CoastRider 22nd May, 2012
Dear Laura I have been trying to sell my house in Spain for almost 3 years now. I have dropped the price several times but still have not had any real interest. The bank has put up the interest rate on my mortgage so much that I am
struggling to make the repayments. I have told them that I am trying to sell but they still want the higher sum of money from me each month. This is eating into my capital which is dwindling fast. If things go on like this I am going to have to let the bank repossess my property which will leave me in an even worse situation than I am now. I really don't know what to do and at the moment can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. I would be grateful if you could give me some clue as to what the future holds for me as from where I'm standing it does not look too rosie. Thank you A
Dear A Well from reading your letter above your situation seems pretty desperate & the first card in your spread shows your major indecision. You feel you can't move on with your life & you are clearly worried what to do for the best - do you hand back your house or do you continue to plod on hoping that there will be a miraculous change in your fortune? I feel you are worrying unnecessarily as the next three cards are all lovely. The Justice card - things will become more balanced for you. I have drawn the 10 of Cups - meaning a very happy situation & the 4 of Wands - a happy new home! There is little point in me drawing any more cards for you as in just these four cards your question has been answered. I would also say A that you should explore all avenues to sell your house. Try some new agents, try advertising on the internet. Be proactive to ensure that your property has the maximum exposure & that way you are more likely to find a buyer.
Hi Laura I have known this man for several months and I was wondering what he thinks of me. He seems to like me but has not asked me out. I know he's not seeing anyone at the moment and whenever I see him he always
offers to buy me a drink but that's as far as it goes. I am wondering if I am imagining things or reading too much into the situation. I am so confused! I don't know his date of birth but mine is 29.06.1957. C
Dear C In situations like this it is always a good idea to find out what the other person thinks about you. It can potentially save a lot of heartache in the future! The cards I'm afraid do not look very good for you in relation to this man. You are right about receiving mixed signals - he seems to want to work at being together with you but this is by communication only ie by offering you a drink & therefore having a chat. I have the 5 of Swords afterwards which is one of the nastiest ones in the pack - a card of deception. Now whether he feels he is leading you on or whether he has been badly hurt or cheated on in the past, or whether he has loved & lost, either way it is not a pleasant card. I have further down the spread a card of a blond female & a dark haired male - the hair might be grey now but the cards depict the original colouring, & the following card is someone looking at their options very carefully. I am afraid C that I have no cards of love or affection in your spread so I think it would be in your best interest to forget about this man in the romantic way, just keep him as a friend. Things may change in time but I'm sure he's picking up the vibes that you're interested in him so if you take a step back & keep your communications friendly, but not too friendly, then he might think differently in the future. I'd keep your options open here!
CoastRider 15th May, 2012
Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to read my question and I hope you will be able to give me a free reading to be published in the Coastrider. I have never managed to form a long lasting relationship and would dearly love to. I am
a man in my early sixties with mental health issues. I have a wide range of problems ranging from OCD, ADH, mild autism and others which are less widely known. As a result I find it difficult to interact with people generally. I find it difficult to meet other people other than those in support groups who have similar conditions to myself. I do attract femals but the ones which like me I don't find attractive. I can type but I can't use a computer so my friend has kindly written this for me. Can you see love for me in the future? Kisses J
Dear J Thank you for writing into me at CoastRider & for reading my column. Relationships are very complex generally even for people who do not have obstacles like yourself. I believe that half of the answer is to really be brutally honest with yourself, meaning..... that you take awhile to ponder on what you really want from a relationship. What sort of person do you believe would be a suitable partner. Get a piece of paper whilst doing this & write all your thoughts on it. Try to make bullet points rather than a long paragraph. Consider whether you want someone around you 24/7 or just a couple of days a week. Can it be a long distance relationship even? Also think about what their interests might be, what their hobbies are, what their job is etc. Even write down the physical attributes this person might have, whether they have children etc. Then number these bullet points in order of importance. Keep doing that until you have 3 main headings. You must be honest here & also you must be realistic too. Once you have got your 3 main points then you will know exactly what you are looking for. The next stage is to then consider where you are likely to meet someone with these attributes. By writing this all down & by reading out your list in the order of importance it is also stating your intentions to the universe - it is called Cosmic Ordering. Noel Edmunds, the ex DJ & presenter of Deal or No Deal is a great fan of this method & he found love after having a messy divorce with his first wife. I also think that it would be a great idea if you could try & get some help in using a computer. I know that with your particular problems this might be difficult but once you overcome the initial obstacles you will find that they open up a completely new world via the internet. You mention that you can type so you have mastered the hardest part of using a computer as it has exactly the same keyboard as a typewriter. I do believe there is potentially love out there for you & everyone else - it's just a matter of deciding what you want from a person & a relationship & then being single minded in finding it without red herrings along the way. Imagine if you were to go to a sweet shop. You ask for some sweets. The man behind the counter would ask you which kind you want - mints, fruity ones, toffees, chocolate, boiled sweets etc. You might answer mints & then he'd ask whether you want toffee mints, Polos, Tictacs, Everton Mints, Cough Candy etc. So he can only really give you the sweets you want when you have some sort of idea of what you want. Without that knowledge then you are likely to be disappointed & come out of the shops with sweets you don't want! I have drawn you 3 Angel Heart Love Cards. Card 1 says "I present you with choices. Just follow your heart, I will guide you". Card 2 says "Let me guide you to gently let go of this situation". Card 3 says "I encourage you to persist!" All of these cards seem to be summing up in short sentences what I have been advising you in answer to your question. I wish you the best of luck & happiness J in finding a lovely partner for you to share your future with.

