Back to Square One

The 4 of Diamonds is a troubling card. As with all of the 4's in this method of playing card reading, it brings distress. This particular one speaks of betrayal and lies, and suggests that someone is consciously slipping in the knife whilst my back is turned. It is the card of the cheat and indicates deceit. With the 2 of Clubs in tow, disappointment results.

As someone who likes to know where he stands, this kind of combination is not good for me. As today unfolded, I was yet to find out where deceit laid, but my first thought was that it has something to do with the bungalow saga. The 3 of Clubs lets us know that the betrayal in the 4 of Diamonds is on it's way and that I need to try my best to prepare for the disappointment. I wondered if the Queen of Spades from recent readings has ditched us for the other buyer or that information of another kind is being kept from me.

We eventually found out that our buyer could not get the money he wanted to buy our house, so we are now back to square one. Since his wife told our agent that they had arranged their mortage when they had not, I guess that it is their lies which have been told. Our sellers thought that this would be a swift operation, so went ahead and organised rented accommodation. They will not wait for us to look for a new buyer so their bungalow is no longer a posibility for us. It was difficult enough to sell before. So after losing £600 on this disappointing experience, we have to now contend with more potential buyer's dislike of the tree in our back garden again and must try to sell our house amongst the noise of our bastard neighbours. It would seem that the odds are stacked against us.
