    Hey there. I hope you are well.

    I’ve been feeling so sad lately. I have a great job, a loving sister and mother ..my beautiful baby boy..but I feel unfulfilled. I have a hot and cold strong connection annd love towards someone. My job is great but I feel like it’s losing its purpose. I don’t feel useful even though I am a manager. I feel like my staff questions my capability. .but I’m struggle so badly with money. My sons dad and his wife are constantly disrespecting me.

    My question is if I will ever be with the man I love in a flourishing healthy relationship?
    Is my current job the only way I can be financially stable?
    Will my sons dad and his wife ever treat me nicely?

    I feel like my whole life has been filled with pain and I just want to know if I’ll ever be free. Or if someone placed some sort of power on me that never lets me experience happiness. Romantically/financially/mentally/physically/emotionally.

    With these 3 things I listed above—I just feel like I’m being bullied all the time or maybe that I can never have anything go well for me. I’m willing to let go of the man I love if it’ll only cause me headache. I’m willing to let go of the job I have if I can provide for my son another way. My sons dad is almost the catalyst to all my defeated feelings towards myself and my life. My son is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

    3/1 me.
    4/29 man I love
    5/5 sons dad

    I know I said a lot …I’m sorry. If you are able to ..please rephrase this to a question that’ll serve these things. I can fully grasp one thing in particular that I’m asking but I’m hoping maybe you can.

    Thank you so much.

      Hello Lebrin, sounds like you need a big hug.

      You’ve asked a lot from one card, but I’ll just draw one and see if it has a useful message for you.

      I’m using The Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid and your card is Fortune’s Wheel. The card is illustrated by a complex image of the Wheel of Fortune looking like a medieval painting, all greens and gold.

      This card suggests you are currently allowing yourself to be pushed around by outside factors. You are reacting rather than directing. I think the heart of your problems is that you are in a sink hole of depression and can’t see a way out. All the other issues come from that and your inability to take control of the wheel of your life.

      I like to think of it like this: you have somehow moved to the perimeter of the Wheel of Fortune, where you have no power. You are literally swept along at the whims, actions, and words of other people. The key to regaining your personal power is to mentally move to the center of the wheel, where there is less instability and more control.

      Checking the base card–it’s the Nine of Air (Swords). This is exactly where you are: worried, anxious, feeling like a victim of all these other people. This card holds the hidden message that the things that oppose and hamper you are also part of the solution. In other words, your thoughts are holding you prisoner, but it is by changing your thoughts that will set you free.

      At the moment, the way you feel and approach life is dictated by your ex, your love interest, your job, and even your child. You have to make a choice now. Are you going to let this continue? Or are you going to begin to make radical changes?

      The first thing to do is to pay attention to your language (and thoughts). Re-read your request above and see how your own words have the power to drag you down. Everything is a struggle. So start right there. Reframe your thoughts to show where things are going right. And there will be plenty of positives to look for. Do it every single day. The Wheel tells you that you can control how you feel, rather than trying to control circumstances and other people. As you move your emotions and thoughts from that whirling outer wheel towards the stable center, you will find your life will improve accordingly.

      I’ve done a quick search and this might help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG67AzQLEYM

      Feel better soon, Lebrin.

    Dear Troi,

    I would like some advice please. I had an eviction notice some months ago. I am really stumped trying to find a new home. I seem to be stuck and feel Ive exhausted every possible avenue/ option to move forward. Yet nothing is or has changed. Im trying to stay positive but finding tough. Any advice is greatly appreciated,

      Hi Anni, you have my sympathies; this must be extremely uncomfortable for you.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Six of Cups. It’s cleverly illustrated by a man sitting on a hill with his arm over his elderly Golden Retriever. There is a bowl next to them, and behind, six more bowls receding into the distance where a little boy (the man as a child) is petting his new puppy.

      This card suggests that the solution to finding a home lies in the past. Perhaps you could sit down, go through all your contacts and make a list of people you used to know. Perhaps something will click and you will be inspired to reach out to someone who knows someone who might be able to help. Sixes in tarot are always connected with finding yourself in a better position than you were before so the card bodes well for you.

      I don’t know where you are, so unsure of how it works there, but here in the UK, people advertise for house-shares or rooms to rent all the time. There must be some kindly person willing to rent a room(s) to you somewhere. There’s no point being too picky right now, so spread your net a little wider.

      And something else occurred to me. Sometimes in the UK, jobs come up with accommodation included. Don’t know your career position, but perhaps a change of job and location would work?

      When you take a break from looking, try scripting. Write down a few paragraphs about your new place as if you already have it. Keep it in the present tense and express appreciation for your perfect new nest. Do that as often as you can. And you could also daydream and visualize it. Keeping the Six of Cups in mind, mentally check out all the places you have lived before, was there a home you particularly loved? Have you checked out that area?

      Hope it works out for you pretty soon.

          Hi Anni, I did wonder if you had a child… because of the Six of Cups’ connection to children. Actually, at first I wondered if you had a dog. In Wales, the cheapest rentals are in the valleys. I suppose you check Rightmove, etc.?

          Another thing that occurred to me for the short term might be house/dog-sitting. No security, of course, but in essence, it’s free.

          There are places to rent in our village, but they tend to be expensive because it’s not far from Cardiff.

          Wishing you all the luck!

    Troi,
    I fell out with a coworker who practices hoodoo. It’s been going on strong ever since, every day between 5 to 7 times a day. I’ve tried to combat it but he is consistently attacking me and nothing i’ve done has made a difference. So do the cards say it will get better?

      Hello John,

      I’ve edited your question to remove some details. I will say that I never claimed to have been psychically attacked. You may be mixing up the fact that I was stalked by an actual person for years. I’m sorry to hear you are going through this disturbing time.

      I’m using the Deviant Moon Tarot and your card is the Magician. A strange figure (they are all strange in this deck) with four arms stands before a box. The box is red and decorated with gold stars and moons. On it stands a gold chalice full of a red liquid. The Magician is dipping one finger into the liquid. In his other hands he holds a sword, a wand, and a coin. In the background are shadows of people.

      This is a powerful card which tells you that you hold the power to take control of the situation. The Magician represents mental clarity and the wherewithal to deal with anything that requires attention. You have all the resources you need to overcome this attack.

      The base card is the Nine of Pentacles which is generally a positive card, but in this deck is shown as a chained figure. Checking the deck creator’s description, it says that the chain holds ‘her’ pet. The pet is a small metal skull with wings. The Nine of Pentacles represents independence and freedom, which is a positive message.

      Interestingly, after I received the notification of your request, I watched a YT video that seemed to offer ways to raise yourself above all this. It may be helpful: https://youtu.be/eY02A_3Uluc

      Good luck, I hope the situation resolves itself.

    Hello,
    My question is simple, almost six months post break up and feeling optimistic and open to new opportunities. What guidance can I receive in order to attract a partner who is looking for the same long term goals as I am romantically?

    Birthday is 13 July, making me a cancer.

      Hi QoC,

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Queen of Pentacles. This Queen sits comfortably in repose with her eyes closed. Her chair is placed under a tree. Her arms are crossed at the wrist and she holds a gold pentacle that looks a bit like a slice of orange.

      The Queen of Pentacles suggests you take a pragmatic approach to your quest to attract a new partner. List out those qualities you’d like to see in a potential partner and then live those attributes yourself. At the same time, be relaxed about it all. The process itself is the goal. Once you feel you ARE those qualities the more likely you are to attract someone with them. Get to the point where you are so content with your life that it really doesn’t matter if someone turns up or not. Then they will. Try to find an image of the card and you will see what I mean.

      The card at the base of the deck is the lovely Six of Cups which hints that you’d like someone who retains all the joy of childhood and loves the simple pleasures. Again, be that and the vibrations you emit will bring more of it.

      Good luck.

    Hi Troi,

    I’m here because my sons father has been giving me so emotional pain trying to assertively charge into my babys life and change everything about his upbringing after meeting him for the first time on 12/28/22. My baby is currently 17 months old to put it into perspective. After he abandoned me while I was pregnant now he is trying to come in and take the one thing I love most away from me and dismisses everything I try to show him or tell him about how I’ve been raising my son (Montessori method and he currently attends a Montessori school).

    This sudden bulldoze into my life and my sons life has caused so much heart ache and instability for my son and I. I’m here to ask if he will ever stop and leave us alone? Hopefully sooner than later?? Like asap? How much more pain will my son and I endure? I am on the fence to do an investigation on him but then that means I would have to have one done on me too. It’s so expensive but I feel like my hands are tied behind my back and I’m watching everything burn.

    My heart can’t handle this pain anymore. It’s my worst nightmare unfolding before my eyes.

    Thank you for all you do.

      Hi Kaci,

      My first thought is that you need to get legal advice regarding your situation. Also, perhaps your ex needs to know that if he is to gain regular access, he is liable for child support backdated to your child’s birth?

      An answer to your question isn’t going to be terribly helpful to you because ‘ever’ could be a long time away and you need help right now. I’m trying to think how a reading could be useful and what question to focus on.

      How about, ‘What approach should I use dealing with my ex in this situation?’ I’ll go with that, if that’s ok.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your cards (I’ve drawn two) are the Moon and the World.

