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.
High Priestess
Upright
Intuition, sacred knowledge, divine feminine, the subconscious mind
While the Magician represents the conscious mind, the High Priestess is the guardian of the subconscious mind and teaches hidden mysteries. High Priestess has a natural ability to travel between conscious and subconscious mind without any effort and teaches you that the world is not always as it seems. She guides you through the thin cloud of awareness, offering you a deep understanding of the Universe and a raised awareness of secret or hidden information.
The High Priestess represents wisdom. She shows up in your Tarot readings when you have the opportunity to access deep spots in your soul. You can tune into your intuition more easily because the veil between you and your inner world is thinner than it usually is. The answers which you are seeking will come from within. Connect with your intuition through a way that is more suitable for you (meditation, yoga, shamanic journeying, reading spiritual books or being part of spiritual communities).
Your intuitive insight can give you helpful knowledge and support you to become closer to your subconscious mind. Knowledge will not come to you by thinking and rationalizing, but by trusting your intuition. So, allow yourself the time and space to meditate and reach your inner voice. Look for fields in your life that may be out of balance or lacking ‘flow’. The more you trust your feelings, the more they will develop and flow.
Finally, the High Priestess could be a sign that you are being invited to welcome the Divine Feminine – your connection to your inner wisdom, intuition, compassion. The appearance of the High Priestess card signals that your divine feminine needs your attention now. No matter what is your gender, you need to balance your masculine and feminine energies. Feel, more than thinking. Cooperate, more than resisting. Trust your Divine Feminine energy and be proud of your ability to trust, nurture, sense and don’t try hiding it away.
Reversed
Secrets, disconnected from intuition, lack of center
The reversed High Priestess invites you to direct your concentration inward to listen to your inner voice. You may be affected by other people’s opinions or taken away by their drama when what you really need to do is focus and decide on what is right for you. It is time to get silent and be away from the external world to witness what your inner voice is sharing with you now.
Ask yourself: Do I trust my intuition? Perhaps you feel silly or guilty for listening to your inner voice, and as a result, you deny your ability to tune in and receive some powerful message. You may also keep your intuitive abilities hidden from others, being afraid of their judgments or assumptions.
Think of the High Priestess as a calm center inside of you and trust that she is always there when you need her. Find a quiet place and meditate so you can hear the voice.
Finally, the hidden nature of the High Priestess may also suggest gossip and hidden plans. Others may be keeping some data from you or talking about you behind your back and spreading lies. Rather than diving into the depths of paranoia, have an open conversation with them.
Six of Wands
Upright
Success, public recognition, progress, self-confidence
The Six of Wands shows up when you made an important discovery or accomplished a goal, and you are very confident and proud. You checked your strengths and talents to bring about a happy outcome in your efforts and made it through the chaos of the Five of Wands, minimizing your confusion and focusing on the task at hand. Yes, there were difficulties along the way, but you defeated them by focusing your energies on the target.
The Six of Wands implies that not only have you accomplished your goals, but you are also receiving public recognition for your works. You may have recently won an award from your companions for your work. It may even be just a pat on the back, but this attention is a big boost to your self-confidence.
The Six of Wands also inspires you to put yourself out there and be proud of what you achieved. Be open to accepting love from your biggest cheerleaders, who are excited by seeing you succeed.
While the Six of Wands indicates an excellent event, keep in mind that you’re not at the finish line just yet. You still have a way to go, and tests may sit on the path – but take heart knowing you have the care of those around you.
Reversed
Private achievement, personal definition of success, fall from grace, egotism
The Six of Wands reversed hints that you have reached a meaningful personal goal, but unlike the upright version, you keep it to yourself right now. You may be embarrassed by receiving public appreciation for your work, or it may be such a private accomplishment that you have no reason to share it with other people. Review with yourself though: are you avoiding sharing it because you lack courage or feel shy about being on top?
The reversed Six of Wands inspires you to create your own definition of success. If you have found yourself seeking validation, you may have stripped yourself of your self-belief. When you are clear about what victory means to you, you will do better choices that are more in association with who you really are, and increase your self-confidence.
Another meaning of the Reversed Six of Wands is that it can also carry arrogance and egotistical actions. With a boost to your confidence, you may come to think that nobody is better than you. Guide in your character and make your success all the richer.
Death
Upright
Endings, change, transformation, transition
After a period of meditation with the Hanged Man card, the Death card symbolizes the end of a significant phase of your life is no longer serving you, opening up the chance of something far more valuable. You must close one door so another could be opened. You need to be ready to welcome new possibilities. It may be hard to let go of the past, but you will soon see the promise of restoration and transformation. If you resist these important endings, you may experience only pain, but if you improve your imagination, you allow more constructive patterns to appear.
The Death card has elements of an unexpected change. Although the outbreak may seem undesired and worrying, this massive change could bring a series of unexpected surprises that create new opportunities for you.
Finally, Death is a sign that you need to learn to let go of harmful attachments in your life to pave the way to a more fulfilled life. Death teaches you to let go of outgrown ways of life and to move forward from them. This is a perfect card to break a bad pattern of behavior. See this as a time to cut out the excess and let go of what is useless for your living.
Reversed
Resistance to change, personal transformation, inner purging
In the reversed position, Death can mean that you are on the verge of significant change but are holding it. You may be resistant to let go, or you may not know how to make the change you need. You still carry harmful viewpoints from the past that may interfere with a new opportunity. Because of your refusal and you feel stuck in limbo.
Death reversed advises you the opportunity to embrace change rather than hold it. See what amazing possibilities become available to you as you say ‘yes’ to change.
The reversed Death card can show that you are going through a huge transformation, which is private and out of view of other people. You should be releasing what no longer serves you so that you can make space for the new to appear. You may be limiting expectations; you may be replacing your habits.
