Relationship Spread

The Relationship Spread
(from Power Tarot)



Relationship Reading: Adam & I
  1. Five of Wands: You're competing with one or even several others who covet the same person who interests you. If you're committed, your significant other may be having an affair. You feel your work or that of your lover competes for the time you would rather spend with each other. [The work part is spot on, Adam is always working, and I've commented that his work is his "wife", and I'm his "mistress".]
  2. Eight of Pentacles: Pay attention to the small considerations which enhance a relationship. In an ongoing relationship, new experiences open up that deepen your bond with your partner.
  3. Ace of Swords: Emotional extremes are indicated. A sudden romance or an intense sexual encounter may take you by surprise. Or a previously warm relationship may suddenly turn cold. You're ready to cut the ties that bind if you feel your freedom threatened. [I do want passion in all my relationships -- it's the most important thing for me.]
  4. Four of Cups: Dissatisfaction, disillusion, or hurt feelings spell trouble in an ongoing relationship. Take time to focus specifically on what's bothering you and try to talk about it with your significant other.
  5. The Star: Promising encounters loom on the horizon, someone special sails into your life, synchronicities run rampant. You provide or receive guidance about a relationship. You and your significant other renew your commitment to the relationship. What you thought was impossible now becomes possible.
  6. The World: You'll find what you were looking for in a romantic partnership. You may realize you've had it all the time. Travel proves beneficial to an existing relationship or brings someone new and exciting into your life.
  7. Ten of Swords: Someone you love has hurt you very badly and you're having trouble putting it behind you. You've made a mistake, taken a chance on love and lost. There's no choice now but to abandon the relationship and start over. The sooner you accept the fact that it's over, the easier it will be to get on with your life.
  8. Page of Wands: A phone call or e-mail you've been hoping for arrives. A new relationship sails into your life and it's just the kind of partnership you've been hoping for -- fun, exciting, fulfilling. You and your significant other share common interests in books and theater, spiritual topics, and may even work together.
  9. Seven of Pentacles: You review and reevaluate your close personal relationships. The process itself is just as important as the conclusions you reach.

The Hierophant (V)


Card of the Day:
The Hierophant (V)

Description: Organizations, groups and structures and represented by this card.: religion, family, and corporate America. It's about tradition, ritual, the established way of doing things. It is yang, masculine. Its astrological association is Jupite, which in astrology rules the ninth house of higher education, organized religion, and theological leaders.

In a reading: You come up against the powers that be - whether religious, corporate, or family. This clash of belief systems helps you clarify your own position. A counselor, pastor, teacher, or parent offers orthodox advice or guidance that drives you nuts. Ultimately, you make your own decision and find a way to incorporate your ideas into the existing structure.

Cosmic Daily

Rub the sleep out of your eyes upon awakening and avoid starting your workweek with a sense of confusion or frustration. Last night's Venus-Pluto adversarial dust-up may be still weighing upon you and wreaking some havoc on the love front. In addition, a Mercury-Neptune 45-degree contact (3:31AM EST) doesn't exactly make you want to sing a happen tune in the morning hours. However, you may be able to tweak that energy-field and utilize the positive vibes of Taurus Moon to reinforce your self-confidence as a business entrepreneur, artist, musician or hobbyist.

Gardening and Mother Nature draw you like a magnet today and tomorrow as the lunar orb graces the first earth sign of the zodiac. Keep an eye out for one of the faults of excessive Taurus - obstinacy. Refusing to accept the truth and holding on to the past can jeopardize your forward progress. This is especially important as Venus forms an awkward, 150-degree link to Saturn (8:51PM EST) just as the Sun connects to Ceres in a frictional 45-degree aspect (8:52PM EST).

These two alignments striking virtually simultaneously can knock you off course. Making crucial proposals to a loved one is not advised. Patience is very much a cardinal virtue for the time being concerning romantic bonds. Strive to remain productive in your main areas of expertise. Don't be surprised if you turn to science, mathematics and philosophy for answers in the latter part of the evening since the Moon approaches a supportive, 60-degree tie to innovative Uranus (5:56AM EST tomorrow) and nears a harmonious trine to expansive Jupiter (6:49AM EST tomorrow).
