What do I need to do to open myself up for improvement, to Receive the Romantic Relationship I have so longed for?
Thank you, Witchy Woman, for trusting me to read for you. I’m going to send you a small part of my reading via PM.
I chose to use as a reading cloth a piece I’m doing of a dancing woman. She is open and free, which felt right for your question. I drew the following items from my Tiny Treasures Oracle (without looking) and gently tossed them onto the dancer‘s cloth:
On dancer’s body:
-- dog
-- anchor
-- celtic knot
-- heart with blue crystal
On the background:
-- cat
-- heart-shaped cage
-- star
-- fish
-- spiral shell
-- “wishing you happiness” charm
Off the cloth to the left, behind her:
-- ram
All of the items on the dancer’s body are gathered in her lower body and legs. This feels to me to indicate that the things to work on are basic/core issues (belly) that are important for you to move forward (legs). They feel like issues that are within yourself. Whether its about healing or growing, these are things you can meditate on for the future. The first thing I noticed was that the celtic knot was in your belly. Tension, fear perhaps, nervousness. I think there are things you need to unravel before you can find love again. What they are only you know for sure, but perhaps you’ve been hurt and are holding that inside you like a belly ache. Address the hurt. Know that this is in the past. Know that you are older and wiser and stronger now. Know that to love is to take a risk. We can’t hold it all in and keep ourselves completely safe if we want to know love.
The ram is completely off the cloth and upside down, which makes me feel that this is something to let go of, to leave behind. Let go of stubbornness, of any need to force your ideas or way onto a situation. Let go of prickly needs to be the best, the fastest, the strongest. That ram can really ram ideas down your throat. If this is something you feel you’ve done, let go of it. Relationships are often about compromise. Not of your principles, not of your very SELF, but of the little things. Compromise, share, be willing to let someone else win on things that don’t really matter all that much. Don’t let the little things poison the important stuff. Also, let go of forcing yourself to be something you’re not just to attain love. Such a love would not be genuine. It is far better to be loved for who you truly are, than to pretend more interest than you have and earn a love based on something that’s not real or healthy for you.
The tiny spiral shell is immediately in front of the dancer’s outstretched arm. If feels like you’re reaching for something, perhaps the protection of the shell, perhaps the spiral that indicates repeated patterns of behavior. Since the shell is just out of reach, this may indicate something that you need to achieve before you’re ready for a true and deep love. I’m thinking of healthy boundaries. Not shields or walls, but healthy, honest boundaries. Be clear what you’re willing to do and not do. Be clear about what you’re willing to accept from your love. Learn to be clear with yourself and your partner, because being wishy-washy about boundaries can get us into all sorts of trouble, and the type of compromises that harm us.
The upside down dog and anchor perhaps means that you've a need to have faith that a relationship will not weigh you down. That you will not have to give up too much of your independence and strength. That a relationship will support your own ideals and needs, as well as form a bond of trust and sharing.
ETA: sent part of reading via PM, which we've now discussed, and I've added my interpretation of the dog and anchor.
I had to paste this from the other locked thread to reply.
give me a few minutes.
