The Fool Tarot Card Meaning and Interpretation

Fool
Interpretation and Divination

The Fool loves new ideas and can be considered a genius. He's like the idiot savant who makes the best things
happen to him without planning or thinking things through. He is also an adventurous spirit. He loves the outdoors
and activities that give him a rush of adrenaline. He is not afraid to “let go” and take the plunge into new and
exciting ventures.
The Fool tells us to be content with who we are, just the way we are. The Fool person doesn't worry about what
other people think of him because those opinions of others don't matter. The Fool can be very productive in this
regard. He just does. He doesn't have time to think about all the "what ifs". In this way, the Fool is riding on
instinct. No one has told him about all the societal constraints that bind the average person to work, relationships,
and experiences. So he doesn't have to think things through, he just takes that leap of faith.
It represents children and teenagers or anyone starting a new journey. The Fool asks us, "What do you want to
be?" The answer is that you can be anyone and anything you want to be, you just have to believe it, go for it and
create it. Let nothing hold you back of your dreams and visions.
Most of the time this card represents the querent.
The Fool as a Person or Signifier
As a person the Fool is unpredictable, outgoing and loves nature. You can expect this type of person to suddenly
take off for a weekend retreat of snowboarding or mountain climbing. He might learn a new language in a new
country or be a dive instructor.
The Fool is an intelligent person, but whose intelligence is often so mind blowing that the average person can't
comprehend him. He might get the label as weird or worse be clinically labeled as having Asbergers or mild Autism.
He can be a mathematical genius, be able to fix a rubics cube and be able to easy learn programming languages.
The Fool is represented by super consciousness, so he is free to be whoever and whatever he wants. Because he
comes from everything and everyone. He is never ending and all pervasive.
The Fool person has a vivid imagination and is often a dreamer who can make his dreams come true.
The Fool is not a fashion forward person at all. They are typically rustic and can be "grungy". They like to be
natural and you'll see many Fool people with beards and unshaven legs (for women).
The Fool in Love
The Fool in love doesn't normally want to be tied down. He is a free spirit. If you get the Fool when asking about a
new love potential, the Fool is telling you that your love interest probably doesn't want to be in a relationship.
If you are already in a relationship, the Fool is asking you to let go and just be happy in the moment, day-to-day
with what you already have. Let go of whatever opinion you think someone else has about your relationship.
The Fool as a Feeling
If you are asking how your lover or potential lover feels about you, then the Fool may indicate that he feels new,
fresh and carefree about you. His (or her) feelings may only be fleeting though.
The Fool as an Action or Advice
The Fool is telling you to jump in. Do not over think the situation. Just do it!
The Fool might also be advising you that you need to rethink an old way of thinking about something and restart
again completely new. Be that someone that you want to be.
The Fool as an Obstacle
Reckless behavior and a nonchalant attitude could be an obstacle that is crossing you at this time. It maybe
important for you to look around and observe the details because the fool is not a detail oriented card. A failure to
observe maybe an obstacle.
The Fool as an Outcome
As an outcome to a romantic reading, the fool could indicate that you will start all over again with someone new.
This new person could be younger than you. You maybe taking a trip together or he maybe foreign. It will be with
someone you don't expect to be involved with or it will come suddenly without expectations. You'll see someone
~1~
from a different perspective. If there is a societal block such as age or culture, the two of you will ignore them
and bond through the powers of the super consciousness.
The Fool in Career
New beginnings! New business opportunities. New job proposals. Could truly indicate a move into a new business or
job venture. The fool indicates jobs as an adventurer, explorer, travel writer, farmer, mountain climber, skydiver,
computer programmer or developer, or creative thinker. Look for jobs that require you to think out-side-the-box. I
usually feel that this is a good card for new career moves.
Over a life time the Fool can have many jobs. He is the jack-of-all trades and can do most things he sets his mind
too.
The Fool in Finances
When it comes to finances, the Fool can be reckless. Sometimes he wins and sometimes he loses. It's not the best
card to get if you are asking if you are going to do well in the stock market.
He is very altruistic when it comes to money matters. You might see him giving away his last dollar to help someone
else. He does this because money isn't very important to the Fool. He lives in the moment.
The Fool understands that once his basic needs are met financially, that he can focus on his spirit. He realizes
that money does not buy happiness.
The Fool in Health
The Fool in a health reading is favorable, for it suggest that the querent can mentally heal themselves using the
Law of Attraction and positive affirmation.
Must be careful of any illness that is related to mental disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and
schizophrenia. All these diseases are mental and can be undone through a balanced lifestyle and positive thinking.
(Easier said than done!)

The Fool Reversed
Even upright, the Fool warns that being too naïve will result in disaster. It’s like the young girl who runs away from
home at 16 only to find that she needed money and resources and that life was hard without her parent’s shelter.
Subsequently, she got into a lot of trouble. The Fool can have this meaning whether reversed or not, but when it’s
reversed we tend to see the querent falling over the cliff, while upright the warning is enough to possibly warn the
querent. Reversed Fool can indicate mental illness, folly, mania, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
This card can also represent mental instability and foolish behavior. We have to guard against reckless behavior
when the Fool comes up, especially when reversed or ill-dignified.

The Magician
Everything is at your disposal right now. You have the power to be or create anything you want from reality. The
divine spark is inside of you and is ready to be utilized. You have everything that you need to be successful. You will
complete projects that you start. New business contacts and new ideas may come into your life. Your willpower is
strong right now as the divine elements guide you to develop your abilities. You will win. You will succeed. You are
the epitome of success. You have the fire and now you can spread it. Watch it burn and manifest itself in the
physical world. You have the connection between heaven and earth. You have mastery over the four elements: air,
fire, earth, and water. You can use either or all of them. The choice is yours. You understand what element to use
for each situation. Once you understand the basic principle of the Magician, you understand that everything that
you think or actively visualize through concentration is yours. We are creators of our own universe.
The Magician can also symbolize meeting someone who is involved in the occult. He could be a great psychic or
tarot card reader. He has the magic to start projects and connect you to the divine. He could be someone new that
can help you develop your psychic ability. Whoever he represents is most likely a new person in your life. The
Magician often represents a real person, usually a man.
Magician as a Person (Signifier)
The Magician is usually a man who is a bachelor. They may not have ever been married or marry much later in life.
A person who has the qualities of the Magician are dynamic, powerful and magnetic. There is a high possibility that
this person is involved in the occult and they have probably been involved in it for sometime. They really are the
magician or a sorcerer. This type of work comes easily for them because they have been involved in several past
lifetimes.
~3~
The Magician is the group leader who has the experience to lead people in the right direction. They are an astute
individual who can see into the depths of others. This individual is in complete control of everything around them.
They can probably just give someone a look or touch a relay a powerful message.
As a signifier, the Magician is someone who is able to create all they desire. They are on a quest to help humanity
through little means and have a deeply spiritual calling. They were probably very mature as children as they knew
what they needed to go on earth even as a small child.
As an independent leader, they probably run a business or are in a position of leadership. The business does not
have to be a large corporation (the Emperor would be better suited to run a large corporation), but the business is
probably one that involves some aspect of the occult. They could own a small shop with unique handcrafted gifts,
jewelry design, incense, original books, florist, hypnotist, or even antiques. They have a strong love of learning,
reading and are quick.
This person is drawn to gemstones, flower, herbs, natural healing methods, alchemy and spend time alone in
meditation. They would probably rather prefer to live in the country side than in the city.
If you want to date the Magician, be prepared for the "unconfirmed bachelor." You'll either need to embody the
High Priestess to catch his attention or embody the Hermit. This is not someone who easily slides in and out of
relationships. Remember this person has a higher calling in life and is on a spiritual quest to fulfill it. They are
looking for a partner they can learn from and who can learn from them. They need a partner with a strong
intellectual capacity to further the growth of their soul and the soul of their partner.
Concentration is important to the Magician type. I know a Magician type and I swear his favorite word is
"concentration," which he uses as a catch-all for meditation/rituals/magic. But the ability to concentration on their
goals and to cultivate and create them is extremely important to the Magician.
On a negative side, this type of person can be a little to brash and bold with their words resulting in alienating
people. Because of the high intellect in the Magician type of person, they tend to analyze and cut right to the point
immediately. They don't like being "one-upped." If they are mature enough and aligned with their soul goals, they
will find a way to be witty and use humor as a way of pointing out the negatives that he (she) finds in situations. In
fact, they may have a great sense of humor that can light a heavy mood in group situations.
There maybe a tendency to be a little too egotistical this would fall under an "immature" Magician type either
reversed or ill-dignified by the surrounding cards.
The Magician in Love
Unless the Magician is reversed, this is a very good sign for romance. It usually indicates that you will meet
someone new. It could also represent a karmic connection to someone new. Cards such as the Lovers, Wheel of
Fortune or 6 of Cups could reaffirm this.
If you are already in a relationship it could indicate that someone else will come into your life (other cards will
highlight this such as the Knight of Cups or Ace of Cups) or your relationship will find a mental spark that will
elevate the relationship to a more spiritual and exciting level.
The Magician as Feelings
You are feeling very alive right now. Everything has an energetic spark that is truly motivating. If you are asking
how a romantic interest feels about you, then they feel like you are interesting, exciting and a very positive force
in your life.
The Magician as Advice
The Magician advises you to go for it. Whatever it is that you are asking about, don't hesitate. It's in your reach.
You have the resources and power to get what you want. Think about which "tool" you want to use first. You will
find an avenue to get what you want out of the situation.
The Magician in a Career

The Magician rules mercury. Mercury rules communication and writing. He was the God that delivered messages.
Any career in the written word, such as literature is often highlighted.
~4~
This would be a great sign that a new and insightful business contact will come your way. It could also indicate that
a new idea will start to manifest itself. You will have the divine spark that ignites with potential. So use it! Any
professions in communication, writing, journalism, speech writing, inventions, or education are possible.
Tarot Magician Professions
Doctor. Occult. Magician. Botanist. Horticulturist. Nurse. Writer. Stage Performer. Salesman. Street Vendor.
Journalism. Speech Writing. Inventor. Educator. Mail Man. Delivery. Courier.
The Magician Reversed
The Reversed Magician an indicate a trickster, a con artist or gambler. He is a sweet talking man who can convince
anyone of anything including the panties off a nun. Be very careful when you see the Magician Reversed. This man
feels empowered through his orator skills and misuses them. He uses rhetoric like hyperbole and once he’s finished
speaking you are spinning!
The Reversed Magician feels his “divine spark” comes from him and not from above, thus being all about the ego.
He believes this about himself because he does not believe in God. He only believes in himself. Unlike the upright
Magician, who is empowered by the supreme creator, this reversed Magician indicates an atheist. In this instance,
not believing in God can create an inflated ego and it’s all about the self. Without faith people tend to live in the
now, the ego, the self because this person believes in only himself, the here, the now, which is a limiting dead end.
This limits him and creates an element of personal power for he feels his personal power comes directly from
himself. This creates a large ego, which drives him selfishly. He is not connected to the divine therefore he has no
gratitude.

woman.

start of a very deep connection.

 You maybe inspired to write and communicate through words. This combination also indicates some kind of
broker (Magician) who helps you decide between stocks, bonds, or real estate options.
The High Priestess

The High Priestess is the keeper of all knowledge that is hidden. It is esoteric knowledge. She is your intuition and
guide. She relates to the Hermit, and talks directly with the Queen of Cups. Her planet is the moon, but I’ve always
~5~
related Neptune to her. Neptune is the blue gas planet that a soul goes to receive psychic information and
knowledge. This Priestess is connected to Neptune. If you look closely you’ll see her trident.
She comes after the Magician, who has all the tool to succeed. The High Priestess has the answers, if you only
listen for them. She has ancient scrolls and when the fool asks for them she quietly and without words gives him
the information. She never hands them over to the fool. She gives them when he is ready. The information that she
has is beyond words. The High Priestess urges you to follow your intuition.
The High Priestess in Love
The High Priestess in love can represent an unattainable woman, after all, she's a representation of Diana, the
Virgin. She could possibly be a woman who you will have an affair with. It is possible that you may never know this
woman completely because she is bound to herself and to knowledge. Her twin flame inside of her burns eternally
and you can never truly possess her. If she represents a person, she is usually a woman.
The High Priestess is a woman that can stand on her own two feet. She is bound by no man. She has her choice of
men and will only be involved with one when she feels like it. She doesn’t feel obligated to get involved with a man if
she doesn’t want to. She is a woman who may not feel the pressure, need, or desire for a man.
High Priestess as Feelings
The High Priestess is all about feelings, for she governs all subconscious thoughts. Her feelings aren't moody or
unresolved. She knows exactly how she feelings and probably how you feel too. She may not reveal this to you. If
you are asking, "How does my love interest feel for me?" Then the High Priestess will answer you rhetorically, "You
already know. Just ask your dreams." There is a feeling of psychic connection, a feeling that you and the person
probably spent a lifetime together. There is a feeling of aloneness and a feeling that you would rather be alone, but
not lonely. She is never lonely.
High Priestess as Advice
The High Priestess advises you to keep to yourself. If you have secrets or someone has told you a secret, keep
this to yourself.
As advise the High Priestess also asks you to meditate for a while, pause and reflect.
The High Priestess as a Career
You may want to spend some more time thinking about what you want to do next. This is not a time to make any
sudden moves or changes. From a more person-to-person perspective, you may be interested in moving into the
realm of the occult or becoming a professional tarot reader, psychic or medium. Patience is illustrated. You’ll need
to be patient and wait for the answers to come to you.
High Priestess Professions
Medium. Psychic. Psychologist. Communications. Telephone company. Costume designer. Nun. Nurse. Secretary.
Accountant. Bookkeeper. Teacher. Historian, especially ancient. History Teacher. Serious Print Journalist.
The High Priestess Reversed
The High Priestess Reversed may cause your heart to break.
The High Priestess Reversed may indicate that you are not listening to your intuition. You need time to reflect and
listen to the wind and the moon. If the card represents a woman, which it normally does, she is a jealous woman
whose intuitive abilities are used like swords to hurt you. She conceals and lies. She may have a drug or alcohol
problem, sexual addictions and obsessions.

The Empress
She is the ultimate mother. She is kind, nurturing and loving. She is the place where all life comes from: babies,
butterflies, grasses, birds, anything that is of the Earth. She rules the Earth and all that the Earth encompasses in
the physical reality. She can nurture your ideas too.
People may start seeing you as beautiful and caring. They want to be around you and seek advice from you. The
Empress doesn’t hold secret knowledge. She wants her children, friends or subjects to grow and prosper. She is
prosperous herself. She is the embodiment of all the Queens.
~7~
The Empress keeps a garden and it grows fruitfully, abundantly, but it has a tendency to become overgrown. All
plants and animals love her because she is so nurturing, calm and patient. Children and animals know inherently that
she is full of love and they are drawn to her. If you have the Empress inside of you, children will always smile at you
and babies will stare. Anyone who is innocent and pure will be drawn to you. Cats may even jump into your arms.
Dogs will always run up to you. The Empress can telepathically communicate with animals.
The Empress gives life, but she doesn’t always have to give birth to children. She can give life to ideas, words,
businesses, or anything else that has the potential for growth.
She doesn’t rush. She knows that everything good in life needs time to cultivate. Babies, plants, flowers…Time is
on her side. Her garden is eternal.
But the Empress needs the structure of the Emperor. If left without an Emperor the Empress’s garden can
overflow and weeds will strangle the beautiful flowers. Fies and unruly insects will be drawn to the chaos. The
Empress has a hard time hurting anything. She is the type of woman who will let insects roam her kitchen because
she won’t kill them. She sees the beauty in weeds such as dandelions (Well, aren’t dandelions pretty!)
The Empress can also represent a woman who is highly sexual and sensual. She can also represent the bombshell or
trophy wife. She might love fashion and dressing up.
The Empress can indicate pregnancy, so if you don’t want to become pregnant, be careful.
Do you have a good relationship with your mother? Do you want to be a better mother? Or do you yearn to have a
family and become a stay-at-home mom? Are you feeling like a day at the spa? Do you love to bathe in luxurious
soaps and fragrances? Then this is your card!
The Empress in Love
Someone thinks you are beautiful! They are drawn to you like no other. You may nurture and dote on your lover or
husband (or vice versus). The Empress type is a good listener.
If you get the Empress when asking how your lover or potential lover feels about you, they definitely feel like
taking care of you, nurturing you, and romancing you.
The Empress bodes well in a love reading!
The Empress as Feelings
You maybe feeling very warm and nurturing. You feel beautiful or you feel that someone is beautiful. You feel
fertile, lush and warm. You may feel that now is the time to make your imaginative musing into reality, so you create
them all and nurture them into manifestation.
If you are asking about how someone feels about you, then they feel that you are warm, open, loving and kind. They
have kind feelings towards you and motherly feelings as well.
The Empress as Advice
The Empress advises you to use your creative intelligence to think about a situation. The Empress is the goddess
of creation and the only way to create something is to envision it first. For example, if you want a more organized
home you should create a visual imagine in your mind first. See the way you want everything to look before you
tackle the project. Or if you want more money in your life or to find the perfect mate, you must visualize it first.
This is the key to creating and manifesting what you want in life. See it first in your mind, impress it on your
consciousness until it becomes an inseparable part of your subconscious.
The Empress in a Career

Your business will grow and thrive if you are patient and thoughtful about it. This is a very good sign. Your business
is most likely at the beginning stages of development and now needs time to grow before it is developed. For
example, you could be developing a website right now, which isn’t ready to launch. You’ll need the patience to
develop it. Or you could be starting a program in school and you’ll need to keep working hard to finish.
The Empress Reversed
A bad mother who has let everything run over into a mess. She may either smother her children to death or baby
them so that they remain helpless. She may manipulate and be jealous. It indicates a mother whose intentions are
~8~
good, but the execution is poor. She maybe the mother who never allows anyone else to watch her children,
therefore neglecting her husband’s needs.

