Family, Friends & Relationships

We all have issues in our life around family and close friends. A family tarot reading can help you clarify your thoughts and deal with worrying situations. Often we cant’se a way out of a dilemma because we are just to close to family and friends. This is where the tarot can guide you.

Most of us assume that because we have spent a lot of time with a partner, other family members, or close friends, our communication with them should be relatively easy and effortless. Our thinking probably goes something like this: “my spouse/parent/sibling/best friend knows me very well, so he or she should know what I am thinking and feeling, as well as what I mean.” We are often surprised and annoyed when people who are close to us misunderstand. Although it’s tempting to blame the other person, the problem also begins with us. Communicating with people we know very well is actually more difficult than communicating with people we hardly know at all. Most people seriously overestimate their ability to communicate effectively. Studies suggest that nearly 50% of the time when we think we are understood, we are actually wrong. Because we assume we are being understood, we don’t take the time to check whether our family and friends receive the correct message. Because we communicate with our friends and family frequently, there are multiple opportunities for being misunderstood. Let this Friends and Family Relationshps Reading help guide you.

Timing: When looking for time sensitive answers, Swords generally means moderately fast, often a matter of days to weeks.

Upright

Reversed

The Original Rider Waite Tarot Deck is the most popular and widely used tarot card deck in the world, printed from plates that were destroyed during the bombing of London during World War II. Full of symbolism and deeper meanings, Arthur E. Waite, the intellectual father of the Rider Waite deck, commented that ‘the true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.’

If a Swords card appears in you reading, heres what you need to know:

The Suit of Swords is associated with action, change, force, power, oppression, ambition, courage and conflict. Action can be both constructive and/or destructive, sometimes resulting in violence. This suit can also mean hatred, battle, and enemies, and of all the suits, this one is considered to be the most powerful and dangerous. The Suit of Swords deals with the mental level of consciousness that is centred around the mind and the intellect. Swords mirror the quality of mind present in your thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs. Swords themselves are double-edged and in this way the Suit of Swords symbolises the fine balance between intellect and power and how these two elements can be used for good or evil. As such, the Swords must be balanced by spirit (Wands) and feeling (Cups). The negative aspects of the Suit of Swords (i.e. when the Swords cards appear reversed) include anger, guilt, harsh judgement, a lack of compassion and verbal and mental abuse.

Ideas, communication, mental dexterity, mental challenges, talking, writing, truths/untruths.

Timing: When looking for time sensitive answers, Swords generally means moderately fast, often a matter of days to weeks.

Here are some short extracts from my favorite books to give you a feel for the book.

Complete Book of Tarot: Earth (Pentacles) and Air (Swords) are inimical and greatly diminish each other’s influence. (In Greek philosophy, Earth is cold and dry, whereas as Air is hot and wet. Earth and Air thus have no qualities in common and are contrary to one another.)

Tarot Books

Elements of the Psychic World: In the nineteenth century disturbances were recorded in the Getford family vault near Stamford, Lincolnshire and in the Boxhowden crypt on the Island of Oesel (now called Sarmea) located in the Baltic Sea. Perhaps the most famous moving coffin case, however, is that of the Chase Vault.

Complete Book of Tarot: Crowley/GD: Disappointment, loss in pleasure, separation, worry, a breakup, loss of friendship, unkindness from friends, onset of illness.