      The Moon indicates that you are overwhelmed right now. You can’t see a path forward because you are drowning in emotion, anxiety, and a lack of clarity. The Moon says that things look so different in the reflected light and shadows and you are second guessing yourself all the time. It feels like a big mess. This is supported by the base card which is the Ten of Wands–shows you are trying to carry too many burdens and obligations.

      The second card is the World, which is far better. It indicates you can get on top of this. You will find yourself in a place where you have control of your own life. You need a concrete plan to get there. I don’t know where you are, but you must get some advice. There may be organisations available to you where you can speak to someone who can help. Start right there Reach out and find out what your options are. You need practical help, yes? So get it.

      I’m sure this will work out for you and your baby, Kaci. Have faith in your own capability to get things sorted.

      Good luck x

    Hello Troi,
    Thank you for taking the time to read my question!
    My question is this – I was told that channeling- becoming someone who channels if thats the right terminology- might be a path I should look into. I don’t know much about it – seems a little scary to me but I guess I am wondering if this is a legitimate suggestion for me?

      Hi Persephone, so sorry, I just found your comment in the spam folder which is why I had no notification. I don’t think you need a reading for your question, to be honest. You should simply try it. Here’s a suggestion: When you are alone and quiet, and preferably a little tired, grab a pen and paper. Breathe deeply a few times and start to write. Doesn’t matter what. Be open to anything that comes. I’ve done this a few times and had some fantastic results. It feels as though ‘something’ is communicating through you. I found putting on headphones and having binaural music fairly loud helped a lot.

      Here’s a link to my experience: https://medium.com/ill-meet-you-at-the-crossroads/automatic-or-free-writing-9a3b7d128411

      And you don’t need a course or anything like that. Give it a go.

    Hi Troi,

    I hope you’re doing well. I have a bit of a dilemma, a good one I should add, but one that I would love to get a reading for. I have been put in a fortunate position where I have been given a promotion at work which has significantly increased my pay too. I have also been offered a job with another company that doesn’t pay as well but has some good benefits. As a courtesy, I gave my current employer the heads up on my job offer and they are now willing to bend over backwards to ensure I stay, as well as give me more money. At this point I’m really conflicted and do not want to make the wrong choice.
    I would appreciate it if you could give me some guidance around this

      Hi Azzie, congratulations! I bet many people would love to be in that situation.

      I’m hesitant to give you a reading on this because I don’t believe anyone should make such a decision on the turn of a card. So I’ll draw one for you, give you the standard interpretation and you can use it, or not. Also, you can trust your gut implicitly to help you decide.

      I’m using The Muse Tarot and your card is the Six of Inspiration (Wands). The keywords given in the book for this card are: victory and recognition, a homecoming, being seen, recognition for a job well done, being thanked, healing your fear of success.

      In general terms, the Six of Wands is a card of achievement and revelling in the moment. Sixes are always connected to reaching a good place after challenging times. In this case, the card appears to signify exam success, an impressive interview, a victory after a test or battle.

      I realise that doesn’t help you decide at all, but I’m going to tell you my immediate reaction… your current employers sound amazing, and really keen to keep you 🙂

      Good luck, Azzie. Let me know which you choose.

      Hi Lee, it’s been a while. Hope you are doing well.

      I’m using the Deviant Moon Tarot and your card is the Five of Cups. A weird human-like creature sits on a wall with his fingers in his ears while his large and formidable wife points and yells at him. Two gold cups stand on the wall next to him and three spilled cups lie on the ground along with a single rose.

      My feeling is that this card is not connected with the situation you asked about. The Five of Cups represents a very intense emotional challenge which seems too much for what you describe. I think this is connected to something else, possibly family-linked, which you will have to deal with. The one piece of advice I can give you is that there is a positive within what seems to be a negative. The Five of Cups tells you that, despite the loss of the three cups, there are still two left to sustain you (emotionally). So when whatever it is happens, be calm and turn to the people who can support you.

      The base card is the Seven of Wands which indicates you need to take a stance on what you believe in or what you know to be right. You might find the opinions and actions of others crowding you out or trying to shout you down. You have to stand your ground and keep moving forward.

      Sorry I couldn’t answer the question you asked… that will make itself clear with the passing of time.

      Good luck.

    I’m confused. I recently left a very abusive relationship, which was difficult t o leave bc I love him and have codependency issues. Then I started hanging out with a friend, who I knew had been interested for some time and then poof he stopped pursuing all of the relationship aspects except friendship and physical. I don’t get it. Our charts are great, there is major chemistry, we get sling, and then wall up.
    Why did this happen and how does he really feel about me and our relationship?

      Hi Katherine,

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is Temperance. A young, casually-dressed, man sporting almost transparent angel wings sits cross-legged. He’s lightly juggling a miniature earth and sun.

      Temperance indicates that there is chemistry and balance in the relationship but you have to understand that the balance is never static, never fixed. It shifts and adjusts constantly as with everything from the cells of your body to the construct of the universe. Therefore, my advice would be to give it a little time so you can determine if you wish to keep going with it or revert to friendship. I can’t tell you what he thinks of you because I’m not a psychic reader.

      The card at the base of the deck is Strength, which encourages you to keep moving forward with this relationship but not in a forceful way. Be patient and allow it to unfold easily and gently. Remember that if there’s friendship then that makes a great foundation for any romance. There are plenty of people who are romantically connected who don’t have a solid friendship as a basis for their relationship.

      You also need to keep in mind that you have come out of a damaging relationship yourself so are perhaps placing more reliance on your current one than you should. Your partner might be feeling overwhelmed and has withdrawn slightly. I’m saying this, not from the cards, but from experience. So like I said, be patient, both with yourself and your partner. A long-lasting relationship is built steadily and gently.

      Good luck, Katherine, I hope it all works out well for you. You have made a huge change in your life by getting away from the abuse, you deserve some real love now.

      Hi there Blueyebri, sorry to hear you are feeling like this.

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the Six of Pentacles. It is paired with the base card which is the Knight of Swords. Both of these cards suggest a similar thing. You have to get out of your head and focus your attention outwards. If you do this, the direction will make itself clear.

      The Six of Pentacles, illustrated here by two women chatting over a cup of tea, is often shown by someone helping other people. They may not be in the best position to do so, but they do what they can. Even if it simply offering yourself as someone who will listen attentively.

      The Knight of Swords backs this up because it means taking up some kind of mission or cause. Maybe an injustice you might feel passionate about. It doesn’t have to be anything huge or time-consuming.

      Focusing on your own situation over-much simply perpetuates it. Focusing on how to help someone else’s situation takes you right away from your own. And thereby, you help yourself at the same time.

      I can’t tell you specifically what you should do, but if you are open to ideas, the idea will come. My own experience included setting up a recycling group when I felt guilty about throwing out perfectly useable furniture. I ran it for 12 years. I also write articles about things that might help others. And of course, this free reading service. There are millions of ways you could use your energy and relieve your loneliness.

      Good luck.

      Hello Purpose,

      I’m not quite certain what you want to know as you haven’t asked a specific question. So I’ll just draw a card for the energy that surrounds you and your job and see what shows up.

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the King of Pentacles. There are two Kings for each suit in this deck, one male; one female. The male one has shown up for you. A Victorian gentleman (he’s small) is balanced on the antlers of a stag. Within the antlers hang three gold coins.

      As it relates to your situation, I would suggest that there is someone in your organisation who has a lot of experience in doing your particular job. Seek them out and ask for advice. Show you are willing to learn and they will be gracious in sharing their experience. Take the advice given and put it into action while at the same time, adding your own take on it. View your role as contributing to and moving the company towards increased productivity, but make sure you discharge your responsibilities to the people you manage.

      The card at the bottom of the deck often gives an insight into why the question was asked. It is the Ten of Wands. It shows a woman planting a fully blooming tulip. She carries a huge burden of other flowers on her back. If she’s going to plant them all, she has a huge task ahead of her.

      This card shows that you may already be struggling with everything that requires your attention. Remember you cannot do every little task. Your managerial skills include asking other people to take on those tasks. Even those that you deem to be your job. You can get someone to do the basic task and you can refine it later if necessary. Can I suggest that you spend a little time making sure your time is as organised as it can be. That you have your day fully structured, but be flexible enough to deviate when required.

      Good luck in your career. You will be an excellent manager. A proper King of Pentacles.

    Hi there …

    I’m glad I found your page. I was reading some of the posts and the reading with the base cards included is very interesting..I decided to try this to maybe help ease my mind..

    I’m wondering if this person will get married to another woman this year or not (2022). ..

    And if that question isn’t appropriate..then I guess a question I have is, are him and I officially over? (Mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) Or will there be reconciliation between us ..

    Thanks ..

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

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the King of Cups. Kings are shown as women in this deck so there’s a woman standing in a ocean (in fact there are two Kings for each suit: males and female) Her dress forms a huge rock with a passageway hewn through it. A ship passes underneath. Her hair looks like octopus tentacles and she holds a small model ship balanced on her left forearm. The woman is wholly concentrating on that small sailing ship. It sounds weird but it is a brilliant and powerful image.

