Hmm. Quite appropriate for me right now. Though it also tied with the Empress, which - being a mother - also fits. Huh. Lots of ties in there...
dariyan | You scored as VI: The Lovers. This is a card symbolising couples, relationships and strong bonds. The love does not have to be physical, nor even called by that name. This card indicates the trust and openness of such a relationship. The two Lovers have no secrets from each other. In a Tarot reading this card can indicate the forging of a new relationship, the strengthening of an existing one or simply the two Lovers working together to overcome problems. This Card Reversed can represnt the loss of trust, possibly leading to the breakdown of the relationship, decption, pain.

Nov. 5th, 2005 05:09 pmI did a three-card tarot reading for myself this afternoon, regarding my current situation and how it's likely to play out. And things look like they're going to be okay:
My Past: Death The Death card represents self-realization; it raises the question of whether to hang onto something not worth having. It indicates a transformation of a situation that can herald new beginnings. Past events have finally been brought under control and one can make the changes necessary to live or to evolve rather than remain cocooned in the past. If you want to move past this point, you have to pass through death. Implied are both pain and rebirth; no transition of life is wholly without suffering for the loss of what was, but one should not fear the change this card indicates.
Rather obviously, I see Death as the dissolution of my marriage. Though legally it hasn't happened yet, as no paperwork has been begun, for all other intents and purposes, it's over. My husband has already given me back his ring, which is sitting in a box on my desk at the moment. This is a kind of death for me: the ending of one part of my life, the death of my schoolgirl fantasies about the nature of love and married life. It does hurt to have been so wrong about what I thought I was feeling; at the time I really thought I was in true love, and I spoke my marriage vows completely intending to honor them for the rest of my days (unless, of course, Legolas should someday show up *wink*). But the rebirth part is that I get to be an individual again - albeit an individual raising a child, but still - I get to learn about myself. I never really cared to, before; never thought much about it. But now I realize that there's something behind all these hokey "discover the real you" things my mom keeps sending my way. I had no identity before, but now this is my chance to make my life my own and become a whole person. Which flows nicely into...
My Present: The World This card deals with the ability to transcend the situation at hand. The querent has finally reached a point of recompense or reward. It may mean a complete new lifestyle, not just another cycle. It shows a new environment. The querent may be contemplating emigration to another country. Travel and the expansion of one's horizons becomes a reality and not a dream. Frustrating restrictions are removed. The querent recognizes her own strength of purpose. She celebrates a great accomplishment. For this, she is recognized by the world and, more importantly, by her own self.
This is success, finally being proactive in my own life; making a big decision and following through with it. While I'm not exactly "contemplating emigration to another country" (not immediately, anyway), I do feel a freedom I've never known before, especially in my marriage. I felt bound, trapped, that I and the circumstances I'd surrounded myself with were denying me some opportunities I should have had. And now that's all gone. I feel unencumbered, and that doing things like going back to school and spending time studying overseas (a requirement for my field) are actually achievable. I'm hopeful, and I have more focus than I have known... well... ever, in regards to my life path. I already feel successful and that I am the master of my own life. This is cool.
My Future: Four of Swords Signifies a rest from conflict, a respite rather than a definite truce. A peaceful situation, nevertheless, and a sign of convalescence. The querent has also been involved with other people's troubles and she now seeks a private retreat to gather her thoughts. There is a positive healing aspect with this card which shows a recovery from a serious illness or injury. The querent needs time to regroup. She may decide to spend more time alone and rediscover her own individuality; remove herself from the situation, meditate, and find her center.
I think the significant thing about this is that I finally feel that I actually have the time to spend on things like self-discovery and meditation; this "respite" in my future which only a couple of years ago would have made me crazy with impatience. I was such a hopeless romantic that all I ever wanted was to be part of a married unit. I never spent time examining myself or thinking of myself as an individual because I never thought - or wanted to think - that I would be alone. I was in such a hurry to fulfill my dreams that I jumped on the first boat that passed. But eventually I came to realize that I had missed something; that in my haste to end my singlehood I had ignored the opportunities it offers. So now I have the chance to revisit some of those opportunities, and do the growing up that I should have done before becoming a wife and mother. And for once, I feel like I have plenty of time.
Okay, so where will this all get me? Where will I be after I've gone through these steps?
Clarification: The Lovers This brings together the best aspects of a partnership in both men and women. The Lovers are symbolic of the dual or polarity of energies. It can inspire a brotherly or sisterly love which transcends the sexual aspect, as this is not necessarily solely a physical union, but also a union or companionship of souls and purposes. The Lovers is primarily a card of great rapport and understanding.
Harmony is in store. As the folks on Firefly would say, "Shiny."
Shiny indeed.
