    Hi Troi,

    I would like to ask if my husband and I could have a child of our own in the future. Thank you!

    December 9th.

    1. Troi Post author

      Hello Apple,

      If you have read through other readings here, you’ll know I will never attempt to answer a question like yours directly. And, if you think about it, if you are suitable as parents, there is always the possibility that you will have a child one way or another. It’s your choice.

      So what I will do is draw a card to see what general energy is around you at the moment. I’m using the Universal Waite and have drawn the Four of Cups. The card depicts a young man sitting at the base of a tree. His arms are folded and he is looking down a little disconsolately. There are three gold chalices in front of him. To his right hand side another chalice is being offered to him by a disembodied hand, but he doesn’t appear to notice.

      The Four of Cups represents emotional security. However, it can also mean a sort of low-level dissatisfaction with life. This may or may not be connected to your longing for a child. I get the feeling that you see a baby as the missing piece in your life together as a couple. That you need to feel complete. As I said, I can’t tell you whether you will have a child or not, however, you must be careful not to shut out other opportunities or pathways which may be available to you. Don’t allow your focus to be concentrated on this one issue.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Two of Cups, which shows that the bond you have with your husband is very strong. It tells you to pay attention to each other and make your marriage be the most important thing to concentrate on right now. Twos can also point to a time of waiting, so just be relaxed about all this. A child will arrive when the time is right, in whatever manner the Universe deems perfect for you.

      Good luck, Apple.

      1. Apple Dominguez

        Thank you so much troi. This helps a lot. It’s good to know that you could see our marriage is pretty strong. Having the best husband is awesome. Though we want to have a child all we need to do is wait for the right time. Thank you and God Bless!

    What future relationships(friendships & working) do you see for me in the next year/years?
    DOB 10th July

    Thankyou for offering free one card readings! Your interpretations of the Gild Tarot have especially helped me as I have recently purchased and begun studying that particular Tarot deck. For my reading, could you perhaps use the Gilded? Just so I can understand it better? If not, that’s perfectly fine! Thankyou again!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Ella, thank you for your request. Yes, I’d love to used the Gilded Tarot for you.

      That’s a big question, in terms of time, for one little card, but I’ll do my best. It helps if you understand that any reading is a snapshot of energy in the present moment, so a reading about the future really needs to be longer so that the present can be shown as leading into the future. Sort of “if this is what you are doing now, it is likely to lead to….”. Hence it’s a bit restricted with one or two cards. We’ll see what shows up.

      Your card is Justice, a beautiful image of a blind-folded woman in a shimmering satin dress, holding a glowing sun in her right hand and a silvery moon in her left. There are beams of light between them and another sun effigy in the foreground of the card. In front of the woman stand the scales of Justice and behind her we can see a golden arch and a rising sun.

      This card tells you that, in friendships and relationships, you must seek a balanced perspective. You may be drawn towards unusual people, and that’s fine, but don’t let one particular relationship color the others. In other words, don’t get unbalanced by allowing it to take over your life. Always take a step back and let the sun illuminate the truth. I knew a girl, who fell in love with a boy at the age of 16. The relationship, if you could call it that, only lasted a couple of weeks. However, for years and years, that relationship was her touchstone. Every other person was compared to him. It completely skewed her vision.

      As far as friendships go, I bet you are attracted to bohemian types. People who aren’t afraid to be different. Follow their lead, but you must tread your own path and express yourself in whatever way you feel suits you best. It really is important that you do express your personality outward and not become introverted in an unhealthy way – there’s nothing wrong with introversion either, but if it holds you back, then it becomes a problem.

      Enjoy your tarot journey, Ella, and I hope you find the most wonderful friendships along the way.

    Hi, Troi, First of all love your site and your postings. I’m relatively new to the world of Tarot. I just completed a course yesterday and received my diploma as an “official” Tarot Reader. The problem I’m having is that I’m still doubtful this is the right path for me. I find that sedentary work can be rather dull as I was used to have a very fulfilling career as a Trainer and Executive of HR. Unfortunately, my health prevents from doing any physical or demanding work, thus I must find solace in a more sedentary type of profession. As I always found Tarot reading fascinating and “scary” at the same time, and I was always curious about it, I decided to follow this path and discovered I can be very good at it. However, I find myself not wanting to expose myself and I’d rather not do readings (perhaps my fear of failure). Having said all that, I guess my main question is, “Am in the right path? (Is Tarot reading going to fulfill my needs and become my main profession?). My date of birth is December 8, (edited by troi). I was born at 10:30 a.m. in Brazil. PS: I have a request, could you do the one-card reading using Ciro’s Gilded Tarot (this is the deck I use!). Thanks in advance!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      How lovely to be asked to use a specific deck. I’m very happy to do so. Putting yourself out there is quite intimidating at first, but I assure you that once you have a few readings under your belt, you’ll gain more confidence in your abilities. After all, I expect you felt the same way at the start of your previous career? It helps if you treat tarot reading as a service to your clients, rather than as a mystical, magical thing for which you need supernatural powers 😀

      So, using the marvellous Gilded Tarot, I have drawn the Four of Wands. Go dig it out now. The card is illustrated by a family: father, mother and child. They stand beneath a canopy of flower garlands hung from four upright staves. It’s a comfortable scene.

      The Four of Wands indicates that at this moment in time, it may be better for you to relax and think about your career achievements so far. Assess all those people skills you acquired and work out how you can transfer them to tarot. Fours represent stability and lack of movement, so you are not quite ready to push on through. Spend some time just getting comfortable with the idea of pursuing a career in tarot. Play with it. Have fun and don’t treat it too seriously.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Seven of Swords, which indicates you may be thinking you need to grab on to this for dear life. I get the feeling that it’s all connected with your sense of self-worth. The card, itself, shows someone who is unwilling to let themselves be seen. Time will pass and you will know when you are ready to get out there. Not just yet, but soon.

      I can’t tell you from these two cards if this is the right path, George. You know though, don’t you? You can feel it. In any case, there’s nothing to lose by giving it a try when you feel more confident. It doesn’t mean you have to make this great big commitment.

      Good luck and I hope you are a raging success!

      1. George H. Silva

        Oh my Troi, this was so right on I’m speechless. It’s funny because I love the 4 of Wands but absolutely hate the 7 of Swords. I can’t thank you enough for your free reading. Please keep up the great work and may you always have a bright light surrounding you filling you with happiness and good health. Take care and thanks again!

        1. theraggededge Post author

          You are very welcome, George. Come back and have another one in a couple of months.

          Edit: I forgot to ask – what was the course/certification you completed?

  4. Alexis

    Hi Troi,

    Thank you so much for doing these free readings. Not only are you offering a great service, but as a new Tarot enthusiast, I really enjoy seeing how you interpret the cards.

    My DOB is Dec 10 and his is June 23.

