Did she give a timeline for your sequence? Like it will happen soon or later?
She did for parts of it but she also made it clear that she basically makes calculated guesses about her timeframes, and that they can be quite off sometimes, so she warned me of that at the outset. At least some of what she bases predictions about timing are essentially where the cards are in the spread. If they come early, then they're "soon." But, as an example -- and this is just how I personally look at it -- what if the spread ends up covering a span of 5 years? "Soon" could mean over the next year, if that makes sense... not in a month or something. Then again, if the spread ends up covering 6 months, then "soon" could reasonably mean a month or even weeks. But you really don't know what kind of timeframe the spread will cover until stuff has happened.
For instance in my first reading, one of the first cards she drew she told me that someone was looking at or thinking about moving physical locations, like moving property, and that it was happening "in the now." The person that was involved, I have no real way of knowing if that happened or not so I don't know if that was really the case. Maybe, but I have no way of telling.
She also uses cards that suggest mundane things or specific occasions as timeframe markers, but they don't necessarily have an actual time attached.
For instance in my first reading, most of the cards were clustered around a wedding anniversary, she pulled a card that represents that. So for her that is a timeframe marker, right - whenever the wedding anniversary of the people in question was going on, then I should look for this sequence of events. That is coming up in fall, so I can't say yet. One of the cards that was part of the sequence clustered around that anniversary was a "visit to a place of healing," which has happened, so I could interpret that one as having occurred, but also it could be related to something else that happens in the fall around the anniversary, which is what I'm inclined to think.
Then in the second reading, she opened by reading the present situation which was very correct - a tower card for something really bad that had just happened to me, and a second card that she read as related ongoing legal issues that are happening now but that aren't quite resolved yet, but that will be soon. (That was all true.) Then she again gave me a sequence of events, though they weren't as tightly packed up as the first reading.
Some of the things from the first reading appeared again, though, and she said that when not everything from the first reading has transpired, often a second reading will just build on the first one, and you should see it as fitting together like if you put together two combs. Some of them will fit together easily and others will fit together not as neatly, but eventually it will make sense. But I mention this because one of the cards she pulled was fairly mundane, she said she saw me meeting with a man, it was a business setting involving paperwork, like possibly an application for something, and I wasn't nervous and he wasn't nervous, and I wasn't upset or agitated going in or leaving, so she interpreted this as a timeframe marker. In other words, to watch for this meeting to give me an idea about how or when the rest of the cards around it would fall into place.
Hope this makes sense.
