Sorry it took so long. x_x I had to run and do rounds in the middle of it.
So here's what I've got. Let me know if it makes sense, or if you want clarification on anything. D:
"This spread responds to the question about which attitude to take regarding a situation. More specifically, the guiding question to be asked when using this spread is: How should I behave in order to enter this desirable situation? Or, how should I behave to exit this burdensome situation?"
1 - The question's topic. The problem at heart.
7 of Chalices
This card speaks of illusions we've placed ourselves in. The best way to think about this in terms of your question, is to take a look at what is real. Right now, you are looking to an illusion for comfort. You may not even be aware of it. But which aspect is the illusion?
2 - The past. How past events affect, even unconsciously, current decisions that we believe we are making autonomously.
4 of Wands
This card says that you have enjoyed the fruits of your labor to this point. Good friends, good funds, your work has led you to a good place, and you have been happy with this.
3 - The present. The forces that are driving current events.
4 of Pentacles
Now, however, you've moved into a state where what you do, you no longer do it for yourself, but rather, for the approval of others. This has perhaps led you to enjoy life less.
4 - The future. A possible road that we might try to reach.
8 of Wands
The recommendation here is to be spontaneous. Don't worry about what others say or think, and don't worry too much about planning hardcore. Spontaneity, trusting your gut, will help you make a decision here. It seems difficult, probably because you're thinking too hard about it.
6, 8 - The light. The rational part. Everything that is well visible and which we are aware of.
Knave of Swords 9 of Pentacles
The Knave marks you as an observer, intelligent, discrete, and when you want, clever and vindictive. This, you know about yourself, and likely those who know you also know this about you.
The nine says that you are also creative, but cautious (to an extent) as well.
Together, whatever you are planning, you have planned well. Whatever you will plan, it will be unexpected, but it will not affect you negatively, because you take such caution, because you have taken the time to observe the situation.
5, 7 - The shadow. The unconscious part. What is not known but affects our decisions.
IX The Hermit Knight of Pentacles
The hermit is a card that speaks of introversion, seeking answers within oneself. Perhaps you have not considered looking inward for the answer, or perhaps others do not realize that is what you are doing. Hell, perhaps you yourself don't realize that is what you are doing. In the end, you need to listen to yourself, do what your gut says is right.
The Knight says that you have planned carefully, but generously. You have thought out your moves to this point. Perhaps you were expecting to be in this situation without realizing it. You have more available to you than you realize though, because you've planned, so don't fret.
Together, perhaps you are unaware of the need to plan things silently, plan things yourself, rather than relying on others to help you out. As mentioned above, you are clever, and you are careful in your own planning, so perhaps taking time to yourself will help you better prepare for your next move.
9 - Hopes and fears. The moment before crossing the threshold.
Ace of Chalices
Pentacles speak of money, and the aces are the very root of the suits. Money is your biggest worry right now, whether for fear of needs or wants.
10 - The solution. The key for entering or exiting the situation.
7 of Pentacles
The big picture: You have to realize that forcing yourself down one path, and solely committing yourself to that one path, can lead you to impatience, especially if there are obstacles in your way. Don't lose sight of your final destination, but don't be afraid to open yourself up to other possibilities.
Break out of the illusion that there is only one path you are meant to follow, and don't be afraid to step onto the grass alongside the path and wander off a bit. Money problems worry you, as they should, but don't let that keep you stuck where you are. Forge ahead, keep moving. You may find, in the end, doing so will get you closer to your goal than staying true to the path.
EDIT:
Looking back through this, you have more pentacles than anything else, so it seems the underlying issue has to do with money, as suggested by card nine. How interesting..
Just a random comment. xD
