No, it isn’t political, it’s romantic–a tarot forecast that provides a brief overview of the current state of your relationship.
Heart of the Matter
A lack of faith and deep insecurities are sources of stress and the strain of these difficulties is coming between you and a partner. Some of the issues may be tied to finances, differences in opinion, sexual complications, or differing values and beliefs that create misunderstandings causing either of you to be secretive, especially where money is concerned. As a result, you may feel deprived of the love and physical connection you need from a partner.
The Crossing
(What Challenges or Affirms the Above)
This is a very traditional relationship where one of the partners may dominate the other in an authoritarian manner. If this is you, you wield the power and make the decisions, but should do so responsibly and with sensitive consideration of partnership. Remember that it’s okay to be vulnerable if the goal is greater intimacy; fulfillment shouldn’t be one-sided. If you’re a woman unconsciously seeking a father archetype, you may actually prefer a strong, dominant partner. Although conservative, this is a union that has the potential to be long-lasting if the partnership can overcome control issues.
Underlying Influence
You’re at a cross-road decision concerning your alliance–a beginning, steps to the next level of relationship, or an ending. You may be putting a lot of thought into love and marriage if you’re involved with someone you feel is the love of your life. If dissatisfied, you may be wondering what your next move should be. Once you start being your truest self without fear of recrimination, your relationship might actually improve. For some, an outside force or influence is a factor for good or ill. A Gemini person (sun, moon, rising) might hold an integral role.
The Recent Past
You’ve experienced a few battles with a mate and aren’t altogether sure if there were any clear winners. Whatever you got out of this situation doesn’t feel like a prize, especially if your relationship hasn’t played out as planned. Perhaps the win-at-any-cost approach blinded one of you to a deteriorating situation. For some, your partner may have over-stepped boundaries or tried to gain a financial advantage at your expense. Your response to this no-win situation might have been to counter with the same destructive behavior, but the better approach was withdrawal. Though you may feel humiliated by the selfishness of a power play, your frustration has actually compelled you to become more self-reliant and take the steps you should have taken before.
Crowning Influence
This queen is well aware of her own worth and the value of all things. She may represent an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) or the embodiment of her traits within you. The current emphasis is on taking a practical approach to renew or regenerate your connection that may include a show of tangible results for those efforts. The choice may be to plan a getaway with a partner or take some time away from your partner. As pragmatic as you are, you secretly desire to be courted and showered with affection. However, your passion toward a partner has a direct correlation with how safe you feel materially and emotionally in the relationship. The challenge is too much emphasis on the material and outward appearance to the point of losing sight of what’s really valuable. If this is so, generosity can be replaced with a crippling influence of jealousy and greed. At the end of the day, one of you is seeking some definitive answers from the partner.
Outcome
A sudden change puts you or the relationship under pressure and takes things in a totally new direction. For some, this may be a relocation, renovation, or purchase of a property. For others, this is an external event that comes out of nowhere prompting a strong wake up call or reality check. A radical shift is taking place that has the potential to upend life as you know it. In the positive, it could mean suddenly falling in love, a marriage, career change, or change in residence. In the negative, this indicates strong confrontation that could lead to a break up, separation, or divorce. Even so, when the dust finally settles you’ll feel liberated by the release of a false lifestyle. Your moment of truth has arrived.
