Love is in the Air

Rider-Waite Tarot deck Centennial Edition by U.S. Games Systems (2009), Pixie's Astounding Mlle Lenormand Cards by Edmund Zebrowski (2010)

I have not used the good old Rider Waite deck for quite some time, so I thought I might as well dig it out from my collection and do a 6-card Tarot and Lenormand reading. I love to combine Tarot decks with 'matching' Lenormand decks so I used Pixie's Astounding Lenormand deck. This reading was done for Olivia who has just met a gentleman named Mike. She just simply wanted to know about the prospects of this encounter becoming something more serious or long-lasting. The first pair (from left) of cards was about Olivia, the second pair stood for Mike while the third pair represented their encounter (with its hopes and fears). So the the last two cards held the answer to her question although the first and second pairs were also important.


1. Olivia


She feels very strongly about this encounter almost to the point of being overwhelmed (10 of Wands). She seems to be doing a lot of things at the moment but she is very comfortable in her environment  and seems to be in a very good place (The Fish). She feels emotionally secure although I wonder whether she may feel a bit under pressure from Mike or just simply busy with things in general? Either way The Fish can assure her that she is doing just fine.


2. Mike


Mike is young (Page of Pentacles) and possibly quite settled, enjoying a comfortable life style. He may be a bit inexperienced (Page of Pentacles) but he likes to create, to experience the senses. He seems to have found his place in the world (The Anchor). I would say he may be a young entrepreneur or businessman who is already quite well-established. However, Olivia might want to make sure that he is not already committed to someone else or something else (as in being a workaholic).


3. The Encounter


Although there were no particular cards in this position that would highlight true love or a 'perfect' relationship, however the cards indicate that this relationship will upgrade to a higher, more mature stage (Knight of Pentacles) and may last for quite some time. However, for Olivia and Mike it will take some time and patience to get there. Nevertheless, at least it seems that this will be a sexually fulfilling romance with honesty and trust (The Lily), which is a very important first step towards an ideal partnership.


Summary:


Overall, there is a lot of heaviness and earthiness in this spread. Olivia seems to be a busy lady with a lot on her plate although she seems to be enjoying her busy life-style. She seems to be secure and happy with her current life. Mike also seems to be quite stable although may be a bit too young or inexperienced. However, the questions that Olivia needs to ask herself is : Is Mike already committed to someone else? From the last two cards it seems that it will become a sexually fulfilling relationship for both of them although I wonder whether all this earthiness would eventually dry out and become boring.
