A Question of Love
Reading completed on 10.09.18
This is a copy of the recent reading I performed for a friend, names have been changed to protect identities , if you have any questions or would like a reading of your own pop me a message!
You approached me regarding your on and off relationship with Ollie, you have recently ended the relationship again, breaking your own heart in the process, you are looking for guidance regarding the situation.
Spread
You currently stand at a crossroads, you can either allow Ollie to be a part of your life or you can let him go completely, the two of you are entwined but the choice remains yours. I
used a spread which represents two future time lines, guided by a signifier.
The Signifier
Who you will be in the timeline, your emotions or actions
Who he will be in the timeline, his emotions or actions
The outcome of your relationship, together or apart.
The top rows cards represent the choice that you allow Ollie to be a part of your life The bottom rows cards represent the choice that you separate your life from Ollie and allow him to move away from you
The Signifier
In this case, the signifier was sadly an easy choice, The Three of Swords, the card of Broken Hearts
Timeline A- You let Ollie be a part of your life
Who you will be
Wheel of Fortune
This card speaks to me of the happiness you will feel if you choose to let Ollie back into your life, however The Wheel also comes with a clear warning that, If you don’t remember the past you’ll be condemned to repeat it. It also speaks of travel to distant lands; I feel that you would feel comfortable enough to take a trip abroad with Ollie, somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit.
Who he will be
Page of Pentacles
If you chose to allow Ollie back into your life, he will seem very much grounded, nurturing, generous and kind. He will encourage you to follow your dreams and support you in your travels.
Outcome
Ten of Pentacles
Together you will feel loyalty and faithfulness but the relationship will always remain a gamble, the relationship offers security but you must remember this would be the person who sees you every day, knows you inside and out and you will know the same of him. This card also reminds you to listen to an older relative, perhaps your mother or other family member, who may have opinions on the relationship.
Timeline B- You let Ollie move away from your life
Who you will be
Two of Pentacles
This is the card of harmonious change, but if you choose to let him go you will l feel great loss, however from that loss there is much to be gained. Following the choice it may seem like your life is a balancing act, like you are trying to keep everything in the air at one time. The road will not be a smooth one, it was be especially difficult to let him go.
Who he will be
Six of Cups
Ollie will always look back at your time together with bittersweet memories, but he is willing to leave everything behind him to feel safe and secure. If he is on his own he may rekindle a previous relationship, perhaps a childhood sweetheart, however he will always keep the memories of you and your relationship alive in his heart.
The Outcome
The High Priestess
This card is a tough one, a Major Arcana who reminds me and you both that some truths are not to be revealed. But you must trust your own instinct; if you do make this choice then the possibilities are endless! Finally the Priestess reminds you that wisdom comes from experience and that the truth lies within yourself.
Thoughts
If you decide to allow Ollie into your life again, you already know how things can turn out or how you would like them to turn out, there is real value in the relationship but you will always have to be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
If you decide to truly let Ollie go it is not so clear, it will be hard and you will have a period of your life where everything feels up in the air but ultimately you must trust your deepest instincts and look forward to all the possibilities both spiritually and physically.
Follow up
Following the main reading I asked the question;
“Is there anything Ella can do to help her make the decision?”
The card that I drew was;
Justice
You must weigh up your choices with open eyes; try not to allow emotion and passion to cloud your judgement in these matters. See the truth and remember relationships can cut both ways, you must look at Oscar and what he offers or does not offer but also look within yourself equally.