    There is a guy I really like and I would like to ask: what do I need to know about my relationship with this him? Does he feel the same way? Thank you!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Alexis, happy to meet a new tarot addict 😀

      One of the things you’ll learn as you read for more people is that it is not a good idea to try to read the thoughts of a potential partner. This is known as a third party reading and is considered to be a little unethical. Imagine if some unknown tarot reader was divining your thoughts and feelings without your knowledge.

      I can draw a card to see what the energies/influences are around your attraction, but I’m not going to attempt to read how he feels about you. That is something you will have to discover by yourself.

      I’m using the Fountain Tarot, a gorgeous deck, and your card is the Fountain card. That’s interesting – the last time I used this deck, I think this card came up. The Fountain is an extra card specific to this deck. It offers the message that everything is interconnected and that when it appears, anything is possible. It is clarity, vision and potential. And, while it is a lovely card, it doesn’t really offer you anything concrete, so I will draw another.

      Judgment. This is the 20th card of the Major Arcana and represents a calling, a certain knowledge. Therefore if you examine your attraction and your connection to your man, all you have to do is tune into your own inner guidance to find out all you want to know. You may need to let go of perceptions that are based in your past. You can’t judge this current relationship by viewing it through the veil of previous experiences; you have to see it as a completely new and unique adventure.

      Going by your birthdays, you will both find this a bit of a challenge. You may well feel as though you are restricted or restrained. As though you can’t quite be your real selves. This might mean you take a conventional pathway rather than the more expressive and eccentric route you would rather follow. In consequence, the relationship may not be able to establish the necessary strong foundations needed for a long-term commitment. The only way to overcome this is to be completely and openly honest with each other.

      Good luck!

      1. Alexis

        Thank you Troi!

        Yes, I wouldn’t like anyone divining my thoughts and feelings without my permission. Good point!

        Aaah, the Judgment card. I sometimes see this card in my amateur attempts at doing readings for my friends and when this card shows up in a love context, I’ve always had a difficult time interpreting it so this is very helpful for my learning as well.

        I do sometimes judge new relationships through the lens of past relationships so this is great advice. In terms of our birthdays, I do agree. We find it somewhat difficult to understand each other. While we really like each other, certain situations are difficult t deal with because we inherently think and feel so differently. I will just enjoy the relationship for what it is and whatever happens will happen. 😀

        Thank you!!

        1. theraggededge Post author

          Excellent conclusion, and by taking that view, you are giving the relationship room to grow. Have fun!

  5. Mystic Star

    Dear Troi,

    I was searching for info on starting a tarot journal and came upon your site, and so glad I did. Not just for the free readings alone which you are so generously offering, but for all the information you have here. As a budding tarot card reader (I am working with the Druidcraft and Universal Rider Waite) this is a treasure trove!

    I would be grateful to have a reading for you to throw light on something in my life. I have been separated from my husband for 2+ years, we have a 7 year old son. We have decided to go for a mutual consent divorce this year, but I am so conflicted because I want to do the right thing (which would be a reconciliation for the sake of my son and also because I am so insecure about my future financially) but at the same time my heart doesn’t want to do it. I would really appreciate a reading from you on this.

    My DOB is April 28 and his DOB is March 8 (edited by Troi)

    Thank you so very much!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hello Ms Star 🙂

      This birth date combination works best within a social structure – surrounded by friends, participating in groups, etcetera. You probably liked the feeling of working in a team with your husband. Marriage can succeed, but both partners need that interaction outside of the marriage in order to be happy.

      I’m using the Robin Wood, a Rider-Waite clone and have drawn the Page of Swords. Lovely card. The Page of Swords tells you that you will soon be able to cut through your own confusion and find out what you really want. This card encourages you to explore all the options, including the possibility of a ‘half-way’ solution that might suit you both. You could maintain the partnership but live in separate locations. Instead of taking your sword and severing your connection, you might think about stretching it out temporarily. Give yourselves some space. Have a look at the card on the web. I see the Page as bringing ideas from the ether down to reality. She is the carrier, or the messenger, of inspiration.

      The base card is the Nine of Wands, which indicates you are feeling worn down by circumstances, but know you have the strength to carry on. All problems are temporary. The right solution will make itself known. If you can’t decide, then take no action for now.

      Hope it works out for you, Mystic Star.

  6. Dorothy

    My date of birth is 12th August and my husband date of birth is 10th February.

    How is our love/marriage relationship? Does he love me?

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Dorothy,

      Have removed your full d.o.bs as it’s not a good idea to broadcast identifying details 🙂 I don’t need them anyway, just day and month.

      This is curious combination as you are both very different in attitudes and outlook. It can work with a lot of effort by both parties but can often end up as a platonic relationship, rather than a passionate one. Leo must hold back from attempting to manipulate Aquarius by sheer force of their personality.

      I’m using the Universal Waite and your card is Strength. This is the 8th Major Arcana and it’s message for you is that if you are experiencing difficulties in your marriage, you must understand that you can solve your problems by gentleness, rather than insistence. Giving rather than expecting.

      The thing is, only you know how it is in your marriage. Do you feel loved by your husband? Have you asked him if he loves you? This card doesn’t confirm or deny so I can’t tell you. Do you feel that you have to tame him somehow? Do you hold him to impossibly high standards? – The base card is the Queen of Swords. Or is it the other way round and you feel trapped? The next card is the Eight of Swords.

      What do you really want from this relationship?

  7. Larquite Bolton

    I’m a new wife February 19,1984 and my husband July 6,1983 I really love my husband but I now have feelings of confusion on if I married the right person or if we should part ways.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Larquite,

      Before I draw your card, I am checking your compatibility as a couple. It’s a very general analysis based on your day and month of birth. This is a promising combination that suggests that both felt a sense of relief when you found each other. The relationship is like a safe harbor. This relationship will usually grow stronger and deeper the longer you remain together. It matures and develops into something special. Do you still need a reading?

      I’m using the Fountain Tarot and your card is… The Fountain. This is an extra card unique to this deck. So unique that I have to look up its meaning. According to the deck creators it means connectedness and awareness. The ability to see yourself as part of a whole and also as an individual, happy in solitude. I would say the appearance of this card is similar to the World card. You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Of course things may change, but if, as you say, you love your husband, then there’s no reason to worry about an alternate path at the present time.

      Good luck.

  8. Lee

    Hello Troi,

    It’s been a while. How are you,

    I would like to ask again for a reading for me (May 07, 1985) and my buddy (May 13, 1985) whom I am seeing for 3 months now. The same guy from my last request. Just wanted to look into our 2017.

    Thanks,
    Lee

  9. Karen

    Dear Troi,
    I am ready for your free reading and I was born on March 25, 1975.
    In the meantime, I am curious to find out whether there will be any new opportunity for love and prosperity development and hopefully they will both arrive at the same time!
    Thank you.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi there Karen,

      I’m using the Gilded Tarot and have drawn the Ace of Cups. This lovely card shows a golden filigree chalice floating on a calm ocean. Above it is the image of an eye gazing down, with rays of light emanating from it. Above the eye, are six phases of the moon arranged in a semi-circle.