Dear Laura, Nobody is in my shoes, Nobody knows how I really feel, Am I in for a bit of better times, And will my wounds in future heal? Regards, D
Dear D I feel you are heading into better times as I have the Sun card at the end of your fairly short spread of cards. At the moment I am picking up that there is a relationship problem - the 2 of Cups & straight after that the Page of Swords which indicates unpleasant communications. In the recent past there has very much been a situation where you feel that life has dealt you a hard knock but you must try not to let it affect the future. Try to draw a line under what has happened, as after all, you cannot change what has already happened. You can however, change the path of your future by focussing on the positives, even if you can't see them at the moment. I can see that you're trying to be positive due to the way your question has been formed into a rhyme! Things will be difficult for awhile, you will feel you are juggling things & you will find yourself retiring into your shell. This time will be an important time for you, a time for reflection on the past & reflection on what the future may hold. After this period you will go through a major learning curve, will start approaching your life & your difficulties differently. It is then that the Sun begins to shine on you. I have drawn you an Ask the Angels Card which says "Freedom - we are already free, we only have to realise it!"
Dear Laura We moved to Spain last summer and are finding life tougher than we thought. Neither my husband nor I have managed to find decent paying work and are dipping into our savings. These are dwindling fast. Although we decided to
retire early we are both active and thought it would be easy to get work to top us up but that has not really happened. We love living over here and the lifestyle but we are at the stage where we need to take stock of things and make a decision which we don't really want to. We have a house in Durham which we have let our son live in as he can't afford a place of his own. We have considered selling this but then where would J go to live? We don't want to have to move back to the UK and luckily we decided to rent when we came over so that is one less problem. My husband thinks we should sell our house and use the money to live on but I am concerned that when that money goes what happens next? My husband is older than myself and his health is not so good. I worry that if we do what he suggests I will have nothing for later years. What do you think we should do? I am so mixed up at the moment. Thanks you Laura B x
Dear B I think you are right to be cautious. Do not fall into the trap of burying your head in the Spanish sand thinking that this problem will disappear if you don't sort it out. There are hundreds if not thousands of people who have had to return to the UK without a penny in their pockets with nowhere to go back to. I feel your husband is being somewhat foolish. Statistically women do outlive men & surely he would like to know that you have a comfortable roof over your head if he passes before you. Capital is very hard to accumulate & once it has gone, it has gone. You also have to really take into consideration the difficulties which you both have had earning money in Spain so please do not use your savings, which are thankfully tied up in a property in the UK to bail yourselves out. I don't think you need a psychic here, you need a reality check! You don't say how large your house is & presumably your son is an adult. One option might be to sell your house, purchase something smaller in an area where you would like to retire to yourself if your husband passes before you & use a small amount of the capital to ease your current life in Spain. Don't forget you will need money to live on in the future so don't fritter it all away now. With regard to your son, I'm sure he could live in a smaller environment or you may even find that you can give him a smallish one-off sum of money to help him establish himself. I too have drawn you an Ask the Angels Card which says "Ask Archangel Michael for protection, guidance & focus for you & your children".
CoastRider 1st May, 2012
Hello Laura , Can I ask you for your help as my head is all over the place and don't know where to turn I was married for over 20 years I now am divorced. M y ex husband wants to try again as he says that he now what he has lost.
He also says that he has never stopped loving me even when he was in a relationship with someone else. Do you see us getting back together again or do I leave him in the past? Part of me wants to give him a second chance and part off me is worried he will hurt me again . thanks J
Dear J I have changed your question to ask "what does my ex husband think about me". Sometimes it is better to go right back to basics before making any long term decisions. I know what he is saying so let's cross reference. In the recent past I have drawn the Empress card which indicates that he feels that there were strong foundations in the past which could be built on, meaning that there was more substance to your relationship than he probably has had with anybody since. I feel he does want a fresh start & is prepared to work at the relationship but what does strike me here is that there are no cards of affection. There are certainly cards of financial dealings though. I have drawn many cards the first card showing real feeling is the 23rd card drawn! I feel you have been through more than enough & although he is showing willing I am not seeing the 'happy couple'. I have now asked a direct question which is "is it in J's best interest to get back with her ex husband?" In the past I have a card of the Karmic Twins & in the present the Devil - chained to a situation - possibly you have children together so he will always be in your life to some extent? Again I have money in the cards & that I feel will sway your decision. So my answer to you would be to get back with him for the financial stability but don't get back with him if you think you will be the 'loved up' couple again. I have drawn you an Angel Heart Love Card which says 'Things will fall into place at the right time. Trust divine timing' -Eth
Dear Laura I recently sold my house which I was living in with my partner of 14 years. I told him that I was going to rent it out whereas infact I sold it and left him. He is now storking me and says he wants us to get back together. A
few days later he will then send me nasty emails threatening me with legal action as he wants some of the profits from the sale of my house. I am involved with someone else now and will never go back to S. Do you think he will get tired and move on with his life or do you see him taking legal action and me having to give him some money? Thanks B
Dear B I feel you have to act with caution here. He is going through a wide range of emotions from bereavement to anger to despair. The Moon card indicates that you should do nothing at the moment as you & I are not entirely sure what he is going to do next. I have drawn 3 of the nastiest cards in the pack. I would not offer him any money just yet as I do not see financial transactions in the cards. I do feel that S is not going to go away in a hurry & will continue to put pressure on you. My advice is to just wait & see & hopefully things will eventually calm down. He certainly is not very happy at the moment & wants to lash out. It may well be worth your while spending some money for a legal consultation just to see what the worst scenario could be if he decided to go down the legal route himself. With regard to your new relationship I feel that will go from strength to strength & with someone else by your side that will take some of the burden off you. I have drawn you an Angel Heart Love Card which says 'Have patience, all is well, we'll sit & wait together' - Tual.
