Some interesting stuff going on here. The Significator's line starts well (Sun-Storks-Woman-Lilies), suggesting fortunate change that brings the Woman happiness (possibly related to family or sexual matters),
That bit is true I'm on dating apps again, and trying for a positive outlook.
but it soon descends into difficulty (Mice-Scythe-Snake-Coffin). About the only good thing about the last four cards is that Snake + Coffin can mean an end to problems, especially since both cards are strong in their own houses.
Good to know. I see how youre reading this. Youre not taking into account the houses yet.
Since the Mice diminishes whatever comes before it, and the consequences are shown by the following card, happiness could be eroded by discontentment (Lilies + Mice),
There has been stress, but mostly around dating, what person to give what chance to, to come from a place of openness, and not defensiveness.
resulting in the need to make a stressful decision (Mice + Scythe), perhaps about a serious challenge of some kind (Scythe + Snake, which I've seen described as "attack"). The Scythe's point is toward the Snake, indicating that the severity of any betrayal or deceit implied by the latter could be intensified.
Well, its wednesday, nothing of the sort has happened yet, but I'll keep an eye out for sure. At the time of doing this spread, I was thinking about asking my boss for recompensation for something, but paused because of the cards I got. Since I didnt take that course, perhaps the outlook has changed?
Since I see the Moon rather than the Fox as the primary "work" card, the series Moon-Star-Fox-Bear-Book looks to me like any hopes you may have for success in your job during this week could be derailed by a duplicitous boss who may be withholding something from you. With Fox and Bear both in their own houses, I would think that your boss has his or her own agenda and is not to be trusted.
There has been some success, my new boss (till today, Wednesday) has been quite good to me. My boss last year was awful (abusive, racist, you name it). The union has encouraged me to put in a formal grievance. I was thinking about doing the letter this weekend.
There is a coworker I am currently watching out for.
The thing that grabs me about this spread is the condition of the Woman. She is surrounded by positive and positive/neutral cards, but the knighting tells a slightly different story. The Woman knights to the Anchor and the Heart, suggesting that she is seeking stability in a loving relationship. But she also knights to the Cross and the Star, bringing to mind the poetical allusion to the "star-crossed lover;" that is, one who is fated to fail. If we discount the four bottom cards, the Woman mirrors the Letter, which is also strong in its own house; the fact that it is surmounted by the Clouds could mean it bears unpleasant news. The Woman and the Letter sit at the head and foot of a cross array that has at the extremities of its lateral arms the Cross and the Star, placing the four cards in a sensitive alignment. The Clover and the Clouds at the center of the cross indicate uncertain luck related to the contents of any message represented by the Letter.
This is interesting
First the reading method,
1. Do you always read the Cross (woman, letter, cross and star here) for a particular card you want more information on? or only for the querent?
2. Why did you read anchor + heart more as desire than eventuality? Is it because Stars is further to the right of the querent?
Comment: That Cross reading was very good.
Feedback: I am expecting two letters.
1. are important work/residency related papers, which the delivery company has been frustrating about. Hope to receive these by tomorrow. so delayed news. (clouds letter) But since Clouds is also in the house of Tower, it does indicate trouble or uncertainty with authorities. Clouds do form a link with the House of Clouds which as the scythe and Scythe links with House of Scythe which has House. Which again says confusion around home.
2. I am waiting for a message/letter/news that ought to have been sent five weeks ago. (romantic situation). I felt this week might be it. But even if I get this message, dont think it will be good news.
(house of ship)woman (house of coffin)coffin (house of heart)man
foreign woman (which i am in this country) END with man
how obvious can it get honestly.
I read the last four cards as 'fate cards'. Dont they give a taste of how the whole week will work out eventually?
Thank you for taking the time to explain the cards and the reading method BW, really appreciate it. It was very helpful and illuminating.