      The Ace of Cups is a powerful card indicating that there are opportunities in the very near future for you to make connections, both romantic and platonic. Aces represent the pure energy of their suit, in this case cups, which are concerned with emotion and relationships. As it is an Ace, it doesn’t specify details about these opportunities – you have to bring yourself into alignment with the energy of what you want in order for them to appear for you. So, to attract a romance, you need to get yourself into a romantic frame of mind. Feel it before it happens. Romance yourself first. Fall in love with you, and then everyone will want to love you.

      The card at the base of the deck is the King of Pentacles, Mr Prosperity himself. He could represent a real person or he might be here to remind you that he created his wealth by his own efforts and abilities. You can do the same. It’s also possible that there is someone you already know (or soon will) who can act as a role model, guide and mentor. Probably male and probably mature. Maybe he will be the romantic opportunity. Who knows? Lots of ‘possibles’ and ‘probables’ in there, but just be open to anything that the universe brings. Also feel free to ignore any thing or person who doesn’t feel right to you.

      Good luck!

  10. Mag

    Hello Troi,

    My birthday falls on 11 April and I was wondering if anything is going to happen in my love life in the near future. Thanks in advance!

    Mag

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Mag,

      I’m using the Robin Wood Tarot and have drawn the Seven of Pentacles. A young man stares off into the distance. He’s surrounded by a good harvest but his heart’s not in his work. This card is not usually associated with predicting new relationships although it can be linked to existing ones. I would think that the card has appeared for you in a more general sense. It indicates a mild dissatisfaction with the way things are at the moment. Everything is fine, all going well, but there’s something missing. I guess it’s the relationship, yes?

      Checking the card at the base of the deck – the Hermit. Again, this one does not suggest a new relationship is around the corner but that you should use this time alone to delve deep into your spiritual side. By getting to know yourself better and accepting that everything is as it should be, you’ll pave the way for an improved future.

      Sorry the tarot has not much to tell you right now.

      Good luck.

  11. Sharon

    Wow…im sort of not surprised the Fool showed up ….i have been teaching my self tarot since April last year and the Fool is a re-occurring theme along with the World card in my personal readings .
    Thanks again for the reading your detail is appreciated. Best Regards Sharon 💕

  12. Sharon

    Hi There Troi,
    Thank you for the oppurtunity of a free reading its very generous of you !
    My Dob is 30/6/66 …. Im in Australia and my question is about my job ? There has been some uncertainty around it over the past 2 years …. I would like to know if it is secure ? With thanks Sharon 💕

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Sharon,

      No problem, I enjoy doing these mini readings.

      I’m using a deck called Tarot of the New Vision and your card is the Fool.

      I love that this card showed up for you. Here’s the familiar Fool from a different angle. he’s not stepping over the cliff he is standing in awe at the spectacle of a live volcano in the distance. The Fool is a child of the universe. He is not concerned one jot about security or routine or having a safety net. He tells you that instead of seeing an uncertain future, you should view any change as an opportunity. Anxiety or speculation isn’t even part of his vocabulary. He lives each day as if it were his first – or last. Living in the moment, in awe, being open to gifts from the universe. Feeling positive, free and happy.

      Checking the card at the base of the deck – Temperance. Alchemy. Moderation. Balance in all things, mixing it up, bringing people together, making connections with others.

      I think you don’t have to worry at all, Sharon. Everything will work out fine and better than you expect.

      Good luck!

  13. Ronnie Slade

    Hello and a Happy New Year to you! My name’s Ronnie, 12th November

    I had a near death experience (NDE) between the 11th and 16th January 2016. I can’t be precise about the date but a vision appears in front of my eyes…all in black and white and rather grainy. I was definitely elsewhere! I was in a coMagistrates and unconscious for two weeks. I’ve worked in Sales and marketing for 33 years. Further to my NDE I believe I’ve had a spiritual awakening and am being drawn to create a motivational speaking business. My arrival at the hospital in January was broadcast on that countries National Television Network as was my return to thank them for saving my life. That’s credibility/ social proof I think! My question to you is should I take this route and will it be successful?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ronnie

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Ronnie, fascinating stuff! I’m very interested in NDEs as I write a lot about them on Psychic Elements. I’ll draw a card for you but I think you already know the answer, don’t you? You have to follow your intuition on this one.

      I’m using the Universal Waite deck, recoloured by Mary Hanson-Roberts. Your card is the Hierophant. The Hierophant is shown as a religious figure sitting before two acolytes. I prefer to see him as a guide. Someone who has had real life and spiritual experience and who is able to guide people along their path. Now you could take this in two ways. Either you need a mentor to give you a helping hand, or *you* will be the guide. It is also possible that you will set out with a particular goal in mind, but your business will develop in a slightly different direction. You have to be prepared to allow that to happen – go with the flow, kind of thing. Success cannot be measured in financial reward but in how fulfilled you feel doing it. If you are glad and happy to go to work, then you are following your bliss and financial reward will naturally attach itself to you.

      Good luck!

      1. Ronnie Slade

        Thank you for your rapid response! I forgot to mention that I am no longer fulfilled in my “day” job. So thank you for reminding of another reason for wanting to change. I feel there will be a transition into opening a spiritual centre.

        Your comment regarding a mentor intrigued me as well…I have also considered this as a way forward as well. I have a flexible approach to business and a yearning after my experience to remind people how fragile life can be.

        The completion of this project/calling would mean such a lot to me as someone who gets a buzz from helping others succeed.

        Thanks again.

        P.S. I’m going to order an in-depth reading now!

  14. Marina

    Hello! So, I am currently studying abroad and my girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for a few months now (‘we’ve been together for a few years now). I’d like to know what I can expect for this new year regarding our relationship, a tip on what I can do to keep it solid 🙂

    Oh, my birthday is February 23th (1993).

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Marina,

      I’m using the World Spirit Tarot by Lauren O’Leary. Your card is the Two of Wands. Wish I could include card images in these readings. It shows a young person, standing on a beach. He holds two glowing wands as he gazes up at a shooting star. The star seems to be headed for some distant land. It seems perfect for your situation.

      It seems that you have got everything in place right now. The situation is what it is. The Two of Wands usually indicates plans made but currently delayed, so I guess that you have already made plans for when you have finished your studying. It’s a question of waiting it out.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Seeker (Knight) of Swords. He is impatient and determined to reach his goals. However difficult the way ahead, he will find a way by using his considerable intellect. Even though you have accepted the situation, there may well be a way for you to spend more time together. Don’t worry at the problem like the Knight of Swords; instead relax and allow the universe to deliver a solution to you. Say, “Show me, Universe…” and see what transpires.

