Interpretation

How do I experience love in my life?Wheel of Fortune (Reversed) “It may also show someone who begins the difficult process of self-examination, of learning to stop blaming bad luck for whatever disaster his or her life has become””a struggle against events that have already happened” Deep in-breath. This makes more sense than I would like to admit. Struggling against the love in my life and also accepting that I need to create the love that i need (not the sex but the love ) . This past week has been amazing feeling in love with the word itself. Tonight I feel pulled off-center.

2. What has it shown? Knight of Wands “Adventure daring, someone energetic and forceful. As a person he can be very charming confident. This can be a card of travel” I’ve traveled for love and I’ve been creative and adventurous in love. Day to Day working on feeling it…

3. What do I desire? The Devil “The Devil can mean illusions of any kind, mistakes, errors, clinging to values, situations or people who can harm you””the chains are big enough to be slipped” This may be reaching, but beyond the looking to punish myself aspect of love, i would guess that i am looking for chains that I could slip easily?

4. What holds me back? Temperance “…can indicate creative problem solving” battling compulsions”. .. hmmm, almost sounds like I keep pulling myself back from the brink. I get attracted towards a negative person or situation and then think better of it

5.-What does love ask of me? III of Swords “Sorrow with the hope that by accepting it, we can go beyond the pain. Conflict in a group, such as a family or at work. Understanding the quality of your own mind. ” I may need to meditate on this one for a bit Part of this reading doesn’t seem to fit, part of me screams out in denial and part of me believes that the reading points to love as being the unseen hole in the bottom of my boat.

6. What does love give me? The Empress “The Empress can indicate love and desire, not necessarily for a specific person but simply the power of love itself” So in the end to quote John Lennon “the love i take is equal to the love i make” Love gives me love gives me the ability and the desire to love. I love freely without cause on impulse. My choices as far as who and how i love seem questionable but loving is a necessity.

That’s how i would interpret those cards. I would question their relevance to my life at this space-time as they do not seem to reflect my current relationship tho past patterns are reflected for sure. Lots to meditate on. 4 major cards in itself seems of interest. with the Devil and Temperance providing an interesting balance almost indicating strength at a higher level. With the Wheel reversed balancing out the Empress. hmmm “Love is the law, love under will”. If i look at the cards from a point of view of archetypes rather than book meanings it gets kind of interesting. The Devil standing for willfullness, that love (The Empress ) is under. Would almost think of the combination of the two as that old comedy cliche of waking up after a wild night of passion only to find a wedding ring on your finger.
