How do readers give timelines when they see such cards?
If you are asking if there will be a reconciliation it doesn't mean that its going to include a when. You might want to ask that as a separate question or rephrase your question as to will i reconcile with X during the month of...
Agreed. Since we're reading for ourselves, it's best to keep things organized and concise. If you asked the question of if you'll reconcile, then it's basically just using 3 cards to tell you yes or no, with more information about how it'll play out. The page of coins being the first card which you determined to be the present, I see that as communication. I almost always see pages as communication and especially since there's nothing negative around it. Since it's coins, it's going to be simple and practical in nature. Not super awesome but still nice to see. Then that flows into the 3 of cups which is typically a party of some type as far as how I've always seen it. But of a friendly nature. So possibly communication then seeing each other in a group setting but still socially. Then the Empress if it doesn't represent an actual mother or pregnancy, then it means to me, the seed being planted and growing to form into the beautiful thing that you're wanting. That's usually what it means to me in my readings. So I take it as there's a beginning of a possible reconciliation, there might be indirect communication and indirectly hanging out, still fun, but it's just the beginning. It would still need to grow and be nurtured for a while before it manifests into a realized reconciliation. I like to consider what you didn't get, too. The cards could've been anything and there are a lot of cards that mean reconciliation and relationships and stuff like that and you didn't get any of those so I would see that as being "not soon, but progressing in that direction". I also think that once it gets to the empress, it could go a lot of different directions depending on how you both handle it and feel. Since that's the time it would need to be nurtured, if it ends up being too much work or if there are some hiccups along the way, it's also a volatile time and it could go backwards. It's not so volatile that you'd have to watch your every move, it's more that having major fights or meddlers and things like that during that time could change it since it's not "born" as a reconciliation yet. I like to go really deep with this kind of thing though lol. My mother was a Tarot (and every other type of card) reader and she taught me a lot about the nature of the cards, but I don't feel I'm as psychic as she was so I'm not a professional reader myself. I just use the definitions and try to figure out how they fit together.