      As for a tip on how to keep it solid, well, that is down to the strength of your feelings for each other. If I were in your situation, and I have been in the past, I would do some private ‘scripting’. Writing out how strong and stable the relationship is; how you know you will be together in due course, how everything always works out for you, etcetera. I’d keep that little monologue going for the whole time you are apart. Read this great blog post by Lana Shlafer for how to do it.

      It will all work out in the end.

  15. Alejandra

    Hi Troi,
    My question is what does spirit want me to know? My name is Alejandra and my dob is May 25 1981. Thank you!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hello again, Alejandra,

      I will use the same deck for you as I did for Rena, the Power of Surrender cards. Your card is:

      “Surrender to play… Take a break from overthinking a goal. Do something fun. Play is a time of recreation and rejuvenation.”

      That’s your message – have fun!

  16. Rena

    Hi Troi,

    Thank you so much for offering this free one-card reading!

    My question: I am preparing for a special spiritual ceremony next year, one that has been in the making since 2007. Is there any insight that can help as I enter into final preparations?

    In Gratitude,

    Rena (12/02)

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Rena, sorry to be so long getting to your reading.

      Instead of a tarot reading, I am using a new oracle deck I got as a gift. “The Power of Surrender” by Judith Orloff. I will shuffle and draw a random card. Hopefully, it will resonate with you and help you with your (intriguing) preparations.

      Well, I’m not sure if this will be of use or not. “Surrender the idea you can fix someone… It’s time for a relationship to shift. It doesn’t work to try to fix someone. Each person must be accountable for his or her own healing.”

      I suppose it is time to focus on you and allow everything else to just be.

      Hope it all goes well for you.

  17. Arminder Kaur

    Hi There,

    My birth month is February. My question is that are there children in my future, if yes how many?

    Min

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi there, Min,

      I’m sure you understand that I can’t answer this question. I am not going to be the one who gives you hope or dashes it. Your children will (or won’t) appear when it is the right time. Hopefully, it will be when you decide to bring them into the world.

      Instead I will draw a card to represent the energy around you right now. I’m using the Deviant Moon Tarot and your card is the Knight of Cups. This is a romantic card and the immediate feeling I get from it is that you are going to be snuggling up with someone you love. There is romance, gifts and sharing of emotions. This card might be indicating the end of a period of solitude (the card at the base of the deck is the Hermit, reversed).

      Hope that helps. Have a wonderful time.

  18. Brandy Byrd

    In my near future, what is the most important upcoming event that the cards want me to know about?

    Brandy
    April 24

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Brandy, I’m using the Deviant Moon Tarot and your card is the Eight of Wands.

      A woman is about to hack down seven growing saplings with a scythe (the eighth wand). A crow flies toward her holding a letter in its beak. The tarot may be referring to something you are about to throw away or destroy. The card tells you to think again before you do it as there could be value or use in whatever it is. Now I can’t tell whether this is a physical object, a job offer, relationship, friendship or anything else. Only you can know what it is. It might be that you are thinking of ending a tradition, or making a radical change to how you celebrate the holidays. So the advice is, take your time, have a think and maybe hold off for a little while.

      The traditional meaning for this card is events and situations changing rapidly. It means getting organized and working as a team. Sometimes the Eight of Wands is referred to as the ‘arrows of love’, meaning possible conception or birth.

      The base card is the Nine of Wands, which indicates that tiredness, jadedness, exhaustion, or frustration may be why you asked the question.

      Hope it works out just the way you want it to.

      Happy holidays!

    Hi Troi, I lived a troubled childhood and youth. Got married thinking that life will change for better. It offered another set of challenges and marriage turned out to be a failure. Someone came in my life 2 years ago showing me a future ahead and a complementing relationship together. I trusted with good faith but now realised that he never meant what he said. He only used me as a stepping stone and even sexually and now left me for he found someone else to settle with. Its been over 3 months and I am yet not able to get over the trauma. My condition is also affecting my 7 year old daughter. I want to be in a loving relationship so that I can be kind and happy for my daughter which I am not. Will I find a partner for a loving and complementing relationship that I long for? My date of birth is 22nd August 1975

      Hi Swapna,

      Glad you found the link. Sorry to hear you have had a difficult time lately.

      I’m using the Fountain Tarot and your card is the Devil. The Devil signifies patterns of behaviour and thoughts that do not serve you. It is a card of being wedded to beliefs that cannot help you. It shows a mindset which must be broken and put back together minus the shackles which bind you.

      Looking at your message, it seems to me that you have always looked for something outside of yourself to make life better. You got married in order to put your troubled childhood behind you. You had a child, probably hoping that she would make your marriage work. Then began a new relationship to help you past the trauma of separation and divorce. Now you are looking for another partner to help you be kind and happy for your daughter. Can you see a pattern?

      The key to your current and future happiness does not lie with another person. It is already within you. In fact, you are unlikely to attain a loving, equal relationship until you make peace with where you are. No-one else can do this for you. You can make a choice right now, to be kind and happy. In every moment you can ask yourself – shall I be miserable because I am single or shall I choose to be happy in this moment? Shall I be unkind to my daughter or shall I show her kindness and love? Shall I yearn for what I haven’t got or shall I appreciate the good in my life? Once you can do this, your ideal partner will show up. In fact you can get so happy right where you are that you won’t even care if he shows up or not. If he does, it will be the icing (frosting) on the cake (as we say). Meanwhile, you can make a great cake without icing.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Knight of Swords. This Knight wields a sword that cuts through a misapprehension – as far as your ex is concerned, just know that it is better that he left you. You would not have been happy with him long term. There’s no trauma, just escape and relief. Be glad.

      Good luck.

    Hello Troi! Someone briefly entered my life a year ago and irrevocably changed it, before leaving abruptly and sans explanation. Will our paths cross again ?
    My DOB is 30.09.2016.
    Thank you !

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hello Priya,

      Your birthday is the same as my son’s – different year though 😀

      I’m using the Deviant Moon and have drawn the Ace of Cups. The Ace of Cups, as you probably know, represents a new attraction, an emotional connection or a gift of the spiritual variety. It makes me think that, rather than muse whether or not you might meet this person again, you might perhaps focus on the gift you were given. Whether positive or negative, there is much for you to assimilate from your time with your ‘someone’.

      Your paths may cross again and they may not. Does knowing make any difference? Would you make preparations or change your actions in order to avoid the meeting? If you would take positive action knowing the answer, then why not take that action anyway? The Ace of Cups might mean that a new ‘someone’may be just around the corner… but…

      The card at the base of the deck is the Hermit, which suggests that you have an inner journey to navigate. That you have to do it alone. For now.

      Good luck, Priya.

