More Ancestor Questions

I recently broke through a brick wall in my family tree research. There is still a gap in the record I queried tarot about. I suspect this ancestor was sent out to do domestic work in another household as a teen, resulting in a child out of wedlock. I got the idea when I saw a record of her little sister working as a servant by age 11.

The Devil: Temptation. It appears that having a young girl working in the household presented an opportunity that a man in the house felt compelled to exploit.

King of Cups Rv: The man in question may have been the head of household, but whoever he was he was ill-tempered, immature, possibly a drunk.

Queen of Pentacles: This is possibly the wife of the household. She presents as wealthy and may have been the one with means. I am guessing she controlled the household finances.

Justice: The affair (or assault?) resulted in a child. Not justice per se, and more consequences of the actions.

I don’t claim to know what happened, but it’s really interesting that this pull directly mirrors the story I imagined about her life. My search for records continues!

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. ...
