Every month I do a number of random Tarot card readings for people that have common names. The idea behind the readings is to tap into the subconscious in order to find the problem and advice for this specific person named. If your name matches the reading and you can identify with the problem statement, then this reading is most likely for you. If it is, please comment below letting everyone know. Else, I would greatly appreciate your help getting this information to the correct person.
Problem statement
The problem is that there may be some restlessness or the feeling that you’re missing out on life or that you’re not letting yourself full experience life because of what seems like a money issue. Or, there is a connection that you have with a father figure that has been very successful, someone that lives a life of abundance, but there is something holding you back from this person or the life that they represent.
Reading
Summary
When it comes to this person, it may be that you are faced with a decision that you don’t want to make. You could feel damned if you do and damned if you don’t which prevents forward progress on your part.
Looking at the advice card that goes with it, it suggests that you need to find balance in your life. If things are lopsided, look at that first. The 2 is a start of an adventure card, thus we want to channel that energy and start doing things that you want to do. Particularly, don’t take on too much and watch out for things that are happening in the background that you’re not aware off.
The final card gives the advice that you need to do something. There may be a strong sense of fear of change, but the situation with that other person is changing and you need to acknowledge it. Or, at least, if you want to move on through this issue, you will have to face it. No more avoidance and take pride in this other person’s accomplishments.

You may be experiencing low self-esteem, apathy or self-induced boredom. You may have to dig deep to find a reason to live or carry on. If you are a public figure or in a place of authority, others may be jealous, threatened or intimidated by your cunning. It may be time to sit, pause and calm your thoughts.
Words: Subject to matter, stingy with time, unwilling to work.
Description: When inverted, this suit shows an inability to or resistance to the energy of matter and how we use it.

Words: Sticky, heavy, lifeless.
Description: Reversed, the Earth is heavy, sticky and foreboding. It is associated with the terrestrial world, but we find that the energies here bring seasons out of order, death where life is expected and unfertile situations. It adds a coldness to any sensual interactions or aspects of life. It may feel as if life is hell and that all what we experience is part of the great underworld. There is no resting, peace or calm. It is considered cold and dry, yet it binds with the strength of metal. It is the dreaded fall.

Description: Reversed, this card represents that the ego is in play yet it is tempered or restrained. There is the feeling of fear that prevents the unleashing of the full power of the ego. It is an art learning to find balance between what we identify with and what we really are. In this position, the energy is more humble, cautious and fearful. Disaster can be avoided or mitigated when one is aligned with the divine.
Words: Unconsciousness, repulsion, judgment.
Description: Reversed, it would seem that the Ether that fills the universe has no purpose, cause or direction. It is everywhere, but does nothing. It animates, but cannot be seen doing so. It is subtler than light yet there is no concept of its existence. Clarity and purity are missing or simply not applied. Things change in unexpected ways and there is a strong sense that everything is flawed.