CoastRider 24th April, 2012
Dear Laura, I am sorry to write again but I feel that you know me now. I am having a really hard time with my life at the moment. Since I came back to live in the uk I cant seem to find a job and I dont go out at all. My confidence is
very low and I am finding myself dwelling on past sadness. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for me ? xx 10.05.63 S
Dear S The card of the present is you turning your back on things & relocating overseas. The Hangman next to this shows that at the moment you are sitting on the fence, not sure which way to turn next. I have a light haired man showing himself in your spread, whether he is in your life at the moment or whether he is just about to enter it I'm not entirely sure but he is card number 4 in your spread. You will have to make a decision about this man & also weigh up your options, what is the best course of action for you. The 4 of Wands can mean two things - one a happy new home, the second getting involved in a happy relationship with this man. I also feel you will be going for a job interview fairly soon too & the result of that will be you moving into a new work environment. So all in all your spread looks good with lots of positive change coming up. Try to be positive about your current situation because when you are feeling low then it does affect things in a negative way, whereas if you are positive & optimistic it's amazing how things come together much easier & quicker. I have drawn you an Angel Love Card which says 'I am sending you energy you need to look after yourself' - Sofiel.
Dear Laura My husband is much older than me and unfortunately his health is deteriorating pretty quickly. He has Alzheimers and also Parkinsons. I am finding it really hard to cope with him but love him so dearly. We have a
very good friend who is being really supportive and I think I'm beginning to fall in love with him. I'd never leave my husband and P knows this but it does not stop me dreaming of us having a life together once J has passed. I want to know if you see a future with P and whether he will be a life partner. My husband knows nothing of our feelings for each other and it would devastate him if he did. I am so confused at the moment and also feel guilty for having these thoughts for P. With Love and Light B
Dear B This is a tricky question for me to answer because it is a question which takes into account morals & is also quite emotive. Some people may tell you to wait until your husband passes, others may tell you to seize opportunities for your future happiness. I have decided to 'sit on the fence' & leave the cards to give you their message. The Emperor is the wise old man & I feel you have been working hard to look after him in the past & present. You now have an opportunity to have a fresh start in your life but the problem is the nature of your husband's illnesses - he could live for many years with these conditions & of course they are both degenerative in nature. The High Priestess tells me that you can't see how things are going to work out in the future with your husband & the Devil indicates that you feel chained to your situation. You love your husband but... I feel you will start a relationship with P & as he knows the situation with your husband & knows that you won't leave him then it looks as this is not such a bad option. The 2 of Pentacles indicates that you will be doing two of the same thing which I take to mean having two relationships simultaneously. This will have its problems & at times there will be struggles, possibly feelings of guilt but at the end of the spread I have the Sun Card which is always very positive. So in a nutshell the cards are indicating that you will have both men in your life & that you will be able to deal with the obstacles as & when they occur. I have drawn you an Angel Love Card which says #I am opening the channels of loving communication for you' - Gabriel.
CoastRider 17th April, 2012
Dear Laura I don´t know what to tell you about me, what you need to know, so here goes. I divorced my wasteful husband nearly 5 years ago and finally got rid of him nearly 4 years ago. I have lived alone since then
among nice neighbours and have some good friends, but am I ever likely to meet a man for genuine friendship. Up until now I have not chosen well so am not looking for a husband, but an independent companion. I will be 61 years old in July, can you see any future for me? Do you need to know anything else? Kind regards M
Dear M The cards do indicate that you have indeed been unlucky in love & as a result you have pretty much turned your back on having anything more than friendship. I do see a man coming up for you, he would originally have had dark coloured hair, he may well even be a younger man & Spanish. He is also showing himself as being financially secure - he may well be a businessman & he will give you the fresh start which you crave. I don't see this panning out very well though as I think he is going to want more emotionally than you are prepared to give & this will cause conflict & inner turmoil for you. There is a run of no less than nine cards all depicting this along with one card which tells me you will be going through a major learning curve. The final outcome is the Wish Card & then a fairer man pops up. I believe the darker man will in some way pave the way for a more suitable partner/friend to enter your life & you will be better equipped to emotionally take him on. I have drawn you an Ask the Angels Card which says 'Know you are always loved & protected'.
Dear Laura I had an relationship with a married man which culminated in a lovely baby. During our time together we lived in different countries but were in constant contact and although he was unable to be at the
birth of B he was at the end of the phone. Since B's birth he has only seen him twice and that was when I went to visit him. When I was last over to see him things came to a head and I told his wife all. Reason being is that he has paid no maintenance and has not once brought B a present or sent him a card. Everything has gone horribly wrong and in January I sent him an email wishing him happiness with his wife and that I would not bother them again. I am hurting so much as I have heard absolutely nothing and I just can't get over how he can be so callus. Not one phone call, not one text. B is a wonderful baby and I can't get over how he can turn his back on him especially after he encouraging me to have B and his excitement at being a father again especially has his wife cannot have children. I keep trying to stay positive but I am finding it harder and harder. Will I hear from S in the future and will he be part of our lives? Thank you so much Laura T x
Dear T Oh dear, yes you are in a bit of a mess - it is the same old story, getting involved with someone who is attached to another, it is pretty much guaranteed to bring heartache & the problem which you have is of course the constant reminder every time you look at your son. I have asked whether S will be part of your lives in the future & although I feel he will be in contact again in the future, I do see a long wait & I don't see him as playing the active role which you would wish for. My advice to you would be to try to get on with your life, enjoy watching your son grow & not hold your breath. I am sure he does think about you & B but there is nothing you can do to make him show an interest but one day, I'm sure curiosity will get the better of him & you will hear from him but do you really want someone dipping in & out of your lives as & when they feel like it? I have drawn you an Ask the Angels Card which says 'See God's light in everyone'.
