Hello! Time for story number 3!
Sometimes cards jump out...such cards are more important than the ones which we pull out consciously...this gave me 3 cards to create a plot!
---------------------------
The Plot - (7 of Swords) + (Queen of Cups) + (2 of Swords rev)
The Blockage - (The Hermit)
---------------------------
Since the (Queen of Cups) is a court card...we'll focus on her first.
I think some young woman has been offered a proposal...probably that of her wedding but there is some element at play here which makes her feel dissatisfied with the prospects.
---------------------------
The (7 of Swords) depicts the picture of a military camp with a sneaky young man who is probably stealing something from the enemy's camp at dusk when nobody is watching!
---------------------------
The (2 of Swords) depicts a woman who sits with her eyes blindfolded and a stormy ocean at the background (which depicts a noisy mind)....along with 2 sharp swords crossed before her heart signifying (a closed heart witholding a pain or sorrow of some sort).
---------------------------
The closed eyes in the (2 of Swords) show her lack of clarity in the situation...again the background is dark showing dusk/night!
I think someone is doing something without her awareness...so let us take that this girl has been proposed by a young man who is into shady business/underhand dealings!
---------------------------
It is clear that this woman is happy with this man because an upright (Queen of Cups) depicts a healthy wish being fulfilled...something which we cherish from the bottom of our hearts...and the (2 of Swords rev) shows a long standing confusion between contradictory forces that has been successfully resolved leaving little space for flaws although a sword card cannot bring ultimate perfection like a cups card might.
---------------------------
Now (The Hermit) card in the blockage position depicts solitude...the need for inner reflection which is a must in some situations even if it means a brisk separation between two people/forces.
The frost shown in this card stands for freezing of hasty/noisy surroundings...an inner calm and tranquility that refreshes us from within.
---------------------------
So looks like this young woman is taking too much time to think...or being a bit too aloof and distant...which could create unnecessary bitterness and isolation.
---------------------------
The solution card turned out to be (2 of Cups) which again brings a happy ending...the tarot asks her to open her heart and go for the relationship as everything is in perfect order according to the grand plan designed by the Creator...this card stands for holy unions/mergers...healing...cooperation and fulfillment.
---------------------------
I love happy endings as long as they seem fair LOL!