The Emperor
If you get the Emperor in a reading, it could mean that you need to exert self-control and discipline in all matters.
You may even meet a very successful, older business man who can help you build a business.
When you get the Emperor in a reading it can mean that you will come across an older man of authority. This could
be a father figure or a man of authority, such as a police officer or general in the military. This man will help you in
the areas of your life that need structure, discipline, and stability. You will learn a lot from this person.
The Emperor rules the element of fire. He is the action and spark that can ignite an idea. He is the business owner
who never loses his resolve. He speaks directly to all the Kings.
He needs the Empress to nurture, sooth, and love him. No one can rule alone. Where the Empress is the fertile,
loving, nurturing womb, the Emperor is the solid land, the building with a strong foundation, and the law and order
of the people.
The Emperor suggests that you have a good relationship with your father.
The Emperor in Love
You may meet an older man who is very helpful to you. It is possible to grow to love this man. He may remind you of
your father. The Emperor doesn't speak of undying love or passion. He usually wants an Empress type of female.
Someone who dresses up or is feminine in another aspect. Maybe she loves to have a garden and cook, since he loves
to eat and loves to walk among her garden. He needs a very feminine woman in his life because of his extreme
masculine energy.
~9~
In a relationship, the Emperor usually needs to be the boss of the situation. He will want to take control and you
may even have to be subjugated to him. He has very male oriented principles such as the female being submissive to
the male. He always thinks he knows what he's doing even when he doesn't. He usually doesn't let people into his
emotional side and when he doesn't get his way in love, he can be extremely aggressive. He may send flowers,
follower her on face book, or find different ways to infiltrate her life. He's the type that will call his wife five
times a day when she's way on a trip. He believes this is a devotion of love, but in reality, it's a controlling aspect
of being in an Emperor relationship.
The Emperor as Feelings
The Emperor isn't a feeling type of card. He's all about logic, control and that reasoning mind. If you get the
Emperor in the placement of, "How does my love interest feel about me", I would read it in two different ways
depending on the surrounding cards.
First, he may not feel anything. He is being rational about everything and doesn't have romantic feelings towards
you.
Second, he could feel the need to control you. He (or she) feels like they have all the power in the relationship and
can yield that power when they choose. He could easily feel like you complement him in some way as a trophy to his
already growing trophy of things.
Emperor as the Outcome (Love)
If you are a female seeking a male in a relationship, then the Emperor is a good card to get as the outcome card.
It speaks of building a family, stability and structure. This man wants to build a family with you. If you see
the Empress or Lovers card in the reading with the Emperor you have found the perfect love.
Depending on the surrounding cards, the Emperor will mean that the relationship will stay as it is. This can be a
good or bad thing. If there are lots of swords in the reading it can indicate its rather mental and far less full of
emotions. If you are asking about a love interest, rather than a standing relationship, your relationship will stay as
it is--a love interest. The Emperor doesn't change his mind often, so whatever he feels or thinks in the present
moment, is exactly how he will stay.
The Emperor in Career
Perhaps an older man will give you a loan or provide mentoring to you. Occupations that could be coming your way
are ones where you are the boss.
In a business, the Emperor is usually the one always calling shots. He can be so rigid that he never learns from his
mistakes even if they are plain as day. He wouldn't yield under pressure and can find ways to get his way no matter
what. Types of jobs that suit the Emperor archetype are any jobs where he takes the lead. He has to be the boss.
A self-employed business man. He can be very shrewd when it comes to business and if his business is failing he
either blames someone else or will do something underhanded such as creative accounting in order to show a profit
that doesn't exist in order to get prospective buyer. He may seem stoic and silent on the surface, but he's usually
observing everything, waiting for the right move.
The Emperor As Advice

The Emperor could indicate that you need to focus more on logic than emotions. You need to follow through and act
with resolve. Do what you say you’ll do. Make a to-do list and complete it. Don’t let your emotions run wild. There is
a time and place where the heart is necessary, but when the Emperor turns up in a reading, this is not the time to
brood over your heart matters. Use your head. Now is the time for logical, rational energy to manifest in your life.
The Emperor as an Action
The Emperor is going to do exactly what is was doing before. He is not going to change course. So if you are asking
what action your love interest will take and he hasn't been calling you, then the Emperor as an action will indicate
that he will continue to not call you.
The Emperor won't budge from his chair. He's made up his mind.
The Emperor Reversed
The Emperor can turn into a tyrannical, overly-aggressive man. He can be short-tempered and abrupt.

The Hierophant
He stands for group order and society. He can represent any group in society that feeds people social order. This
kind of order is needed in order for society to function. Whether or not it is functioning at its maximum capacity is
another question.
He stands for education, mentoring, and teachers. This person can initiate you into the group, whether it be a
softball team, a church, or a school. Team work is highlighted.
He is all about doing the “right thing.” The right thing is the thing that is the most common. This will feel natural
for many people because it’s a program that has been given to the majority of people through mass media, religious
institutes and parents and teachers.
The right thing or right voice can also be depicted as listening closely to the One Voice in our mind that comes
directly from the One Indivisible God. Astral chatter or "channeling" is not the One Voice. This One Voice doesn't
have a real voice. It's a feeling or a presence that speaks in telepathic communication to you. It does not make
~ 11 ~
promises of power or dominion over anyone else. Those voices are often confused for a divine voice. The Hierophant
is the go-to guy/card for listening, quietly in meditation to the "right" voice.
The Hierophant in Love
The Hierophant tells us to do what is told of you. The Hierophant is one the marriage cards, especially the card of
arranged marriage and marriages of conveniences. I’ve gotten this card in regard to marriage for individuals who
marry not because of true love, but because the individual feels pressure from the group to marry. You may feel
under pressure to marry because "everyone else is doing it." It’s the card of conventional marriage. Big weddings
can also be depicted (while Key 11, Justice, when referring to marriage, can indicate a marriage by the court or
Justice of the Peace).
The Hierophant can sometimes relate a marriage or relationship where one partner is significantly older than the
other person. This is especially true if the Emperor comes up along side the Hierophant.
Alongside the High Priestess, it can indicate a love that has telepathic communication. You know how and what each
other are thinking and feeling without having to use words.
The Hierophant is a deeper card than what appears on the surface. The Vau is the hook or nail that ties everything
together. It's the word "and". (You "and" me. ) So look more carefully at the picture. We see three characters. You
are you in that relationship?
The Hierophant for Feelings
If you are inquiring into a future lover or want to know what your love interest feels for you, the Hierophant can
sometimes lead to disappointment. It depends on the context of who you are asking about. If you are asking about a
relationship that you know cannot work within the realm of societal standards, then the relationship will not
flourish. For instance, if you are asking if your professor has feelings for you because you can feel the chemistry,
know that your professor most likely does have feelings for you, but will never act on them because he or she will
not break the societal rules of teachers dating students.
If you are asking about how your current partner feelings, know that they love you very deeply and it is a love that
cannot be unbroken. It is one that is bound by all that is material and all that is nonphysical, for they are really one
in the same.
The Hierophant as Advice
The Hierophant suggests meditation of some kind. You may need to meditate a situation and bring together two
opposites.
It also suggests that you meditate and listen to the One Voice for guidance. Only you can decide your own fate. As
my friend Les told me, "Everyone has a holy guardian angel, but it's the same holy guardian angel for everyone.
That's what the Hierophant is telling you. To listen quietly to your own true self or your own holy guardian angel.
The angel is here to help you."
The Hierophant can indicate schools, libraries and government offices and bureaus.
The Hierophant in Career

You might need training in another field in order to get the job you really wish. The Hierophant symbolizes
universities and colleges. You may consider going back to school or taking a few specialized classes. When the
Hierophant comes up in a career reading the advice maybe to get a mentor or a job in a large and established
corporation.
Maybe you've been thinking about going back to school and getting a Master's degree or doctorate. The
Hierophant would indicate that might want to consider another formal level or education.
Do you feel stuck in the same job while other's are promoted? Maybe you should take some developmental classes.
In a reading I did over seven years ago, the Hierophant kept coming up for a good friend. He didn't want to go back
to school and get a Master's degree and it wasn't necessary. He did end up taking programming courses and
computer related certificate courses. This gave him the education that he needed to promote his career.
Remember, it's what you do with the knowledge, not necessarily having the degree or certificate. "Knowledge is
Power."

Lovers
You have two choices. One just seemed to pop up out of nowhere. You are enamored by the other choice. You
thought you wanted to go down one direction, but then you came across another option. It could be a childhood
friend, a new love, an idea, an opportunity, but whatever it is you have another choice.
The Lovers is about falling in love, sexual attraction, and taking a relationship to another level. There could be a
tremendous amount of sexual attraction or a declaration of feelings, but first the right choice must be made. The
right choice is the soul mate. It is a much better choice. You are not just enamored with her/him, it is a destined
love and match made in heaven if only you could free yourself from the situation you are in currently. Make the
right decision. You will make the right decision. The querent almost always chooses the soulmate path. When the
querent doesn’t it will take time for things to snap back into place due to predestination. This is a card all about
predestination. Perhaps there is free will on earth, but you decided a certain path before you came to earth.
The lovers card comes after the ridged rules of the Emperor who dwells in the earthly plane and the Hierophant
who dwells in the realm of doctrine. But now you have to make a spiritual decision. One that is governed by the
stars, the moon and the laws of the spirit. These laws are not governed by the land, the earth or structure, but
your heart, the air, the spiritual realm. You have to make a choice and if you do not choice wisely it will be a
decision you will come to regret immensely and profoundly.
Lovers in Love
Here comes romance, passion, sex and feelings of true love! What you feel for your partner will transcend any
ordinary crush or infatuation. You and your partner are meant to be together.
Lovers as Feelings
If you are asking about how he or she feelings about you, then the Lovers is one of the best cards to get. They are
definitely thinking of you in a romantic way and feel deeply and intensely connected to you.
Lovers as an Obstacles
The Lovers card is assigned the Hebrew word for Sword (zain), which is another way of saying discernment. It is
only through proper discrimination that we can find the solution. As an obstacle, the Lovers card indicates that you
~ 13 ~
are not able to properly discriminate or differentiate the correct way of viewing the situation. Metaphorically, you
maybe seeing things only from Adam's perspective, as he only sees the woman and not the angel or perhaps you are
Eve, who can only see the Angel and not the man.
Lovers as an Outside or External Influence
Depending on the surrounding cards and the situation, the Lovers can indicate two different things as an external
influence.
As something outside of your control, the Lovers can indicate that your partner is bonding with someone else. If
it's a business contract, then they are going rouge. If it's a romantic partner, then they may have met someone
else and are torn between two people.
It can also indicate that no matter what your relationship with your spouse is being guided by the divine angel and
nothing can break that, no matter what temptation is put in the way. You would want to see many cups or even the
Empress and Emperor combined with your reading.
Outcome in Love
If the Lovers comes up as the outcome to a romantic questions, you will most likely have to choose between two
people. You could even make a choice between staying in an unhappy relationship or being single and happier.
Lovers in a Career
Lovers can be about any unions. If you are asking about a business decisions, the Lovers suggests contracts, unions
and working together.
Lovers Professions

Lovers Card Combinations
Lovers and Fool:
 A major choice to let go of someone whose opinion of you isn't
correct. The Lovers is urging you to act like the Fool and embrace
who you are, NOT what other people tell you you are. The Fool is a
person who can be anyone he wants.
Lovers and the Hierophant:
 In the future position, can indicate a marriage.
 Initiation (hierophant) into a sacred and spiritual ritual or group.
Could be teacher to student.
Lovers and the Chariot:
 Controlling sexual desire in order to get real work done.
Lovers and the Wheel of Fortune:
 Your fate is pushing you towards some kind of union
 Fate makes you feel like you’re in love.
Lovers and Hanged Man:
 If you want to be with her, it's going to be a wait. It's not going to
happen right away.
 She tells her lover that they cannot meet today.
 Good things will come to those who wait and surrender to fate.
Lovers and Devil:
 Having many choices in romantic partners, but unfortunately you
either pick the wrong person OR there aren't any good ones to pick
from
Lovers and the Star:
 Love will happen for you, but you'll have to be patient. It will be
in the distant future.
Lovers and Two of Wands:
 You have a major financial decision to make.
~ 14 ~
Lovers and Knight of Swords:
 Whirlwind romance
Lovers and Ace of Cups:
 Choice in love between your current partner and a new partner.
Lovers and Two of Cups:
Start of a new romance. (Best two cards to get when asking about
love!)
Lovers and King of Cups:
 Emotionally drawn to a situation probably with a man who is like
the King of Cups
 The lovers with any two court cards can indicate a choice between to
partners
The Chariot
Be aware of your emotions and rein them in. Be in control of who you are and where you are going. Don’t let your
emotions over take you. Use your fears and emotions constructively. Don’t let go of the horse’s reins. Use them to
steer you in the right direction. Victory will be yours through discipline and confidence.
But you have to arm yourself before battle. Take control of the horses, control the chariot, suit yourself with
armor and gather your weapons. Once you have everything in order do not waiver.
The man holds reins over two sphinxes, but he doesn’t look like he is physically controlling them. Where are the
actual reins? This card is a lot about controlling a situation through your mind. Once you have control over your
mind, you can have control over your emotions more easily.
The Chariot is in control and quite determined of their short-term goals.
The Chariot in Love
Not a great indicator for a new relationship. The person could be very focused on you, but not for the right
reasons. A person who is indicated by the Chariot has a tendency to focus on their goals with little regard for
emotions. Emotions are the root of all love.
If you are already in a relationship, it may not be going the way you want because your partner is focused on work
or is traveling constantly.
The Chariot as Feelings
You maybe feeling guarded, but in a good protective way. Sometimes it is natural part of life in order to focus.
Typically, people want to know how a love interest feels about them. If the Chariot comes up as feelings for a love
interest, you may not get anywhere with them because they are feeling guarded, protective and self assured. They
know what they want and it is extremely possible that they are not interested in you. If we look closely we can see
the breast plate of the Charioteer is protecting his heart. This is a key symbolism to the card. To ensure that he
gets his mission completed, he does not have anytime to feel anything romantic. In fact, he is probably feeling
willful, self-assured and resolved.
The Chariot as Advice
The Chariot advises you to set goals and complete them. Even if you have a larger goal in mind, break down your
goal into tiers or mini-goals. Don't let anything get in your way when you are focusing on completing each goal.
Completion, goals setting and focus are key reminders when the Chariot comes up in the advice spot during a tarot
reading.
If you must come into conflict with yourself, another person or another idea, remember that you cannot have
peace without a war. Reconcile these differences to create equilibrium.
As Advice the Chariot suggests that you listen to your own inner voice, which is the still voice of the One Universal
Spirit, who guides us all. Do not stray from the path that was set out before you. Once you realize that there is
only One Will, One Holy Guardian Angel guiding you, then you can begin to work in harmony with all that is around
you in the matrix of this world that was designed before you came into this body.
~ 15 ~
The Chariot in Career
This is a good career card. You are focused and driven to succeed. Could indicate a career in the military,
especially if combined with the Emperor. Any career where you are reconciling differences or working on your own
are also good. The chariot is supposed to represent our actual bodies. Hence, we are drivers in our own tabernacle
(body). Any profession where you are in control, seeking mastery, or adaptation.
Chariot Professions
Chauffeur. Driver. Warrior. Airline Pilot. Aeronautical. Extraterrestrial. Policeman. Security. Health Inspector.
Equestrian. Chemist. Mathematician.
The Chariot Reversed
Often indicates that you lose control of a situation. For the very, very literal interpretation, it can indicate a car
accident or misfortune with your car.
A person who is signaled by the reversed Chariot could be misguided and misdirected. They may have wishy-washy
feelings and cannot make a firm commitment or decision.
Sometimes a reversed reading will indicate a person who has tunnel vision and is so focused on their goals that
they don't see anything else around them.
Chariot Card Combinations
Chariot and High Priestess:
 Controlling your secrets
 Romance: She controls you by keeping you at a distance

Strength
Strength Interpretation and Divination
Strength can represent having the inner resolve and self-discipline to conquer desire. You'll need to use fortitude
and strength of character. Use love instead of force. You can get more out of someone using sugar and honey than
brute force.
Strength can also represent spiritual power that over comes material temptations. The woman in the Strength
card has spent many, many nights working on her ability to tame the lion through spiritual discipline. So this card
calls on you to use your inner strength to get the job done. You may have to work at it over and over and over again,
but you'll eventually be able to tame any problem through love and gentle care.
Strength is about always having the courage to stand up to any beast, whether it be an unjust law or a cruel
dictator. Do not succumb to brute force or physical threats. Be the Buddha or Jesus who adamantly turned away
~ 16 ~
from physical force even when force was used against them. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was the epitome of the
Strength card too.
Strength is the card of conquering your emotions. Fear drives us into an emotional abyss, if we cannot conquer it
with courage. Sometimes we need patience as well. This is a card that says patience is a way of listening to our
intuition and our inner strength. Strength is about mind over matter, conquering any doubt in us, overriding any
fears, controlling our emotions.
Strength in Love
Strength in love requires you to be gentle, kind and patient with your partner or lover. It is very likely that one of
you is the temperamental lion and the other is the mediator. You may bring a sense of calm to your relationship
that your partner needs. One of you has a fiery temper.
Courtship is very important to Strength in love. You may enjoy fine dining, theater and concerts. You may like a
little bit of the chase, which you find very romantic. You will purse your beloved until she or he is finally yours. You
will not settle in love.
Sexually passionate and intimate relationships are very important to you. You want to make love and be loved. Fire
in a romance are important and you may even believe that fighting might bring you closer. Strength in love will enjoy
make up sex immensely.
Strength as Feelings
You are probably feeling in control and diplomatic. You are feeling very regal and beautiful.
In a romantic context, you are feeling a lot of love for someone or something, but for some reason you have to
keep the love and the feelings restrained. You may even be feeling very sexual about a certain someone.
Strength as an Obstacle
The lady in the Strength card is larger than life. We can see this by the way she towers over the landscape and the
way she easily tames the lion. She is spiritually "above" the average person and thus, can be quite intimidating.
Many people do not share her higher vibrations and thus, can find her extremely intense. As an obstacle in your
love reading, Strength maybe telling you to not use so much force. All good things comes to those who wait. In
other words, don't try and force the lions mouth to close.
Strength on a Mundane Level
Strength is also a card that can represent dentists and orthodontists. It can also be about cosmetic surgery.
Strength can also represent telepathy and communicating with animals. It's a card for all animal tamers and animal
lovers.
Strength Professions
Veterinarian. Dentist. Internist. Orthodontist. Animal breeder. Animal trainer. Geneticist. Plastic Surgeon.
Diplomat. Ambassador.
Strength Reversed
Strength can indicate lust, raw sexual energy, passion and sexual slavery. Strength reversed can hint at a one-
night stand.
Upright, Strength is a card of how to balance power, but when reversed the card can indicate someone or a
situation, which is overbearing. This can lead to others being intimidated by the person. A bully can even be
indicated.
On the worldly level, reversed Strength speaks of dictators or people who try to over power others. I am
reminded of President Teddy Roosevelt who was a determined to build the Panama Canal even though the French
had already given up. Roosevelt felt that he could conquer nature through the "power" of man. Roosevelt's whole
motto in life should have been, "Man vs. Nature and I will conquer." He did prevail, but he had to push away any
doubt and go full steam ahead.
On an extreme negative side of reversed Strength we see the power play between president donald trump and
dictator Kim Jung-un who are recklessly using nuclear bombs to threaten and intimidate each other.

Hermit
The Hermit Interpretation and Divination
The Hermit is a Thoreau, who goes into the woods to write about everything he sees and feels. He walks through
the woods every day, quietly practicing mindfulness, enjoying everything he comes into contact with. He is
introspective, keen, and logical. He wants to analyze everything around him as it gives light to the self inside.
When you get the Hermit in a reading, you may want to spend some time alone. This is not a time of loneliness, but
of a time where being alone is necessary.
The Hermit as a Person
The Hermit represents someone who is analytical and insightful. They need time alone to ponder. Could indicate a
physicist or astrologer contemplating a new theory.
He can also represent a person who is a little strange, a person who always seems to be alone.
The Hermit in Love
If you are already in a relationship, the Hermit signals that it isn't a good time for love. Your partner really wants
time alone.
If you are inquiring about a love interest, the Hermit warns that he or she is extremely picky about who they
choose to be with. They will want a lot of space and may even want to have separate rooms or live apart indefinitely.
The Hermit for Feelings
If you get the Hermit in the "feelings" placement then your love interest feels like being alone. They feel deeply
introspective and probably very happy about being alone. There maybe a breakup in the future if they are feeling
the Hermit energies.
Hermit Strengths
If the Hermit comes up for your strengths, it means that you work great alone. You may also be bestowed with
spiritual insight and inner intuitive guidance.
Hermit as Advice
The Hermit is on the top of the summit, which we can see in the distance on the Fool card. He has reached the
highest point in the lower minor arcana. As advice, the Hermit wants you to take the higher road. You have the
lantern, the star, that can guide the way for others. If you are in a conflict with someone, show them the path.
~ 18 ~
People are always looking for the something more inside of them, but are sometimes unsure of how to find it. The
Hermit can show you the way.
Another important piece of advice that the Hermit bestows on us is that of study. He is a studious, self taught
person. It could be asking you to study ancient texts, ancient scripts or take an educational route that is not under
mass consciousness.
Hermit Professions
Author. Writer. Editor. Astrologer. Psychic. Psychologist. Analyst. Metaphysical Student or Sage.
The Hermit Reversed
You maybe feeling self-pity and self-doubt. You need time to withdraw from society, friends, and family, which is
not the best option, but it's how you feel presently. You are suffering with loneliness and isolation.
The Hermit reversed suffers from hypochondria. He or she may think that every little spot or mark is sign of
death.

