energetic discussions about your dreams and aspirations. It might have been arguments, too, but here with the Stars and the 6 of wands coming up, I think it just means you will be full of life and creativity and there will be a success.

Week 2: 8-14
LILY + WHIP
Fool

I think it continues from the first week, and if there was too much complacency taking place at the beginning of the week, slowness, it will be sparked up by the Whip. Could of course also relate to either arguments in the family or meeting a sexy (older) male. lol
Whatever it is about there will definitely be a new beginning, plunging into something new, being independent, starting over/ new and being very energetic.

Week 3: 15-21
COFFIN + TREE (clarifier: mountain)
Tower

ouch, sorry about that. Well I think after that brimming start to february you will hit a bump, with Tree and mountain as clarifier, maybe things will surprisingly slow down.
Of course it also could be about major depression, but with Mountain I just think it is a delay, some obstacles. Something will end for good, maybe also something that has been brewing on for a while, but the destruction of the old will make a path for something new.
Maybe it will be that week that you realized you have something in the past left behind for good by the way your life was processing (and you did not become aware before)

Week 4: 22-28
TREE + LILY
Hermit

yes, the surprising jolt of the week before, or awareness of it, will lead into a period of withdrawing to process things, but with Lily in there, even though nothing much seems to happen on the outside, I think it is a positive sign,t hat a deep reflection process will lead into very fruitful consequences.
A period of peace, though more withdrawal from the world. for now at least.

overall:
BIRDS + HEART
2 of swords

All of this seems to be related to the emotional sphere, and maybe a potential lover coming into your life, but for some reason you try to close your eyes to him and cross your heart, so to speak.

Week 1: February 1-7
-> devil (5 of cups) 6 of pents (hierophant) 8 of wands and 4 of pents
I don't think that you are going to ask for money or that you are paying back a credit. I think that week is about false apologizes. The hierophant could be an indicator for "school." I think there will be false excuses, a hypocritical "forgive me" and you will be refusing to accept that resp. being reluctant to show what you are really thinking.
Yes, i think in that week you will be trying to make peace with someone but it won't come from heart and others (probably from school) will do the same. Lots of things will happen but you will stay a bit stubborn. Maybe there will be a "tombola" or something and you will be reluctant to take part or experience reluctance

week 2, February 8-14:
10 of cups (5 of wands) 2 of swords (ace of pents) magician (page of swords) 4 of swords and 7 of pents
-> all in all happy private life and at work the same vibrations. But there will be a bit of a struggle regarding some plans/misunderstandings, you will have to decide, probably regarding a contract (could be both work related and private) and you will find a great solution for that, a solution you didn't think before. After that literally peace will take place and you can go on with your work and daily life in peace

week 3, Feb 15-21
-> moon (clarifier: 4 of swords) queen of wands and the world (clarifier: devil) and queen of cups and the chariot
I think in that week you will come to terms about your own feelings, your inner self and mediate about that. Leading to feel free again and to enter a new cycle free from deception, wrong paths and lies. After that you will feel happy and energetic again

week 2, february 22-29
->temperance knight of wands (6 of swords) death (9 of wands) queen of wands and page of wands and 2 of cups
Okay, first all will be fine. I think later in February you will be learning about an end of a project. I am not sure what kind of project but i think you have waited for a long time. This will definitely come to an end. But after that you will be receiving news, great news and a new opportunity.

Overall:
queen of cups justice lovers (5 of swords)
-> i think in February you will be giving up on a crush or something.
That corresponds with the above. You will be making decisions for your own good, a lot of clarifications coming up in that month, but the outcome is always great you

BTW I find it interesting the 5 of swords came up, because I have noticed myself freaking out about the card before, but at the end of the day it pretty much always simply indicated very straightforward honest one-to-one talks/ discussions, a little Mercury-inSag-like but with more or less serious basis, and usually decisive.
It just struck me that for me personally the 5 of swords (and Tower) usually play out more constructive than you would expect, and never been about abuse in any way (unless we count a certain direct confrontational blunt honest approach as abusive of course. )
Another card that also seems to play out differently than to the book in my past has been the Death card, which surprised me. As it never represented "hitting a dead end", but always indicated a very deep internal process taking place, a birthing or transition process more than an actual "shut the door" aspect. Well the door usually is shut, but that has not been the main aspect about it, more sort of a byproduct or prerequisite for the transition to take place. It is shut in the respect, that there is no going back to what was before that point in time. But point being it always has been for me within my psychological development or also had it come up in friendships, not aligning with the end of the friendship per se, but a deep re-evaluation and change of its core mechanism as effect.

Just been musing about the cards here. lol
But then again my whole (emotional) life is an evercontinuing cycle of death and rebirth anyway.
And I CLEARLY can feel approaching a new phase (been sort of in the preparation-mode right now).

EDIT
Also I am aware that this is not how you might read the cards, and since you did the pulling, YOUR interpretation probably is more fitting, as I might have gotten different cards for the same question.
I just always found that intriguing how there can be some individual distinctions in the meaning of the cards, while staying within the range of meaning of course.

