I asked "Will I get to be a mom?" Because I got out of a long term relationship and want kids but feel my time is ticking by. I was actually inspired by someone here a few days ago to ask my deck.
My interpretation is that, yes I will, BUT.
I see the Son of Pentacles as indicating who my partner will be. Someone trustworthy, loyal, and financially stable. This isn't someone who will rush, but will take their time to make the best decision. Someone who is considerate. Mother of Sword is me. I'm an air sign and am rather independent sometimes to my detriment though most times I can see the benefit in asking for help. I value honesty. I do also feel perched ready to defend the way I see the mother here. I think the Fool is referring to a literal child considering it is often called The Child. Its a card of new beginnings and whats more new to the world than a baby. A child is also the beginning of a new chapter in life because its such a significant, life-long journey.
The Two of Pentacles (R) and Eight of Cups are a bit difficult. I've been thinking about my ex lately and I think its influencing how I want to interpret readings.
So, I feel like they are the bookends of that story, telling me what needs to happen for that to be. Theres a story I always think of when I think about juggling. Supposedly, author Nora Roberts was asked how she balanced her work and her kids. She responded by, basically saying, she knew which balls were glass and which were plastic so she would know which balls could be dropped. I think the Two of Pentacles (R) is saying I don't know which are which yet in my life and I need to learn for myself first. I think the Eight of Cups is advising me to let go. Walk away from all the broken cups and move forward to climb conquer the mountain in front of me. Theres work I need to do first - in learning and letting go.
