Edmar: 12 Months Ahead
✴︎July✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Justice
The month begins calmly and rationally. Edvin and Omar may be trying to put everything into perspective: understand their feelings, define their boundaries, and figure out what each brings to the relationship. Emotions take a back seat, while honesty, mutual respect, and the desire to create a fair balance become more important.
Level of Closeness ⟢ King of Swords
Their closeness develops through communication rather than open displays of emotion. Notice how the figures on the two cards mirror each other's posture. Either one of them or both may consciously keep their emotions in check, preferring to understand the situation logically before acting on their feelings.

✴︎August✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ The Devil
After a calm July, the emotions intensify dramatically. The Devil keeps appearing in my readings when looking at the energy and dynamic between them, and it consistently speaks of strong attraction, the desire to be together, passion, and undeniable chemistry. At the same time, it can also bring out jealousy, possessiveness, or emotional dependency. The attraction becomes almost impossible to ignore.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Page of Wands
Wands are also about energy and passion, and we can see that the Devil's dynamic begins with growing interest in one another, wanting to communicate more, flirt, and interact. Their closeness develops through initiative, messages, meetings, and simply giving in to their impulses.
────────────────────
✴︎September✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Ace of Cups (Reversed)
The Devil may manifest through its strongest aspects: jealousy, obsession, and similar themes, and ends up as an emotional blockage. Their feelings become overwhelming, leaving behind emotional exhaustion, vulnerability, and the desire to withdraw.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Three of Swords
The level of closeness reflects that (unfortunately) perfectly. This is one of the most difficult months of the entire reading for Omar and Edvin. There may be painful misunderstandings, disappointment, conflict, or emotional distance between them. Since this is only a Three (of Swords), I don't see it as a final separation, but rather as a period when the connection is put to a serious test, forcing both of them to confront their own emotional wounds.
────────────────────
✴︎October✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ The Chariot
Despite September's difficulties, the relationship doesn't remain stagnant for long. Someone decides to take control of the situation and bring movement. This is a genuinely positive direction and an attempt to choose a new path. There is a desire to overcome obstacles and restore the connection.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Eight of Wands (Reversed)
Considering what happened in September, finding a direction doesn't happen in one sudden leap. Progress is slow, delayed, or simply affected by poor timing. Untimely meetings, cancelled plans, or unexpected circumstances may interfere.
────────────────────
✴︎November✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ The Empress (Reversed)
There is a lack of care, attention, or warmth here. One of them may feel emotionally drained, underappreciated, or unable to receive the support they are hoping for.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Eight of Swords
Their closeness is restricted. The Eight of Swords represents a mental prison, and its limitations are primarily internal: fear of taking the first step, doubt, insecurity, and old beliefs. The picture that emerges is that the relationship needs warmth and care, yet one of them, or both, cannot provide it.
────────────────────
✴︎December✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Temperance
After several tense months, long-awaited balance finally begins to return. Emotions become calmer, there is a willingness to compromise, listen to each other, and gradually rebuild trust. Personally, I would read this card very literally as a sign of patience and a genuine attempt to find balance.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Ace of Swords
This is greatly supported by finally seeing the Ace of Swords they needed: an honest conversation that clears up many unanswered questions. This is a powerful moment of clarity in their relationship.
────────────────────
✴︎January✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Three of Pentacles (Reversed)
At the beginning of the calendar year, they may struggle to agree on what kind of relationship they want to build and what they hope to achieve together. We usually set our goals at the beginning of the year, right? So this card of teamwork, mutual contribution, and working towards a shared goal, literally the process of building is in its place. However, reversed, it points to a lack of alignment in those areas. They might see the emotions differently. I also tend to add the possibility of a third party or outside influences creating tension through their involvement or interference.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Seven of Wands
There are boundaries being established here, with each person protecting their own position. To me, this feels like a natural continuation: difficult attempts to figure out how to build the relationship and where it's heading, while both are inclined to defend themselves, their boundaries, and their beliefs.
────────────────────
✴︎February✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ The Lovers
Wow! This is one of the most significant months in the entire reading. Their feelings become especially strong, and the relationship takes centre stage. There is an important choice, a realisation of each other's value, or a transition into a more serious stage. This is the moment when they may consciously choose each other.
Level of Closeness ⟢ The Moon
This explains the uncertainty surrounding their level of closeness. The connection is deep on an emotional and soul level, but fears, doubts, and hidden emotions remain. That's exactly why the choice becomes so important. Because those fears and uncertainties are still there internally.