Wheel of Fortune
We are constantly being "reborn" and stuck in a never-ending cycle of life and death.
This is a good card to get and one of the luckiest in the bunch. You may have a certain degree of good luck and
fortune.
The Wheel can come up for someone with loves to gamble. Depending on the cards and question, the Wheel of
Fortune combined with a travel card such as the Knight of Wands or the 6 of Swords can indicate a trip to Las
Vegas, Atlantic City or the French Riviera.
You may understand life's ups and downs and just role with the punches. A person who gets the Wheel is advised
to look at the glass half full rather than half empty.
There are obvious karmic connections to the Wheel of Fortune as everything is in a constant cycle and movement.
You get what you put out.
The Wheel of Fortune as a Person or Signifier
No ordinary person. He or she has a larger than life outlook. He or she probably spent many incarnations on other
planetary systems and is here on Earth to help. They can be very magnetic but for those who are under developed
may see the Wheel personality confusing. ( A little too exciting, perhaps). They naturally forgive people and have a
great sense of humor.
They may love history, current events and culture. They love and investigate other cultures. They love the stars
and may spend many nights just gazing at the sky. They always seem to see shooting stars. If they live in the city,
they may need to take a break from the city lights and go out into the wilderness.
The may love fashion and dressing in many different outfits. They love beauty and refinement. They may prefer
the mountains to the oceans.
They understand karmic laws and are extremely self-reflective because of this. They were born with a divine
sense of cosmic self.
They have a love of children and animals and can see a soul in every living thing (and non-living too).
They collect information to stock pile in their soul.
They are lucky when they gamble or invest. The wealthier may make speculative purchases such as real estate,
commodities, and the stock market. They have an intuitive sense of what to buy combined with their love of reading
and investigating. The less wealthy get lucky with lotto tickets and black jack.
The Wheel personality is mighty exciting!!
Wheel of Fortune in Love
I think the Wheel brings good luck to any relationship. It's a karmic tie or it's something that you "need". It's
meant to happen as part of your life path.
I see the Wheel in romance as optimistic, fertile, and honest. You will have a very honest and open communicative
relationship. I see lots of giggling between the couple. You may even take trips together because you love culture
and adventure. A very whirlwind romance as everything moves in perfect harmony with each other. It's the right
time for this. Perfect timing.
Wheel of Fortune as a Strength
You are able to learn from the down periods in order to be truly joyful in the up periods.
The Wheel doesn't stop moving, it will go down and it will come back up, but it's how you look at the down periods
that indicate how good your down period are. There is a lesson in there. Learn from that lesson, so that you don't
repeat the same down period. It will make your up periods so much more profound and joyful, for only in suffering
can one really experience joy.
Wheel of Fortune as the Outcome
The Wheel of Fortune is in constant flux and rotation, which makes the wheel of Fortune right at home in the
outcome position. It's all about the final culmination of ongoing activity. It's about karma, cause and effect or the
results of your actions.
~ 20 ~
This could indicate that something from the past is concluding as the outcome. What you put out into the world is
coming back to you.
The Wheel in the outcome position will usually indicate a result that you are not aware of. So if you are expecting a
definite result, the Wheel of Fortune predicts that you will be in for a nice surprise!
In the outcome position, The Wheel of Fortune almost always indicates a more positive spin to a situation.
Wheel of Fortune on a Mundane Level
The Wheel of Fortune can indicate treadmills and elliptical machines where you are running over and over again in
the same spot.
It can also indicate the washing machine. Perhaps you will end up doing a lot of laundry on the day your daily card is
the Wheel of Fortune.

Wheel of Fortune Reversed

My personal view is that the Wheel is just as lucky as when it is upright. The meanings is the same, but slightly
masked. Your luck might be more subdued.
Wheel of Fortune Card Combinations
Wheel of Fortune and High Priestess:
 Fluctuations between dark and light.
 Watching the moon fade and the sun rise
Wheel of Fortune and Two of Cups:
 Fated love affair.
Wheel of Fortune and Page of Cups:
 Someone who is a page of cups/wheel would see relationships are
harmonious, karmic, and happy. Their unions are always upbeat and
they are very romantic. They tend to have good luck in relationships
and are healthy and strong. They are motivated and are constantly
seeking out the "one." In this life, they are fortunate, probably based on
good deeds from past lives. In love they are open and honest
communication. They love talking and are always on the go.
 You go round and round with your kids. Getting emotional over doing
your chores happens frequently when you tell your kids over and over

Justice
Justice is similar to cause and effect, which is commonly known as karma. Everything you say or do has
ramifications, whether they are small actions or large ones. Justice reverberates karmic principles.
The Justice tarot card brings in a sense of balance. Symmetry in art is important to them.
Justice isn't concerned with revenge. At times the Justice tarot card is not concerned with man made laws, but
with giving you back what you've put out. Justice deals with Universal laws that govern our universe.
~ 21 ~
The regal woman in the justice tarot card does not care if there is loophole in the law that allows someone to get
away with a crime. Eventually, justice (not revenge) will be doled out for the individual.
If you are asking about a legal question then upright Justice is a good omen, while reversed Justice indicates an
unfair trial. If you do not read reversals then look for surrounding cards. The 5 of Swords or the 7 of Swords next
to Justice might indicate a bias in a court proceeding, while the 6 of Pentacles and Judgement would indicate
fairness.
If someone steals from you, do not steal something of theirs trying to make it fair. Justice is less of a physical
person and more of a vast network of spiritual energy that balances itself out behind the scenes. Just look at that
curtain behind Lady Justice? Whatever is behind that curtain is where the karmic retributions work themselves
out. You can't see it, but it's there.
Justice as a Person/Signifier
Since Justice rules over Libra and Venus rules Libra, there is a direct correlation to symmetry and art. Someone
whose signifier is the Justice card will love everything that is beautiful and simple. They have a keen eye of
observing minute details. They probably have a love of some form of art whether it be ballet, opera, theatre, hip
hop music, violin, oil painting....Really, anything that is involved in the different mediums of art.
Justice as a person wants everything to be balanced and harmonious. A bad side to this is that they often feel
their side is correct and don't understand why others wouldn't take their well thought out advice, and yet they can
easily fall right back into line with understanding that people will learn at their own rate. They can be very forgiving
and understanding.
As a person, Justice likes to come at a situation at all angles. They weigh all the pros and the cons. They most
likely make lists and finish them. They will even do this within a relationship. They are not a person to quickly jump
into a relationship, but when they do they will give their heart totally. They are always on the lookout for someone
who truly complements them.
Words and actions are important aspect to someone who is signified by Justice. They want words backed up by
actions. If you tell them, "I am a great artist," make sure you can show them proof of art.
In fact, the need tangible proof of some kind to weigh against their own intuition.
They can be very good with words, such as the sword they hold represents. Some may write long love letters to
their beau, but in other aspects a person who has Justice as a signifier will take the time to reply to e-mails in
detail and with regard for education.
Education is important to them. They may even have several degrees or certificates in their chosen field. It's not
so important to them the degrees or certificates, but what and how they utilize that information.
Justice people are romantic. Don't let that cold sword and the name of the card confuse you. Diplomacy is easy for
them. They love balance in a relationship and like to weigh and divide everything up, which isn't a bad thing if both
people are business minded. They love going to the theater and opera and can even get caught up in the fantasy of
it all and project these romantic fantasies on relationships.
A Justice romantic looks for a union that is equal. They maybe very good at business and philanthropy and want to
share a business with a partner. They need their mind nurtured by their partner and expect their partner to share
with them all aspects. They have a desire to "know" everything about their partner and will forgive and understand
anything and everything.
Friendship in marriage is very important to Justice in love. They are very discriminating in who they partner up
with. Justice in love has a tendency to start out as friends first and lovers later. This is because they need their
mind nurtured above all else.
A person who has a signifier as Justice may get married later in life in their 30s or 40s. They may even have
several earlier relationships as "tests" before they find the "one." But once they do find their truly equal match,
they will partner for life.
Justice in Love
Justice can also portend a wedding in the courthouse and is favorable in the outcome position when surrounded by
supporting cards such as the Three of Cups or Four of Wands.
~ 22 ~
Though, Justice in a love reading needs to be examined carefully. There maybe somethings that need to be
balanced out for either previous lifetimes or current ones.
Justice in love requires the querent or the querent's love interest and/or partner to really weigh up the
relationship. If Justice comes up in a romantic reading there is a high probability that the relationship wouldn't be
head-over-heals or whirlwind.
Justice as an Obstacle
The word assigned to Justice is "Lamed", which means "work" and "education." When the Justice cards comes up in
a reading there is an imbalance. You may be caught between trying to balance work and your educational needs. As
an obstacle, you will have a hard time doing this.
Justice Professions
Judge. Lawyer. Mediator. Politician. Arbitrator. Diplomat. Urologist. Peace Keeper. Peace Corps. Educator.
Manager, Director, Supervisor. Art Director. Art Curator. Educational Management.
Reversed Justice
Reversed Justice can be about being in a legal situation where the guilty get away with a crime or where someone
who is innocent is being prosecuted as guilty. For me this is the biggest meaning of Justice reversed in a general
context.
Justice is also about balance, so Justice reversed is about imbalance.
Reversed Justice Keywords: Justice not being served. Abuse of the justice system. Bigotry. Bias. Unjust verdict.

you with everything you lack. Together you create a perfect picture
of harmony and balance.

The Hanged Man
The Hanged Man stands for letting go, meditation, bliss, patience, unyielding.
You maybe on the brink of a spiritual discovery.
The Hanged Man can also stands for someone who is adept at illusion. You could meet someone who spins fantastic
stories, like a screenwriter or novelist. They are usually psychic and need time alone in order to gain further
wisdom and understanding. The Hanged Man can also be about sacrificing a belief or something else to gain insight
into a situation. On rare instances, the Hanged Man can indicate a martyr someone who sacrifices his life for the
greater good. On a more banal level, this could be a person who gives to charity, while forfeiting their yearly
vacation.
The Hanged Man in Love
If you are searching for love, it may not be the best time to get involved in a relationship. You'll have to wait.
There maybe a delay getting the one you love. Your love interest also runs the risk of being too in love with love, so
that they would rather have you as a fantasy than you as the real person.
If you are in a relationship, you or your partner may love being in love. You may be very pure in heart always
believing the best in your partner. You love giving plenty of boxes of chocolates or flowers to your loved one. You
spend time re writing your wedding vows and take care to include a heartfelt message in a birthday or anniversary
card. This is because the Hanged Man stands for understanding the power of thought. We are what we believe. The
more we love and express our love, the more love we receive in return.
The Hanged Man as Advice
Surrender to that of which you do not understand, but want to gain knowledge in.
Do not force anything. Let go and surrender to time and patience. You cannot force things to happen, if you do
they might never happen.
More simply: Just wait.
Another useful piece of Hanged Man advice is to try and see a situation in a different light. Reverse your way of
thinking.
The Hanged Man as Feelings
You may feel like something has turned upside down. Maybe you've thought you were in love before, but when you
meet this new man or woman, you see things differently. You may have the feeling that you now know what love
really is. You simply feel something you haven't felt before.
You have a reversal of feelings and usually, almost always, in a good way. In fact, you probably see and feelings
things correctly.
Hanged Man on a Mundane Level
The Hanged Man may indicate you need to drink more water.
Hanged Man Tarot Professions
Weaver. Illusionist. Clairvoyant. Storyteller. Author. Theatrical Actor. Director. Film Maker. Production Assistant.
Singer. Dancer. Artist.
The Hanged Man Reversed
There is a big tendency to martyr yourself and play the victim when the Hanged Man comes up Reversed. You
maybe sulking, disenchanted and grieving some imaginary, overly dramatic loss. You'd rather believe that your life
is a Mexican telenovela than see the truth of the situation. You maybe so caught up in the production and illusion
that you cannot see clearly. You maybe suffering from delusions.
Psychic receptivity maybe over the top with the inability to control bad frequencies. Alternatively, psychic
receptivity maybe blocked. You maybe going from psychic to psychic in order for her to tell you what you want to
hear. Determined to get the happy ending you think is only one step away while ignoring all the good, real and
tangible things around you.
Hanged Man Card Combinations

Death
Death can indicate something that is supposed to happen. You have no control over it happening. It will come
regardless of any action that you take to prevent it. It can indicate the death of a friendship, a job, or a marriage.
In transliteration tarot, Death translates into "no" or "not". So if you get Death with the 3 of Cups it translates as
"No, you will not become friends or you will not go to the party."
Death can also be about a kundalini sexual experience. If you asked what you wanted in a partner and got the
Death card, you might want the best sex ever on a tantric level. You want sex to take you to a higher place
spiritually. It could represent the orgasm as a gateway to God, source and the Universe.
Celibacy is only for the very advanced spiritual souls who understand how to use the reproductive energies in the
second chakra. You can pull up this dense sexual energy and use it to heal your body. In a man, this power is let out
and dispelled through ejaculation. When he is advanced enough, he can learn to turn this ejaculation inward and use
it to energize his entire body, thus preventing the spilling of his life-force, chi, prana. But man does not normally
get to this point in one life time and it is only for the very, very advanced. For a woman, she sheds blood every
month. She can also learn to pull this energy up her body and stop or limit her monthly cycle.
In both man and a woman, you can use the orgasm and pull the energy up your body. You can do this with or without
a partner. In a woman, it is much easier to do since she doesn't have to worry about spilling her reproductive life-
force. In a man, this is achieved through having an orgasm without ejaculation. Again, this is for the very advanced
and I have seen "tantric-dakini's" advertising these services for men online. Most of these services are simply
prostitution disguised as some sort of spiritual eastern philosophy attached to them. I do not advocate using these
services. I doubt most will yield the instruct of utilizing the life force.
The Death card can be very spiritual. It maybe telling you that it's time to evolve to a higher level spiritually. In
order to do this, you'll need to leave behind an old attitude or believe.
It can also mean death of an idea or period in your life. It has to be quite a literal transformation though. You
would have to cut something off that truly is dead.
Death is something that is forced on to you. You may not have a choice in the matter. You may have trouble letting
go of old habits and Death is here to tell you that you are being forced. You do not have a choice in the matter.
~ 25 ~
People hate to hear this, but the Tarot Death card can be about someone that will truly die. Death is, after all,
natural and inevitable.
Death is transformational. All the leaves need to fall off in the winter and be barren before new leaves will grow in
the spring. They must ‘die’ in the winter to be ‘reborn’ in the spring.
People tend to fear death because literal death is the giving up of one’s body and leaving behind all the
materialistic, identifying aspects to a life. We also leave behind loved ones and our relationships with them. But it
doesn’t have to be scary. No one lives forever and nothing goes on forever. Death asks you to look deep inside
yourself and accept change for the better. You simply cannot go on in the manner in which you are living any longer.
Death as a Person
Death to describe someone's personality could indicate someone who has many different and eclectic friends.
They are a little odd and always interesting. They have a spiritual side that they may hide from others. They have a
love of knowledge and believe that they can keep knowledge in the soul through the DNA. Someone with the tarot
Death card as a signifier is very good at keeping secrets. They love excitement and are different. They may pride
themselves in being different and very intense. They can end up being loners.
Death in Love
When Death comes up in a love reading, it does not seem likely that you and your romantic partner will continue.
Death is a definite, "No, it won't work out."
Death in love has a tendency towards obsession. They may call too many times or email excessively unaware that
this is off putting. In this way, they set themselves up for a loss in the long term. The challenge with Death in love
is to know when to back away and when to advance.
Death as Feelings
They feel like it's over. Whether or not it really is over is left to be unseen.
On the other hand, it could be possible that you have sexually, orgasmic feelings. It really depends on the context.
On a Mundane Level
Reversed Death can indicate that many people are sick, but not dying.
Tarot Death Professions
Mortician. Grave Keeper. Forensics. Sexual Therapist. OBGYN. Coroner. IRS. Debit Collector. Forensic Accountant.
Death Reversed
When Death comes up reversed it still indicates that something is over, but you maybe trying to sustain a false
illusion that it is alive and well. You are resisting Death with ever fiber of your body.
Death Reversed indicates that there is a delay in something ending.

Temperance

truth and want to discover new awareness. You are very in tune with the vibrational frequencies around you.
You maybe in a situation that needs constant bits of work and adjustments to make it just right. You will need to

Because you probably fought for religious freedoms, you have a high sense of justice. You want to defend the weak.

your own spiritual development. You are probably in tune with your dreams, spirits and angels.

probably love asking questions. Temperance indicates a very inquisitive person. You may also be very scientifically
inclined.

Temperance in romance is also yearning to be with the "one" or no one. Temperance in romance does not settle
because they tend to have an attitude like "I'm here for a reason and with a mission." That mission may not involve
romance. A temperance person may say things that can be mean and cutting too.

Someone who upholds social mores that can hurt other people. For instance, a reporter who goes after a senator

Reversed Temperance suggests imbalances, as upright Temperance indicates combining opposites so that a balance
can occur. There is a lack of harmony and even clocks may seem to act erratically. Timing is off and you may find
yourself late for an appointment or date.
Imbalances can also occur to your body in your endocrine system or liver. Your body seeks to rid its self of
disruptive hormones from birth control or the misuse of drugs, whether prescription or recreational.

