‘I’m using my favourite Tarot Deck and Angel Oracle Cards.’
Cara crossed and uncrossed her legs as she shifted about on the plush, green chair. What if she didn’t like what she heard? What were Angel Oracle Cards? They sounded a bit woo-woo.
Hmmm, like my whole life isn’t completely woo-woo. . .
‘What specific question would you like to ask of the cards?’ said Sylvia.
Cara focused with difficulty. ‘It’s a little embarrassing, but I’m just going to say it because it’s been on my mind so much lately. I’d like to know if he really loves me; I mean in the present day. I know he loved me five hundred years ago, but I’m uncertain how he feels about me here and now.’
‘Okay. Right. Well, I can promise you he loves you deeply, without looking at the cards, based on your past reading, but let’s see what the cards reveal to us today. Please tell me when to stop.’
Cara allowed several seconds to pass as she watched Sylvia shuffle the glossy coloured cards before placing each one face down on the table, in a pile.
‘Now,’ said Cara.
‘And tell me when to stop again,’ said Sylvia.
They repeated the process until there were three cards, face down, in a row.
Sylvia turned them over, one by one.
‘So we’ve got Temperance, Five Of Cups and True Love.
‘This is an interesting combination. I love this spread for you.’
Cara smiled. ‘Is it good? I do hope so—it feels as though I’ve been in turmoil for months.’
‘Temperance, from the Tarot, indicates this is a time that requires great patience. Your higher self is now coming into play, be guided and take your time. What you dream of will be realised when you exercise self-control.’
‘What does it mean for George and me do you think?’
‘The Twin Flame journey is about both of you having spiritual lessons to learn before you reach your next level of consciousness. This is the sole purpose for you being reunited in this life. The more you struggle, the more you push away your inevitable union. I read Temperance as a sign to accept that you are counterparts and that you must trust your union will come to pass.’
Cara nodded. Yes, it made sense. Not for the first time, she resolved to be more patient with George. . . and with herself. She wished he would be more patient with her too. He could be tough.
‘Five of Cups is a fascinating one. It means you’ve suffered a loss or disappointment which certainly seems to be true, given what you’ve told me. The message is to not focus on disappointment; it will only deepen the loss. Moderate your actions with self-control, and by not allowing disappointments to dampen your spirit, you’ll move forward with greater ease.
As for your question about whether George loves you now, Five Of Cups symbolises a broken marriage. You did say he is married?’
Cara nodded.
Sylvia’s words didn’t shock her. It had been evident to her all along that his marriage to Joanna wasn’t sustainable, no matter how he clung to the status quo. He was supposed to be married to her in this life too, like in Tudorville. It was a dreadful mix up, like picking up the wrong grocery bag and taking it home by mistake.
‘The True Love card also verifies what you already know. This is the romance of a lifetime, or in the case of you and George, the romance of multiple lifetimes. Stop doubting his feelings for you. He’s involved in an internal battle which although you think is all about your relationship, actually isn’t. That battle is already over.’
‘It doesn’t feel like it,’ said Cara.
‘There was never any doubt how it would end. He already knows on a soul level, you are meant for each other, but he obviously doesn’t remember your past life as you do. He’s now involved in a battle where he’s fighting with his idea of who he is and what people will think of him if he dares to follow his heart. In this type of intense partnership, the outcome is inevitable. There’s nothing either of you can do to stop your feelings for one another. The less you try to control circumstances, the easier it will be. George must learn his lesson, his way, as you are learning yours.’
‘Okay,’ said Cara.
Her head was spinning.
‘Have you got any more questions?’
‘Yes, I’d like to know what will happen if I end it with him. It feels as though there’s a hole where my heart should be when we’re not connected. Sometimes the pain is so intense I’d rather die than feel it. But I struggle to be in touch with him when it seems like there’s no future and he won’t see me. And then I hurt him as well as myself.’
‘That would be a brilliant question if you were in charge of ending it. It’s difficult to understand when we try to plan our relationships logically,’ said Sylvia with a knowing smile.
