Help with a reading?
My friend just gave me a reading while trying to teach me how to read the cards. I bought this deck with art that I really liked and have never really used it for a formal reading, more for .meditating on single cards or sort of "playing around" with simple spreads and a combination of meaning descriptions on a tarot app on my phone and my own interpretations/fellings on the cards based on the pictures.
Anyway, we used this deck and did the Celtic cross and I asked kind of about my future. I'm graduating soon and considering teaching English abroad so I asked if I asked about doing that.
The reading was uncanny. Most of the cards made absolutely perfect sense and I could even kind of guess what the cards/meanings would be before I saw them. Only one card didn't seem absolutely perfectly clear and even that one made a lot of sense, it just didn't seem like the very most appropriate option. It was also a very positive reading and I was really feeling like everything was leading towardthw cards telling me that teaching abroad would be a great experience and the timing and context were good and positive.
All until the last card. It was the 5 of cups. It didn't seem to fit with the rest of the reading and seemed to be saying that going abroad would end in disappointment and loss. and given the context of the reading that was very surprising. Neither my friend and I could make very good sense of it (granted, she's not super experienced with tarot.) My thoughts were maybe that it was telling me that my expectations might be too high and it would leave me disappointed? But that doesn't make much sense. I have stronger expectations that it will be a frightening, trying experience.
Does anybody want to offer any insight they may have into what this reading/card might be saying?
Here're the cards I got:
1. Six of pentacles
2. Four of pentacles
3. Three of wands
4. Ten of swords
5. Ten of pentacles
6. Ace of cups
7. King of pentacles
8. The high priestess
9. Five of wands (this is the one that didn't make quite as much sense to me as the others, but still made sense.)
10. Five of cups.
Again, I have no experience with this. Thanks for any tips or possible insight.
And apologies for typos and any weird sentences and explanations. Writing this on my phone and it does not like LJ much.
