New Here! Seeking help regarding tarot for self.

[ScarletOracle]

Hello everyone! I am Scarlet Oracle. I have been reading tarot for about a year now and am very in tune to my deck for others but, lately I have been having trouble with reading cards for myself especially with the subject regarding my significant other I feel very strong energies for. I feel I got a good reading today based on the general meanings of cards drawn but again I have that block that keeps me from deciphering what I need to be told in this.

I use the Vertigo Tarot Deck at the moment and I did a simple mirror spead that is laid out like this
  1
2   3
4   5
6   7
 8

Card 1:   The querent.
Card 2:   The way you see the other person in the relationship.
Card 3:   The way they see themselves.
Card 4:   What the person represents to you.
Card 5:   What you represent to them.
Card 6:   Obstacles within the relationship.
Card 7:   Strengths within the relationship.
Card 8:   Probable result.

here is what i drew:
Card 1:   King of Swords (R)
Card 2:   Two Wands (R)
Card 3:   The Hermit
Card 4:   Six Swords (R)
Card 5:   Eight Swords (R)
Card 6:   Hanged Man (R)
Card 7:   Nine Pentacles (R)
Card 8:   Four Swords

Any insight to your true intuition regarding the reading i recieved?
Thanks,
Scarlet Oracle

Hi ScarletOracle,

Normally, readings for ourselves are not to be trusted as you are or inevitably will see only the good, no matter how much you say you are not biased.

I see you read the cards upright and reversed. I virtually always use the CC and in using this spread have a few rules I don't break!! One of the most important is that I will not do a reading if there are more than 50% reversals.

Looking at your spread and lay, there are too many reversals, if I get a lay like that, I will close it and wait another day. At times, I will even place a few times, until I feel comfortable with the cards. If then the cards don't speak to me, I don't do a reading at all.

You must also consider that you should not do more than 1 reading for a querant in a three month period.

Blessed be.
