A middle-aged friend of mine,
who already has children from a previous relationship, has come to me saying
she is seriously thinking of having another baby with her current partner,
asking me to consult my deck.
Well, I must admit, using the
cards for projecting childbirth is extremely challenging, as there are two
combinations only that clearly signal upcoming birth, and those are Joy paired
with Baby, and Constancy paired with Baby. It is also quite hard to tell
whether the newcomer will be a natural born child, an adopted one, or one
brought into the relationship by one of the parties.
But let’s look at what the
spread revealed in response to my friend’s query: The cards of Journey and Baby
were drawn alongside Gift, which denotes with certainty that a new addition is
coming into the family, at a time when least expected, albeit bringing much
joy. No clues are given concerning the time-frame, but my friend was not asking
about this anyway. (This reminds me that it is very important to always think
over prior to getting a reading what it is we want to know, and phrase the
question accordingly – are we focusing on how likely it is that a desired event
will ever occur, or do we want to know the time-frame for when it is likely to
happen?) The Card of Money tells us that my friend’s current relationship will
be greatly strengthened by this coming birth, which, Fortune assures us, is
sure to take place. Rarely do I see such a great spread, with so many positive
cards alongside each other! Wonderful news indeed! :)
