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.
Knight of Pentacles
Upright
Hard work, productivity, routine, conservatism
The Knight of Pentacles signifies effort and commitment that comes after the new ideas of the Page. This Knight is the most systematic and diligent nature of the deck. Maybe he is not the most creative Knight among the others, but even if his job is extremely monotonous he’ll do it to acquire the outcomes.
This card indicates that you are striving towards your aims. You have created a plan and are holding to it to get the work completed. You may not work especially fast, but you are working consistently. This card also invites you to maintain doing what you are doing and making regular growth.
The Knight of Pentacles notes that you are a real planner and executer. You visualize your purpose, decide the best plan of work, and then attach to your route with a constant focus. Careful in your program, you be certain that everything is designed and completed.
In some cases, the Knight of Pentacles card shows the more ordinary aspects of life – the daily work, monotonous programs, house duties, and other commitments. You may have a task to do, and you will have to invest your energy to see that work done to the end.
The Knight of Pentacles implies that you have a managed and traditional insight to life right now, and you are holding to your old methods of doing things. You have discovered that you need thorough preparation if you are to reach your goals. It may not certainly be an interesting time, but you know you are on the correct path.
Reversed
Self-discipline, boredom, feeling ‘stuck’, perfectionism
The reversed Knight of Pentacles urges you to set a program for yourself and attach to it, instead of seeking new ideas.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles may also indicate the self-improvement, in which constant activities will boost your progress. Ordinary duties related to home, career or other daily tasks have been left aside because now you concentrate on more interesting or major possibilities.
Or you have become highly traditionalist and repellent to develop. Try to be exposed to new adventures.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles can also suggest that you are an idealist in your strategy to work. Are being overly judgmental of other people or instantly disappointed when their work is not at an equal quality like yours?
The Lovers
Upright
Love, harmony, relationships, values alignment, choices
The Lovers card represents understanding connections and meaningful relationships. The appearance of this card in a Tarot reading shows that you have a beautiful connection with a loved one. You may have found your soul mate or life partner, and the sexual energy between you both goes way beyond lust to something that is very spiritual and almost Tantric. While the Lovers card usually refers to a romantic bond, it can also represent a close friendship or family relationship where is the flow of love, respect, and compassion.
Lovers is a card of open connection and raw honesty. Showing that the man and woman are naked, they both have learned to open their hearts to one another and share their sincerest feelings by being in their most vulnerable states.
On a more personal level, the Lovers card represents getting clear about your preferences. You are figuring out your own philosophy. Having gone through the instruction of the Hierophant, you are now ready to establish your spiritual experience and decide what is and what is not essential to you. It’s time to go into the external world and make choices for yourself, also staying authentic and genuine in all your efforts.
At its core, the Lovers is about choice. The choice about who you want to be in this lifetime, how you connect with others. To make good choices, you need to be transparent about your personal beliefs and values – and stay true to them. Now, more than ever, you must prefer love. Choose the best version of yourself.
Finally, the Lovers card inspires you to unite dual forces. You can bring together two parts that are seemingly in contradiction to one another and create something that is ‘whole’ and harmonious. In every decision, there is the same amount of advantage and disadvantage, opportunity and challenge, positive and negative. When you accept these dualities, you build the union from which love flows.
Reversed
Self-love, disharmony, imbalance, misalignment of values
While The Lovers card signifies pure love and harmony, reversed, it can indicate a time when you’re not in tune with those elements around you. You may find your relationships are troublesome and communication is challenging. Does it seem as if your relationship is cold and you are just not on the same page? If so, look back to the reason you have this person in your life. If you love them, know this moment will pass and the best you can do is bring love and compassion to the situation. In some cases, you may realize that you have simply grown apart and it’s time to move on. If your relationship continues with arguments and a lack of respect for one another, then it could be time to let go and do what is best for you both.
The Lovers reversed can also indicate that the feelings within a relationship are not common. One person may be more emotionally connected than the other, and this could lead to failure later down the path. You may be hesitant to open your heart to the relationship for fear of getting hurt.
If the Lovers reversed shows up in a reading, you might face a difficult decision with significant results. Instead of making a decision based on your values, you try to avoid responsibility for your actions. Reversed Lovers urges you to think again because you can’t just get away with it and choose the path most in alignment with Highest Good – no matter how tough it might be.
Reversed Lovers may also recommend being in conflict with yourself rather than with external forces. It shows a struggle to balance your inner world. They will lead you to make better decisions next time. You may want to go back to the energy of the Hierophant card and search for the guidance and advice of a spiritual mentor.
Knight of Wands
Upright
Energy, passion, inspired action, adventure, impulsiveness
While the Page of Wands indicates the first flash of an idea, the Knight of Wands tells the chase of that idea. You are full of enthusiasm, and you communicate that energy through your action. You have a definite vision about what you want to build and you are now moving ahead with leaps and bounds to turn your fantasy into reality. This card is a clue to go for it!
You are courageous to reach into unfamiliar territories to advance your purpose and your dreams. You don’t mind if risk lies ahead – in fact, if it does, then it grows all the more interesting and exciting for you.
The Knight of Wands gives you the sense you can conquer the world! As you track your goals, your self-confidence boosts, and you understand that your potential is unlimited.
Be careful that the Knight of Wands could also expose himself as an ‘act first, think later’ type of character. You may be impatient, requiring everything to be done yesterday. While you are exploding with energy, you tend to hurry into things with little concern for the results of your activities. If this resonates, find a way to concentrate your energy on the actions that will move you closer to your purpose. Rather than acting on a new idea right away, take a moment to review if it truly adjusts with your goals and whether it needs to take place right now. You may realize that you are better followed by waiting for the suitable time to manifest this idea, particularly if other ‘delay’ cards, such as the Hanged Man, Four of Swords, show up in your reading.
Reversed
Passion project, haste, scattered energy, delays, frustration
The reversed Knight of Wands may arise when you are actively pursuing an enthusiasm plan. A fire has been burned within you, and now you are doing everything to run this project ahead. You have no intention of turning it into a furious success – it is for you to be happy.
The reversed Knight of Wands can indicate that you are feeling a significant boost of energy but are unsure about how to channel it into the world efficiently. You may have a creative uneasiness, knowing that you are designed for something ‘big’, but you are limited from making effort right now. Maybe there are frustrating obstacles, unbeatable barriers standing in your way. Search alternative ways to proceed with your enthusiasm or manifest your idea. You may need to modify your path slightly while being true to your initial idea.
Furthermore, the reversed Knight of Wands implies that you may be acting carelessly, trying to finish everything at once. You are rushing from one task to the other, without concentrating on the parts or securing victory. The reversed Knight of Wands also hints that you could act impulsively, doing something that you may later regret.
