When the Tarot reading says something you don't want to hear...

For the most part, when people consult a medium for a love reading, they're already questioning the relationship. Recently, I had a woman consult me about her wayward boyfriend. I sensed darkness and dishonesty. I pulled 3 cards: the devil, the death card, and the 10 of swords! What are the chances?!

Note, there are no 'bad' Tarot cards. But there are warning cards. Essentially, these are still good cards because we need to be warned sometimes. We might not like warnings but we then later may look back and feel grateful for the warning.

Let's briefly dissect the 3 cards:

The Devil card: addictions, unhealthy attachments, codependency, procrastination, feeling stuck.

The Death card: major phases ending. Chapters closing. Time to let go to allow for rebirth.

Ten of Swords: hitting rock bottom. ''If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten''. Same lesson being learned over and over. Time to turn over a new leaf.

The relationship was over. No chance of resuscitation, according to the cards. Is it my place to tell her this? Yes and not. She came to me for my insight. She doesn't have to listen to me or believe me. I am a medium and a Tarot reader, not a therapist. I'm given information from Spirit and I simply deliver the message. There are so many moving parts in any situation. A good medium is correct 80% of the time because things can always change. Anything can happen to alter the course of things. A reading today can be different tomorrow. However, it's hard to argue with those 3 cards. They're probably the 3 least desired cards to get in a love reading.

So, I delivered the message gently. I told her that the relationship needed a break; the relationship had hit a brick wall and neither of them could grow anymore while together. Of course, she asked if they will get back together, if things will be magical again someday. I prefer not to predict more than a year into the future because a lot can change and alter the prediction beyond that time frame. (I am weary of psychics who give 20-year predictions. I advise you to take those predictions with a grain of salt because we always have choice and can alter things, especially if we're aware of what's on our path).

I told her that things would not be harmonious between them in the next 6-12 months. I reminded her that pain and grieving are our biggest teachers. If we can grow instead of fall apart when in pain, then ultimately, we'll be OK. And sometimes better off than before.
