Lost Bambi
I did a tarot reading for you also, which I have been trying to mail to you ... but without success as it has just been returned to me! So I will post it here for you xx
Self: Five of Water
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Past patterns that once confused you can be overcome; take action to change them.
The card in the Self position reveals aspects of how you perceive yourself right now.
When the Five of Cups is in this position, you are assessing the mixed messages you received in the past about relationships, an emotional legacy of highs and lows which you could be inclined to repeat. Every family creates an emotional climate that ultimately shapes the character and style of each child.
Early confusion about whether you were loved or wanted colors how you react to and interpret people in your present life. The Five of Cups suggests that you may be agonising over a pattern from the "bad old days" which is arising in your present life. Don't let yourself simply sink into feeling miserable. Get up and try to make it right again.
Situation: Four of Fire
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Don't hesitate to support a team effort that could be very effective and productive.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to social or circumstantial factors which could be affecting your life at this time.
When the Four of Wands is in this position, you are being drawn into a circle of creative, stimulating, high-energy people. Collectively you may give birth to an idea, business, product or endeavour.
The combination of energies confirms that the process will be fertile and productive. If you have an opportunity to support, invest in or lend your energy to a team like this, don't hesitate. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Challenges/ Opportunities: Two of Fire
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
If you use breaks in the action to rest yourself and refresh your awareness, you will be strengthened.
The card that lands in the Challenges/Opportunities position refers to ways that you can turn obstacles into stepping stones.
The Two of Wands in this position provides a challenge to learn to use down time productively. Creativity requires leisure. There is no available energy for forward progress at this time anyway, so rest and restore yourself.
Rather than waste time during such an opportunity, use it for contemplative relaxation or meditation. Don't worry about how to orchestrate things just yet; just open yourself to the sights, sounds and realities of the situation as it is. This will put you in a more favourable position when the time for action arrives.
Foundation: Seven of Water
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You know for a fact that you are not trapped, that you have choices, and that knowledge is invaluable.
The card in the Foundation position points to influences from your personal history, your roots and background.
The Seven of Cups in this position suggests that you have learned from past experience that you have many options, that there are always more than two choices. This confidence allows you to trust the flow of events even when details remain uncertain. As a result, you operate within a natural field of optimism and abundance - a psychic safety net that not everyone is aware of.
Tap an inner confidence, born of resourcefulness, that gives you a feeling of security - no matter how constricting the current situation may look. You know that deep within there is more than one way to work this out. That valuable awareness should give you faith and hope.
Recent Past: Mother of Fire
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
The end to a daunting period of pressure requires some rest.
The card in the Recent Past position refers to events that are just departing, recently influential but now diminishing in power.
The Queen of Wands in this position indicates that you are finally concluding the demanding task of overseeing a job to completion. It's been an exhausting challenge that asked a lot of you. You have needed patience, firmness and stamina to keep all the variables organised.
Even though the results of your work inspire pride, you may have worn yourself out providing will power for an entire group. Why not take a well-deserved respite from your labours and turn responsibility over to someone else for a while?
Higher Power: Five of Wind
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
When you examine self-centredness closely, you can restrain its influence on your choices and relationships.
The card in the Higher Power position reflects the broader perspective and influence of your conscience, Guardian Angel, inner wisdom.
When the Five of Swords turns up in this position, your greater self reminds you what a powerful and spiritually binding force self-centredness can be. It reveals itself when we take the bigger share for ourselves, knowing that someone else will have a bit less, or when we resort to the habit of blaming others when things go wrong with our plans.
A self-absorbed person compulsively seeks to be right at other peoples' expense. The Five of Swords is an energy that can take a self-flattering stance that diminishes others. Your Higher Power is asking that you observe this tendency not just in yourself, but in the lives of others. It's time to face down your own self-centredness and limit its impact on your important choices and relationships. You have some moral accounting to do, and amends to make, in order to rectify the "me first" habit.
Near Future: Ten of Water
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You are on the verge of fulfilling your grand plan.
The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralise tendencies.
With the Ten of Cups in this position, it appears as if the wandering tribe finally found the resting place where it can build and cultivate the land. There is a sense of homecoming and fulfillment. Imagine a gigantic celebration where everyone from elders to children converge, giving and receiving love freely. Together they gleefully catch up on each other's stories and enjoy the sense of bonding they've been missing.
During this upcoming experience you will feel slightly sentimental as your heart is opened and filled. It's a time of gratitude and rewards for labours well done.
Blocks & Inhibitions: Sister of Earth
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Under the circumstances you are inclined to hold yourself back, limiting your probability of success.
The card in the Blocks position points to self-undermining tendencies, areas where you could be in denial, where you could get stuck - unless you examine yourself and make some corrections.
When the Page of Coins (in some decks, a Princess) falls in this position, there may be a tendency to use your current station in life as an excuse to hold yourself back. In spite of this, your ability to contribute is a platform for all kinds of growth if that's what you want - but with a negative attitude you can certainly turn it into a dead end.
If you take that route, doors and windows begin to slam shut around you. So why slow yourself down with excuses? Why cling to limited thinking about yourself or your potential? When you answer these questions, you will break through what has been holding you back and your natural confidence will rise again. Then your success in an endeavour or special relationship will be assured.
Allies: Three of Wind
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Turn to others with whom you can share your experience deeply in order to gain objectivity and comfort.
The card in the Allies position points to people who can be supportive or helpful to you at this time.
The Three of Swords in this position suggests that circumstances are isolating you from trusted confidants who know how to really listen to you. Sometimes, especially in families and close-knit groups, the person you usually process your feelings with is the same person with whom there seems to be problems.
It is difficult for any of us to reach a healthy view on loss, broken trust and abandonment without assistance from someone. Is there anyone you trust enough to consult with now who is not part of the problem?
Find a way to share your experience with someone who possesses some objectivity, who will give you realistic feedback. No one wants to expose their pain to superficial examination, but one or two deep conversations with a person you trust could make a world of difference. There is a needed piece of information you will not arrive at by yourself; a third party mirroring it for you will help you perceive it clearly.
Advice: Four of Wind
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Concentrate less on the opinions and biases of others. Be open to intuition and insight from a deeper source.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonise what you want with what is currently possible.
The Four of Swords in this position strongly urges that you keep your own counsel in this situation. There may be too much fear and hostility in the environment for you to be heard. It might be that your ideas are not ripe enough or that you are not ready to listen to feedback from others.
If you spend more time in contemplation, you may successfully disregard the emotional occupations and biases of others. For now, closely observe inner events. The time for sharing will come later.
Long-term Potential: Three of Earth
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Don't underestimate your capabilities or trivialise what you do.
The card in the Long-term Potential position points to unknowns still taking shape. It is the "wild card" yet to be played.
The Three of Coins in this position indicates that over time you are going to build up something valuable and make quite a name for yourself.
Don't underestimate yourself or diminish the quality of what you do. Give priority to nurturing and further developing your vision and skills. Only you can contribute your unique gifts, which are amazing and masterful. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
