Tarot - Love Test

My romantic intentions

The intention of the Seven of Pentacles is to grow the garden so that the fruits of the labour can be harvested. When applied to relationships, the garden is the relationship and the fruit is the happiness and feeling of being content that comes from a successful relationship.

The Strength I have to offer

The strength that the Hermit brings is an ability to take a careful look at a given situation before taking action. The Hermit feels no need to be the center of attention, and probably prefers to remain in the background. This lack of pressure allows the Hermit the necessary time to properly assess things making his decisions much more informed and reliable.

The Weakness that I have

The weakness that the Wheel of Fortune brings is a over-reliance on luck. Luck is never a guarantee and often it is fleeting. If you wish for luck to remain, hard work is required so that you can create your own luck. When there is luck without the hard work, it is easy to become complacent and suffer when the luck runs out.

Strength in partner to look for

The strength of the King of Cups is his stability. This stability is the result of knowing and accepting his limitations. This allows the King to set a realistic pace and keep it.

Weakness in partner to avoid

The weakness of the Nine of Wands is suspicion of others. Often this suspicion is the result of past experiences. For that reason it is important that you learn how to leave the past in the past and not drag the garbage into the future. If someone has betrayed you in the past there is reason to be suspicious, but just because one person has betrayed you doesn't mean everybody else will betray you.

What is at the heart of the relationship?

At the heart of a relationship governed by the Nine of Pentacles is the nest-egg. This nest-egg may be financial in nature, but can also be emotional in nature. Making sure that there is a home for the family is just as valid a nest-egg as making sure that you will continue to enjoy each other's company in the golden years.

Making the relationship work

To make a relationship work when the Five of Cups is present requires accepting the truth. Things are the way they are and no amount of wishful thinking will change that. If mistakes have been made, learn from them. Nothing is perfect but if you accept things the way they are you can work at making things better.