CoastRider 10th April, 2012
Dear Laura I brought an apartment off a developer whilst the development was under construction. I have never had all the paperwork as he told me all would be given to me once all the building work had
been completed. Three years on and work on the site has all but stopped, there is hardly anyone there, the area is like a ghost town and I still don't have the correct paperwork. I am wishing to sell but of course without the correct papers I am stuck. This is starting to get to me and I am feeling more and more trapped and depressed. Do you see the development being finished and my being able to get the paperwork? And if so, do you see me being able to sell and move on with my life as at the moment I am thoroughly miserable. Best wishes A
Dear A At the moment it appears as if you have pretty much given up. In the past you have shown yourself as the Queen of Swords, a lady who was prepared to fight her corner & continue until victorious but now it seems as if the fight has gone. You are in limbo - I have two cards which tell me this - you feel that you need to move on with your life but how & when? There is a dark haired man showing himself in your cards & being the suit of Pentacles shows that he is a businessman. You will feel that you cannot get your hopes up yet again for them to be dashed. The Star card shows that you are at last on the right track with this man & the pair of you will start to unravel your problematic situation. I have drawn the 10 of Cups which shows that you will have a happy outcome in some respects. You may well have to wait until the middle of next year before you can really move onto the next chapter of your life but at least things don't look quite so bleak as you think. I have drawn you an Angel Heart Card which says 'Things will fall into place at the right time. Trust divine timing' - Eth.
Hello Laura My son is so chicken hearted I just don't want him ending up getting in trouble to keep in with the older boys over the summer please help me, plus I need help with a man I've been out with
on and off for 5 years mostly on his terms? How do I know if he's really wanting me for keeps I am 40 now And he's 36 x please answer my mail oh can I get your emails to subscribe too, N xx
Dear N With regards to you r son I feel the best way forward it to try & get him to stay with family away from your local environment. I don't think you want him to be away from you but if he is at a vulnerable age & wants to mix with the older boys then this could be storing up problems for the future. The 4 of Wands indicates he would be perfectly happy if he went to stay elsewhere for much of the summer. With regard to your relationship, I have asked what he thinks about you - this should answer whether he wants you for keeps. I am afraid to say that the cards are not looking very positive here. He has been thinking long & hard about your relationship & the ways things are & have been for quite some time. I have not drawn any particularly positive cards here & from where I am standing, I would say that he is likely to move on unless you can get this relationship back on track. I have asked another question for you - What can N do to get this relationship back on track with her partner? Your partner was very happy in the past with the relationship but the present shows quarrels & struggles generally. He also feels that things have not worked out as he had hoped & there is resentment here. I also feel that he feels emasculated in some way - does he feel that you take too much control of the relationship? I know you say that the relationship is on his terms but I feel he believes the opposite. I have drawn the Wish Card which is very positive so I do think you can salvage this relationship, I have picked out an Angel Heart Card for you too which says 'I am encouraging the flames of passion to burn brightly for you! ' - Nathaniel.
CoastRider 3rd April, 2012
Dear Laura Do you see happiness for me in the future? 2011 was terrible and 2012 is not looking any better.
Dear K I feel that things are beginning to come together with you financially - I have discussions to do with finances & I have also drawn the 10 of Pentacles, which indicates a lump sum of money. I am also picking up relationship issues & whether you are standing alone at the moment, having recently lost a loved one or whether you just feel isolated. The 5 of Pentacles indicates that you need to put 2011 firmly behind you & also, for that matter the first part of 2012. How you view your lot in life will very much influence the future. You cannot change what has happened in the past but by focusing on the positives of your life things will already start to look better, but if you focus on a gloomy past then I'm afraid the future does not look quite so rosy. I feel from August onwards things are going to start looking up for you, there will be new beginnings, you will seem to have a better perspective on things generally & it will be the time to start moving onto the next stage of your life. The Judgement card is very auspicious & gives you the wherewithal to move on.
Dear Laura, I wrote to you in February asking you what was in store for me because my husband had left me for our daughters friends mum. I asked you if he regretted it. Your reading helped me and I think I can believe
that he is regretting it. But he always seems so off with me. I do not seem to be able to reform any real friendship with him and this is affecting my relationship with my children. Why can he not be friends with me ? What is making him be like this ? Surely if he thinks we have more solid foundations than he has with this other woman then why can't he at least be friendly. He seems only concerned about his other life. We were so close before and we have 2 gorgeous children. Can you tell me why he is being like this. Or son is having so many problems and I asked him to help but he did not seem very concerned. Does it make any sense to you ? Is this other woman stronger than he is ? does she have some kind of hold over him ? I sent him a long email.....did he read it at all? He has not replied. I hope you can help me S
Dear S You have several questions here so I have picked one question for you myself which is "what is going on around S's husband at the moment". The 1st card which literally flew out of the pack is the Hanged Man - which means that he really does not know what to do so is doing absolutely nothing at the moment. He is sitting on the fence, waiting to see what happens in the future. At the moment & in the recent past, he feels that your relationship has broken down & is finished. He is also considering a future with this other woman - they may even be considering moving to a slightly different location, even back to the UK! At the moment he feels that his new partnership is all that he could want as he has the Sun card beaming down on the pair of them but... I have someone coming back into his life & I would take that as being you, or the children. The World indicates that things are going to move into a new cycle & I have him showing himself as wanting to try & work out a compromise or a solution to the 'problem'. The Page of Swords indicates that there is going to be a bit of a showdown, addressing things which have, up until now, been ignored. As a result of this, but please wait, don't start this, just wait until the time is right, I feel there will be a thawing in his attitude towards you. I also feel that he will reconsider his choices which he made as the Empress indicates that there were firm foundations laid with your relationship with him & he is going to be more aware of them. He also knows that with yourself he already had a good relationship in the past, there is no learning curve so to speak. You know each other very well, what grates, what makes both of you happy, what makes both of you sad. Give this time, I would not be at all surprised if he came back to you in the future as I have drawn the 4 of Wands - known traditionally as the marriage card or the happy new home. Why I say this is the card , the 6 of Cups, which means someone coming back into his life - this woman is already very much in his life at the moment & you're not.......
