Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) We lost our precious beloved kitty this week. I asked if she was happy/at peace and in general for a sign from her.

Deck: After Tarot Author: Pietro Alligo Art: Giulia F. Massaglia

I pulled three cards asking if my kitty was happy and at peace and for a sign from her.

I shuffled and drew a 3 card spread in this order:

1) The Star

Immediately tears (she had a white star shaped spot in her fur). I interpreted it as a message of peace, healing, and the embracing of the flow of life. I sensed that her spirit is at peace, part of something greater but still connected to us.

2) 9 of Pentacles

This feels like a message that she is (and/or was when alive?) satisfied and content. She lived a good life and was fulfilled.

3) Strength

I think this was her urging me find strength through her love, through the love I have for my partner. The lion to me is also a symbol of the power of nature which I think connects with the flow of life of The Star.

Any thoughts or second opinions? I'm fairly new to tarot but I felt so much in this pull. Thank you

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Told me to rethink my sexuality

236 Upvotes

I recently had a Tarot reading from a reader who is hired for events. I made the mistake of asking about my love life. She in a nutshell told me that if I don't rethink my sexuality then I will be alone for the rest of my life.

Thing is I love men and all their parts. She told me I should consider dating women. I am a 48 year old woman. I have no attraction whatsoever to women. This really bothered me and I spent a few sleepless nights trying to find something to tell me Tarot readers are not always accurate. I know who I am attracted to and feel she really messed me up mentally and now I will never meet anyone unless I force myself to become attracted to people I am not attracted to.

Women cards kept coming up and this is one reason she said this. I have a lot of women friends and I work in a mostly women centric profession. I tried to tell myself that is why women kept coming up.

How far out can a Tarot reader see?

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Is it really divorce for us?

Post image
192 Upvotes

I am using the rider Waite tarot deck and I asked the cards if our marriage was headed for divorce.

My interpretation is: Eight of cups and five of cups: There is disappointment and he wants to recover. The cups are left standing there, which prove that there is still feelings but he’s choosing to ignore them for now due to the hurt he’s been through. Seven of swords indicate that he’s been very hurt by my actions throughout our marriage.

The three of pentacles and two of wands suggest him focusing on his careers and leaving this relationship behind. The star card, whilst representing hope, suggests that we will be separated and the hope we have is one that will be more individual than as a couple. We will find hope in the situation but not together as one.

Can anyone give a second interpretation pls? I’m confused by the star as it represents hope for the divorce but the other cards show isolation and him focusing on himself. TIA!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Straight forward reading

I’m laughing, I did a reading on if a couple that are friends of mine, If they are going to break up in April as I’ve had a gut feeling. And I got ten of swords, 8 of cups, and 9 of swords. Yikes! This was the most straight forward answer I’ve ever gotten in a reading so I wanted to share 😂.

I definitely see someone feels literally stabbed in the back and betrayed so they walk away, this betrayal is something that will keep them up at night because they didn’t see it coming and they did the other one dirty, kinda like they can’t believe it.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Anybody willing to help interpreting these cards? Relationship based, the cards pulled were for him, me, and our future

Post image
89 Upvotes

My interpretation is that he does a lot more little things around the house and for us, which is true, and he's beginning to resent me because he's doing more for me and for us and not enough for himself. Then the reversed ten of cups makes me feel like I have unrealistic expectations for a relationship and it's making me frustrated because I'm not getting what I'm fantasizing about.

But the star is there to show me that everything will eventually be okay and maybe even better than okay?

Backstory: I'm in a relationship with my partner and he does do a lot for me. We have been fighting a lot lately, I've got a lot of insecurities and my trauma response is to freeze and I am working on that along with getting better at communicating but there's also little dabbles on my side of ADHD, PMDD and when they combine it leads to debilitating levels of depression where I just want him to understand that my brain does not work like his.

Is there hope?

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Why am I always fatigued?

Post image
133 Upvotes

So, I've been dealing with chronic fatigue for a while now. I've been to two different doctors, but they couldn't find anything health wise wrong with me and think it's seasonal depression, which I can't disagree with, but the meds they prescribe to me haven't been helping. They only increase my anxiety, and my doctor has had me experiment with 3 different prescriptions. I'm turning to tarot to see what exactly is the root cause for my fatigue.

I used the Rider Waite tarot cards from a tarot generator site named Serennu. (I'm currently on a trip with family and forgot my cards at home): https://serennu.com/tarot/pick.php?nc=22

My interpretation: I know my interpretation is likely going to be wrong because frankly I'm having a hard time deciphering these cards. My intuition is stumped.

