Tarot Reading for Wednesday 2/24/16

Here is another reading, this time from the 'Gilded Tarot' by Ciro Marcheti. I hope it is alright to post this here.

Anyhow, I am pulling a basic 3 card reading in order to get into the swing of things here. I always seem to pull an extra card for the capper of the reading, or the overall theme of the reading.

The first card is the king of wands. 

The king of wands is sitting there, enjoying the day while contemplating all the past things in his life that may have been difficult to deal with. There is a lot of family issues he seems to be thinking of. 

All sorts of past mistakes are on his mind, all the things he went after that did not work or that were troublesome in a lot of ways seem to be affecting him. He has power and dreams of the future, especially the possibility of building a family. This guy is all about family and home life. 

The second card is ten of pentacles in reverse. This card is usually a signifier of lots of abundance. In reverse position, I get the sense that there appears to be a blockage in finances, but that there is really more that you have than you are letting on. 

You may not know or realize just how much you have. I get the feeling of being a bit "spoiled" in thinking that what you have is not enough or thinking that you will "never  have enough to do what you want." Realize that this is more of an illusion you are dealing rather than actuality. Remember that if you have a house over your head and proper heating/cooling and enough food to eat etc, you are better off than a lot of other people who may have none of that. It sounds like I may be acting like  a parent, but there really is a deeper kind of compassion that I am talking about. 

Others may have it worse than you may know so be appreciative of 

the small things you already have in order to bring more of the bigger things that you want.  Also think of donating or clearing out some of the clutter that hangs around. This may help you to appreciate the fact that you have more than you need. 

The third card is the four of cups. I get the sense of dreaming for the future, longing for something better where you do not have to do as much work, but the feeling I get is that you already don't have to do that much work. It's like you know how much better life can be because of something you read or watched and you know you are applying all the techniques you know of to acquire more of what you want, but you haven't seen all that you have  already created and all that you already have had for a while. 

Dreaming of the future is good, but if it puts a hold on making things happen that you want to make happen, it can actually be a barricade for creating what you truly want. Realize that you have to put 

some work and effort into life to get things rolling. You can't just sit there and hope that money will show up. Sometimes life requires an effort. 

Let's see what is capping the whole reading together. 

It is the five of wands. Here we see a struggle and fight between five people. Everyone wants their own way and their own solution. I feel that what has been blocking you financially may be coming 

form others around you who are more strong willed than you or who voice themselves way more loudly than you tend to do. That is probably why you are not feeling like

 you have enough. People around you are, or have been in the past, making a lot of drama for you. I do feel that this is ending for you and that you are moving past issues with other people. Let's pull some  more cards  to clarify  what else  may be blocking you. 

I pulled the queen of swords and the emperor and the wheel of fortune was on the bottom of the deck. From this, I feel an overwhelming sense of negative parental figures in your life. Perhaps you blamed your parents for all of your problems in the past. The wheel of fortune tells that all of that time from youth or from blaming others has led you to where you are now and you are having to sort through all of the karma from the past.

 It feels like you are dreaming of something better to get away from any parental figure issues and this has blocked some of the flow of finances to you.  From here on out, you have to heal from the past and overcome any past conditioning or conditions from the past in order to move past any current blockages.

 This is the thing that has really been a detractor from you for the longest time and now you are having to grow up and move onto a life of your own away from any difficult people or situations. I know it can be trying to try to overcome issues that seem to have lasted your whole life and even more, but it is something that we all have to do at some point. 

Past karma and regrets can eat away at you and block you from really having what you want and 

need. Now is the time to release any unforgiveness towards yourself or  others. That is the main issue for now. Once you release and clear all the negativity related to family members or friends you will be able to have all the abundance you want and need rather than only dreaming for something better. 

I feel like someone can help you with this, but they have not made themselves known just yet. In the meantime,  the quickest way to bring help is to do some clearing and releasing of your own. Again, I get the feeling that donating or selling or just clearing or getting rid of things that no longer suit you will help you to clear away the things that are really bothering you. You never know how much an item or thing from  the past can take away from your good mood or energy. If it sits around for you  to see and look at all the time, it can be a reminder of a past you no  longer want or need. 