CoastRider 27th March, 2012
Dear Laura I want to thank you for answering a question I sent in to you last year. I now have another problem on my hands and wonder if you could look at the cards again for me to give me some direction. You said
that I would be moving last year and that now has happened. You saw me remaining in Spain which I am. I have got a good friend over here who is thinking of returning back to the UK as her partner is ill and they feel they wish to be closer to their family as his illness is terminal. She has a beauty salon and has given me first refusal. I have been looking at starting my own business since moving and wonder if this would be a good opportunity for me. Love J
Dear J Thank you for the feedback - always nice to know how things work out for CoastRider readers. The card of the past indicates your unexpected positive communication & the present card indicates celebration. I feel you will decide to take this new work opportunity up despite having to juggle things somewhat. I would like to offer you some words of caution though. I feel this business is not going to be quite as simple as you think as the cards in the future are showing financial struggle & arguments relating to finances. So what I do feel you need to do is to really go through the books, see exactly how productive this business has been in the past & likely to be in the future. I feel you will need to change the dynamics of the business in the not too distant future & I also feel you will be working there pretty much full time. These cards are an indication of how things will work out if you decide to take up your friend's offer meaning that the outcome is not set in stone. You may decide after doing this vital research that this business is not really for you & that will close one chapter & open another life chapter for you. I have drawn you an Angel Eth Card which says 'Things will fall into place at the right time. Trust divine timing'.
Dear Laura My wife left me for my best friend last year. We are still on civil terms and still own our property jointly. I am just wondering whether she will ever come back to me or whether this is the end of the road for us. She
has had other affairs during our marriage but has always come back to me eventually. This particular affair has been going on for almost eight months which is making me worried as she normally goes off for a month or two and then returns back to me, we pick up the pieces and usually find our marriage to be stronger than ever. She has never left me for such a lengthy time before and I am wondering whether I have to face facts that our marriage is over. She is my soul mate, she means the world to me and I can't see a future without this beautiful loving woman in my life. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. T
Dear T The Moon Card jumped out as I was shuffling & the meaning of that card is time, wait patiently until at least the end of the month of April before making any life changing decisions. The cards which I have drawn are not particularly pleasant & indicates communication in the not too distant future with regard to finances & quarrels. I have also drawn the 6 of Swords which indicates someone will be turning their back on a situation mentally & physically. The good news is that I feel your wife will turn her back on her lover, things will start taking shape again for you & the Sun Card indicates a happy outcome to your question. I do feel that it might take up to 4 months before things come together for you both again & I do expect there to be communication in connection with ending your marriage between then & now. I have drawn you an Angel Adiel Card which says 'Let me guide you gently let go of this situation'

Hello Laura, I am a young 71 year old single woman, (children and grandchildren) and wonder if there still is anything exciting to look forward to? Financially and/or a partner or gentleman friend? Thank you for your answer.
Hello P Whilst shuffling the Magician Card jumped out of the pack - all cards which are accidently dropped should always be taken into consideration with any reading. This card symbolises a new start, a clean slate & that is what I feel you need. The cards of the immediate past & the present are all showing life to be a bit of a struggle & the 10 of Wands indicates that life needs to be changed, a card of getting rid of things no longer relevant in your life. I do feel there are going to be financial dealings coming up for you in the next couple of months but at the same time I do feel it won't be entirely to your liking. There is also a man either in your life as a friend or someone coming into your life as I have only drawn 9 cards but I tend to go with him being already around. There is something 'wrong' with this man as I have a card of major indecision about him - indicating that he would not be the type of man you would normally be interested in. I feel you are still holding a candle for a love lost & I feel that any man who comes into your life would have to be prepared to take things very slowly, even just remain as a good friend. I do feel there is a potential partnership here if you are prepared to allow. I have drawn you an Angel Adiel Card which says 'Let me guide you gently, let go of this situation'
Hi Laura I have a very strong connection with a lady I recently met. We are both into crystals, Reiki, past life connections and feel that we have been together in a previous life. We have discussed the possibility
endlessly and wonder if you could shed some light on our situation. We have only known each other only for a short time, since the beginning of this year but we clicked immediately and feel there is something more to our connection. We always read your column in CoastRider and know that you are very busy but would love you to tune in to see what you are picking up for us. With love K
Hi K I feel there is a strong Karmic Link between the pair of you. For those of you reading, Karma can be carried over many lifetimes & one school of thought is that key players in your life - such as siblings, parents, spouses, best friends etc all have a Karmic link. Karma works like a bank balance, & if someone passes & there is unbalance then the both of you have to meet again to redress that Karmic balance. I should mention that not all Karmic links are pleasant but yours clearly is. I do feel you were husband & wife in the previous existence & I also feel that you were a female energy & she male. I also feel that the pair of you passed together & have both been drawn together in this incarnation. The interesting thing is that you both have a strong interest in crystals & Reiki which are methods to heal oneself. I would not be at all surprised if you both passed under unpleasant circumstances which again is positive for this incarnation. I feel the bond which you have between you will grow from strength to strength & I wish you both well in your new found happiness. I have drawn you an Angel Sahaquiel Card which says 'I'll lift you to reach for the start: live your dreams!'

Dear Laura I would like to know if I should stay in my marriage and if not whether there is someone else and love out there for me.