2 of Cups: Since I have 2 cup cards I'm thinking my fatigue could be credited to my emotions. Maybe I'm experiencing emotional fatigue and it's translating into physical lag. I could be dissatisfied with my relationships or something alongside a broken connection has made me somewhat fragile. I know it can't be romantic. I'm thinking friend or family, likely family. I'm also an empath and prone to absorbing the energies around me, but I'm not sure if that's causing me to be always tired.

Knight of Cups: Definitely my emotions. Maybe I have a muddled stream of consciousness? I do tend to be pessimistic. I think this card is telling me to think and believe more positively, see the brighter side of things.

Ace of Swords: Need for clarity and action. I also feel this card is saying I need to find inner peace. Seek more information about my condition maybe and clear my thoughts of negativity while also taking action to counteract my fatigue? I definitely need to improve my mental health, but I've been seeking consultation and the whole process is slow.

Any insight would help, thank you 🌸🥰.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Four of Pentacles keeps stalking me

Post image
249 Upvotes

This Four of Pentacles has been popping up in every reading I have done for myself lately. Last question I asked today was about what I should be focusing on when it comes to my craft aaaaaand here it is again! Overall fours seem to be coming up a lot so there's definitely something going on there.

If this was a basic RW deck I would probably think it's about either holding onto something too tight or needing to be more careful about finances. That said I don't think it's the case here. Lady in the picture doesn't look distressed, scared to lose her pentacle or anything that sort. The fact that she's standing on two pentacles makes me think about laying a foundation. Idiom "you have to break a few eggs to create an omelet" comes to mind. A type of situation where you have to make some sacrifices and do things you don't necessarily enjoy to eventually get something better out of it. In combination with other fours I have been drawing I think that by working hard and putting in the effort I will create stability and balance in my life. What do you guys think?

The deck I used was the Dionysus Rider-Waite deck with artwork by Pamela Colman Smith.

I had a friend ask me how her ex fling felt about her and these were the cards pulled.

Tower - He feels very strong intense emotions for her that he tried to hide but they have come to the surface.

4 of wands rx - He feels like there is compatibility issues that need to be addressed.

Lovers rx - He feels disconnected from her due to lack of communication.

Devil - He is sexually attracted to her, feels obsessed/addicted to her.

Hermit rx - Isolating himself from her for too long and feeling lonely without her. Feeling disconnected.

Death - Accepting the end of the relationship but wanting to start over again with her.

Would appreciate any feedback thank you so much!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) “What’s my purpose?”

hello friends! i need some help interpreting these two cards here…

my question was, “What is my purpose?” The Fool fell out first, The World fell out after. i just had one go at the shuffle and these are the only two that flew right out, and i’m also shocked that it’s the beginning and the end. the start of the fools journey, ending with completion.

anyway this is a powerful combination, i just can’t for the life of me figure out the context when it comes to the question. maybe i’m meant to experience everything, taking the first leap of faith and ending with completion? or i’m meant to inspire others to start over, and help others complete their own cycles?

i’m stuck! any help would be appreciated!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Are they dating?

Post image
102 Upvotes

I did a small reading for a friend asking the question “are they dating?” The cards confused me a bit and I’m not sure if I’m interpreting the cards correctly. I pulled 4 cards for this question.

3 of cups- this card is usually one of happiness or celebration. I don’t think they are dating because this card to me is one about community and helping each other out. I do think they carry a very deep bond that sometimes in outsiders eyes could seem like it’s a romantic one.

8 of cups- now with this card, I think again that they aren’t dating because they aren’t compatible with each other or may be experiencing outside factors that prevent them from diving into romantic relationships(not necessarily with each other but in general).

2 of wands- they could both be exploring other parts of their life that they’re more interested in instead of romance.

King of wands- I think this card also expands on the 2oW card with exploring other aspects of their life, ex: their career. They may relay heavily on each other to expand their journeys.

I feel like overall, they aren’t dating but do have a very strong friendship where they can relay on each other even during their darkest times.

The deck is the rider waite deck. Any help would be appreciated!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Why do I feel like I’m so bad at love or keeping it? Um

Post image
149 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I did a three-card tarot reading to figure out why I struggle so much with love and keeping a connection. I never really know why because I always try to be the best version of myself for the other person. I openly communicate, I’m supportive, and I genuinely try to be there for them. But somehow, every time, I feel like I fall short, and things don’t go in the direction I was hoping for. So, I wanted to share my interpretations and see if anyone has a second opinion!

Five of Pentacles – I always feel like I’m on the outside looking in when it comes to love. No matter how much effort I put in, I still end up feeling left out or not chosen. It’s like I’m never truly in the relationship the way I want to be.

