Anyone want advice... from the Tarot? I know this is on /x/ but surely dispensing advice is still Jow Forums. Two simple rules:
>give as much background info as possible (it helps me) >better to avoid yes/no questions
Keep in mind Tarot can't give timeframes like "when will X happen?" I will be using a three-card spread for efficiency's sake. Upon request I'll post pictures of your spread
I was watching a video on tarots yesterday. It's pretty cool, and they look really nice.
I'll ask the most basic bitch question. What can I do to improve my relationship?
[also pls post pics, I'm mostly asking because I like the look of cards]
William Jenkins
Will I ever meet a nice man to settle down and be happy with?
Grayson Scott
Oh fucking dope. Fellow tarot reader here Can you do a spread or pull something on love life advice for me? Do i need to cut a bitch out?
Michael Carter
No thanks - I get all my advice from Ouija Boards.
Robert Ross
Personality of the guy i'll settle down with?
Lincoln Rogers
The details will clutter the thread so simplified.
I am wondering how my ex is doing. There are residual feelings on both sides and I think he wants to see me and talk to me but is hesitant because of our complicated history. There was a lot of misunderstandings and trauma and emotions and we don't want to be apart but it feels like neither of us can help the other calm down and open up to us again. So just wondering about that.
I know tarot is just basic readings but I did it once before and it was rather spot on so for comfort I am asking again I guess.

You guys are brought together by what your ideas of an amazing relationship should be but is no longer there, and in its current state is lacking in emotional fulfillment... in order to avoid a breakup you guys will have to address what you thought the relationship would be versus how it currently is, and what you need to do for each other (that you aren't doing) to make you happy. Tarot suggests that individually you guys are happy but together you are not.
That's actually pretty accurate, thanks user. Very kind. Have a good day.
Dylan Bailey
Will I get the job that I want?
Joseph Davis
The Sun - The Magician - Ace of Cups Tarot suggests that your current life is going pretty darn well, and actually the very conscious idea that you want to find a nice man is an obstacle to you. Happiness lies in focusing on what is currently going well in your life rather than worrying about romance. That is, the old cliche that you won't find a nice man until you stop looking for one. As for a concrete yes or no answer, if that's what'll make you happy then the outlook is good.
Cool! Feel free to critique any of my intereptations because I'm still learning. Page of Pentacles - 4 of Swords - Death (reversed) Re: cutting the person out, looks like you're currently focused on your own pursuits (possibly scholarly), while they are more focused on finding themself and keeping to their own little corner; your life is more put together than theirs at the moment and they're a little more self-centered. Looks like you shouldn't cut them out entirely but it's time to shake things up somehow. Status quo is not an advisable place to be at the moment
Cameron Murphy
I've been unemployed for a long time and have been self-learning some skills to get the job I want. I've been applying for two months and still nothing. What can I do to improve?
Adrian Bell
I met someone more shy than myself. I don't know how to talk to them, and they don't know how to talk to me. I don't know if that's out of choice or they really don't want to mess up. I don't know what to do. I really like them, but perhaps it wasn't the right time? I don't want to let go, but I don't know what they want. It's difficult and I want to understand. I want to love. But I don't think either of us know how.
Joshua Mitchell
Thanks Excellent job at interpretting into actual advice, a lot of readers have trouble relating to the real life circumstances of the querent Dope reading, thanks
Austin Richardson
Thanks for this. And it reflects what everyone in my life keeps telling me (my life is going well, appreciate what I have, etc). Settling down would make me happier. I want someone to share things with.
Evan Rivera
I pulled a single card if you don't mind. The Hermit (reversed) Will be a guy who doesn't know what he wants in life, isn't really in touch with his aspirations. Not from lack of ambition, but just really being rather lost in life. You are likely going to have a huge influence on his life in this regard, whipping him up into shape so to speak. You'll be more put together than him by the time you settle down
Julian Robinson
6 of Swords (reversed) - 7 of Pentacles - King of Swords You've left the relationship very reluctantly and as time is going on you're really starting to doubt if it really was for the best (sorry, obvious I know but hey that's the card). Your ex is currently focusing on his career now and/or anything else that he had put on hold or neglected while you two had been together, and waiting to see how that is panning out. The best course of action is to follow what you know is the rational thing to do, even if it seems harsh, ex. cutting all contact. I don't see emotions playing an important role at all (guidance-wise) in this reading.
Thanks, I hope it helps! Best of luck.
Ah, not at all, but I appreciate it. I was struggling with what more to extract from Page of Pentacles but I couldn't. I wasn't happy with my reading but I'm glad you liked it.
Keep focusing on what's going well in your life and develop it even further, the energy will be incredible.
James Gonzalez
I posted this before to you I think before never got an answer. I’ve been seeing this guy for a few months now and it’s been a very confusing relationship for me, however I’m starting to like him more and more lately. I want to know what the future has in store for us.
