King/swords; Queen/pentacles/; 9/cups (R)
Well there's a lot going on here, and it's dripping with innuendo. Intriguing. First, this King is so close to getting his wish he can probably smell it. However, hold that thought, wait just one minute. There's actually something standing between this King and his desired wish, and that's a woman, his woman, or a woman that's part of his daily life. It must be very frustrating for him, and he must be having quite a time maintaining a cool exterior, because this Queen is just not going to move, or at least she's not going to move willingly. She may be oblivious to this situation, and then again, she might know exactly what she's doing.
We need some more cards for this, it's just too intriguing not to go further.
6/cups; Knight/wands; Temperance
Whatever this King's wish is, it's connected to his past, or a particular person or set of circumstances from his past, and this connection was filled with some mind-blowing passion and frenzied activity, and a little bit of mania and impulsiveness. This was also something that this King was just absolutely sure was his dream, or his soul mate, or his idea of perfection, or his greatest ever desire -- greatest ever.
More cards coming up...
2/pentacles (R); 5/wands; 10/swords
The particular "thing" from this King's past that he was so enthusiastic about tripped him up, took his world by storm, and upended many aspects of his life, including a lot of what he had been working towards. This parricular "thing" from this King's past that he thinks he desires once again led to an enormous amount of chaos and arguements and separations from various relationships, and people taking sides, and everything being messed up and so many people's lives in a turmoil -- yes, so many people, not just this King.
In the end, he shot himself in the foot. He shot himself in the foot with impulsivines, short-sightedness, and immaturity. He shot himself in the foot with a narrow view of reality; he shot himself in the foot with an almost narcissistic focus on himself and what he wanted.
And the thing is, in spite of everthing, he once more desires this "thing" from his past, and he will once more create the same kind of chaos with the same miserable and predictable outcome.
Some people never learn.