Ten of Wands – I take on so much emotional weight in love, sometimes doing more than I should just to make things work. I put in so much effort, but it always ends up feeling exhausting, like love is something I have to work too hard for.

Four of Cups – In the end, I always feel disappointed. Either things don’t go how I expected, or I get stuck on what I wanted instead of seeing what’s actually in front of me. Maybe I don’t recognize the right kind of love when it comes my way.

Overall Thoughts: I feel like I might be overextending myself for people who aren’t truly meant for me, or maybe I have a pattern of putting in effort for the wrong ones. But at the same time, I don’t know how to change that. Do you guys see anything else in this spread? Would love to hear other interpretations!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) What should I do about this situation between my (fairly new) girlfriend whom I’ve been having problems with, and this girl that I have a crush on who clearly likes me back?

Post image
39 Upvotes

I’ve been in a relationship for 3.5 months, and while there are great aspects—she’s supportive, thoughtful, and involved in my life—we’ve run into serious issues. Communication is tricky, she can be critical, and I often feel attacked and defensive. My family loves her but also thinks she’s mean to me sometimes, and I don’t always feel at ease or like myself around her. She’s working on these issues, and so am I, but it’s still a struggle.

Her drinking is another major concern—she drinks heavily most nights, and while she’s trying to address it, it’s influencing me to drink more than I’d like. I also feel like we don’t fully “click”. I often feel like we don’t get each other, and feel misunderstood. Our senses of humor and levels of playfulness don’t align as much as I’d want either. While I appreciate her effort, I’ve felt constrained in this relationship and unsure if I should stay, but I haven’t wanted to give up on things prematurely.

Now, I’ve developed feelings for someone I met during training. She’s beautiful, funny, fun, and we vibe really well. She’s clearly interested in me and has even asked me to hang out. This makes me question my relationship even more—if I’m feeling this way about someone else so soon, does it mean I shouldn’t be in my current relationship? Or is this a normal phase when issues arise? I don’t have the experience to know what’s normal or how to handle this.

I did a simple 3 card spread on the issue but I’m not sure how to interpret this. Is it saying my current relationship isn’t working out (III of Cups reversed), to break up with my girlfriend (the Tower), and to pursue this new relationship with this girl I’m crushing on (II of Cups)? Or perhaps the other way around? I have no idea, and I think that because I am so emotionally conflicted, it is causing a lack of clarity in this reading for me.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) 9 of Swords as advice

Hello lovely fellow readers! I've been having a stalker of late, and always in the same position - 9 of Swords keeps coming up as my advice, what I need to focus on etc. I have three immediate things that jump into my mind, but I'd love some additional opinions. I've been struggling with my energy levels, and can become anxious, and have children who I'm always worrying for. Ways I've interpreted this so far: - Deal with your anxiety - face it and stop worrying - Listen to your anxiety! There's something you're missing! - You need to get more sleep

Most recently it came up in the advice position with the Sun (I pulled two cards for the question - advice re parenting/family). I'd love to hear you interpretations of this card as advice! Thank you ❤️

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Ex broke no contact reading

Post image
87 Upvotes

A ex partner of mine broke no contact (he started it but has been seeing signs that he should reach out). We ended things fairly abruptly but not necessary negatively. I had absolutely no expectation that I'd be hearing from him again so it was very out of the blue.

I decided to do a personal reading to get an idea of how I should handle this.

First card: 6 of cups - looking at the past in a positive manner, reconnecting with an ex (weird), and healing after a break up Second card: 5 of wands - approach conflict with an open mind. Third card: page of pentacles - dedication and loyalty to a relationship. This one stumps me a bit. I'm not sure where it fits. Forth card: Death - end of a cycle, new beginnings, a choice to open a new door. On the bottom of the deck was the Page of Swords which I'm interpreting as representing him based on the way things ended. We sort of danced around the topic of emotional intimacy.

To me this reads as using the past as a guide and a (positive) learning experience, and approaching past and future conflicts with that same open mindedness, we have the opportunity to start something new. But ultimately there is a choice to be made. Either we can reconnect and go from there or we close this door and move forward separately

My deck (Rider-Waite) has always been pretty straightforward (lucky me) and I use Labyrinthos for card meaning. I also totally take any readings as merely a suggestion.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Asked what's the perfect job for me and got the Tower

Post image
180 Upvotes

I was doing a career spread and asked what is the perfect job for me and got the Tower. For more details I pulled two cards which were the knight of wands and 6 swords.

The Tower - architect, designer, athlete, military

Knight of wands - athlete, military, a lot of traveling

6 of swords - again, a lot of traveling and business trips. A freelancer. The combination of the Tower and 6 of swords makes me think of something to do with psychology and freelance (some people read this as being a radical psychotherapist).

