If you chose Card #1
PATIENCE
Possibly you've experienced a lot of challenges and hardships with romance--for many of you, you have experienced a lot of "failed" relationships. I can see some of you have also gone through divorce. You may feel lost when it comes to love, but don't give up hope.
Spirit wants you to slow down! Romance isn't a race to marriage, and it also isn't about impossible expectations; take your time with yourself and others. Get to know who you are dating, but more importantly, get to know yourself more. Are you one who disregards their identity, in order to merge with someone else? Are you looking to get lost in love, or are you looking to be found in love? OR what is it that you are looking for? These are important questions to ask yourself, before you jump in.
Spirit advises you to enjoy time being single, and cherish the time with yourself. And if you're in a relationship, how can you create a little more space and distance with your partner, in order to get back to you?
Cultivate a more inner experience through practices such as mindfulness and meditation, in order to tap into that core essence of yourself. Once you do that you will have greater clarity on what it is you seek in another.
If you chose Card #2
ACCOUNTABILITY
You have more power than you think and now is the time to stop playing the blame game (unless you are pointing the finger at yourself). Whether you are single or not, it's time to stop blaming others for any misfortunes that have befallen you when it comes to love. It's time to take back your power and acknowledge that you are the one in control.
Some of you may run a little too hot for others and love to start some drama. You love the fights and arguments, and especially love to win, but those are all loss tactics because in the end you will lose those you love (and who love you) if you continue like this. Learn to listen to the other side of the story. Learn to compromise and give a little more. Learn to be more patient with others, especially if you are currently in a relationship.
Learn to temper your emotions and be less reactive to circumstances, especially if they don't go your way. Any challenges that come your way are to teach you valuable lessons, not for you to play the victim card or to blame others. As well, some of you will benefit from thinking of others more than you think of yourself. Be a bit less self-centered and more self-less, so that you can open the door to greater fulfillment in your all relationships (not just romantic).
If you chose Card #3
TRUST
Past hurts and betrayals may have left you feeling like you need to have your guard up, and now it's hard to let anyone in. But you are only doing yourself a disservice by closing yourself off from others. Allow Love to teach you about trust, and the only way to do this is to lower your guard.
Whatever someone did in the past that hurt you, was not about you--it was about them--about some struggle they were dealing with. Don't take it personally and don't apply it to your future relationships; everyone is different. Consider giving every new person who enters your life a fair chance--everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but don't always look for clues and signs of guilt.
Some of you are currently in relationships and you are pushing the other person away with your mistrust. Do you want this relationship to end or do you want to give it a fair chance? If the latter, then you have to let go of the reins a bit.
I can see many of you heading towards blessed and successful relationships, once you can drop your guard. Learn from every circumstance as it presents itself, and try not to define your future experiences based on past hurts.
