Keeping a Relationship - A Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards Reading
Piatnik’s Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards have a rich and diverse history of practical use in Europe. It all began in the 19th Century Austro-Hungarian Empire, where they first appeared, alongside other similar oracle decks, under the name Aufschalgkarten, usually consisting of 32 cards. This coincides with the popularity of a reduced Piquet deck of 32 playing cards used for divination in Central Europe. But in contrast to Lenormand decks which relied on the comparison with the playing cards through the use of small insets, they are unnumbered and bear no references to other fortunetelling systems.
‘Drama Queen’ Projections and New Relationships
“I need your help, I fucked up bad!” are the words I hear regularly. And behind them usually lies a problem caused by a blind, anxiety-induced, projected reaction in the love sphere. This we often tend to label as a ‘drama queen’ response, but let us be honest, all relationships affect us greatly. Some relationships we leave as a wiser person, some we leave richer or poorer, and some we leave as downright damaged husks of a human being. It is particularly the latter kind that often tends to cause problems in all future relationships, or even prevent us from ever trusting another person again altogether.
Eyes Wide Shut - A Love Reading
If you are lucky to be in a long-standing relationship, you most probably had moments of uncertainty that called for an immediate reflection. Or in simple terms, you most probably asked yourself “How are we doing right now?” Or the old favorite: “Where will we end up?” But when these questions do pop up, experience tells me that most of us simply ignore the situation, and comfortably push any concerns under the rug, hoping to continue the smooth sail. In that case, there will come a time when you will no longer be able to ignore the situation, and you will be forced to look into the mirror of your relationship. Is it already too late?
A Quest For a Loving Home
Many of us share a dream of coupling up and forming a loving home. But for a lot, it also remains rather unattainable. A client of mine wanted to know if she would finally find a partner who would be willing to settle down and spend the rest of his life with her. All previous relationships have ended without even an attempt to share a home and a living.