      This card indicates that the relationship is not over… from your point of view. You are heavily invested in keeping it alive mentally and emotionally, at least. The small ship holds your focus, while the real relation-ship is sailing through and past.

      That probably tells you all you need to know. You will be better, mentally and emotionally, if you let it go. Your ex is moving on and you need to do the same.

      You expressed interest in the base card but I’m not sure if it has any relevance here. It is the Emperor, which represents structure and societal laws. It can also represent a strict parent, usually a male, who insists on people conducting themselves according to rules and traditions.

      Neither of these cards indicate a reconciliation but who knows what will happen in the future. Meanwhile, though, your heart and mind need to be free of the leftover heavy energy of this relationship. Do your best to shake it off.

      Good luck.

    Hi Troi,

    I’m really struggling. I have been pushing this person away —then coming back ..going back and forth constantly. I really care for him but he’s not able to give me what I want and I know that. I recently pushed him back again and I just want to know .. is it officially over? Or will this continue to go round and round 🙁

      Hello Sharasa,

      Sounds like a cycle similar to one I was caught up in many moons ago. It’s almost an addiction and you, like me, can probably track each subtle stage, from getting back together to ending it.

      I’m using The Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Nine of Swords. A young woman in a red dress kneels on the ground, next to a grey pillow. She holds her face in her hands in despair. It’s almost nightfall. Eight black crows and one white, almost transparent bird tussle in the air above the woman.

      Nines in tarot generally herald the end of a major life stage. The Nine of Swords indicates it can feel ominous, scary, and like facing the unknown. When you are right in the middle of it, it feels as if there’s no ending. That you are doomed to repeat the same cycles. The problem is, is that each time it happens, it feels more hollow. You get back together and at first it’s good, but it’s not ‘safe’. You already know what will eventually happen.

      This card suggests that you *can* break the repetition. You have to decide which state you want more: to be within the relationship or out and away from it. Think about how you feel when you split up. Is it relief or unhappiness? If relief, then you’ll be better outside. If you miss him and your time with him, then you have to find a way to make it work. To disrupt the emotional waves.

      I can’t tell you which path to take. The card hints at an ending, but that’s not definite because it’s always your joint decision. Should you want to stay with him, you need to decide on a strategy. It might be a pact between you to change the basis of the relationship. It might be couples counselling. The good thing is that, right now, you have some space. There’s no big rush…the Nine of Swords is a thinking card, so go deep and give thought to what you really want.

      Good luck and I hope it works out in the best way for you.

        Thank you so much Troi…I am able to be strong when I end it and push him back … but it’s like ..whenever he shows up or something I suddenly fall weak in my knees and I know in my heart he won’t be able to truly make me happy but you’re exactly right …It’s like an addiction. I know it’s guna hurt but I go back if he tries to reconcile in any way .. I’m happy that the number 9 usually represents an ending. I guess I was just wondering if he’s going to come back or not. I just want him to stop and go away 🙁 !! If he keeps coming back it’s like I have to start all over again and get over him. It’s such a painful process but you’re right .. it becomes hollow. Where the first time I ended it, it hurt so bad and now everytime I leave him again it hurts less …but it still hurts.. like right now my heart hurts .. I just need him to go away and leave me alone. I just wanted to know if he will finally 🙁

        Your reading was so spot on to how I’m feeling. I really resonate with the image you described …

        By the way…I wanted to say, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us..I was reading through the comments and you’ve helped so many people. Xo

          Oh Sharasa, you know that if you want it to stop then you must be the one to stop it. You can’t leave it up to him. Somehow you need to gather the strength to resist his persuasive charm. It took me ten years to get to the point where I called a halt. But when I did, I felt amazing. And I knew there was no going back. He even tried contacting me much later after I was with my current partner and had two kids. He thought all he had to do was turn on the old charm and I’d be right there. Nah. Told him exactly where he could go and how to get there 😀

          Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them xx

          Edited to say: I went through an awful lot of Nine of Swords moments too. Utter despair sometimes.

      Hey Troi,

      I have a follow up question please..so him and I have slowly entered into a relationship again but it feels different this time —in a good way. We both know each other better (romantically: we started off and friends so we both didn’t know that side of each other when it came to a romantic relationship) and our expectations are clear. I just want to know what comes up in regards to him and I now that we’ve entered this new chapter together. Will the outcome of us together be positive? He does have an ex wife that is very toxic and I worry about that .. thank you xx

        Hi Sharasa,

        I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the Six of Swords.

        The card shows a woman, her face turned away floating on a dark indigo cloud above a dark sea and a small island. She holds out her hand, touching a cord that hangs down from a star above. At the end of the cord an anchor hangs halfway to the island below. It’s as if she is looking for somewhere to halt her journey.

        This is a card of recovery. It means a slow journey from a difficult situation towards a better one. In matters of love it symbolises acceptance and understanding. This may well mirror your current involvement. Thoughts and emotions have alighted on a place of peace.

        However, you must also know that you have re-entered the cycle you seemed previously desperate to get out of. And while it appears to be calm now, it’s possible the same ebb and flow of feelings will occur again. Something to be aware of.

        The card at the base of the deck is the Six of Pentacles. Two women are holding china cups. Above them a floating teapot tips water into one of the cups. The women look like twins or close sisters. On the teapot is depicted a set of scales.

        The Six of Pentacles means give and take. Of balance and synergy. Whoever has more, gives to the one who has less. It’s not about charity and generosity though but the natural concept of even-ness. Like water finding its level. In the context of a relationship, it’s to do with each person contributing equally, yet being happy about making an extra effort when required.

        So, I’d say that you have to give it time and see how it works out for you. There’s nothing here about an ex, so I wouldn’t worry about her at all. She will only impinge on your relationship if you let her. The Six of Swords may represent your partner also making the necessary ‘journey of recovery’.

        Good luck.

    Dear Troi,

    I hope you’re well. I wanted to find out if I have anyone new coming into my life in reference to finding love? I hoping to be in a loving relationship that will be my life partner. I can’t tell you how sick and tired I am of kissing all these frogs!

      Hi Azzie, all good here, thank you for asking.

      Oh, those frogs!

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is Temperance. I really do encourage you to look for an image online…hold on: https://lightseerstarot.com/light-seers-tarot-meanings-temperance/

      A young man with ghostly wings sits cross-legged. He seems to be manipulating a sun and moon; weaving them around with his hands.

      Temperance suggests that perhaps you are giving too much weight to the importance of a love-partner. You need to get into a relaxed state about all this. Sort of “It’ll be great if they show up but life can still be brilliant without them.” Make the partner unnecessary to your wellbeing and you’ll find that they appear from nowhere when you are least expecting. It’s a lovely card with a beautiful energy about it, and that’s what you want your life to be. To get so contented, yet adventurous, that romantic love, when it comes, is the cherry on your delicious cake.

      The base card is the Six of Cups, which relates very much to Temperance. They have the same vibe. It shows a man sitting with his old yellow Labrador, thinking about when they were both young pups. While he is a little wistful that doggo’s best days are behind him, he is bathed in sweet memories.

      The Six of Cups tells you to be love. To understand your essence is pure love. And when you really, really know this, you can’t help but attract more love.

      I get the feeling if you take this advice onboard, love will turn up sooner rather than later.

      Good luck, Azzie x

      Hi there, Anonymous,

      I’m using The Muse Tarot by Chris-Anne and your card is the Seven of Emotions (Cups). A woman is pictured staring pensively at a tank of seven goldfish.

      This card indicates that the opportunity to reconcile may be presented to you. However, you have reservations and will be undecided. While you cannot make up your mind, you should not do anything. It’s very likely the passing of a little time will enable you to see more clearly what you want and what you don’t want. There may even be someone else in the picture who you are interested in. I can’t tell you whether you will make the right choice or not. Only you will know that.

      Good luck.

      Hello Ceci,

      It has been a while 🙂

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is 20 Judgement. A woman stands, eyes closed, arms held out and up. From her body rises a spiritual version of her inner self. It’s a beautiful image.

      As soon as I saw it, it made me think that you are hampered by your thoughts about your ex. Your inner self craves freedom and release. It’s time to let those thoughts go and accept that it is over. Just imagine how much time and energy you have devoted to this non-relationship over the past couple of years. That’s energy that could be chanelled into other, more rewarding adventures.

      Judgement is a calling. A message from your deeper consciousness to awaken and see the situation from a clearer standpoint.

      The card at the bottom of the deck is Strength. Another Major Arcana card that speaks from your inner being. Take this strength and move forward from this deadweight of emotion which is holding you hostage. It will take courage and conviction, but you can do it.

      All the best, hope it improves for you. xx

      Edit: a couple of hours after doing this reading, Ceci, I happened upon this quote, “Life takes away what you don’t need”. Just thought I’d share.

    He has said nothing has happened between himself and his colleague after a night out alone for drinks but I can’t shake the feeling he isn’t being completely honest. I guess I just want to know if it is right for me to try and move on or to try and salvage our relationship.

      Hi there, Anonymous,

      I’m not going to tell you if your partner cheated or not because to make a life-changing decision on the turn of a tarot card would be… well, not a good idea.

