Hi Professor,
I would echo what Smiley said here but I'll add a few comments. First off, I agree that you shouldn't hold to the prediction-it has a good shot of passing but years and years down the line, and there is a chance , as Maggs's post exemplifies, it pertains to a different poi.
This isn't the cliched focus on yourself or else the prediction won't move type of response but mainly that you'd just be frustrated by waiting and waiting.
Second, in terms of 1 to 10 confidence, I can tell you are an academic or were trained that way, and may even hail from a discipline close to mine. As you would know, these 10 level scales are subjective.. But I don't think it's the case that because this is a far off prediction , I'd drop down on this scale. It's more that, your subjective evaluation of it transpiring will slide down the scale as time wears on and on.
Third, I think when Yona says '18 months to 2 years' , she's getting the WoF in a certain location and she's sensing it to be far away.
I too have one major wonderful prediction she saw as far far off-can't even put a number on it. Reason this happened was that instead of holding the intention to go back over the cards to clarify some points, she thought ahead and cards 'time traveled' to a distant point of time. Let me tell you, this is the most important prediction in my life. I was overjoyed to hear it is 'in the cards ' for me. It is as far from romance as possible. I'd like to move, both location, and job-if you are an academic in the US,you'd know that these two things are likely to occur at thee same time. You'd only be able to change location for a new job and a new job is possibly in a random other state, or maybe in another country (ie: Canada). I am pointing to this example because I"d rate my confidence in this as a 9 out of 10. The reason is that she's never erred on career for me. More than that, I've counted at least a dozen if not more big and small, good and bad, career predictions she nailed. But it's far off, unfortunately. I'd be overjoyed if this happened in 2 years in the covid job market.
But I gotta say for myself, her love predictions never happen and for example, my confidence that I'd ever have 'passion' is near nil.
So I'd say , I'm the odd one out. You are likely to have many suitors, prospects for meeting people,if only to 'date' and have some fun.
Oh just saw your new post Professor, turns out we are peers. But I don't want to be flippant with the above comment and discard your experience. People are all different. I too have had only one significant relationship that failed when it became transatlantic and have been single since '15 and before that I'd had a handful of other minor 'relationships' , two good ones, and one terrible one. but I've been stuck on the app carousel since '14/15. So I also get the Hermit card, coupled with a bunch of random dudes she picks up on the apps,, and then the mysterious Cups, and always the Wands but it always gives the Hermit.
You are waiting for true love and otherwise are OK with being single.
I'm ok with meeting people off the apps but don't feel the spark and unless I do, I'm OK with being single and all for all of my life. But it helps that I didn't want a family -and interesting to note, Yona is the *only* reader who picked up on this on the first read, shown as Empress crossing and flat out told me I don't want kids and they are not in my cards.
