tarot: 8 query spread on uneasy relationship

id like some help in trying to divine the outcome between me and my lover.

situation: i am supposed to see a lover of mine the second weekend in july for two weeks. i have not heard from him in over two weeks, the longest time we've not spoken. the last time we talked was about my visit. we are pretty casual with how often we talk, usually only talking once a week but i am starting to feel anxious about how long it has been since he was supposed to call me.

he graduates from school in august and was initially supposed to get a job through a connection of his father's on the east coast. since he's met me, he wants to move to my city, in california. i know his parents do not want him to move to california but he told me he still wants to move here.

i pulled a lot of coins and its obvious to me that a lot of his concerns are material. whats good love, is bad for money. but i think he still cares about me and is waiting to see how things go in july. in the meantime it seems like he hasnt called me because he is trying to work out how he feels about pursuing me versus his family obligations.

1. what is going on with him right now (what is his environment)?
knight of swords rx - i think this definitely represents his father and the desires and influence of his family

2. how does he feel about me lately?
5 of coins - he still cares for me

3. what is his current attitude towards our relationship?
4 of coins rx

4. why hasnt he called?
7 of coins

5. when will i hear from him again?
2 of coins

6. how should i behave in the meantime?
knight of coins rx (focus on my own life?)

7. is there another girl?
temperance rx (i take this as no and this time in his life in general is a bad time for relationships, including us )

8. when will i see him again?
king of wands rx

"1. what is going on with him right now (what is his environment)? knight of swords rx - i think this definitely represents his father and the desires and influence of his family"

He is fully in the realm of thought, not action at present because he feels no action can be taken. He is unable to make a move in either direction until more of the possible outcomes are known.

"2. how does he feel about me lately? 5 of coins - he still cares for me"

He knows he should contact you, but he feels he should have an answer for you when he does. It seems he feels what he has to tell you will hurt you and he is avoiding it by not contacting you. He is VERY stressed regarding income, or more on point, lack thereof.

"3. what is his current attitude towards our relationship? 4 of coins rx"

He wants things to remain the same rather than change for now, most likely because everything is so up in the air with his work situation. This could be good or bad, depending on how you feel about how things are right now.

"4. why hasnt he called? 7 of coins"

Everything is in a stagnant phase right now, a holding pattern. He is waiting on something to commence first before he makes solid future plans. He is taking everything day by day. He feels you will ask him for answers he does not have to give.

"5. when will i hear from him again? 2 of coins"

Time is a difficult thing to get with Tarot because time is very different in spirit. The two could mean either days or weeks in this sense.

"6. how should i behave in the meantime? knight of coins rx (focus on my own life?)"

Yes, focus on your own work and goals. Although the reverse position says this will be very difficult, do the best you can.

"7. is there another girl? temperance rx (i take this as no and this time in his life in general is a bad time for relationships, including us )"

You're right. Relationships are the furthest thing from his mind. He is far more concerned about money and goals right now. He's very detached from emotion at present, and no, there is no one else.

"8. when will i see him again? king of wands rx"

He may delay seeing you this time, (I know you said you had plans). If you do see him, it seems he will have some news you don't want to hear.

With Tarot, like any of the intuitive arts, nothing is set in stone. Just knowing this could change how something plays out. Also, don't be afraid to throw out more than one card per question. You can get more details tha

that way. Also, as Bijou said, a Celtic Cross spread would give you more insight than yes/no questions, because it would present the entire picture rather than bits and pieces.
