Card 1. WHAT YOU WANT FROM THE RELATIONSHIP: NINE of PENTACLES: You want to have enough material wealth to not have to worry about money so much. Then you would be able to have your own place out in the country with enough money so you could have your animals and enough wealth so that you could live a comfortable lifestyle with enough to share and have the things you always wanted to have and to live in the style you have always dreamed of. But even if you had these things, you still wouldn’t feel complete; you would still feel lonely without your Daughter in your life to share it with. You would like to be able to have her in your life and to be able to make her life easier too. You are lonely without her in your life and you long to have her in your life again and you are wishing she would willingly come back of her own free will. Without her, you just don’t feel whole. You watch and you wait for her to come back into your life. And would welcome her whole heartedly if she came to you wanting to have you back in her life too.
Card 2. WHAT SHE WANTS FROM THE RELATIONSHIP: TWO of CUPS:Your Daughter loves you and would like to be able to be friends with you. She would like to be able to have a heart to heart conversation with you where you openly and honestly share your feelings of love with each other. She would like to have the kind of relationship with you, where you are close, like best friends that can talk about anything and everything with each other. A real Mother/Daughter relationship like you hear about in the movies. That is what she wants from your relationship.
Card 3. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO BRING YOU TWO TOGETHER: SEVEN of PENTACLES reversed: In the SEVEN of PENTACLES, the main theme of the card is one of waiting for things to materialize after you’ve worked very hard and done all you could do to make it happen. When it is reversed, you still want your wishes to materialize, but you haven’t taken the steps to make that happen. It’s like you both are waiting for the other one to make the first move or to do the work in order for things to materialize as you wish they would. The problem is, neither of you are making any move to make anything happen. You think she should do it because you were wronged, and she thinks you should do it because you wronged her. By thinking this way, nothing happens. The relationship stays stagnant and never grows past the current state of disharmony. So although you each want a good relationship to share together, neither is willing to let bygones be bygones, or to say you are sorry for causing any pain to each other even if it was unintended or just a misunderstanding. So you are both feeling like you ought to just give up on it… even though neither of you truly want that to happen. So you stay where you are, both of you in misery, when all you really have to do is be the first to surrender and say you are sorry for causing the other pain. It’s what both of you want to hear, and until you are willing to stop worrying about who was wrong or wronged by the other, you will continue to wish things were different and see no progress. But in reality, you both want each other in your lives, and you need to ask yourself… Is hanging onto all this pain really helping me? Is it helping her? Is it helping ANYTHING? Do I keep doing this because it feels good and is productive? Is my being right more important than being loved and giving love? If you can answer “Yes” to ANY of these questions and really mean it, then you should continue on just as you are. But if you answered “No” to all these questions honestly, then maybe it’s time to surrender and make the first move and say your are sorry for causing the other pain. Forgive even if you can’t forget. That is the way to harvest your dreams and have the relationship you want with each other.

SUMMARY: It is obvious you both love each other and want to have a close loving relationship, but that hurt and pride are standing in your way. You want her to make the first move and the apologies, and she wants you to make the first move and to make the apology. Neither of you wants to do that. You both have a shield over your hearts to keep further pain out, and you both use anger and pride to shield yourselves from any further pain. The problem with that is that while it does indeed keep pain out, it also seals the existing pain in, so it is always recirculating and feeling like a fresh wound. By shielding your heart, it also keeps love from coming in or going out to others. That is what is keeping you both stuck in the past pain and misunderstandings. You CAN have a real relationship with each other, but someone has got to be big enough and want it bad enough to just surrender the need to be right. You aren’t the person you were back then anymore, and she isn’t the same person she was back then anymore either. Isn’t it time to give up the heart shield? Lower it and let the hurt out so you can allow the love to come in so you can love again? You CAN have this real relationship together if you can just let go of the pain and get to know the people you have become, not the people you were in the past. Be the first to surrender. Make it happen. You have the power within you to forgive.

Theresa says:
So true someone has to be the first one to reach out. In any relationship. In siblings, in parent/child, in significant other relationships, with friends and extended family. It is never beneficial to let hurt feelings fester. Some let pride stand in their way. That’s the reason they say pride goethe before a fall. Even if you both know you were not the one in the wrong you can let a situation heal if you humble yourself to take the first step. You don’t have to accept the blame. You can say I’m sorry this escalated so crazily. I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. I hope we can get past this. Holding on to old pain hurts you as much if not more than it does the other person.
