@divinebIood Very well! Give me a moment and I will set up a spread for you — think on what is important to you at the moment and keep that question close to your heart.

@divinebIood I’ve set up a spread for you:

Trajectory
Current state -> obstacles -> goals
Advice

I have also added a shadow card and an oracle card for guidance!

@divinebIood Let us begin with your current state, embodied by the Seven of Shells (Cups). The Cups embody one’s emotional state and drive, suggesting that you are currently in a heavily emotionally invested position. This card in particular proposes that you are at an emotional crossroads —

@divinebIood — and that your heart is going to be asked to make a choice that will drive you down one path or another. A starting point spurred by passion or lack thereof, and a desire for a better future.

@divinebIood Your goal is represented by the Four of Crystals (Pentacles). Pentacles symbolize the physical state and position, the most grounded of suits. From your heart’s impetus, this card suggests that you seek a goal of stability, a home that is embodied both physically and emotionally.

@divinebIood This suggests that you may feel a lack of such stability at the moment, and that you yearn for it as an end-goal; a comfortable and personal place to settle both physically and emotionally.

@divinebIood Your trajectory shows itself as the King of Feathers (Swords), the most passionate and volatile card in the Minor Arcana. The King represents strength and force of will, and Swords represent action and ambition. Your path is laid with the groundwork of your own abilities —

@divinebIood — and you believe that you can only achieve your goals with personal force of strength and will, that you can carry yourself past anything with power and majesty.

@divinebIood The advice card manifests as the one diametrically opposed to the King of Swords: the Queen of Shells (Cups), which embodies gentle and emotional stability, love and tender care. I believe this card is advising you to have more love for yourself, and suggesting that you are —

@divinebIood — going too hard on yourself and should take a moment to reflect on what brings you peace and comfort. There are opportunities available to you for stability and love, and if you seek them out, you may find yourself even more empowered than before.

@divinebIood The main obstacle in your way stands as the Three of Shells (Cups), a typically positive card, but in your situation, perhaps more insidious than usual. This card represents happiness and play, and may suggest that your struggles lend themselves to the joy of others, trapping —

@divinebIood — you in a cycle of providing the happiness of others while unable to pursue your own. To get over such a wall, both the King of Swords and Queen of Cups will need to be manifest as representation of your empowerment and self-love.

@divinebIood Your shadow card is the Six of Crystals (Pentacles), a card associated with caring and unity with others. You are not alone, as alone as you may feel — you are encouraged to seek camaraderie and aid, so as to work your way through your obstacles.

@divinebIood Your oracle card is Phanuel, the Angel of Truth. Phanuel embodies honesty and shuns concealment, encouraging you to be clear in your desires and goals, the better to clarify your vision and the path to reach them.

@divinebIood And that brings the reading to a conclusion! I hope that you found it helpful — please let me know if you would like to clarify or read further into any of these cards! I wish you luck on your path, Suz — and I believe in you!
