Poor Prince Harry, his exploits have been a source of fascination for the tabloids for a while now.  From the time he was 17 and admitted to smoking marijuana and drinking to wearing a Nazi uniform to a costume party, the man 3rd in line to the throne, and lovingly  referred to as Prince Hot Ginge,  has been more famous for his mistakes than his royal good deeds.

And then we come to the more recent Las Vegas Naked Party.  Oh Harry.   Sure, I’ll bet there are quite a few people having naked pool table parties in Las Vegas suites; its where people feel that what happens there, well, its supposed to stay there!  And one would think being royal and all, there might be a way to prevent the world seeing all that nekkidness. (Hello, Royal Security Guards people, where were you?) After all, the Queen can’t be too happy knowing that an heir,  a possible future king of England was so…exposed (thanks TMZ).  But what’s done is done.  And Harry looked like he was having lots of fun. 

So what’s next for him?  For my topic of  Pop Culture Wednesdays, I have picked cards for his current situation and outlook. The Hierophant in the situational position shows that he is coming from a place where traditions and values are incredibly important.  With the Fool reversed crossing,  its shows that he has a tendency to go against that tradition by making decisions that are not always well thought out.  He might even be subconsciously doing an “f-u” to his restrictions.   The Judgement reversed in the recent past tells us that he may not  be ready to fully accept the responsibility of his “position” in society.  Again he has made some poor decisions as many others his age do, but because he is famous and the power of social media, his missteps are easily revealed, as shown with the Star reversed.  The Star reversed also tells us that he’s feeling vulnerable and feeling the pain of his “punishment” for his mistakes.  But the Sun below tells us that most people generally don’t think of this incident as a big deal,  they see Harry as a young man who has a fun loving spirit.  This incident has not really tainted how the world sees him as there was never really big expectations placed on him, unlike big brother Prince William.  The Temperance tells us that it would be best that PHG stay low for a while and show moderation and restraint.  With the Lovers reversed coming up in his future though, it seems that his next challenges will be about choosing to stay a bachelor or being in a committed relationship.  He won’t stay out of the tabloids for long.

In the last few weeks I’ve been asked to a lot of relationship readings.  I don’t know if its that Mercury  is in retrograde or that the hot weather is making people cranky and impatient but couples all over are having some major challenges.   I’ve seen misunderstandings lead to huge fights (Wheel of Fortune reversed), “boredom” to possible infidelity (Lovers reversed) and a lack of feeling loved (Empress reversed) lead to requesting separation (World reversed).   Otherwise “happy” couples have been antsy to see me to help prevent impending break ups  (or to help navigate the next steps after one).

One of the ways I get insight to what’s going on is through an 8 Card Relationship reading.  Want to see how it works?  For fun,  I’ll use a well known couple to show you.  You don’t have to be a tabloid junkie to know about the recent controversy involving the  young lovers, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (lovingly called Robsten by Twi-hards everywhere).  She cheated with her older, married director – he left their love nest.

Here are the cards I chose for them and what they mean:

The Lovers reversed in the middle left represents K’s (for Kristen) situational which shows she was unfaithful and now dealing with the repercussions of the affair .  Lovers reversed not only stands for cheating or open relationship but can also mean an unbalanced dynamic in a relationship.  In this case, it would be both as it shows that she also had more “power” over R (Robert).   The Star reversed for R’s side  shows he’s in pain and very vulnerable.  The cards show that R is a very sensitive person and this betrayal has cut deep.   The Moon reversed between them shows that all the facts have not been told.  The Moon reversed stand for disappointment and disillusionment as well as lies.  The Tower reversed above her side tells us that the cheating had probably been going on longer than a one time situation as the relationship was being destroyed over a longer period time than just this time they were caught.  Hermit for him means he wants time along to think about what to do next.  High Priestess reversed tells us that she is spinning now and trying to figure out what she can do to get him back .   The Chariot reversed on his side shows that he is back and forth in his feelings and has not made a decision about the relationship.  This is not a black and white situation for him.  While he is angry and hurt he still has love for her.   Temperance between them shows us patience and time apart is needed right now.  If she can be honest and not push him into getting back together, they may find a way to work this out.
