 

Tower + Heart = feeling of being alone

Heart + Sun = a great love.

Looks like a mixed week. Its important because things between me and a friend are at a crucial stage. I want to sort this matter. All of sudden we are locking horns. May be the message of Fox is to act smart.

Tuesday:
Letter + Dog and Letter//Heart. Well, we did have communication and that too very lovely and rather affectionate today. Things seems good for today at least.


Wednesday:
Dog + Fox and Dog + Tower. Tower, I was told, sometimes represents things from past because Tower is what is there for a long time. Today I encountered, despite my utmost efforts to avoid my past, some friends, or some girls who apparently knew me, but I did not recognize them. They were probably some girls from my high school, junior or senior may be, I have no clue, but they recognized me. The Fox was me, trying to ditch the questions and move on.


Thursday:
Fox + Dog and Fox + Tower
This was a day when my friend (represented by Dog this week) wanted some time alone and he is being a little weird about his whereabouts, which is giving me these Fox kind of mixed feelings. He said he was busy (Tower) but I'm wondering if he is hiding something I should know about *wondering*

Another Dream interpretation reading

I had another disturbing dream last night which is keeping upset even after waking up and trying to forge it. This dream had one main character who was a friend in high school and he had a crush on me. I on the other hand was more interested in his friend. So after many years we came in touch last year when he invited me to his wedding and he was insisting that I must come. I was happy for him. In my dream things were different. I had joined high school again to improve my grades (which I have always wanted) and this time he was the teacher (wow) besides that there were two more people in that dream, my high school boyfriend, and the guy I was with few months ago.Both appeared for very short time . So my past was kind of theme. 

Q: What did this dream mean to tell me?

dream interpretation

Row 1: What was the Dream about:

The theme was my relationships, and them too romantic ones, from past. The Key indicates there were some important lessons in this dream about love and relationships. Ring is the first card which represents your current thoughts, so yes I was wondering all morning, if he still thinks about me. My best friend(our mutual friend too) says he does, although he is married now and has a kid.

Row 2: What the dream symbols mean:

Rider + Lilies = a man of foreign origin. Rider+Lilies has represented one of the guys from the dream. He is older and wiser than me and it was more like a Ring+Lilies relationship. The Stars symbolise new path, guidance and hopes. I believe someone will come towards me, who can bring me some guidance and hope.

Row 3: How the dream affects my waking life:

Snake - Storks - Man

There are complications which will resolve and a change is needed regarding a man. 

Columns: Past: Ring - Rider - Snake

There has been a relationship which ended badly.

Present: Key - Lilies - Storks

A definite help for moving on once the key lessons have been learnt.

Future: Heart - Stars - Man

new love, with a new man.

Corners:

Ring + Man + Heart + Snake

This is a man who is bound in a relationship , which makes our love life complicated.

I know who this is about. 

Central Cross:

Key + Rider + Stars + Storks

There is sure arrival of some guidance, hope and a change.

Diagonals: Ring + Heart with Storks a definite change in love and relationships

Snake + Man and Key , a Man with a lady or a man who is complicated or troublesome, will prove helpful.

Over all what I gather from this spread is that there is going to be a change in my life which involves a man. The cards which touch this Man are new (Stars , Lilies, Storks) I have no idea who he is. 

"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!

Project Dream Interpretation (updated)

I am a dreamer, a heavy dreamer, that's what I call it. I have a Neptune influence stronger since I was 13years old and I have a fantastic mechanism in my head which makes me remember my dreams for years. There are many childhood dreams which I can recall right now. So my dreams have always been an integral part of my life since forever. Sometimes its a down time and there are no dream recalls, which upsets me. I'm so used to seeing them every night. Sometimes there are more than one and I would remember each incident from each one of them. So the long story short, I love my dreams. Their absence makes me miss them.

So when dreams are an important part of your life, so does their symbolism and interpretation. I think this is what keeps me interested in them, the solving the mystery part. Over the long time and my practice with interpreting them, I have found that the main thing about any dream is the overall feeling. The minute you wake up and this feeling you have, yes that's the root of it. I have had this really amazing yet confusing dream last night and was very much interested in knowing what it wants to let me know.Another reason this dream was very important because sometimes when I'm very much disappointed in my waking life, I call out to my soul mate in dreams, I mean I meditate before sleeping to invite him in to my dreams, and last night he appeared.

I was inspired by Madame Seaqueen's Trigger Layout, therefore, I first chose to do a box of 9, but then rather did the Trigger Layout.

While putting the cards down, I focused on the events in the dream. The people , the colours, the feeling, the events in the dream. So here is the position meanings:

1--2--3--4

5--6--7--8

9-10-11-12

Cards 1-2-3-4 = What the dream was about

Cards 5-6-7-8= What the dream symbols meant

Cards 9-10-11-12= How it is/will effect the waking life

The central Trigger Row is the key. No cards were pre-chosen. 

I will first write what the dream was. So I had a one-to-one self-talk session for the first time last night. I put my thoughts on recording, for myself, so that I will listen to it later. It was like I was talking to a friend, out loud, I'm voicing my concerns and my opinions about myself. I'm having some rough time for about few weeks now. This self-talk did help me a lot. After that I was about to sleep and I called on to my soulmate, like I usually do and somewhere in there in middle of it, I slept.

