Future Tarot

[Serenity Bly] Jacqi, got a question?

[Jacqi] Hm… a few. Let’s go with… Seriousness and time frame on Smallville moving to IL

[Serenity Bly] *chuckles* I take it white shirt coffee guy is going well.

[Jacqi] Very, our visit last weekend went wonderfully. He is coming back this weekend with his oldest.

[Serenity Bly] I don’t do time frames but Miss Michele might be willing to draw a card or two to clarify on a sense of time. But the biggest impression I get is SOMEONE (feels like you) is keeping secrets.

[Miss Michelle] EEK! The visit happened? so awesome! what were the cards?

[Serenity Bly] And I’m not sure where that impression comes from because the cards really don’t seem to point to that. In the past we have Strength (reversed). Present = Eight of Cups (reversed) and future King of Pentacles.

[Miss Michelle] 8 cups is a deception card

[Jacqi] Well, I can’t tell him about the bodies in the basement YET.

[Serenity Bly] It is? I always see it as the “wimp” card. Running away from things because you’re not ready to face the hard parts.

[MoonlitKim] could be the Strength reversed; she may not have shown him her ‘weaker’ side, more vulnerable side yet.

[Miss Michelle] The six of pentacles tells me you are the one biding your time

[Serenity Bly] In this case, the reversal is running toward something because you’re afraid of facing the hard parts. So you might be pushing for things to move faster than you’re really ready for.

[Jacqi] Oh, that’s actually on par. Ok, go on.

[Miss Michelle] also J, you are very strong. You fear he may diminish that strength if you let him so you’re holding back

[Serenity Bly] In the past this Strength reversed makes me feel like you’ve been easy to rile, you’ve been eager to do battle for even the little things because you’re powerful, and strong, when you’re on your ground.

[Jacqi] I have had to be both mom/dad/everything for such a long time I’m used to it. Knowing what he wants, and what that means… albeit a wonderful thought, is also very scary. Giving up control and letting someone help with things.

[Serenity Bly] When you’re calling the shots it feels “safe” so giving up that sense of security, giving up your ground a little to someone else feels “dangerous” “scary” And I can relate, because that’s me too. So let me know if I’m off base and reading too much of me into it.

[Jacqi] Nope not at all. Right on track. Ask jen G. Lol

[Miss Michelle] That’s exactly the sense I’m getting too Jacqi

[Jacqi] It’s like I’ve wanted “this” for a long time and even though that the case, now that the potential is here… I’m kind of like… That’s wicked scary!

[Miss Michelle] However, in terms of time, Pentacles = spring and 6 = June

[Serenity Bly] The Eight of Cups is a clear “WANT” for things to work out and you’re pushing for it, very, very quickly. Be careful you don’t trip over your skirts in your haste.

[Miss Michelle] So soon

[Serenity Bly] Slow down; enjoy the moment a little longer. But the future King of Pentacles is a good omen. He’s very sure of himself and his course in life and he IS coming, when he’s ready.

[Miss Michelle] Also June is approx 6 wks away so I’m pretty clear on timing

[Jacqi] He has some things to take care of there, kids and all. Wait. June? June what?

[Serenity Bly] He’s going to be concerned with making sure he does things right and that he builds on a firm foundation. He’s not about to walk away from all he has but when he comes it’ll be a big change and permanent. The image that comes to mind is like the shifting of tectonic plates. *chuckles*

[Miss Michelle] LOL Jacqi–it will be fine–the faster you let go of a bit of control, the faster it will happen.

[Jacqi] Right? Moving a state away… it’s almost surreal if you think about it.

[Serenity Bly] This just goes to show that “ACE” really is the name for him.

[Jacqi] Oh… *blink*… it is.

[Serenity Bly] But literally, him moving is like moving a mountain. it’s a BIG thing for him to do and when he does it, it stays moved.

[Miss Michelle] I thought you wanted timing of when the relationship will become really serious.

[Serenity Bly] So, it’s a good idea to make sure you’re very ready before pushing ahead for more.

[Jacqi] Oh… Ok, I’m with you now MM.

[Miss Michelle] and now hearing him moving–sounds about right!

[Jacqi] Yeah, I don’t think he’d be moving or even thinking about it seriously for a bit… he has a LOT to hash out legally with his youngest… so… there’s that.

[Miss Michelle] June could be when it gets set into motion. It’s rare I’m so certain on the time, but it all adds up.

