Future Tarot     -     Tarot Chat: Wednesday 9.30pm EST

Ed has faced some hard times in life and love, which manifest in his current state of mind. He views the woman of his dreams as unattainable. Our 6-card L-for-Love spread shares special insight on how Ed may change his future experience in love.

Ed requests a 6-card L-for-Love spread and asks: Will I get who I am pursuing?

Your Past Experience in Love – The Five of Rods – The Five of Rods shows some struggles in your past relationships. Your intense desire to be right at all costs and remain in control, combined with a strong woman, led the relationship down a path where it could simply not be sustained. Are you bringing these habits into your future with you, where they may not serve new or upcoming romantic relationships either? The card also indicates an emphasis on the physical in a relationship rather than the spiritual or a desire to find a life partner.

Serenity Bly adds: Wands equal fires of passion, inspiration, etc. It’s physical lusts and instant gratification, like the Devil.

Your Current Romantic State – The Tower – The Major Arcana the Tower represents a breaking down of walls. You want to – and would be best served – to destroy the demons of the past, change bad habits into positive attitudes, before moving forward in a relationship. Miss Michele gets the impression you feel as if great significance hinges on this woman you are pursuing right now. You know you must change in order to win her, but you’re not sure how to break those bad habits.

What You Want From Love – Seven of Cups - Right now, you feel as if what you want from love is-unattainable, as signified by the Daydream card, the Seven of Cups. You’re seeking the fairy tale romance, and the woman you asked about is your unicorn – ever elusive, but beautiful. You fear you’re not pure enough to win her.

What You NEED From Love – Queen of Swords - This card showed up in this spread as the woman you are pursuing. Clearly, your desire for her is so strong she’s showing up singularly as what you believe you need from a love relationship. However, she’s closed herself off to you romantically. Her sword is sharp and you fear she’ll use it if you get too close. In fact, though, the opposite of love is not hate, it’s apathy… and that’s what she’s offering you right now.

Serenity Bly adds: She’s a dominant force and he’s very certain he can’t catch her eye at this point. She’s focused elsewhere and ‘above’ him.

Why You Deserve Love – Two of Swords – Everyone deserves love and is worthy of all the good the Universe has to offer. It’s as simple as that, Ed. However, this card, with its blindfolded maiden, shows you are closing your eyes to what you have to offer in a relationship. Arms crossed in a protective stance, the person on the card in the Hanson-Roberts deck rebuffs advances. She feels she doesn’t deserve them because she’s too focused on protecting what she has.

Could you be protecting your pride, way of living, and even all your habits by pushing away love even as you yearn for it? Have you set your sights on a woman you feel is unattainable in order to avoid a true love relationship?

Your Romantic Future – Your Action Plan – The Emperor - Miss Michele leaves this one to Serenity Bly with her concise and accurate interpretation of the spread as a whole and the Emperor in particular.

Serenity says: The swords and the Emperor tie together. He’s fighting against her nature in his attempt to ‘capture’ her, his Unicorn. She really is out of reach and he might want to be the Emperor but I think he’ll find that attempting to lord over and above her instead of letting her take the lead will create more conflict.

Miss Michele adds: Remember, your future is not set… you create it. The act of requesting this tarot reading provides insight and knowledge you didn’t have before. Work on those “demons” in your past, seek equal footing with the woman you desire, and remember that you deserve love, and the future can manifest into something completely new – and better! Please come back and tell us how you’ve used this knowledge to make positive changes and build a loving and fulfilling relationship.
