Sanford"s Readings
Ya well....
I certainly did not see the happy long-term relationship. Clearly my read was way off the mark. It happens that way sometimes.
Hey, Sanford.
I wonder if you felt my signal.. I felt something in this forum. Thought I'd give it a shot. 🙂 I don't necessarily need the tell-all about my life.. But I thought maybe you could give some validation. I'm new to the site because yesterday I had the overwhelming feeling I need to find connection to other empaths/psychics. When I saw your name I saw glasses, and then saw a picture of you with glasses; that kind of confirmed this is where I wanted to get a reading if you're up to it. I'd rather not show a picture of myself, but if required I will.
If not, it's totally alright. I appreciate your time either way.
Ah, a customer...
It's been slow around here lately. I read to stay in touch with my spiritual side and to connect with others in a very special way.We can connect in person or on line or have a physical connection. To reach out and feel your energy is a rare treat for m. I look forward to it. From your posts I felt you as somebody just getting into the game of life unsure about a lot of things. Society teaches us that there is no such thing as an empath or a psychic. It's all smoke and mirrors or cold reading or a scam of some other sort. You know in your heart this is not true. You are "aware" of things and don't know what to make of it.
I don't need a pic to read you. It helps, but not necessary. I'll confine my read to your empathic abilities and where you need to go from here. OK?
Hey Stanford!! I would love to have a reading by you.
Hi Sanford,
I’d love to have a reading from you! LMK the best way for us to connect energetically so you can get an accurate read on me 🙂 looking forward to connecting.
Thanks,
Adam
I have two patient people requesting readings which I will turn my attention to first. With a bit of luck I will get to them both tomorrow. I was going to do a read tonight, but my lamp burnt out, the end of a frustrating day. Be patient. I hope to get to the two of you on Sunday. A picture of your face would help.
Hey Sanford, sorry you're if overwhelmed by all these requests.
I'll attach a photo of me here, and I appreciate the time!!
I have brown hair now, and I know there's a slight filter, but the eyes are what truly matters. Thank you. I feel I can learn a lot from you if you're up for teaching me a few things
Hey Sanford_P
I was referred here by Mongki and I was wondering if you're still doing readings? I'd like one. Let me know if you need a pic or anything. I'd like to leave it open to what you feel. Nothing in particular I want to ask. Just a general reading and what you sense about my future.
"general reading and sense about the future..." I can do that. A picture of your face would be nice. It helps me find you out there. Most of those requesting here are looking for information from those who have recently passed on. That's not my thing. I have had some health issues as well. But I would be delighted to do an actual tarot read for you.
Here's the pic you needed. I appreciate you taking this. I'm looking for to one of your awesome readings. Thanks in advance Mr. Sanford_P!
My read in two parts. I hope it lives up to expectations.
Mytoki, not at all what I was expecting. But then, that’s part of the fun of reading on line. It’s been too long since I have typed out a proper read. Let’s see what Master Osho has for you (and for me) today.
Turn the cards, paint a picture. That’s what I do. The cards show somebody…. {Let’s go way our on a limb here} somebody who just had a relationship end and wondering where to go now. I see a weary heart behind that tough exterior, somebody in pain, not ready to let anybody in quite yet. How am I doing so far {on the right limb}?
I drew two cards out of the suit of Clouds (the mind) and two from the suit of Water (emotions). They are all small cards meaning not much in the way of change is coming your way soon. They paint a static picture- for right now.
First card is Ice-olation, Three of Clouds. The card shows a figure completely encased in ice. He is not very happy, obviously. The shell was necessary for protection, His heart was badly damaged and he could not risk it being hurt again so soon. The shell, the protective barrier needs to go eventually and the only way to do that is to open up your emotional side again and melt the barriers with your tears. Embrace it, Mytoki, let it be a part of you, part of the whole.
Next card is Comparison, Five of Clouds. So you are in this place looking out at all your friends having fun, having careers and relationships, and generally enjoying life. Comparing seems to be something only our species does. Certainly the trees of the forest don’t compare. They just are what they are. Some grow taller, some grow faster, but they are all part of the same forest. In the Fall, some lose their leaves. There is no envy or anxiousness. Some trees just sleep through the winter, confident that Spring will come around and bring new life to them. For now it is time to simply endure winter.
Life happens in seasons as well. It’s not all flowers and Springtime 24/7/365. If I’m right with my interpretation, you are in Winter at the moment. Like all of the seasons, it will pass and the promise of Spring will be fulfilled. The only other alternative is to give up hope, give in to despair, and spend life in an eternal winter. Better to give up hope than have hopes be dashed over and over. Do you believe that? I don’t. One day soon your heart will be well enough to risk again.
