Make the best of the adverse times with the one you love

Three of Swords
Ace of Pentacles, Lovers, Two of Pentacles

Romantic Perspective:
The right time for the couple to divorce.
Lovers quarrel in the best of relationships.
A love relationship has its perfect times and its fighting times.
Sometimes things go right and sometimes lovers break up.
Perfect love with occasional clashes.

Love relationships have their ups and downs, you go from being so right to being so hated.
Make the best of the adverse times with the one you love.
You go through hard times best when you love one another.
Together you can go through both favorable and stormy times.
You’re right for each other but sooner or later you’re going to quarrel.

Business Perspective:
Profit cycles strain partnerships.
Do have protection against adverse financial cycles.
The two of them keep disputing the money.
The ups and downs of the cash flow is a heartache for the partners.
They put their joint money in at a difficult phase of the market.

Advice: An attitude of acceptance about the risk we take when we are in cahoots with another person – whether it’s a love or a business relationship – actually strengthens the union as well as lessening our stress about it. (If you don’t think you have to succeed at getting along, you are more likely to.) Realizing the bond we two are getting into just might be severed strengthens the likelihood that we two will continue doing our shared interest together. Our advice is about weathering difficult times by realizing that change – cycles, ups and downs – is always afoot, is ongoing ad nauseum. If we figure that sooner or later we’re gonna fight, it makes the actual tussle less of a production. Our verbatim reading is stating this flatly, dispassionately. This whole thing reminds me of ante-nuptial agreements!

Meanings and Illustrations:

We have four diverse cards, nothing in common, and their meanings are limited. We begin with Ace of Pentacles: the right … whatever; perfect; the best; favorable; profit or profitable; financial or money or cash flow. (There’s a straight and narrow road, with a garlanded gate.)

Next is the Lovers, a Rider Waite Card that shows a couple … Adam and Eve, complete with serpent and fruit tree, protected by the angel, and influenced by a volcano (passion). It is about partnership and protection, about being together, being joint, and about being at risk together as well.

Then comes, in the Two of Pentacles, a cycle of ups and downs which also suggests ‘sometimes,’ ‘once in a while,’ ‘phase,’ and ‘occasional,’ – words similar to that. Illustration shows a juggler and some ships going up and down on waves.

Lastly is the Three of Swords, with knives going through a heart, which contributes words such as: divorce, adverse, dispute, difficult, clash, heartache, fighting, hatred.
