So, my guy is away in the military. For what seems like an eternity. I'm really feeling the strain on our relationship. I don't get to hear from him often, once every 2 weeks or so if I'm lucky. So, I'm feeling royally tested, but I don't know how he feels. You know, if his feelings are going strong & I'm just whining. So I did a reading.
What He Feels for Me: The World, 6 of Cups, Empress
What He Desires: 9 of Pentacles, Knight of Cups
The Problem: Death, The Lovers
Advice: 10 of Cups
"What He Desires" threw me for a loop. Perhaps he wishes that *I* would write *him* more often? Is the appearance of Death an indicator that his feelings may be waning, an indicator of the negativity that I may be projecting, or is it simply speaking of our forced separation? Would love some help with the whole spread. Thanks in advance.

I agree with you on the meaning of the first half. But keep in mind that the Death card also means *great change*, and not always for the worse. It came along with The Lovers, so I'd interpret that as meaning that yes, you ARE having issues with the forced separation, but that ultimately (because the Lovers card came nexxt) things will return to a contented state. In the meantime, write as much as possible, and keep your phone with you so you never miss a chance to hear his voice. I mailed my husband my nightshirts (dirty, of course lol) and had him send me his stinky undershirts to sleep with to make the separation a bit more bearable. (gross to some, but the smell of your true love is important. Even if it's sweat lol)
Off the Tarot subject though, My Husband was in Iraq for a good while in 05-06, and it put unbelievable amounts of strain on our relationship. (he went voluntarily, so I took it as abandonment and reciprocated by cheating....I was stupid, we're all better now). I just hope that you don't make the same mistakes I did. Just know that your guy misses you as much, if not MORE than you miss him. You're at home with friends and family to support you when you need it. He's in a foreign land with only his superiors and his squad(or batallion, platoon...whatever they call it.) Just stick it out and keep reminding yourself that each day you're away from him is a day closer to being together again.
*Brightest Blessings!

Yes, write to him more often! Even just the daily grind (make it not sound like a grind) will be good to hear about. A trip to buy a can of your favorite soup is wonderful compared to what his day is like. The forced separation and the situation he is in are both big negatives. Your love and reaching out to him is very important right now. Hang in there, you are being very brave. He needs your letters.

Yes, writing is very, very important. Remember you help keep him healthy. Go to any amount of trouble to let him know you are there for him. Give him something to brag to his friends about, about how you write all the time and send pictures. Don't complain to him and be hopeful of the future.

He is not going to be the man who left. The love is still there but he has and is tempered to a less joyful love. You'll have to strengthen him with written words and verbal words of strength and a strong quiet love.

Death means change, not a waning. It just means it's changed.
I wouldn't put too much faith in your reading. Live your relationship, don't analyze it or try to put some mystic spin on it.
