Past:

Y’all also got the Five of Swords here, so iffin’ it ain’t too much considerin’, I’d redirect ya to the first part here.  Sorry for the lack of real personalization on it, but 2 AM ain’t the best time for that, huh?

Present:

The Hermit -- Signifies guidance.  This could be yer own ‘higher self’ speakin to ya, advice from a trusted friend, or somethin’ said to ya by a seasoned professional.  It’d be wise ta listen to the wisdom offered, and yer own gut feelings, in yer present situation. Those who speak from experience should be able to give y’all some much - needed perspective, as they’ve been down the path yer walkin’ currently. Alternatively, the hermit could also indicate a need ta withdraw from the outtermost world, and really focus on yer inner self.

Future:

Past ( refers to recent events and challenges that just took place, things that’ve led up to your present situation, an’ your role in ‘em ):

Five of Swords -- Indications of defeat.  Maybe y’all’ve lost a battle ( most likely a mental one ), and ya’ve found yourself in a situation of retreat, seekin’ to calm them choppy waters of yer emotions.

A score-keeper is indicated on the card here, someone motivated by revenge and vindication; someone at the heart of yer troubles.  It’s a good reminding indication ta avoid the lust of yer own revenge, showin’ that hurt and pain will be yer only result.  Yer wounds need time to heal. Suggestion for now is to concede yer defeat, and find new things ta focus on, lettin’ this go.

Present ( refers to what is happenin’ right now; typically what sparks people to seek a readin’ in the first place. Most people would say this card is what helps them decide what to do next. ):

The Moon -- Indications of uncertainty.  When the Moon is in yer present, it means things aren’t what they seem.  Deception of one’s self, or from another, is strongly underlined.  Usin’ extreme caution when dealin’ with others is advised. New information might be comin’ to you, possibly in a dream or through a vision.  In any case, when the truth is exposed, it must be dealt with. Acceptin’ the darker, wilder side can bring peace; denial only brings chaos.

Ultimately:

You’ve gone too fast and too hard in the past; slow down and don’t worry about it.  When it happens, it’ll happen. Keep being you, you have wonderful and admirable traits.  Someone will see these things in the (possible near) future, and you will be appreciated as you should be.

1. How you feel about yourself currently ( Tower )

You feel that the disruption and sweeping change you are going through, or fear you are about to go through, will be catastrophic.  You need to recognise that such upheaval can force new directions that you never dreamed possible.  Subconsciously, you may have wanted change, but as is often the case, the solution isn't always as we expect.  There could be problems relating to your property, or if considering a new property or move, progress will be thwarted.

2. What you want most at this moment ( Sun )

The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is some joy and pleasure in your life.  Perhaps a long needed holiday in the sun to re-charge your batteries?  You may have been through a period of challenges or a time of limbo and inactivity.  The Sun heralds an ending to difficulties and a time to celebrate with friends and loved ones; a time of pleasure and good news.

3. Your current fears ( Emperor )

You are feeling that success is just around the corner but it feels elusive, just out of reach. You are concerned that the support and help that you want from your father, brother, or a man of significance in your life won't materialise. Trust and ask for the help you need, and success will be yours.

4. What is currently going for you ( Moon )

Despite the fear and bewilderment you feel, and the seeming difficulty of the path you have chosen, keep going - all will eventually turn out fine. The Moon is a good omen if you are in a clandestine affair; it also shows us how to be open to new and unexpected possibilities.

5. What is currently going against you ( Magician )

Someone, most likely male, isn't quite what they seem. Trickery and deception cleverly disguised as charm and friendliness, so be sure that this person really does have your best interests at heart. If someone who you feel wary of is presenting you with a business opportunity, be cautious and trust your instincts.

6. Outcome ( Justice )