His initials are JB
Liam Roberts
Lost my old internship in marketing because my boss wasn't satisfied with my work and how I did things in general. Currently looking for a job in the same sector. What can I do better next time?
Jason Lewis
I ended a 5 year relationship because it was getting very serious (we are 26 and 30 yo), the last months have been rough for both of us and I noticed myself looking for other girls. Two months have passed, I've tried seeking other girls but it didn't work out and I'm confused. On one hand I'm good by myself but she is also trying to get back together and it's kind of working.
My question is, how will I find balance?
Jeremiah Young
That's so interesting. Well we weren't actually together for long but with other people, so we were apart and I know for sure he put his dreams aside for empty and painful relationships, and that he is trying to better himself this past year, which I assume was pursuing his dream career, and wants to present himself in a cool way to me when I am ready.
Rational thing I should do.. well I realized I need to get myself together emotionally if I want any chance of seeing him again, and that the time I've taken is crucial, and that I need to push a bit more to do that.
Thanks for this The readings are really cool
Hunter Gomez
I’m in search of omens for my upcoming trip. Sixth months of hiking, in harsh conditions, unsupported. If successful, this will be my little mark in history. What am i to expect oh wise cardsman?
Jason Ward
I don't want advice so much as I'd like another perspective. Tarot cards are good for that.
My ex is marrying the girl he cheated on me with. Enough time has passed since we've broken up that I feel like I shouldn't have sad or jealous feelings about this anymore. I'd like another perspective on this to help put these feelings to rest.
Should i quit my job before the trial period is over?
Connor Martinez
Page of Swords - Ace of Wands - 9 of Pentacles (reversed) Right now you haven't been careful enough with what's right for you e.g. shotgunning job applications. Wait until you have that specific idea of "this is the exact company I want to work for" or particular posting that speaks to you with 100% certainty. And you're still slacking off in general, you could be doing better, and don't focus on salary either.
6 of Wands (reversed) - 10 of Wands (reversed) - 3 of Wands (reversed) Based on the Tarot all the cards point to you lacking an important qualification, for example a degree. Although it's good as a motivator, you're spreading yourself too thin as a result. Focus your efforts on one thing. Like only applying for today, only studying today, that kind of thing. The next job you get might not be proportional to the amount of effort you're putting in now. When that time comes you'll have to decide whether it's worth it or not to settle
Zachary Taylor
You don't deserve her Let her find a man who wants something serious. If you get back together you'll be hurting her in the long run
Owen Taylor
No shit, that's why I left her. Also not my question
Juan Wood
I am not tarot but you have a right to feel bad about it. Those feelings would be valid and understandable. What a horrible thing you ex did to you. Keep in mind the saying "how you get them is how you'll lose them". High chance he will cheat on her too.
Jaxson Rogers
Let’s see what’s in the cards
I get super nervous once a relationship starts going well. The initial few times meeting up is super easy and chill, but once I think I like someone and they like me I become a nervous wreck. I don’t display it outwardly, but I’m dying on the inside especially when I’m not around them. What should I do to overcome this?
Nathan Martinez
8 of Pentacles - 8 of Swords - 6 of Pentacles (all reversed) Your current attempts to lay the groundwork for good communication are not the right approach. Meanwhile she/he is feeling stuck in their current situation/life but not necessarily in the relationship. It looks like the relationship is leading to a state where only outside help can have any effect. So according to the Tarot I'd say seek that outside help now. Or find that outside influence, factor, person, activity/whatever that can get them out of their shell with you
Sebastian Bennett
Hope you're right.
Alexander Hughes
Sorry to hear that! I don't think that was me, though, I haven't made a thread like this in years, since I was last into Tarot. Anyways: Queen of Cups - Knight of Pentacles - Wheel of Fortune (reversed) Sounds like any confusion may come from his wanting to take things slow and cautiously, possibly based on either his own strong principles or something that's happened in the past. Looks like the relationship will continue to be confusing; that although it's still possible you'll find it fulfilling, it will be very different from what you have come to expect relationships will be like. Expect big big ups and big big downs. As for you, try to understand him more from a rational viewpoint as opposed to emotional to potentially get some clues.
Ethan Robinson
OP here, gonna take a shower and I'll be back. I'll answer all questions that have been posted so far but probably no more after that, terribly sorry.
Camden Kelly
King of Pentacles - Knight of Wands - Queen of Pentacles (reversed) You've got a good sense of it, you're pretty in touch with how to present a put-together product but you're also too headstrong to really accept alternative paths. Advice is to reel in your ideas more and definitely prioritize with what they want out of you than what you think they'd want out of you. Also, for what it's worth, Pentacles is a suit that is often associated with finances so it's interesting the king and queen showed up in your strengths and in the advice section. So your current focus, while definitely on the right track and mindset, is also too strong.