Dear W I feel you have been trying very hard in this relationship, you feel that the marriage is worth trying to save as you have, I feel been married for a long time. I believe you have being trying to look on the positives of the situation but the card in the present indicates discussions in connection with finances & there is a dark haired man (possibly grey now) connected with it. This I take to be your husband. Try as you might, you don't seem to be able to see a future with your husband, however hard you try. I feel the pair of you will take a trip over water within the next 6 weeks & that will be a 'make or break' situation. The Fool Card indicates that you are going to be feeling cautious as continuing as you have been & The Hermit indicates that you feel isolated & in a rut generally. I have a fairer haired man coming back into your life & you will find yourself having to make a firm decision either way. Do you jump ship or do you stay. I do not feel at this stage it would be right to indicate what your final decision will be but I can tell you that things will progress pretty quickly. I have drawn you an Angel Card for inspiration which says 'Know that you are always loved & protected'. This tells me that whatever you finally chose to do it will be the right decision.
Dear Laura I have been having vivid dreams since moving to Spain 6 months ago and I wonder what they mean. Sometimes I feel I am trapped, other times running away. I see faces and sometimes people with their backs to me. I wake up
sometimes sweating and have to open the windows and get some air. Can you shed some light on their meanings for me? L
Dear L I am picking up that the move to Spain was a major life change for you & I believe it is your energies readjusting to your new situation. I also feel you moved out of a not so good situation in the UK & although you can move country, unless you sort out your problems beforehand, those same problems will still exist. With regard to seeing faces, this can indicate that you are being guided, depending on whether they are friendly or not, & of course what their expressions are. The turning their back to me indicates you having turned your back on people who were meaningful in your past & who are feeling hurt that you have cut them out of your life for the time being. I suggest you take sometime to meditate on why you really moved to Spain, whether you really don't want these people in your life & why. I then think it would be a good idea to do some further meditations focusing on your new life in Spain, what that means to you & what you hope to achieve being there. I don't know if you work over in Spain but I am picking up that keeping yourself busy with work be it paid or charity work would be beneficial to you. I have drawn you too an Angel Card which says 'Angels can appear in many different forms'. This indicates to me that many of the faces which you are seeing are there to help you in your search for peace & happiness
CoastRider 28th February, 2012
Dear Laura I moved back to the UK in 2010 and have never really been happy since. I miss Spain and the climate and the lifestyle but my wife prefers to be back home with the grandchildren. I don’t want to hurt her
feelings but I am thinking of moving back without her If she does not want to come with me. We have had a few heated arguments about this and I am getting more fed up. The climate is awful, there is no work and the crime is terrible. We have a house in England which we bought on our return but nothing in Spain. I don’t want to end the marriage which would mean selling the house to get some funds for me to move back to Spain. We have been married for over 30 years and it would be a shame after so long but my heart is not in the UK. I know she reads your column on line and maybe if she read my letter to you she might reconsider and decide to join me in my path. Many thanks Laura J
Dear J Your letter is not an uncommon one. Often women miss their families back home as they are maternal whereas men do not seem to have this need to be close to their grown up children & their off spring. It would, as you say be a pity to end a marriage as long as yours & you clearly are concerned about hurting your wife. The obvious option, if you can stand it financially is to rent somewhere small & remain in the UK & have several trips a year over to Spain either together or on your own, but of course I don’t know what your financial situation is. I will now do a spread of the Tarot Cards for you to see what the future holds for you. They indicate that you have been thinking of making this move for quite sometime & the 3 of Swords indicates the rift between you & your wife. You will, I feel continue to stay in the UK for a short while yet, trying to see if your feelings change but I don’t think they will. The Tower indicates things breaking down, the seed has been planted & it is growing day by day. The 4 of Pentacles indicates that the finances are going to be balanced & the 9 of Wands shows that a plan is being hatched as a result. I don’t see your marriage ending as I feel you & your wife will manage to work out a compromise. You will be spending more time in Spain than your wife I believe but I also believe your marriage to be strong enough to withstand the separations.
Dear Laura We rented a villa in Quesada from a private landlord just before Christmas. Nothing in the villa works, the washing machine is broken, the boiler keeps breaking down and the underbuild is damp. We signed a
lease for 11 months but want to leave. The landlord says we can’t as we are contractually obligated to stay but at the same time is refusing to make any repairs to the property. We have spent a small fortune getting things repaired and buying things for the villa as it was only part furnished and what was there was old and stained. We gave this man 2 months rent as a deposit and a months rent in advance. If we walk away from this we will loose a lot of money which we can’t afford plus it is difficult to rent somewhere where we can use our furniture as most properties come fully furnished. If we get something unfurnished then it is more money for us to spend. What do you think the outcome will be? Blessings D
Dear D The card in the past, the 10 of Swords indicates how you feel you have been taken for a ride & the card of the present indicates things not going as you had hoped. I have a dark man here showing himself in the cards. The King of Swords could also indicate a man with a legal disposition. Either way, I believe things will move forward quite quickly as I have only drawn 5 cards for your spread & the 10 of Pentacles indicates that you will receive a lump sum of money. Being psychic aside, I do feel a solicitor’s letter to the landlord might just do the trick.