---

no, i would never say that my interpretation is more fitting. Surely, i am the reader and often in my spreads cards differ from the traditional meanings but i would never say that I am always right. Actually, i've found out that different interpretations can be valid for the same spread- my intuition, the traditional meaning and the meaning for the questionnair.

yes, the tower is a "dangerous" card- in the traditional meaning. But in my experience, it also can be "falling in love" - "being shaken" or going through an inner development. It's not just about being devastated. Also, the 5 of swords is about giving up - about something that did you harm in the past.

Not in an accusatory way, but just giving the mom the advice to have him have a medical checkup (and advising her to take better care of her son - he is at the moment living on his own in a house nearby, and the parents spend most of the week in another city, and that particular 16 year old is NOT equipped to live alone. I mean what 16 year old really is? Anyway I can see how this talk will be a little difficult and troublesome and probably coming with false promises and explanations and justifications)

ah, this fits. the devil is also about drugs and lying....grr...wow, that is serious neglectment. No 16 year old should live on his own. No wonder he takes drugs

I didn`t mean to invoke the impression I was trying to weigh up my interpretation against yours.
I share your view that there are probably very different interpretations that might fit the same spread equally.

However what i was musing about (just triggered by the spread you did, but not as a response to it), is how the cards probably answer our questions to our understanding, so that our interpretation fits them.
Which means that the same question and same answer might result ind ifferent cards depending on the readers and their own views. Do you understand what I mean?

"But in my experience, it also can be "falling in love" - "being shaken" or going through an inner development."
Yes, to me it usually represents that. Especially if followed by 2 of cups or Knight of cups or something similiar, the falling in love is often there (not when the tower follows those cards though - order is important in this instance as it seems).

" Also, the 5 of swords is about giving up - about something that did you harm in the past."
Yes, that would make sense. I also saw it that way, too.
Just it never really had that as a real-life-result for me.

Though of course maybe it could have been like that, too, but not isolated.
The events I remember it always coincided with me being extremely, uncharacteristically, confident, honest and connecting with other people (communicatively I mean), in a very straightforward, cut-through-the-crap kind of way. No beating around the bush, no long or methaphorical words. Say what I mean. Mean what I say. Usually short, too.

But the thing about giving-up-something is not wrong either if I recall these occasions. As BEFORE that actual communication I did make the conscious decision to change my way of communicating, or communicate in a way that seemed a little "uncharacteristic" (as I usually am more of the diplomatic, even vague kind sometimes), but usually this decision was made because of my dissatisfaction with how I was behaving / communicating before, and pushing myself to change it. So yes, indeed, I was giving up on something I guess. my unsatisfactory way of communicating mostly.
It`s that feeling behind it usually of: "I am so fed up with all that game-playing and guessing-games. Let`s talk business for once!" lol

Will see about that

For you I pulled some strong cards. February seems to be a highly charged month.

You start off the month on a "me first" kind of attitude. You are set off to win just about any argument that comes your way, even using mischievous ways to do so. There will definitely be some arguments but you just kick them in the knee. The Fool coming after it makes you feel happy and victorious and pretty nonchalant.
I think it's all work related.
It seems thou that as the old saying goes " karma is a b*itch", because after the wonderful feeling of invincibility, someone will try to stab you in the back. I feel this is also work related. And money related. And a block to a creative endeavor.

The next cards Devil- Tower-Knight of Wands speak of strong emotions. You will be quite taken/fall for all of a sudden for a charming man. The Devil and the Tower tells me that most likely this romance is impossible.

At the end of the month you will feel exhausted by too many emotions and battling too many battles. It's all good, thou. Just tired.

posted January 24, 2016 11:18 AM            

some strong cards for you too.

It seems that the month starts with some sort of disappointment that will leave you turned upside down. 9 of swords ( The Tower + 4 of Pentacles). You are holding onto something that may turn out to be disappointing to you.
5 of Swords shows that you may feel like battling an impossible battle, it's just too much for you to deal with having in mind that you want to win this battle so bad. You may even decide that the battle should be just ended for it is not worth it - Death ( King of Pentacles).
Just when you felt like all is lost, a rejuvenation /raising above the ashes happens again due to an action by a Knight of Cups (The Lovers + 7 of cups). Love strikes again.
The month ends on a fast paced note, as if things happen all at once.

9 of Swords (The Tower) - 5 of Swords - Death (King of Pentacles) - Knight of Cups (The Lovers + 7 of Cups) - 8 of Wands

posted January 24, 2016 01:08 PM            

your cards

9 of swords (Devil) - Stars - King of Wands - 7 of Pentacles - 9 of wands (Knight of Cups)

the month might start with you worrying and having some nightmares, possibly about an obsession, compulsion or feeling too "tied down", could be in a sexual sense, too. Someone asking too much commitment all at once?

But things will look up, and heal again. King of WAnds is in the centre of the Spread, An Aries?
at least a charismatic, passionate, enthusiastic male, possibly wanting a committed and fiery relationship, but there will come a waiting period, some sort of stand still, and you might feel a bit defensive (with the 9 of wands), maybe also waiting for a proposal. Hmm, seems you will want that commitment after all, at least when it is based on true feelings.
