What happened between Will and Mack in Boston?
Note: I am a baby Tarot reader so take all of this with a huge grain salt. If you are also a Tarot reader, please repost this with your own interpretations.
3 of Pens: I think Will and Mack were trying to work on their relationship outside of hockey. They wanted to try and incorporate each other into their personal lives and their family and friend groups.
The Moon + Page of Swords Rx: At its fundamental level, this is secrets being revealed, and thoughts being expressed for the first time.
I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again. I think Will and Mack live a very different life in San Jose during the season than they do in the summer.
They’ve only really spent time with each other for two years, which is maybe a maximum of three summers including this one, where they get to see each other not in the hockey world.
I think thoughts were expressed for the first time and things that they had been holding in came out and they saw each other in a different light, both good and bad.
The World Rx: It’s funny I’ve gone back-and-forth with some other readers about “The World” card and how it can be a bunch of different things, but I think in the Boston readings, it literally means “the IIHF world championships”. It is just funny to me how the cards sometimes read in a very literal way.
4 of Cups + 10 of Wands + 3 of Cups: Mack was obviously very aware of Worlds and did not want to go. He knew he was exhausted and overburdened and really needed a break. He also knew the team really wanted him. Several people have speculated on whether or not hockey Canada offered him the captain role to come play this year.
King of Pens Rx: a father figure in his life basically pressured him to go, talking about how it would be great for his career. Obviously, this could be Rick, but it could also be his agent or somebody else in his life.
5 of Cups Rx: Even though he didn’t want to go, he committed to his decision to show up and really tried to go in with the best mindset he could and leave Will and whatever happened in Boston behind.
Clarifier - 3 of Wands Rx: whatever Will and Mack wanted out of Boston didn’t really happen because Mack had to leave too soon. Maybe they had specific plans that got delayed or they just didn’t get the connection they wanted out of it. I also think they took a bit of a break from each other after Mack left, giving each other some space.
