Rebecca Lafar-Smith asks:
I’m currently in a long distance relationship that has become rather chill over the last months. We still love each other dearly but plans keep getting set back for an actual in person meeting. The distance can be heartbreaking and sometimes it is easier to buffer our emotions by getting on with our local lives rather than spending time together but so far apart.
We’ve known each other a number of years (9) and have been ‘dating’ since February but I’m anxious about where things are going. At the moment the current plan/hope is that he will come here in March. Is this likely to happen or will further setbacks create greater distance between us?
In the past, the Tarot brings us the Four of Wads.
Typically symbolic of a marraige or romantic celebration, this card signifies the foundation of a strong relationship. This shows the happiness and love that was previously so strong in your relationship. You were content with the status quo, until the distance got to be too much. You wish you could go back to that past, happier time, when the distance wasn’t so much of a strain and the hope of an in-person meeting was strong, but, alas, you must move forward now.
The Present and the heart of the matter shows the propitious Lovers major arcana. Don’t despair–your love, and his, remain strong. The Lovers represents the ability to transcend difficulties, but also the frustration you feel about this separation.
The Lovers also represent a short trip and romantic meeting. The past year has been a test of your love, but you will prevail!
The Outcome shows that happy, young-at-heart Page of Cups. This marks the beginning of a new phase in your relationship… and a good one! He will be as taken with your children as he is with you. There is an emphasis on family. The trip will happen and, not only that, it will prove to be worth the wait: all you’ve wanted and more.
During the course of this reading, another card was “pulling” at Miss Michele. She pulled it out as a Clarification Card, and it only supports the other three in this reading. The King of Wands further emphasizes that your love is a family man, but also has an intense sexual and sensual side to him. You can expect quite a romantic adventure when that visit happens!
Rods show thought in its final stages, ready to transform to action, so this supports the Four of Rods and further emphasizes that this visit will take place as planned–and possibly even sooner! Things tend to move quickly when Wands show up. Hang in there and prepare yourself for a whirlwind romantic adventure that will grow into a strong and steady permanent relationship.

This is my first visit to your blog and I love it! I’ve visited quite a few lately and I must say yours is unique. I’m already thinking of a future question.
*blushes* Thank you so much! It certainly has been a test and you’re exactly right about how intense it was in the earlier months. I’m trying to be patient and let the world come into order around us so situations are right but as a Gemini I can be flighty and impatient so it has been a long wait.
I’ll continue to look forward to March with more confidence. I’ve tried not to get my hopes up in fear of another disappointment (our plan to meet in September got pushed back). I might have to share this reading with him because it has certainly put a wonderful smile on my face and will on his too.
Thank you!
Rebecca,
Thank you. I hope I didn’t embarrass you with that last card or get too personal.
It was a *very* positive reading and the LOVE was evident from the first, and supported by every card thereafter.
I wish you both the best of luck in your future together.
Melanie,
Thanks so much for the kind words! Please ask away!
Hi, I’d love a reading! I’m a little lost as to what path I should take next on my career. 2007 was a really good year for me: I consistently made an income from my writing, broke into a series of good markets, landed a few ongoing clients… This sounds all nice and good, but still feels like no major breakthrough. If I sit back and think about it, I don’t feel any more successful than I did two years ago. Should I change my writing focus in 2008? In what way? Should I work harder on what I’m doing right now or should I focus on something else (for example, working on books rather than freelancing only)? Where exactly is that major breakthrough in my career and how can I get there?
Thanks so much for doing this!
Sarah
