Hello Jem!! I hope you're doing good!
Sooo I was having fun discovering my dr families dynamics and all with tarot, I got to Hua Cheng and Xie Lian who are my parents, but I’m not sure if I understood their spreads correctly so I thought of asking someone else for another view or interpretation, so you! :D
I asked the same questions for both of them, how they see me and how they act as parents.
For Xie Lian, how he sees me, I got page of wands, death, 9 of wands, 3 of cups, 10 of pentacles reversed, page of cups, 3 of swords, and the lovers. And for how he acts as a parent, I got the moon, the fool reversed, judgement, 4 of swords reversed, 3 of wands, 3 of pentacles, queen of pentacles, 3 of swords, the lovers, and ace of wands reversed.
For Hua Cheng, how he sees me I got 4 of pentacles reversed, 5 of wands, 8 of wands, page of wands reversed, 3 of wands, knight of wands, ace of swords reversed, 2 of pentacles reversed, the empress, 9 of wands reversed. And how he acts as a parent, I got 5 of cups, 6 of swords, the wheel of fortune, the world, knight of cups reversed, 6 of pentacles reversed, the sun reversed, 9 of cups, queen of swords, king of wands.
Honestly, Hua Cheng is the one that confuses me most. But oh well, I’d like to see what you think :D
Serena hiiii~
You are so sweet. I'm very flattered you thought of me. And I loved reading this, because I love XL and HC of course. And seeing them as parents is always such a treat. <3
The readings were quite detailed but I won't get into too much nitty-gritty. I'm sure you already know the gist of it all.
Their view of you is similar in a lot of ways. But I love how there are some same cards with reverses in their readings. They both basically called you their baby in the sweetest way. The only difference is that XL is more polite and considerate, and HC is just calling you a brat (adoringly). While XL is very doting and wants to make you more mature and careful, HC spoils you a lot and is the one responsible for making you a brat lol. They both think you are very impulsive, full of energy, bright, creative, playful, and might sometimes hold onto grudges or be a little petty. But in a very youthful/childish way, not in a malicious way.
XL is more of the nurturing mother hen kind of parent. He is very careful about everything. And thinks he's responsible for making you a responsible adult. He wants to make you independent and brave so you can face the world on your own when the need arises. You might be a little impulsive and indecisive at times, so he wants to be your guide in such times. He wants to support you so you can rely on him for advice. This reflects in his parenting as well. He can get a bit too anxious sometimes. He might sometimes think he's not doing well enough. He thinks he got a new start at life through you. You are like a gift for him, since he was never expecting to be blessed like this with a complete family. He can be very emotional and sometimes overcritical of himself. But he wants you to have the best life. And he wants to be a better and more present parent in your life. He thinks he's coddling you a lot or not doing enough, but in reality, he's actually the best dad anyone can ask for. He's very loving and supportive, but also lets you be your own person. People need to take parenting lessons from this dude fr.
HC is kind of the opposite in some ways. He appears to be the one who is more nonchalant. The cooler parent of the two. A bit more composed. It might even seem like he is more carefree and laid-back. That's only because he's keeping an extremely close eye on you. You would never even need to rely on him, because he's like 12 steps ahead. Always looking out and calculating everything in advance. He would baby-proof the whole world if need be. In reality, he's even more cautious than XL, but it doesn't show since it all happens in the background, away from all eyes. He also feels he has been given a gift that he doesn't deserve, which makes him even more highly protective. He wants to give you the childhood he never had. A childhood that makes him jealous, in the best way possible. And while he might think he doesn't deserve it, since he's been blessed with this precious gift, he doesn't want to share it with anyone. He's very possessive of the people he loves. Especially since he sees you as a token of love between him and his lover. That's why he spoils you a lot. He doesn't care about letting you be more careful or cautious or other worries that XL might have about your future, simply because HC wouldn't ever let there be a time where you have to face the world alone. He would rather let you be spoiled than ever leave you wanting for something.
Also, another thing I found really cute was that HC seems to be the one you yap to more, despite everyone thinking the opposite.
They also both said you made their nights restless since the day you entered their life LOLLL. They haven't slept peacefully since then. (But no complains.)
Anyway, that was a very wholesome spread, and I loved every bit of it. Hope that helped clear things for you as well. <3
