I do believe the reading came to me just when I needed it (spur of the moment), and it very much put the ball in my court and emphasised my need to make choices for myself... it helped that it was an extremely accurate reading. So I would definitely suggest to your friend that whatever the cards say, they're an indicator of out come based on the current path, which she can change if she wants to. Not fun sitting there watching your friend tolerate a situation that she would condemn if she saw it happening to someone else...Traceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-51028629110390546942010-12-08T17:54:28.843-05:002010-12-08T17:54:28.843-05:00Hi guys! :D Eh, Pietra, I know how they always w...Hi guys! :D Eh, Pietra, I know how they always want info on the other person, which is understandable because it can feel very restricting being in a troubled relationship. You feel and think as if you can't make a decision unless or until the other person does. Which is not true, of course, and I love the readings that set that power firmly back into the querant's hands. Which I try to do. Always. When it comes to questions such as, "Will he leave his wife?" I usually remind them that whether he does or he doesn't, does not guarantee he will want to commit to them. So really, what does it matter what he decides to do regarding her, what matters is what YOU decide to do regarding him. <br /><br />LOL, Jennifer re: the woman w/ the slacker now married. Yeah, we take our lumps as readers. It's like, *gulp!* I should have kept my own nosy opinion out of it, right? :D Well, we've all been there, done that. The abusive relationship issue is complicated. Tarot is telling the truth -- until she is ready to draw her boundaries in a firm way, she will continue to return to the same old, same old, even if they are not physically together. While it is not at all her fault for being mistreated, only she can set those boundaries and stick to them. Also, most abusers will continue to harass their victims through the separation and divorce process and if they have children together, dealing with him on a regular basis with them will allow his manner with her to continue as well. Helping her focus her questions on what she can do NOW to help her situation, not necessarily leave or don't leave, might yield better results.<br />It may show her action items she can do or ways in which she can strengthen and heal inwardly even while staying...for now. Then again, you may have already covered those areas.Ginny Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03759784851970527096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-75802560457557540962010-12-08T14:07:39.150-05:002010-12-08T14:07:39.150-05:00Oh, I hear ya.

When this happened, she told me some dicey things about the guy--mostly I remember that he was a total slacker, which triggered off my own personal memories of being dumped by a slacker (and I was better off for it). I told her it was over even though the cards said different. They're married now. So yeah.<br /><br />I am frustrated now that a friend of mine with a verbally abusive husband always gets these indecisive tarot readings about the situation. Tarot thinks "eh, same difference if you leave or not," apparently. It's so irritating.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906089927390662087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-20389791835896299452010-12-08T06:47:20.194-05:002010-12-08T06:47:20.194-05:00This is something really interesting... because, i...This is something really interesting... because, in many cases, people tend to want dig the other person - who is not even there (is he going to do what I want? Is he going to leave his wife for me?)... hate that...<br /><br />However, what I love is that: 1. there are great decks to look at it, such as the Lover's Path; 2. there are, sometimes, things that you simply look at and you see happening, as my friend's wedding when I saw the Emperor on one of her readings... I actually saw him asking her to marry him... cute! <br /><br />Libras! lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634128553847103919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30754098.post-60894022413890019532010-12-07T23:24:37.525-05:002010-12-07T23:24:37.525-05:00I have several, so it depends on the question/situ...I have several, so it depends on the question/situation.

More good tarot food for thought. Thanks, Ginny.Carolhttp://reticulatedwriter.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