The Devil
The Devil Interpretation and Divination
The Devil is related to materialism. The Devil indicates being bound by things, stuff, and physicalities. You are
unable to let them go. You maybe caught up in always wanting more indulgences and never thinking that you have
enough.
But the Devil reminds you that the noose around your neck can easily be taken off.
The Devil in tarot can represent a gambling addiction that is out-of-control. Someone who steals and lies for their
next gambling venture. Someone with risky behaviors that includes risky business ventures that are more
precarious than grounded.
The Devil in tarot can represent drugs addictions and drug dealers. It could represent someone who gets another
person addicted to drugs so that they can control them. It could represent a boyfriend who gets his waning
girlfriend addicted to drugs so that she won't leave him.
The Devil in tarot can represent obsessions, especially with materialism. You maybe obsessed with having all the
new toys and gadgets. You are the person with the newest smart phone or fabulous luxury car. Your desire for more
stuff is insatiable. If you live in the city, you also may like high views, such as a penthouse view over the city.
The Devil in tarot can represent any behavior that is uncontrollable. The Devil can even indicate someone who is
hysterical or bipolar.
The Devil can sometimes suggest impotence in a man.
The Devil in Love
The Devil also indicates sexual interests such as bondage, bisexuality, and fetishes. In its darkest form the Devil
can represent sexual slavery.
Lust is commonly confused for love as the Devil in love doesn't understand real, pure compassion as a form of love.
You may have an obsessive longing to be with your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend and can't stand to be apart
from them. This is normally not a healthy relationship, but one that is fictionalized as romantic in many love stories
written for the cinema. You may have to know every little thing about them and you disrespect their boundaries.
Your fourth chakra, which rules the heart is most likely to be over enlarged. A person like this doesn't believe love
has boundaries and you may find them snooping around, following you to work to see if you are being faithful or
checking with past lovers for information about them. If you have a journal or diary, this person will read it trying
to convince you that "love has no boundaries." But love does have boundaries. Think of it like a cat. When your cat
comes to you, the cat appreciates you more. When you are constantly picking up the cat and hovering over the cat,
the cat resists you more and more. Cats need boundaries and so do people.
If you are asking about a love interests feelings then this person maybe obsessed with you in a negative way. They
must have you at all costs. They may even be thinking about you in a lewd, degrading way. They may think of you as
an object.
In a relationship, they may expect lavish and expensive gifts. The Devil can indicate the type of woman who only
dates affluent, wealthy men and immediately writes off poor men. The same holds true for men. A man who only
dates super models. Someone like Larry King or Donald Trump who is always "trading up" for a younger version of
his wife. According to the Devil, love is for the weak.
The Devil card can come up for men who degrade and objectify women. Sexual obsession and rape can be
suggested by the Devil.
The Devil in tarot can come up to represent sexual temptations, such as a married spouse feeling tempted by
someone who has vices. Jessica Rabbit would be a good example of a woman who uses the Devil to get what she
wants out of men.
Devil as Feelings
When the Devil comes up in the "feelings" position it can indicate a few things depending on who you are inquiring
about. If you are asking about a love interest or boyfriend/girlfriend then the possibility that they are obsessed is
~ 29 ~
most likely probable. They are so blinded by lust, temptation and the outward "you" that they can't see anything
else clearly.
If the Devil falls into a placement about feelings about an acquaintance, friend or colleague there is a possibility
that they feel a little scared. Fear tinged with obsession would be highly likely. They have some strange infatuation
or fatal attraction or Single White Female (movie) thing going on. They can't seem to get you out of their head. I
would be worried if the Devil came up in a placement about feelings for a friend or colleague.
Devil as a Strength
There are positive aspects to the Devil. No doubt, the Devil is all about materialism and matter. Anything that is
physical can fall under the Devils reign. We need the physical Earth because we are physical beings.
In an Occult setting there is a need to "take off the noose" and "be psychic." This is not the goal of the mystic.
Then you would be lost in the astral world unable to meet the needs of your physical body.
In a romantic reading, the Devil as a Strength can indicate a contract or pact that has been made with someone.
You may not even be aware of this pact because it happened in a past life or before you entered this body. The
pact could even be the manifestation of mental activity grounding into the material. There is a major life lesson to
be learned from this person. That is the strength of the Devil if it falls in this position in a love reading.
Devil as an Obstacle
The Devil as an obstacle can mean a few things. First it can mean that you are tied to something unhealthy. Maybe
you are stuck in a job that you hate, but continue. You feel "chained" to your boss or "chained" to your desk.
In a romantic context, the Devil does indicate an unhealthy need and obsession to be with someone. This could be
impeding your way into a healthy relationship.
Any other vices could fall under the Devil as an obstacle: Gambling, risky behavior, and even dark magic.
All of these ideas should be looked at closely. If you are in a job that you don't like or that isn't working you to
your full potential, branch out and do what you love. Have unwavering faith in yourself. The same goes for a
relationship. If you are in a relationship, you may not be seeing what is real, but what you want to see, thus
resulting in an obstacle.
All of these are solvable obstacles. There isn't any reason other than your own self-denial that prevents you from
freeing your mind and thus your life.
The Devil as Advice
Be careful while signing contracts. "The devil is in the details," is the phrase that comes to mind.
Devil Professions
Criminal investigator. Prostitute. Drug Dealer. Voodoo. Dark Magic. Con Man. Comedian, probably dark comedy and
satire. Big Banker. Big Corporate Director.
The Devil Reversed
The Reversed Devil can mean one of two things. You can realize that you don't want to be chained to a vice, a blood
sucking corporate job or a draining relationship and release the cords.
The other side of the Reversed Devil emphasizes that the chains are chocking you, but you are unaware of it. The
Reversed Devil suggests a very immature soul, who will hurt anyone to get to the top. They play the game of life
like some "House of Cards" board game, unaware or insensitive to the damage it does to other people. This person
could very well be a psychopath and a sociopath.
Due to the nature of universal laws, this person will finally see their retribution play out, most likely in the final
stages of their life. This kind of person usually works very hard for money and power, who winds up later in life,
homeless, poor, ugly and miserable. This sort of fate can translate into a new life (if you believe in reincarnation).
The Devil Card Combinations
Devil and the Sun:
 Understanding why you are here on Earth.
 Understanding that in order to be free you have to face the Devil as
a positive aspect in yourself and all humanity.

The Tower
The Tower Interpretation and Divination
The Tower is the biggest sign of total destruction. Usually this is unexpected destruction of existing structures.
The tower usually means that something in your life will suddenly change. Things will be destructive. There will be
an overhaul of everything you knew. Whatever it is, it won't be pleasant, but will be necessary. Jobs could suddenly
be lost or stocks could plummet. You could even find your lover in bed with another person. There is a force in
nature that shakes things up from time to time, and the tower signifies this. But these things must tumble if you
are to rebuild. Previous belief systems and existing structures must fall.
It could also signify something like a giant awakening. You could experience a spiritually moving event soon. Like
lightening it could come out of the blue. You might feel like you had false beliefs that are now dissolving. Expected
unexpected changes.
The Tower cautions against being strong with words. Watch what you say. Do you use words as swords? Have you
ever? Maybe those that you've wronged will come back to give to you what you have given to them.
~ 31 ~
The Tower indicates shoddy building developers and buildings that aren't constructed well. It could indicate that
the building was built in a hurry without watching for details.
The Tower can indicate sudden death such as a car accident, plane crash, or war. The Tower could indicate
someone who dies too young.
The Tower is symbolic of building castles so high no expectation will ever realistically reach them. You maybe
fantasizing about how great things could be only to find that they weren't as great as you thought they were going
to be.
As a world prediction, the Tower could indicate terrorist attacks or a bombing of some kind.
The Tower as a Person
As a person who gets the Tower tarot card could be motivated by a cosmic force. This person is good with words.
Sometimes these words come from the divine.
You are here on earth for a particular mission, but that mission is for you to find out on your own at the right time.
It will hit you out of nowhere and you'll have a major "ah-ha" moment.
The Tower in Love
If in a relationship, the Tower can represent the end of the relationship. You may catch you partner in bed with
another person or find out something that breaks the relationship apart. It can indicate a relationship that is not
built on solid ground. It's a breakup that usually comes without warning and it is unexpected.
The Tower as Feelings
It can also indicate a sudden feeling for someone that you never thought you would have. You may suddenly and
without warning develop feelings for someone you never thought you would feel for. Like the bold of lightening in
the sky.
The Tower as Advice
Lies have been built around a situation. Don't be fooled. The Tower advises you to dig around and find out the
truth. Maybe you started dating someone who is married. Go ahead and google their name. Find out the truth.
An example that happened to me: You could also have been sold a bad car (called a Lemon). You have the right to
legal and monetary compensation. Dig deep and stand your ground. Expose the truth of the situation and let them
know where you stand.
The Tower on a Mundane Level
The Tower can indicate severe weather with lightening. It can also foretell being evicted from your home.
The Tower as an Outcome
When the Tower card pops up as an outcome to a situation, you have to take into account what the situation is and
how you feel about the situation.
If you are single and and feel that you will never find love, the Tower indicates a surprise. You will be surprised by
something that you didn't think would happen.
On the other hand, if you are single and believe in fairy tales, the Tower may indicate that your dream person will
not show up. You may need to find someone else or give other people a chance.
If you are in a relationship, the Tower indicates a divorce or exposing the truth to a situation.
Tower Professions
Shoddy Business Developer. Builder. Linguist. Translator. Speech Therapist. Terrorist. Bomber.
The Tower Reversed
If the Tower is reversed it can indicate someone who is brutal and hurtful with words. Someone who fights
unnecessarily. Someone who is on some kind of inner crusade not knowing that they are doing more harm than
damage. A Christian crusader or an Islamic terrorists are two personae that could be indicated by the Tower
reversed.
In a love reading, the Tower reversed suggests that you relationship was built on false believes that you continue
to believe to the determent of your spiritual self. The relationship is essentially over, but neither want to realize it
or come to terms with it.

intuition at this time. You should use it. This is your guidance from within. Be your own guiding star.
The Star recommends that you release emotions and not allow them to overpower you. The Star comes after the
Tower when all the lies and misfortune came crashing down. The woman in the picture is naked. She doesn’t need
the walls or clothing of the Tower. She realizes that she is perfect just the way she is. You may have gone through

Something maybe just out of your reach. Money or inheritances could rightfully be yours, but you can't get to
them.
Maybe there is a man (or woman) in your office that you daydream about being with, but they don't seem
interested. You don't make that move on them and they never do either. Instead, you just dream about them and
have wishful thinking.
These types of thoughts aren't going to get you your dream lover nor are they going to get you that money. And as
an obstacle, it sadly doesn't predict whether or not you will get those things. It only says, "it's possible...."

The Moon
The Moon Interpretation and Divination
The Moon can warn against having a too wild of an imagination. The Moon reflects only the sun's light; it does not
have a light of its own. It is a reminder that you may not be seeing things as they really are.
The Moon suggests that you take a journey through the dark night of your subconscious. It will lead you to a land
of intuition and creativity.
The Moon signals that psychic abilities are easily accessible. But warns that there is a fine line between psychic
and psycho.
The Moon in tarot represents the subconscious and dreams. It can take us on a journey into a vivid dream
landscape. Anyone creative, can use the Moon card to inspire you to new creative heights.

The Moon represents your dreams. Your dreams may take on new meaning and be full of deep symbolism. Lucid
dreaming is indicated.

As a lover, the Moon can indicate someone who loves a variety of lovers. They may "keep" a woman (or man)
somewhere. Or he(she) could be in love with love but on a deeply, soulful level. He (she) loves everyone he (she)
connects with, so these love affairs would not be trivial to them. They are helping to develop the soul for the
ultimate experience on Earth.
If you are asking about a potential love interest, the Moon is warning you against illusions. There may be things
that you are not aware of. You could be daydreaming about this person and have false hopes.
You are definitely dreaming about this person. There is a definite feeling of love in the air and if it's a new love
then you maybe attaching some unreal expectations to things.
On a basic level, if you are already in a relationship, the Moon suggests that you and your partner have a psychic
connection.
The Moon as a Person
This is a person with a deep understand of past lives and who is gaining many experiences for an ultimately journey
that requires helping the less fortunate. They are deep and expansive. They are someone who is instantly attracted
to (for example) 16th century Spain because they have had past lives there. They yearn for a deep understand of
all people and their own souls. They probably have an inclination for the occult and are drawn to people who study
tarot or anything that can shed light on Earth's darkness.

No matter how bleak you may feel the sun will always rise. The sun is steady and constant. It doesn’t matter what
happens on Earth, the sun doesn’t change. (The moon changes phases. This is not as steady) After the madness of
the moon, the Sun brings a happy dose of shine.
The Sun shines brightly and makes a situation clearer. You may have the mental clarity that is needed in a situation.
It can indicate a sexual romp. The boy is naked and free. We also see him riding a horse, which suggests taking a
wild, sexual ride.
The Sun can also predict a child, either a son or twins.

your partner or you reminds them of your father (in a good way!).
Marriage and long term commitments are favorable when the Sun comes up in romance. There is a propensity to
have many sons rather than daughters.

You need to clarify a situation. Subconscious maybe coming together with consciousness. Great awareness can be
realized when our conscious mind comes together in harmony with subconscious awareness.
As advice, it may be telling you to take a negative situation and see it in a positive way. A lot of times tarot is
literal, so it could have to do with a child or children. Perhaps you see your children as having a bad habit or a
temper. Remember, those qualities can be molded into positive qualities. You may want to drop subconscious hints to
your child or your inner child, so that those qualities can affect your awareness.

Judgement
Interpretation and Meaning
Judgement advises you to embrace what you have done. There is no looking back, so do not try to cover up what
you have done. The past will always remain the past and the deeds you performed will always be with you. Now is a
good time to come to terms with the things that you have done.
Judgement is also the card of letting go, especially letting go of regret. There is nothing you can do to change the
past, but you can change the future. You can also change how you perceive the past.
Judgement can indicate a spiritual rebirth or awakening.
This is a time for change and a change of consciousness.
When Judgement appears in a reading, major life changes are most likely coming your way. You still might have a
little work to do.
You may have a change of consciousness that leads to a new spiritual awareness. Judgement indicates a soul and
life assessment. You may look back on your past and see things in a different way.
When you get Judgement in a reading, someone from your past may suddenly make an appearance. This is a karmic
lesson that you will need to work through.
Judgement in Love
When you are asking about love and Judgement comes up, there is a strong possibility that you have known your
potential lover or partner in a past life many times over. Judgement in love indicates that you and your partner
keep getting married over and over again. This can create a calm feeling of knowing and trust between two people.
The first time you re-met them in this life was probably a magical moment where "time stopped" and everything
around the two of you disappeared. There will be a magnetic attraction that goes beyond physical.
But love in Judgement isn't all sweetness and roses. There can be negative aspects that you two may have to work
through, which you probably keep repeating throughout the lifetimes together.
There is a tendency to lose yourself in romance and with your partner. You or your partner may feel as if you are
one soul.
If you are in an existing relationships and things are rocky, you may need to reevaluate things.
Judgement as Feelings
You maybe feeling extremely introspective about a situation or a person. You maybe feeling something has changed
inside of you so that you can reanalysis something that was buried.
You may feel like you've had an epiphany about something important. Someone may have brought something back to
the surface from the past and it has caused deep, conflicting feelings. There maybe a need to come to terms with
the past, who you really are, and how other people perceive you.
If you are asking, "What does X feel for me?" The answer is that they feel karmically bonded to you. They may
feel passion that they don't know how to reconcile. No matter how hard they try, they feel very sexually,
karmically, passionate about you.
Judgement as an Obstacle
Someone could be keeping the past from realigning itself with the future. There is always two sides to every story
and someone maybe holding on to only one side and not allow the other side to breathe. This can cause an obstacle
in an awakening that needs to happen. Judgement as an obstacles is someone or something that refuses to see
things how they really are and ends up making a situation worse than it already was.
As another obstacle, you maybe trying to resurrect something (perhaps an old lover or flame) that needs no be
resurrected. Let that person go if it is impeding your own spiritual development. All things end and all things have
their time and place.
~ 38 ~
Judgement as Advice
Advises you to resurrect something that you think might be worth salvaging. So make that phone call or write that
letter.
On the other hand, Judgement as advice is asking you to look at the situation from all sides. Is it worth salvaging?
Is the relationship really working? Maybe it's time to see things as they really are and not as you want them to be.
Judgement on a Mundane Level
Judgement suggests that you may receive a phone call, an invitation or some kind of announcement.

He is one of the more immature knights. Don’t try dating him for too long, he loves sexual rendezvous, but unlike
the knight of cups, he doesn’t care about your feelings. He is not in tune with other people’s feelings because his

Queen of Wands
In a general reading, the Queen of Wands signifies a bold outlook to life. You will need to take the bull by the
horns and get going. The Queen of Wands is the card you get when you want to travel to the highest peak in the
world or if you want to do something daring and exciting.
The Queen of Wands asks you to get your business in order. Make a list and check it twice. She's an innovator and
a manager. She may represent an aspect of yourself or someone that you know. You could have an important
meeting with your boss that needs to be addressed. If you have an issues or grievances you should speak up.
The Queen of Wands in a reading could have something to do with cats. One a more mundane level, I pulled this
card the day I decided to get a new cat. I had not planned on getting a cat, but that day I just *knew* I had to get
to the humane society because there was a special cat there. The Queen of Wands was telling me that I would
come home with a cat!
Queen of Wands as a Person or Signifier
The Queen of Wands is ambitious. She sets goals and wants to finish them. She may even time herself to see how
she will fit everything into the day. She is an excellent multi-tasker and can function as the CEO of a boardroom
with ease. She's the multi-tasker, the ambitious woman who doesn't let things get in her way. She's good at solving
life problems and issues and with her optimism she can turn any sour day into a bright opportunity for growth. She
is a natural manager and good and motivating groups of people. She can get people up and going with her cheerful,
positive outlook and attitude. She doesn't have time for sulking, or negative wallowing (she leaves that for the
Queen of Swords).
She has a tendency to be a beautiful woman. She may not have a traditional style of beauty, but there is always
something unique and radiant about her. She may be a movie star, entertainer, and highly loved. She brings energy
and charisma everywhere she goes. Just like the sunflowers, she likes to be the center of attention. In general, her
~ 57 ~
archetype is very popular and a people person. She's outgoing and is usually on the go. She may even be the "life of
the party." Mainly because she believes that the "harder you work, the harder you should play."
She isn't afraid to speak up and you know that she will "tell it like it is." She can be quite chatty and talk a blue
streak. She may need to learn to listen more and she does, only when it suits her. For instance, if will sit through a
lecture taking notes in order to learn new information in order to excel her career. She is the type of woman that
you need with you when you need to get a project finished or when you need to speak your mind. Bring the Queen of
Wands with you when you want to buy a car. She won't let anyone take advantage of her. She can be very sharp, yet
approachable. Her sense of humor can lighten the mood and her way with satire can explain a situation without
insulting anyone.
She may also be the type of person who seeks adrenaline pumping things. She loves to work out and finds the
"runners high" a wonderful motivator. She may even get some of her best ideas while exercising.
She loves the excitement that travel can bring and you may find her scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef or
hiking up Macchu Picchu. She's an adventuress.
She is also quite independent and doesn't get caught up with what others think of her. She only cares what she
feels for herself, which is usually upbeat and positive. She tells people, “It is what it is,” and “love me or leave me.”
Queen of Wands as Mother
If she does choose to be a housewife, she can do it with ease and charm. She's the type that will have her
husband's shirts ironed and pressed, dinner on the table in a graceful and elegant fashion and the children in order.
She loves create creative games, art projects and physical activities. She is the PTA mom, the organizer and the
planner. She will probably have her children involved in various activities. She may even will most have some kind of
side job whether it be an online business selling her handcrafted items on Etsy or doing part time work finishing a
degree.
The Queen of Wands loves to throw parties and her kids parties are no exception. They will definitely be themed,
organized well and she will include everyone. They will be exciting and creative.
Queen of Wands in Love
She can be single or married. In a relationship, she doesn't like to be tied down completely. She needs her
freedom. She also needs exciting and witty conversations. She is attracted to men who are passionate and fiery
like herself. Someone who stays in every night will bore her. If you want to seduce the Queen of Wands just ask
her to do something spontaneous. You may ask her, "Do you want to take a trip to Brazil tomorrow?" Be prepared
for her to answer, "Yes!" (Even if Brazil is an 18 hour flight!)
I've read time and time again that her legs are spread to indicate sexuality. I do not agree with this assessment.
If this was true, then a man sitting with his legs straight together would also represent sexuality, but it doesn't.
What I see in this picture is a woman giving birth. If we go back and look at the picture of Cybele we see that her
legs are also spread. Sex and birth are one in the same, but our culture currently distorts sexuality. I'd rather see
the Queen of Wands as giving birth to ideas. She is the fertile incubator of ideas that then spring forth quickly
into life.
So in a love reading, the Queen of Wands indicates a something that will happen rapidly. It also indicates for a
woman that you are in charge of the relationship and for a man it indicates that she is in charge of the way the
relationship will go. The Queen of Wands is highly selective in who she gives her time and energy too. I wouldn't
expect a woman like that to be "highly sexual." Not just any man can turn this lady on. He's going to have to bring
the fire.
This idea indicates that in a love reading, the Queen of Wands brings a passion, a spark that will ignite the flame
to a relationship. Metaphorically, this brings great love and enthusiasm to the relationship.
And how can a woman who is guarded by lions and has a cat with her be sexual? The women in the tarot who
represent unabashed sexuality are the Empress and the Queen of Pentacles.
Queen of Wands as a Feeling
If you are asking, "How does X feel toward me?" then the answer is a good one. They feel alive and awake at the
prospect of a new project or new lover. There is a creative element to the feeling, which is fueling the desire to
~ 58 ~
join together and create something new. They could even want to create a line of jewelry or create a new line of
clothing.

today is a new day. Wake up and make it your best!

situation. If you are afraid to ask your boss for a raise, the Queen of Wands suggests that you just ask.

to boost your emotions. You maybe going to a spa or yoga retreat where there are many planned activities through
out the day. It may suggest that you are going to do a lot of activities while you are on vacation.

a reassuring glance.