      The underlying problem you have is a lack of trust, which is understandable, given the circumstances. So I am going to address your last sentence in a general way. Whether you stay with him or not must be your decision.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Nine of Swords. A woman in a red dress is kneeling on grass. A pillow by her side. It’s night and the stars are out. Above her eight black crows and one ghostly white one are pecking each other. She’s not going to get any rest with all the disturbance above.

      The crows represent her thoughts. She just can’t stop thinking about her problems or her situation. I expect that’s exactly what you are going through right now. It might seem impossible but if you can just take a step back, put a little distance between yourself and your relationship for a couple of days, you may be able to see a way forward.

      The Nine of Swords shows that you can’t think for overthinking. There’s confusion heaped on confusion. Yet, there is a way through, if you can settle your mind and allow clarity in.

      You need to know that nines in tarot mean a life phase is coming to a close.

      And if you read those words and felt relief, you know which way to go.

      If you felt overwhelming grief, then perhaps look for a different solution. It would mean putting the relationship on a new footing. An agreement to be made. A commitment from both parties. You’d need to work on rebuilding the trust between you.

      The answer to your dilemma is always within. You can pose questions and make your decisions based on your reactions. Does the idea of ending it represent misery or freedom? Whichever is closest to your emotional reaction is the answer.

      Good luck.

        Thank you for that Troi, I truly appreciate it. What you described is completely right I do feel that way. Unfortunately I’m not feeling anything right now towards my relationship as I am going through a somewhat of a numb phase. I believe what broke our trust the most is him trying to hide this from me and their text messages and then denying it even when there was proof. So that’s probably why I can’t shake the feeling that I haven’t been told the whole story and that more occurred or would’ve occurred if I didn’t find out. Once again I thank you for taking time out for this tarot reading.

      Hello Pinkness, thank you for your kind words.

      As to your question, well I can’t answer it directly because it would a ‘third party reading’. In other words you are asking me to attempt to delve into another person’s feelings. And I have no connection with him.

      So we need to find some other way of getting the answer. It has to be about you, not your partner. I suggest I put the focus back on you by asking, “Am I loved?” Or “What love energy surrounds me right now?” I’ll draw a card with both those in mind. You will then have to connect the answer to your romantic situation.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the King of Pentacles. The king sits casually in a warm red room that looks like a library. He’s smiling as he contemplates the golden pentacle he’s balancing on his knee. A beautiful wolf-like dog sits one the floor beside him. The king has long grey hair and a beard, to remind us that the earth cards are connected to winter. His clothes are comfortable green sweater and jeans.

      The first thing I thought of when I saw this card is that your relationship has morphed into a long-term, habitual one. As most relationships do over time. It’s like putting on comfortable clothes. There’s no longer a need to impress. The same goes for feelings and expressions of love. There’s an element of taking it for granted, but I think that’s perfectly normal. The love and devotion is shown by the loyal dog at the king’s side. That dog isn’t going anywhere. Not out of choice, anyway.

      However, the card at the base of the deck shows an underlying issue. This base card often shows some hidden motivation or reason for the question.

      It’s the Seven of Swords. It’s illustrated by a figure scurrying over a snow-covered rise with a dagger in his/her hand. Three crows have been disturbed and look as if they are squawking an alarm. It seems there may be some unbalance or suspicion in the relationship. Or that one of you has a secret or activity hidden from the other. They could be restricted to thoughts because swords represent the intellect. You will know whether this observation is valid or not. If you are the one with the suspicion, then you need to bring it into the open and deal with it. Otherwise it will erode your trust in your partner. If it is he with the problem, again, talk to each other and bring it into the light.

      These two cards tell you that while all appears well on the surface, you need to be open with each other and address any problems that you are both avoiding. I hope that helps.

      Good luck.

    Greetings Troi,
    I hope you’re well. I did something stupid and the man I’m dating has taken a step back for now. We are still in contact. It’s hard because I clearly messed this up when everything was going so great. I have apologized but he’s not ready to work on this for now. I would like to know if there’s a possibility of a reconciliation for a romantic relationship?

      Hi Fleur, sorry to hear there’s a rift between you.

      I’m using the Good Tarot and your card is Five of Earth (Pentacles). It’s quite difficult to make out the image in this card. There’s the figure of a young person meshed with some creature or other, possibly a horse. They are mostly hidden by a green-gold mist.

      The Five of Earth generally means that you feel pushed out into the cold. Or put to one side. It always represents a challenge, usually connected to your environment. However, it’s often forgotten that the Earth/Pentacle cards are connected to the practical aspects of relationships. The best solution in this case is to simply wait. Usually some form of help or rescue will come forth. It will help if you don’t over-focus on the situation but hold onto the idea that all will be well.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Eight of Fire (Wands). I get the feeling that there is/was another person involved. It’s good that you are still in contact with each other because often that is all it needs to gradually re-establish normal service. You may find the situation changes quickly and your relationship is rekindled. Just have patience for now.

      Good luck.

        When I read the first part of “a young girl”, it struck me that the girl he’s involved with is 24 and he’s just turned 50 in April and the green mist reminds me of something as well. She has a certain addiction to cocaine by her own words the night I met her a month ago. 😳

    Hi,

    There is a girl I had been talking with for two months. I’m supposed to visit her later this year. This might sound stupid, and I might look like really gullible but:

    My bday is on August 26th, December 22th hers. She says that a suitor she has, visited on Night May 21th. A friend and potential date. (I don’t have really a compromise with her yet) she says that it was very late and he could not return home and so slept in her same bed, but they did not have sex.

    I want to ask: Is this story true at all? if so, did tjey have sex?

      Hi there, Gatherer,

      I cannot answer your question. It would be a ‘third party reading’. In other words it is about two people that I do not have a connection with. As well as being somewhat unethical, it would probably be inaccurate.

      You have to make a decision whether or not to take the acquaintance further towards a relationship. She didn’t have to tell you that she even met with this other person, let alone disclose their sleeping arrangements. She could have not mentioned it at all and you wouldn’t have known anything about it, so give her some credit for being open with you.

      Take a step back and review the current status of your friendship: You’ve only been chatting for two months. You’ve never met in person. You aren’t committed to each other. Then, in the light of these facts, decide if you still want to see her or not.

      Good luck.

          Hello Gatherer,

          I’ll draw a card to see what the potential energy and atmosphere is around your meeting. I’m using the Good Tarot and your card is the Two of Pentacles (Two of Earth in this deck).

          A woman is holding a gold disc in each hand. Her left is held higher than the right. The image is dominated by a gold mist, which almost obscures the woman.

          This is a card of balance. It’s usually reflects a positive influence. However, it also means choices and the likelihood that you will be offered two paths. I would assume that they are either go or not go to meet her. I can see you are confused over this but it has to be your decision. This meeting or non-meeting could change your life, so think carefully. If you go, it may be the best thing ever. If you go and it doesn’t work out, then all you have lost is some time. If you don’t go, you will never know what might have been.

          The card at the bottom of the deck is the Ten of Wands. This may indicate that the connection burns itself out before you even have to make that decision.

          My advice: wait and see what happens over the next couple of months.

          Good luck.

      Hi Liz, I would suggest that this is a question that will be answered by the passing of time. Having a yes or a no isn’t going to help you much. Instead, I will draw a card to see what romantic/love energy is around you right now.

      I’m using the Crow Tarot and your card is the Nine of Swords. The image shows a crow waking from a series of nightmares. This card indicates that your priorities are not with romance but with other issues that are causing worry, fear, and anxiety. You may feel that your well-being is under the control of others. You need to know that this is not the case. You have the power to move yourself forward. You need no one else to make you feel better.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Sun. This base card often gives a little more insight into the situation. The Sun indicates that life will improve dramatically for you over the coming months. Take advantage and build on your achievements, however small they appear. All aspects of your life, including relationships, will be better than they are now.

      Good luck.

    Dear Troi, what an amazing site you have….
    I need your guidance. My boyfriend (Gemini) is in close contact with his ex (Virgo). He sais they are just friends, that she is a person he really loves and appreciates and does not want to lose contact. We have had many fights about her, my intuition tells me something is wrong. Due to fighting he never calls her when I am present, he always hides his communication with her, but I always find out…. I really want to believe him however, I feel something is wrong. She is a married woman now but I guess she enjoys her ex calling her 5 times a week to catch up… Is he lying to me about her being friends?

    We have just broke up due to a fight for this situation… I need to know if my intuition is right, and move on with my life. Excuse my English, as I am contacting you from Europe. Thank you for your time.

      Hi Vassia,

      A complicated situation indeed.

      I’m using the Crow Tarot and your card is the King of Cups. The king (a crow) perches on his throne in front of a body of water. He seems distracted as his gaze is fixated on something to his left.

      The King of Cups is usually emotionally mature and confident in his ability to weather emotional turmoil. Sometimes, though, he tries to please all sides in a situation and ends up pleasing none.

      My feeling is that it really matters not whether there is something between your boyfriend and his ex. The problem is that there is no trust between you and that can’t be fixed by a reassurance that their communication is innocent. The fact that he has to hide the occasions when he contacts her and the fact that you are determined to track down when it happens tells me that any love present is stretched thin by suspicion.

