Health spread help.

[morenaxo]

Hi everyone,

I'm still new to tarot and just wanted to gain some more information and insight regarding a reading that I did on myself today. I found a 6 card health spread on here that I used as a template to get started. I am having some painful health issues that came on rather quickly this week. Being 24 years old my doctor is very concerned and working hard to figure out what is going on. My gut tells me its an ovarian or uterine cyst, maybe a fibroid as they run in my family.

This was the spread I used.

......1......
..2......4..
..3......5..
1 What do I need to know about the cause of this problem?
2 Advice for the short term (how to solve the problem right now)
3 Result for the short term (result for this particular occurrence of the problem)
4 Advice for the long term (how can I prevent the problem in the future)
5 Result for the long term (result for the problem in the future)

My cards & interpretation
1 - Hierophant - I need to not blindly rely on medical professionals but to also use my intuition and knowledge. Put my trust in God.
2- The devil - Medication will be needed or tried first.
3- The world - Traveling to another doctor or full recovery
4- Queen of Swords- Surgery is necessary (this jumped out at me immediately)
5 - King of cups - Healing after surgery

What do you guys think? I would love feedback from you guys.

Thanks!

The first thing that I notice is that your card positions and your interpretations don't match up all that well.

Position four is about advice and "surgery is necessary" - your interpretation - isn't advice. It's a prediction. The Queen as advice is more about doing what it is that you need to do to look after yourself, and putting yourself first. It might seem heartless to others that you're say, limiting your activities around them, or aren't into eating certain things that increase your pain, and yet you have to put yourself first. Otherwise there could be much pain as a result.

I also notice that while the Majors make up 17% of a Tarot deck, they make up 60% of this reading. Why do you suppose that this is?

Thank you so much for your feedback.

Your interpretation of the queen makes a lot of sense, I am a teacher so I take care of everyone all the time and sometimes forget to take care of myself.

Lately when I shuffle and read I get more majors than minors. Its either the way I shuffle or I really need to pay attention to the messages before me. This has only been happening in the last 2 or 3 reads.

1 What do I need to know about the cause of this problem? HIEROPHANT
2 Advice for the short term (how to solve the problem right now) DEVIL
3 Result for the short term (result for this particular occurrence of the problem) WORLD

Hi morenaxo, I note the same as Anemone that your interpretations don't answer your questions.

You need to know about the cause: HIEROPHANT, stucture, organisation, rigid rules, expectations and hierarchy; also teaching, school. You said you're a teacher. Have you been stressed or bogged down by bureaucracy, hierarchy or rigid rules? It could be psychosomatic, stress welling up in your gut or lower stomach.

Advice: be more selfish (DEVIL). This is a card that's about ego, me first, my needs. Have you been overlooking your own needs recently? What is it that you need but haven't got (holiday, rest, indulgence, fun, enjoyment etc.)?

Short term results are great, you'll overcome the problem in its totality, conquer it and move on (WORLD).

Long term, you must be smarter about how you organise and run your life (Q of S). Don't take things emotionally and personally, stay cool and detached when encountering problems. Find the facts, listen to the specialists, educate yourself on stress management or whatever it is that's causing you this pain.

Long term results look good. You'll feel you're being taken care of by a capable, emphatic person (K of C), or, you'll learn to manage your own emotions, health and needs in a mature, wholesome and beneficial way.

I hope this helps!

Thank you for your feedback.

I can see how all of the interpretations make sense in my situation. I also found that my "predictions" were spot on with what my doctor told me about my illness.

Thank you for being a part of my learning process.
