Tea and Tarot

Hello theyhadnames,

For this, I’m just going to draw two cards for what you should keep in mind throughout the decision making process for your current state of affairs. Keep in mind that this probably won’t give you a solid, clear answer. 

While I was shuffling, The Fool and the Nine of Pentacles fell out of the deck. For actually drawing cards, I drew The Lovers and the Seven of Swords. I also felt that this question could use a rune as well (and I’m trying to get more practice with them :p) so I drew one and got Algiz. 

Wow, a lot of different cards. Starting off, in this context, the Lovers likely just symbolizes that you have a choice to work on. The Fool points to not taking the situation too seriously. The Seven of Swords represents moving forward with a cunning strategy. The Nine of Pentacles is about being self-sufficient and culmination. Algiz represents health, protection, and happiness. 

Wow, that’s a lot of words. 

I think the cards are saying that this is a decision that you can’t avoid, and you have to plan out a choice that will give you an opportunity to support yourself, be the healthiest and happiest you can, and have a sense of child-like optimism about the world. Personally, the self-sufficiency of the Nine of Pentacles would lead me to believe you should stay on your own, but the Fool and Algiz could be interpreted as going back home. 

Sorry it turned out so murky! I hope it helped make sense of your situation at least a little bit.

Hey Anonymous,

I’ll draw a card for the outcome of your college choice, and a card for the outcome of your relationship. 

For your college choice, I drew the Knight of Pentacles. This card symbolizes someone who is organized, methodical, and well thought-out. I’d say it’s a good sign for a student, as long as you make sure to relax to avoid burn-out. From this, it seems like the school you’ve chosen would be good for you academically. 

For your relationship, I drew the Ten of Cups. This card is very symbolic of happy endings and harmony. If you can both keep an open line of communication and emotional maturity, this card shows that there’s a bright future ahead. However, the tens do symbolize the end of cycles, but this is a happy end. Even if you two don’t work out, there will still be kindness between you. 

I hope this helped! Let me know how it worked out in a couple of months :)

“hey same anon, just wanted to say thank you so much for the free readings, they’re super insightful( was in a rush and didn’t get to say this on the last one sorrry)”

Hi idioteue,

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ll draw two cards for what you need to know to move forward with your family situation.

I drew the Four of Cups and Nine of Swords. I also pulled a rune on a whim and got Mannaz. 

To try to synthesize the meanings of all of these instead of analyzing them one-by-one, I would say that to move forward with your family you need to analyze messages or red flags that you’ve ignored in the past and how they affected your mental health, and go about reclaiming the knowledge of those situations. Maybe they’re memories that you’ve repressed or just avoid thinking about, but you need to see the big picture before moving forward.

I hope this helped! Feel free to send in feedback if you want!

Hiya lavvendervvitch,

You’re so sweet 💗. I’ll admit I’m having a bit of trouble understanding the situation from this ask- I’m going to proceed with my best guess which is that you have someone in your life who you want to start a romantic relationship with, and you are both friends with one of her exes who is not a great guy, and you’re wondering what your friendship with him will be like if you start dating her. I hope I got that right! I’m going to draw one card for how to proceed with your relationship with her, and one for the outcome of your relationship with her ex. 

For how to proceed with your relationship with her, I drew The Hierophant. A major theme for this card is tradition, so I would recommend not straying too far from the traditional “script” of relationships. Take her out to dinner and a movie, or something like that (or have her do that to you :p). To be honest, the Hierophant is still a bit challenging for me to understand. It sounds like you read tarot too though, so maybe you have your own ideas for this :).

For the outcome of your relationship with her ex, I drew the Queen of Cups. This is a good sign! It seems that as long as you are compassionate and emotionally mature about the relationship between you and him (i.e. open communication about you dating her, because she’s also his ex as he is hers), you should be able to maintain your friendship with him if you want to.

I hope this helped! Good luck :)

Hey marvolairty,

Sorry this took a couple of days to get to! I don’t have an excuse, I just wish Tumblr kept a notification for unanswered asks so I don’t open it once then forget about it :p. Instead of drawing cards for what your husband will be like, I’m going to draw two cards for what type of person would compliment you and help you grow (which is ideally what a husband would be like to you). 

I drew the Five of Swords and the Eight of Cups. 

The Five signifies conflict and tension, which can signify many things. The explanation that seems like the correct one for me is that the person that is healthy for you may not seem like the correct choice at first, or you may have some inner conflict about starting a relationship with them. It can also symbolize a falling out, so it may be someone you’ve already had a relationship with. 

The Eight of Cups is symbolic of someone who is a bit of a recluse, maybe to a fault. This is someone that can convince you to stay at home and have a quiet night in instead of going out and partying. Traditionally it symbolizes ignoring problems and escapism, but I don’t know if that applies here, specifically.

Overall this is someone who may not be who you expect, and who is on the introverted side. But, take this reading with a grain of salt. Trust your own gut and emotions when picking who to spend time with, instead of trusting a stranger with a deck of cards. Regardless, I hope it helped.

Hello again!

I’m going to draw cards for how to improve your relationship with this person, because I feel like that’s what this is all pointing toward.  

I drew the Page of Pentacles and the Nine of Pentacles. You’ll need to live more in the present, instead of hoping for what your relationship can be in the future. You will also need to be more self-sufficient, and focus on culminating yourself into the best person you can be.

I think, from this, the best way to approach this person about the matter is to bring it up with the mindset that you don’t know what she is going through, but you’re willing to help her with it. Personally, I feel like reading tarot cards for the feelings of people who aren’t participating in the reading are kind of unnecessary because of how I use tarot, which is a means of introspection and being able to look at an issue from a different perspective, it’s not some sort of mind-reading device. 

Either way, I hope this helped you!

Hello! I’ll draw two cards for the impact of updating less often.

I drew the Nine of Swords and The Tower. Uh-oh. My take from this is that updating less often will make you feel more anxious about the readership, and you will experience a big change because of it. But honestly, my personal advice would be to update it as often as you feel comfortable, and from this reading, if you’re comfortable with keeping it one week for a little longer, then do so. 

Anyways, I hope this helped you decide- sorry it was a little bleak!

Howdy!

For this question, I drew the Eight of Pentacles and the Seven of Wands. Overall, this person’s feelings about you are giving them a lot to work through. They might have conflicting feelings about you that are causing this. They’re feeling an inner struggle about it. 

Hope this helped, sorry it was a little vague.