CoastRider 21st February, 2012
Dear Laura I am worried about my daughter who has been married for 15 years and has a young family. Her husband works for the prison service in England so goes back and forth for work. There has been a
rumour for sometime that he has been having an affair with one of the women at work and now we find out that she is pregnant. My daughter is in denial but I have a good friend in London who says this woman is still very much around my son in law and she believes the baby is his. I have never liked my son in law and I do believe my friend. My daughter refuses to hear anything against him and it is breaking my heart to see her used like this. I am certain he is the father of this child and want my daughter to leave him. She is very defensive when anyone says anything about him and at the moment its like walking on egg shells around her. Do you think he is the father and is there anything I can do? from M
Dear M I think you need to tread very carefully here otherwise you risk alienating your daughter. I know you want to help but it seems your daughter is not wanting answers, she just wants someone to sound off to, someone to whom she can talk to in a non judgmental way in order to get her thoughts collected. My advice in the first instance is to completely back off & try, through gritted teeth to be as supportive as possible towards her but not to the extent of rubbing in the behaviour of her husband. The Empress in the present position indicates the pair of you becoming closer & building on the strong bond which has been starting to erode due to the situation & your concern. The Magician indicates a clean slate, a fresh start, a new way of approaching the situation but again you are not happy with the idea & there are going to be many tears of frustration. I feel your daughter has financial balance so at least she & the children are being supported but again there is the strong possibility that this may well not last in the future. I feel your daughter is putting on a brave face here & I also feel there will be some sort of reconciliation between her & her husband but again I feel this will be short lived. From the quantity of cards which I have drawn, I feel this situation will continue for maybe even another six months before things really come to a head & your daughter has to face facts. I have drawn the Death card – the end of a situation but at least it brings things out into the open. The Page of Swords indicates starts of unpleasant communication & the Ten of Swords, depicted as someone being stabbed in the back, indicates that she will have to face facts & realise that he has not only been cheating but would appear that this woman’s child is more than likely her husband’s too. The following run of cards all indicate struggles, turmoil & strife ahead. I believe in about the seven months time your daughter will go to the UK herself & unfortunately I do see financial hardship ahead of her. With these cards showing I think the only thing you can do is to be supportive, the cards have confirmed your worst suspicions – you just have to wait for events to unfurl naturally. Just remember, your daughter & her children will need you more than ever then so try to stay detached from the situation until your shoulder is needed, which it will be. I have drawn you an Angel Card as you too need support during this period of transition which says “Ask Archangel Michael for protection, guidance & focus for you & your children”
Dear Laura I have met a lovely new man and am wondering if he feels the same about me? My DOB is 20/08/1960. J
Dear J I feel this man has had relationship problems in the past which have not ended well. He is certainly putting effort into you – he is going through a learning curve which suggests you are very different from his ex. I have drawn the Four of Wands which indicates two people moving a relationship onto the next level. This card is traditionally known as the marriage card or could indicate a new home. All looks good but I would advise you to try to take things slowly as the card afterwards is the Hermit. This card indicates that you will be having to search deep inside yourself & being true to what you want. Just make sure that you don’t get carried away with his dreams, make sure that they’re yours as well.
CoastRider 13th February, 2012
Dear Laura, I hope you can tell me what is in store for me. My husband left me for our daughters friends mum over a year ago. It was very traumatic for us all as we
were living in Spain. How is he feeling now that he has left us all and living with her ? His dob is 27.03.66 and his name is A. I still care about him and wonder if he regrets such a sudden decision. I am in touch with a married friend that I met early last year and wonder if we should stay in touch. My son has gone off the rails and I am so scared. I am just so lonely and confused at the moment. My dob is 10.05.63 S
Dear S At the time he left I believe he felt he was doing the right thing & I also believe that when he left it was a quick decision. He followed his dreams but now I don’t think he’s quite so sure that he made the right decision. I believe he thinks that you & he have more in common with each other & I feel he would like to try & get back with you again. From the Page of Swords this would indicate that things are not good between the pair of you, understandably which is stopping him from broaching the subject of getting back together again or at least giving it a go. He does believe that the pair of you have more solid foundations & a better understanding of each other which he does not have with this other woman. I feel therefore in answer to your question, does he regret leaving you? I’d say the answer is yes he does. With regard to your married friend you met last year, am I right in suggesting that you are thinking of getting romantically involved with him? If so, I’d advise against this – you know the pain of your partner cheating & going off with someone else so why would you wish to inflict this pain on anther? Statistically he is unlikely to leave his wife for you, despite your husband having left you for another. This does not normally happen so I would save yourself a lot of pain & heartache by steering clear of this man. If on the other hand all you want from him is a friend to talk to then stay in touch. I would only do this though if his wife is aware of the friendship. If she is not then I would seriously tread with great caution. Many of my readings are from people who have got lured into the arms of a married man, have fallen in love, have fallen for the sweet talk & find they cannot break out of the situation as a result. I would personally cast your eyes out & find someone who is not attached & take it slowly from there.
Dear Laura My friend died a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know what to do. She has a daughter but they fell out about six months ago. My friend wrote
her Will just before she passed with my assistance I’m ashamed to say. She has left her house in Spain to me and has only left the car and a couple of bits and bobs to her daughter. The funeral was awful as D was expecting to inherit the house and I had to break it to her that I had instead. D is devastated and I am beginning to have a pang of conscience. Do you think I should give D the house or keep it? I only have a small one bedroom apartment myself and keeping this house would be the answer to all my prayers. I know R and D had a troubled relationship as D has a history of drug addiction. She was always asking her mum for money and R often said to me that D would inherit nothing. I don’t know whether I am feeling like this out of grief or out of not doing the right thing. love R
Dear R This is a tricky one. Yes your friend was & had been upset about her daughters behaviour, -what mother would wish for her daughter to be an addict? I can understand how she would not wish for her money to be squandered on drugs yet at the end of the day it is her daughter & blood is thicker than water. I understand how uneasy you must feel about the situation & all I can advise you to do is to honestly listen to your conscience & do what you honestly believe your friend would have wanted. Families fall out all the time & things such as Wills can be written in haste out of a pique of anger, later to be deeply regretted. If nothing else, maybe you could sign over your own flat to the daughter?
