Hi, I've posted my reading on "your reading" section but no one answers - I guess the question is too long:)) But I would still like to ask you, maybe here you will be more ready to answer:))If not, maybe the message is: stop asking and be on your own:)) But I will try anyway:) What do you think of 7 of swords if I ask about how a person feels about me? And if I ask how he sees me, I get Queen of cups? The question is more complicated, but no one responds to my reading - so I've decided to ask you what bothers me the most.:)) Thank you if anyone replies.

How about~ Use strategy in nurturing emotional truths. 7 swords~ he is thinking with... Queen of Cups~ mixed emotions

wind... Hm, I'm afraid to say it doesn't look that positive to me. 7 of swords implies intentions to deceive or cheat to me. Even if we do not take such a negative reading, 7 of swords can hardly represent "honorable intentions". Factor in the Queen of Cups. Not as bad as page of cups considering the 7 of s, but queen of cups isn't exactly a sharp lady. I don't mean she's not intelligent for she's got super intuition... but she's not the type able to call ppl on their bs like the queen of swords. The q of c's compassion seems a weakness given this combination of cards - the image may be of someone who is easily controlled - a pushover. The two cards together I find do not bode well.

Just off the top of my head, what I see here is that he feels you are unpredictable and prone to making startling and even, to his way of thinking, irrational moves, based not on concrete facts but on your feelings and intuition. Sort of how my scientist husband sees me! Could be either positive or negative looked at in this light--my hubby thinks I'm fascinating (or an outright lunatic some days), because he could never dream up some of the things I come up with...

7 of Swords (and I DID look at your reading) is not a good card to get. If he thinks of you at all, he is thinking of what he can get from you, not of what he wants to do for you. You keep asking about that because you want it NOT to be true. Well, the cards don't lie, sorry. Queen of cups is a good card: he sees depths in you. He isn't sure what you think. It is a card of respect. But show me cards that say he wants to nurture you or plumb your depths. I don't see them in the reading!

Thanks everyone! Yes, I quess you are right...It is difficult to see it, because he was very very generous towards me, helping me (even financially), but the reason why we parted was because he wasn't ready to commit more. I get a lot 6 of pentacles, too - I guess this card shows this generosity. He says he likes to talk to me, he likes my "wisdom":) Usually I am the one who goes deep and shares that with him, he mostly listens. But that is his position: he wants to continue this taking from me, he wants that I continue to share my depths with him, but he is not ready to give himself more, to commit more, to be with me more. That's why we split, I couldn't stand it. The reason why I cannot (or do not want) see what cards are telling me is because he's is nice, helpful and I still see him in a very positive light, and I feel a lost a good friend. That's why I needed your help with interpretation, I cannot get out of my projection. I cannot read cards for myself. I just feel like some filter is put accross my eyes, blocking the vision:) So, thanks for your thoughts!