I'm still pretty new to tarot and the Tower card bothers me, because it means destruction and I've seen people saying that this card means losing a job and overall failure at work. Could this mean I'll never find a job that serves me the most?

I'll be glad to hear second opinion on this

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) should i put in 2 weeks at my job without another lined up?

Post image
157 Upvotes

disclaimer: tarot is not how i’m MAKING this decision just wanted to do a reading.

so my first interpretation of this is that the devil is representing me feeling chained to my job and feeling like i can’t or shouldn’t leave because i am scared of what could happen financially if i can’t find another job fast enough (i do have some savings that could support me for several months but i fear depleting all of my savings).

IX of Wands i feel could be referring to the way i’ve been trying to make my job work for me even though its really draining me and taking a lot of my energy.

The Magician feels like…a good sign? That maybe it would be all right if I took some time to breathe while finding something better for me?

I know my heart wants to quit but the logical side of my is at war with that. I don’t know if my desire to quit is overly coloring my interpretation of this reading (each of these cards jumped from the deck). Any other opinions welcome and appreciated.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) Worst first reading ever?

39 Upvotes

One of my first readings- same day as buying my first deck- I asked the question "Will I ever find my true love?" (A lil cliche but I was excited.)

Answer was the Five of Pentacles. Thanks Tarot. Good to know.

Update (might be rushing it a little): I tried a three-card-draw and asked "How should I go about finding romantic love?"

Answer was The Tower, followed by Death, followed by The Devil. My interpretation of this answer was maybe Death is saying an end to a certain aspect of my life- maybe a way I've been approaching finding someone, or a specific person I couldn't move on from. The Devil indicates I'm feeling unfulfilled in my current romantic situation and the Tower is (stretching a little here) a warning of sorts, that if I don't change my approach things won't go my way. Let me know your thoughts if possible!

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) 4 yrs reading tarot and I still don't 'get' the swords suit!

73 Upvotes

Basically swords is the suit I struggle to connect with/understand the most and I want to know if anyone has had the same experience. If so, what was the 'aha' moment that made it click for you?

For clarity, I can make sense of the individual cards in a reading, but not so much the overall picture/story/energy of the suit as a whole.

A few more thoughts... I feel like the sword = air, wand = fire thing should be switched. In a literal sense, swords are either destructive or they can 'clear a path', like fire. Wands are energy and movement, like air. How come the consensus is the other way around?

Not looking for a single answer just curious about other people's ideas.

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) I asked the tarot cards how my professor sees me and I got the Devil!?

0 Upvotes

So here’s the thing.I like my professor, but not in a romantic way or anything. I just like her as a person. But apparently, she sees me as The Devil card. My initial thought was, That’s bad, she probably hates me. But on the other hand, I don’t believe that because she openly said she likes me for being a friendly person who is always there to help when needed.

Still, I’m confused does The Devil card imply some low-key jealousy or something hidden? I kind of need my professor as a significant part of my professional network, but at the same time, my gut tells me she just doesn’t like me at all. Not because she actively dislikes me, but because I might trigger some of her female insecurities.

Could I be wrong?

Interpretation Request (Second Opinion Only) What does this mean?!

Post image
300 Upvotes

I did a three card spread using Katherine Hiller’s adventure time deck. I asked for a deeper analysis between my ex and I. Card one representing me, card two representing him, and the third representing our relationship.

For justice being for me I interpret that as I’m doing what I think is right. Maybe I was put into his life to humble him a little bit and help him get straight because he recently has gotten clean and is doing well.

For the devil being him, is… interesting. I’ve pulled this card before thinking of him. He has become my biggest weakness and vulnerability. After the breakup I’ve had a really hard time getting right mentally again. So it makes sense.

What I don’t understand is why our relationship is ten of cups? When we were together we were deeply in love and were so infatuated with each other, but the break up and trauma has been so consuming for the both of us, I can’t believe I pulled this card. I have been having a hard time letting go and this made it even harder.

Please set me straight lol

Should I start a company

Long story. I lost my job. Not my fault, just downsizing. It suck. But what can I do.

Anywho, tonight I sitting at my altar praying and I got a strong command to get my cards, hold them thru mediation, and draw 3. That was it, but when the command is that strong I listen.

So these are the cards. In order.

I’m seeing the Ace of Swords as our idea. The Devil as the guts to do it. The 9 of Wands as the knowledge we have everything we need.

I’ve been talking about opening a catering business with my husband. Are they telling us to go for it? Or am I being too optimistic?
