Type of cards: Rider Waite Deck
Spread/ Layout - Top Row: What’s happening (in the order of present-ish to future. Bottom Row: Clarifying/ context providing cards.
My Interpretation and Background:
I’ve just finished my master’s, but my home is on the other side of the country from the city where I’ve been studying. During these final months, unexpected career opportunities have started popping up that could keep me in the city potential jobs at my university, and I’ve also just completed the final round of interviews for a fellowship in Germany. So my life is very much in flux at the moment.
About a month ago, I met someone. We’ve been getting to know each other, and there’s definitely a strong mutual attraction. He’s also looking for something serious. The issue is that I felt like I liked him more than he liked me, so I pulled back a bit (he was way too casual for me I didn’t feel affirmed). Around the same time, I told him that I was likely leaving the city in a few months, and our communication has since become a bit quiet.
The last time we spoke, I asked whether I could stay with him for about a month while I wrapped up my research and project assistant work at the university. He replied that his Airbnb (he’s a digital nomad of sorts) situation had changed, but he didn’t really say yes or no. After that, I felt embarrassed for asking and distanced myself forreal. Part of me hoped we’d get to spend more time together before I left, or, if one of these career opportunities worked out, maybe continue getting to know each other.
My question was essentially: Will he come back around and offer for us to live together ?
The spread the image attached.
The Devil makes sense to me because the attraction between us is genuinely very intense. There’s definitely chemistry.
What I’m struggling with is The Emperor reversed as the clarifier. My personal association with this card is an abusive father figure (that’s the only time it would show up in my own readings of my life), so whenever I see it, I become cautious. What are alternative interpretations of the emperor reversed in context of clarifying the Devil reversed?
The Star reversed feels like the uncertainty of the situation and the possibility that circumstances make things difficult, although I’m not sure whether it’s meant to indicate hopelessness or just delayed clarity.
Three of Pentacles + Four of Wands feels much more positive. My first thought was that it could relate to my career and him supporting me while I pursue these opportunities, but Four of Wands also makes me think of building a home or sharing a living space.
Overall, I’m surprised by how serious the cards feel considering we’ve only known each other for about a month. I wasn’t expecting cards that seem to speak about foundations, shared spaces, or long-term dynamics (i think?). I’m particularly interested in hearing different interpretations of The Devil clarified by Emperor reversed, because that’s the combination I’m finding hardest to get a feel of.
I’d really appreciate any alternative perspectives! ❣️

So… I have been really manifesting for stability and coming into my own. I moved away from home to start a new life somewhere else because I’ve always felt like home, yeah… but I’ve been on my own energy, right?
So I have gotten really good at intuitively navigating my world. However, someone came into the city that I’ve known my whole life, and they are also witchy, right? But with ancestral connection and all that. I don’t know much about her spirituality or anything like that.
But ever since she landed, I’ve felt like acid was all over me. I couldn’t think straight. I was getting stomach aches. She keeps proposing that we see each other, catch up, and meet, but whenever I sense her energy, I just feel that same acidic feeling over me.
I also feel like there’s something suppressing me on my back, to the right side, and also in the center. Throughout the whole week that they’ve been here, I’ve been feeling this way.
I tried raising it with her, but she said she doesn’t know what’s going on, and she’s also surprised that I’ve been feeling off-ish, right?
So I pulled out tarot to explain why I’ve been feeling this weird feeling. I can still feel good energy, so I gravitate toward people who are fond of me and who think well of me because it helps dissipate this feeling I have — this terrible feeling.
I almost called off work sick, but I need to save my leave days for a friend’s wedding.
These are the cards that came up:
Five of Swords: I feel like I do suspect someone is doing some voodoo on me, some kind of magic on me, especially with Ace of Wands reversed as well. It feels like there is a negative response to me wanting a new beginning for myself somewhere else.
I’ve been in a space of really writing down what I want out of my life and calling things in.
Then I got Five of Pentacles and Nine of Wands.
So I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t feel good. I was feeling really good about my prospects and what’s coming up for me, and that feeling has completely dissipated.
It’s just so weird how everything almost feels like it’s turning upside down during this space of this week, and I don’t understand why.
Any assistance would be amazing.