Queen of Wands Reversed
She is prone to gossip, so don't tell her your secrets.
A negative aspect of the Queen of Wands is that she can be temperamental, explosive anger problems and overly
dramatic, which leads her to having very few friends. She may even think of "friends" in terms of "what can you do
for me?" This can be problematic, yet she won't have the insight into seeing that she is creating her own problems.
She will always blame someone else.
The Queen of Wands has a lot of energy, but reversed she cannot channel this energy properly and leaves many
projects unfinished. If the Queen of Wands is reversed or ill-dignified, she may run the risk of taking on too many
things. You may need to reassess your priorities. Make sure you aren't trying to do to much.
She may need her ego stroked constantly and will interfere with men whom she has no business with. Even if she
knows that the man is taken is no obstacle for an ill-dignified Queen of Wands.
If she's in a relationship, then she is insanely jealous and won't allow her partner to have any female friends nor
any female business associates. To top this, she may even allow herself to have male associates and male friends to
further her career or business contacts. The reversed Queen of Wands is the quintessential gold-digger.

dilemma with ease.

really have any type of job just as long as he is the ring leader and the man who motivates others.
I also get the King of Wands in readings when someone is very sexual. The King of Wands is almost never sexually
satisfied and always ready to take the plunge into a new sexual adventure. If you want to spice up your sex life,
find the King of Wands. But I've had many readings where the King of Wands might not make the most faithful
partner. He may be emotionally involved with someone, but still looking at various other ladies.
If you ask him, "What's better than a woman?" He will reply, "Two women!"
King of Wands as a Father
He may never see fault in his children. He never sees his children as "unfixable". If he encounters a problem with
one of them, he simply finds a new way to motivate them or inspire them.

domineering because he feels like he is always right.
He's fully athletic and fun to take to sporting events. He's definitely the father who coaches the kid's basketball,
football or soccer games. He's the fun dad who all the kids wish were their dad.
The King of Wands may run a bad temper, especially when reversed. He maybe very protective of his teenage
daughters. I got this card once for a woman whose father would follow her on her dates as a teenager. He would
just show up and say something like, "Oh. I was just shopping here too."

Two of Swords
The Two of Swords can indicate a relationship, especially because of the number the card represents. Two people
have come together with equal force and met each other with resistance. Neither one is able to give in, so the
tension builds. If the tensions breaks both will feel heavy. If one gives in both will feel hurt. It’s not a good card.
Both people need to find balance. Both need to let their guard down. There is something deep in the subconscious
waters below.
The Two of Swords indicates that you may have to go inside to seek a solution. But a solution must be met, because
nothing is happening now. She is keeping the two swords apart, but it’s temporary. You’ve been deliberately avoiding
the truth.
Meditation. Mediation. Try these peaceful tactics because sooner or later those heavy swords are going to turn
into a burden and you will finally have to drop them.The number two in the Two of Swords indicates duality and
choices. There is a duality between the intellect and emotions. Forces are coming together and a choice between
going with ones heart and going with a more logical choice are presented. The Two of Swords indicates that you'd
rather not come to any conclusion.
Two of Swords in Love
The two swords are literally blocking the emotions and heart. It can indicate a relationship that won't progress
because one person is fearful of being hurt, so they cover their heart, while the other partner keeps trying only to
keep getting shut down.
It can also indicate that one person really doesn't want to be in a relationship and the other person is trying to
force themselves in.
If you are in a relationship, the Two of Swords can indicate fighting, bickering and unsettled thoughts. There is
trouble in the relationship. There could also be mental disorders where the person doesn't know how to cope.
Two of Swords as Feelings
As a feeling, the Two of Swords can indicate a person who is confused, in denial or feeling very conflicted. There is
a conflict between emotions and intellect. They don't want to feel anything and may replace it with more conscious

Three of Swords
The Three of Swords is about sorrow. It’s a dreaded card. Someone is keeping a secret from you and you’re aware
of it, but don’t want to realize it. Some dreadful piece of the puzzle is about to come out. Swords represent words
(ideas/thoughts), so someone may tell you something that you don't want to hear such as, "I don't care about you. I
don't love you." Someone is going to break your heart.
Two people were at a stalemate in the Two of Swords. The Three of Swords is the truth about to come out. Pain is
part of the joy we experience. Without sorrow, we don't really know joy. Sometimes we need the tears to help us
feel better.
The Three of Swords can also come out of the blue. You aren't expecting such an attack. Someone says something
to you that hurts you to the core.
The Three of Swords can be about a struggle between the mind and the heart, hence the swords (words) piercing
a heart. Perhaps you want to break up with someone because you know they are wrong for you, but your heart tells
you otherwise. Perhaps you are ignoring your intuition (heart) because your mind (swords) are rationalizing. This
may lead to a lot of hurt in your heart and soul.
The Three of Swords can also be quite literal. It can indicate surgery, especially open heart surgery. I had this
card come up for a woman who lost her Mom to a heart attack.
The Three of Swords can also represent infertility. The Empress rules over the 3's and she is the fertile Mother,
while the Queen of Swords rules over the 2 and 3 of Swords. Combine these two women together and you get
~ 64 ~
infertility. You could have a hard time conceiving and turn towards in-vitro fertilization. It can result in a lot of
heartbreak and pain, but in the end, if you may end up with a baby and you will have your Empress moment. The
Three of Swords can also symbolism miscarriages and the sorrow and grief that comes with it.
Three of Swords in Love
The Three of Swords can also be about a love triangle. There are most likely three people involved. Any time there
is a love triangle, someone is bound to get hurt by it. All three people could end up suffering. Perhaps you have been
having problems in your current relationship and fall instantly in love with someone else. You didn't mean to fall in
love with another, but you did. You rationalize everything in your mind (swords) and do not leave your spouse. You do
not listen to your heart and you are hurt by your own decision. Not only are you hurt, but you hurt the other person
and probably your spouse by keeping secrets from them or by not allowing the situation to run its course.
The Three of Swords in a relationship can foretell of a breakup. It is the sorrow that results from someone
breaking your heart or you breaking someone else's heart.
Three of Swords as Feelings
You are feeling sad, sorrowful, and disappointed.
Three of Swords as Advice
Sometimes to grow we need to experience pain. Maybe you need to break up with someone that doesn't fulfill your
ultimate life plan. Maybe you have grown apart. Even though the break up is necessary for growth, it is painful and
will result in more joy later. You have to break up with the person.Another example could be parents sending their
child off to college or a boarding school. It's painful journey, but also joyful. (As a mother, I think it's mainly
painful...:) But this step is a necessary journey that your child will have to take in order to grow into an adult.
As advice, the Three of Swords reminds you that some of your life journey's require some amount of pain. Do not
hide from the pain. Use a Libra approach and try and balance your emotions and counter them with a loving heart.
Tarot can also be very blunt. The Three of Swords maybe advising you to break up with someone.

Four of Swords
If we follow the suit, we are just coming out of the Three of Swords hurt and betrayal into the Four of Swords. It
is now a time to rest. You may want to take a relationship break. It can indicate a relationship or work break. You
could also be ensnared in a troublesome mental battle of the wits, only to need the calmness that comes with rest.
The Four of Swords indicate a place of relaxation, contemplation, and meditation.
The Four of Swords is telling you that you can heal and restore yourself by silencing your mind. Life’s battles will
continue, but you cannot think of this right now. You remain silent, contemplative and ready to restore and heal
yourself until you fight again. This is the peace before the next stage. This is a time to restore yourself before
the next fight and to think about all that you are grateful for. You have survived the Three of Swords.
The Four of Swords can also indicate a funeral where the loved one is safe in the afterlife. He or she wants you to
know that they are in a good place now and that they love you very much.
The Four of Swords can indicate a time of intense meditation and induced astral experiences. You could have an
out-of-body experience, which usually precedes enlightenment. This happens through years of meditation.
The Four of Swords can also indicate a near death experience where you feel out-of-body.
The Four of Swords is about realigning yourself with high principles. Your higher self needs to meditate and
recuperate. Celibacy, time alone and any type of purge can be indicated.
Four of Swords in Love
In love, the Four of Swords is foretelling of a time where one or both of you need a break from your relationship.
It usually indicates a temporary break.

The Four of Swords can indicate comas and ICU. You or a loved one could possibly be in the hospital hooked up to
machines that are keeping you (or them) alive.
Four of Swords as an Action
The Four of Swords does not indicate an action. In fact, if you get this in the action part of a spread, you will
probably experience a period of physical inaction. If you are asking what your romantic love interests action will be
the Four of Swords is telling you that he/she is resting, contemplating and thinking about things. He or she may not
take a direct physical action towards you at this time.

Five of Swords
The Five of Swords has two meanings. You can feel like the man with all the swords or you can feel defeated like
the men who are walking away. Either way, no one is actually winning.
The Five of Swords may signal defeat. You may just want to throw down your swords and walk away from
something. You may have not realized that you needed to walk away from the beginning, but there comes a breaking
point. You may have reached a breaking point where you just don't want to fight anymore.
You maybe in a situation where someone is using slander, bribery or other unethical means to fight you. Someone
maybe gossiping and spreading false rumors.
The Five of Swords is a warning that you maybe the one who is gossiping. You maybe haughty and arrogant and use
any means possible to "win".
The Five of Swords can also be about thieves, con artists, and people who use any means possible to manipulate
situations.
The Five of Swords cautions against criminal behavior.
The Five of Swords advises you to walk away. There are no true winners in this battle.
Five of Swords in Love
Generally, when the Five of Swords turns up in regard to love, it means head games, lying and manipulative
behavior.
I think it's easier to explain the love angle of the Five of Swords by breaking down it's astrological
correspondence.
Venus in Aquarius brings in a difficult balance to any love relationship. First we have Venus, who wants love,
compassion and growth, while Aquarius brings in a lofty sense of individualism. Those two are at odds against each
other.
The Five of Swords can indicate that someone is very good with words. A couple may have playful banter and stay
up all night talking, but one person will play the role of the independent and free spirited Aquarius, while the other
person is wishing on Venus for this to be the one. Venus causes a smothering effect on Aquarius and the two may
not survive the relationship. There may be an effort on both sides to outwit and outsmart each other, but when
love is a game, no one wins.
Five of Swords as Feelings
You could feel like love is a game. You feel either manipulative or manipulated. You may feel outwitted and
outsmarted by someone who is quicker than you. The Five of Swords does not bring pleasant feelings at all!
Five of Swords as a Person
~ 67 ~
The Five of Swords can indicate sociopathic behavior or other mental illnesses. It could signal that someone you
know (or yourself) doesn't have compassion or guilt for any wrongful actions. It can even indicate someone with a
Narcissistic Personality Disorder or any of the DSM-V personality disorders.
But on a brighter side, someone who is a Five of Swords is someone who is good with words, witty, and intellectually
very shrewd. They maybe extremely competitive and enjoy competitive sports like tennis, golf or any sport that
focuses on the individual rather than the team.
A Five of Swords person can be very flighty in love and in general they may go from one activity or person quickly.

Five of Swords Reversed

Five of Swords and Nine of Cups:

Six of Swords
When the Six of Swords comes up in a reading it can indicate that sometimes the best way to end an emotional
situation is to move away from it. Times may have been emotional and rough, but you are slowly finding your way out
of a difficult situation, to calmer waters, where you are less emotional and more logical. Perhaps a friend can row
you in the right direction. Though, you may have to do this on your own.
The Six of Swords can indicate a catalyst for change. It can indicate that you have met someone that is about to
cause profound change.
You may even be trying to run away from your problems. But the turbulent water beside the woman and child, plus
the six swords stuck in the boat indicate that you can't really run away from your problems without solving them
first. The Six of Swords can indicate that you really need to look at the problem head on and fix it from the root.
Do not try to mask your problems with something else.
On rare occasions, the Six of Swords can also indicate death and funerals. This is because Mercury is the Greek
God that carried the souls of the dead back and forth from the earth to the underworld. He was borrowed by the
Romans and renamed Hermes.
Six of Swords in Love
~ 68 ~
The Six of Swords in romance and love may indicate that you are moving away from an old flame or past hurt. It
can indicate that while you are moving away or breaking up with someone, someone else may rush in to help heal your
past.
If you are asking about a potential love interest, the Six of Swords is like the potential lover getting in the boat
and leaving you behind. It may not work out. On the other hand, and if other cards support it, this person may act
as a catalyst for a needed life change. Whether or not you end up together is another question.
If you are in a relationship, at its most mundane level it can indicate a well needed vacation. Perhaps you need some
quality family time with the kids to heal and relax on the beach.
On the hand, if you are in a relationship and the Six of Swords comes up, you and your partner maybe having a few
conflicts, which will soon resolve themselves with or without a vacation.
Six of Swords as Feelings
If you are asking how a love interest feels about you, then they probably feel like running away from you. They
most likely aren't interested in you. They (or you) feel weighted down and heavy with thoughts and emotions.
Six of Swords on a Mundane Level

Seven of Swords
One of the main meanings for the Seven of Swords on a basic, mundane level indicates stealing, sometimes for the
rush of stealing and other times it is a well-designed and thought out plan. If you are the person who is in the
shadows, you may not even be aware of the thief, so stand guard over what you value whether it's your heart or
your possessions.
This might be someone who doesn't want to be honest and open. They don't prize communication, but would rather
run from the truth. The Moon in Aquarius brings in the dark, hidden side of the Moon. The side we never see from
Earth.
Seven is a prime and a single number. This indicates that you, and only you, are on this journey. You must be clever,
keen and acutely aware of your current situation.
The Seven of Swords can also indicate that a thief creates their own problems.
Seven of Swords in Love
This is a very unsavory card to get in a love reading. It indicates that someone is sneaking around behind you with
someone else. But they maybe clumsy about it. Looks for clues. Do they smell like a foreign perfume or cologne? Do
they work late, yet aren't accounted for at the office? Do they often have business dinner meetings? If yes,
someone maybe cheating on you.
If you are asking about a potential love interest, he or she probably wants to go at it alone. This is the soloist
card; the card of the lone wolf. You may also want to be very careful around this person. He or she is very shrewd
and cunning.
Seven of Swords as Feelings
You may feel a surge of cunningness or calculating behavior. You may even feel left out or attacked and are on the
offense. You feel shrewd, crafty, acute and perhaps even a bit crafty.
If you are asking about how someone feels about you, they may feel that you have slighted them. They feel that
you are someone who goes at it alone. You could be in a situation that makes you feel that the other person is
vengeful and an antagonist.
Seven of Swords as Advice
The Seven of Swords urges you to use your mind to escape a situation. You maybe stuck in a situation where you
need to be cunning. You may need to do some spying or searching to one up on someone else. The best defensive is
an offensive move. Make sure all your ducks are lined up before someone else comes in and attacks. The Seven of
Swords indicates a stealth like attack. You may not even realize there are other options for you when you are in a
tricky situation.
On a more positive note, the Seven of Swords can be helpful when you need to solve a puzzle or use your mind in a
different way. Thinking out side of the box should be your objective. This is a solo mission. Trust yourself and your
instincts.
Seven of Swords as an Action
When the Seven of Swords shows up as an action, then you (or someone you know), will end up investigating the
situation. Maybe you have a love interest, who feels the need to be indirect with you, so instead of being up front,
they ask round about questions. They might not even ask questions at all.
For example, say you work in the clothing industry. Someone wants to know where you work. They have already
confirmed a vagueness about your job from another friend, but no one is exactly sure what your role is, so instead
of asking, "Where do you work"? They start talking about how they are very interested in clothing design and
manufacturing. By doing this they are trying to prompt you to talk about your job and industry.

Seven of Swords Reversed
~ 70 ~
The Seven of Swords reversed can indicate a situation that catches you off guard. A sneaky, scheming plan you
may have had has fallen through. Someone else may have the upper hand and uses excessive lies to manipulate you
even further. You may start babbling and are caught completely off guard and blindsided.
On the other side, you may want honesty from a situation and get it. You realize how you've been duped the entire
time. A lover, friend or business associate could come clean about how they have manipulated you. You are now
mentally confused because your allies have turned against you and are really your enemies. This might be a good
time to channel your own inner upright Seven of Swords and turn the page against them.
On another level, it can indicate that a thief or criminal is caught. Look for the Reversed Seven of
Swords, Justice and Eight of Swords to indicate jail.

Eight of Swords Interpretation and Divination
The Eight of Swords can indicate anxiety. You maybe stuck in a situation where you can't seem to find your way
out and this creates a lot of anxiety and tension. You maybe running something over and over and over again in your
mind unable to free yourself from repetitive thoughts that do not serve your best interest.
The Eight of Swords can indicate confusion over a situation. You may not know where to go next or what your next
move is going to be, so you remain trapped and immobilized.
~ 71 ~
The Eight of Swords can indicate a woman in a bad situation. Slander, libel and gossip surround her. She maybe
publicly disgraced. Gag orders and censorship are probably in order to curb the horrible effects.
The Eight of Swords can be insomnia or staying up very late due to something distressful. It could be drug
addictions that keep you up late or obsessive thoughts.
The Eight of Swords can also indicate any kind of mental illness such as hypochondria and psychosomatic illness. Be
careful what you think and how you think about things. You can create your own circumstances with your words and
thoughts. For example, the universe does not negate sentences. When you say to yourself, "I am not going to get
cancer because I am eating right." All your body and cells hear is "I am getting cancer because I am eating right."
So on the other hand if you want to prevent a disease know that you are immune from the disease and have the
sense of knowing you are healthy. Just tell yourself something like, "I eat healthy because my body is a temple."
All eights in the minor arcana are related to the Strength card and the woman in Strength understands that evil
does exist. That is why she is able to tame the lion, which is a mighty, fierce and carnal animal. You must believe
that evil does exist and that you are not immune to its effects. Remember that one of the Devil's oldest trick is to
fool us into believing he doesn't exist.
Eight of Swords in Love
If you are already in a relationship, the Eight of Swords can indicate that there are power struggles in the
relationship. One person restricts and confines the other person. The other person may not be able to see the
relationship clearly either, but they prefer it that way.
If you are asking about a love interest, the Eight of Swords can indicate that it won't be a good match. You may
end up feeling anxious and worried.
Eight of Swords as Feelings
Someone is feeling confused, anxious and unable to move.
Eight of Swords as Advice
The swords can help you realize there is always a way out when using the intellect and mind. The mind is a powerful
tool and like the sword it is double edged. It can be used to trap you with anxiety and fear or it can be used to gain
confidence, knowledge, insight, and wisdom. Try using your mind to change the way you feel, to gain new
perspectives, and/or to evade an enemy.

Nine of Swords
The dreadful nightmare card creates a bleak picture of being completely trapped by your own self-induced
nightmares. You maybe in a situation that creates a great deal of stress.
The Nine of Swords can indicate depression whether it's clinical depression or just ongoing grief. It is a time of
sleepless nights laying up and worrying. It is inconsolable grief and despair. You believe that things cannot get any
worse.
The Nine of Swords can indicate a lot of weeping and crying. Any cause of grief and despair can cause the crying.
The weeping and state of despair usually comes at night where you have the entire night to think about things that
upset you.
The Nine of Swords is also called the nightmare card because it can be a card of nightmares and night terrors. A
night terror is a nightmare that you cannot wake from. You are aware that it is a dream and so you keep telling
yourself to wake up, but can't move. The dream may also be going in slow motion where you don't run fast enough to
outwit the bad guys. There are major demonic undertones to the dream. You may physically be sweating, waking up
in a blanket of damp fear. Screaming and crying are common while dreaming.
Nine of Swords in Love
If you are in a relationship and the Nine of Swords turns up, your relationship maybe causing you a lot of suffering
and worry. You maybe caught in a bad romance. Love can seem more like an insufferable disease that brings you
down. There can be doubt in the relationship. One or both of you could also be mental disturbed.
If you are single and looking for love, the Nine of Swords signals extreme fear about getting hurt. You maybe
manifesting the results through the power of your negative self-induced feelings.
Nine of Swords for Feelings
They think or feel that you are either a nightmare or in a situation that is a nightmare.
Nine of Swords as Advice
Something is causing you nightmares. Maybe it's a family member, a lover or a good friend. Whoever it is, needs to
be confronted. You need to talk things out. The Mars in Gemini part of the Nine of Swords tells you that you can be
aggressive about it verbally if you need be.

Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords translates as annihilation, scorn, back stabbing and the end of a situation. There is nothing left
to do. What is, is. This is the final ordeal. You won’t have to deal with this problem again if you face it head on,
which you will have to do. This is the end.
But often the querent does not accept this loss and continues to fight it only making the situation worse. There is
often lies, deceit and backstabbing. Many times the Ten of Swords can indicate someone who refuses to let go of a
situation that needs to die. They continually keep the ordeal going only to get stabbed over and over and over again.
They victimize themselves.
There is only one place to go when you are at the bottom and that is up. Try to look at things positively from here.
Let go and let the blood drain, the pain go away and move forward with your life.

The Ten of Swords in Love:
The Ten of Swords does not go well with love. If you are already in a relationship then the end is probably near. Be
careful because either both or one of you is going to be vindictive about the ending. There maybe some
backstabbing.

Page of Swords
I refer to the Pages as feminine, but "he" and "she" can be interchanged.
Page of Swords as a Person
As a person or child-like person, she is fascinated by the mind. She may love puzzles, chess, and figuring things
out. She may spend hours taking apart a phone and putting it all back together again. She has a good grasp over the
mind and emotion.
Page of Swords also carries a sword of justice and will cut right down to the heart of the matter. But like a double
edged sword, it can cut the wrong way. The Page of Swords usually isn't above vengeance and vindictive behavior.
This person has a tendency to complain and start conflicts where there doesn't need to be any. Page of Swords
has a tendency towards dissatisfaction.
Page of Swords in Love
If you are single and get the Page of Swords, you maybe searching the Internet for a date. The Page of Swords
can indicate that someone maybe spying on you to gather information. The Page of Swords in love can be defensive
and interrogative. If you are single, and can't figure out why stop to analyze your behavior. Are you critical,
haughty, ask too many personal questions?
If you are already in a relationship, the Page of Swords can indicate that your relationship maybe going through a
period of investigation. You could be fighting a lot, be suspicious, paranoid and on the offense.
Page of Swords as Feelings
You maybe feeling very defensive about someone or something.
If you get the Page of Swords in a love reading for the placement, "How does X feeling toward me?" they are
probably not into you. They are analyzing the situation from a distance to gauge whether or not you and them have
a long term potential. They feel distrustful, cautious and analytical.
Page of Swords as an Event
The Page of Sword can indicate that someone is spying on you. They could simply like you a lot or they could have
ill-intentions.
Page of Swords as a Message
The Page of Swords will relay it super-fast. They will get you the message in the quickest possible way. It will also
be a short message that may not be life altering and could simply be a juicy piece of gossip.
Electronic communications are favored. Anything to do with raw data that needs to be assimilated,
communications, and spying.
Page of Swords Obstacles
Rushing into a situation without thinking it through clearly. Often done in haste. This action could otherwise
thwart a situation unintentionally. Creating enemies where there need not be them. The Page of Swords maybe too
defensive and a counter attack is not a good idea.
If you are not the Page of Swords, look around for someone who is creating negative drama. Disengage from this
person. They are looking for a fight.

Knight of Swords
Knight of Swords as a Person:
A young person who is quick and moves very fast. The Knight of Swords is impatient. It could also denote a man or
woman who is immature.
The Knight of Swords may love game theory and the art of negotiation. The Knight of Swords will spend hours
strategizing, but because they are extremely self-absorbed they can end up not seeing a situation from different
angles. They then have a tendency to become rash, abrupt and self-serving.
When called out on his bad behavior or an incorrect assumption the Knight of Swords will usually resort to insulting
and name calling.
The Knight of Swords can have an anger problem, rebellious and be an anarchist. The meaning for the Knight of
Swords is very similar to the reversed meaning in my opinion.
Knight of Swords in Love:
If you are romanced by the Knight of Swords it will move very fast. It can definitely indicate quick whirlwind
romances. If you look closely you will see that there is a little heart on the reins of the horse. He or She maybe the
type that will feel the need to rescue a damsel in distress. His white horse says that his intentions can be pure of
heart. Don't underestimate this Knight to be "a prototypical hero of romantic chivalry."
Knight of Swords as Feelings:
The Knight of Swords is all about thinking and thinking turns into feeling. Before we have the thought, we have the
feeling. They are interconnected and very interchangeable. One is the conscious version and the other is the
subconscious version. I say this because I've heard a lot of people ask, "How does he feel about me?" and then
(perhaps they are not satisfied with that answer), "What does he think about me?"
Though I understand the minute difference between thinking and feeling. And I understand how these could be
perceived as different. Perhaps he/she thinks you are like the Knight of Swords, but they feel advancing rapidly.
But this position can answer the same question if we really meditate on it and look deeper into our own
subconscious. So if you ask, "How does he/she feel about me?" and the Knight of Swords comes up he certainly
feels something and it probably has to do with rescuing you, swiftly moving in, advancing rapidly. He has been
thinking a lot about you and now has feelings for you that are closer to his heart.
Knight of Swords as a Strength:

You or someone that is close to you is very sharp witted, logical, and has a masculine way of looking at things. You
can draw on this logical mindset to solve a problem or see a situation clearly without getting any emotions involved.
~ 77 ~
Knight of Swords as an Event:
As an event it can indicate war and suggests a military presence.
The Knight of Swords can foretell of a lawsuit.
Knight of Swords as Advice:
The Knight of Swords advises you to cut old ties and create new paths. You must do this rapidly and quickly. There
isn't any time to delay. You may need to pull an all-nighter and stay up getting everything done as efficiently and
quickly as possible.
Knight of Swords on Mundane Level:
Can indicate a thunderstorm or tornado that is unexpected.
Knight of Swords as a Profession:
Business Administrator. Fighter. Ruthless Soldier. Boxer. Fencer. Process Server. Bounty Hunter. Analyst.
Ambulance Chasing Lawyer. Police Officer. Wall Street Wolf.
The Knight of Swords Reversed:
Be scared when the Knight of Swords turns up reversed in a reading. This man may be some kind of sociopath. He
is cruel, uncaring and vile.
He may try and use violence and brute force to get what he wants. He is almost completely removed from
emotions, so be careful! He is arrogant, cocky, and decisive. Since his emotions are suppressed he is fearless and
has nothing to lose.
Like the upright Knight of Swords, he can be quick to anger. He can blow up over the smallest thing and become
violent. Throwing objects at you and getting into bar fights are some of his attributes.
When the Reversed Knight of Swords comes up in a reading, it can foretell of an unfair lawsuit. The suit could be
someone accusing someone else of something that is untrue or making up a grand story to getting money back. The
Reversed Knight of Swords could even make a living off suing people and taking advantage of litigious situations.
In love, he (or she) is the type that can break up with you on a whim and never think about you or the situation
again. In fact, they may not even have very deep feelings for you at all mainly because they aren't capable of having
such deep feelings.

Queen of Swords
Queen of Swords a Person
She is the king’s widowed sister. She is the only queen who is not married to her king. She rules the airy realm of
thoughts. She is sharp as a razor and can cut to the heart of a situation very quickly. She has a built-in bullshit
~ 78 ~
detector, to quote Hemingway. People who deceive her are in for a big surprise, because she loves the truth and is
quick with her sword. She might tell you what you don’t want to hear, but it will always be the truth. She is like
justice, she wants the truth above all else.
But beware for she can appear superior and a “know-it-all”. She can come off to others as cold and arrogant. She
has the least amount of friends, but is a good ruler. People fear her, but also accept her reign.
The Queen of Swords comes from a dark place where she has seen thge darker side of life. But she survived,
which makes her more swift and astute. Her experiences have built her.
Queen of Swords in Love
The Queen of Swords in love is a no nonsense woman. She loves with her mind almost all the time. Once she's made
up her mind that you are the one or you aren't the one, she sticks with that decision. If you are trying to get
involved with a Queen of Swords type, you must be as intellectual as her. A witty sense of humor and sarcasm
might make her warm up to you.
If you break the Queen of Swords heart, she may mourn for about five minutes before she picks herself back up
and finds other things to think about. She's not one to sit around and wonder where and what former lovers are
doing. She is mind over heart and will cut you out of her love life quickly if she feels it's getting too emotional.
The Queen of Swords doesn't bode well in a romantic reading. It may mean that you are friend zoned.
Queen of Swords Feelings
You or someone you know may feel indifferent to a situation. It can even signal the friend zone.
If you are asking about your romantic partner's love interest, the Queen of Swords isn't the most welcome card.
He or she feels aloof and calm. The sword she is carrying is dividing her heart, remember? In this sense, she is like
the Two of Swords without the blindfold. Her feelings for you are most likely there, but she (or he) won't come out
and say it. They are guarding their heart and there really isn't a way to get into it.
Queen of Swords Advice
The Queen of Swords urges you to take a calm and cool approach to a situation. Do what is good for everyone, not
just one person. Do not make a decision based on an emotional response. Remove your emotions all together. This
isn't the time to become overly emotional about someone or something.
Queen of Swords Professions
Lawyer. Writer. Educator. Scientist. Researcher. Surgeon. Doctor. Geneticist.
Queen of Swords Reversed
You don’t want to meet or know the reversed Queen of Swords. Her core is wicked. When she is reversed her
sword of truth and justice falls to the wayside and we may find criminal behavior. She does manipulative things to
people and usually for power or for fun. If this woman comes up in a reading be very, very careful. You may want to
distance yourself completely.
The Reversed Queen of Swords can indicate someone with a mental illness such as a personality disorder that
makes them devoid of empathy, compassion or honesty. They most likely have a blown up ego that only exists in
their head. They are the type of person who babbles on about how wonderful, magnanimous and smart they are
when they really aren't. They are unable to see past their own self induced mental prison. This is the type of
person who usually says something like, "She doesn't like me because she's jealous." When the reality is the person
doesn't like her because she's a back stabbing bitch.
The reversed Queen of Swords is usually a thief, con artist, gold digger and can even, on occasion, indicate a
murderous black widow.
Any reversed sword court card can indicate sociopathic behavior.

King of Swords
King of Swords as a Person
He is a mature man who rules with logic. He doesn’t have to appear superior or arrogant, but like to appear this
way. He is full of mental clarity and ideas. He rules over the air.
He can sometimes come off as cold and aloof. He can be loving and friendly, but remains distant and reserved.
He is a master of his own emotions and can use them as powerful tools to uphold the law. In fact, he doesn't delve
deep into his own subconscious feelings or dreams. He will always use his mind over his heart in all situations. He's
not one for sappy movies or romance stories. He will swiftly give justice to those he feels deserve it. People follow
him because of his power, his fairness, and his high standard of ethics.
He will be the first to go to war if he feels it is necessary, and others will follow. People follow him because they
know he is the best judge. He’s a general, whereas the King of Wands is the governor.
He is a judge and relishes in fairness. His fairness and ability to see all sides of a situation make him the go-to man
for most people, even other kings.
King of Swords as a Father
He doesn’t put his family first (the King of Cups does this), but he puts ideals and success first. He encourages
them to think for themselves. He is not the most sensitive of fathers. He just doesn't understand whining and
temper tantrums. He will often retreat or come back with harsh insults. He can be very cutting to small children,
but he always thinks he's being logical and cool.
As a father he probably thinks about himself above all else. What is good for him, is good for his children would be
his motto. He rarely understands his children's moods, but rest assured, when his children need back up he will help
them. He will be the father in the school office fighting for his children and backing them. Indeed, he will probably
win because of his amazing power of words and his discernment for justice and fairness.
King of Swords in Love
When you get the King of Swords in a love reading, it usually will indicate that there isn't any love in the air. (Do
you want to date someone who is constantly holding up a sword?)
If the King of Swords is a signifier in the reading (and not the energy of the reading) it will indicate that he needs
his intellect aroused more than anything else.
King of Swords as Feelings
The King of Swords doesn't like feelings. He may have been hurt in love in his younger days and now is cautious
about who to love and share his life with. He may have blocked out all feelings all together and only uses his
conscious mind to find solutions in love. The King of Swords doesn't bode well as feelings in a love reading. It
indicates that the person doesn't feel anything at all.

All aces are about the possibilities, but it's up to you to take the lead and run with them. Do not take this moment
for granted. It is the right time to get in touch with how you are feeling emotionally.
The Ace of Cups can indicate a burst of new emotions that maybe overflowing. It can be any intense emotional
feeling such as the love for a new baby, romantic love or the love you feel when you give a gift from the heart. You
may even have a fantastic new idea or creative expression that leaves you with overwhelming feelings and emotions.
The Ace of Cups can also signal a new baby or the conception of a new baby. It's the type of pregnancy that
results from the love of two people.
In the Ace of Cups, all those yods falling in the form of water look a lot like teardrops. It can represent crying

aspect to the advice that is also very simple if we look to the One Voice from above and silence our minds from any
sort of chatter.

meeting of the minds.

devoted time together. There will be an opportunity for you to take the Two of Cups and turn it into something
deeper.
If you are asking about an existing relationship and the Two of Cups pops up as the outcome, it may look like your
romance won't go beyond the initial stages of dating. I mention the word "stage" because the Two of Cups is a
"stage card." There are several more stage cards in the RWS deck. These indicate that things are put on as an act
and all is not what it seems.
These are the heedy, romantic times when puppy love fills your heart and you fail to see anything negative about
your partner. You love the way they look and can feel the chemistry together. But like most early romances, it has
to be able to stand the test of time. So the stage is set for you to be on your best behavior and dress your best.

Three of Cups Reversed
The Three of Cups Reversed and the Seven of Swords are both the thief cards, so theft of important items may
take place.
The Three of Cups Reversed can indicate a woman with loose moral values and a libertine way of thinking about
things. She may take advantage of innocent people.
The symbolism to the reversed Three of Cups is important and you have to take into account the cards were made
in 1911 and back then it was a taboo for a woman to dress in red. Let's take a closer look:
There are three women celebrating, but one of the women has her back faced to us. We might not think this is an
important detail because people gather in circles all the time, but there are other ways to draw three women
celebrating without seeing the back of someone. When someone has their back turned to us, we can't see what
they are doing. Words like "backstabber" and "he/she went behind your back" come to mind.
~ 84 ~
The woman in question is wearing a large red dress. The sheer size of her coat compared to the other coats is a
signal. One could fit many pilfered items into it.
During Waite's period in the turn of the century, red was a color that women, especially unmarried women, should
not wear. Respectable women should not wear red. Red wasn't always the power suit color that it is today.
There was a Bettie Davis movie called Jezebel where she is forced to wear a red dress during the American
antebellum period (mid-1800s). She is shamed and eventually loses her innocence, no one will talk with her and her
engagement is broken off. All over a red dress!

friend or spouse.
The Five of Cups urges you to see the light in the darkness. If you choose to see only the empty cups then it is
truly a loss, but you can turn around and see the open cups. You don't have to see the “glass half empty”, but “half
full”.
The bridge in the Five of Cups indicates that not all your bridges are burned. It can suggest that you need to take
some time out and reflect on your relationship. Not all is lost.
The Five of Cups can indicate that inheritances are not what they seem. You may not be getting all the inheritance
that you deserve.
Five of Cups in Love:
~ 86 ~
When a breakup happens it usually happens because there is trouble in a relationship. Trouble can brew because of
a lack of love or even physical and/or emotional abuse. Perhaps the breakup was a good thing. The Five of Cups
indicates that your relationship was imbalanced and now you can move away and correct the imbalances.
Five of Cups as Feelings:
You (or someone you are asking about) is feeling regret, remorse or loss. You maybe regretting how a situation
turned out and would like to rectify things. Someone can even feel left out from the loop or community.
Five of Cups as Advice
As a "half full vs half empty" card, we have two sets of advice depending on the situation. You can chalk up the
experience to a learning experience and walk to better days. Or you can analysis what went wrong in a break down
so that you can understand it better.
If you are in a relationship, the advice also maybe simply to break it off with someone. Or it maybe telling you not
to look at the negative side of a situation, but to see it in a more positive light. So stop focusing on all the negative,
dreary things and think about all the good you have in your life! Because I know you do! No matter how bad it is, you
can take refuge in a beautiful sunset or a family memory that makes you feel good.

Six of Cups
~ 87 ~
The Six of Cups represents any memory we have that creates a sense of familiar joy in our lives. It is a feeling of
your childhood's sunniest days. A Six of Cups moment could be seeing a similar quilt that your mother made for sale
in a shop. You buy the quilt because it brings back strong, warm memories of curling up with your mother
underneath it while she read to you.
This familiarity echos back to the Six of Cups being a soul mate or past life card. You meet someone you know
from a previous existences and you feel a sense of calm wonder. You know this person from somewhere else. You
will have a strong positive karmic attraction to each other. They will be very beneficial and kind to you. They may
help you in some way.
The Six of Cups can indicate gift giving. Flowers could arrive from your spouse or a loved one. The Six of Cups is
the Mother's Day card.
The Six of Cups may indicate that a childhood friend or sweetheart will return.
You could connect with someone on a chakra level whereas you connect with each other on an energetic level. It's
the blending of harmonies with the number six adding in balance, reciprocity, correlation, symmetry and equilibrium.
Added that it's position is in Tipareth, the Sixth Sepiroth, we get beauty and kindness as well.
The Six of Cups can suggest that someone will make you an offer you can't refuse.
One of the other main meanings of the Six of Cups are children. It speaks of taking care of your kids, elementary
schools, and the love you feel and have for your kids.
Six of Cups as a Person
As a person, the Six of Cups as a signifier denotes someone who is sweet, kind and calming or at least they make
the querent feel that way. They may always come bearing gifts of some kind. This person is very resourceful and
crafty. They maybe very good at making their own clothing, jewelry or flower arrangements.
They can be very naive and sometimes act child-like if not occasionally childish. But they make up for this with
their random acts of kindness. This is the type of person that is always there for you when you need them. If you
ask the Six of Cups person to help you with something they will go above and beyond helping and bring their A game.
They wouldn't even think twice about it. They believe that is just part of life.
The Six of Cups as a signifier denotes someone who either has children or loves children. They probably also love
animals and most likely have a dog, cat or even horses.
The Six of Cups as a persons may be telling you that this person comes from a long line of "old money." But you
never get the feeling that they think they are better for it than anyone else. In fact, they feel the opposite and
feel eternally grateful. Maybe that's why they want to help everyone.
If your querent pulls this card as a signifier for a love interest, than the querent feels a soul connection to this
person. The Tipareth aspect to the Sun in Scorpio means that the person could be very beautiful or at least dress
and present themselves in a manner that is stylish, elegant and beautiful. Underneath the lovely children in this
card, the aspect of Scorpio tells us that this person may exude a type of sexual appeal and an air of mystery to
them.
Six of Cups in Love
The Six of Cups in love is a warm, fuzzy feeling of knowing. Your lover may make you feel as if you have known
them all your life. They may remind you of your cousins or siblings, thus creating a warm, calm assuring feeling.
If you are looking for love and the Six of Cups turns up, it could indicate that someone from your past will come
back for a surprise visit.
It is often referred to as one of the soul mate cards because of it's relevance to the Lovers card, Key 6.
Six of Cups as Feelings
When the Six of Cups turns up in the "feelings" placement, someone feels a warm, knowing, joyous feeling. They
may feel there is something that they know about you that they may not be able to place their finger on. You
remind them of something from the past that is good. Maybe you look like a girl from their village across the sea
and this creates a feeling of comfort.
Six of Cups as Advice
~ 88 ~
In general as advice, the Six of Cups urges us to look at something from the past that makes us feel good. You'll
need to utilize something that was once familiar to you perhaps from your childhood. So if you need help, you may
need to ask your mother, father or sister. Maybe a relative that you haven't thought of in a while. They maybe of
great help to you.
If you are asking about advice on love matters, the Six of Cups asks you to be sweet, kind and tender. Bake a cake,
end flowers or a sweet emoji.
The Six of Cups echoes that someone from another life is making their way back to us. The advice would be to
draw a memory from your subconscious that has been resting and use this piece to stir something in someone that
has been forgotten.
Six of Cups as the Outcome
For the question, "Will he/she come back to me?" and you get the Six of Cups, it can also indicate on some
occasions that someone comes back into your life from the past. You finally get the "girl that got away." The only
way this card will work out well in the outcome or near future position is if you had good memories with them. If
you had a big fight or falling out then as an outcome it will indicate that you will only be left with sweet memories.
If you just started dating someone and get the Six of Cups as the outcome be prepared for sweet times together.
This indicates a period of mutual love, generosity between partners and a time of pure romance speckled with
innocence.
If you are in a relationship and you get the Six of Cups in the outcome period, expect to be given flowers or for
your relationship to be strengthed. It can even indicate that you will have children soon.
If your outcome/near future doesn't have to do with romance, the Six of Cups can indicate that memories from
the past are looked back upon. You prefer to only think of a certain person in a good way and forget about any pain
this person may have caused you. You hand select only the positive memories and hold on to them.
Depending on the situation and surrounding cards, children are usually involved whether it be your own or memories
about your own childhood. Even your neighbors kids or babysitting jobs.

