an entire community

  

the empress + the tower  

Today's card combination involves an entire community - a matchmaker, the two people who will date, and the two people's future children. First, the matchmaker is a powerful person, and s/he is daring to set up this romance, bringing together two compatible yet unlikely partners. There is something abit dangerous about the matchmaking, which will instigate the downfall of old and traditional ideas.  For someone in this romance, their existing lifestyle will be overthrown.  Let's put this in more mundane terms, since it is a mighty message/warning that should be stated plainly:  A long-term romance is about to begin, and it will completely change one or both of the partners' lives. Completely.  Today's tarot card combo indicates that the romance between two people will grow into the coparenting of a family.  It'll be a profound love, which is sometimes upsetting.  Especially for the mum or matriarch of this family, the upcoming romance and then kids might be the most significant chapter of her life.

Yesterday's combination was also about a new love relationship, and a second connection between these taroscopes is the protective cushion of community supporting the lovebirds - yesterday it was family, and today it is an encouraging matchmaker.  Also, both tarot readings present abundance - yesterday's family leisurely and easily travels (perhaps summer holidays, if they are in the Northern Hemisphere), while today's matchmaker is safe enough to risk the creation of a relationship that is somehow socially unusual.  And yet, it all may go very wrong; totally tits up.  There may be catastrophe, and I'm not being hyperbolic. Everything good about these taroscopes (from all the querents' confidence, to a woman's biological ability to procreate, as well as legitimacy and membership in a community) might be damaged and then disappear - an unstoppable cascade of upheaval, indicated by the Tower card.
