I’m skeptical, but why the hell not. I have a work related question. I think it is a fork-in-the-road/relationship-type question.
To sum it up:
The person you were thinking about has the attitude of “take me as I am”, tends to trust just about everyone until that person breaks the bond of trust, Has a past to deal with and has a desire to move ahead… they’re just a bit slow out of the starting gate.
This person may seem like they dont know where they want to go with you so they’re just milking the situation, it’s like they’ve found a comfy spot and they dont really want to move when they should, perhaps they do not feel they deserve to be happy.
Give them a firm push if you want the relationship to go anywhere. The impression that I got was that you would have to be the one to make all the moves and most of the decisions, they’re just along for the ride - which could be bad if this person does not know what they want.
Does that help clarify, or still not addressing the #3 Love-related w/specific person?
3, love, specific person (this one seems to be very popular… I want to see if I can overload the cosmic database and shatter the weave. Okay, and I’m just curious too, ya happy? :p)
Since I forgot to bring my “Idiot’s guide to tarot readings”, how about some lottery numbers?
23, 16, 14, 25, 18, 41
A fork in the road for me, please.
Kind of.
I’m just not the sort of person who likes to make all the decisions.
I’d like yearly outlook. I was thinking about a relationship question, but I suspect that I already know what the answer will be, and a yearly outlook might be more useful (assuming that I get a “true reading” instead of something you made up - although either might be equally helpful at this point).
I’ll take a fork in the road reading, if you don’t mind.
And the other person you had in mind?
You/your state of mind:
You, and probably the people involved, have become bogged down in murky energy and need a breath of fresh air.
Any outside influences:
Keep an eye out for unexpected good fortune, especially those last-minute rescues - someone’s got your back! Be sure you “pay it forward”.
Result of your favored choice:
“Mothering” turns into smothering and cutting the apron strings will not happen without alienating those we are trying to help. Confusion of emotional boundaries which may result in physical problems such as digestive or eating disorders, or emotional difficulties with giving care or receiving care from others. Burnout when there should be nurturing.
Be careful that you do not exhaust yourself and forget to nurture yourself or allow others to do so. Rage and cruelty directed at those who rightfully depend upon you also falls into this extreme category.
Result of your less-favored choice:
Oh help! Get someone to send a balloon up and pull you back down to Earth with it - this is urgent! It is difficult, if not damn near impossible, to contact you from Planet Earth while you are floating about in your own personal soap bubble.
Or, learn to fly properly. Dont lose yourself as a whole and view yourself as much less than you are.
*from what it looks like, neither choice is prime select and will be difficult to keep yourself grounded and balanced.
You/your state of mind:
Your inner-self is trying to communicate with you. Listen to your your own inner knowing, a time to open the inner door to intuition. You have a keen sense of perceptiveness and I would not be surprised if you are clairvoyant.
Any outside influences:
it’s time to face the fact that your attitudes and beliefs about yourself are your own. You may have learned them from others but the others are not responsible for the here and now. You are. If you choose self pitty and pessimism, you make a choice that makes your life worse. Now is the time to stop the self-destructive habits.
If it is someone else that is being this way, refrain from nagging, scolding, or complaining at them when they get it wrong and support them by giving them positive feedback when appropriate.
Result of your favored choice:
The clues to the answers you seek and the things you need to know are all around you. You are surrounded by omens, portents, and signs - Noooo, not the big billboard with large letters on it signs. They are in the small happenings in your life. Be awake and aware. Pay attention to others body language, it may give you very useful information.
(again, this goes back to listening to your intuition without doubting yourself)
If you work out what the question really is, it is much easier to recognize the answer when it comes.
Result of your less-favored choice:
All times of hardship offer the same challenge: to grow or to diminish. The choice is yours - no storm, no darkness, lasts forever.
Most likely NO
why?
self absorption, obsession, anger, destruction
oughts and shoulds entangled with feelings of guilt, too many lose ends
chaos within
You/your state of mind:
nurturing, creative, productive
Any outside influences:
Communication - clear communication is important here. Listen carefully, be articulate and open.
Result of your favored choice:
Emotional needs not met. Or, this could mean there is confusion, a muddled memory, and irritability. Take a cold shower and cool off, calm down, and quiet your emotions before taking any action.
Rememebr - clear and open communication is vital here.
Result of your less-favored choice:
Be forewarned of using your skills and abilities to do a half-assed job - it will the path to destruction, whether of hopes and dreams or the environment, or of lives. Do not go down this road if you are not willing to give it your all, there is a reason you are not leaning in this direction.
You/your state of mind:
inner shadows, depression madness, full of riddles.
(I sense the Mad Hatter here) - you tend to stick with the same ol’, same ol’ - which can be maddening in itself. The world is changing, but are you changing with the world?
The answers you truly need are to be found deeply within yourself. What do your nightmares tell you?
Any outside influences:
Maintain sanity by staying earthed. DO THIS NOW. Important information is coming your way, but you can only receive it properly if your feet are on terra firma and your head is well connected to the rest of your body.
Still uncertain which path is better than the other?
Result of your favored choice:
This can lead to behaviour that is opportunistic, self centered, inconsiderate, selfish, and childish. Immature, too. Clinging to unrealistic notions about security, clinging to the known path, and rejecting adventure.
Result of your less-favored choice:
This is the road to communication. Open communication will enhance the chances of success all around. Watch for body language, incomplete sentences, and unfinished thoughts, and try to discover what these signals are meant to get across.
Looks like a round-table discussion with your colleagues is in order?
Stepping outside your comfort zone may reap many rewards, dont get stuck in a rut.
Well, she did up and move out. We just haven’t gotten around to getting the divorce.
I quess we really should.
Well, I couldn’t possibly guess whether you just made it all up, or if you used your cards.
I will say that the last half of your reading does have me thinking, as it does do a decent job of covering my choices at this point.
The impromptu, virtual round-table I had yesterday with my co-workers didn’t help as much as I had hoped, but was interesting to see you mentioned a similiar idea. Thanks for the reading. I think I’ll have plenty to chew over this weekend.
I pulled the cards - and nearly fell over w/ the one that represented your state of mind atm… are you really like that, a bit on the mad side??? And to pull another card supporting the first… yup, uh-huh.
Did you keep an open mind when you had the round table? Did you pay attention to body language and the like? Are you being stubborn, wanting to keep things the way they are instead of trying something new???
Ok - you got me, hit me with another follow up question if you like, and feel free to send in private. But at least tell the fellow dopers just how mad you truly are! 
There’s absolutely no way to ask this without coming off like a jerk, so, I’ll just try it this way:
Am I still someplace on the list?
Thanks 
Yes, yes! you are and you did not come across as a jerk. I appreciate everyone’s patience - the yearly outlooks take a wee bit longer to do than some of the other options, so I try to do the shorter pulls while at work during downtime.
I will get yours done tonight or tomorrow while I’m off work.
I would love a love-relationship reading. No one person specifically, but there is a limited cast of characters.
Thanks!!!
