WHEN WILL THINGS IMPROVE?

Question:
Dear Becky ~ My birthday is coming up April 22, 1954. I will be 54. I have a lot of stuff going on: an upcoming divorce (married only 7 months) and problems with discrimination and workplace harassment where I work. Feeling depressed and not knowing what to do next. If you can do Tarot for me, I would appreciate it. ~Dora

Answer:
Becky Becktold, Tarot Reader, responds: My Darling Dora ~ I have shuffled the deck and these are your cards:

Outside Influences – Queen of Wands – this card confirms that you are focused on your career.

Emotional State – The Tower – Dora, you have major change all around you; you feel like your world is crumbling, but it is important to let the dust settle before you make a decision. Don’t judge the situation or you will miss out on the lesson . . . and don’t worry, things will be so much better afterward.

Physical State – Six of Cups – this card speaks about repeating patterns. The events around you will continue to happen until you ‘get it.’ Pay attention to the lessons around you. Maybe your lesson now is that you know what you don’t want in your life. Recognition is the beginning of change.

Message from Spirit – Knight of Pentacles – this card represents the comings and goings of things; you have to spend it to get it. The phase you’re in right now is a passing phase. Dora, get yourself to a good counselor to help get you through this tough time. It will be money well spent for your new fabulous future.

MARRIED BOYFRIEND

Question:
Dear Becky ~ I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have been involved with someone on and off for the past five years; he is married. This time it is definitely off, but I have some things I need to say to him in order to really move on. Will I get this chance to do so and how do you see the outcome of this conversation? I am an Aries female, 45 yrs old and he is an Aquarian male, 46 yrs old. This will be a big deal for me as I have trouble expressing my emotions. Thank you, Joyce

Answer:
Becky Becktold, Tarot Reader, responds: Dear Joyce ~ I have shuffled the deck and these are your cards:

Outside Influences – Queen of Pentacles – you are a well integrated woman, balanced between head and heart, who walks her talk.

Emotional State – The Hanged Man – Joyce, you should consider shifting your perspective and look at your situation in a new way. Mr. Married is stringing you along or he would be Mr. Unmarried.

Physical State – Ten of Swords – this card speaks about your fear in the situation, but it’s not necessarily how it really is. Why are you afraid of losing him? You never really had him anyway – or he would divorce his wife to be with you.

Message from Spirit – Two of Pentacles – this card speaks of communication and the back and forth of words. Be honest and straight up when you speak with him for the last time, and you will speak with him again – he loves having his cake and eating it too. You do need closure, but don’t let it keep you from moving on. The guy has no integrity or he wouldn’t be cheating on his wife. Why would you want someone who cheats anyway? If you ever did become partners, wouldn’t you wonder what he’s doing or who he’s with the first time he was 10 minutes late? If you can’t drop Mr. Married on your own, consult with a therapist. This relationship is not allowing you to be the person you were meant to be. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again . . . the Universe is like a vacuum – the only way to make room for the new is to release the old. Quit wasting your precious time on the bum and get yourself ready for Mr. Right. He will come along – if you let him.

In Love & Light, BeckyB

DESPERATE AND DEPRESSED

Question:
Dear Becky ~ I am a young Dutch man and I´m so completely lost in my life that the only reasonable thing I can come up with is killing myself.

I´ve been planning suicide attempts many times (like right now), but then on the last moment I always withdraw, because it simply seems such a wretched thing to do as far as those who remain behind are concerned. And also, as a matter of fact, since I´ve been studying spiritual and paranormal issues for some time, I´ve become very frightened about what one might call The After Life. In particular: meeting already deceased ancestors who might blame me forever for committing suicide.

Yet always after giving up killing myself, my life here becomes even more miserable. I just stay in bed all day and night; crying my eyes out. So, it is only for the sake of "others" that I haven´t done it yet, but purely for myself: I see no potential in living any longer.

Please, please help me...Desperate Dutch

Answer:
Becky Becktold, Tarot Reader, responds: Dear Desperate Dutch ~ I have shuffled the deck and these are your cards:

Outside Influences – Nine of Swords - You have a feeling of despair, but your hands are tied. Even though it feels like it is out of your control, just remember that you need to trust...trust that your struggles are part of your journey, trust in your higher power, and trust that there will be an end to the pain.

Emotional State – Nine of Pentacles - this is the "contentment" card. All your needs are met; you have everything that you need. You will pull yourself out of your depression, Desperate Dutch. If you haven't done so at this reading, you will very shortly. Keep the faith.

Physical State – Hierophant - this is the "counselor" card. If you haven't already, you need to contact a therapist. The time and effort it takes them to help us sort through all the emotional garbage is worth its weight in gold.

Message from Spirit – Seven of Cups – Something is hidden from you; it's there, you just have to look deeper. Also, this card could be about your imagination - either you are using too much of it or not enough. Whatever is hidden will soon be revealed.

In Love & Light, BeckyB

MARRIED LOVER

Question:
Dear Sharon ~ I am a Pisces currently involved with a Taurus who is married to a Scorpio female. We started out as friends back in December 2003, and got romantically involved in January 2005. His wife found out about the affair in July 2005, and while seeing each other has been difficult, we are still together. He wants to leave her but he doesn't want to leave his son. My question is, is there really a chance of him leaving his wife for me? ~Kay

Answer:
Tarot Reader Sharon Hartley replies: Dear Kay ~ Here's your reading:

Situation - Five of Wands - This card is one of conflict. It's a battle but the winner might want to escape or avoid the certain feelings of hate or bitterness. It shows lots of energy and positive aspects. It's not how you win, but be careful in how you play this one out.

Past - The Star - You may have recently had a long-cherished dream come true. You may have been given a chance to start over and feel hopeful that a situation is looking up. Now is the time to get back to nature -- the basics. What is cluttered or too complicated may clean itself up without your assistance. It's a type of cleansing that helps you see reality in a positive way. It helps with your sign to go for a swim - you'll be surprised how good you feel and intuitively understand.

Think About - King of Wands (reversed) - Tradition is important to your significant other. This situation is making him feel untrue to himself more than you realize. It's making him doubtful, confused and weak. Be aware of this behind the scenes, and you may want to reconsider. If not for you, then for him.

The Future - Three of Stones (reversed) - The work this card represents is not going very well. It indicates that there's a lack of motivation, only doing the bare minimum to get by. Certain commitments are delayed or avoided. It's time for you to decide if this waiting is worth the effort.

Love and Light, Sharon