(Mytoki read, cont)
Now we move to the suit of Water with Friendliness, Two of Water. Two’s represent duality of some sort. The classic example is the fork in the road. This particular Two shows two trees each firmly rooted in the ground with their branches mingling. These trees represent two old friends, comfortable with each other. They are each whole, self-contained, enjoying the company of the other. This is not love. Losing a friend diminishes one, make the world a little less fun. It is not devastating like losing love. This quality of friendship does not contain any neediness, no urgency or desire to change the other. Drawing this card means you are ready to forget (for the moment) all the drama and romance that others engage in and embrace this quality of friendship. It is not a loss, but the birth of love that is truly unconditional, without expectation or demands. The Greeks have a word for this kind of love. It is brotherly love (but I forget the Greek word is at the moment).
Finally we have Letting Go, Eight of Water. I love this card. It shows a drop of water sliding off a lotus leaf into the pond below. The symbolism is powerful. The drop of water is not trying to hold on or hasten the fall. It is content to let gravity to the work. Sitting on the lotus leaf was good, now it’s time for change. Just like the trees of the forest, there is the quality of unconditional acceptance of what is happening. If you take nothing else from this read, hang on to this: unconditional acceptance. Don’t be second guessing yourself about what might have been. Don’t stay where you are. Did you make mistakes? You can’t unmake them. All you can do is own them, learn from them, grow, and be a better, more aware person.
Now let’s follow the journey of the water drop. (Oddly enough, we start the read with ice and tears and finish with water) It leaves the familiar existence of being a drop of water on a lotus leaf and falls into the pond. It becomes part of something much greater, sort of like the caterpillar becoming the butterfly. I don’t see anything as dramatic for you, but definitely a new Mytoki, part of something larger, part of a community, a circle of friends perhaps. It is coming surely as Spring follows Winter. Do not be anxious. It will come when you are ready, not before. I think you have some learning and growing to do in the meantime.
I know you were probably looking for another sort of answer like when will I find love again. I go where the cards lead me. This is what I have tonight.
Blessings on your journey,
Sanford
Wow thank you! This was spot on about pretty much everything except the relationship part. You have done me a great service sir. Once again thanks and it's greatly appreciated! God bless and take care!
Sandford you are fantastic!
Please may I be so cheeky as to ask for another reading?
I do hope you are OK as you mentioned your health before. I love reading your readings you tell them with great wording aswell! Don't feel obliged to do another I just thought I'd ask - No Problems if I've had my one and that's it
I turn the cards and paint a picture- with style. And I did miss with the relationship part. Something put him is his current state and relationship gone bad is usually a safe bet. It's something else this time.
I can feel you have moved on from your father's death- face forward now. That's a very good thing. There is one person an the picture thread which interests me and then I'll turn some more cards for you- looking to the future. I'll read out of my Gilded deck.

Hey Sanford_P
I was referred here by Mongki and I was wondering if you're still doing readings? I'd like one....
Brilliant reading, as always!!!
JLEL, my cheeky friend. Sunday morning sort of got away from me. I'll try to get your read done this evening.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Mongki.
Would love a read!
Thank you
Three cards out of the Gilded deck, not at all what I was expecting (but then it rarely is). I see somebody who still has not shaken off her mother even though she is trying. I was expecting to see the happy family or a Queen and instead I see...
Six of Swords reversed. Swords is the suit of action. The Six shows a woman navigating a boat out of a harbor under a full moon. She is trying to escape something. There is a frog in the foreground indicating she is using her reptile brain, in fight or flight mode. She has chosen to flee. The problem is you cannot run from yourself. The swords in the boat with her suggest she is taking the conflict with her. It's something she cannot leave behind.
Next card is the Ten of Swords. This card came up in another read recently. It signifies an ending- not the best way to end, either. It's the end of a conflict or some other situation where things didn't turn out well. Regardless, it is over. The figure in the picture appears dead or sleeping. There is the hint of the future in the new dawn. Tens usually signify completion. They are good, strong cards showing a whole person- usually
I'm thinking these two cards are still about your mother. Whether hanging on, escaping, or hanging on to the end she is still there in your heart. Is that right? It seems like you have moved on yet the cards suggest otherwise. I hope you have moved on with your life and these cards pertain to some other, smaller issue. You don't need to be here any longer.
Last card is Justice, Major Arcana 11. Barbara Moore has an interesting take on Justice. There is a sword in the middle of everything. In this depiction, Justice sits between the past and the future. She cannot help you or hurt you. The message is you make your own karma. Your past will influence, but not determine your future. Your future is still yours to make. You are not a prisoner of your past, nor are you doomed to relive you past, yet it is there all the same, a part of you. Past and future, connected. We can talk privately if you like.
At least this card speaks to your future. I don't want to stay in your past, neither do you. It's funny, I didn't want the read to end like this so I drew one more card. I drew Justice again. Then I drew the Empress, the mother archetype. That's really you right not- wife, mother, building a home and a family. If the past is still clinging to you it may be time for a little ceremony to cut the ties, or maybe some skilled counseling.
Admittedly not my most flowery read. This is what I have for you today. I hope it resonates with you.