      1. Priya VK Singh

        Thank you so much , Troi !
        What you say makes so much sense —- I have been on a voyage of discovery for nearly a year. I have recently gathered the courage to put my insights into action and travel down a road which seems lonely right now but irresitible nevertheless because there is so much peace to be experienced down this road.
        No, I would take no action to precipitate this person’s return or to prevent it. Thank you, for so wisely pointing out that it isn’t a question I need an answer to. I have gained much from the encounter, and feel greatly strengthened to walk down the path of my choice.
        I am so glad I stumbled across your blog while searching for The Moon.
        It led me to a write up on 3 of swords and how it can be seen as poor communication having disastrous results. That was yesterday. Today I drew the 3 of swords as the day’s card, and propmtly took steps that I usually would not have to explain my position to my boss , with gratifying results.
        So , thank you, once again !

        1. theraggededge Post author

          Great feedback, Priya, thank you. You are obviously making good progress along your life-path. May you make many beautiful discoveries as you travel. xx

  21. Lee

    Hello Troi!

    I would like to ask for a reading for me May 07, 1985 and for a special someone May 13, 1985.

    Thanks

    Lee

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hello Lee, I was thinking about you the other day and here you are. Going by your birthdays, this is likely to be a fun-filled relationship. Even though you are both Taurus and thus an earth sign, there is a lightness about the combination. I’m sure you are finding all this out for yourself, so I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.

      Your card, from the Robin Wood, is the Five of Swords. Wasn’t really expecting that. I think this is outside of the relationship. You will be facing a challenge of some sort. Maybe you will discover that someone is gossiping about you, trying to get the better of you, or will let you down. Whatever this situation is, it is important that you don’t fight it. Walk away because by doing that, you will win. Effectively you remove the target, you, from the sights of the other person.

      Good luck and I hope the romance goes really well.

      1. Lee

        Wow you still remember me. Thanks for the reading! 🙂 Yeah hope it goes well this time for both of us. Keep Safe 🙂

    Hello. Thanks for your beautiful and helpful website! I’m a cranial sacral therapist and I’ve just moved to Rome, Italy. Can you tell me what I can do to get my practice going? A website is not an option, and the private studios aren’t hiring. It’s a different world over here; not at all like it is in the US as far as finding this type of work. I’d like to practice out of my home, but, I need to have clients!! Thank you for any insight you can give me. BD 3/22/54
    take care and have a great day!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Paula, sorry for the delay. Congratulations on moving to such a beautiful part of the world.

      I’m using the Robin Wood Tarot and your card is the King of Swords. You need to seek out or identify the person who most resembles this court card. He (or she) will be someone in a position of authority. A professional who can introduce you to people who will appreciate what you have to offer. He/she might be a lawyer, an accountant, in publishing, or even a restaurateur. As a personality type, s/he will be quite cool, not over effusive. They will have access to a network of potential clients and once you are in, you’ll be able to build up a decent clientele.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Moon, so be careful that you don’t get misled or sent in the wrong direction. Pick your way along your path and don’t be in a huge rush.

      Good luck!

      1. Paula

        Dear Troi,
        It is pretty special to be living in Rome, surrounded by history! Thank you so much for your reading. It actually makes a lot of sense. I’ll be alert for the person who may be able to help me.
        take care,
        Paula

  23. Adriana

    My name is Adriana. Birthday is December 08. My question: what does the horizon look like for my love life?
    Thank you very much!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Adriana, sorry for the delay – busy weekend.

      I’m using the Universal Waite tarot deck. The card I’ve turned over for you is the Fool. I’m sure you’re familiar with the image of the Fool appearing about to step off a cliff, with his little dog barking at his heels. Of course, we can’t see if the drop is a short one, or if it is an abyss.

      The Fool trusts in the universe completely to fulfil his needs. Others may think him foolish but the fool is only concerned with living in the moment and extracting as much joy as possible from his surroundings. He tells you that you need not think about what’s on the horizon, but instead pay attention to the here and now. The present time is where you sow the seeds of your future.

      So trust implicitly that the universe will deliver the right person at the right time to you, Adriana. Don’t focus on where your lover is or why you haven’t met them yet. Simply put your attention on the deliciousness of your life and the rest will take care of itself.

      Good luck!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Kerri,

      Not really. I don’t like answering questions like that. Sorry. It’s one for your professional health advisor, not a tarot reader.

      I’ll draw a general card for you to see if you have a good week ahead. I’m using a deck called the Gilded Tarot and have drawn the Nine of Pentacles. This is a beautiful card – a woman in a blue dress stands in a verdant garden. On her left wrist she holds a hooded bird of prey. There are butterflies all around and nine pentacles are ‘growing’ on a shrub that frames her. In the background is a white decorative gazebo.

      This card indicates that there are good energies around you, hinting at a financially good week or weeks up ahead. This card is all about independence and material security. As a nine card, it could mean that you are about to reach an important goal or milestone in your life. This could be linked to your work or to property, or similar practical aspect.

      Checking the base card – The World – confirms that you are doing everything right at the moment. It also suggests that one phase is ending and another is about to begin. There’s a chance that you will feel as if you are stuck in a holding pattern, but it’s temporary. Things will progress.

      Good luck!

  24. Alejandra

    Thank you very much for the reading. I really needed to hear that at this time. I love the mantra. I will make sure to start saying it today. Have a blessed day!

  25. Alejandra

    Hi Troi,
    Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. My question is what is my life purpose? My dob is May 25. My name is Alejandra.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Alejandra,

      I edited your message to remove specific identifying details 🙂

      Your question is a big one for a single card to answer. The thing is, your life’s purpose changes as you travel your path. According to the phase, your purpose may be to grow spiritually, learn how to share in a relationship, bring up children… you get the idea. Rarely does one individual have a single purpose for the whole of their life. If you asked me what the single, over-arching purpose of human life, I’d say to experience joy. When a person is in a state of pure joy, they cannot commit a harmful act or intentionally hurt another being. I believe that Source/All-that-is/God/[Insert name of favourite deity here] expands through our joy. Included in that is love, appreciation, gratitude, etc.

      Anyway, I’ll draw a card for you and simply pass on its message. I’m using the Deviant Moon tarot and your card is the Three of Wands. This card shows an expectant female figure contemplating a group of three stems that support budding flowers. They are nourished by a vine that emerges from the figure’s navel. A full moon shines down illuminating the three plants.

      This card indicates that you have completed or are in the process of completing a life cycle. You have put effort into a part of your life which is reaching a natural conclusion. There is nothing more you can do now, except to look forward to the next phase of your life. Remain open to all possibilities and the next opportunity will present itself quite soon. You may find later that what you have completed now, will bear fruit later on. Nothing is wasted, no effort made in vain.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Two of Swords. One figure below the waist, splits into two from the waist up. They are in conflict. This card shows that you are at a crossroads and unsure of the direction to take. You have to stop pushing, worrying and feeling anxious about all this. You could choose to follow the most mundane path and it will still serve you well. Follow the path that makes you feel the most relief. Go with it. Drop your concerns and go with the flow. Say, over and over, “Everything is easy for me.” Make it your life-long mantra.

