Readings
Three Cards
The three card tarot spread is one of the oldest methods. You can get to the heart of your question with a simple three-card Tarot reading. In this spread, there are three different positions which can be changed by to your preference, Past – Present – Future (or Situation – Action – Outcome, Situation – Obstacle – Advice and etc.).
The meaning of the card you choose varies according to it’s position.
This opening provides a GENERAL perspective to the period you are in. Or you can evaluate the comments in the frame of your question.
The Moon
Upright
Illusion, fear, anxiety, dreams, subconscious, intuition
The Moon symbolizes your illusions and often shows up when you are projecting fear and worry into your present and your future, based on your past. You may have a depressing memory that caused emotional suffering, and rather than dealing with the emotions, you pushed them down into your subconsciousness. Now, these emotions are appearing again, and now you find yourself under their impact on your conscious or subconscious. To solve this, connect with your unconscious mind and free any fears holding you back. Hypnosis, treatment, and shamanic healing can be very helpful.
The Moon can symbolize a period of uncertainty. Be careful of making quick judgments and decisions when the Moon shows up because you may later realize that there was a hidden side of the situation. You need to trust your intuition so you can see beyond everything. Feel into circumstances rather than analyzing. Let go of your conscious mental barriers or negative thinking and let your intuition lead you. Your dreams and inner guidance guide you toward higher levels of understanding if you listen to the messages of the subconsciousness.
When the Moon card arrives in your Tarot reading, pay attention to the cycles of the moon and be in tune with its divineness by meditating. Once Zen meditators have opened their eyes, and they have seen the moon and out of their meditation, a certain phrase has emerged. Only through meditation will you be able to understand it; it is not poetry, it is not composed with the mind, it is a deep feeling in the heart.
One full moon;
stars numberless; the sky
dark green.
If you are in deep meditation and you see this dark sky with so many stars and a single moon, your silence will become very deeper.
Reversed
Release of fear, repressed emotion, inner confusion
The Moon reversed shows the negative impacts of fears and anxiety that you have been dealing with are descending. You are fighting through your fears, understanding them and free yourself from such limiting beliefs. This is a truly liberating practice.
You may try to avoid your darkness by burying these feelings even deeper within your unconscious. This strategy might work for a short period, but finally, you will need to bring to the surface these emotions and deal with them.
The Moon reversed can also show that you are accepting intuitive messages but it is difficult to understand what they signify for you. The message may be unclear. Trust that the solutions you need are already inside you, pay attention to your dreams, and tune in to your inner guidance to discover answers.
Knight of Cups
Upright
Creativity, romance, charm, imagination, beauty
The Knight of Cups is the traditional romantic of the Tarot deck. He is in touch with his feelings, and he uses them masterfully to impress and attract. The Knight is loving, caring and very in touch with his sensitive side. He may be writing a passionate poem to his beloved, creating art caused by his deep feelings. His heart is fully open. He shares his love without limitation or worry; he is in love with love.
When the Knight of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you succeed on all things beautiful. While the Page of Cups was inspired by an artistic idea, the Knight of Cups is driven by action. You have fantasized about what it is you need to build and now are moving ahead with this idea to make it a reality. It may be an art plan or something you feel ‘invited’ to do, based on your emotions, imagination. Be open to searching for your passions.
All Knights are on a purpose, and this Knight’s mission is romance, altruism, empathy, and grace. You have an image of peace and are ready to make it into existence. You are lead by your soul and want to see the love for everyone concerned.
When it comes to making choices, the Knight of Cups is ruled by his heart. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, you are making choices based on how you feel about a circumstance rather than what you think, even if others can’t understand what you are doing and why, and your inspiration leads you in everything you do.
Reversed
Overactive imagination, unrealistic, jealous, moody
When the reversed Knight of Cups shows up in a Tarot reading, a creative project is beginning, but you are not willing to work on it just yet. You may consume most of your time fantasizing up what is likely to be or how amazing it will be when it comes to achievement. While it can be improving to be in the dreamy stage for a while, the project will not come into being until you start to work.
Sometimes, the reversed Knight of Cups can symbolize that you are irritable, unhappy, and insecure. You may feel disappointed that you are not being given the chance to dream and design.
The reversed Knight of Cups can represent someone who has an overly romantic strategy to life and is separated from reality.
King of Wands
Upright
Natural-born leader, vision, entrepreneur, honour
The King of Wands signifies pure fire energy in its powerful form. Unlike the other Wands suit cards, the King is not so involved in creativity. Instead, he is more likely to take an idea and engage others to help him accomplish it. When the King of Wands appears in a Tarot reading, it is a clue you are stepping into the role of an idealistic leader, ready to lead your people towards a common purpose. You have a clear insight into where you want to go, and now you are manifesting that idea with the assistance of people around you. Others naturally drift towards you because you are charismatic, concentrated, and strong-minded, and they trust you.
The King of Wands suggests you direct your life with a long-term outlook. You have an idea of what is truly reasonable. Unlike the Knight who can be a little spontaneous with his actions, you have the capability to see your idea through right to the beyond. You gain a lot because you are clear about your path and do not spend your time on actions you think will take you nowhere. You never just go with the wind; instead, you prefer to begin on a straight path of progress.
Reversed
Impulsiveness, haste, ruthless, high expectations
The reversed King of Wands implies that while you are in leadership, you are not willing to be in that role. You may be the creative person in your business, but you are not comfortable with leading others towards your idea. You may need to work on your leadership abilities or get the help of someone who has an original gift at directing others towards a common purpose.
Sometimes, the reversed King of Wands can be offensive and even domineering in the pursuit of his aims. Be careful that as you attempt towards your dream, you are not dis-empowering other people or taking their participation for granted. You need their assistance one hundred percent of the plan. Be part of a team and carry on what is required of you, even as the legal leader of the organization.
The reversed King of Wands urges you against placing unrealistic expectations for yourself and others. While you are highly energetic, you may be setting purposes that are out of reach and then pushing hard to reach those impossible goals.
