The reading:
In the past, you started out on shaky ground (5 of diamonds) which caused some worry and apprehension (9 of Spades). However, you received assistance from a person who added greater stability to your business. This person may be described as having a desire to acquire but lacking the perseverance to succeed. This is a hardworking but possibly stubborn person who has a desire for a safe and predictable environment (Jack of Diamonds facing 6 of Hearts). This connection led to reaching a milestone with your business. You may have reached a plateau where you felt like you could press on to accomplish greater things. That phase resulted in lots of group harmony, perhaps through teamwork, connecting with other people who shared your interests or reaching a wider audience.
Is there a three-sided issue involved here, because several cards imply that not just two people but three people (including you) are involved in your concerns. For example, the two Queens surrounding the 10 of Diamonds, suggests that two women may play an important role regarding your business. These two Queens may also suggest choosing between two different approches. The Queen of Spades doesn't mind going it alone; she seeks independence and has high standards for quality. The Queen of Clubs is interested in maintaining social contacts and she seeks status and admiration from others. The 3 of Spades seems to echo your current partnership separation. This card shows freeing yourself from dependencies and self-destructive patterns. This separation will bring greater security, particularly on a financial level, and you will feel more in control of your business environment. However, you may also run into restrictions and limitations in the near future. This restriction may also be connected to someone who is acting against your best interests or operating in a deceitful manner, so you should be careful of other people's motivations during this time.
The future begins with a major decision (King of Spades)about taking the business to a new level that might require you to start over in a new level of experience. The King of Spades may also suggest an authority figure who is worldly and powerful who may impact your progress and success. This period may produce waiting and a sense of conflict between staying where you are vs. venturing into unknown territory (2 of Clubs). The 9 of Clubs and 4 of Spades suggests eventual weariness and fatigue leading to a period of retreat and a need to rest and recuperate your strength and energy. Another man may play significant role here. He may be a mediator, doctor, a helpful friend or someone with whom you have an emotional connection. The final card of the reading represents your partner, suggesting he or she may not be completely out of the picture.
Here's the timing of this situation. The 3 of Spades relates to your present situation and I think the Jack of Diamonds represents the beginning of your partnership. Therefore, the time period between these two events is the same time period between the present and the 9 of Clubs influence.
