Lot 14: A Kite on a Summer Evening

Readings by situation

Single

A kite flies high because its string is both taut and slack, and the right person for you will give you that same feeling. You are about to meet someone who lets you comfortably be yourself, without straining or shrinking. That is the clearest sign of a good match.

Advice: When you meet someone new, notice whether you feel comfortable being yourself; that is the most important measure.

In a relationship

Your love is at its best when you stay connected while still giving each other some sky of your own. The lot reminds you that holding the string too tight keeps the kite from flying, and letting it too loose loses the kite. Trust and listening will help your love soar.

Advice: Each week, give each other some personal time to do what you enjoy without having to report back.

Secret crush

Love does not need many words, but it does need a string to stay connected. The lot shows your secret feelings have a chance, as long as you do not cling or try to control. Be a gentle presence and let that person see for themselves that you are a pleasant breeze.

Advice: Keep in touch at a moderate level, enough for that person to think of you without feeling pressured.

About an ex

Some kite strings snap because they were pulled too tight; others drift away because they were let too loose. If you are thinking of getting back together, ask whether you can keep the right tension this time. If you choose to let go, let the kite fly away with gratitude.

Advice: Look back on whether the old relationship ended from feeling smothered or too distant, and ask whether that has changed.

Marriage plans

This lot favors the marriages of people who respect each other's personal space. You trust each other enough to fly together without fear of drifting apart. As you move toward marriage, keep that balance so your home is both close and comfortable.

Advice: Before the wedding, agree on personal time, friendships, and how to share household chores.

AdviceHold the string just right, not too tight and not too loose.
