A simple three card reading for a couple!

DruidCraft Tarot

1- what is happening:

Four of Pentacles

This is the card which shows insecurity, fear of rejection or holding on to a relationship which is serving neither people any good, out of some kind of insecurity . This card also shows that one or both partners are holding their emotions inside and not letting the other partner in which brings us to a standstill. The stability of number Four combined with the determined Pentacles suit gives us a stubborn and not easy to handle situation. Both partners need to open themselves more to the other person & discuss any kind of insecurity they have. They also need to consider why they are holding on so tight to each other. Is it out of fear of losing the other person or a fear or something else?

2- Advice:

Seven of Swords
Keep your personal matters to you is what I can say this card means as an advice. Sneaky/theft is the main meaning associated with this card but it can also mean not disclosing yourself completely yet. Sometimes the more you show, the lesser interesting you become. In order to keep the partner interested, it might be wiser to keep apart for a while & going lone-wolf, trying to solve things by inner wisdom.

3- Outcome:

Two of Swords:
When you detach yourself, without disclosing yourself too much from your partner, that is when you can see what is separating you, holding you two back. This will be good to make sure that you are in this relationship for all the right reasons & not the wrong ones.This card is also associated with making a choice or facing a choice.

Summarizing it, at present the relationship is at a standstill because both partners are more keeping to themselves or holding on longer/stronger than they should, mainly out of some kind of insecurity. Both need to spend sometime away, exploring the other options they have so that they can make a right decision as to whether or not to stay in the relationship or if they are staying in their relationship for the right reasons!

A higher number of Swords card shows that more rationality & logic is dominating the relationship, lacking emotional touch of Cups suit or the fire of Wands Suit. Swords is also associated with mental work, intellect & communication, therefore, communication seems to play most part in the situation.
