Dear Velvet Angel,
Am I just spinning my wheels with Andy, or is it possible for something to come of this?  The situation seems to be going nowhere right now.

Thank you,
Frustrated

Dear Frustrated,

This seems to be a time of "juggling" for you and Andy both right now.  The Two of Pentacles suggests that there are some rather hectic schedules and situations that make it hard for him to "squeeze" time in so that things will actually start moving on a more progressive level.  However, once you and Andy do manage to get together again -- even though this may take some considerable adjustments to accomplish that -- it seems that it will be worth it.  Passion will likely be rekindled again between the two of you.  Andy may also reveal more of his feelings to you the next time you and he are able to get together.

There seems to be some considerable stress surrounding things right now, but nothing that cannot be overcome.  This is a time where you need to be flexible, because this guy seems really important to you.  With the Two of Pentacles, his main focus right now is on the practical concerns of his life -- and those hectic schedules I mentioned as well.  All of this is simply not leaving him a lot of room presently to think seriously about where things will go.  However, everything has a way of working itself out in due time . . . and once he works through his own life muddles, then I think a lot of this tension will start diminishing for both of you.

I definitely don't see this as a situation of "spinning your wheels," but under the energy of the Two of Pentacles, it can definitely feel that way at times!!  You may soon see some "breathing room" in this situation that has you so concerned.  It's a matter of coping for now and just getting through this phase of what can sometimes seem like chaos where you have so much coming at you at one time.  Both you and Andy seem to be experiencing that sort of turmoil, so I can see how other life situations are influencing things between the two of you.  This does not mean that Andy thinks less of you, but I can see his concern to tend to practical details in his life right now.

The Two of Pentacles shows that Andy is a guy who believes in keeping his commitments, so although he hasn't given you any kind of real commitment at this time in terms of where things may go . . . you can bet that when he does, he will mean it.  Andy seems to be going through some various adjustments in life right now, so for him, life seems to be a matter of "taking care of business" in a way that can become routine and hum-drum . . . but things he must do nevertheless.  Andy can't seem to reach his "comfort zone" until he is sure he has handled his responsibilities properly.  But once he has done that, he will be ready to have some fun and allow something new in his life -- such as a relationship that is more serious than what you have with him now.

I think that your next get together with Andy will be a productive one with quality time shared.  So no . . . even though this energy can make you feel that you are going in circles, ultimately you will see that it's not truly a case of just hopelessly "spinning your wheels."  Be patient, and allow things to progress in their own time.  You may see him soon, which would be a positive factor in things :-)

Love and Blessings!
