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.
Ten of Cups
Upright
Divine love, blissful relationships, harmony, alignment
The Ten of Cups represents emotional satisfaction and happiness, especially in your relationships and family. You have created plenty of love and happiness in your life. You share a powerful connection with your loved ones. You support one another, and together, you encourage each other to reach your greatest potential.
The Ten of Cups card is considered the ‘happy family’ card, implying that your family connections are peaceful and loving. This card may show up when you are spending more time with family, perhaps on a holiday or celebration, where you can rest and enjoy together.
In a love reading the Ten of Cups is a positive card and may symbolize either a new relationship or a commitment. You share an eternal love and you are soul mates destined to be together.
When the Ten of Cups shows up in a Tarot reading, you have a feeling of wholeness, fulfillment in your connections with others. You are experiencing a pleasant state of peace, harmony, and love where your dreams came true. Take a moment to enjoy everything you succeeded. You created a life of happiness by following your heart and trusting yourself.
The Ten of Cups inspires you to follow your heart to guide you to the possibilities aligned with your Highest Good. When something feels wonderful, do more of it; and when something doesn’t feel fit, do less of it. Allow your inner guidance to guide the way. Explore opportunities that fulfill you and align with your preferences instead of tracking the path that others require you to take.
Reversed
Disconnection, misaligned values, struggling relationships
When the reversed Ten of Cups card arrives in a Tarot reading, you are asking higher harmony in your connections. You had hoped for a beautiful, peaceful relationship, but in reality, you feel detached and disengaged from your loved person. It may feel as if something is missing, and you’re striving to talk sincerely, empathize with one another. Each time you try to connect, something goes opposite, and you end up with even more disconnected. You may have nonsensical expectations of the connection: that everything will be excellent and cheerful every minute you are together. If this resonates, then change your expectations and realize that every connection has its ups and downs. Or, you may no longer be suitable for each other, in which case you may think to leave.
The Ten of Cups invites you to seek out common spot with your loved ones and restore the relationship from there. See the other person as a being deserving your love; and fairly, see yourself as a being worthy of theirs. Love and be loved. Open the channels of contact and be ready to hold a place for one another so you can reconnect on a more profound level. Be kind, empathetic, and attentive, and endeavor harmony.
The reversed Ten of Cups can also appear when you are envisioning what a love connection indicates for you. Rather than creating connections with other people, you are concentrating your awareness inward so you can get certainty around what you want from a connection. You may look at your current relationships and review how these relationships arrange with your passions. Let go of any that no longer give you happiness, and welcome in new connections in adjustment with your Highest Good.
The reversed Ten of Cups can show an unbalance of personal preferences. You are not living by your values, nor are you being authentic to yourself. Bring your center back to what really makes you happy even if it varies from what others expect.
Finally, the reversed Ten of Cups may imply that you are ignoring your family while you proceed more material purposes such as improving your career or earning more money.
The Tower
Upright
Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening
When the Tower card is shown in a Tarot reading, something unexpected will happen – massive transformation, outbreak, destruction or chaos. It may be a divorce, financial bankruptcy, health problems, job failure or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you in deep levels. Change is hereabouts to shred everything up, create chaos (but you should remember that it’s for your Highest Good).
Just when you’re safe in your comfort zone, a Tower moment strikes and throws you out of the loop. A sudden lightning bolt of insight cuts through the illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to the surface. Your world may come tumbling down before you, in ways you could never have dreamed as you realize that you have been developing your life on weak foundations – false theories, mistruths, illusions, obvious lies, and so on. You are now questioning what is real and what you can rely upon and what you cannot believe. This can be very complicated because your core belief systems are tested. But, you will understand that your fundamental assumptions were built on a piece of false knowledge, and your new belief systems are more close to reality.
The best approach is to allow this destruction to happen so you can re-build. And with the Tower, you have no option but to surrender to the chaos, no matter how painful. This destruction will enable new growth to start.
After a Tower moment, you will be stronger and wiser. This moment is important for your spiritual maturity, even if you feel pain and stress during it.
Also, the Tower doesn’t always need to be a painful experience. If you are aware and in tune with your intuition, then this Tarot card can symbolize spiritual rebirth. You may be able to see the cracks appearing and take action before the whole comes falling down. You may create a huge alteration before you attain a position where transformation is your only choice.
Reversed
Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
The Reversed Tower hints that you are undergoing a meaningful personal conversion. This differs from the upright Tower where the change is because of external factors and may even seem forced upon you. Instead, with the reversed Tower card, you are urging the change and questioning your underlying belief system. Or, in more dramatic states, you may go through an existential crisis where you severely question your life’s goal. While this can be an unsettling experience, trust in the process and know it is for the most beneficial. You are creating transformation so you can step into a developed version of yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Tower can be a warning that you are holding change and denying the inevitable destruction. However, you need to go through this hard time to learn a worthy lesson. And know that if you continue to hold this transformation, it will only push its way into your life more strongly.
Finally, the reversal of the Tower can decrease the influence of the transformation about to happen in your life.
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.
