Three of Wands

In this card we see a person looking at the world from a high place, surveying the landscape.  Behind him are two Wands planted in the ground, which are symbolic of a doorway.  The ships in the water are symbolic of thoughts going through the mind.

This person is envisioning the future and all it's possibilities, he's planning and looking to exploit and enhance things that occur naturally or finding places that could pose obstacles and taking a mental notes.

This card reminds us that sometimes we need to take time out and pause, plan for the future, explore new possibilities for family, career, even vacation.  Be mindful not to rush through this thought process - while the ships may be on the surface of the water, below the water is a whole new world of possibilities - meditate and perhaps journal your thoughts.

The Tower

One of the cards in the Tarot deck that strikes fear into the hearts of quarents when this appears in the reading.  The Tower looks ominous, terrifying, as lightening has struck the tower causing it to catch fire and it's occupants have taken flight as they have jumped and are in free-fall in the air.

Really, there is nothing to fear here at all, it is a cautionary card meaning that possible sudden change could be coming quickly. The seat of control and power may shift suddenly and without warning.  Perhaps people we were depending on suddenly cannot fulfill on their intentions.


On the other hand, perhaps the old management will quickly be ushered out and replaced with someone who has great people skills, perhaps co-workers who are a thorn in your side will suddenly move on to new opportunities, or perhaps you will receive a new job or promotion - or unexpected money will arrive!

9 of Cups

The Nine of Cups shows us a person sitting in front of a display of  Cups, he seems to be proud of his accomplishments and saying, "look what I achieved!"

Setting goals and executing a plan is rewarding, however, be careful not to become arrogant or "big headed" - be a light and inspiration to others so that they too can see the possibilities of achievement in their situation.

Two of Swords, reversed

The Two of Swords shows a woman blindfolded, sitting on a bench with swords balanced on her shoulders.  The Moon is in the sky above her right shoulder.  Balance, affection, courage come to mind.

However, in the reversed position, this card signifies stalemate, disloyalty, or lies.  When we find ourselves in this situation, we need to step back and try to access the situation.  The Moon reminds us to use our intuition - usually the first instinct is usually correct.  Be bold and call out things that are untrue, unfair, or morally wrong.

The Emperor

The Emperor sits on his throne watching and sizing up all that is going on.  He's watching, he's waiting, he's ready for battle - if the situation is worthy of a fight, but he's also approachable as symbolized by the soft, red garment.

He's passionate about his beliefs and he has years of experience full of triumph - he's solid, like the mountain range behind him.  He's unmovable and secure in his place.

The Emperor reminds us that while we need to be ready for a fight, we also need to pick our battles and let the little stuff go.  Be steady in our beliefs but also be open to new ideas and avoid becoming set in our ways.

The Lovers

The Lovers shows us that to have a complete, trusting relationship we must bear our souls to one another - no secrets can exist.

We see that the woman is looking to the heavens, behind her is a tree of life of sorts that is fruitful, however on the tree there's the snake attempting to whisper "sweet nothings" of deception into her left ear.

The man is looking at the woman.  In previous readings I've only seen the man look at the woman and ignoring the words from heavens as he burned with desire, as signified by the burning tree behind him.  However, today I see the man looking at the snake, watching it's every move while listening to the words coming from the heaven.  The man is the woman's protector, she's the apple of his eye, with arms waiting to receive her.

Nothing is between these two individuals, as it should be.  This is a reminder that we should keep no secrets in our relationships, look and listen to the heavens for guidance, and watch out for one another.

Ace of Wands

New beginnings, new inspiration, and creativity.  The blank canvas is ready for new ideas to take shape.  This is also a time of new beginnings as the sky is the limit - growth, freedom, lack of boundaries.  You have the Midas touch - go for it, don't put off that what you've been wishing to try.  Believe and receive!
