Hi everyone,
I am new to Tarot and am hoping the you all can help me interpret these cards in the context below  I have been feeling as though I need some guidance as to whether or not to pursue something (romance related of course, lol  ), so I found a simple "Should I or Shouldn't I" spread for advice and tried it out. Overall, I think I understand the message, but because I'm emotionally involved I thought I'd ask what unbiased eyes see in a few of the cards here.Will I be happy if I continue to pursue this? King of Wands So, right off the cuff I know that this is not addressing "Will I be happy with the OUTCOME if I continue to pursue this", but because the outcome involves someone else and nothing is ever set in stone, I thought I would only address my focus right now and let the outcome remain unknown. I want to say that this is him - I've noticed in readings by others as well as in my own, he often comes up as either the Knight of Wands or the King. That being said, I have no idea how to interpret him in this position. Or maybe it isn't him and the cards are saying that I should continue to let my "vision" guide me and basically go for me in a different situation? Will I be happier if I let go and walk away? 8 of Cups I have seen many interpretations of this card as "disappointment", which I would of course feel if I chose to walk away. I also see this as saying that, though I would be disappointed and likely emotional about abandoning this "venture", that walking away would bring new insight, or perhaps herald a new chapter in my life - that I could build on past experiences and hopefully make it work next time. Overall Advice: Empress Hmmm, would this card suggest that I need to be more nurturing? Or that I should express myself more? Thanks for any insight  IP: Logged |

What does the pursuing involve? Hanging in there or actively pursuing the male?The overall vibe for me is: walk away from any situation in which the man doesn't behave like a King of Wands and treats you like an Empress. ------------------

Thanks LeeLoo!The question is whether or not to hang on. He's going through a lot right now so things between us have cooled off massively. I totally sympathize with his situation and I understand he has to deal with some big priorities right now - I'm not upset with the situation. We still talk sporadically and I believe him when he says he misses me and that he's thinking about me, but at the same time I don't really know what that means. I'm worried that, because we aren't talking as much, I'm living in my own head rather than reality - I'm worried I'm only seeing what I want from the situation right now. Maybe we're just meant to stay friends because there's so much that we would need to overcome for a romance to be possible. So you see the cards as advising me to walk away because he isn't focused enough on me/developing something with me? IP: Logged |

For a clear answer, I would use a clarifier on those cards 
For example 8 of cups is descriptive for your question. Many spreads start with a descriptive part and then you need a card that says walking away (8 of cups) is good for you ( a positive clarifier) or not ( a negative clarifier)But I think the cards suggest what I said, this is however what I generally think of male-female interplay  so I may be tampering with the interpretation. I don't see walking away here, since you are friends, more like not putting your hopes too high if the guy is distant, but that is a general rule too ------------------

Yea, that makes sense. I should probably take time this week to pull clarifiers for this spread - hopefully that will help Thank you for the information and I'll definitely keep in mind what you said. It's good advice regardless IP: Logged |
