Mr Smooth - Part 3 of 3

And the last section for Mr Smooth ....

His attributes - Ace of Cauldrons (Cups)

Now this was the card that I drew for my daily card on the day that he actually first emailed me! I was quite taken aback as this was not the card I was expecting if I'm brutally honest with myself. After the way the other cards have flowed, this really threw me. Time for a self-awareness check .... am I just looking at the negatives, not giving someone a proper chance ... because with the imagery on this card ... this card is saying that his attributes are he's someone new, that he has a potentially huge capacity for love .... an untapped reservoir, pure and flowing ... albeit locked away in a secret place ....... perhaps then, when viewed alongside the Page ... it's more that the potential is there ........ but for the right person. I don't think that's me!

Connection to me - 4 of Rods (Wands)

Well ..... this was definitely not what I was expecting.  Again!  Home, happy families ....... and combined with that Ace .... the potential could be really good ........ but .... isn't there always a but ...... here I'm going to say I remind him of home ........ and that's not necessarily a good thing.  Very often we subconsciously try to replicate what we have grown up around ..... yep, it's those family dynamics!  Obviously I don't know what's happened in this person's life so far, apart from he's moved around a lot in shorter term relationships (according to him) .... so this card could also mean that with me ..... well, I'm not messing around ... if you connect with me, you have to be genuine .... want a proper relationship ... with all that entails .... a potentially good sign with the 3 wands above ..... after all you do progress from a 3 to a 4 ..... but am I convinced yet?  Not really ...

Overall suitability - King of Rods (Wands)

Oh well ...... fiery, passionate but controlled, and charming.  This King has strength, and surety within him ........ and yeah, given I'm supposed to be a natural Queen of Wands (I'm trying to embrace those aspects rather than Ms Queen of Swords) .... you could view this as saying yes .... a natural match.  Here comes the But again .... But .... I associate this particular King not only with an ex who kept trying to return every time his other "ex" dumped him ..... and there's no way I want a repeat of that relationship ........ but also with the path of individuation as this card became my Stalker for a long time until I actually realised what he was talking about.  Therefore, this King is married (see the ring on finger in the card) ..... and not available.  My words on drawing this card "Look elsewhere".

Base card - Karma (Judgement)

As so you shall reap what you sow ..... it's a well-known saying but the cliches are usually around because there is a semblance of truth in them.  When we meet people, we invariably learn something from them ....... be that what we want to be like, what we don't want ....... how we are perceived ..... what we want or yearn for from others.  Karma at the bottom of the deck is telling me there is such a lesson here for me too ...... and if I judge others by certain standards ...... I need to be prepared to be judged the same in return ...... even if that leaves me "found wanting"!

If you play with fire you may very well get burnt. Tread carefully.

Quint of the spread: The World

No foundation and practicality here .... she is isolated, alone and vulnerable in her own little world.  All elements are surrounding her but she is unable to reach them .... indeed I would also see this as needing to rise above the normal concerns that she has ....... the phrase that floated in here (and I hope to God this doesn't sound arrogant because it's not meant that way) was "she's in a different league" because after all, she's not on the same planet in this imagery!

Overall thoughts/Update

Well, there were several days of emails .... and in fact this turned out as I originally thought it would .....  I think he is a player!  Basically he didn't live where he purported to live .... and would only be visiting that particular town, the one I would be in, on two specific days .... so from what I can gather he was lining up his favourites to meet with ... and no doubt see what he could get out of it.  It wouldn't have surprised me to learn that he had given "slots" to each person .... needless to say I blocked him .... in fact only one of two people that I have blocked so far ... the other because I accidentally came across someone from the same firm as me ..... and of course you have to check the profile to make sure it is them ... and then you don't want them thinking that you've been "checking them out" .... eek!  I think I had a lucky escape here! 

Further update

He is either no longer on the site, or hidden.  So, overall maybe not a "player" .... but "playing the game" (someone said that to me at work this week .... apparently most people multiple email/date rather than one at a time) while waiting to see if one particular person was "the one".  If so, then hopefully it will work out for them :)
