Wow you definitely hit it right on the head, because we are exactly that! Yes the 9 of pentacles is me. I have created a comfortable lifestyle currently where I am at (6 hours by car away from him) and I AM wondering if uprooting from the life I've built is the right thing to do. I didn't explain this earlier but another reason for moving is also for my family who is geographically close to him. I reconnected with him during my visit back home. Long story short, there's been quite a bit of health issue scares amongst family members and it has crossed my mind time and time again whether I should move and be with them. It would technically be the right thing to do, but it would also mean moving before my lease is up, moving my whole life in general, and big changes.
Well.. do you *have* to move before your lease is up? I mean, is there really a rush- I know you say your family members' health is an issue, but if it's between "Go, now!" or "No, I think I'll just stay here..." then perhaps you can afford to simply wait a little bit longer than "Go, now!"
The guy isn't going anywhere, being represented by the King of Pentacles afterall.
Very true once again. How did you attribute the knight of cups and fool to me? I attributed the knight of cups to him earlier, hoping that he would take the romance up a knotch and pursue me
And the fool card for a new beginnings: the move and relationship. How do you know which cards reflect whom? I do believe that everything happens for a reason and my life is more flexible than his in that I can relocate but still continue my work. Again, stunned with how you've read that. Please teach!
This 5 card spread developed after I started dabbling with Lenormand cards. Also the mirroring technique came from the Lenormand. Where cards 1 + 5 and 2 + 4 give additional info (and the middle card typically highlights an importance). Since I determined that you were the 9, I saw the Knight as reflecting part of your personality. The HP + Fool were showing that you were both waiting for the other to jump.. the King in the center showed that he was staying put and staying firm with his decision and his way of life. I knew more clearly which cards were describing who because of your description of how the two of you were separated and what had already been decided between the two of you- I wish I could give you a more magical answer than that though.
It helps a great deal, thanks! Did you create this spread? It's so awesome that I want to learn every aspect of it. I love the simplicity of it yet the depth it brings. It seems that I will have seriously look into the practicality and finances of the situation. I did another spread of when the earliest and most likely move will take place and I got 8 weeks. I guess we shall see! I'll keep you guys updated!
Yes, I made this spread in a way that it just sort of happened. LOL A lot of people were looking to spreads for timing, and that just didn't sit with me... the emphasis has always been on
how to get the cards to do what you want them to do around here and I thought...
let's just let the cards speak for themselves... I mean, why put a framework (tarot) into another framework (spread) to figure out something super-complicated like timing? Wouldn't it make more sense to eliminate one of those frameworks (spread) to make it less complicated? Yet, time and time again, people choose to eliminate tarot as the framework and use the spreads- in fact, often I see people limiting tarot by their own short-comings. Tarot is already a well-designed framework... so my opinion is that a spread was unnecessary (and maybe even more of a hindrance) to timing questions.
Anyway, my point is- all you really need to know is tarot!
And develop your own ability with the tarot "system" of how each card reads next to another. You can see the patterns that will point you right through the story and straight into the direction of timing after you get used to it. Each spread will be totally unique to the question and the person, which makes it a teensy-tiny little bit more difficult- but that's how it should be, shouldn't it? You might lose something if you try to cram every question and every person into the same kind of timing spread.
Please do keep us updated. If you have anymore questions about the spread, just ask!