The Dream:

The dream as I remember it started with me in my parents home. There was an event going on, I think my brother was getting married. This guy was our guest. He was in the room which is away from rest of the house. I went in there and somehow we ended up finding a connection between us. I was staring at his face and he was staring at me and then he was kissing me and I got up from the couch and started looking for something. Someone saw us kissing a while ago and all of sudden someone came there, and gave some negative remarks about us. I wanted to say that nothing wrong was going on between us but my voice did not come out because in my head I said "I was kissing him how can I deny, no one will understand". It was more like he was told to leave immediately and I was wondering what happened because no one is going to believe me that I had some soul connection with him, we were not just playing around. Then he left, he was hurt, I was hurt and quiet and everyone else was busy with the bride or something.

So the feel of the dream was a sense of having him, feeling love, feeling those emotions intensely and then losing him just because others won't approve.

Cards:

Row 1: What the dream was about:

The First card is the Heart, which definitely shows that there was love (lovers) in dream. The Mice right next to it brings the idea of stealing, or doing something without letting anyone know. The Coffin sums up the painful feeling, the loss. The Scythe in the end however assures that I recovered quickly. I did not cry or scream or anything, I was just quiet, wondering about how he made me feel. So this row has excellently summed it up.

Row 2: The meaning:

Sun -Rider looks a good news, Rider looks like someone is coming towards me, but what's worrying me is the Snake and Tower. This could mean that someone will bring some happiness in my life, but may be I'm too cold and distant for him. In the dream too, I was feeling like I was not warming up. I was mainly quiet in the dream. The Tower also suggests that I need to stand up for myself, I should have stood up for him in my dream, I should have made him stay. Now I'm realising why the dream left me uneasy, because I did not do the right thing. Just because someone won't approve didn't mean he had to leave, right?

Row 3: How it effects the waking life:

In waking life, I have got a confirmation that I should carry on with my self-talk sessions more often since they are opening up the emotional blockages I have in me. I'm usually not good at voicing my concerns, I will rather keep them juggled in my tiny head. So this looks like an affirmation that I need to open myself up, more in terms of emotions.

The spread looks positive even though the dream was fairly negative. I have actually liked interpreting my dream with this spread. I will see if I can get a few more (dreams) to practice the spread on.

So far, very glad I did it!


Update July 09, 2012


It was literal, and I mean very literal. I'm dating this guy, someone who made a re-entry in my life and just the day Venus Retrograde started I had a shift in my feelings. Throughout the Venus Retrograde I was scared if the feeling goes away when the retrograde ends, and if I end up hurting him again. After the Venus Retro I have realized that I'm actually in love with him. I have not felt this way about him before but now I do and it feels amazing. The most creepy part of the story about this dream, the guy in the dream was wearing a Maroon shirt and this guy, on our first date was also wearing a maroon shirt! 

week 17 (Updated)

Theme Card:

This week looks all about money but in a good way, since the surrounding cards look supporting.

Fish + Man = A man who is good at investments, an entrepreneur, a business man
Fish + Book = secret finances, money kept away, business books

Man - Fish - Book = A man who studies finance or who is a publisher or something to do with studies. I guess I have an idea who he is.

April 25,2012
I have just finally made the payment for the project modules.I have been unable to make any decision for about a month now and I really have no idea that how I ended up deciding because of this Man who does these small projects independently. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he does not break my trust just for this one time.

Left arm:

Whip - Clover - Man
Cheerful conversations with a man

Whip + Key = important conversations that must happen
Clover + Heart = luck in matters of heart
Man + Book = A man I know about, a man who studies, is introvert

so there are some important and definite conversations with a man who is an introvert or who studies. These discussions will be happy and cherished ones.

April 23, 2012
Whip+Key = Yes very very important discussion which went wrong. wrong as in heated. I wanted to discuss it calmly, easily but guess I'm not a very tolerant person. It ended up as a rather heated argument.


Had some argument with my Dad over last three days but I did realize there was a need for proper conversation with sitting down, controlling the emotions and then finally putting my words out in a proper manner , which I did, and me and my family ended up coming to a resolution for the problem which has been holding us apart for quite sometime now. 


April 24, 2012: Clover + Heart ; Clover + Man (heart to heart with Jay).
Had some Heart - to -Heart with Jay. It helped me a lot recovering from whatever I was going through. Interestingly he was studying for his lecture next day when I rang him at midnight (Man + Book).


April 25, 2012: Man + Fish + Book = payment acknowledgement receipt from him
He rang me today because I deposited the money for the coding part of the project I got done and he sent me the Payment acknowledgement, besides that he assured me that things will be sorted in time. I'm much much relaxed now.

Right arm:

Book + Heart + Key

This looks like a love which is not yet known, but is important.

Book + Man = A man not known yet
Heart + Clover = lucky love
Key + Whip = a solution which arrives for the second time, clearing up of a new opportunity

This looks like a week where a man about whom I don't know yet will bring some new chance regarding something pleasant, but there is an element of secrecy around this man.

April 27,2012
Book + Man ; Book + Heart 
I today finally received a reply from M.A, yaay!


April 28, 2012
Heart + Whip ; Heart + Clover
SO I finally rang "M" and we did argue a little about the last time we had a fight and then everything was fine. Lucky day indeed!
There is also an interesting thing that I drew these cards from the Psychic tarot:

Psychic Tarot : Copyright John Holland

Throat chakra - memories of love - love begins

I have been meditating a lot on the throat chakra recently and I have realized that it helps me being calm and collected. The love begins is at the end, which looks promising.