Seven of Cups
The Seven of Cups warns not to give in to temptation, seduction, or addiction. These are temporary and not built
on a solid foundation. The Rider-Waite version of these cards shows seven cups filled with different choices. The
~ 89 ~
cups are floating in the clouds. The clouds represent illusion and the choices are our choices in everyday life. Make
sure these choices, (having an extramarital affair, drinking too much) are not temporary, but everlasting.
The Seven of Cups indicates being intoxicated with illusion, glamour, daydreams, and castles in the sky that you
cannot see reality. This can also indicate drug addiction because when we are high, nothing is clear. Nothing is real.
Illusions are easily built.
The Seven of Cups can indicate having no direction because of too many choices. Perhaps you are sitting around
daydreaming too much.
The Seven of Cups can indicate that your financial position maybe built on false beliefs about money.
The Seven of Cups is similar to the Devil and the Moon.
The Seven of Cups in Love
In regard to love the Seven of Cups suggests that you are daydreaming about something that isn’t there. This
might be the "He's just not that into you," card. You’d rather be wrapped up in fantasy and illusion.
Another approach to the Seven of Cups in love can indicate that you are falling in love to fast. It can be an illusion
when you do this. It isn't built on anything solid and you have a feeling of "walking on air". Love like this usually ends
as quick as it starts.
The Seven of Cups as Feelings:
You are feeling in love with someone or something that is probably just a fantasy. It's the feeling we get when we
fall head over heels in love with someone, but we know nothing about this person.
You may also be feeling like you have too many choices and all of them look good. It's like going into your favorite
restaurant and not being able to decide between which meal to order, so you end up order two appetizers, one
entree, order for your spouse so you can share with them and finish that off with a dessert. You order too much
food and get to take it all home in a doggie bag for later.
Seven of Cups as Advice:
As advice, the Seven of Cups could be dependent on its Venus in Scorpio aspect. Rely on your sexy, seductive side
to spice up your life.
The Seven of Cups as an Action:
When the Seven of Cups shows upright, it could end up being a card of inaction. A person tries to fit all the
options into their life and ends up making a mess.
When this card comes up as the action you should sit back and really think about what you want because not all
those choices are good ones.
The Seven of Cups Reversed as an action could very well foretell that you take your daydreams, meld them into one
path and choose that path. When the Seven of Cups is reversed it's a good card for action because it symbolizes
that the querent does end up taking action.
The Seven of Cups Professions:
Painter. Conductor. Orchestra. Plumber. Magician.
The Seven of Cups Reversed:
The Seven of Cups Reversed indicates an ending to the illusions. It corresponds directly to the emotional state of
the Chariot: having control and direction.
In love, the Seven of Cups Reversed can signal unrequited romantic feelings.
The Seven of Cups Card Combinations:
Seven of Cups and Hierophant
 Dreaming about marriage
Seven of Cups and Lovers:
 Many choices regarding love
 Being swept up by love
Seven of Cups and Moon:
 Madness
 Creativity fueled at night
Seven of Cups and Seven of Wands:

Seven of Cups and Four of Pentacles:
 Protecting yourself against illusion
 Even though you have a lot to work on, you should keep consistent.
This is the way to succeed.
Eight of Cups
When the Eight of Cups turns up in a reading, you may want to walk away from a situation. The Eight of Cups may
indicate a circular journey. It can indicate that while you presently feel like walking away from a situation, you
maybe returning. Therefore, the cups will be there for you when you return. Perhaps when you return, you will fill
nourished and relaxed from your time spent away. You might find the cups useful to you when you return.
The Eight of Cups may also indicate that you need to sober up. You have wasted your time on drinking, drugs, or
people who are useless to you. You have realized that now, and turned your back on those artifices.
The Eight of Cups can also indicate travel, especially long travel plans. You may need to spend all summer
vacationing in a foreign country. When you return you have developed better cultural skills and may have learned
another language. The Eight of Cups suggests learning something new that you wouldn't have if you stay.
Eight of Cups in Love:
The Eight of Cups is one of the break up card. You may have realized that your relationship is not fulfilling.
Instead of staying in an unhappy relationship you decide to move on and look for something else.
On the other hand, the number 8 can refer to someone who will eventually come back to you (or you to them). It's
similar to the Four of Swords as a break up card that indicates you just need time away, but the relationship isn't
over. But in the case of the Eight of Cups, this break away period can last several months or possibly years.
During a dinner one night, I gave a relationship reading to a couple who got the Eight of Cups in the past position. I
asked, "Did you know each other before?" The woman exclaimed, "Yes, we knew each other in high school, but it
didn't work out and then 30 years later fate brought us back together."
Though, please be warned! Just because you get the Eight of Cups and you do break up with your sweetheart, don't
just sit away waiting for him or her to come back. The journey you will need to transverse is just as important for
your development.
Eight of Cups as Feelings:
You are feeling empty inside despite the upright cups. You just aren't getting enough out of your life or the
situation that you are in. You feel like there maybe something more out there and you want to experience that or
find it. You may feel like taking a quest to find your lost cups or the create new cups and emotionally fulfilling
experiences.
So if you are asking, "How does X feel towards me?" and the Eight of Cups pops up, X is probably feeling like
taking a break from the relationship. They also may feel like even though you match and complement each other
there is a feeling that you or they need and want something that you aren't getting emotionally. As a feeling the
Eight of Cups indicates feeling barren, empty and a deep void that you cannot fill under the present circumstances.
You may also be feeling abandoned by someone you love. They might be the ones taking that long walk away from
you.
Eight of Cups as an Obstacle:
The Eight of Cups can bring up issues with abandonment. These issues should be looked at closely because they can
hinder new relationships from blossoming. Perhaps you had a parent walk out on you as a child and have never been
able to deal with the feeling that you aren't good enough or you have the idea that all people eventually leave. You
~ 91 ~
have lost your faith in human compassion. The upright cups remind you that not all is lost. Do not lose faith in
people.
As an obstacle the Eight of Cups can indicate that you spend too much time walking away from all the good in your
life and refuse to see it. You are always on some quest to find something new and fulfilling, while not realizing what
is in front of you. Perhaps you have absolutely great friends and family, but you seem to think you can find better.
You can't possibly see the joy that they already give you.
Wanderlust taken to the extreme can be indicated when the Eight of Cups comes up as an obstacle. This might be
especially relevant if the Fool comes up in the reading as well. You may run away from family obligations and travel
the world, only to discover that what you left behind had joy and happiness in it.
In a romantic context, the Eight of Cups can indicate someone who runs from relationships. Once they develop
feelings for someone they run the other way afraid of getting hurt. Look for the Eight of Swords to confirm this.
Eight of Cups as Advice:
The advice is very clear when the Eight of Cups presents itself in your reading. It indicates that there is
something that needs to cut out of your life and the advice is to walk away completely from it. The good news is
that whatever you are abandoning will lead to happier times and even a spiritual renewal or awakening.
Eight of Cups as an Outcome:
I will illustrate a case example from a reading that I did where the Eight of Cups came up as the outcome.
I got this card in a reading for a very wealthy woman who felt miserable in her marriage. She didn't exactly know
why, since she had everything a person would want, right? She drove a nice car, entertained powerful friends, and
had beautiful, well mannered children, but deep inside she was empty. Her husband never allowed her to make any
real choices. She had to do exactly what he wanted from her at all times. When she complained about his
relationship with his beautiful secretary and how many nights that they spent out at dinners he replied, "That's my
business. Don't interfere with it. You're ungrateful for everything that I have given you."
She replied, "But I have no choice in the matter. I request that you get a new secretary. I'll pick out the
secretary and since the kids are in their teens now, I can be your secretary." He told her in a smug tone, "You can't
handle a being a secretary. I need you here at the house to manage things. You have lots of choices. I let you pick
out the movies we watch and I always eat what you serve for dinner."
And with those words, she took her children, filed for divorced and moved back overseas to Europe where she was
from.

Nine of Cups
If you are asking just one question and you get this card in the upright position, then your answer is a definite yes.
Sometimes "yes" can come at a high price. You may be very emotional satisfied at this point in your life, at least
you think you are. There is also a bit of loneliness in this card as well. There is something hidden that you refuse to
see because of all the happiness around you. The Nine of Cups can warn you not to count all your chickens before
they hatch.
But lets be honest, this man looks a little to smug. You could be wishing for the perfect girlfriend or boyfriend.
Lets say you dream of a sexy trophy wife and find her. She looks a lot like your ex-wife, but ups the sex appeal
100%. Whereas your ex-wife kept you going with intellectual conversations and matched your future goals, this new
girlfriend lacks all of that. She's lazy, lacks intellectual insight and doesn't apply herself. You may get what you
wished for, but it comes with a downside. Looks are not everything and what lies under that blue curtain is actually
a dirty folding table.
On a lighter note, the Nine of Cups can indicate social functions, banquet dinners and holiday parties. This is a
good card for a successful party planner who is content on being single. Perhaps she works hard at creating an
environment where other people are happy and content. The Nine of Cups reminds me of the Jennifer Lopez movie,
"The Wedding Planner". She thinks she is so happy in her perfect world where everything is neat, organized and
successful, but when she falls in love with the groom she realizes that love is the missing key to her true happiness.
Nine of Cups in Love:
If you are looking for love, the Nine of Cups suggests that you find emotional contentment within yourself first.
If you are already in a relationship, the Nine of Cups suggests that you are very happy and content with what you
have.
Nine of Cups as a Feeling:
You could be feeling content, happy as a lark, fulfilled, and satisfied. If you are asking how a romantic love interest
feels about you, then they feel very satisfied with you. They think you are beautiful and everything that
they think that they want.
Nine of Cups Professions:
Bartender. Shop Owner. Party Planner. Wedding Planner. Event Manager. Restaurant Owner. Upscale Restaurant.

Nine of Cups Reversed:
The Reversed Nine of Cups can indicate drinking too much. You can be putting on a happy face and literally
sweeping everything under that blue table cloth. You could be desperately trying to keep up appearances and will go
to great lengths to keep them up.
The Nine of Cups reversed can suggest theft, bribery and immoral acts. The truth could very well be hidden under
that long blue table cloth.

Ten of Cups
Family happiness is a sure thing if you get the Ten of Cups. It can foretell of long nights spent with your family
doing craft project or watch family movies together. You enjoy making meals together and they taste so good
because they come from your heart. It can indicate that you are very happy doing all these things together. The
Ten of Cups is the perfect description of family unity and happiness.
The Ten of Cups is the emotional contentment card. Find yourself lucky if you get this card.
The Ten of Cups is also about family, extended family and communities. You could be spending the summer with
relatives at a summer home while enjoy the simple bliss of life.
Ten of Cups in Love:
The Ten of Cups can suggest that you are coming together with another person as a family. You both might have
children from previous relationships, thus the Ten of Cups can indicate adopting kids. The Ten of Cups can also
suggest that you and your spouse are a perfect family and have beautiful children of your own. Family happiness is
assured when you get the Ten of Cups.
Tens can indicate an excessive of each suit, not necessarily the culmination. In the Ten of Cups we see us dreaming
of the fantasy where wishful thinking and price charming stories play a big role. Be careful not to lose yourself in
over idyllic fantasies and stories. There maybe a tendency to over idealize a situation before it happens.
Ten of Cups as Feelings:
If you are asking how someone feels towards you, then the Ten of Cups assures you that they feel completely
emotionally content. They are in love with you for sure. They feel happy, secure and emotionally fulfilled.
Ten of Cups as an Obstacle:
For such a happy card, how can it look like an obstacle? The beauty of tarot is that each card has a negative and
positive aspect. We learned this back in the High Priestess, who showed us that everything in life is a polarity of
opposing opposites that are actually one aspect of the same force.
When the Ten of Cups comes up in the obstacles or crossing position of your reading, it can indicate that you feel
trapped in a relationship and may want a divorce.
It can also indicate that you are caught up in the emotional Pisces world of dreams and fantasies of the fairy tale
marriage and family that you aren't seeing the reality of the situation. Pisces has a tendency to get lost in reverie
and without action you cannot make the dreams concrete. You maybe spending too much time dreaming about the
perfect relationship that you aren't allowing viable options to blossom.
~ 94 ~
If you are in a relationship, you maybe ignoring that the relationship isn't fulfilling you on a spiritual or emotional
level. Maybe you have the perfect house, a great car and a devoted husband or wife, but deep down you are
discontent. The Ten of Cups warns you that as an obstacle to your happiness you need to examine the root of the
situation and find out if you are really happy where you are or if you are just caught up in the illusion of what you
think the perfect relationship should look like.
Ten of Cups Professions:

Queen of Cups
Combines the feminine nature of water with water. Queens are elementally related to water as are cups. This
means the Queen of Cups is water and water. There is a tendency to be completely submerged in feeling and
emotions. There is a tendency to listen to your heart and emotions over anything that you maybe thinking. This
could be good or bad, depending on the situation.
When the Queen of Cups turns up in a reading, it urges you to listen to your intuition. The Queen of Cups is all
about the subconscious. This is where you will get the most out of using her wisely. Your subconscious feelings may
not even reach your conscious level, so you react through the subconscious. This can lead to problems with reality
and issues with self-awareness if not recognized.
Queen of Cups as a Person:
She is ruled by emotions, art, and creativity. She can get lost in her own world though. She is prone to fantasy and
lacks motivation at certain times. She is extremely sensitive. This makes her a very good friend because she listens
with all her heart. She isn't a problem solver, but an emotional support system. The Queen of Cups would make a
good therapist. You are lucky if you have her as a friend.
Stereotypically, she is one of the more beautiful queens. She has a feminine quality to her, which is usually done up
with makeup and beautiful clothing. She will probably have a good fashion sense.
Queen of Cups as a Mother:
She will put her husband before her children. She believes that a happy family starts with a happy marriage. She
will be a good mother though. She allows her children to grow up around the arts. She encourages daydreams and
~ 98 ~
fantasies. She may read to them a lot and encourage reading fantasy novels. She loves art projects and artistic
endeavors.
Queen of Cups in Love:
She is dreamy and romantic. She usually loves with all her heart and is prone to monogamy. She often fantasizes
about soul mates and twin souls. She can create an entire world around her and her lover that doesn't exist in
reality. When talking about her spouse, she may say things like, "We were meant to be together. I just know we
met in another life. I have reincarnated back to Earth because I am suppose to help him. We are destined to be
together."
The type of men that are attracted to her will typically be those who think she needs "saving" because she
understands vulnerability. Because of her watery nature, she really needs someone grounded and stable. Her
subconscious attitude is best aligned with a man who can bring in a masculine level of consciousness to balance her
out.
Queen of Cups as Feelings:
If you are asking how he or she feels about you, the Queen of Cups lets you know that they feel like softly, slowly
and dreamily falling in love with you. There feelings are in the subconscious phase right now though, so they may not
even be aware of how they are feeling or why. They most likely have been dreaming about you.
They may also think you are very beautiful, as the Queen of Cups is one of the more beautiful court cards.
Queen of Cups as an Obstacle or Crossing Card:
The Queen of Cups could get you in trouble emotionally. She can be very vulnerable and sensitive. With Cancer as
her ruling sign and the way she is fixated on her cup, she can have a tendency to obsess over something.
Queen of Cups as Advice:
When you pick the Queen of Cups, she is telling you to feel your emotions and understand them. Your emotions are
attached to your intuitive nature and the Queen of Cups urges you to listen to them.
If you can dream it, it can be contained and yours.

about it.

Queen of Cups Reversed:
When the Queen of Cups is reversed we see drinking and drugs. She can be very emotionally manipulative. She is
not afraid of scandal or intrigue so beware if you get involved with her. She just may turn your world upside down.
Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby reminds me of the reversed queen of cups. It’s all about her and with it she
leaves a wake of broken hearts, broken homes, and broken romance. She is a woman who has never really loved
because she doesn’t know how to love herself. She confuses love and sex and uses sex to get what she wants.
Pleasure from sex results from the control or domination or submission or emotional aspect, but never love.
The Queen of Cups is highly volatile and emotional. She can be turbulent, yet peaceful at other times. She doesn’t
act practically or rationally. Everything is built around how she feels at the time. She often confuses emotions with
true psychic ability. She lives in a fantasy world. This is the queen who most often doesn’t even know herself. Other
people always have a different opinion than the opinion of herself. She and the Queen of Wands love drama. Acting
is definitely indicated. If not an actress then this queen loves to dramatize in her head about who she is and the
reality of this all. She often has a misguided interpretation of situations based primarily on how she is feeling at
the moment. She is all about the moment. She is the least practical of all queens and the least mature.

King of Cups
Like his queen, the King of Cups is highly emotional, but his emotions are less transparent. He has learned to keep
them under control even though there maybe a molten lava of emotional eruption inside him. Indeed, this king is the
more emotional of the four kings of tarot. We can see the rough, choppy sea behind him. The water is the
subconscious, which rules the world of emotions.
His emotions make him an excellent artist where he can tap into his creative juices. Anywhere you find artistic
creation such as photography, painting, graphic design, you will find the King of Cups.
The spark of fire and element of water bring new creative projects and ideas into your life when you get the King
of Cups in a reading.
King of Cups as a Father:
The King of Cups is a man who puts his family first. He makes an excellent dad. If you want a great dad, you want
the King of Cups. Because he is so in touch with emotions, he can fine tune them to deal with his children. This is
~ 100 ~
the type of man who always yearned to marry his true love and make the perfect family with her. He is a faithful
man who will always stand beside his children and wife no matter what. He often knows what his children need and
want before they do. He is a great listener and his calming manner helps guide his children in the right direction.
King of Cups in Love:
The King of Cups in love will love you to his last dying breath. He is passionate and very romantic. When the King of
Cups comes up in a love reading, know that he does have his eyes set on you. Though it may take him sometime to
come over and talk to you. He maybe shy at first. He may have created an entire romantic relationship in his mind
even before you and him meet.
Be prepared to be worshiped with love letters, boxes of chocolates, jewelry, and home cooked meals full of love.
The downside to the King of Cups in love is that he is prone to lying and creating fantasies. He may daydream about
you more than he actually makes plans to see you. He is also prone to drugs and alcohol either upright or reversed.
King of Cups as Feelings:
If you get the King of Cups as "what X feelings towards me?" then they have their eyes set on you. They feel a
very strong feeling of love that surpasses a mere crush. They may even get butterflies at first and there could be
some contradictions. Like he/she may look away breathlessly while talking to you. Don't let that fool you. They are
just nervous and may take some time to warm up. But once the King of Cups knows his/her feelings are reciprocated
then they will feel at total ease.
In general other feelings that could come up are calmness, understanding, compassion and sympathy.
King of Cups in Career:
Water and emotions don't bode well in a reading about career. I would be careful in a career reading if the King of
Cups came up. It's all a turbulent water of subconscious emotions behind him. His shifty eyes and piece of cold,
gray throne he sits on look like they are in dire need of help. Yet there he impassively sits.
Be careful of a man coming to you pretending to help. He can have bad motives. The King of Cups can be
manipulative in business and use subconscious manipulative ploys.
I had to do business with a man and a wife who were always coming up as the King of Cups and Reversed Queen of
Cups. At one point, the King of Cups told me, "I told the investor that I was very ill and dying to put pressure on
the sale. Then I got my wife to cry a lot on the phone."
Once I dug deeper, I realized that these two had a long, long history of duping, stealing, lying and moving around.
King of Cups as Advice:
The King of Cups advises you to take a deep look into your emotions. He suggests that you calm any turbulent
feelings that you may have. Meditation or a calming bath would help you at this time.
Getting the King of Cups as advice suggests that you are going through something turbulent, so this king suggests
that you take a deeper look into your emotions and why you are feeling this way. You may even want to seek the
help of a counselor.

