Tarot by HH
Because we each filter the tarot through our own experiences, our own understand, our own points of view, our understanding and interpretation of each card and its myriad meanings will be different
As always my comments are not meant to change your interpretations of your cards, nor are they meant to be critiques of your interpretation, rather they are comparison
I used the Rider-Waite-Smith deck… Celtic Cross spread I used: 1
cover: influences, general amtosphere: 2 cups
indicates great love (Well, I did ask about that!) [/quote] Or an indication that communications are at the heart of every relationship
2
crossing: negative or positive opposing forces:
Queen Pent
must be me
I hope I'm a positive force but then I may not be aware of any subtle negative forces
She's nurturing and practical and concerned for others
Sounds like me
[/quote] This Queen frequently delivers the message of the importance of being aware of one’s limitations 3
foundation: past basis :
7 Wands
triumphs in the past, succeeded against opposition[/quote] Following the Queen of Pentacles I would tend to see this card as an indication that there may be a tendency to be unsure of the stance you have taken…a need to develop confidence in your ability to communicate effectively with family members
4
behind you: passing influences : King Pent
could he be the man who gave up our great relationship 2 months ago when he got scared of the committment he thought he wanted but got cold feel, but said "its not over til I give back your toothbrush" ?? Geez and they say women don't know what they want
Hah! He's in the behind you position so I guess he's going, going, gone
[/quote] Or is this King in this position a reminder that friendship:- is the true basis of lasting relationships of every stripe? Without the attributes of friendship, and all that implies, sensuality is fleeting? 5
crowning: forces taking shape; possible future events : 8 Pentacles
learning, education, new experiences? Not sure how it fits
except to learn something from past relationships?[/quote] I would interpret this card in this position as relating directly back to the first card in your spread: the message? To expand you ability to communicate effectively
6
before you: forces already in motion: 7 Pentacles
be patient during this seemingly slow period, growth is occurring[/quote] Or maybe the message is to be quiescent while you reach for the expansion of the 8-Pentacle… 7
feelings: apprehensions, fears :
7 Cups
decide what it is I really want?[/quote] In this position I would be inclined to interpret this card as being about imagination (look to the 2-Cups…what imaginary fear do you harbor about communication?) 8
opinions: what others think about the matter : Ace Swords
new period of activity
not sure how this fits with position of "what others think"
unless others want me to shut off my computer and get out and be social?[/quote] In my system Swords are associated with the intellect, being able to formulate ideas and [b]communicate[/b] them effectively…perhaps this Ace is an indication that others would like you to communicate… 9
hopes: aspirations, goals, dreams, desires ; 9
Knight of Pent
loyal, stable, true, hardworking, prosperous
are these qualities I'm seeking in a relationship? [/quote] Or, rather, is this Knight you, and delivering the message that it is necessary to have a game plan in order to play the game? Sit still (7-Pentacles) and survey what it is you want, what you desire, and decide how you are going to get it… 10
outcome: resolution or final outcome : High Priestess
having faith in our intuition
look deep within for answers
Follow your intuition?? [/quote] Or is the HP presenting you with a riddle? That the answer to your question about relationships will be answered when you turn inward, distant yourself from the search for a relationship with another and come to know yourself? The greatest relationship we can have is with ourselves
We cannot communicate effectively and honestly with others until we can first communicate effectively with ourselves…
It's in the cards! HH