[Jacqi] That seems doable, all things considered. I wish we knew what was going on w the baby… he already has custody of his daughter; it’s the baby that would hold things up.

[Miss Michelle] how sad!

[Jacqi] He wouldn’t and I wouldn’t expect him to move w/o his son.

[Serenity Bly] Jacqi, this King of Pentacles shows him needing to get things together in order for it to happen. But I get the impression that when he wants to make something happen, it happens. That is a very good influence to have in your life. Not many men are like that. So enjoy it.

[Jacqi] It seems so SB, he’s been the most straight forward… to the point fella I’ve ever been around. He’s all… I’m going to go home and do X, Y, and Z… and yeah… he did. I was impressed

[Miss Michelle] he’s safe to share yourself with Jacqi

[Jacqi] Aw. You girls are awesome.

[Serenity Bly] Whatever happens, it falls into his hands Jacqi. He’s literally HOLDING it all when he comes. So I expect whatever is going on with the baby he’ll bring the boy with him when he moves.

[Jacqi] You all answer questions my brain doesn’t want to admit to having. Oh thank god. Baby boy needs to be away from his crazy mom. She’s loony tunes. If things shape up like I’d like them to, that would make me very happy. (:

[Serenity Bly] Now you, stop holding back with him. He’s “safe” for you and you don’t need to be afraid. Give up the tough, supermom act, and let yourself lean on him a little.

[Jacqi] I know… I know…. It’s hard to do, but I’m trying.

[Serenity Bly] Show him the real you, Jacqi. It won’t scare him off.

[Jacqi] I made a conscious effort when he was here… to just go with it. I will keep that in mind. *makes note to self*… let the inner J out next time. Lol She doesn’t get out much… so… d:

[Serenity Bly] But, I can very much relate. I’m still working at getting over my depression after MM’s reading yesterday said that I was going to meet a man. In my current reality that is TERRIBLE news. lol

[Miss Michelle] aw!

[Jacqi] OMG I KNOW. it’s like… I want it I want it… no no NO… omg I really don’t (but I secretly do really bad)

[Serenity Bly] So, I’ll look at your relationship with Ace and feel a little reassured that there are men out there that have it together within themselves and so, inviting a man into my life might not be too much like hell.

[Jacqi] It just…happened this way. We are both utterly miffed actually. On more than one occasion when he was here, we’d find ourselves staring at each other then break into WILD laughter and we’re all…. bwAhHAHHAHAhh FARMVILLE…. wtf?! It’s just SO odd how we met online LOL. But hey… is good. Is really good.

[Serenity Bly] Well, don’t blame me when you’re arguing over wedding invitations someday in the future.

[Jacqi] If that’s the case, I fully expect you and Miss Michele to be maids of honor. Wedding colors… Peacock. Ready yourself ladies.

[Serenity Bly] He’ll be going, “Cream? This is all your psychic friends fault. She was all guys drinking coffee in a white shirt….”

[Jacqi] Why thank you, guys. That was a good reading. I will keep all that in mind for this weekend. (: Heh, I’m almost more nervous about meeting his daughter than I was to meet him.

[Serenity Bly] How old is she? And odds are she’ll be harder to win over than him.

[Jacqi] She’s 8

Cindy asks, “I just recently started a relationship with a new man. What is the significance of this relationship? I’m looking for whatever guidance or insight they want to share. Thanks so much for your help!”

1. Your Present Self – Eight of Cups

You’ve had your share of heartbreaks and love gone wrong. You’ve learned to walk away from pain and sorrow. You’ve developed relationships that grew, for a time, and ended. I get the impression you’re not long out of a deeply emotional relationship and you are still carrying the wounds of that relationship within your heart.

2. The Crossing Card – The Lovers (reversed)

The way your heart it still tied to your past love is also reflected in The Lovers (reversed) as a crossing card. Often, The Lovers represent choice and in this case I feel like you’re doubting your past choices. A part of you reserves your heart because you’re yearning for an old love and feel like your choices are no longer yours to make.

3. The Crowning Card – Three of Cups

The Three of Cups shows clearly this new union. It’s a fond partnership that has the potential to be loving and giving. This new person in your life cares for you but also senses your reserve. He’ll champion for you, and your friends support your union, but you’re still not totally committed within yourself.

4. Aspects You Cannot See – Seven of Swords

Unfortunately, this could mean that your current love interest is shoring up his own defenses and preparing to walk away. He can sense your hesitation and is contemplating his own choices.