I hope this has helped in some way. It did for me. 

Thanks,

Tim Edwin. 

Intuitive Reading for the Week of 2/22/16

This is my first reading for this site, but not my first time giving readings. I hope to make this a regular and routine place to give intuitive readings. I am starting this on a Saturday. Perhaps it will be once a week, every Saturday, and perhaps several times a week. I am not really sure what to expect with this, but I thought it would be fun to try for a while.

I am pulling 3 cards from the "Radiant Rider Waite Tarot deck" by U.S. Games Systems. I hope to get some readings with my own self made oracles/tarot decks at some point. For now, I will stick with the most universal form of divination.

The first card is the "ten of swords" with the "five of pentacles" as a capper. Right away, I hear, "The end of a difficult situation." It seems as if all the troubles and hardships from the past are ending and though you may be tired and frustrated and feeling broke and poor, the worst is behind you and I actually feel a lot of abundance coming to you. You may have felt like a lesser class person, but they are saying "truthfully in light, you are all living beings full of joy and promise no matter what life's circumstances may be telling you". 

The second card is "five of wands" and this looks as if there has been a big negative problem that has to be overcome, but I still feel this is in the past. It seems like there has been a lot of arguments in the past that led to where you are now. You may still be feeling the brunt of that, but again, it seems like it is the end of that difficult situation. It feels as if all the fighting has stopped after a long time of arguing or butting heads against the others around you. It seems like defeat in a way, but you have already been through so much of it, that you can't tell what the end of arguments looks like. I really feel the sense that a lot of people are gathering around you to help you overcome hardships and while it may look like too much going on, or too much to handle, there is support for you. It feels like arguing for other people is sort of how you "relate" to those around you. So, while it may look like a difficult trying situation with no love to outsiders, really there is a core of love and support that all too often is overlooked and even over-analyzed by you.

The final card here is "The Emperor". It feels like stubbornness from someone other than you, or perhaps yourself too. It looks like you are the one who is moving past all the difficult cards here and someone else may be causing a blockage in terms of their interactions with you. It feels like someone else really feels like the one to blame for a lot of your trials and tribulations. There has been a lot of money issues and someone who you interact with daily is being stubborn about their position in terms of not wanting to give or participate. This is someone who you look up to or who is a sort of authority figure (mother/father/boss/friend). You have had a lot of arguments with them in the past and now you are seeing that it was all for nothing and that this person has really been ugly to you and those around you, but I feel as if you are seeing past all of that and moving forward in your own way. You are seeing past any miscommunications and misunderstandings and having to deal with forgiveness for others while still triumphing over arguments and difficult situations. 

Truly this is the end of a difficult situation, but it has been going on for such a long time that you don't seem to notice that the end is here for you. No longer are you arguing- as has become the norm for you- and no longer are you being deceived by others. You are seeing the truth of the situation and realizing that what didn't work, doesn't work still and you are moving beyond whatever had been blocking you. 

The emperor sits on his throne and looks intimidating, and he/she can be, but now you know that that is what he/she truly is, and it is not going to work anymore. You've seen the fighting and arguing and the misunderstanding that now you know- this other person is never going to give me what I want and I must step away. Just knowing that only difficulties will come from this situation is what will set you on your path to victory and recovery. Because I do feel a lot of recovery for you or someone else, and I am hearing "don't be surprised if this other person wants to go into recovery for you, but don't allow it to overtake you too. This has been going on a long time for this other person too, you just don't see all that goes on underneath the situation." There is a lot you don't see that this other person deals with and there is a lot you might take for granted, but don't be surprised if the difficult person/situation also wants to move on and be happy just as you do.  

That is the reading for today. I hope it has helped you in some way. I do feel agreements and arguments coming to a close in a favorable way for you. Maybe this someone who has been having difficulties with you will reach out to apologize or offer a gift of support to "make up" for the past. Maybe you and this other person will come to terms on a longstanding issue for you and your family. This may or may not occur, but it is a possibility that you are looking forward to. 

Have a good week and realize that difficulties are ending and agreements are being reached.

Thanks,