      Like the crow in the image, your boyfriend is distracted by his ex. Ask yourself who he would run to first in a crisis. Her or you?

      I really don’t think there’s any point in issuing an ultimatum. That would just make her appear even more attractive to him.

      I would, personally, explain calmly that you are unable to maintain a three-way relationship. That it’s not what you expected, and you don’t intend to put up with it any longer. Wish him all the best and walk away.

      The Star at the base of the deck indicates that you will experience a surge of confidence, a wave of love, and the knowing that you are destined for better things.

      Good luck.

          Hello Barbara,

          I’m going to start by explaining that your question is a very big and complicated one for a single card to answer. It really isn’t possible to delve in that deeply so please forgive me. However, I do know the answer without even drawing a card.

          What you are and what we all are is love. Pure love energy. We are all part of source or God or whatever you want to call it. And you don’t have to activate anything; you only need to know it. I recommend reading ‘A Course in Miracles Made Easy’ by Alan Cohen. Another is ‘A Course of Love’ by Mari Perron.

          Back to the cards. I’m just going to draw one to see what it says for you. I’m using the Crow Tarot because it’s the only deck I have to hand at the moment.

          Your card is the Star. A crow stands on the edge of a pool. A large star hovers above and seven more stars surround it. There is another small bird on a branch, looking like it is singing its heart out.

          The Star is the perfect card to show up here. I couldn’t have asked for a better one. It is the embodiment of love, not the messy romantic kind, but the pure heart-filling kind. It’s that feeling when you know that you don’t have to be or do anything in order to fulfil your purpose.

          The card at the base of the deck is the Devil. A bit of a contrast. It indicates that you may have some strong attachment to something that is not good for you. Could be anything: a relationship, an addiction, an obsession. You know if it applies or not. It is an anchor holding you down and preventing you from living the magical life you should be living. You may need to make a choice or to ask for help.

          Hope this has helped in some way, Barbara. Best wishes.

      Hi Azzie, I think a lot of people are facing financial difficulties the way things are going. You have my sympathies.

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the Page of Wands. A young woman wearing a red cape and holding a huge magnifying glass (representing the wand) to her face, stands in a jungle setting. A toucan gazes at her. The girl looks like a Victorian explorer.

      This is a great card and tells you not to hunker down in order to save money, but to keep your options open at all times. Look for creative ways to make money. Look for alternative income streams. There are always more opportunities available to you than first appears. At the same time (picturing in my head the equivalent Robin Wood card), don’t leap in, take care, do your due diligence and don’t be taken in by scammers. Use that magnifying glass to examine anything that seems too good to be true.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Six of Wands, another positive card, which tells you to use your past positive experiences and successes in the best way you can.

      So, look to bring money in, rather than prevent it flowing out. Make it your goal to bring in every day more than you spend. My personal tip: consider writing sites such as Medium. I’m sure you have knowledge and life experience you can share.

      Good luck and good fortune.

        Thank you so much Troi, I’ve just realised that I didn’t leave my DOB but fortunately, you were able to do the reading without it. I’ve been thinking a lot about alternative ways of making money and like you said I know there will be a lot of people going through the same struggles. Finding a better paying job is something that will be on top of the agenda but like you said, finding additional sources is a great option. I’ve never even considered writing sites so thank you for that idea. I will look into it and let you know how it goes.

        Thanks again

    Greetings Troii,
    I hope you are well.. Things have changed greatly since I last wrote in terms of career and personal for the better. I met someone recently who said he wants a relationship. We get on really well. I would like to know if there’s a potential for a happy, committed relationship.

      Hi Fleur,

      Glad to hear you have met someone. I haven’t got access to my compatibility charts right now, so we’ll have to make do with a card only.

      I’m using the Gilded Tarot and your card is the Seven of Wands. A man, holding a decorated staff, stands with his back to an open door while six unseen adversaries point their own staves at him.

      I think the plain-to-see message from this card is that you need to make sure you leave a door open ‘just in case.’ You may discover that there are irreconcilable differences of opinion.

      However, the card at the base of the deck is the Three of Pentacles, which shows a man working in his forge. This card tells you that you could both craft a rewarding relationship by putting in the necessary work. Being a Pentacle card, this refers to work in a practical, not necessarily in a romantic sense.

      And, of course, there is always the potential of it being a happy committed relationship–as long as you don’t look to him to compensate for things you perceive to be missing in yourself (and vice-versa). If you know that you don’t *need* someone, that you are whole and complete by yourself, then the chances of mutual love are so much higher.

      Hope it works out for you xx

        Thank you so much Troi.. this reading makes a lot of sense. I’ve told him that I want us to be friends first and see how things are. I’ve been working on healing past traumas and somehow suddenly I’m meeting so many people who are also on the same path. In fact tomorrow I’m meeting him for some chakra healing meditation. Your reading is on point as usual. I do like him but I’m not even sure if it’s as a friend or potential partner.

      Hi Ashley, I’m not going to address the first part of your question because the potential for me to damage your relationship, and thus your life, is too high. You must not ever make a decision on the basis of some stranger drawing a tarot card. This is something you need to talk about with your partner.

      However, I will instead, draw a card to see what influences are surrounding you and whether there is something you can use to move forward–whatever happens.

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments and your card is the Ten of Pentacles. An elderly gentleman, dressed in Victorian clothing, sits upon a large tree trunk. He stares into the distance as though lost in memory. The tree has been cut right through to expose its rings. Etched into the cut side is a shadowy image of a large house with some male and female figures silhouetted in front of it. There’s also a small dog. The man and the tree are surrounded by large exotic flowers.

      The Ten of Pentacles advises you to lean upon the resources offered by family and friends. Tens generally mean that something has reached a conclusion or culmination. At this time you will do well to draw on all the practical support that is available to you.

      This is certainly not a negative card and it’s not connected to any kind of cheating (just to reassure you). Yet if you suspect your partner is unfaithful, then it seems as though you are already on rocky ground, so perhaps it’s time to reassess where you are right now? Turn to your family and support network.

      The base card, which I often look at for further insight is Judgment. Judgment is a Major Arcana card and tells you that you will know what to do when the time is right. You will gain a knowing, or a feeling that you must trust to guide you forward.

      Good luck.

    Dear Troi,
    How are you? I hope you and yours are doing great and safe. I’ve been struggling with my meditations since the last 1 month because of some heavy life changing transits astrologically becauseI can’t focus like how I used to. I am filled with anxiety and fear and my mind is so busy with old traumas resurfacing. I’m working towards letting go and healing but everything seems so overwhelming with the pain of last year’s heartbreak mix with old wounds and financia/workl instability. I wonder if I’m on the right path. I would really appreciate some guidance from the universe.

      Hi Fleur,

      I’m sorry to hear you are struggling. Right now it seems to me that drawing tarot cards may not be a great idea. I think you need to get some professional counseling to help you deal with the fear and anxiety. Tarot can be helpful in providing guidance but if I suggest you base your actions on the turn of a card, I would be acting unprofessionally. Please talk to someone who can help you deal with these challenges.

      All the best, Troi xxx

    Hi there Troi!
    My name is Mishavonna and I have a question about my ex. We officially broke up in June of last year, but we continued to see each other and were still… well… intimate… if you know what I mean lol. Recently it’s been eating me up, because I know he’s talking to at least one other woman, an ex of his, and I had to put my foot down and tell him either he commits to me or I’m out. Well he told me he was “romantically dead” so I think that says it all. I still love him SO much and for some reason I just can’t seem to let him go.
    So my question is, is there a chance we’ll get back together? 🙂

      Hi Mishavonna,

      I’ve edited your message for brevity, but I have the additional info at hand, so don’t worry that I’m not taking it into consideration. Please understand that a short reading such as this is unable to address the question in very much depth.

      I’m using the Tarot of Mystical Moments by Catrin Welz-Stein, and your card is the Seven of Pentacles. A woman sits in a tree holding a cut apple, displaying seven seeds. On the tree are other, as yet, unharvested apples.

      The Seven of Pentacles is the ‘grass is greener on the other side of the fence’ card. Meaning that your ex is more desirable now he is not with you. This is really common and easily mistaken for love.

      I cannot say whether you will get back together but my advice is to remind you that all those problems you told me about, will still be there even if you did reconcile. In particular, the fact that your love is not mutual–his only motivation appears to be sex.

      Pentacles are the pragmatic and practical suit. This card urges you to view the situation dispassionately. Think about what you would say to a friend in this situation. There’s no doubt you would see her ex-lover for what he is, that is someone who is able to treat her quite badly whilst indulging his desires with other women.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Ace of Wands, which indicates there may well be a new passion coming into your life this year. So, hold fast, look forward, not back, and have a brilliant 2022. xx

      Hi Stefanie 🙂

      This looks like a potentially successful combination. You can create a deep bond as time passes. There are some niggles to look out for and they are usually connected with minor conflicts. You need to do your best to be patient. Aries must have change and variety in life; they are not content with routine, so adaptation to his unpredictability is necessary. The good news is that if you can both see small disagreements as learning opportunities, overlook imperfections, and not take things personally, you should do fine. It’ll be fun.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Five of Swords. A young man stands with his head dipped. A crow perches on his right shoulder and four more are in the air beyond. In the distance another figure stands, hands raised in victory.

