My greatest wish is that every single client who requested a relationship reading got the Ace of Cups, the Two of Cups, and the Lovers card. Maybe the 10 of Cups, too, just for good measure! It would make my life so much easier!
As any psychic medium or tarot card reader can attest, the single most common request is for a relationship reading. Should I stay or should I go? Is this the right relationship for me? Will he ever change? When will I meet my life partner? The permutations are endless, but it all comes down to the same thing – we're all looking for love! (Even those of us who claim we aren't – we almost certainly still are.)
It's not that simple
Simple questions, perhaps, but hardly simple answers. Occasionally I get a clear answer from your Guides -- "He's no good for you. You don’t deserve to be treated like that." Usually, however, the answer is nuanced and complex – and typically, somewhat unsatisfying to the client. We all have lessons to learn, and while a psychic can certainly help us navigate choppy waters, it's ultimately our free will decision what we want to do next. After all, if I give you all the answers, how will you ever progress at the Soul level?
These less-than-straightforward answers usually involve helping the client see some difficult inner truths so they can make better decisions for themselves. For instance, I might be told that the client needs to work on her self-esteem, or she’ll just keep finding the same unfortunate type of partner. Or, perhaps a client needs to be kinder and gentler to their partner to improve the dynamic and save the relationship. Even greater nuance might be forthcoming: Perhaps the relationship is intended to help them both learn some specific things, and as soon as they've learned them, they will be able to move on to better relationships – but not before.
That kind of interpretation usually leaves the client feeling frustrated because we all want plain and simple directions. Go left! Turn right at the fork! Stop when you see the knight in shining armor! Too bad that's not how Spirit works….
Even more frustrating are responses that are completely oblique – like being told that you need to resolve your issues with your job or your mother or your boss before you can attract The One.

Look Within
Nearly always, we must work on our inner landscape, or our "self-talk," in order to attract the right person. We all get into relationship ruts, repeating the same patterns over and over regardless of whom we are partnered with. We all tend to look outside ourselves, straight at our partner, when we are unhappy in our relationship, which means you are going to be pretty darned upset with me when I tell you that you need to work on your self-esteem, or change your attitude, or do some other inner work, before you can attract Mr. or Miss Right.
I'm Sorry!
So, on behalf of every psychic everywhere, I heartily apologize. I wish we all had only good news for you. It may help you to remember that your guides are only interested in one thing – your soul’s evolution. No matter how desperate you feel, the answers will not necessarily be what you want to hear!
