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.
Future-Tarot reader Hannah wants to know: “How is my current relationship going to turn out?”
Overview: Miss Michele is happy to report good news for Hannah. The reading reveals a new relationship that is going to turn into a significant endeavor. Hannah and her partner complement each other in a variety of ways. Things move rapidly, as evidenced by the two Wands in this reading, while three Major Arcana show great significance in the relationship. In fact, the possible final outcome, the Three of Rods, may well indicate a marriage or other significant commitment.
I am also sensing, from the last two cards in this spread, that there is debate about a possible move. Hannah might be ready for the change that a new setting will provide; even if it doesn’t quite add up to the best decision on paper, it may be worth it to go for it – and the outcome if she moves should be better than a long-distance relationship or a break-up.
Past experience in love: The Magician: Hannah actually had pretty good luck with love in the past. The Magician shows that she was able to use all her talents to create the experience she wanted. These relationships didn’t work out simply because they weren’t “meant to be” but AH is taking what she learned from them to make future relationships stronger.
Current experience in love: The Sun: This Major Arcana shows the start of a very good, albeit young, love. However, this is not a relationship of blind lust; it is well thought-out, with an emphasis on analysis. This is supported by the Magician in this spread. Hannah, you are a smart woman and are applying what you know to this relationship.
What you want from a love relationship: Six of Wands: Be aware, however, of overthinking the relationship or over-analyzing it. Let go and enjoy! You want someone strong and capable of fighting by your side in any battle. Together, you are an unbeatable force. The Six of Wands, the Victory card, shows just how much you want this relationship to succeed; and it seems to be doing just that. It feels as if things couldn’t get better. I get the sense, however, simply by your asking this question, that you are waiting for the other shoe to drop. And, true, the Six of Wands can indicate “success for now” but all the other cards support the assertion that this relationship is meant to last.
What is hidden, what you want but don’t realize it: The Fool: You need someone to counter your maturity and your analytical mind. Sometimes, you are too thoughtful for your own good, and you seek a bit of spontaneity. Is your current partner the type to whisk you away for a weekend jaunt with just the clothes on your back and a change of (racy) underwear? That’s what you need. While it’s an oxymoron to try to “plan” spontaneity, you can work at it. Talking it out is never a problem for you, so tell him exactly what you’d like him to do; send him the link to that base-jumping vacation or, if that’s a bit too extreme for you, suggest a weekend in the country: no shirt, no shoes, no cell phone.
What you have to give your lover: Knight of Swords: Miss Michele is not at all surprised to see a Sword representing your strength in love, or what you have to offer a lover. After all, Swords are the cards of sharp intellect and you have that—if you’ll pardon the pun—in spades! However, the Knight of Swords is the court card who is always ready for a fight. You will challenge your lover to be a better man for you. Don’t be ready to call it quits on him if he doesn’t comply right away, however. There is a future here. Hang in there.
Possible future experience in love: Three of Wands: The Three of Rods indicates a possible journey—figurative or literal. It also often signifies a marriage proposal, and this change in “status” is supported by the Knight of Swords. Stay focused, communicate and don’t be afraid to move forward in this relationship.
TJWriter wants to know:
Should I take the leap to pursue the career path my heart desires?
Without looking at the tarot, Miss Michele can answer this question: Yes. Always pursue your heart’s desires.
For greater insight into the situation, and awareness of some of the challenges TJWriter may face in trying to achieve her dreams, Miss Michele relied on the six-card, simplified Celtic Cross Spread.
A lot of cups in this reading reveals what the wording of the question also tells us: TJWriter relies on emotions.
Her experience to date is shown by the Five of Swords. TJWriter may have been subjected to humiliation, ridicule or deceit in the recent past. She emerged victorious, but did not feel good about the “win.” She was succesful but unfulfilled, so TJWriter began to dream about a different life path.
Putting the past behind her, she has found a support network in her family and friends, as exemplified by the Ten of Pentacles. The emphasis, however, is on major life transitions. A commitment to stay home with children or perhaps just spend more time with loved ones? Family figures prominently.
The near future shows a Major Arcana, the Empress. There’s a lot of emphasis on femininity, caregiving, and the realm of emotions in this reading. The Empress shows still more family commitment and may indicate a birth on the horizon. It also could indicate the start of a new business, especially if that business is related to caregiving or creativity. (The birth of a book?) TJWriter is moving from one stage to another.
TJWriter in the environment of the future is shown by the Ace of Cups. More new beginnings! Follow your heart wherever it leads, TJWriter. You are at your best and most successful when you are following your motherly instincts, your heart and emotions.
Once again, the card indicates pregnancy or birth of a new creative venture. Since you asked about a career path, Miss Michele is inclined to say that the “birth” is figurative only… a new book or other creative venture. This is more than just a new client, however… this is a long-term commitment that can change your life! However, Miss Michele would advise you not to ignore your nurturing side… whatever creative venture you attempt, you’ll find success AND fulfillment helping others!
Now is also a good time to remind TJWriter that the future is not set in stone… these cards show only the most probably outcome if you continue on the current path.
With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on to Card 5, the best outcome you can hope for. The Nine of Wands says that, once again, you will be in a position of having to defend yourself and your beliefs. You’ll be faced with one last obstacle before victory (and victory will come!) Don’t be afraid to demand what’s yours. Most importantly, don’t change your course of action; the end of the race is near and you will emerge the winner.
Finally, the Outcome, the Ten of Cups. There are few cards in the deck better than this one, which symbolizes joy and harmony, especially in the realm of family life. You’re going to have the success you want in your career, which will give you the opportunity to focus on your family. Good relationships–business and personal–are on the horizon.
What a positive reading, it makes Miss Michele feel all warm and fuzzy (oh, wait, that’s the cat…sigh)
