Maybe she was trying to tie all the cards together but didn’t explain that clearly?
If you’re single, the first set reads like you’ll get clearer on what you actually want in a relationship, which could make you more open to someone who fits. There’s a decent chance you’ll meet someone, but you’ll need to let go of old negativity and look at things with fresh eyes. The second half of the spread feels like a nudge to learn from past relationships and do some inner work before chasing “the one.”
The 5 of Swords isn’t as doom-and-gloom as it’s often made out to be. It’s more a heads-up to watch for self-sabotage and miscommunication, especially if you’re still guarded from past hurts.
Maybe the reader misread something or got a bit dramatic. If the main theme was love, the cards do connect even if they were exaggerated. Just my two cents.
