The meaning is as follows. Normally i do not do reversals.
Ist card (Present Position)
5 of cups reversed
5 of cups is disappointment, however if it is reversed the meaning is blunted somewhat and may mean that the person has learned to live with disappointment and is coping currently with the situation.
2nd card (Present expectation)
Nine of Swords
However, the nine of swords, lord of cruelty. means the querant is not really very happy with the relation, but does not have the courage to face up to the reality of the situation and remains unhappy within the heart.
3rd card (what is not expected)
Four of pentacles reversed
Money is one of the issues which is not expected in the relationship. the persons involved do not see the sense of material in this and would not want to see it. 4 of pentacle is power achieved. reversed refers to the complete opposite. Hence this would surface as the relationship progresses.
4th card (Immediate future)
Ten of Cups
Though the relationship seems bleak in the present, they feel emotionally satisfaction in the future.
5th card (Long term future)
Queen of Swords (reversed)
In the long run, the queen of sword is a lady of balance and a person of fairness. perhaps they would feel that one or the other party is no longer interested in the relationship and moves on.
