So, I am sitting in my house, all of the windows open enjoying the breeze caressing my shoulders, listening to the birds chirp, and watching a very young Harrison Ford on Blade Runner. Checked my email, found one from © Lotus Tarot so I went for a free reading. I was also asked in the comments (thanks, Kate!), and this site only uses the major arcana for this reading, so my getting 6 major cards is not the great thing I thought! But, I still like them. So, today's question...
Will I recognize love when I find it this summer?
So, I am assuming that love is coming this summer. This is good. Positive thoughts being put out. Now, I need to be able to recognize it and accept it when it shows up. Here's what they said...
Card 1 (The Empress) : How you feel about yourself now »
This is a time for nurturing, material and domestic comfort, a feeling of abundance, harmony, joy and love. A time for motherhood - you may already be pregnant or thinking about motherhood, if female of course! If male, this is a period of joy and abundance for you too - the appearance of The Empress here could also indicate that your mother or mother figure could be of great significance or comfort at this time. This is also a card of creativity so it is a good omen if you are feeling creatively inspired at this time. (I have been thinking a lot about things, and realizing that one regret I will probably always have is that I don't have any children, so I think that's where this one comes in.)Card 1 (The Empress) : How you feel about yourself now »
Card 2 (The High Priestess) : What you most want at this moment »
Card 2 (The High Priestess) : What you most want at this moment »
The cards suggest that what you most want at this time is for a secret to be revealed, a secret held deep within yourself or another? Go within and listen to your heart and instincts. The appearance of The High Priestess tells you that the power of the divine feminine is with you, trust it. (I do want a secret to be revealed within myself. That secret is Trust. I miss Trust, and the Love that goes with it. I really want to be able to reveal ME, not the face I put on to go out in public.)
Card 3 (The Emperor) : Your fears »
Card 3 (The Emperor) : Your fears »
You are feeling that success is just around the corner but it feels elusive, just out of reach. You are concerned that the support and help that you want from your father, husband/partner or a man of significance in your life won't materialise. Trust and ask for the help you need, and success will be yours. (The men of significance in my life aren't trustworthy. My Dad, today, told me again that he can't be trusted. He was speaking of regrets. He was wondering what life would have been like if we had stayed in Ohio. I said we would have all grown up as city girls. He flashed his evil grin and said he still could have moved us all out to the country. Which, of course, would have ruined his reasons for staying in Ohio which was so Mom could have kept her job.)
Card 4 (The Tower) : What is going for you »
Card 4 (The Tower) : What is going for you »
Sometimes sudden disruptive change is inevitable, and as painful as it may seem, we come through it a stronger and better person. No matter how disruptive things are at the moment, or if you feel life is really against you, re-evaluate and move on - often a new direction can bring new opportunities you never dreamed of. If you have been planning to move home you will be experiencing setbacks. (I do feel that life, as in lack of friends and family, is against me. I am NOT planning to move home. I have a home and I like it. But, I have been thinking about updating the resumé and poking about for a new job on campus. Perhaps it really is time. I also felt like maybe Dad is going to pass away soon. He is so sad right now, and in so much pain from his health...)
Card 5 (Temperance) : What is going against you »
Card 5 (Temperance) : What is going against you »
Life will seem hectic and full of challenges and you will find it hard to have the right perspective on things. You may have a rival in love or at work, and if so, question whether that person or situation is really right for you. This is a time for being calm and patient and life will soon have a sense of normality again. (Calm and patient. Always good advice. Not looking forward to finding out what the challenges are but I guess I will be stronger in the end.)
Card 6 (The Star) : Outcome »
Card 6 (The Star) : Outcome »
This is a time of good luck and fortune, perhaps after a period of struggle and heartache. Good health, possibly after a time of illness, and good fortune that will give you a new zest of life. If considering a new love affair, new job or career, or travel, then go for it. You may also receive a gift or gifts! (Well, it's nice to have permission! And to know that the outcome will be good. I will, of course, keep you posted.)
Here is my Tarot Reading from February 5, 2012. In that one, Temperance is what was going for me. I feel like it was pretty spot on, good things have happened such as this glorious spring and finding out I am pretty good at making friends here at OS. Now, can I please translate that into my physical world? I know, never satisfied.

So, thanks for the moral support, you kind, generous, warm-hearted person.
Is the site you are using only showing you the high cards (21 cards of the high arcana?) If so, high cards so the big picture, but in combination with the lower cards gives you much more detail. (For example the Knight of Cups is a "robber lover" and if he shows up, that would mean you will meet a "great guy" who is a real rat underneath).
I am a reader, but can not read myself (doesn't work), so I use this http://www.llewellyn.com/tarot_reading.php?Deck=1&Layout=1
you can select your deck and spread, and choose if you want reverse cards (I do online, but when I read people I do use reverses).
Good luck with the new man, wherever he may be!
Margaret, we'll excise the wart and get some ear hair removal cream and then you'll probably dump the hot guy and chase after my newly hot guy who will let his looks go to his head and dump both of us for some floozy who will use him up and throw him away OR we could find out he's a really sweet, really RICH guy who spent all of his time making money because the girls didn't like him and he just wants someone to hang out and play with now. Either way, a winner. Thanks, sis!
But I am still me,myself and I still asking...Will I recognize love when I find it;..Τhank you..for reminding me what to ask...Wishes for a beautiful month..Best regards..
John, that is the crux, isn't it.
thanks for sharing
