Q: Is the Sussexes’ new house story true? How do they feel about moving from cottage in the city to cottage in the country? Did they want something bigger than that cottage?

Hi Anon, well it does indeed seem to be true. But I’ll keep this reading quite short, as I believe @talkingtarot will be holding the grand tea party later. 

How do PH/MM feel about moving to Frogmore Cottage? 

I don’t think the press statement was an exaggeration this time. They are pleased about the move – because they think they should be pleased – so they’re trying to be pleased, and perhaps they’re not entirely pleased, but they’re trying very hard to overcome that. 

So…now what?

MM just feels trapped and has given up trying altogether (Eight of Swords Rx). Nothing seems to be moving the way that she thought it would, and there are a lot of repressed emotions (The Magician Rx, Ace of Cups Rx). The spark has died down and it’s just a matter of going through the motions, and accepting what you’re being given.

For PH, on the other hand, there’s a lot more optimism. A smaller/ish house in the country, away from the madness of the city – this is great! Let’s have our child here and build a happy home (Four of Wands). He’s happy to retreat to a simpler lifestyle, because the wealthy lifestyle is beginning to feel like a trap (Ten of Pentacles Rx). But he is aware that there’s a growing discord in the relationship as far as being on the same page with this, and he’s waving the flag of enthusiasm on his own (The Lovers Rx).

Overall, they feel like it should be a good next step in their married life (The World), but this is not exactly what they had in mind (The Moon Rx). 

They do feel a little bit like they’ve been banished (The Hanged Man Rx), and suddenly all of their plans for the future have taken on a different form (Ace of Wands Rx, Page of Cups Rx).