5. Influences That Are Ending – Page of Cups

In the past you’ve spent a lot of time reflecting on your own situation. You might have come across to others as being a little self-centered and insensitive but you’ve needed to discover your personal worth and that is one of the things the Page of Wands does best.

6. Influences That Are Beginning – Ten of Wands (reversed)

After spending time in introspection you’re beginning to feel caged and dominated. A part of me feels like your current love interest may be a domineering force but I also get the impression that much of your caged sensation comes from within your own thoughts. You’ve been very hard on yourself and unless you consciously take action to let go of dis-empowering thoughts you’ll continue to create obstacles to your own happiness.

7. Attitudes You Need To Change – Knight of Wands (reversed)

One of the obstacles that come from within is a strange sense of reserve. I’m literally getting a “jolting” sensation, stop, start, stop, start, stop. Like every time you let yourself go and live a little you catch yourself and slam on the breaks. The Knight of Wands needs to be free to chase, free to dream, free to charge forward with his inspiration and ideas. You need to embrace your inner knight and charge forward. Put aside fear or decorum and give into your passions and natural spontaneity.

8. How Others See You – Queen of Wands

You ARE a woman who is in command of her destiny. At least others see this in you. To the outside world you’ve already mastered your desires and you get what you want. You rule the animal kingdom with a core of strength and certainty. If others see this in you then it IS in you. Do you need to believe it of yourself?

9. Your Hopes and Fears – Two of Cups (reversed)

The fears that show up readily in the Two of Cups (reversed) are clearly the cause of past pain and anguish. You’ve felt abandoned and unloved in the past and you’re afraid of rejection and heartbreak. You don’t want to be alone and while you desperately hope to find a lover who can be “the one” you’re thoughts often linger on all the reasons you feel loving others is dangerous.

10. Potential Outcome – Ace of Swords (reversed)

Ultimately, going back to your original question, “What is the significance of this relationship?” the final card in this Celtic Cross Spread tells me that the answer is, “Learning to communicate.” For a very long time you’ve kept your own counsel. You’ve held your tongue instead of sharing your doubts, concerns, and pain. You’ve shown the strength of the Queen of Wands in yourself but hide your weaknesses. Doing this creates a sense of detachment and distance. Your new love interest has one foot on the threshold of your relationship, he’s not sure if he wants to leap in or leap out because he’s not getting clear signals from you.

The Ace of Swords in the final position shows a growing ability to communicate with the people in your life, to let them into your inner sanctum. Learn to let down your guard and open up to the people in your life so that you can embrace the true joy that comes with love. Heartbreak is real, yes, loving can hurt, but if you turn your back on the risk of future pain you’ll miss opportunities in the present to be very happy. Express your fears, talk about what you truly want, what your hopes and dreams for the future are, to this new love. Talking openly will strengthen the bonds of this relationship, but more importantly it will give you the tools you need to deal with all the people in your life that you care about.

This is a year Chryselle’s youthful exuberance pays off in big ways. She’ll find fortune comes her way. Her biggest challenges will be in remaining true to herself. She may encounter a man, possibly a love interest, who wants to dominate her but should never let it happen.

In the latter half of this year, people attempting to deceive Chryselle will be a recurring theme. The events of last year really shook Chryselle’s trust and faith in people. However, the more she expects people to do wrong by her, the more mistrust, she attracts into her life. Your beliefs are proven true, until you begin to change that belief system. It’s hard when those we trust betray us. But the expression of “not letting a few bad apples spoil the bunch” is very true in this case. Chryselle, don’t let these brief dark spots put a damper on your year – overall, you can look forward to fun, celebrations and good times, with little struggle (and those struggles you do have will be minor, and self-made.) Don’t be afraid to take a chance this year; it will work out for you!

January: Wheel of Fortune

The year began with a change in your fortune from 2009. You may have experienced a windfall of money, or a new, fun opportunity.

February: Eight of Swords

You are feeling trapped by circumstances, as if there’s no way out. It could be this winter weather getting to you, too many commitments that you’re not enjoying, or an overall sense of restlessness (or all three.) This card shows a woman tied up, with a blindfold over her face, surrounded by eight swords that create a sort of prison. What’s holding you back?

March: The Empress

These feelings pass with the arrival of the Empress in March… when you are learning to harness your feminine intuition, kindness and nurturing nature to create pleasant things around you. The focus is on creativity. You may have found work that is fulfilling. If you are in school, you’re taking classes that inspire you. Ideas run rampant – the key is to focus your energies. But after February’s stagnant feelings, you are moving forward.

