Hello. I'm just getting started in tarot and have a bit of confusion. I've been told by a few people that sometimes a card you pull might be reflective of your own desires and not necessarily the situation itself and I don't quite understand this.
OK, example. Let's say you're asking about the possibility of marrying a certain individual and you get the 4 of Wands as an outcome with some other promising cards in other positions. From what I've been told, 4 of Wands as an outcome could just mean that you have a strong desire for marriage, not that it is likely to occur. I would think if that were the case, this card would come up in your hopes and fears position, not the outcome. And if this is the case how do you ever know whether something is just based on your desires or if it is a direct answer to your question?
Or let's say I do two-card reading asking if a couple will reconcile and get perhaps the Two of Cups and Six of Cups. Again, could this be reflecting just a strong desire from the querent?