      I think this card is nothing to do with your new relationship and is connected to another area of life. The Five of Swords indicates a challenge or a set of circumstances you need to walk away from. Whatever it is, you are unlikely to win–not at this time. You must accept defeat, and regroup your resources before facing the issue at a later date when you will succeed. The issue could be connected to work or a family situation. Hold your head up and bide your time.

      The base card is the Page of Pentacles. This card tells you that you are in a learning phase in several life aspects–could be the new relationship, could be linked to the situation described above. It’s a positive card that shows you are on the right path.

      Happy New Year!

        Thank you so much for the reading! Sadly, it was quite accurate and was in regards to the relationship. He told me he “can’t commit” and isn’t sure he’s “capable of falling in love”. I briefly agreed to compromise what I want and need but realized I was repeating an old habit/pattern of accepting crumbs. I’m not willing to do that anymore so I ended it yesterday. I would rather be alone than accept less than what I deserve. I’m sad but feel good about how I’m treating myself this time. Thank you for all of the wisdom, kindness, and support you have given me over the years.

          Oh, Stefanie, I’m sorry. So that card was accurate then. But the good thing is that you saw it clearly before slipping into the old pattern. So you have every reason to be proud of yourself.

          There seems to be an epidemic of ‘standing-off’ lately. People are terrified of being part of a loving relationship.

      Hello Arty, good to know you are immersing yourself in tarot–it can be addictive mind, especially if you get into the deck collecting habit!

      I will draw a card to see what energy relating to love and romance is around you. I’m afraid I can’t do timings, I’m useless at it. Sometimes I go with suits = seasons, which would be Pentacles – winter, Swords – spring, Wands – summer, and Cups – fall/autumn. So let’s see what shows up.

      I’m using the Vice Versa Tarot which has images on both sides of the cards.

      Your card is the Eight of Pentacles (right way round). It’s very similar to the Rider-Waite version with a youngish man hard at work, crafting his golden pentacles. The completed ones are held in the trunk of a tree, which seems to be part of the building.

      I love this card, it’s the artisan card. And, although it shows someone working alone, I also think it can show collaboration.

      Pentacles are not generally thought to have much to do with love and relationships, but I disagree. I think they clearly represent the practical aspect of relationships. The everyday situations and issues. The Eight indicates you have a pragmatic outlook, and understand that by crafting your own attitude, you will attract the love that fits with your circumstances. In other words, you know that preparation is half the battle.

      For example, if you want love, you have to make space in your life for it. If you are wrapped up in work or other projects, it’s difficult to notice the signs that love is right there standing in front of you.

      Additionally, this card shows that, once you do meet a like-minded, loving person, you will be happy to gently craft the relationship to the benefit of both partners.

      The back of the card shows the same man, working at his task, but there is a young boy standing watching him intently. Learning by looking. Possibly making suggestions or content to stand in silence. We can see the landscape through the open door and it is a beautiful sunny day.

      One thing that occurs to me is that either friendship or love will be linked to a working environment. And Pentacles, so it could be soon 🙂

      Good luck.

    Hello Troi,
    How are you? I hope you and yours are well and thriving. I would really appreciate some guidance. I’m so confused right now. I don’t know if it’s the Mercury retrograde energy and i don’t want to get my hopes up but my ex has been acting conflicted with everything that went down between us. He apologised and kept saying he was a fool for hurting me. Is there reconciliation in the horizon for us?

      Hi Flori,

      All good here, thank you for asking.

      I’m using the Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid and your card is the Four of Fire (Wands). It shows an angel playing a flute while sitting on a rock. Four lit lanterns are suspended above. The whole card has a golden glow.

      I believe this card has turned up for you previously. It indicates a period of friendship and harmony ahead, so may indicate a reconnection between you and your ex. It might not be a full-on reconciliation because I don’t want to get your hopes up either. It’s a very positive card though.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Chariot, which tells you that you can drive this forward if you want to. When the opportunity arises, just straight out ask him if he’d like to go out for a drink/coffee/whatever. You don’t have to act like it’s a full-on getting-back-together, but merely that you are offering the hand of friendship.

      I wish you luck, Flori and hope he appreciates you. xx

        Thank you so much for the reading Troi. I really appreciate it. I will leave the reconciliation up to the universe for now. It’s my birthday today so I have been doing a lot of introspection these last few days and I had an epiphany. I have decided to continue working on myself instead. Love shouldn’t be this hard or cause so much pain. I absolutely agree with the reading. I’m letting go and i choose friendship instead of a love relationship. After a month of moping around with depression i started my spiritual journey 2 months ago because of the pain I was going through. He and I are both on very different vibration and I have come to reaise that I don’t need him or anyone to complete me. I am enough. May the Divine bless you and protect you and yours.

      Hi Carla,

      Good to hear from you 🙂

      Your birthday combination suggests that a relationship as a learning experience is important to both of you. It’s like an arena for experimentation; there would be challenges to negotiate, emotions to explore, and many discussions to be had. As long as you could keep that edge, it could last. It needs to be absorbing and interesting or one or both of you will get bored.

      I’m using an old but loved deck, Songs For the Journey Home. It’s round and comes from New Zealand. The original images were created with coloured pencils and are really pretty.

      Your card is the Tower. A huge sea monster is wrapped around a lighthouse, from which tumbles a human figure. The person is momentarily caught in the beam of bright light shining from the top of the tower. A storm rages all around.

      I’m not sure if this is related to your question or not. It suggests an upcoming event that will create massive change. You get to decide whether to use it as a springboard of opportunity or let it overwhelm you like a sea monster. However it works out, you will have greater clarity about what you want once it has passed.

      If it is connected to your romance, then it certainly doesn’t mean the end, but could indicate a radical shift in how it proceeds. For example, it might be a disagreement, a temporary split, a shocking revelation, or some other thing that means you have to negotiate around or through. Afterwards, you will need to agree on the new basis of the relationship.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Ninth Flame Song (Nine of Wands), which means you may need to take some time to gather your thoughts and emotions before moving forward.

      Hope it all works out well, Carla. Good luck x

      Hello Angel,

      I am happy you are in a relationship. I did a reading for you a long time ago – so that Ace of Cups did mean that romance was on its way!

      It sounds now as if it’s not going as well as you’d like. I’m going to use the Good Tarot by Colette Baron-Reid and your card is 13 Transformation, which is the equivalent of Death in other decks.

      So it appears that your relationship may be reaching a natural end pretty soon. The fact that this card came up for you indicates there is nothing you can do; it has simply run its course. Don’t resist it.

      It’s really important that you understand it didn’t fail, YOU didn’t fail, it’s just the way it is. Also, when something ends, it opens the door for new energy to come rolling in.

      The card at the base of the deck is the gorgeous Page of Fire (Wands). The Page tells you that new explorations and adventures lie ahead. There are opportunities that couldn’t happen if you stayed as you are now. So instead of hanging on to a relationship that is not working, embrace the future because there is better to come.

      I’m sure it will all work out in the best way possible.

      Hi Fleur,

      Sorry to hear you are hurting. I noticed in your last reading that the Death card indicated there was a possible ending/new beginning. I’ll draw a card for you, but you need to understand that future choices are in your and your partner’s control. And I can’t tell you for sure what is in his future because my connection is with you, not him.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot again. I just love this deck. Your card is the Queen of Wands. It shows a woman, laughing with joy as she catches a ray of golden light in her right hand. In her left she holds carved wand or staff above her head. In front of her crossed legs is a cat who gazes directly at the viewer. They are surrounded by an array of candles.

      This is a happy and positive card, although it is a personality card, rather than an event card. The energy is good and you can take the message that you should have the confidence to ask for what you want; to clearly state what would work for you. Perhaps there are compromises to be made, or a new basis for the relationship to be negotiated?

      The card at the bottom of the deck is the Sun. Another really positive card which tells you that all aspects of your life are improving. However this works out it is for your good. Keep telling yourself that… the direction you are moving in is the perfect one for you at this point.

      Give it a few days to see whether your situation improves with regard to your relationship. However, if it doesn’t, you must move on and embrace the future because it is going to be better than you ever expected.

      Hugs xx

      Hello Stefanie!

      Thank you for your kind words. I hope all is well with you.

      This is quite an interesting combination. Could be a lot of fun: plenty of interaction. Exciting, intense, and passionate. However, not particularly long-lasting as dissatisfactions come to the surface. Let’s see what the cards say.

      I’m using the Lightseer’s Tarot and your card is The Lovers. Aw. It shows two people, smooching. It indicates that there’s definitely a connection between you and you should let go and trust your inner guidance to know what’s best. At some point, you will probably reach a point where you have to decide whether to take it forward or not. The Lovers may mean that there will be a divergence, but don’t let that put you off. Wring as much goodness and fun out of this as you can.

      The Ace of Pentacles at the base of the deck indicates some kind of gift, change in your working life, or the down-to-earth nature of this new friendship. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of earthy passion 😀 This ace also represents new and firm foundations, so you never know.

      I realise this is a little contradictory, but just be in the moment and see what happens.