April : King of Swords

This card represents a powerful male influence coming into your life. He may try to dominate; you’ll need to harness the inner strength of last month’s Empress to stand up against him. This is important, as, based on the cards surrounding it, this person could be a new love. I drew a clarification card, the Three of Wands, and it indicates that yes, this person is either a new love or perhaps a business partner. In either case, equality and balance are important in this relationship.

May: Page of Wands

This Page supports the fact that the new person in April could slowly grow into a love interest. You approach this new relationship with vigor and enthusiasm. This also represents continued interest in creative endeavors. You are at a great age – the enthusiasm of youth, but also with wisdom beyond your years that you are just beginning to use. You’re developing greater self-confidence this year. In 2010, I see a young woman blossoming into adulthood, becoming more certain of her abilities, and a brilliant future beginning to fall into place!

June: Four of Wands

June wedding? Maybe not for you, but it’s definitely a month of celebration. You may be a maid of honor or bridesmaid for a friend, and that suits you perfectly well at this stage of your life. You bring something special to every celebration you attend, whether it’s a wedding or just a small dinner party. You’ll look to hosting your own events this month, too. You are the consummate organizer, getting everyone together for that awesome beach trip, and packing the lunches for everyone, too!

July: The World

Your talents, abilities and creativity pays off in July. You’re enjoying the summer to its fullest, with plenty of everything – sun, friends, money, fun! This Major Arcana symbolizes the fulfillment of everything you could possibly want in life and, for the moment, that’s exactly what you have. Don’t forget to take a few moments to be grateful for it all, to absorb it in silent (or vocal) appreciation. Truly, the better it gets, the better it gets!

August: The Magician

It’s a powerful summer for you with these two Major Arcana cards in a row. Major Arcana symbolize important – often life-changing—events. Often, the Magician represents our own ability to use our special skills and talents to get what we want. The Magician is a master salesman, manipulator (in both the positive and negative sense), politician, and business success, with the creativity and intelligence to attract success. In this case, I believe you will encounter a very strong Magician type person. Just be sure this person doesn’t overpower your own strong personality or steal the spotlight. There’s more than enough for everyone; there’s no reason for you to shrink into the shadows just because someone else has come on the scene.

September: Eight of Cups

My intuition tells me September’s happenings have to do with that Magician. Remember I said the Magician is a Master Manipulator? You’re going to be getting plain old Bad Vibes about this guy. Trust your intuition. Remain on your guard and seek out positive, trustworthy people with which to spend your time.

October: The Sun

Yes, another vacation may be in the cards for you… after summer’s celebration, you have another opportunity to enjoy sun, surf and sand. Take the opportunity – there’s absolutely no reason not to! You’ll find the getaway, however short it may be, will give you a boost in creativity and a second wind to face the impending winter.

November: Two of Swords

Once again, you have to contend with factors you may not WANT to see… these people (I don’t know if there’s more than one) are still coming into your life – ones you can’t quite trust. I don’t think you’re fully rid of the Magician, or the King of Swords. You feel trapped. This card also indicates a need for balance… after all the partying, it’s time to focus on your goals.

December: Four of Swords

The holidays have you worn out, plain and simple. On top of all the partying and the drama with other people, you’re ready to simply lie down and rest. That’s a good idea. The Four of Swords tells us if we don’t take a break, it will be forced on us. Say no – to social invitations, commitments, etc. — especially if you can’t come up with a compelling reason that you want to attend! Surround yourself with peaceful, spiritual people who have your best interests at heart.

January 2011: Three of Pentacles

With the New Year (and possibly new semester) it’s time to hunker down. The emphasis is on work and learning, possible internships, and action that will help you advance on your chosen career path. You’re ready for a mentor, and you’ll find one. After all, this reading shows the Universe gives you what you want.

February 2011: Eight of Wands

This card typically indicates an amazing job offer. Things are once again moving quickly – what you learned in your Three of Pentacles time paid off. Don’t stop learning, even as you begin to profit from your skills.

Overview: Page of Swords

The Page of Swords as our year overview shows you charging full-speed ahead into everything you do. This is a great attitude to have. Most times, it works out well for you!