      Good luck.

  26. Joann Velazquez

    Yes I do understand and although it gets completely tiring to continue and I get very frustrated at times but I will definitely stay on my path. Thank you so much, I seriously needed assurance to keep pushing forward. Thank you and many blessings to you!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi JoAnn,

      Ah, I just remembered who you are now. It clicked when I realised I was just about to address you as ‘Joan’. Sorry. I have got your previous reading here but not the feedback from that as my other laptop is in for repair.

      I will say that the ‘old’ reading still stands and may not have played out yet. Going on that alone, the answer to your question is to keep going, get to the end of your current classes and then go with your gut feeling as to your next step. Regarding the other part of your question (to anyone else reading this, I was in contact with JoAnn via email), I’ll draw a card from the Robin Wood deck.

      The Hanged Man. This card shows a young man hanging upside down with his legs crossed/hooked over a branch of a tree. He doesn’t look too unhappy about being in this position. This card has a fairly simple meaning for you and that is to do nothing other than what you are already doing. It’s going to change, but not yet. If you want to keep going and achieve your ambitions, you have to stay right where you are.

      The card at the bottom of the deck is Strength which confirms that you are on the right path – for now. If another opportunity comes along, such as the perfect job, then you will know it and can change direction at that time. So, yes, keep going for now and as soon as you are able, make a turn. Hope you understood what I am saying.

      All the best.

  27. Quinn

    Hi, My name is Quinn, October 25/1978. I have many signs have been cursed, possibly more than once. Can you tell me of this with one card? Thanks so much for your time.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Quinn,

      First of all, it’s very unlikely you have been cursed, or even if you have that the curse has ‘stuck’. What happens is that you somehow think a thought about being cursed. This can be triggered by a conflict or argument or upset with another person. So you wonder if they have cursed you. Then, as you think about it some more, you begin to notice signs of being cursed. The more attention you give to the, the more you see them – “seek and thou shalt find” and all that. So you convince yourself that you are cursed. And in a way, you are because you are now giving away your personal power. You feel as though you are a victim, that the other person is in control and there’s nothing you can do. As soon as you understand this, the ‘curse’ falls away because there is nothing there. Only the energy of your thought was holding it in place. I wrote an article about this very thing: http://hubpages.com/religion-philosophy/cursed-evil-eye

      Anyway, you came for a card reading, so here it is. I’m using the Witches Tarot by Ellen Cannon Reed. Thought it would be appropriate. Your card is the Five of Swords. Couldn’t be better. This card shows two men sitting on a high rocky outcrop. There is a tree at their back. A third man lies dead or injured next to them. Two more men are further down – they could either be attacking or protecting the others, it’s hard to tell as they are dressed similarly. The Five of Swords is an intellectual challenge. It means that you have to decide which of the figures represents you – the injured victim, one of the two that hold the moral high ground or perhaps one of the two below who are taking action. As an advice card, this one tells you to not get involved in the conflict at all – just turn away. There are no winners or losers in war – they are all losers. So, as this is a challenge of thought and communication, the Five of Swords tells you to shrug and turn away. That action is the action of a winner. By doing this, you leave the other person with nothing to fight against. Know that there are more important things for you to focus on than the idea that someone has a hold over you.

      Good luck, not that you need it.

  28. paulina

    Hello I don’t know if this is possible yet. My name is Paulina and my birth is 20.01.1990. I wanted to ask if my financial situation will change and if I’m gonna find a job that I feel comfortable and I like. Thank you very much and God bless you 🙂

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Paulina, head over to http://www.tabi.org.uk/ You’ll be able to get a free reading there. Otherwise, please wait a couple of months before requesting another here. Thanks and good luck with the job search.

        1. theraggededge Post author

          It’s no problem, Paulina. It does say ‘one per person’ at the top of the page. I’m happy to do another in a few months so do feel free to come back.

  29. diana

    Hi my birthday is 17th December 1986.
    I am wondering when I will get my full time job in science? I’ve been back from travelling and looking for a good job!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Diana, I’m going to change your question to something that will help you more at the present time: What do I need to focus on right now to secure a full-time job in a scientific field?

      I’m using the beautiful Fountain Tarot and have drawn the Hanged Man. This is a paradoxical card to appear in answer to the question as, in essence, it means do nothing. I would suggest that you focus on feeling relaxed, going with the flow and holding the idea of your perfect job in your mind. Turn it into a lovely fantasy. Picture yourself working in the ideal environment, working on tasks that interest you. Build up the vision in detail. Keep this feeling of relaxed expectation as you apply for suitable positions. Pretty soon the opportunity you wished for will materialise.

      Looking at the card on the bottom of the deck – The King of Swords. This may represent someone in an authoritative position who may be able to advance your cause. Usually male, very professional and happy to help you get on the first rung of the ladder. If he can help, accept the offer.

      Good luck.

  30. paulina

    Thank you very much for the interpretation. Everything makes more sense for that dream.

  31. KH

    I am in the midst of many changes in my life–promotion, new home, and strange health issues. The road ahead looks challenging. Can I count on my inner strength? Will things begin to smooth? Birthdate: 8/14/83 Thank you!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi KH, Sorry for the delay. You seem to be dealing with a mix of positive and not so positive issues. One card won’t be able to address them all but we’ll see what comes up for you.

      I’m using the Robin Wood tarot and have drawn the Four of Cups. This is interesting (please Google the image) as it shows a young man seated with his back against a sturdy tree. Three gold cups are lined up in front of him and a fourth is materializing out of thin air next to him. He doesn’t see it as he is completely focused on his own inner landscape.

      This card tells me that your thoughts are concentrated inwards and that you are trying to let your body get on with the jobs and tasks you need to do. I do this all the time. I am so wrapped up thinking of all the things I have to do, that I’m not concentrating on the one thing I should be doing right now in the moment. The result of this is overwhelm. Low-level stress, mild depression. The chap in the card is not relaxed. He’s supposed to be taking rest, but he isn’t. He can’t even see the gifts he has been given.

      As it is a cups card, he must reconnect with his own emotions, instead of subjugating them under all these concerns. If he just closes his eyes and stops ‘doing’ and feels the tree behind him offering its support, the grass beneath his feet and the glorious gifts of a wonderful life, he will feel so much better.

      The card at the base of the deck is Strength 😀 So yes, you can count on it.

      Good luck.

  32. paulina

    Hello, thank you very much for this beautiful job. My birthday is on 20.01.1990. I don’t know if tarot can interpret dreams,but I remember that years ago (3 years or 4 I think) I dreamt about myself. I saw a picture of me but I was very beautiful, my skin glowed, my hair was beautiful, everything on me shone. Then, I remember that my dream changed to another scene. I saw a little girl, she was blonde and blue eyed. I remember that she was in some man’s arms. I said she is my daughter. I remember that I loved her so much, even when I woke up I still felt something in my chest. It was a kind of weird dream, maybe it is very simple but I don’t know why this has an effect on me until today. I will be very pleased if you can help me.

