Andre asks: My oldest son is fifteen, and has been acting out and disrupting the family. Is he on drugs?
Che’s answer: First of all, I don’t do psychic spying on people’s kids. What I can do is a tarot reading on you, and your relationship to your family and kids.
Ace of Cups and the Hierophant both indicate you are a loving dad, but with a lot of traditional values. There’s some idealism there that doesn’t quite match up to reality. You grew up with some firm ideas about how family life should be, and in the past you’ve been successful at imposing your ideals on your surroundings (Magician).
But now, that oldest boy is developing a mind and a life of his own. The deepest part of you feels this maturing as a loss (Death), perhaps a loss of innocence, a simpler time, but really its a transformation, a natural change that must occur sooner or later.
You also need to look at other contributing factors to the stress in your household, particularly financial strain (5 of Disks). You’re doing a lot of worrying, and this worry is spilling over into all aspects of your life, including your family life.
8 of Swords, reversed, as your cross-current indicates that your mind is blowing a lot of things out of proportion. You’re getting trapped in these negative fantasies and it’s becoming a cycle. There’s a lot of mental chatter in your head, and almost all of it is bad. Its time to step back, stop fantasizing about the worst that can happen and face what is.
The mental chatter is interfering with your emotional state, and your intuitive processes. Try listening to your heart for a while (the High Priestess). You have a fear of hearing the truth (Queen of Cups, reversed) and have grown distant from your feelings. Take the time you need for yourself; find ways of relieving stress and once you’ve had a breath or two, take a fresh look at yourself and your relationships with those around you.