CoastRider 7th February, 2012
Dear Laura I love reading your column and wonder if I would be lucky enough to have a free reading through the newspaper with you? We brought a bar in 2010 as a family business. We thought we would have the
best of both worlds the sun, an income and a wonderful life out here in Spain. Unfortunately this has not worked out as we had planned and our savings are dwindling as we are having to pay money out of our own pockets to keep the business afloat. We are seriously thinking of jacking it in as we don’t have a quality of life, we don’t get to see the children and my husband is having to do building work to help make ends meet. I love the bar and am not afraid of hard work but the pressure to keep open all day and night is killing us financially and is now affecting my marriage. I am seriously wondering whether to cut our losses and close down or to keep going in the hope that things change and start getting better. Thank you so much Laura J x
Dear J Please don’t forget that we are in the winter months & the tourists are not yet over in Spain. I feel this general malaise has been going on for some time now but the Empress card in the present position indicates that it is not yet time to throw in the towel. The Empress symbolises the harvest, the seeds which have been sown are now ready to reap. I feel the main problem is the separation of you & your family, & in particular your husband. He feels it more acutely that you do & I feel, from the cards is trying to encourage you to turn your back on the bar. I feel you should continue with the business, certainly until towards the end of this year & agree that you’ll run the bar & he should look for his own methods of employment. I feel by doing this, the pair of you will be happier having made this decision & the pair of you can start pulling together again. I also feel that the summer months are going to be better for you than last year & although I feel you & your husband will, at times struggle with the lack of time spent together the outcome will be worth it. I have asked another question for you “how can J make her bar more successful?” The answer funnily enough is pretty much what I’ve told you above. Your husband needs to focus on his work & you focus on the bar. He needs to basically back off & allow you to put all your energies into the bar. Once you get it more established then you could look at getting someone to run it for you part time, allowing you to then to spend more time together. I have drawn you an Angel Card which is the Archangel Sandalphon & the word on the card is Intention. The connection, I feel is more than clear!
Hello Laura It is the age old question but here goes. When will I meet my life partner? What will he look like? Where will I meet him? S
Dear S This is not really the sort of information that I give people as there are many people who could potentially be a life partner. If I told you that your life partner would be tall, dark & hansom then anyone else you met, who did not fit that description would immediately be discounted. What I have done though is to enquire via the cards as to whether there is a relationship coming up for you in the foreseeable future. I feel there was someone in the not so distant past & the pair of you were very happy. I also feel that you believed this relationship to be permanent. The Six of Swords indicates that someone turned their back on the situation, both mentally & physically. There might well have been an element of two timing going on. I have a dark man showing in the cards, medium brown hair & lighter, if grey now, his original colouring would be dark. I feel there is going to be a waiting game here but I feel this man is the person showing himself earlier in the spread. I feel his other relationship will peter out & he will want to come back to you. You will not be quite so keen to trust him again but I believe in time you will. The Sun indicates a positive outcome. He might not be your life partner but I feel there is still some mileage here. I have drawn you an Archangel Card which is Michael. The words on the cards say I am Presence. I take this to mean that this man will certainly come back into your life – he is someone who you cannot ignore!
CoastRider 31st January, 2012
Hello Laura, I have been reading your column in the Coastrider for a long time and the reason I am contacting you is that I was hoping you could give me some advise.I am
42, born 4th December 1969. I have lived in Spain for 9 years. My Partner J is 42 and born 10th May 1969. We have been together 14 years and have a 7 year old daughter.I feel our relationship is over, he has been saying for a while that he is moving out, but so far has made no move to do so. I work and have done for years, however my employer is having difficulties in the current climate and my contract is now only for 17 hours, and financially I really struggle. My Partner works 5 nights a week and he earns more than me, however he keeps every penny and contributes nothing, not food for his daughter, clothing, petrol, nothing. He also drinks heavily, from first thing in the morning. Since we have argued, and I have to point out we have not spoken in over 3 months, he awakes and leaves the house, he goes to various bars, if i am at work he will collect our daughter and take her back to school, Hwever if I am not then he stays out all day. He leaves to work in a bar at 5pm and is out until late, even at this time of year he is not coming home until 4am. He does not help around the home, he leaves everything for me when I get home from work. He brings himself takeaway meals while I struggle to feed my daughter and myself...and the dog! I know I have mood swings with PMT but have been taking vitamin B6 to help, I can be quiet and bottle things up but I feel I cant carry on like this, its mental torture!! What I would like to know is, can you see him leaving??. the way he has treated me has killed off all my love for him, I just worry if I can cope on my own financially, but I have no life living with him at the moment. Will I survive if I go it alone?? Does he want to go? Is he having affairs?? I would really appreciate any advise you can give me Laura, and something to aim for. I hope you can reply to me. Best Regards N
Dear N I do feel for you trying to keep everything together. One thing that does stand out immediately here is that you seem to be doing everything & your partner doing very little. I’d like to draw your attention to the sentence where you mention that whilst he does work he keeps his money to himself rather than contribute to the maintenance of his family. Without being psychic, I do wonder why you are staying with him. I am going to focus on your question of whether you would be able to survive if you go it alone. Whether he is having affairs or not really seems immaterial as you are running yourself ragged just to provide for yourself and your daughter, & him of course! In the past, I feel your partner was everything you could have dreamed of. I also see that there is a question mark over the 4 of Wands, which is known as the marriage card. The Two of Swords immediately before would indicate to me that maybe the pair of you have discussed marriage, you may even be engaged, but you are now very unsure. At the moment things are decidedly rocky and the 9 of Swords indicates your extreme frustration. You feel you are getting nowhere as your partner is not putting any real effort into the relationship; you are working very hard for what? He might not see your tears but they are there. I feel that you will make a decision very soon, you will weigh things up, will realise that you are pretty much on a hiding to nothing – what future is there for you? The Magician indicates a completely fresh start for you & the 6 of Swords indicates you turning your back on the current situation, mentally & physically. You will feel alone, you will look back on what could have been, if someone had put effort into their family, you will be very uncertain of your long term future too. I think by moving on, you will still be clutching at straws that he will come to his senses but I feel once you have got yourself out of this situation, & I think it is you who needs to move, you will see things more clearly. You will certainly feel stabbed in the back, you will have to give things time but the Sun card at the end of your spread indicates that by moving on you be doing the right thing for you & your daughter & the dog, Start saving your wages & start looking for something cheaper to move your small family to. Just remember, the first step is the hardest, the others will get easier.
