Sample Basic (Short) Psychic Reading by Email

This is a reading I did for a woman I'll call Gloria. Gloria asked me these three questions:

1) What do you see for me regarding my marriage? I'm pretty happy but some things could be improved.

2) What do you see surrounding my job? I've been working at a small family-owned business for three years but would like to make a change.

3) Information around my kids - son ten years old, daughter eight years old. The son has been having some troubles at school. 

Here is her reading:

Reading by Email for Gloria

Hi Gloria,

A combination of cups cards comes up around your marriage.  I drew the three of cups and the five of cups, but they were overlaid with the three of swords. This tells me that there are almost two realities in this relationship. On the surface you present the perfect image of the "happy family" and your kids probably think everything is fine with you and your hubby. But the three of swords hints at some intense events in your past with this guy, issues of trust, disappointment, and even potential betrayal. It almost reads like not too long ago (within the past two years) one or both of you was seriously thinking about divorcing, but you decided to push those problems aside and get on with your marriage.

The concern I have here looking at this is that it seems that those problems were never fully dealt with. This could create some melodrama up ahead. You know how if you put a Band-Aid on a wound but don't clean the wound up first, the wound can still get infected? Throwing a bandage on it without first digging in there and cleaning out the wound doesn't help you to heal.

Well, a similar thing is going on here. You and your honey aren't talking enough about whatever those problems were. And it's naive to think that they are going away. Instead, they are just festering in the background, like a dull noise you can just barely hear, yet enough to concern you. At various times in your relationship these problems flare up again and they really cause you a lot of emotional pain. My sense is that you feel that you're not being properly respected in this relationship. This is very common in marriages where the kids are starting to grow up and the couple falls into a comfortable pattern of just going about their lives without truly focusing on each other as partners.

There is a lot of hurt here on your part. It may be that the passion has gone out of your marriage and you don't know how to get it back. Maybe you don't feel that your husband tells you you are beautiful enough, or you feel that he doesn't acknowledge you enough. Something here in your cards reads strongly about feeling that you're being taken advantage of.

The good news here with all of these happy cups cards is that you actually have a very solid foundation with your honey, and he has a lot of love and affection for you. It's just that he's fallen into some lazy habits. Some of this is probably due to the day to day stress of earning a living, dealing with the kids, etc. But he needs to be shown very gently yet firmly that you need more from him in a man to woman way. And you need to start sending the kids off to grandma's or putting them in camp during the summer or whatever it takes to reclaim privacy and passion with your honey. Your marriage shouldn't just be all about the kids. You're getting lost in this marriage and it's not helping your health or emotional well-being.

You can reclaim greater health in your marriage by scheduling "adult" time with your honey and not letting the kids stay up late or completely dominate your life. You and your  husband are the boss, not the kids!  Try to remember that and things will go a lot better for you. Sometimes you are way too indulgent with your kids. (But what mom isn't, right? :)

On to question two, about your work. This family owned business you work for has a rather sinister looking dark haired woman (queen of pentacles) hovering over you, and this person is a bit unpredicable in her behavior. One minute she wants one thing, the next minute she contradicts herself. This makes it very hard to deal with her. If she is one of the owners or is a manager there, no wonder you're seriously thinking about leaving!  I don't like her energy at all as I peek in remotely. It seems that she is angry a lot of the time and takes that negative emotional stuff out on the people around her. She may feel that she isn't given enough money or power in this business, and that might make her lash out at others. I'm sorry to say this, but I don't trust her looking at the cards. Meaning, be cautious around her.  She's the type who might try to sabotage you at some point if you start looking for other work. Be very secretive and protective about any job interviews you are going on, make sure potential employers only call you on your cell phone and not at your current workplace. Don't let this woman overhear your personal conversations.

There is a nice king of cups, fair-complected man there, maybe he is the husband of the other woman if they both own the business - or maybe he's just a senior employee there. He thinks very highly of you and I like his energy a lot.  Unfortunately I don't think he's very good at standing up to this other woman though when she's on the rampage. So unfortunately I don't think he will protect you from her if she get vicious for some reason. However, he is a good resource for you in many ways - a good business mentor who is generous in teaching you stuff, and a good professional reference for you if you start looking for other work.

I think you should start interviewing for new positions by spring of 2008 at the latest and if you do a lot of job hunting, especially using the internet and looking for jobs at online job boards, you should have something great lined up by fall 2008. If you decide to delay this process for whatever reason it might take you until winter 2008/2009 to get the job you want, but I recommend looking for that great position before then.

I see you in more of a corporate setting up ahead - where there are more employees and less intense personal family drama going on around you. You need to be somewhere where you can simply act like the professional you are and not have to deal with personal crap from emotionally imbalanced people (like that icky queen of pentacles!)

On to your third question, about your kids.

Your son is SO sweet - he is just this ball of happiness and kindness. A true "indigo child." I don't know if you're familiar with the concept of indigo children, but the idea is that the Earth is going through some changes, refining her energies somewhat, and in this new spiritual atmosphere a lot of very pure and sweet souls are being born to parents now. Some kids exhibit signs of being psychic at a young age, or they'll have tremendous talents and gifts.

Your son has strong artistic ability and could do well with graphic design, video game design, web page design, and even radio and audio engineering. I don't see him quite as strong on math and science, although he will do well with the life sciences like biology and psychology.  I think he is under a lot of pressure right now with one of his teachers -- I see a man, the knight of swords, maybe this is his teacher or principal. He and this man are like oil and water and I think your son is intimidated by him. So there is definitely someone around your son - a coach, a mentor, or a teacher - who is a bit scary and intimidating to him. However, I think if your son can be gently encouraged to talk about what he's experiencing at school, and perhaps if needed he can speak to a guidance counselor or tutor, then he'll pull around and get better grades by the second half of the school year.  He's a bright kid and a nice person.

Your daughter is all over the place in your reading - extremely frenetic and fun energy. She may be eight as you say, but she reads younger than that, more like a six year old. I don't know if developmentally she is behind her peers, but it seems to me that she has troubles focusing on traditional school. It's not that she's not bright - her intelligence is off the map - it's just that she is a VERY free spirit who needs lots of room to create and to experiment. So surround her with things like musical instruments, pets, toys, books, things she can interact with in positive ways. She will learn a lot through her hands so anything that involves using the hands is good like typing, piano playing, violin playing, grooming your pets, using building block types of toys where she is building things - that type of stuff.  She may be more emotionally immature than other girls her age, but she will hit her stride in a couple of years and adjust just fine to her classmates as she heads into middle school one day.

Okay, that's about it!  You have a lovely family and are very blessed, so please take the points I've mentioned and realize that the things I've mentioned are more suggestions for trouble shooting and improving things, not any reason to worry!  With a little tweaking and better communication, things with your husband as well as school issues with your son should start to improve. And start your job search whenever you wish but do it quietly so nobody at works catches on!

Thank you for letting me read for you!
