Guess I'm a late entry! LOL! Been having LOTS of computer problems lately, so just haven't had the time to post. Thanks for letting me read for ya, Rhutobello... And thanks for letting me post it up! :)

Here's the results.

1. The hope that will see you through
4 OF WANDS
Your hopes turn towards a desire for stability, comfort and reaping the rewards of hardwork. There's a need for recognition and standing out from the crowd. This is the Congratulation! Well done! card. You are correct in feeling this way (as you will see from the following cards.)

2. The inspiration that will encourage you
8 OF SWORDS (Rx)
Restrictions are falling away... You are shaking off the shackles of self-imposed fears, concerns and worries. What use to hold you back in the past is fast loosing a grip on you. You can see the results of going beyond the fear and doing it, and this is motivating you down the right track.

3. The guidance that will help you find your way
7 OF WANDS
Convictions will see you through!! You have the drive and competitive edge to stay one step above everyone else. You believe in yourself and will fight for what you know is true. You are not shirking away from any challenge/challenger or opposition.

This reading sounds like a Nike commercial... Just do it! LOL! By facing fears and going beyond them with firm conviction, you will achieve that which you hope for (stability, recognition and reward.)

Cheers everyone!
Carole.

The Three Blessings Spread
by LeeLoo



1. The hope that will see you through

FIVE OF PENTACLES
No matter how life kicks your hopes down, you have a beautiful optimistic spirit that stands in the shadows, whispering your name!
In the darkest of nights, no matter what evil covers your thoughts, that sweet, sweet spirit of optimism, touches your heart and you cannot give completly in to your darkest worries.
Why else would you reach out to hold onto what you can to keep your balance?

You are neglecting your health, during these down times, but you will see a light in that area also. Remember to call out to that ray of light that always is there beconing you!
Your hope lies within your optimism!





2. The inspiration that will encourage you

SEVEN OF PENTACLES
You know that you will be able to look back and see how you worried to much. Things do work out. You've always heard these words in your heart of hearts.
You may or may not be able to focus on this when times are at their roughest, but in the back of your mind, you do hear this simple reasoning.

This keeps most of your fretting under control.
It also encourages you to hang tight and remember to try to focus on what you have.



3. The guidance that will help you find your way

THREE OF WANDS
Your third blessing is your ablity to reach into your past, pull up what gave you strength in other times and endure each new trial of life.

You have the talent to expand, and leave behind what gives you comfort to reach new levels of strength.

Whether you see this or not, this is your blessing of guidence. What holds your hand as you take steps into the unknown.
She gives you the foundation to endure. She gives you insight. She is you.



BlackRose,
I have goosebumps as I do this reading. So I know its you, I am reading for.

You have many strengths within your spirit. Ones I admire and I know I have too.
It takes walking through the fire to know it will burn out and you will survive without losing who you really are!!

Thank you for letting me read for you!

I will only post the screen capture of this reading on the forum. I will only post this reading to you, unless you change your mind!!

HUGS!

Once all the readings are in, then we can discuss anything concerning our readings and how our Orphalese program helped us!
Sounds fun, huh?!

Once we hear from Thomas (who is still busy & we may have to let his reading slide) and LeeLoo we can go ahead and start kicking the bucket around. I will start a new thread for the reading discussions.

The next round will start on May 19. That will be a new thread, too!

Thanks to all who have participated in our first reading!

Reading for Cowhead - June 11, 2006

First of all, I'm really sorry it took me this long to get this to you - the last few days were crazier than I anticipated, lol. Anyway, on to the reading!

1. The hope that will see you through - 2 of Pentacles

This card seems to show that you have a great capacity for balancing different aspects of your life. Life can be a whirlwind or storm blowing around you, but you stand calmly and securely in the eye of the storm, never missing a beat. You have the focus, strength, and determination that will help guide you through the up's and down's of your life. Harmony will prevail, but it will prevail because of you.

2. The inspiration that will encourage you - 6 of Wands

Victory and success! Once you set you sights on something never stop until you reach your goal. Positive thinking can be so very powerful, but we often ignore this and discourage ourselves from ever even starting something with thoughts of possible failure. Your ability to focus on the positive outcome you desire will help you and encourage you to stay the course until you have achieved what you desire.

3. The guidance that will help you find your way - The Emperor

Everything about this card says strength, strong foundations, and logic to me. The Emperor is someone who knows where he is going, and has a plan to get there. It says you are well prepared with what you know when faced with life's decisions. Like the Emperor, your thoughts and opinions are valued by those around you (possibly more than you know). This card also speaks of the ability to be secure and comfortable with who you are, what you can do, and what you have achieved for far. When in need of guidance, don't be afraid to listen to the advice of those around you, but also pay attention to your inner convictions and what you know from experience.

Thanks so much for letting me read for you, and again, sorry it did take me so long to get this posted.

Cheers!

Leeloo,

Thanks for this reading. It has been years since I had someone else read the cards for me, so I was pleased to get such a nice reading.

I do indeed hope for greater balance and harmony in my life, and I appreciate your reminder to stay focused on the positive -- something that doesn't always come naturally for me.

I was especially pleased to see the Emperor come up as my Blessing of Guidance. The Emperor came up as my card of the year in a reading I did in January. In that reading, it represented the most important lessons in store for me in 2006, so to see it again in this reading, as the Blessing of Guidance, is just perfect. I like your take on the card -- I hope I can put it into practice.

Thanks again!

-- Cowhead
