Four of Wands

This card shows us that recognition, achievement, or completion has occurred or will occur very soon.  Hard work, determination, the "don't quit" spirit has paid off.  However, when receiving accolades, don't forget to thank those who help you achieve your level of status - be there for them as they were for you.  Reciprocity makes the world go round and continues the blessing.

King of Swords

This card shows us a king with a sword in the right hand.  He appears to be studying or have focus on what's ahead of him.  He's even keeled, not easily excitable, patient, he's carefully watching how things will work out.  He has the power to make things happen when it's necessary.

So today, be patient with the situations you find yourself in, or with your relationships.  There may be things that are unclear that would cause you to want to out of fear and change course, or stop completely; but if you are patient you might find that the unconventional direction of the situation might just bring a pleasant surprise and be a bigger blessing than you envisioned.

Six of Swords

The Six of Swords tells is it's time to move forward, the past is the past.  There may be a feeling of loss or sadness, this is only temporary.  Look a head with expectation, it's time for a fresh start, a new life, a new vision, new opportunity.  Go, be free!

Five of Wands, reversed

The Five of Wands shows us a group of people fighting or struggling on a hill.  Turmoil, strife, struggle, anger, war-like all come to mind here.  Struggling for position, difficulty making an impact, crowded field are also other meanings.

The reverse position would indicate that the struggle or fight may be more noise than anything else.  Observe the situation and see if this is really something you need to become involved with.

Ten of Wands, reversed

The Ten of Wands shows us a person carrying a stack of wands towards a dwelling.  His head is towards the ground, he's focused on the job at hand and is laboring.

The reverse of this card would indicate that the struggle isn't as great as it seems.  Take pause, see how to make the load easier to carry - perhaps you don't have to carry it. Perhaps if you look at the situation you may determine the load isn't for you to carry at all.

Five of Pentacles, reversed

The Five of Pentacles shows us two people, struggling, beat up by life, but persevering through a show storm  They may look tired, beaten, and struggling, but they are moving forward.  There is a light of the stained glass is symbolic of faith in God, the creator and overseer.  God is always watching over us, in good times and in bad.

The reverse of the Five of Pentacles would indicate that times may be tough they are not as tough as they could be - this is a temporary situation. Keep focus, keep moving forward, trust in God and God will see you through to the other side.
