Would You Like a Tarot Read?

I offer tarot readings in a slightly unconventional way. I need some time to sit with the cards and my intuition before I can tell you what they're telling me. We meet for a fifteen minute intake session where we clarify your question and your current circumstances. And then I will deliver a write up with clarity, insight, and ideas (along with a picture of the spread) and send it to you within 72 hours.

A layout of tarot cards on a black cloth featuring celestial designs. The cards include 'The Sun,' 'The World,' 'The Hierophant,' and various cups and pentacles.

Will I Find Love?

Note: Yes or no ques­tions are usu­al­ly not great for Tarot, so the client and I talked and adjust­ed the ques­tion to be more like, “What should I know about romance oppor­tu­ni­ties before me?”

This quer­ent did­n’t need or want me to drill down too far on the indi­vid­ual cards or their par­tic­u­lar mean­ing in each par­tic­u­lar place­ment, but to focus more on the over­all read­ing, so I’ll just be doing key­words for the cards and focus­ing on the nar­ra­tive.

They chose a Celtic Cross spread. I should say that like many things that are prac­ticed wide­ly, the Celtic Cross has some dis­agree­ment about pre­cise card mean­ings and which posi­tions match with what mean­ing, but it real­ly does­n’t mat­ter as long as you’re using the same for­mat every time. I use the form I learned out of the first cou­ple of books I picked up and THEN real­ized there were a lot of dif­fer­ent inter­pre­ta­tions.

So over­all this is a wild­ly good read­ing, and the signs point to find­ing that love. Espe­cial­ly once a few per­son­al obsta­cles are dealt with. The reversed four of wands com­ing up as the cen­tral prob­lem led me to the insight that this per­son prob­a­bly already knew the love inter­est, and was sim­ply in a state of con­fu­sion and hes­i­ta­tion about whether it was real­ly a thing. Per­haps an aquain­tance who they sim­ply had­n’t con­sid­ered that way yet. Crossed by the Ace of Pen­ta­cles (cross­ing can mean con­tra­dic­tion or inten­si­fi­ca­tion depend­ing on the con­text) is say­ing that a new oppor­tu­ni­ty is hap­pen­ing in the mate­r­i­al world.

What it looks like to me is that they’re com­ing out of a peri­od of try­ing too hard to micro­man­age their love life, and giv­en the rest of the read and the fact that they told me they were hit­ting the dat­ing apps pret­ty hard, I guessed that maybe they were try­ing to com­mod­i­fy a con­nec­tion instead of enjoy­ing some­thing organic–like try­ing to order the per­fect part­ner off a menu. And what they real­ly need­ed was to shift from this fantasy/daydream. A cou­ple of the cards even sug­gest that this lev­el of con­trol might be bor­der­ing on attempt­ed manip­u­la­tion but at least overex­ten­sion of attempt­ing to con­trol, “fix,” or man­age the sit­u­a­tion. Time to let go a lit­tle.

These attempts to find “the per­fect per­son” lead to uncrys­tal­lized desires (too many good options–a choice must be made) and a strong fear of being out of align­ment with some­one. A dat­ing app can only tell you so much.

But The Sun in its posi­tion of near future or high­er guid­ance, and The World in the future posi­tion real­ly cinched it that this was going to be a good thing for the quer­ent. Whether it was love in the form of exact­ly the roman­tic human part­ner they craved might not be the case. The cards have a way of being true, but not always exact­ly what one expects. But in any case, it’s hard to ignore how pos­i­tive those two cards are and that they’re each in some sort of over­ar­ch­ing or future posi­tion. The Sun is basi­cal­ly over­whelm­ing suc­cess and pos­i­tiv­i­ty, and The World the cathar­tic and suc­cess­ful end of a cycle and the begin­ning of a new, pos­i­tive one. Both great por­tents for find­ing some­one(?) and mov­ing into the next phase of life.

Update: Between giv­ing the quer­ent the results of their read­ing and this pub­lish­ing, the quer­ent approached some­one they were in a friend­ship with (they nev­er real­ly get involved with ANYONE they weren’t friends with first, so that part tracked for them) and hit off an amaz­ing rela­tion­ship that is now at four months.