    Many blessings

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi there, Paulina,

      I’m not sure I will be able to give you any meaningful information – I’m no dream expert and I do tend to use my own life experience in conjunction with intuition to do my readings. I’ll draw a card for you, give you the general interpretation and then I suggest you Google the card image and perhaps immerse yourself in it to see what insights come to you. I will say that I have had several dreams that have stayed with me over the years, some from childhood.

      I’m going to use a deck called ‘Shadowscapes’ as it is the most dreamy deck I own. Your card is the Seven of Pentacles (just Google “Shadowscapes Seven of Pentacles). It shows a young woman checking some strange, glowing fruit to see if they are ready to be harvested. This card is about making a decision, whether to reap the harvest now or to wait until it is fully ripe. Both involve risks. Think back to the time when the dream occurred and see if you were in the process of some kind of life change. Then consider your life since that time – are you happy that you made the choices you did? Now come back to the present and know that you can make adjustments to your life course at any time. That no decision has to be wrong.

      The card doesn’t give me any information about personal relationships or a child – unless you have a decision to make currently. If you are in transition, and it is likely that you are, or will be soon, then go with your intuition and gut feeling – it will stand you in good stead.

      Visualise yourself placing your dream in a beautiful box, like a precious jewel. You will never forget it, and now and then you can bring it into the light in order to recall how it made you feel. You can recapture that happiness anytime you wish to.

      Best wishes and sweet dreams.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Kin, your question is very general for a one-card reading, so you won’t get much useful information. The future is so big, don’t you think? It’s better if you focus in on what would be a good path to consider right now and let the future unfold as it will. Your point of power is in the present moment, i.e this is where you get to make the choices that will determine the future. Anyway, we’ll see what shows up for you.

      I’m using the Tarot of the New Vision and have drawn the Six of Pentacles. It shows a merchant giving money to two beggars. As we are looking at the scene from behind, we can see that the finely dressed merchant is not so well-off as he might appear. His cloak is falling apart at the seams. However, he knows that with careful management of his resources he has enough to spare. He understands that it is better for money to flow through him than to hoard it and prevent the energy from moving.

      This card tells you that you will either be giving help to someone in need, or receiving it because you are in need. It’s usually connected to finances, though not always. It is likely that you need to invest in yourself – to undertake some training perhaps or get a certain qualification in order to get the career you want. Perhaps someone can help you with that? I get the feeling you are embarking on a professional path – something like a lawyer, accountant, or doctor. It might be a career path already defined for you as in you’ll be following in someone’s footsteps. Be sure to give a helping hand to others on your way up.

      Good luck!

  33. Julie

    Hello, I am so pleased to have found you. I simply looked up fortune telling on Pinterest and it led me to your sight. My birthday is February 26, 1957. My question is about my life’s purpose and is it to write? Every time I mentally ask the answer, “write”, comes shooting back at me. I thought about writing when I was a teenager simply with the thought of becoming rich on residual income. The idea has never left me and now I constantly think of putting life experiences (mine or other’s) into written form. I don’t trust my own mental feedback and would like to hear what the Universe says through someone other than myself.

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Julie,

      You don’t need a tarot reading – you need to write! HubPages is the place for you. I wrote about 80 articles for the site several years ago and they are still paying me every month – $150. It takes time to get up to that level, of course, but it’s a good practice arena. I learned loads. I now write for two other sites – 3 articles a week. Plus you can have your own blog for all the personal stuff. You won’t get rich writing, unless you can pen the next Harry Potter, but it is immensely satisfying to say, “I’m a writer.” And it pays for the dog food.

      Meanwhile… I’m using the Gilded Tarot and drawn the Queen of Wands. Not necessarily associated with writing, this card tells you to fire up your enthusiasm and follow your instincts. The Queen of Wands is active, warm-hearted, friendly and giving. Like all the Wands family, she can be impulsive, inspiring and determined. Be like her and follow your dream.

      The base card is the Sun, which indicates a general improvement in all areas of life – health, wealth, finances, relationships.

      Even if you find that writing is not your life’s purpose, it may well lead to other options as a whole new world opens up for you. You have nothing to lose; if you have a laptop/computer then you have everything you need.

      Good luck, Julie. Hope to see you at HubPages.

  34. Novi

    Hi, I want to ask: what is in my future for my love life?

    Birth date is November 7. Thank you in advance!

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Novi, your question is a bit far-reaching for one card but I’ll do my best. I’m using the Gilded Chariot and have drawn the Chariot.

      The Chariot shows you that you are in the driving seat as far as your love life is concerned. It tells you that you must know what you want from a relationship and head towards it. It’s possible that will have to learn to control your jealousy. It also indicates that when you meet someone special, it will be a long term commitment. That doesn’t mean that the very next person will be a lifetime mate, however, you will know it once you meet the right one.

      The base card is the Two of Pentacles, which can mean that you will have to make a choice between two people. Be sensible and pragmatic about it. The best is not necessarily the one who, on the surface, appears to be the best choice.

      Good luck!

  35. Amrita

    Hello,
    My date of birth is the 21 aug 1986 . I am presently on a spiritual journey found my twin flame but in am married . My question is do you see me with my twin or with my husband ?

    1. theraggededge Post author

      Hi Amrita,

      You’ve probably come to the wrong tarot reader… I don’t believe in soul mates and twin flames, I’m afraid. However, I won’t go into all that now. I’m using the Universal Waite deck and have drawn the Emperor.

      The Emperor, being a Major Arcana card, doesn’t generally represent an actual person, but something fundamental in life. The Emperor is all about order, power, authority and stability. He takes the chaos inherent in the abundance of the Empress and builds a structure out of it. The Emperor stands for commitment and responsibility. Occasionally this card will appear when a male figure is acting in an overbearing or overly authoritative manner.

      So I think it has appeared here to ask you to consider your commitment seriously. To make a wise choice based on pragmatic matters as well as romantic ones. I don’t have to list those out – I’m sure you know what I mean. If your marriage is over, in that you feel nothing for your husband then you would probably be making the right decision to end it – for everyone’s sake. If you are unsure, because you still love him, then do nothing. Wait until you are sure.

      The card at the base of the deck is interesting – the Six of Swords. A woman is sitting in a small boat with a child next to her. A man stands behind them, propelling the boat forward. They are moving from tumultuous to calmer water. It doesn’t feel like a happy journey, more as if they have been forced to move on. They will probably reach a better life eventually, but right now, at the beginning, it’s much harder than they expected. You can interpret the card as a metaphor if you like.

