Today I pulled for the collective Aquarius sign who are in romantic conflict. I asked Spirit how Aquarius viewed the conflict and how their partner sees it.
The question asked of the Universe and Guides was: For the collective sign of Aquarius and those Aquarians who are in romantic conflict, how do they view the conflict and how does the person on their mind see the conflict?
Cards pulled:
How you view the conflict (Tarot): Wheel of Fortune, Knight of Pentacles, Two of Wands (reverse).
How do they view the conflict (Tarot): Ten of Pentacles, Three of Swords, Eight of Pentacles.
Conflict Oracle Card: “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
My interpretation:
How you view the conflict: You are deeply committed to this relationship, and you see the current conflict as a natural part of the ebb and flow that all relationships experience. You understand that every relationship has its ups and downs, its good days and bad days, and you are taking the problems that have arisen between you in stride. For you, this conflict is not a make-or-break situation because your commitment to your person remains steadfast, whether you are currently together or not. You are dedicated to making things work. However, you are finding it challenging to set long-term goals. While you want to move past the current issues, you have doubts about whether this relationship can withstand the test of time.
How they view the conflict: Similarly, your person is eager to invest the time and energy needed to resolve any disagreements and work on the relationship together. Unlike you, they envision a happy future together and are deeply invested in that vision. To them, you are everything, and they see a future where you are together “until death do us part.” However, this unwavering desire for a lifelong commitment might be contributing to the tension between you. Your person feels utterly heartbroken, possibly because you have both discussed and disagreed on your long-term goals. This discrepancy between their hopeful outlook and your lingering doubts is causing significant emotional pain for them.
Conflict Oracle Card:
Front: “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
Back: Offer your foe a golden bridge – A disagreement can turn nasty in the blink of an eye. Offer a “golden bridge” to your opponent to retreat over, even if it is sending them a message asking to talk, can start the healing process. Defeat is humiliating, retreating over this bridge helps them avoid that humiliation and can motivate them to reconnect to you.
Your guides are urging you to be gentle with your loved one. Just as you understand that relationships experience ups and downs, it’s important to recognize that people’s feelings, wants, and desires evolve over time. If your partner desires a more planned future together, be open to the possibility that your feelings on this matter may also change with time. Communicate this to your partner, offering them reassurance and addressing their concerns. Provide them with a pathway back into your heart, ensuring they feel safe and valued in the relationship.
