3 Cards with ME!! - It's TIME TO BURY THE BISON

Reading Overview

Steve’s three-card reading centers on someone connected to the viewer who, in his interpretation, is clinging to a relationship or situation that has been over for a long time. The Seven of Swords crossed by the Fool suggests moving forward on a “convenient truth,” while the Ten of Swords and repeated Four of Pentacles point to something past its expiration date that the person is afraid to release.

Key Metaphor

The reading’s recurring metaphor is that it’s time to “bury the bison.” The person keeps digging up a dead situation and trying to revive it, only for it to fall apart again.

Steve jokes that the viewer is a “new hamster” offering a fresh start. Later, he imagines tying strings to the bison to make it move like a marionette. He also detours into practical advice about removing a sticky bandage from hairy skin with rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip.

Hopeful Turn and Advice

The cards suggest the person may finally be ready to leave the old situation and explore their feelings for the viewer. Steve cautions that the viewer may be understandably wary—perhaps this person has “cried wolf” before—and encourages them to stay open-hearted without abandoning their independence.

Scope and Personalities

Steve says the reading feels especially like a dramatic “Leo soap opera,” though it could also apply to friendships, family, or other long-stalled situations. He presents it as a general reading, not a certainty.
