Anything specific I should know?
✦ I don't really know how comfortable I am with my boyfriend right now - which is a pretty clear indicator to me that something's not right.
✦ I don't know how relevant this is, but we'll be off to college soon.
✦ I would like to know if this is temporary or will get better... Or if we'll inevitably break up.
The cards I drew were the inverted nine of wands, the four of swords, the two of pentacles, the ten of cups, and inverted Temperance.
The nine of wands usually stands for resilience or strength in my readings, so the fact that it was inverted startled me. While I usually consider myself strong in my typical interactions, I'm weaker than I had originally thought in terms of love. I suppose the best way to put it would be that the decisions that I have made are the decisions that have placed me where I am now. As I was responsible for getting myself to this point, so must I be responsible to get myself out. I am not strong enough as I am, so I must seek out a way in which to attain that resilience.
The four of swords symbolize a trial of sorts. Because of a great task, difficulty, or some other frustration, I have been worn out and I need to rest myself in order to regain my effectiveness. The keyword here is rest and the message it sends is clear: I am only human - take a break.
The two of pentacles shows a need for balance. I've been rushing around trying to solve all of my problems at once and that never ends well. This card indicates that I should pause and prioritize my tasks and remember that life is equal parts work and play.
The ten of cups reads as contentment. I do not have it now, but it is something worth striving for. It is a reminder of what awaits me in my future so long as I put forth the effort to get there. Almost a pick-me up, the ten of cups is essentially another voice reminding me that there's a life beyond struggling.
The inverted Temperance is yet another call for balance. If the card was upright, it would be a signifier that I did have balance, but the inversion details that I am lacking in that department. This particular trait is something that has been visible repeatedly through this read.
When I combine the cards to gather a clear meaning, the message is essentially that my decisions have brought me to where I am now, but I need to step back, relax, and regain my center of balance in hopes of getting that much closer to that goal of contentment.
