Hello, everyone! It's Wednesday again ✨🔮✨

Rules reminder:

• for 24 hours (so until 3 pm GMT on Thursday) everyone can ask questions in the comments that they'd like someone to do a reading for (no limit on questions per person)


• everyone interested in doing readings picks questions to answer (prioritising questions that weren't answered yet)


• you're invited to read no matter your experience level and whether you have a physical deck or an app
  you're invited to ask questions even if you can't read tarot and won't be reading for others


• the other admins and I will go through the questions to make sure every question received at least one reading


• try to provide a picture of the cards or a screenshot from the app in addition to your interpretation - and tell us the name of the deck!

Question guideliness:

• it's generally good to avoid yes/no questions and third-party questions


• no serious medical or financial advice that could be seen as replacing expert opinion

I'm interested in a reading on my social life/friendships. Thanks! :)

[greydragonmagic]

I did a quick general 4-card problem spread for you.



I. Situation - Three of Wands
Three of Wands is a card about accomplishment combined with a continued effort in new areas. In relation to social life, it can indicate that you already have a base of strong relationships but you are interested in gaining new ones. You may be looking to get to know new people while still maintaining a strong relationship with your current friends.

II. Challenge - Death Reversed
The difficulty in your situation appears to lie in breaking your old habits. The Death card signifies change and renewal, reversed it suggests being stuck in some way. It may be that you are finding it difficult to establish new relationships because you are used to an old, mostly comfortable routine with the people already around you, making you less motivated to take the steps necessary for finding new relationships. The first card of this reading makes me think that you are already a little uncomfortable with the way things are now and are eager to bring some change into your social life. However, this card suggests that you are finding it difficult to actually make that change happen.

III. Advice - The Emperor Reversed
Upright, the Emperor is associated with structure and stability. Reversed, in this case, it seems to be telling you to invite a little instability into your routine. To bring you the necessary change, you may need to experiment for a while, try to do things in ways you don't usually consider and that way break out of the stifling sameness of which you might be getting tired. If there is something you were interested in trying for a while but were hesitant, this would be an encouragement to try it. It is also an encouragement to do what feels right and trust your intuition, you do not necessarily need to have everything rationally planned out.

IV. Outcome - Justice
Overall, a positive outcome card suggesting that everything will work out the way it should and you won't be met with any injustice. In the context of this reading, it signals a return to rationality after a period of emotional decision-making and exploration. If you believe you were treated unfairly at some point, that issue is likely to be sorted out in a fair way.

As a final note, three of the four cards I drew are majors, suggesting this is likely an important issue in your life and has the potential to bring you important changes. No major warnings here though, just an encouragement to try the things you feel like trying - good luck! I hope this was somewhat helpful.

Thanks. That does make a lot of sense. I definitely agree with the "sameness" bit and needing to change things up and try new things to try and make some new friends.

I'd like to ask where I can best focus my efforts right now to make the most impactful changes in my life.

1. Put more effort...: I pulled The Fool. I get the sense that those around you are having some difficulty understanding why you have been making the decisions you've been making lately. It's not that the necessarily disagree with your decisions, it's that they either do not understand or are having difficulty wrapping their head around your thought process. Try making an effort to let people in on your thought process and we're you're coming from. People will start to understand where you're at and where you're heading with your plans etc and feel more trusting and even support you more than some of them have been.

2. Consider: I pulled The King of Swords. You're a force to be reckoned with, and people admire and are even scared off by it. There's nothing wrong with that, but combined with your current expectations and the confusion about your thought process, there are people who are intimidated by you. Consider lowering your expectations just a little without compromising yourself or your beliefs. Put an effort into letting people get in board with where you're coming from so that they understand why you're expectations are high, at least to them, so they don't feel so pressured. Continue to be strict with those who may try to push you over when you let up, but the others who surround you will get on board with you and support your vision in different areas of your life. This will improve your personal and professional life.

3. Keep in mind: I pulled The Ace of Cups. Keep in mind that you need to focus on letting people into your thought process as much as you are comfortable with. I see something exciting coming your way by the end of the year, so keep everyone in the loop as you continue to make decisions. However, don't worry about keeping any big changes to yourself until you're ready to reveal them. There is someone who is in close proximity that will try to sour them. Open up a little, but continue to put your foot down as needed.

I hope this is helpful and relevant!

My brother kept popping by to make me watch some youtube videos (although, Pip the Magician was funny!) whenever I started to write up your second reading. I'll be writing it up and posting it this afternoon <3

[tralfamadore]

Hey, so sorry that it's taken me a few days to respond. This week has been a whirlwind and I feel like I've hardly been home, much less had time online. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate both of these readings, however. They really did resonate. I think there are some hard truths in here that I really wasn't wanting to face, but that's exactly why I asked the question in the first place. ;] What you had to say made a lot of sense, and I really do think it's been helpful. So thank you so much again!

[coffeeontherocks]

Don't worry about it! I'm glad that they were helpful/relevant. You're welcome! <3 <3 <3

[tralfamadore]

I'd also like to ask what I'm ignoring or neglecting (or just overlooking) right now that needs my attention brought back to it.

[coffeeontherocks]

I'll do your reading on this one! I'll be doing it tonight or tomorrow since I've got to stealth bust out my deck. Long short, I've got a brother who is anti-tarot and it's easier not to deal with him seeing my deck lol!

[tralfamadore]

Aw, thanks so much! And believe me, I know where you're coming from. My brother gave me my first deck for my birthday and I insisted that he not hand it to me in front of my folks.

[coffeeontherocks]

No problem! <3 It's funny because I was debating on busting out my deck now when he came by and flung the door open. There's some people we def can't handle our decks in front of let alone let them spot them! What deck did your brother give you for your birthday?

[tralfamadore]

The Wild Unknown Tarot! It's such a beautiful deck. I definitely come from a family of animal and nature lovers, so I sometimes feel like showing the cards to them and being like, "Look how lovely! See? Not scary at all." But of course I won't. ;]

[coffeeontherocks]

That's such a gorgeous deck! I've seen it around in some posts on tumblr and the art work is phenomenal. If only you could show your family members the deck! I got my first deck for my birthday when I was in middle school. It's the Halloween Tarot, which sadly went missing after I let someone borrow it!

[coffeeontherocks]

I'm back to let you know that I haven't forgotten you! Today ended up being a busy day and I never had time to do your reading. I'm going to try to do your stealth readings tomorrow, and Saturday at the latest <3

[tralfamadore]

Looking forward to it!

1. What you have been neglecting: I pulled the Seven of Wands and The Hangman. You are currently overlooking pursuing something fulfilling in your personal life. You are currently feeling restricted and I get the sense that your life is starting to feel stale. Take a step back and look at how you can bring something new and exciting into the picture. Feeling fulfilled in your personal life will reflect in other areas of your life in a positive way.

2. Other things to consider: I pulled the Ten of Wands and the Ten of Swords. You are feeling a great burden at the moment. Keep forging on and keep an eye open for other bumps in the road that will be coming. While it will be stressful, remember that something good is coming along the way, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

3. Keep in mind: I pulled The Hermit. You will get through this stressful time, and the answers will become clear soon enough. Remember to trust your gut and make time to focus your energy on different areas of your life without neglecting others.

I hope this is relevant!