────────────────────
✴︎March✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Page of Pentacles
This is where the positive vector starts building. Feelings alone are no longer enough, and they need to be reinforced through actions. Emotionally, we see small but steady steps towards one another, focus, through practical care, and meaningful gestures.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Queen of Wands (Reversed)
Here, growing closer may also bring competition for attention. Someone may feel that these small steps aren't enough and want more passion, more attention, and more movement. Jealousy is also possible, especially if the Court card literally manifests as a woman appearing between them.
────────────────────
✴︎April✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Page of Cups
This is the warmest and most romantic month. They become softer, more open about their feelings, and show genuine care and interest in each other. Again, we have a Page, but now we move from practical gestures to true romance. Sweet confessions and emotional surprises are very possible.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Knight of Cups
Their closeness develops actively. From the Page to the Knight, and it's a beautiful progression. This is where we should see romantic gestures, initiative, open affection, and a genuine willingness to invest in the relationship.
────────────────────
✴︎May✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ The Magician
Following the most romantic month comes the strongest month of the reading. They may genuinely feel that they can do anything together, that their relationship has unlimited potential, and that they are in control of where it's going. There is initiative, confidence, and a conscious desire to build the relationship.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Queen of Cups
Their emotional intimacy reaches a very high level. There is deep trust, support, understanding without words, and a sense of emotional safety. This is the most harmonious stage within the period we're looking at.
────────────────────
✴︎June✴︎
Emotional Dynamics ⟢ Nine of Swords
Nothing good stays good for long (c) Anxiety begins to appear: fears that aren't necessarily grounded in reality, negative scenarios replaying in their minds, worries about the future, or emotional exhaustion after such a long journey. One or both of them may simply be overthinking everything.
Level of Closeness ⟢ Death
Take it easy, I’ve got you, anons… This is the card of transformation through endings and moving to the next level. It can represent the end of one stage of the relationship. After everything they've been through during the period we're looking at, maintaining the old dynamic becomes genuinely difficult. Honestly, we've probably got motion sickness just watching these emotional ups and downs… I can't imagine how they feel. The connection either evolves into a much more mature stage or changes its form entirely. This is a card of profound renewal, not of a dead end or destruction, as it would be if this were the Tower instead.
────────────────────
I couldn't resist pulling one clarification. Just one little peek, okay?
✴︎Clarifying July with its Death arcana✴︎
The transformation of the relationship dynamic couldn't be more fitting here. The dynamic represented by the ⟢Three of Cups reversed⟢ is not a particularly healthy one. It speaks of conflict between people who are part of the same social circle, gossip, assumptions, jealousy, infidelity, and that classic third-party or love triangle energy. Their relationship within this dynamic has constantly depended on outside circumstances, other people's influence, or simply the inability to truly be together. It can also represent letting go of a superficial, undefined stage where there was plenty of lightness, but very little stability.
The ⟢Wheel of Fortune⟢ shows that this exact pattern is coming to its natural end. It literally speaks of a change in the cycle. Circumstances are shifting, and with them, so are the rules of the game. If their relationship has been going around in circles, repeating the same situations and the same problems over and over again, this is the point where they finally have a chance to break out of that cycle.
The Wheel of Fortune doesn't promise that everything will suddenly become perfect, but it does suggest that fate is no longer pulling them back to the same place. The old pattern has run its course. That's why, following Death, this card feels genuinely encouraging: the transformation isn't happening to destroy the relationship, but to give it the opportunity to grow under a completely different set of circumstances.
────────────────────
⚡︎ Overall
This reading doesn't show a smooth progression of the relationship, but rather a journey through intense emotional highs and lows. At first, Edvin and Omar try to understand their feelings and create balance between them. Then an incredibly strong attraction develops, which eventually grows into a crisis. Autumn appears to be the most difficult period: the feelings never disappear, but their intensity leads to hurt, distance, inner fears, and difficulty getting closer.
Winter marks the beginning of a gradual recovery. Through patience, honest conversations, and attempts to understand one another, they begin searching for a shared path, even though both still have boundaries they need to protect. February becomes the key month, bringing the question of choosing each other despite the fears and uncertainties that remain.
Spring is by far the most harmonious part of the reading. Small steps gradually turn into romance, initiative, deep trust, and emotional intimacy. May, in particular, feels like the peak of their relationship during the period we're examining.
June does not indicate the end of the connection. The Nine of Swords speaks more about anxiety and the fear of losing something that has become deeply important, while Death naturally brings one cycle to an end through transformation. After a year like this, their relationship simply cannot remain the same.
The final clarification with the Three of Cups reversed and the Wheel of Fortune suggests that what is ending isn't the relationship itself, but the unhealthy dynamic surrounding it. Old patterns, outside influences, misunderstandings, jealousy, or situations where the relationship couldn't fully exist on its own have simply run their course. The Wheel of Fortune shows that this cycle is finally coming to its natural conclusion, creating an opportunity to move beyond the same repeated patterns.
