I've just had a loss of a beloved pet, but I have been feeling stuck for a long time. This loss just shoved me down further. I am currently grieving heavily, but I know this will ease with time to a degree. I am in an age transition in my life, and have lost (or have not seen) many friends and regular contacts because of a combination of things-the pandemic, people moving, different jobs, etc. I cease to be a priority in anyone's life ever, but instead, a happy acquaintance. However, when I am needed for a problem, I am the first contact. I have to initiate everything beyond that, and I've decided to stop. Parents are gone, I have no grandchildren, extended family absorbed in their own families and grandchildren. They don't live close by, but contact has dwindled.
Maybe many people feel stuck after the last 2 years, but I don't see a light at the end.
What direction or path should I take?

Unfortunately I cannot read for her as you are the person coming for the reading. I apologize. Do you have a question about a situation in your life?
Hi, thank you so much for responding. I'll rephrase -- What is the current energy surrounding me in regards to my family (i.e., husband and kids - but if you can pick up anything re my family of origin too, I'd be interested).
Really appreciate you doing this! It's been fascinating to read your responses.
Hello! I am having a bit of difficulty connecting to this. So while I was trying to hear what I needed to relay to you, I saw 3 white butterflies, tightly knit, fluttering around together and noticed that I was just an observer. I have a sense that you may feel like a bit of an outsider in your family in some ways. However, I don’t feel this is reality, rather it is your perception of it. I feel that you raised your family to help you balance and heal your past. However, now that your kids are older, you seem unsure of who you are again. I am still feeling a bit blocked and leads me to a thought that you may have grown up in a home where your caretakers were emotionally unavailable. This sort of has that energy.
The card I pulled that represents your energy is the 6 of Pentacles in reverse. I think you have been giving a lot of yourself for many years and you are not getting enough back to fill you up. It is time to move ahead towards trying new things that could help you feel more balanced and whole internally and that give you a sense of purpose. You may do some of that now, but there is a sense that trying something NEW will help. Get you out of the day to day routine that can become monotonous.
The card that represents your families energy is the 5 of Swords. Again, this leads me to believe that you are giving and they are taking and you are drained because of it. I don’t think your family even realizes that this dynamic is happening because you just do it without expectations. So while it is a beautiful thing that you do, there must be some form of reciprocity in order for you to be balanced. If you have not already, opening up and telling them how you are feeling may be a good first step. Sometimes we (and I do this myself!) just expect others to know what we want or need…but that is not reality. So using your voice will be very helpful for you to start getting back what is being taken.
The card that represents you in regards to your childhood family is The High Priestess in reverse. I don’t think that you were every really allowed to fully express who you were and that you were supposed to live up to other peoples expectations. I think you did indeed try to do that and when you did meet what was expected of you, there was not much praise for doing so. So even then, you were giving and not getting back. This may have caused you to suppress your true self way down and because of that, in the present, you struggle to understand who you really are.
The card that represents what action you could take to move forward is the 4 of Cups in reverse. It’s time to start being an active player. It’s time to do the hard work and uncover all that which is shoved down in your psyche. It’s time to discover who you truly are as a human being, not as a mom, or a friend, or a child, or a wife. The amazing thing is, you can be whoever you want to be! With a bit of hard work, you will get there.

Unfortunately there hasn't been a great deal of progress in my life and marriage and I wonder if you feel anything that's to come and if I should hold onto any hope for a change of course.
Hello! So I heard the phrase in my head “That which you held dear is no longer near”. I feel it’s time to accept things as they are and not holding out hope they could change. Remember, I read the current energy so something could always shift, but this is what I am picking up at 5:42pm on Sunday August 7. I have an image of the two of you sitting together and you being the one trying to bridge the gap and continually trying to give of yourself in hopes they will see you making an effort. He will take what you are offering, but does so with apathy. So let’s say that you feel he is thirsty, you run to get him a drink and he would take it, say “thanks”, but not even look at you. In turn it feels as his apathy when you are trying to make efforts causes you more inner turmoil or pain. To me, this feels like a situation where it’s time to work on yourself because you may be prolonging the inevitable.
As I was shuffling, a card flew out face down, but I did not turn it over until I had all the others spread out. For your present energy I have the 3 of Pentacles and this is very much about you wanting to building something with your partner. It does seem to me that you are putting in work, but they continue to hold their cards close to their chest. The card pulled in regards to sticking it out, I pulled the Ace of Pentacles in reverse and the 5 of cups came out with it. Should you stick it out, it looks like you will still experience more of the same and you will soon find yourself pretty much grieving the relationship even while you are in it…you may even be doing a bit of that now. While nobody wants to feel that while with their partner, I do feel it may be beneficial to you and may help guide you towards acceptance sooner rather than later (should things continue as they are now). The card I pulled in regards to what it looks like if you move on, I have The Hermit. I love this card, because it is a card about looking inward, growing from what we learn when we do the inner work, and self care. I pulled a clarifying card and it was the two of wands. So I feel should you get to the point where you feel moving on is the right move, by doing the inner work, you will no longer be at a crossroads and your path will be clear…or at least begin to become clearer than it had been.
So after I pulled those, I turned over the card that jumped out while I was shuffling and it was the 9 of Wands. This is someone who has been dealing with conflict and darker times and won the battle. While it may feel like you don’t have the strength to get through it or do what you feel you need to do, it is very important to know that it IS in you and you will be standing tall when you finally put yourself first in this scenario.
I do feel what I felt intuitively was backed up by the cards, so I hope this resonates for you. Whatever path you choose….own your strength!
Thank you OP. It makes me so sad, but I have shown more strength throughout this than I thought I was capable of. At least that's what everyone keeps telling me!

I'm the PP somewhere on page 5 I think who mentioned the OP did a couple email readings for me in the fall, and I do believe she has a gift. She is still honing it by her own admission (hence her generosity and willingness to do this for us all for free), but my initial reading was not vague and definitely not a one-size-fits-all reading. I do imagine it's more difficult to do this over the internet versus in person and there is probably a hesitation (whether conscious or not) to say too much on this board because it's so out in the open, even though we are all anonymous.
Yes, the email readings from the feedback I received was more spot on. However, when I would do one of these, I could take anywhere from 1-1.5 hours for one reading. I would create a personalized spread, meditate for about 15 minutes before pulling numerous cards, and then interpret them while recording it all to send on audio file. I did all those for free as well because I have no intention charging for this.
What I do here is not even close to what I did via email. It is much harder to connect due to external distractions and the anonymity of this board. How the question is asked can also throw me as well, or if my rational mind creeps in. That’s a big lesson I need to learn because it can be tricky to discern what is from me and what is from outside me. So while it’s good for me to do these here to help practice, unfortunately there is more of a chance for me not to resonate.
I have had people come back later on and say even though it didn’t make sense at first, it did later on.
All that said, if it doesn’t resonate, please let me know as well because that helps me understand where I’m going wrong.
That all makes sense, OP, and I thank you again for the insight you have provided thus far.
I have to go back and listen to them again but I wouldn't say the second one didn't resonate so much as maybe it wasn't what I wanted to hear? I can't fully remember. Maybe I'll re-listen tonight.
