Queen of Cups
Knight of Pentacles, Ten of Wands, Four of Swords

Romance Perspective:
He has been thinking only of her for a long time, and not doing anything; and she knows he is like that.
He knows she knows he isn’t responding because it’s too difficult.
She has made up her mind not to respond to him for as long as it takes to get him interested only in her.
He is as obsessed as a man can get, over a woman who has figured out not to do anything herself.
She can see this tough guy isn’t going to be doing anything for a long time.
He is determined to wait as long as he possibly can; he knows she is loyal and thinks only of him.

Her man hasn’t done a thing in a long time, and this other guy is really interested in her, she can see that.
He knows how tired this sweet gal  is of sleeping alone.
He knows she is ‘the kind you marry’ and there isn’t going to be any action for a long time.
She knows it is very important for him to catch up on his sleep.
He is determined to wait a long time to have anything to do with the sweet kind of gal you marry.

At one end is a guy with one thing on his mind, Knight of Pentacles.  At the other end is a woman who is also thinking of him, Queen of Cups.  In the middle are two cards which say ain’t nothing happening, just waiting.  (I guess that’s why the girl is on the town, up there in our first spread.)

Advice seems to suggest the gal – yes – go out if she wants some romance.

Meanings and Illustrations:

Knight of Pentacles: This sturdy dude has one thing on his mind.  Today it is the gal.  He is very macho and muscled, and so is his horse.

Ten of Wands: A long slow plodding difficult wait, it is.  He is loaded down with too much of the same thing.  He has taken on the whole load all at once and is not making much progress.

Four of Swords: Just lying there.  Not doing anything.  Waiting around.  Sleeping.  A guy isn’t calling you, isn’t coming around, isn’t doing a thing.  Lying on a stone coffin, yet.

Queen of Cups: Queen of Cups:  She thinks of her man.  She has faith in him.  She is the naïve type, the naif.  She is ‘vanilla.’  She stares dreamily at the funky artifact.
