Theia:
I'm gong to do the horseshoe spread for you.
1. The root of the question:
The Fool (upright)
This signifies a carefree, impetuous attitude. You feel totally free from the worries of the word at the moment, and are able to act with spontenaity.
It also implies that you can do no wrong at the moment, that whatever you do will be positive, and bring good things.
Sometimes this can mean recklessness, needing to make sure you look before you leap, but in this case it's saying go for it!
It can also mean a great adventure, travelling and revelling in new things.
2. Influences surrounding you
Two of Coins / Pentacles
What looks like a good thing on the outside, to others, is proving to be a concern to you. This is to do with work / money. Having difficulty in getting something off the ground. Are you working in partnership with someone else at the mo?
If so, i'm getting the feeling that you're worried about some of their decisions, but you're unsure how to broach it with them, without causing any hassle.
Look at this situation with a clear perspective - then take steps to sort it.
3.recent past.
Four of Swords (reversed)
This means the need for a complete break from the cares of ordinary life - taking time out just for you.
It's almost like your life recently has been an ongoing battle where you've had to keep pushing yourself on, only to reach the point where you can't stand it anymore!
Has something happened that you didn't expect? It also hints at a need to go into retreat, to think things over.
4. Present
The Hierophant
This is telling me that you're being a little more reserved than you usually might be, and that you have people around you that will take you into their fold, so to speak. This can also say that you are on the right path for your destiny, and are exactly where you should be at the moment.
This can also hint at spiritual experiences, and self - realisation. Also, a need to conform! (You're not getting all sensible on us are you?)and maybe the need for others' approval, which you will soon realise you actually don't need - people love you for you.
5. The near future
The World
An achievement in the near future. All will come together, with a little effort and forward thinking. Things shift back into balance. You will have lots of options open to you - reflect carefully what you really want before choosing, although all the roads are clear and sunny!
A lossoming of your own confidence in yourself, and your capabilities.
6. Hopes / fears
Judgement
You worry what others think of your choices and actions, and even if you've made the right decisions!
You feel your efforts sometimes go unnoticed whilst others take the glory - this is telling you to put yourself forward a bit more!
Past efforts will be rewarded soon, and you could even get a nice surprise into the bargain! Start trusting yourself a bit more Theia!
7. Outcome
Page of coins
This represents a young person with great intelligence and articulate abilities. This person will be ringing you news, more than likely to do with study / learning.
This person has a wise head on their shoulders, and could be to do with learning new skills, they could turn up at work, or could be part of your family. Either way, they will bring news that will egg you on in your ambitions. Maybe something that you always wanted to study will become available to you?
Let me know if this was of relevance, and if it made sense!
That, Pinky, is an incredible reading!!!
I gave up my job a couple of months ago...not the most sensible idea, according to some because it was fairly well paid and because of my age (57). I "should" have stuck it out until pension day. But it was a decision that I knew, without question, I had to make. I now have to sell my house to release the equity to enable me to support myself. I'm unsure what my next step is but I'm waiting for it to unfold and it may well involve travel and change. Whatever the uncertainty my decision holds, I have been feeling really optimistic and enjoying my retreat, my time "away from the world." The Fool, no less.
Yes, I am "working" in partnership with someone at present and yes, it is often a little difficult.
I was told only the other day that I've become rather reclusive, yet I know that for me, at this time, that it's the right place to be.
I'm a great approval seeker and I'm working to stop looking for it (Byron Katie's book, I Need Your Love, is proving a great help in this.)
The World card came up for me at the beginnning of the year and helped to reinforce my decisions.
I most definitely need to develop confidence in my abilities (I have a dear friend on this forum who has been helping me and when he reads that bit, he will agree. It's something we've been working on together.
)The last card is fascinating...I have my ideas on who it might be but I'll keep an open mind.
Thank you, Pinky. I am feeling both encouraged and inspired.
Now, what about you? I don't usually read for anyone else, I merely give them an interpretation based on some Jungian Tarot books that I have. Also, I only use the Major Arcana. Would you like to give me three numbers between 1 and 22 and I'll do a three card interpretation...
