His Best Approach

Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

This reading seems to be about a man who is deep in thought and he is probably planning to do something major (Thought). He is facing the Widower and this can mean that his plans are  either directly connected to or linked with a man (who is probably older than him) or he is advised to use masculine wisdom (less emotional, more realistic, more straightforward approach). The Thief card can indicate a number of things depending on context or the question asked. It can indicate that this man's intentions are not really good or he is likely (or advised) to use a more indirect approach (strategy, cunning) to execute his plans.  There may also be an element of rivalry (probably between the two men) coupled with a feeling of frustration or disappointment.

Opportunities

Constancy is the central theme of this reading and it suggests that we are being watched or supervised in regard to the situation or that the situation we are in is not likely to change for a while. This could simply be because the time is not right for that to happen. It is a bit like The Hanged Man in Tarot suggesting that we may be in a limbo and perhaps it is best to wait a bit (watch and learn) instead of taking action. The Thief and the Gift could indicate missed opportunities or that an opportunity that has come up recently requires some sort of cunning or trickiness in order to carry it out successfully.  This ties in with Constancy because if our actions are being monitored then we surely must be careful how we handle things. The Gift card is a very positive card indeed and the opportunity it offers us is likely to do with a new job of some sort or something that requires duty and following certain rules (Officer) and this may also bring some great financial rewards (Money).

Feeling Like a Failure?

Here the central card (Loss) is the key or the main theme of this spread. The person does not feel successful and may also have suffered an actual loss of some kind (not necessarily a financial loss as there is no money card that would confirm that), which is also confirmed by the Misfortune card. The Visit card tells me that there have been a succession of losses or brief periods of unfortunate events that may have led the querent to feel that way. However, the Fortune card together with the Baby card promises a very happy ending to his misery and the start of something new (possibly something lucrative and successful).

Just Relax

In this combination we see a man in the Enemy card who is facing the couple in the Merriment card. These two cards in combination could represent jealousy or an actual person who may want to harm us in one way or another but it can just simply mean that we do not make enough effort to enjoy ourselves or that we can not switch off (relax) for some reason. The Visit card could tell us that this situation may arise because we feel there are other things that have to be dealt with or that we do not feel loved or appreciated enough. However, Visit can also mean that our situation (that the other two cards are 'talking about') is only temporary and will be over soon.

The Plan

Universal Fantasy Tarot, published by Lo Scarabeo (2006)

The man is making plans for his future and he is considering all his options in light of his current situation (Two of Wands) by observing what looks like some sort of map, and I usually see this map as the map of his life but of course this may well be just a plan of his current endeavour.  He has been through some difficult times and has been feeling drained mentally (Queen of Swords). With her flowing blue dress and her face slightly covered up to hide her emotions; this queen perfectly represents the sometimes harsh mental processes that can occupy one's mind as well as a harsh environment that saturates one's mind with an excess of negativity or stress. The Four of Wands promises a much needed rest or even celebration that will hopefully end or at least suspend his current state of stress and worry.

New Beginning

There is some sort of negativity that surrounds the situation and the person is advised to pause and reflect upon it before progressing with whatever they are planning to do. They need to act quickly as things seem to be moving forward very fast and they can expect some good news to come through or this could even be a small financial reward. Either way things are moving forward very fast and the person is advised not to rush into something that they have not thought through. The Baby can represent many things but I think in this case it represents the beginning of something new and I think that things are steadily moving towards the positive side as the messenger in the middle card is facing away from the Enemy and turning toward the Baby who is also facing the messenger.

Preparing for Better Days

The Widow is at the centre of this spread facing Hope and turning away from Merriment. This could be about an actual person who has seen better days in her (or his) life and now they are waiting or literally hoping for better days to come through. Hope here can indicate all sorts of things including investing your energy into something enjoyable, travelling (overseas) as well as preparing psychologically for a change in your life style. The advice that one could give in this case is that the person should look on the positive side of things and they should try to be more optimistic about the future even if they have been through rough times. However, in order to get there one must do something about it and so Merriment could actually be the answer to the problem; so instead of turning away from it, the person should embrace and celebrate his or her past because they probably had a good time and whatever brought them those happy times should be sought in the present. 

Make-Believe

Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards, manufactured by KVIZ, Hungary

Falseness and Marriage indicate that a relationship or friendship may not be what it seems or it may be unpredictable. A sudden change or a realisation of the truth in a matter (Misfortune) may have brought about some doubts the person may be having about a relationship. However, this combination could also work the other way around, in that a relationship can create unpredictable circumstances that can bring about a sudden change or the realisation of the truth about the matter (in question). Also, this relationship may be more challenging than the person thought or it may teach the person important life lessons. I think this reading could also be about trust and how much we believe in what we see, moreover this can also be applied to situations that are not as bad as they look. But whatever the case may be I think all themes mentioned above refer to or originate from matters within a relationship.
