I love simple spreads like this too! Especially since I've just started learning, and one of the most difficult things for me is relating the cards to one another. I can come up with reasonable keywords for individual cards, but trying to connect an entire spread and vibe the cards off each other is still beyond me.
Here's what I got for this spread. I did this for myself and a friend I've had a crush on for the past two years almost (sad but true). Unfortunately he has a girlfriend but I just love torturing myself with the "what if" scenarios. And I'd really appreciate anyone & everyone's input and insights:
Card 1 (the Querent): The Universe. I see this card as being at peace with the world, and more importantly with yourself. There's a sense of completeness and fulfillment, almost like this is too good to be true. But at the same time you are able to acknowledge your blessings. That's honestly how he makes me feel.
But also, I have the Crowley deck so I don't use reversals, but I always look at the ill-dignified meanings anyway if I come across them on sites, and something I found for The Universe rang true -- "Situations drawing to a close, but not yet ended. Fear of and inability to change; fear of the unknown." This resonates with me because I'm graduating and most likely I won't remain as close, if at all, with him. And I think I'm just so used to liking him and so comfortable, I don't want to (or even know how to) like someone else and open myself up to someone like that.
Card 2 (the Dynamic): 10 of Wands. I associate this card with a heavy load, not necessarily work related but just trying to take on more than one can handle. I also think of responsibility, whether you're shying away from it or placing unrealistic expectations on yourself.
I honestly was at a loss as to how read it in this spread, so I pulled a clarification card and got The Moon. Right away I thought of illusion and losing myself in a fantasy world, my imagination. In my head I've built up this amazing idea of what him and I could have as a couple, and maybe that's what I want. Not even him necessarily, just that fantasy.
Card 3 (the Other Person): Princess of Disks. I found this - "In your readings, this Page suggests that an opening may appear that promises enrichment, comfort, trust or the chance to make your dreams real. When you see such a chance, act on it!" Is this how I see him, the chance to have the guy of my dreams?
