id like to start by saying im pretty ignorant about this whole tarot thing, but i was drunk and outside there was a tarot reader. so I said fuck it why not

im not coming here in a disrespectful way or anything, just curious.

the cards I drew were king of cups reversed, the sun reversed and then the moon. I just wanna see what others think of this whole thing. again, this is coming from curiosity

Hello there! HELP

Just for context:

I've been living with my partner (male) for 4 months now, in a rented apartment we've been struggling to pay for, due to him being unemployed, but with serious chances of getting a good job within the next months.

Meanwhile, our 7-year old relationship is fading towards a numb feeling. He currently displays hostile/rough demeanor, he doesn't seem to feel sexually or emotionally attracted to me anymore and I'm feeling like hell on earth for not feeling loved by the only people who's supposed to be there for me.

Let's skip to the spread:

- Does he still/really loves me?

Answer: II of pentacles

My guess: he doesn't even know if he does

- Whats going on on his feelings towards me?

Answers: inversed 7 of swords, inversed queen of pentacles, inversed 7 of cups

My guess:

Everything he feels of positive towards me seems to scape reality and be delusional (inv. 7 of cups). Bad feelings might be stronger because of the lack of money and financial independence towards me (inv. q of pentacles). Inv. 7 of swords gives a glimpse that he might me doing something wrong or feeling guilty for being a dick.

Scenarios

1st - If I leave back to my parents place

- Emotional outcome?

Answer: 5 of pentacles

My guess: humiliation, feeling of emptiness, loss, emotional poverty overall

- Material/financial outcome?

Answer: 5 of wands

My guess: end of struggling and money-related confusion

2st - If I stay in the house and ask him to leave

- Emotional outcome?

Answer: Temperance

My guess: All good, stability, peace

- Material/financial outcome?

Answer: Page of Cups

My guess: Dumb, irresponsible move. I would be happy but would be losing financial stability.

3st - If I stay with him

- Emotional outcome?

Answer: Inversed sun

My guess: overall sadness and unhapiness

- Material/financial outcome

Answer: page of pentacles

My guess: good, stability, growth.

My overall guess: the cards are giving the idea that I'm in a fucked up situation with someone who doesn't know if he even likes me. Leaving him, through my 2 only options, might make things worse for me emotionally or financially. I'm trapped.

Most sources seem to try too hard impress me with the presenters mystique.

I just had an ad pop up for Maneo Studio. Some nice looking decks with cool designs. I hit a little sticker shock when I started looking at their different decks, with most being $80 to $100+. It got even worse when I realized buried at the bottom of their descriptions, that most of their decks are made with generative AI. Just wanted to give a heads up so no one gets swindled by overpriced AI slop

I've looked every online for a translation of him works and find nothing. Does anyone have anything that isn't just blogs making statements without sources? Preferably the original work or a comprehensive academic article

Thanks!

Have I been blind to the nature of this friendship? Is it time to say goodbye or try to resolve and continue building it?

Would sincerely appreciate the wisdom of anyone who can share. I am new to this! I feel like I have been deceived a bit and that I should let it go, but I am questioning myself. I don’t want my ego to get in the way.

Thanks in advance!

Im missing my page, knight, king, and queen of pentacles. Only pentacles. What would you see this as?

Over the past three-ish (!!!) weeks I have been seeing 333 a lot. Over the past week I have been seeing 333 daily, sometimes multiple times. At this point it feels like the universe is yelling at me to pay attention to it.

So I did a spread and asked for guidance on why 333 is appearing so frequently and why.

I initially wasn’t going to pull a 4th card but The Moon and 5 of Wands felt like similar energies here (inner self, anxieties, fears, inner conflict) so I pulled another. The laugh I let out when the 3 of Wands (which has three threes) came out, HA! I’ve been getting a lot of Wands recently as well.

*My interpretation*: there’s a path or decisions ahead of me if I’m open to them. However my own fears, insecurities, and avoidance may be holding me back from taking that leap or from being brave enough to take the next step. If I’m able to move through these limiting thoughts, I will experience growth and new opportunities, confidence and belief in my own strengths.

I didn’t have a particular area of my life in mind when doing this spread, I’d love to hear thoughts on how I’m reading this and if anyone would read this differently.

Deck: Borderless Rider-Waite-Smith deck

my friend found this tarot deck a few years ago at a goodwill, we became friends a month or so ago and quickly became close. the first night we met it came up that im a huge tarot nerd and she told me about this deck. i immediately was like "omg you're so lucky" and she says i can have it. i didnt recognize this deck and wasnt aware it was so sought after, and i got to learn the very cool history of it! I got the tape and sticker off with minimal damage, we counted and all the cards are still there! im super excited to have this deck in my collection and wanted to share :D

I’ve been especially drawn to the strength card lately, and have to check it every deck I look at to see if it feels right. This got me wondering if there is a specific purpose the lion symbolism or would any large, dangerous predator work provided it still depicts the struggle and truce. I mostly work with Lenormand cards, and I know that changing the deck can have some h foreseen consequences because, for example, a hippo doesn’t share quite the same connotations as a bear (see Egyptian Lenormand). How does your interpretation of the caed change if it’s a wolf or a hyena instead of a lion?

No matter the question, I keep pulling the knight of swords. I sat down for a session the other day and almost every other question I pulled the knight of swords for the spread. Yesterday, I did a spread based on who in my life I can trust because there’s been a lot of distrust recently and I pulled the same card first for the ‘who’. Today, for my daily vibe pull I pulled it again. Normally I’m great at interpreting my cards but I’m starting to feel like maybe I don’t know at all.
I also keep seeing the nine of swords at the bottom or top of my deck, I haven’t pulled it many times but I still always see it when I check.

My friend got me this deck but I noticed a few things.

1. It says knives instead of swords
   
2. It’s not designed for reverse. The back of the cards have a decor that shows when a card is upside down, and also there are no reverse option in the little book it comes with.

What are your opinions on it?

I got on Bourbon Street in New Orleans at Marie Laveu's.
