Visitation from Deceased?

My friend is having a rough time. Her grandma recently passed away from a series of strokes. On the day her grandma was found unresponsive - before she knew anything happened - she started seeing a shadowy figure walking outside past the windows, and after her grandma’s death, she continued to see the figure inside her house, just on the edge of her periphery. She asked me if a Tarot reading could help, and I said while I wasn’t sure, we could give it a go. She didn’t get back to me yet, but I was curious so I pulled three cards after thinking about her situation.

My first impressions are that it could well be a visitation, but her house has always had “odd activity,” so who knows what the heck is going on.

The Empress Rv: This is normally the card of motherhood, a nurturing person, fertility, and feminine power. In reverse, she is blocked or thwarted. Some emptiness or rejection is spoiling the ideal familial relationships.

4 of Pentacles: This can represent an over-protectiveness of material things, trying to have your cake and eat it, too. Fear of letting go.

Knight of Pentacles Rv: Upright, this card represents being prepared, taking appropriate precautions. In Reverse, he’s caught off guard and not prepared for what’s going on.

Viewing this through the lens of my friend’s grandma, it could be The Empress in reverse represents her being unable to fulfill her role anymore, but still hanging onto her life in the material world. If the shadow figure my friend is seeing around her home is her grandma, it seems that she was not prepared to die and let go of this life and her family just yet.

Delinda, Are You There?

This is a reading trying to connect with my 3x great grandma Delinda Fairchild. 2 of Cups: I believe this is showing me that we’re “birds of a feather” and have similar character. It’s two very different birds enjoying the same food and the same environment or ecosystem. Most interestingly, one bird is black, one bird is white; I am white and Delinda was black. A little on the nose, but it struck me. King of Swords: She was a smart and clever woman and had an attitude of authority, a matriarch. The crow is perched on a grave with angel wings against a smoky background: a spirit who has passed on. There are 3 hourglasses: hourglasses normally represent time but I don’t know how it applies. They hold a fish, a heart, and a sword, which I perceive as the gut feeling, the emotions, and the mind working in harmony. Maybe she was intuitive, too? 4 of Pents Rv: I get a sense she was on the defensive a lot of her life. From the ONE vital record I found of her, she lived in rural New York, wido...

Can I strengthen my relationship with my friend?

Short answer: The relationship is fine - solid actually (she's just really busy), get your self-saboteur under control and focus on your new project idea!

I’m a Monster

Q: What can I do to better support my spouse’s new business idea? (Housewives Tarot, of course) 5 of Cups: failure, pessimism Page of Cups Rv: new ideas, doubts, creative block 8 of Cups: disappointment, giving up, fantasy Clarifier: Page of Pentacles: opportunity, skill development, manifestation Rather than answering how I can help, the spread displays my general attitude about his gazillion hobbies and spending too much money on expensive things he will get bored of right away and never use again. I am the one who is pessimistic, doubtful. I am worried he’s buying just to buy, has big ideas with no follow-through. The last card, Page of Pents, I pulled as a clarifier. It seemed to assure me that my spouse really does see photography as a financial opportunity. He’s dedicated hours and hours to learning the equipment, software, industries, and other topics. He is really trying to manifest this reality and make the leap to self-employment via services using this equipment. ...