The Tarot would warn, throughout 2010, to be aware of those “ups-and-downs.” Things are great, then, Crash! Only, the crash isn’t really as bad as you perceive it to be when you’re in the thick of it. Take the time to count your blessings when things are going well, and you’ll encounter more blessings. You are someone other people may consider “lucky.” But there’s really no such thing as luck. You create everything you receive, because you believe you deserve it. When you let self-doubt creep in or begin to take things for granted, that’s when you experience that emotional crash.

Last week, Miss Michele and I were tied up with other things and couldn’t host our usual Future-Tarot.com Tarot Chat (10am EST Wednesdays). Deb Wunder, a Future-Tarot writer, was there and was generous enough to fill in for us. Thank you Deb! Below is the reading Deb gave Tarot Chat regular, Wendy. And stay tuned today because Miss Michele and I will be here in a short while with this weeks Tarot Chat then later tonight (11pm EST) our very own Miss Michele will be giving free readings on RadioXShow!

[Wendy] So, do you read tarot as well?

[Deb] Yes, do you want me to read for you?

[Wendy] I won’t say no, I was hoping for a reading today. I think I’d like a general future reading if that’s okay with you. My husband and I want to start looking at buying our own house if that helps give direction?

[Deb] The first card is the Ten of Cups, or in my Native American Tarot Deck the 10 Vessels, that always indicates fulfillment and happiness. Things are actually pretty good where they are now and it’s not that you don’t like where you are living, but that you are both feeling it is time to move forward.

[Wendy] Absolutely.

[Deb] I get the sense that a new house will let you complete your family and that that’s part of what this desire is about.

[Wendy] That’s interesting because children have, at times, been in our discussions but nothing is set in concrete.

[Deb] The next card is the Eight of Cups (8 Vessels) which in my deck is labeled “Indolence”. I have always seen this more as ‘contemplation’ but, in this case, I think there is an element of over-thinking things. Over-thinking leads you to miss opportunities. It is kind of like not seeing the forest for the trees. Thinking it through before moving is not necessarily a bad thing, because it is important to have all the pieces in place.

[Wendy] Wow it’s amazing that you say that. I told hubby that I feel we’re missing opportunities. That’s a very good point.

[Deb] Don’t let yourself get paralyzed by that. The last card is the Six of Wands (6 of Pipes in my deck), which is labeled “Victory”. I think you will move, even if not in the next few months, and that it will be to the place that is absolutely right for you and your husband. Your new home allows you to achieve your real goals but as with all victories, there will be a cost. I don’t think it will be too large in your case but remember that winning the war may entail losing a battle or two. Keep persevering and you will make it to the other side.

[Wendy] That makes sense. Someone we know with medium capabilities recently told us that we keep missing opportunities because we are too caught up thinking of how to do things. We miss vital clues to progress on our paths. I’m trying to think of the way she worded it, oh, find the path to least resistance. She was saying that we were being our own worst enemies.

[Wendy] Thank you, again, for taking the time to give this reading.

A year later it is wonderful to welcome back, Maisy, with another 12-Month Spread. Maisy’s husband and his strength figures *very* prominently for her this year. Her over-riding theme for the year is the King of Cups, and this is definitely Maisy’s husband; her protector, watching over her with love and kindness, but also strict when he needs to be about certain situations.

I feel like deception is a major force in Maisy’s life… I pointed this out last year, and I’m wondering, now, if it’s not self-deception in some way. The Five of Swords, Eight of Cups and The Moon all show up in this reading at different times, and they all *can* indicate deception, subterfuge or holding back the truth. (Maybe not intentional deceit, but concealing the truth.) I wonder if there’s someone in Maisy’s life who keeps returning – or even a “type” of client she keeps encountering – who is less than trustworthy? If not, it’s quite possible that Maisy has been concealing the truth from herself in a certain matter.

The Four of Pentacles, which was last year’s theme, shows himself in December, too. That’s the time of year when we should be most giving and generous, but Maisy may feel as if she does not have enough and so clings tightly to what she does have.

There’s no over-riding emphasis on any of the suites. We have two swords, three cups, two rods, one pentacle and five major arcana—another big year with lots of ups and downs, but a lot less emphasis on business and finance. Is Maisy undergoing fertility treatments? Certain cards in this spread, including the wands and swords, lead me to believe that may be the case. She has many cards showing transitions through a cycle – fours, fives, sixes and sevens. But The Magician in July shows the start of something big.

Okay, month-by-month:

June: Knight of Swords

Springtime brings the Knight of Swords, a card heralding rapid change. Maisy is jumping head-first into a project and I think that project may be what sparked her to get this tarot reading. As the flowers bloom and the Earth undergoes re-birth, Maisy is enacting change. She is not contemplating it, she is charging forward headfirst.

