Looking Ahead Spread: Analyzing Your Situation

One of the readings that I often find myself doing is a looking ahead spread.  This simple three card spread gives you insight into your current situation, as well as what is coming up for you immediately, and three months from now.  You can also extend your outlook beyond three months by pulling more cards.  Each card that you pull is an additional three month time period.

I generally use Doreen Virtue's Messages from Your Angels deck, although I will use other decks from time to time, depending on the situation and whom I am doing the reading for.

I pulled the following cards for myself last week:

Present Situation: Desirée.
 To be perfectly honest, there are a few cards that I dislike in the deck and this is one of them.  It is one of the few times that you seem to get a flat out 'no' from the Universe.  However, this card is absolutely fitting for my situation.  I have had some upheaval and some challenges thrown at me, and my first instinct is to fix it.  My fear is being unprepared and unable to deal with what is happening, so I immediately start seeking out options.  To be perfectly honest, I am afraid and I panic.  That panic can lead to bad decisions, so this card is a reminder not to do that.  Wait is the key message of this card.  Time offers more insight and more opportunities, so wait for them.  You can move forward if you want to, but it may not result in the best outcome.  As much as I dislike the card, I also appreciate it; I need to readjust my outlook to be more positive before I make any major decisions.

Immediate Future: Raye
I have a friend that absolutely despises this card; she gets it all the time because she refuses to follow the guidance.  Raye pops up in my readings from time to time as a reminder that I need to get back on track, especially in times like this when I am dealing with challenging or fearful situations.  Yoga and exercise are natural mental healers.  I really believe that you can uplift your thoughts and outlook by working the frustrations out physically.  I personally love a good mix of cardio, like boxing, with meditation.  I have my punching bag set up, ready to be put to good use.  I always feel better after a good round with it.

Three Months From Now: Daniel
Although this card shows the Angel of Marriage, do not take it to mean that you will literally be getting married when it shows up.  If that were the case, I would have been married about a hundred times over.  It is actually about healing old wounds, releasing pain and opening yourself up to proper, loving relationships in the present.  If I follow the guidance the angels are providing me, not panicking, being mature, healing myself spiritually, I will be that much better to my partner.  I will be focused on the present and not fearful because of the past.

On another note:
It is okay if you don't really understand your cards at first.  It takes time to really see the message that you are being shown.  Often, we don't want to admit our own faults or fears, so we are resistant to the guidance being provided.  It is also possible that you may be unfocused when doing a reading, so it will not seem to make sense.  You will pull cards based upon what you are truly wanting to know, regardless of what you might say aloud.  This also applies to situations where you are getting a reading from someone else.  The cards will be pulled based on the energy you are putting forward.  You may claim that you want to know about your career and then receive all relationship advice from the cards.  Be open and honest and your readings will be of the greatest assistance possible,