      I cannot answer your question directly because the choice must be yours and I, or the tarot, cannot influence you. Whichever way you choose to go, it’s not going to be easy for you, or those around you. Just be very sure before you instigate any changes that you can’t undo.

      Good luck.

    Dear Troi,

    I am right now at a crossroads in so many things. I feel almost everything is ending in my life, but I see no beginnings and things are dragging. I am learning to read the tarot cards, but I find it difficult. Maybe you could help me with a card for the job? I am a translator and find that lately the situation has worsened.
    My birth date is 14th June 1961 – Barcelona (Spain).

    Thank you very much for your reading.

      Hello Carolina,

      It is hard to see where you’re going when you’re right in the middle of the situation sometimes.

      I’m drawing a card from the Universal Waite Tarot and it is the Knight of Pentacles. This card suggests to me that you are on the right path and you must keep going for the time being. However the appearance of a Knight in tarot mean changes are up ahead. The energy is slow, but it is moving. The Knight of Pentacles is a character who will do all he can to improve his skills and I wonder if your translation skills would transfer to a new area of work? The reason I ask is because a friend of mine has just signed up to teach English as a Second Language (ESL), and I’m sure your English is good enough for that. She’ll be teaching online via video or audio link and they are giving her loads of training before she starts. I’m not sure of the name of the company. I bet you could teach Spanish too.

      The base card is the Four of Pentacles, which suggests that you need to conserve resources (money) as much as you can. No unnecessary spending until you have sorted yourself out.

      As both your cards are Pentacles, it seems you must focus on the practical matters. Do what you need to do to get past this current time and your path will unfold with new opportunities.

      Good luck, Carolina.

        Thank you, Troi, for your generous reading. I have new ideas, and I hope they will work.

        Best Regards,

    Hello,

    thanks

      Hi Stacie,

      Looks as though you only have to wait a short amount of time and the answer to your question will make itself known 🙂

      Using Tarot of the New Vision, I’ve drawn the Page of Cups. It seems that the cards would prefer you know something else. You are about to embark on something new, but it is an adventure or exploration of the heart. It may be a new friendship, association or love. It could involve a child or new baby. Whatever it is, you will have the chance to indulge in some warm-hearted, loving emotions.

      Looking at the card at the bottom of the deck – the Magician. This card indicates that whatever your desire is, you have the resources and tools to make it happen. You need to grab hold of the tail of your self-confidence and let it take you to wherever you want to go.

      Good luck – I hope it all works out for you.

    Hiya! My date of birth is 10/6
    My question is…

    What do I need to do in order to heal and move on from traumatic events that I have experienced within the last 5 years ? I have literally tried everything unless I am unaware of other methods. I would like to awaken my other dormant gifts but cannot until I can heal..

    Thank you for your time and this one card reading. I appreciate it with all my heart

    Love and light

      Hi Tricha,

      Sorry to hear that you have experienced difficulties but glad that you are ready to move on.

      I’m using a deck called Tarot of the New Vision and have drawn the Six of Cups. An interesting card to appear in answer to your question. My own opinion about getting over past events is to focus on the here and now. However, this card says the opposite. The Six of Cups indicates that you should revisit your ‘old self’, and offer reassurances that things will improve. Where you are now, is not where you were three, four, five years ago. I would think this could be done during meditation.

      The card is illustrated in the usual Rider-Waite way, with a boy handing a chalice full of flowers to a little girl. However in this version we also see two ghostly grandparent figures looking on benevolently. You can do the same. Go to your old self and give her a hug. Tell her all is well and all will work out fine.

      My personal favourite method to deal with any difficulty is to use the Book of Positive Aspects method that I mentioned to Alejandra previously. In other words, do the inside work in order to change outer circumstances.

      The base card is the Chariot, which brings me nicely to the idea that you have to start with a concrete decision to move on. If you keep saying “I’ll do this new thing when I heal from those past traumas”, you’ll never get started. Therefore, change your story to “If I do these new things, healing will happen as a matter of course.” Now you are in control. Now you have taken the first steps forward.

      Good luck

    Thank you for taking the time to do this.
    Will I be moving or am I here to stay ?
    My birthdate is May 2.

      Hi Kat,

      This is one of those questions that only you can answer 🙂 What do you want to do?

      Anyway, let’s see what the tarot says. Your card is the High Priestess, which more or less confirms what I thought when I read your question. The answer lies within. You have to trust your inner guidance, your intuition and follow the path that feels best to you. I get the idea that perhaps something must end before a new phase of your life can begin. It’s possible that you have to be the one who takes action to enable the change. In the meantime, take the time to examine your deepest desires, your gut feeling and work out which option makes your heart sing.

      Good luck.

    Hello,
    I was wondering if you could tell me what you see in regard to my career path ? My date of birth is May 25. I am currently unemployed and I don’t think I can get a job where I live now. Thank you in advance and have a great day!

      Hello again Alejandra,

      Before I start your reading, let me say that if you think you can’t get a job, then you won’t. Change your thinking and your beliefs and you can achieve anything. Why not create your own job?

      I’m using Tarot of the New Vision and have drawn the Three of Pentacles. This card is very similar to the usual Rider-Waite version, apart from the fact that we are looking from inside the building at the three figures. One is an artisan engaged in his work, the other two, a monk and a merchant are looking on. In the background a horse and wagon are leaving the scene.

      This card indicates that you have transferable skills. In other words, you should not focus on your limitations but on all the ways that you could use what you know in other applications. There are no limits. If it means you need to move away, then do that. Although you may not have to go as far as you think you do. What can you do that someone would pay you to do for them? Do you have any hobbies that would transfer into a small business?

      Your career path is not laid out for you, you create it step-by-step. You can choose to make it difficult, or you can get happy about your wealth of talent and make it easy.

      The base card is the Empress, which indicates that by doing that inner work, you mentioned, you will find your abundance. Use a process called ‘the Book of Positive Aspects’ – there are lots of links on Google. This simple process of writing down everything that is good in your life can transform any situation. You can even make stuff up – write down how fantastic your new job is, how lovely the people are and how much you enjoy the work. It’s surprising how well this process works. It’s as though when you put yourself into the vibration of what you want, your external circumstances change to accommodate that vision. Get started soon.

      Good luck!

        Thank you very much! I will get started today. I have been thinking about my hidden talents lately. I used to work as a cashier and then at a staffing agency dealing with people. I know I am good with people. They seem to tell me about their problems or their life story. I also like to help people. I will keep up doing more inner work. Thank you once again!

  41. Alejandra

    Thank you! I have been doing inner work to become a better person and create the life that I want. Especially to love myself and doing affirmations like “I am loved” and “I am healed”. Thank you for the reading and for your advice!

      Funny you should say that, Alejandra… I am a firm believer that we have to have a love affair with ourselves – in the most spiritual sense – before we can love or be loved by another. There’s a great little Kindle book called “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” by Kamil Ravikant. Well worth a read.
