Today’s Reading
Today, I did another reading of the Haindl. I wanted to ask specifically about my relationships, specifically whether I’d actually ever have one again. The cards were interesting. Here’s what I got:
Foundation: Material Difficulty (Five of Stones)
You ain’t kiddin’. If finding out your husband has had his second (and this time long-running) affair, getting divorced, going into major debt to keep your house, and having major changes at work doesn’t count, I don’t know what does. The card description actually says that it’s a time of “problems, loss, or illness. It may be a time when nothing seems to make sense.” That’s, to my mind, completely true.
Present: Richness (Ten of Stones)
This card denotes a “full life, one that is healthy and vibrant, with security and joy.” Not sure I’m seeing the security part in money yet, but regarding the rest? I absolutely do. I have fabulous friends, a house, great kids, and while I don’t have a relationship in the way I might like one, I have lots of rich relationships with people all around me. And I’m so utterly grateful for that I cannot even say. The card also is supposed remind us too that “Richness comes from simplicity and respect for life.” Amen to that.
Future: White Buffalo Woman (Daughter of Stones)
This one was interesting, because I picked three stones cards, and yet, this one tells me I have more to do. This card denotes great energy and dedication to something. To help others, possibly in political causes. It could indicate a position as a leader, as well. Interestingly, when taken with my question, it doesn’t really fit–I was asking about a relationship in the romantic sense, but the card here seems to tell me that I’m going to have other types, instead.
Remember: I don’t think this is a magical thing. Instead, I think these items give me clues to how I’m thinking and feeling–in other words, I make the meaning in the cards. Right now, I’m not sure what kind of a relationship I might get, and the crush that I have seems impossible. So perhaps what I really should be doing is focusing on these other relationships in my life, instead. Towards great energy and richness. At least, that’s how I’m currently seeing it.