    I found your website through my friend Lucie’s advice and here’s my question (I really hope you can help me deal with this situation):
    I’ve been dating a very nice guy these past 6 months (we were not officially in a relationship since I was trying to heal from the previous break-up with my ex). We had a big fight a week ago and I would like to know if there is any future with him and me and if there’s going to be a reconciliation anytime soon.

      Hello Es, I’m happy to meet a friend of Lucie 🙂 But I’m sorry to hear of your break up (even if it was unofficial).

      I’m using the Gilded Tarot and your card is the Ten of Swords. A figure lies face-down in a meadow. Ten swords hang above him. In the background a deer watches him, as if concerned.

      Okay, Es, right now the tarot indicates no reconciliation. The Ten of Swords unequivocally says it’s over. However, that means it is over **in its present form** There’s no going back to how it used to be.

      All tens in tarot point to a new beginning, which means the possibility of a fresh start on different terms could well be on the horizon.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Three of Cups, which means celebration, sharing, friendship, etc. This is such a positive card, I am sure it means either you get back together and it’ll be better than before, or a new love is ready to enter your life.

      My advice is to put the ‘healing from a previous break-up’ behind you. It’s done. If you want to renew your relationship with this guy, you need to be prepared to commit to it. And by ‘commit’ I don’t mean you have to pledge yourself forever, but you have to make it clear that the healing has happened and your ex is well in the past.

      Good luck!

      Hi Nicky,

      Your birth weeks suggest that this is a good combination and usually works better as a loving partnership than in marriage. You are both strongly independent but loyal and committed at the same time.

      I have to temper your question slightly because you are asking me to delve into his feelings and emotions, which I cannot do. However, I will draw a card to see what is around you as a couple right now.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Page of Cups. So even though I said I wouldn’t read his feelings, this card negates that… I would take a guess that this card represents your Pisces and his enthusiasm for life and his youthful point of view. There is nothing in this card which shrieks ‘duty’. The complete opposite, in fact. This card shows someone who has a unique perspective on life; he would not stick around out of duty. The advice given by this card is to rediscover some of those things which drew you together in the first place, to revel in playfulness and silly fun stuff. Put your doubts aside and just have a good time with each other. If you can, go to the beach, or somewhere else where there is water.

      All is well.

      Hi Ian, sorry to take so long to get to you.

      I’m not really familiar with past life readings, mainly because I don’t feel comfortable about stating such things as fact. I tend to look at situations in the here and now. After all, that’s the only thing that matters – this present moment. So as I’m not really sure what you are asking I am simply going to draw a card to reflect the influences around you.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the World. A young woman stands within a circle of light. Her expression is one of joy, bliss and happiness.

      The appearance of this card tells you that you are exactly where you need to be in this moment, Ian. There’s no need to be concerned about other lives; they are not important to you in this life. You may feel as though you are in transit between two life cycles, or even caught between two existences, but all you need to do is relax and allow the energy to evolve into the next level.

      Interestingly, the card at the base of the deck is the Wheel, which also shows there are major changes on the horizon. You can choose to be flung where fate throws you (which can be exhilarating), or you can metaphorically move to the centre of the wheel where you can be more of an observer and have the time to make your decisions without pressure.

      Hope it all goes well for you.

      Hi Flori,

      All well here; I hope it’s the same with you.

      Taking a look at your birthday combination and it looks pretty good. It says that you often find each other at exactly the right time. Each enables the other by helping them progress in life generally. It’s as if you are able to be a second layer of perspective for the other. A second pair of eyes, if you like. Libra lls are light-hearted and fun-loving and help lift Virgo l. Virgo ls, on the other hand, are more organised and able to get Libra ll to focus and make better decisions.

      Using the Light Seer’s Tarot, which has become a semi-permanent resident on my coffee table, your card is the Four of Wands. Two women celebrate with abandon in the foreground. In the background stands a large tent with four burning staves at each corner and a garland of colourful bunting.

      The Four of Wands indicates a period of contentment and stability. You have put excellent relationship foundations in place and now you can relax a little. Sometimes this card can signify a wedding or some other more formal commitment, such as setting up home together. This period in your life is a good one and you should revel in it. Wring as much joy and goodness from it as you can.

      However, I need to point out the card at the base of the deck which is Death/Transformation. This card might not be pointing at the future but it may well mean that there will come a time when you decide to move on. You should not worry about it now because, as I say, it might be referring to the past or to another issue you’ve had to deal with. The Death card is also connected to new beginnings; green shoots and all that.

      Good luck, Flori, hope it works out exactly as you wish.

      Hi Lily, no problem 🙂

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Star. A young woman is kneeling on the ground. She looks upward to a swirling, starry sky. She holds a shimmering cord which appears to float up to a bright star in the heavens.

      The Star means your future is looking good. It suggests you become aware of signs and coincidences which will let you know if Bryan is potential long-term relationship material. I can’t say for sure that he is, but the power to discover if it’s true in within you. This is emphasised by the card at the base of the deck – the Magician. The two cards in conjunction are very powerful and shows that you are able to tap into the energy field of manifestation. In other words, if you want it to be so, it will be.

      They confirm you are on the right path, in the right place for you to expand your life in whichever direction you want – not just in relationships, but in almost any direction. At the same time, you can now throw off any negative energy and walk away from any overly negative people who are holding you back. If you can’t walk away from them, you are able to deal with them by allowing their negativity to bounce right off you.

      All is well.

    First of all thank you for your work. I really enjoy your blog and i learned lots of interesting things . I was wondering if you can help me with some clarification … i am trying very hard to get a promotion and i discussed this with my boss . i have big promises for May … Should i trust him that will happen or this is just a false promise as he doesn’t want to loose me ..i am a very good employee 😉 ..
    i am not sure also why i was never promoted in any workplace if i wanted a higher position i moved in another place and always i am in the same situation …

      Hi Roxana,

      Thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated.

      I’m using the Light Seer’s Tarot as I am thoroughly addicted to it lately. Your card is the Page of Pentacles. A young woman stands on one leg in a small circle. Her pose is a little like the figure in the Two of Pentacles and also the Hanged Man, only right way up. This makes me think that the outcome will be positive and in your favour, yet there could be some delay. You say May, so I expect that is about right. I would say that the Page of Pentacles is a ‘sincere’ card, so I doubt if your boss is making false promises.

      Meantime, like the Page, demonstrate your interest and curiosity, but don’t over-do it. Learn as much as you can.

      I can’t tell from this card why you had to move jobs to obtain a higher position, however, I would think that you made the right choices at the time.

      Interestingly, the card at the base of the deck is no help at all, but the Knight of Cups does show you might be getting a bouquet of flowers or some other token of love very soon 🙂

      Good luck. Hope it works out exactly as you envision.

      Hi Tina,

      I’m using the LightSeer’s tarot and your card is the Nine of Swords. It shows a woman dressed in red, kneeling with her hands covering her face. Above her a bunch of crows form an ominous cloud. At the edge of the flock there’s another bird, a white/silver one – can’t tell what it is.

      This card indicates that you are extremely worried and doubtful about the situation, which is understandable, of course. However, there is a solution. But you won’t find it until you take your focus off the problem and instead open yourselves to possibilities. The nine shows that an ending is on the way; you have to make sure that it is the ending you want and not one that is foisted upon you.

      Start thinking creatively. Brainstorm all the weird ideas you can come up with. And also, as Swords are the suit of truth and justice, not to mention communication, make sure you get the legal advice you need.

      The card does not reflect the outcome, merely the current process, so have faith that it will fall in your favour.

      Good luck.

    Hello Troi,
    I hope this new year is treating you and your family well.
    There’s some turbulence at my new job. I am in training, it’s difficult, and has brought up a lot of insecurities in myself. I like the job, despite this, but the insecurities coming up I feel are so deep. I want to succeed at my job but when I am at work I feel like I’m 12. I can’t believe I’m feeling this way. Ugh.

    How do I change this energy?

    Thank you, Troi.

      Hello Maureen,

      Good to hear from you. I sort of know what you mean, I always felt like a kid at work – in my case I think it’s because I’m short!

      I’m using the The Good Tarot by Collette Baron-Reid. It’s a very positive and encouraging deck. Your card is the Queen of Water (Cups). It’s a beautiful card depicting the Queen in profile with her eyes closed. She seems to be at rest under water. So your word ‘turbulence’ is apt.

      The keywords/phrases given are: compassion, emotional security, generosity, self-love, self-care, and healing.

      I think you may be too hard on yourself. Perhaps expecting too much? As if you thought you would make and immediate impact, but you feel you haven’t, so are piling on the self-blame. This card indicates that you have to make your best effort, but let everything else wash over you. You will be able to increase your authority over time. You need some soothing mantras, such as, ‘Everything is easy for me’, and ‘all in good time’. That doesn’t mean you can let anyone push you around, mind.

      The base card is the Moon. Another watery card and one that is connected to cycles. Again, it tells you that your time will come. Have patience and live by your gut feeling and intuition.

      It’s all going to be fine.

      Bxxx

      Hi Tina, sorry for the delay.