July: The Magician

This card, represented by the Number 1 and showing the start of a cycle, shows that Maisy’s “go for it” attitude in June has paid off. Now she is learning to use her talents to get what she wants and manipulate forces to her advantage. If this Magician indicates the decision to undergo fertility treatments, it could be successful.

August: Seven of Cups

This card, coupled with a fertility card (the Moon) in September *could* indicate a pregnancy. I’m not getting a strong feeling of that, though, and the cards nine months down the line don’t correspond. I suggest Maisy keep it in the back of her mind as a possibility. The Seven of Cups is the daydream card … the sky’s the limit for Maisy’s imagination. This card also sometimes indicates a spacey feeling, where she is in a surreal state (sometimes common in pregnancy). It could also indicate a period of planning for a business or any other aspect of life, and that’s what I am getting here. Maisy is having fun imagining all the possibilities ahead of her. Some people may call her a dreamer, but that’s okay. Let them laugh. Maisy knows what she is doing.

September: The Moon

This card indicates many things – self-deception, fertility, feminine intuition. I’ll take “door number 3” in this case. Maisy’s feminine intuition is just so strong, nothing can hold her back. It’s a good thing that Maisy’s husband, the King of Cups keeps her somewhat grounded in reality. The Moon and king together make a great partnership!

October: Six of Rods

As Autumn approaches, the Six of Rods indicates reaping your harvest. Known as the Victory card, the Six of Rods in the Hanson-Roberts deck shows a man on a horse and his younger sidekick riding off into the blazing sun, victorious, his bags full with the spoils of war. You’ve done it! Something tells me Maisy is on a spiritual voyage and this card marks a huge milestone for her in personal growth and development.

November: Wheel of Fortune

With victory comes good fortune, shown by the Major Arcana Wheel of Fortune in November. After the mid-year struggles, everything has fallen into place. Maisy, be generous with your wins.

December: Four of Pentacles

This greedy little gentleman in December, holding tight to his pentacles so no one steals them, knows plenitude but not true abundance. Abundance means having so much that you’re not afraid to let it go – you know the Universe has more to deliver your way. The Four of Pentacles often serves as a reminder, “give and you will receive; stop keeping score.” For Maisy, this could apply to money, gifts or even her time and energy. The holidays always seem stressful. Take a deep breath, act as if you have all the time in the world – and you will, Maisy!

January: Eight of Cups

This card indicates that Maisy is nearing the end of her spiritual journey, but is afraid to let it go. She has learned all she needs to in this cycle and winter 2010 is the time to reinvent herself completely. With the Eight of Cups, Maisy has learned to stop lying to herself—or purged the people from her life who have been lying to her, now it is time to move on because better things await.

February: Death

This card strongly reinforces the Eight of Cups. In fact, as the Number 8 Major Arcana, it is simply the Eight of Cups in its strongest incarnation. The Death card demands you to let go of a situation that isn’t working… step forward. Maisy must do this, to pave way for much better things. (Didn’t I say that already?) Seriously, this winter, get ready to let go – perhaps kicking and screaming – to old beliefs, people, tasks, places… whatever isn’t working for you, Maisy, get rid of it.

March: Four of Rods

The Four of Rods provides great incentive to listen to the tarot’s advice to let go. This card indicates a happy celebration. A birth. The purchase of a home. A wedding, anniversary, party.

April: Five of Swords

Miss Michele had trouble reconciling this card with the rest of the reading… earlier in the year, it would have made sense, as it represents Maisy still clinging tightly to things – material or beliefs. The only thing I can say is that she has taken a few steps forward, and now she is taking one back. This is the storm AFTER the calm, if you will. The Five of Swords may also indicate empty victory – Maisy thought she had achieved all she wanted, and now discovers there are other paths to conquer.

May: The Chariot

You’ll do it… when Maisy sets her mind to it, things will move rapidly and she will regain the spiritual and emotional ground she lost – and then some. The Chariot also indicates a much-needed journey, a change of scenery. It might indicate an actual trip, or another change of mind that puts Maisy in a different “place,” so to speak.

Again, the King of Cups as the over-riding theme is Maisy’s anchor, her sanity, in a year characterized by many emotional ups and downs and personal growth. Maisy, you will not be the same person in May 2010 as you are today, but you will like – ACCEPT – the new “you” much better.