King of Pentacles - The Fool - 2 of Wands I don't know if you're the older one but Tarot seems to indicate that you are. You're financially secure and more stable, you know what you like (but maybe not what you want), while she is still rather naive and still overall focused on living in the moment and taking life as it comes. To find balance you have to consider: outside of love and a relationship, what is it that you want out of life the most? How well or where does she fit into that? Let that guide your approach.
Angel Sullivan
I'm actually the younger one, thank you anyway
Juan Reyes
You need to make a clear itinerary for each day instead of having vague goals or destinations. Beware of a sudden sight that makes you think "hey I should check that out, I'll go off course/plan today." If you get a sudden strong urge or idea it's going to lead to bad times.
6 of Pentacles - 5 of Swords - 10 of Pentacles I'm assuming that you've consulted your friends about this as well, and Tarot suggests that advice is right on the nose and you should continue to follow it. There's a lot of negative energy still coming from him, that's true, but continue cultivating the relationships you know are worth it for you. Treat yourself to something nice soon, and really reach out to someone whom you're close with or respect but haven't seen in a while. You'll find more guidance from them.
Nathaniel Bennett
Will my relationship actually work out? We’ve known each other for 9 years and we’ve been dating for a little bit less than 6 months, we’re planning to move in together next year. I’d just like a second opinion I guess, never done tarot before
Lincoln Lopez
My bad. I hope the rest of the reading is still helpful.
3 of Swords - 10 of Cups - 10 of Swords You're very in touch with your emotions, a bleeding heart if you will. You're getting too caught up in the idea of this person being "the one" or just being serious in general. You're looking too far out in the future and you're sabotaging yourself as a result. Try your best to treat the person more like a friend (of course not completely platonically) but you're focusing too much on the romantic and life aspect of potential partners. An ideal partner is your best friend too.
Joshua Garcia
op pull 3 cards for me pls
Colton Ross
OP here, all right, this is the last one.
3 of Swords - Queen of Cups - The Sun You crave the closer, even more intimate companionship that naturally comes after having known someone for 9 years. She is really in tune with her emotions and knows exactly what she wants from the relationship as well. According to the Tarot both of the desires you are bringing to the relationship are exactly the right ingredients, and the outlook is quite excellent. See pic as it is your "where your relationship is headed" card
Again, thanks again to everyone for asking your questions. I will probably do more in the future with the same OP pic and title. I hope the advice was helpful and thank you for the help practicing!
I will be starting an internship at a hospital soon. What will the general experience feel like?
Aiden Young
Sure since I won't have to read them, lol:
The High Priestess (reversed) 8 of Wands 6 of Cups
Jonathan Brooks
makes sense thanks op
Jackson Bell
Hey OP, dunno if you're still doing readings I'd just like to know if my live is going in the right direction and if I'll get a gf soon I'm in my early 20s and currently a student
Jace Carter
do me.
Jonathan Morgan
Hey OP, I hope you're still here to give me a love/general reading and answer mine.
I want to know what my future is going to be like. I'm turning 19 in just a few months and I want to get my life together.
I'm planning to get a job to support my poor family, but the thing is that I can't take any job that requires physical work because of my disability— having incredibly weak limbs and being stuck in a wheelchair. So far, the only thing I'm somewhat good at is drawing. My skill is not completely beginner level, but I don't think it's anything near to professional level either. I'm afraid that I don't have much options when it comes to seeking a job and I'm not sure if it's even worth to pursue a career in art, given that a lot of artists are struggling to earn a sufficient amount of money to support themselves, so I might study Psychiatry, Botany, or Pharmacology as an alternative plan.
I have to remind myself that I can't always be dependent on my family, especially knowing that my parents will be retired from work once they reach a certain age. I was told by my mom that it would be better if I were to find someone whom I could spend my life with. I'm currently in a long distance relationship with a guy near my age and things are going fine so far although he seems to be struggling with mental/emotional issues and he's far needier emotionally. I'm afraid that I might become a burden to him. What will most likely be the outcome of everything? What should I do to improve my life?
Adrian Garcia
OP, if you still do:
18 and started back-and-forth messaging with someone since Christmas from finding an old email by chance. The last few physical experiences with her were uncomfortable and my interests were in other things, that and everyone knew I was shy and introverted. First message featured ventilation about the changing of my problems and mentality and we met again in an online game. After that I send another text which also involves me venting again in response to the text being called boring. I'm realizing that I'm overreacting a lot, I was diagnosed with GAD last year.
Your suggestions on how I approach messaging my friend? I'm mentally exhausted from messaging and a new perspective is welcome before I consider continuing therapy. I fear I'm being aggressive.