      I’m using the gorgeous Light Seer’s Tarot and your card is the Seven of Pentacles. We see a young man tending a plant. There are rays of light coming from his hand to the plant. We can see the root system and seven brightly coloured mandala-like circles within the roots.

      When the Seven of Pentacles shows up in a relationship reading, it generally means that one of the partners is experiencing a low-level dissatisfaction. Not necessarily with the other partner, but with life in general. They feel as though time is passing and they are not fulfilling their potential. There’s a sort of restlessness going on.

      It points at an approaching crossroads. The choice is to keep going, nurture and improve what you have, or bail out and move on. I can’t tell you which way you or he will decide to go. That’s a personal decision and the way to work it out is through a lot of honest communication. I will tell you that this card indicates that you have a relationship which is well worth tending and growing.

      The card at the base of the deck is Strength. A woman with a half female, half lioness face holds a lamb. The card shows that you need to draw on the quiet core strength within. Whichever partner needs the support of the other, should be able to get it. There should be compassion, patience, serenity and just enough passion to reignite feelings between you.

      I hope it all goes well and you get things back on track.

      Hi Pen,

      I am using the Good Tarot by Collette Baron-Reid and your card is the Queen of Water (Cups). It doesn’t answer your question at all. The Queen of Cups is a personality card and represents emotional connections, empathy and intuition. As a person she is kind, open-hearted and quietly passionate. I can’t connect her to a house move or money at all. She has a positive outlook and may have appeared to tell you to be like her: hold the idea of positive energy within and pretty soon your outer circumstances will change to reflect your inner state.

      The card at the base of the deck is Patience (Temperance). This card is more helpful and indicates that what you want is highly likely but you have to have patience. It will happen, but circumstances, people, and energy have to move into place. As Temperance, it confirms that there is a good and positive energy around you and your desires.

      Hope it works out for you, Pen. Good luck.

      Hello Flo, all well here, thank you for asking.

      I’m using a new deck called ‘The Good Tarot’. It’s really pretty. Your card is the Fool. A young girl stands in an ethereal landscape with the sun behind her. There are fireflies and/or faerie all around her. She’s blowing on a French horn.

      The Fool is the traveler of the tarot and shows that you are at the beginning of a spiritual journey. She doesn’t indicate a reunion at this time because this next stage of your life must be experienced alone. Be guided by the signs and your own intuition. Don’t look too far ahead – there is much to learn and experience in the current moment. You have to ‘let it be’. Be prepared to change direction, to answer the call. Keep your heart and your options open. There’s no point in shutting down your horizons to focus on one person who is not available.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Seven of Water (Cups). A woman sits in the center of some exotic ocean plant beneath the waves. Around her float various sea creatures and she is clearly meant to choose, but she cannot. She has many opportunities but is unable to decide what would make her happy and fulfilled, so she ends up doing nothing. In answer to your question, I’d say, be careful of letting those opportunities slip past you; one of them could lead to happiness and a long term relationship.

      Hope that helps, Flo.

      Happy New year.

      Hi there, Jemma,

      I’ve decided to use the Lenormand today as they are considered more concise when used for predictions than tarot. The deck I’m using is the Mystical Lenormand.

      Your cards are the Coffin and the Child

      The Coffin is shown as an Egyptian sarcophagus, beautifully carved and decorated. This card suggests that something will (or should) come to an end. I would guess that the card’s message to you is to tell you to move on. Set the idea of a reconciliation aside; it is consuming your thoughts and energy.

      The card next to it is the Child. A young girl is swinging in a beautiful garden. There is a small white dog joining in the fun. There are also two pixies watching. The Child represents new beginnings as well as children generally. It means that once you have overcome the idea of getting back together with your ex, you will be able to embrace life with joy and good things will come your way.

      Good luck.

    1. Troi Post author

      Hi Lori,

      I’ve used three cards from the Mystical Lenormand to try and answer your question.

      1. Park
      2. Scythe
      3. House

      The park is a communal space which suggests there are more people involved in the situation you are asking about. It can also mean ‘playing the field’, meeting someone new at an event or gathering, or making a new connection.

      The scythe means that your situation will be resolved quickly. It denotes a swift, unexpected decision or rupture. When read with the previous card, it shows that it could be a public, rather than a private resolution.

      The house suggests that you will move forward in a secure manner. It means security and stability. So it is highly possible that you will feel more secure once you have worked this out, whether it is with him, or without him.

      You have to make your own mind up Lori, but, please… never make a decision on the turn of a few cards.

      Good luck. Hope you get it sorted.

    Hi there! During this awful time for all of us, I’m sure we’ve all had some time to do some thinking. As a Wiccan for the last 10ish years, I have always wanted to learn Tarot. I struggle with millions of things but never really have been able to learn. Can you read my cards yourself and tell me if I am on the right path in life? I am having such a hard time, being a SAHM and teaching my kiddos online because I’m scared to send them to school, which in turn has decreased my ability to do things on my own time. Thanks a million!!

      Hi Amanda,

      As someone who voluntarily took our kid out of school when he was six, and never sent the youngest to school at all, I am a huge proponent of home education. Best thing ever for us. We did it for 10 years until the eldest went to college (he’s now a lecturer himself). The youngest followed him and is in the middle of a music production degree. I never taught them anything much but both were accepted at college at 15 and both skipped years. Our daughter enrolled at Level one (for those with no previous school qualifications) and within two weeks she was moved up to Level 3 with 18/19/20 year olds. She’s 19 now and on the second year of her degree.

      So have confidence and also have the confidence to let them direct their own education. I promise you, they can’t NOT learn. Every day is a new learning opportunity. Let them get on with it while you do your thing.

      The best way, I found, to learn tarot was to do proper readings. I volunteered with the American Tarot Association (even though I am in the UK) and did endless one and three card readings after my son went to bed. I had my book in front of me and described every card in detail (that teaches you so much). Pretty soon I didn’t need the book and I went on to set up the first version of this site.

      I’m using my new deck, the Vice-versa Tarot and your card is the Queen of Swords. The Queen sits on her chunky stone throne. She wears silvery-grey armour and a flowing light blue cloak. Her hair is white and long, although she looks young. She holds her sword upright in her right hand, while the left rests easily on the arm of the throne. There is mist all around. The card has appeared the ‘right’ way round.

      The Queen of Swords is usually a real person who is influential in your life. She is highly intelligent, honest, loyal, and courageous. While she doesn’t answer your question directly, she tells you to be honest about your decisions. She also advises you to be true to yourself – you can’t always live for other people. As a role model, she is very direct, assertive, and doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Her life is sculpted to find the right balance between her various obligations.

      The card at the base of the deck is the Two of Wands. A man stands on castle ramparts looking out. He is dressed very well in red and gold. A gold sphere floats above his right hand. This card has appeared in its reverse view, i.e. we’re looking directly at the man, not from behind him.

      Usually this card means having grand plans in place but not being ready to execute them. However, when it appears this way round, it suggests that you look beyond those plans to a higher, more spiritual outcome. It kind of means that you should move forward with your plans, but only if you really believe in them. In other words act from a position of love, not from a ‘I need (or should) to do this’ perspective. Does that make sense? Can you put these two together and make them meaningful to you? So it’s up to you to make your current path be the right one for you.

      Best of luck, Amanda, both with the home schooling and your tarot reading.

      Hi Maureen,

      Yes, Clover is sweet and so apt. I’ve heard people say that Lenormand is very literal and accurate. I still have to learn how to ‘unlink’ my tarot viewpoint.

      I’m no astrologist, so I can’t help you with your question. I certainly wouldn’t forgo accepting the job offer because of the retrograde. I would consider that it is working in my favour.

      Hope it all works our beautifully.

    I may have a new job opportunity in my field of plant design. The new opportunity pays 10 thousand plus more, and will further my skills. Ive only been w my current employer for 10 months. The last few years have been erratic as far as stability and work goes, so I am hesitant to jump ship again.

    What do I need to know about this opportunity? And if you don’t mind would you please use the Lenirnand cards? I absolutely love them!!

      Hey Maureen, glad to know that you are doing well.

      I will use the Lenormand – mine is the Mystical Lenormand. And… I haven’t absorbed this system yet, so I’ll be referring to my book.

      Your two cards are Clover (2) and the Lady (29)

      The Clover card in this deck is depicted as three clover flowers with faces and pink petal hair. At their ‘feet’ are two ladybirds (I know Americans call them ladybugs). It’s a pretty card.

      Clover symbolizes luck and good fortune. It often heralds a positive change in circumstances.

      The second card, the Lady, shows a beautiful, dark-skinned woman in a yellow floral dress, petting a piglet.

      The Lady represents the seeker of the answer, i.e. you.

      The two cards read as a combination: a fortunate woman who has her financial feet on the ground. She is aware that money is good for her because of the practical benefits of living comfortably. She has an eye for a bargain or a good deal. She’s generally kind and good spirited and willing to take a risk.

      When read in the context of work, it means a promotion or new opportunity headed your way.

      My take: Well the opportunity is already in your near future and these two cards tell you to take it. Weigh up all sides though (I’m a cautious Capricorn), don’t make your decision based on the turn of a card or two. Maybe use the reading as confirmation of your instincts?

      Good luck, Maureen. Let me know how it goes.
