What I'm sensing when I tune into his energy around this is something really tender underneath. There's this quiet excitement he hasn't fully admitted even to himself. Part of him wants to say yes before he even thinks about it — the cabin, just the two of you, that slower pace. But I'm also picking up a bit of tension in his chest, like he's carrying some weight about the week leading up to it, and he's not sure he'll fully arrive mentally by Saturday. The feeling I got was this: part of him almost forgot how much he needs exactly this. Time away from everything. Time with you. There's no resistance toward you — it's more that he's been so in his own head lately that he hasn't let himself want it out loud. But the energy brightens the moment I focus on the cabin. That's meaningful. What I'm seeing is that if you bring it up gently, you'll feel the shift in him almost immediately. He wants to go. He just needs permission to admit how much.

The energy I'm picking up is a little layered. What's coming through is that he does want to be with you — but there's something unspoken between you that's creating a quiet tension. The past shows the Eight of Swords — you two have been navigating a period where one or both of you felt stuck, restricted, or emotionally distant. That's still sitting in the background. In the present, the Two of Cups reversed suggests the emotional connection isn't flowing as naturally as it could. He may be carrying some internal weight, or there's an expectation hanging over the weekend that neither of you is fully naming. The reversed Nine of Cups as the near outcome tells me the weekend could feel slightly off if nothing shifts — not bad, but not the easy, wishes-come-true escape you're hoping for. The cabin itself isn't the issue; it's the quiet thing that hasn't been said. I'd suggest a gentle check-in before you go. Not a big talk — just "I'm looking forward to time with you, just us" and see how he responds. His reaction will tell you everything. The pull *to* be together is there. But clearing whatever's in the air first will make all the difference.

What the cards are showing me here is interesting. The Six of Swords in the past position tells me you two have been moving through something together, some transition or rough patch that you've both been navigating quietly, and there's a sense of reaching calmer waters. That cabin represents that peace, that getaway from everything. The Knight of Swords in the present is your husband right now. He's in a very headspace-focused energy, thinking things through, being direct, maybe a bit rushed or internally preoccupied. He's processing something mentally, and the Knight doesn't always slow down to check in on the emotional temperature. His desire to go may feel more like "I need a break, let's do this" than a deep romantic pull toward a slow, connected weekend. And the Ace of Wands reversed in the future position is the note of caution here. The spark or enthusiasm for this particular plan feels muted on his end. Not that he doesn't want to be with you, but the energy around the cabin weekend specifically might feel a bit like an obligation or something he hasn't fully leaned into yet. I'd suggest checking in with him gently. Ask what he actually wants to do for his birthday. The Knight of Swords responds well to straightforward questions. He may want the weekend with you but not the same expectations you're carrying. Give him room to tell you what that looks like to him.

Working sixty hours a week just to keep up with the steep costs of your first home after twenty years of renting is a heavy, grinding load, and it makes complete sense that you are already stretched to your limit. Adding weekend work right now would likely lead to burnout rather than relief. Buying a property is a massive milestone, but the first year is notorious for hidden expenses and compounding bills that catch you off guard. On the question of asking for a raise, if your performance warrants it and you have not had an adjustment reflecting your current responsibilities, approaching your employer is worth considering. However, do not treat a raise as your only escape hatch. Right now, what needs to shift is not just your income, but the breathing room in your monthly overhead. Look closely at those tripled bills and see where small trims can happen without breaking your spirit, because toughing this out purely through exhaustion is not a sustainable path.

There is a temptation to look for grand, cosmic explanations when our daily routine becomes completely consuming, especially when working sixty hours a week leaves no room for anything else. But what feels like a spiritual echo or a past-life battlefield is often much closer to home: a quiet belief that we must carry everything ourselves to prove we belong. Working yourself to the bone does not mean you were chosen for unending sacrifice in another era. It usually means you have quietly accepted a standard of endurance where rest feels unsafe and stopping feels like failure. You are not paying a karmic debt on a clock-in sheet. The battle you are fighting right now isn't left over from history—it is the exhausting weight of a life where your own boundaries were left behind.

Can you tell me about my past life and my soulmate connection?

When looking into the quiet background of your mind, what came through first was a sense of standing before a large, heavy door in an old stone building, where books were kept by candlelight. It seems that the heavy focus you carry toward philosophy and the written word isn't something that started in recent years, but rather a continuation of an old habit, almost as if part of you spent decades in solitude trying to translate human suffering into sentences. That strong pull you feel toward someone you call a soulmate often arises from that same quiet place inside. When someone lives largely in their own thoughts for a long time, meeting another person who seems to recognize the silence beneath your words can feel less like a new encounter and more like a door finally opening in a room you thought you had to inhabit entirely alone.
