I kinda watched that reading, but since it was not for me I tried not to intrude. Was the 2 of cups in that deck the pretty chick/mummy chick card? I remember that there was some controversy about that one... If so, the actual picture could have lead to the misconception that I recall-the whole passing of time thing. Or was it the card to the left of center?
Part of what I noticed about your reading style is that you tend to look at the cards individually more and make judgements on each card, /wo always looking at how each card affects the other. A card in the past position can often totally change the way the outcome position should be read. For example, you did a reading for a gentleman after I did the one for you. In that reading several cards indicated issues w/ his living situation and his mom who seemed (according to the cards) to be fairly overbearing and controlling (I was very impressed that you picked up on the "living at home" bit right off, BTW). The Ace of Cups was in the Hope/Fear postion, which usually is interperted as wishing for an emotional windfall, often love. He asked for clarification and you pulled the Hierophant. The Hierophant is often interperted as a priest and holder of knowledge. But it can also be intereperted as representing an individual who is powerful and influential emotionally and spiratualy in a person's life (think Catholic Priest; remember the medivial influences in the Ryder-Waite style decks). I can't remember the exact card but the card below the H/F position was representing his mom. The card can then be interperted as wishing for emotional freedom from his burden (caring for his mother-none of his siblings will aid him, but because of his sense of duty he can't wrench himeself free from the situation, hence the oposing paths represented in the Chariot-the outcome card)
Gahh, that was long.....I'm suprised I remembered so much. More and more things are happening to push me back into the Path of the Seer. Including all the Weaver imagery I've been seeing.
