Question: will I be able to have babies?
The spread works like this: it asks for two positive and two negative factors in the situation being studied; the middle card (=) gives the summary or average position. The plus and minus cards are divided into a stronger (2) and a weaker (1). After finishing the spread, all five cards are shuffled together and one selected blind. This one indicates the strongest of the five cards at the moment of the reading.
I have used the 4-mention version o0f Rainring – the one on the physical cards, not the simplified version on the web. So each of the cards in the spread is accompanied by an umpire who adds something to the basic message of the card. Here’s the interpretation:
Factors relating to kali20 having a baby:
+2 Sensuality reversed, umpire reversed loss. This combination means: before the present, you were in a period in your relationship without sensuality; this has now changed and you and your partner have a sensual relationship. This seems simple enough: it requires sex to make babies!!
+1 Achievement reversed, umpire simplicity. Simplicity simply refers to spirit balance, it is not an important addition. Achievement reversed as a positive card is at first surprising: but I guess that the meaning must be that you (or possibly your husband) were previously focussed on your career, and you have now reduced that level of input. This means a more relaxed atmosphere between you and is beneficial in terms of having a child.
= You got Melody, which is the north side of The Youth. Th umpire is 3cats, which simply means: ‘the umpires have nothing to add to this’. The Youth is about being young or having a youthful attitude, enjoying yourself, having fun, and The Youth also represents children (particularly boys), so this may refer to the question of having children being the main thing in your life/lives at present.
-1 The lesser of the negative cards was Resonance reversed, umpire reversed edge. I took a supplementary card here to get at the meaning better, and this card was Bittersweet, umpire How’s That? I’m not sure about this: Why bittersweet – this implies that there as well as the sadness about losing the twins (bitter), there is a part of you which is not sad about your situation (sweet) – and the How’s that means that you are having difficulty coming to terms with those contradictory feelings. The other card might suggest that the earlier feelings were the sad ones, and that now sometimes you have moments of feeling happy. It’s not possible, or appropriate, for me to speculate on exactly what may be involved here.
-2 Overwhelmed, the feeling side of Possession. Possession happens when there is too much pressure from the Unconscious, and not enough defences against it. The umpire, again simplicity, does not add anything important, except to reduce the effect of the card Possession to some extent. The simple meaning of this card, overwhelmed, would be that you are finding this is all too much for you.
My partner, Hacina, and I did another spread to try and enlarge our picture of the situation. I’m not going to refer to that here, except for one card: Vibration reversed. Vibration is the principal card for self: for identity, self-confidence, self-assertion, holding one’s own space etc. You had Vibration reversed, and the umpire was one cat, which is a warning: watch out!
Finally, after shuffling the cards together and choosing one for the dominant present influence, the card I got was the last one, the -2. Overwelmed.
So, the strong message from these two cards is that you need to pay attention to your state of mind – you probably need to do some things to reinforce you sense of self at the moment – is all this connected to the Achievement reversed (less emphasis on career?) discussed earlier?
None of this can address directly the question of whether or not you can have a baby; what it does imply is that this sense of being overwhelmed, the lack of a sufficient positive sense of self in your life is making the immediate prospects look doubtful.
I’m really sorry not to have been able to be more optimistic – but if there are some adjustments that need to be made in your life, at least it seems clear that you have a very strong motivation for making them!