Two of Pentacles
The most simple interpretation for the Two of Pentacles is the juggling of two projects. You work on one project
and when a section is completed you go to your other project. These two projects are constantly moving up and

have a very stabilizing effect on them and the people around them. They have lucky Jupiter on their side, winning it
all one day and losing it the next, but this makes them very adaptable people, learning quickly from any mishaps.

might otherwise seem unbearable. They may especially like satire and dark comedies.

NOT work together and things went a little bumpy
because of it. But as the Wheel of life dictates, it worked out
okay. The situation worked out fortunately well.
Three of Pentacles and World:
Finishing a group project
Getting to a new level on the project you've been working on
together.

Four of Pentacles
The Four of Pentacles main meaning is the inability to let something or someone go. It's holding on to something
whether it be money, a secret or a person. It can indicate obsession.
You also maybe very thrifty with your money and refuse to spend any penny. You reuse and pinch pennies whenever
you can. You may even hoard items and never let anything go. You keep every little memento and even think about
keeping old shoe boxes so you can reuse them later.
The Four of Pentacles can describe someone who guards their heart. They don't want to let anyone in emotionally,
so they fill it with work, money, power, which they think brings them stability. They won't reveal their cards until
you reveal yours. And if you do reveal your feelings they may not reveal theirs anyway.
You maybe working hard to get the financial success that you desire. When you get the Four of Pentacles in a
reading know that success is yours. You have built a solid financial structure which is strong and grounded for
success. The Four of Pentacles suggests that you have the business spirit. But like the four's, this is only the
beginning of stage one. There maybe a tendency to obsess over money and work while ignoring matters of the
heart.
Four of Pentacles in Love:
In love the Four of Pentacles can go either way:
In love in can represent a controlling spouse. They may even view you as a possession or commodity and not want to
share you with anyone else. You maybe viewed as the "trophy". They may need to "know" everything, but they do not
reciprocate. They need to know where you are and what you are doing. If you are stuck in traffic and running late,
they may call and demand to know where you are and why you are late in an accusatory voice. They are insecure, but
hide their insecurity behind power struggles. They are so afraid to open up completely because they never want to
be vulnerable. They live in a fear, but are afraid to even acknowledge their fear. Look for the King of
Pentacles reversed to support this. It's common for the Two of Swords to also show up in a reading along with the
Four of Pentacles as a supporting card.
But in love it can also represent stability. You are the pentacle to them. They love you and only you. They want to
be closed off from the world for the weekend and just hug you. You probably love these types of relationships. You
don't want to feel "free". You two are the type that love being in the relationship zone. Spontaneity and a high
romance full of dramatic sexual interludes are NOT your thing. You prefer stability, comfort and mutual closeness
more than anything else. You will always do what you say and so does your partner. You are reliable in a relationship.
But be careful if the Devil shows up along side the Four of Pentacles because in this instance it may mean obsessive
relationships that end up not being healthy.
~ 106 ~
If you are not in a relationship and are asking about a potential relationship, you may keep insisting that they will
be yours someday. You keep holding on to the idea of them. You maybe very structured in your thinking. The Four
of Pentacles can indicate being a little obsessed with a person or an idea. You just can't seem to let it go. You look
straight ahead and ignore other options. You have to realize that they may not really be interested in you or they
are closing their heart and mind off to you. If the Eight of Pentacles comes up they are hard at work and may not
be thinking about love.
Four of Pentacles as Feelings:
You may feel closed off from your romantic option. You want to keep your feelings to yourself and do not feel like
sharing. On the other hand, you may feel obsessed about someone and can't get them off your mind.
Four of Pentacles as Advice:
Four of Pentacles is advising you to hold on to your money. Save and don't spend at all. Think of creative ways to
pinch pennies right now.
Four of Pentacles on a Mundane Level:
On a mundane level the Four of Pentacles can indicate that someone wants to hug you or you want to hug someone.
Four of Pentacles Professions:
Banker. Driver. Miser. Midwife. Real Estate Building. Leader. Broker.
Four of Pentacles Reversed:
The Four of Pentacles reversed is when you finally let go. You may let go of blocking your heart in regard to a
relationship and try and open up a little bit.
On a negative side of letting go, you could sell off stocks, bonds or commodities. You let go of the materialism that
could possibly be keeping you in chains.
Four of Pentacles Card Combinations:
Four of Pentacles and the Devil
 Holding on to a vice whether it be drugs, sex or gambling
 Obsessive over a romantic partner with the inability to let go.
Four of Pentacles and Six of Wands:

Five of Pentacles
The Five of Pentacles could represent being on the outside and looking in. You see the things you want: friends,
family, children, a spouse, new clothing, but you can't get to them. You see other people with the things you want,
but you just can't see to get past that glass ceiling.
Economic downturns are indicated by the Five of Pentacles. The housing bubble burst or the great depression are
good examples of someone experiencing a Five of Pentacles moment.
It can also represent being spiritually lost because of financial situations that take up all your time. You need to be
financially secure before you can develop spiritual awareness. How can you possibly have the time to develop any
spiritual awareness when you are outside in the cold weather without a place to prosper?
But remember the moral to the Aesop fable when you see this card show up. It can also indicate a marriage that
will work itself through. It can indicate that you do have a strong plan, but you are taking the longer way around it.
The Five of Pentacles also stands for perseverance that only you can see, since only you have the plan.
Five of Pentacles in Love
~ 107 ~
The Five of Pentacles could indicate that you feel rejected by a love interest. This person probably looks down
upon you, so they aren't a good match anyway.
If you are already in a relationship, the Five of Pentacles could indicate that you and your partner will make it
through thick and thin. It might even strengthen your relationship.
Five of Pentacles as Feelings
You may feel left out and rejected. You get the feeling that you are on the outside looking in.
Five of Pentacles As Advice
The Five of Pentacles advises you to keep to yourself. From a financial standpoint, the Five of Pentacles urges you
to keep your finances straight. Don't over spend or you could be out in cold.
Five of Pentacles As an Action
The Five of Pentacles tells you that you should wait a little bit. It's a non action card. So just keep walking by.
Don't go in. Don't change anything up because change is coming in its own time. In general it is a, "no."
Five of Pentacles in Health
The Five of Pentacles can even foretell broken bones and slow healing times. It can indicate that you are not taking
very good care of your health.
Five of Pentacles as an Event or Situation
The Five of Pentacles can warn that you maybe evicted from your home.
Five of Pentacles on a Mundane Level
The Five of Pentacles could indicate a slow download time on your computer.
You could also be caught in a winter storm or busy preparing for a blizzard.
Five of Pentacles Professions
Chimney Sweeper. Maid. Nurse. Church. Snow Plow Driver.
Five of Pentacles Reversed
The Five of Pentacles Reversed can indicate a short-term marriage that ends badly. You may have married
someone for material gain or material comfort. You may have thought it was easier to share your material troubles
with someone else. Rent was cut in half, the car payment was shared, etc. You may have been pressured into
marriage because the "time was now or never." It suggests two people who were never meant to be together now
stuck in an unhappy marriage that will lead to divorce.
On the other hand, when the Five of Swords is reversed the window looks more like a door. If you are suffering
from any kind of material troubles, exclusion from the group or spiritual devoid, the door is now open for you to go
in.
Five of Pentacles Card Combinations
Five of Pentacles and Lovers:
 You married the wrong person.
 Signals a breakup

Five of Pentacles and King of Cups:
~ 108 ~
 He always seems to come in and help, but you must be aware of
ulterior motives because why else would you feel out in the cold?
 From a basic emotional level you feel worthless. This could definitely
come from your father or a father-like figure. Even a man who
resembles the King of Cups can be making you have emotionally
unsettling feelings of being unlovable, desperation and worthlessness.
Five of Pentacles and Ten of Pentacles:
 Feeling uncomfortable at home
 An unhappy marriage
Five of Pentacles and Queen of Pentacles:
 Being at home while working on the computer. Very slow
download speeds result in racking up charges that could
have been avoided.
Six of Pentacles
The Six of Pentacles can have two meanings. You can either be the man getting the handout or the man giving the
handout. If you are the man who is receiving know that it is okay to ask for help. Welfare isn't a bad thing if you
need it. Just be aware of the lesson of the other man and spend your money wisely. Use your money to make more
money. Perhaps you need to reevaluate how you are spending your money and living your life. Are you using your own
personal power to grow into a better person?
The second meaning of the Six of Pentacles can be from the view of the man giving the donations. It is okay to
give away your wealth, especially if you have more than you need. Good karma will result from such a good deed, but
be aware that if you only give because you think that it will result in good karma, then it really isn't a good deed. It
is a selfish act.
The man giving the money is most likely a sharp business man who is always thinking practically about money. Maybe
he realizes that these are merely investments and the man who gets the most coins is the better investment. You
may be trying to decide on who or what to give your money to. Make a wise business decision. You maybe ready to
host a charity event or are deciding between two business prospects. Use your head.
You can also be the man who needs more money, but spends it foolishly. Perhaps you need to reevaluate how you
are spending your money and living your life. Are you using your own personal power to grow into a better person?
Six of Pentacles in Love
A good sign as the sixes are fairly good signs in love. Just be aware of the roles that everyone plays in this
relationship. Despite the scales this card does not indicate equality in a relationship. One person gets more than
the other person.
The Six of Pentacles can suggest a relationship where the wife has to constantly ask for money. She has a very
small budget compared to the man's budget. He indulges in fancy vacations, luxury cars, and designer clothing, but
she may not be allowed the luxury items that he gives himself. Though, they are both comfortable in this
relationship. She feels happy tending to the house. All her needs are met. He feels powerful and in charge. This is
one of the most common meanings that I have found during love readings.
Be careful of who has the upper hand in the relationship. There are some manipulations coming from the merchant.
Real intentions are hidden from plain view. Superiority complexes and egos are common in this type of relationship.
For instance, your boyfriend or husband may take you shopping so that you look good in sexy clothing. The clothing
aren't for you, but for him. He looks good when he's with you in your tight jeans or designer dresses.
The Six of Pentacles in love can also be about unequal love triangles, but look for supporting cards such as the
Three of Swords or Three of Cups. It can indicate that a wealthy man has two girlfriends or most likely a wife and
a girlfriend on the side. One woman comes away with the situation with more material gain than the other woman.
Six of Pentacles as Feelings:
~ 109 ~
You feel charitable and may want to give to someone in order to get something in return.
If you are asking about a love interests feelings towards you, then they feel like they may like you a little bit.
They may even feel like they are on a power trip, such as, "oh she/he likes me and that makes me feel good." But
has no intentions of fully returning the feelings.
Six of Pentacles Professions:
Charity Worker. Non Profit. Merchant. Business Owner. Banker. Panhandler. Street Urchin. Beggar. Lawyer who
deals with Wills. Trustee.
Six of Pentacles Reversed:
You may not get what you want. When the Six of Pentacles is upright, you get help or you are helping. But when the
Six of Pentacles appears reversed in your spread there is now no balance. There maybe an injustice where someone
may be charitable only to advance themselves. It can indicate unfair court proceedings as indicated by the justice
scales being tipped over.

Seven of Pentacles
The Seven of Pentacles is all about patience, waiting and sometimes just walking away from something that isn't
working. It's about being suspended and wondering why something that you've tended to for so long is not ready to
harvest yet.
The Seven of Pentacles foretells and warns of disappointments, long waiting periods and proposals you want to mull
over.
Sometimes we really need to step back and look at things from a different perspective. Sometimes there is
nothing more we can do. We have to take a step back.
The Seven of Pentacles indicates that you need to think things through before making a decision.
Seven of Pentacles in Love

~ 110 ~

The Seven of Pentacles isn't the best card to get when you're looking for romance. It indicates failure, waiting in
vain and contemplation.
Seven of Pentacles as Feelings
You maybe feeling very frustrated with someone or something. You may be feeling that you are waiting for
something that may never come. There is a real sense of you waiting for something, not necessarily pause or
reflection because there is nothing you can do until the thing you are waiting for arrives. That thing could be the
love you've always wanted, the money you've been working so hard to gain or the dream house you are finally about
to find. And yet, you are determined to see it through until the end. You have inner fortitude and strength to
continue even though it feels as if it will never come.
The Seven of Pentacles can also indicate that you are contemplating something that is a grave matter. The feeling
side is linked to the thinking side. There is a good chance that you are feeling torn between something or someone
and so you sit and contemplate.
Seven of Pentacles as an Action:
Not all cards are cards of actions. If you are asking whether a particular someone will call you back or if you will
get that email or bonus check in the mail and you get the Seven of Pentacles, you may not hear from them.
The Seven of Pentacles suggests an inaction and a period of waiting.
Seven of Pentacles on a Mundane Level:
Can indicate that you are looking for something lost that you can't find.
Seven of Pentacles in a Career:
You are putting in a tremendous time at work. At some point you want to take a step back and reflect on your work.

yield a new perspective.

Eight of Pentacles in Love
There are no other people in this picture, but the man working diligently on his craft. The home is far away and a
great deal of distance separates him from his home. You maybe spending too much time working and neglecting your
home and family.
If you are single and can't figure out why, maybe it is because you are spending too much time working to meet
anyone new.
It can also indicate that he is thinking about you often. The infinity 8 means he is thinking about you over and over
again, but is this a good thing? There is only one person in the picture. Or are you the person who is trying over and
over again to get someone to love you. Are you thinking over and over again about someone who doesn't respond
back the same way? The Eight of Pentacles can indicate a slight fixation in a relationship that is one-sided. It can
be a warning that one person is more invested to the relationship than the other.
Eight of Pentacles as Feelings
The Eight of Pentacles isn't a feeling card, per se. Generally people are asking how a loved one or love interest
feels about you and it can indicate that they aren't feeling anything right now about you. They are generally
consumed with work.
If you are asking about feelings in general, such as "how does she feel about the job proposal, how did they feel
about the letter, how does he feel about ....etc.." then there is a repetitive thinking and feelings. It doesn't
indicate what or how they are feeling. Again, a clarifying card might help, or to pull the card aside and meditate on
it for a while.
On a Mundane Level
The Eight of Pentacles could propose that you will be listening to one song over and over again.
Eight of Pentacles in Career

The work effort in the Eight of Pentacles falls to the wayside when this card is reversed. You are sloppy,
undedicated and may even do illegal things to get ahead. It indicates a poor work ethic and underhanded behavior.

Nine of Pentacles
The Nine of Pentacles can indicate a solid financial future. Possible inheritance and/or hard work are suggested.
Whatever she has is very stable. She has comfort and abundance. She is most likely a savvy business owner.
The Nine of Pentacles suggests that you are in the process of developing self-worth and self-discipline. This will
ensure that you will never lose your wealth. Balance the material with the spiritual and you will see the completion
of the nines. Spiritual completion is grounded in material abundance. Because without a stable place, especially
within a natural world, you would not be free to work on your spiritual mission. Stuck working like the man in the
Eight of Pentacles, you cannot devote anytime to spiritual development. So the two need to be balanced.
Retirement is also signaled. The easy and slow nature of many retired people bodes well with the Nine of Pentacles.
Leisure in a retirement home is highlighted, especially in the self-contained world that the Nine of Pentacles brings
and the slow and steady life of the snail.
Nine of Pentacles in Love
The woman in the Nine of Pentacles knows that love comes within yourself and all around you. She understands the
difference between object oriented love (commonly called lust) and true love for everything around her. She loves
her garden, her body, her bird and the snail. She understands them all and is filled with compassion for everything
around her. She is in touch with the natural world. She is radiating from a place of love. This is the way she can
attract people that will truly love her, for her.
The Nine of Pentacles suggests that you or someone you know is a woman that doesn't need a man to fulfill any
sense of self. This card bodes well for retired women as well as divorced women who would rather keep their
relationships out of their house. For instance, the Nine of Pentacles could denote a woman whose children are
grown and who now lives alone. She may date occasionally, but is not looking for a man to co-habitat with. After
years of children and husband dependency, she is living an independent, self-sufficient lifestyle.
Nine of Pentacles as Feelings

will be kept.

being idle. They may not get any work done, but would rather lounge around eating bonbons.
The Reversed Nine of Pentacles can sometimes indicate that you have a weight gain tendency due to sumptuous
wine and delectable cakes.

Ten of Pentacles
When you have too much money what do you do with it? You pass it on to others, so that they may have abundance
too. This is the card of inheritance, family legacies, and marriages. You maybe the old man who is giving his house
to his grown children and grandchild, or you could be the one receiving the inheritance.
The Ten of Pentacles is also about the transference of wealth. You have worked hard and built a solid foundation
to sit upon.
~ 114 ~
Unlike the other family card, the Ten of Cups, the Ten of Pentacles is not a stage card. This is the real deal. This
is the family that sticks together because that's the "right" thing to do. It doesn't speak of undying love, bu
undying devotion to the patronage and family lineage.
In the perfect reading about love and marriage you would want to get both the Ten of Pentacles and Ten of Cups.
Ten of Pentacles in Love
This is a good card to receive if you are asking about love. It can indicate material success and material wealth.
It's a solid card to get especially for people who believe in leaving a legacy for their children.
The Ten of Pentacles is definitely a marriage card, but one of earthly marriage. It is a very secure marriage based
on a strong sense of stability.
The Ten of Pentacles may indicate marrying for money and/or arranged marriages. Your spouse may have
everything that you want. They maybe financially secure, have the right job, the right ethnicity, and come from the
right socioeconomic world, but there maybe something lacking. Namely true love and emotional completion. But a
couple like this is unlikely to divorce especially if you get the King of Pentacles as the male patriarch.
Ten of Pentacles as an Obstacle or Crossing Card
When the Ten of Pentacles comes up in a position of an "obstacle" or is a crossing card, you could be feeling very
trapped by family obligations. You may not be able to attend a function or do something on your own because you
are bound to your house, to your children, wife/husband or mother/father.
In a love reading where you don't know the person well, the Ten of Pentacles could refer to someone that is
already married. You may know or not know. If you do know that your lover is married, this card in the outcome or
crossing position indicates that your lover will stay married to their current spouse.
Ten of Pentacles as Advice
The Ten of Pentacles is about protection and the home. As advice, you may need to stay at home, create boundaries
or walls to protect yourself or rely on family members to help you.
If you are dissatisfied with your family members or some members of your family, remember that you can start
your own legacy.
The Ten of Pentacles advises you to donate anything that you have an excess of. It could run a range of
possibilities from donating old books and clothes to retiring a boyfriend or girlfriend that isn't harmonious to your
way of life anymore.

Ten of Pentacles Reversed
The Ten of Pentacles Reversed can be about two ships passing in the night. You have everything you think you

separate jobs that you may rarely see each other.
This could end in divorce or a permanent separation.

All pages send messages and communicate with people outwardly. It is usually a message that you send, but then,
of course, with tarot, exceptions are the name of the game....
