Tarot Reading

Layout of reading: Basic General Celtic Cross + Issues (10+3+3 cards)

Current Situation - 8 of Swords
There seemed to be quite a bit of troubling thoughts or lack of clarity in your current situation. A feeling of confusion, being lost, or even apathy. There is an advice here for the need to focus on something else other than pain, to know that this is not the time to be finding fault or shifting blames- focus instead on a new direction, find or formulate new goals and solutions. Do not procrastinate, get depressed or give up easily, take a good objective look at your situation and your environment, may be helpful in shifting your perspective a little.

Crossing Card - Hierophant
The hierophant here suggested that you feel bound or restricted in some ways. There are certain obligation and responsibility that you have to bear. May even be feeling stuck, unable to progress. It's easier to collapse when pressures accumulate unaware, so be careful not to overwhelm yourself, there is no need to act strong all the time. There is also no need to take control all the time, watch out for feelings of obligation and possessiveness. Give yourself permission to let go, especially when it becomes detrimental or when it no longer matters in your life.

Thoughts/ Events Crowning - Star
Quite a bit of thinking, of dreams, hopes, wishes and even aspiration. Not a bad thing, but you have to take practical steps and make practical dreams. Break down your goals into small and achieveable steps, and start working on them to turn them into reality. Do not focus too far into the future, do not negate the grandness or the possibility of your dreams. Stay in reality, but keep dreaming and focus on the one dream that you want to work on. Then take steps towards it.

Foundation - 6 of Pentacles
A couple of missed opportunity, chances to get what you wanted but you missed it. Also a sense of lack of focus, shifting attention and undirected attention. If you could have focused and were not procrastinating, may have achieved much more. One thing that you should work on, even right now in your life is- perspective. You need to pay more attention to yourself and your surroundings. Do not neglect to see what you truely have. Count your blessings, be objective, be grateful.

Past - Ace of Wands
Too much force and control applied in the past, but did not always managed to see clearly. Quite sone missed opportunities, and either poor control or misunderstanding emotion and communication wise. Must be aware of extreme thinking patterns, and not give in to impatience or rash actions. It is important to understand yourself and your own true motives to fully understand why you want the things that you do, or how to use yourself to your own best advantages.

Future - King of Pentacles
Again, try to focus on what you already have. The law of attraction states that you attract into your life what you most resonate with, in this case- what you think about a lot. If you have already had an achievement of some sort- good! Congratulations. However, is not the time to stop and rest. There is potential here for so much more. Remember though, do not let your achievement dominate your being: Be proud, but not boastful. If you have not had what you wanted to achieve so far, then get off ur butt, find a goal and start working towards it. What this card says to me is that there exists quite a fair amount of potential and ability to succeed, but a hesitant/pause in achieving that success due to the person. So, stop procrastinating, either that or stop celebrating and start towards getting that bigger goal!

Allies - Lovers
Have to make a choice of sorts, decision to be made, paths to choose. Yet, the paths are not fully clear at the moment. You need to be really sure of who you are and what you want. Seek balance, and remember- Everything in moderation! Try also to not let your judgement be affected by well-meaning people around you. Take advice but do not follow blindly. Must try to rely on yourself, think things through- do not become dependent on others.

Environment - 10 of Cups
You are actually in a pretty good place, it's pretty positive. This card denotes fulfillment and happiness, harmony, family, bliss and understanding. However, you need to learn to recognise the good things that you have around you- it's always the simplest things that are the most beautiful, and always the simplest things that people forget to give thanks for. There is also something that the cards want me to convey, which is: You are protected and loved, always. You need to know that. I'm not sure if you have ever had a feeling that something/someone was watching over you, but what I see is that if you ever had that feeling, appreciate it, and have faith in it. Just remember though, having someone wanting the best for you out there, doesn't equate to having a "get out of jail free" card. If you make the wrong choices, you'll still have to bear with the consequences of your mistake.

Hopes & Fears - 7 of Wands
Sometimes, just leave things be. No need to be in control all the time, when something is due or when your lessons are learned, life situation changes. Do not attempt to hold on at all cost, as it may become more costly to hold on to it. Seems to be somewhat fearful of something, or having a sense of impending doom/negative feelings towards something. There is a need for careful communication here- will help to see the situation better. No matter what you want, there is always a price to pay- so make sure you know what your limit is for achieving a certain goal, at what price are you willing to pay- make sure you do not lose track of that. Also, remember to watch your diet, exercise and sleep patterns, seems that you are a bit... "heaty". Could be tired or could also be other factors, but falling sick is not to your best interest, and if you can rectify that... Why not?

Outcome - Queen of Pentacles
Pretty fruitful, can get what you wanted to achieve. If you really know what you really want and is willing to work for it! Fate will be giving you a helping hand, look out for hidden (or not so obvious) opportunities. There is also an indication of a relationship. It could be romance or otherwise- but a woman is involved. Could be a romance, or a woman giving in, or gathering aid and support from her. Whichever it is, just know that you can succeed, and you should work towards that. Just remember though, this is just a reading, and your ultimate aim is to get your goals, so don't get sidetracked looking for the lady in question and delay achievement of your goals.

Current Issues: Ace of Swords / 5 of Cups / 8 of Pentacles
Need to make decisions. Choices. Commitment issues. Looking for escape in a way. Working hard. Seeing truth, need to see previously ignored issues. Disappointments. Need to take a stand.

(No need to worry too much here, was drawn to help direct my focus to particular aspects/areas of your spread.)
