HP; Nice to see you've played some cards!
The cards themselves are indifferent to personal issues. It is frustrating, I agree, because many times messages are personalized and or people try to interpret them for answers to their problems, issues and or beliefs. Make sure your self definition of indifference to this is not limiting though!
1 Seven of wands. Self-needs and the needs of others. Are you in defense of your beliefs on this? You may always be, but you have the upper hand due to your deconditioning so relax. (I wouldn't call it antithesis.)
2. The Emperor suggests domination and sits in the position of energy over you right now. Interesting that it's domination. A forced/paid result is never very useful or fulfilling. Keep this in mind as a constant reminder.
3. Three of hearts. Romantic love and violence. Patriarchy's paradox. Love and "power over" cannot exist. This card is in the position representing energy above you, out of your reach, a general influence. Clouds in your sky drifting by....
4. Three of Pentacles. I'm guessing you might be getting ready to market something? Some project you've been heartily committed to coming to fruition, getting praise, is there worry that the market will corrupt the integrity of your wares? The positioning of this card serves as encouragement to go ahead. Do it. The time is now to do something and have it well received.
5. The Hierophant is in the position of being behind you. One of the best positions for the Hierophant as it suggests some conditioned barrier that was deeply ingrained has been knocked down. A reduction in self captivity lesson. Congratulations.
6. The Queen of Pentacles. Positioned in the "now" or "soon to come" position, the Empress of the Lower Arcana. Uniting body and spirit, less emphasis on one or the other as they no longer singly serve you as well.
7. Page of Swords, in this position indicates how you are feeling.
This particular page is a revolutionary. But, is he truly who he believes he is or have his beliefs alienated himself from who he really is?
8. The Hanged Man! (I often get this card in the 7th position.) In the 8th position it's more an indication of how others see you. The hanged man of course hangs in surrender to wisdom. The upside down perspective he has can produce intense relief. Others may be telling you not to take a risk right now.
9. The five of Cups in the paradox position. What you don't want yet you struggle with it intruding. Five of cups. Despair, i.e. focus on losses. Rather than focus on the two cups still left to fill. Despair can trip anyone up if they let it.
10. Your final card, outcome card, seven of Cups. This cards warns of the danger of becoming a self-styled guru. However, it also is the card of mystical experience, as Waite says about this card, an inspirational vision seen "in the glass of contemplation". This is a good time for making a right choice.
So i've thrown a few things down for you to ponder I hope. From my limited perspective of you I'd say that you are self migrating to a place somewhere beyond soldier and revolutionary but still held back by both mindsets to a degree, mostly out of wanting to get along with people.
Go for it man.
