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.
Page of Cups
Upright
Creative opportunities, intuitive messages, curiosity, possibility
The Page of Cups implies a new idea or possibility has come to you. Your artistic energy is running, and now the problem is how you will show it. Will you take this idea and turn it into reality, or will you let someone else bring it to fulfillment? Explore the idea to see if you want to move ahead.
The Page of Cups calls you to have an open mind. Be ready to anything – even a fish jumping out of a cup! It is with an interesting mind that you will discover new perspectives on life. Be open to all probabilities, particularly those of a creative nature, you will be very astonished.
As each Page card invites you to discover a new aspect of yourself, the Page of Cups is inviting you to explore your emotional character. Dreamy ideas rush through your consciousness, and you may find yourself affected by simplistic things. Don’t be hesitant to let your feelings flow.
This card often arises when you are being invited to trust your inspiration and be open to the crowd of instinctive information coming to you. They may come from amazing places, or they may not even make sense to your logical mind; be open to the possibility and ready to explore new perspectives of yourself.
In a rational understanding, the Page of Cups can symbolize that you will get a nice surprise. The Page cards are often identified as the messengers, and with the Page of Cups, you may obtain a message about the emotions, feeling, or imaginative endeavors. It might be a new love affair or a new job offer. It is not a surprise you can expect or make; be ready to accept when the time comes.
Reversed
New ideas, doubting intuition, creative blocks, emotional immaturity
The reversed Page of Cups implies that you are keeping your creative ideas secret. You may bother that others will steal your idea or tell you it’s going to fail. You are keeping your plans private instead, so you can develop them more without the influence of other people.
With the reversed Page of Cups, you may feel invited to attempt a new plan, but you wonder whether you can really get it to work. Your internal critic may be on over-drive or people around you are telling you that you’re daydreaming – so you are postponing and holding back. Listen to your heart whether it’s time to just do it regardless of the consequence.
If you are exploring your inspiration, the reversed Page of Cups can hint that you are facing a lot of uncertainty. You are trying carefully to listen to your inner voice, but when the messages come within, you are left questioning if it’s your intuitive guidance or your mind.
Sometimes, the reversed Page of Cups can display someone who is emotionally naive – perhaps overly dramatic, who over-shares and is very vulnerable. This may be someone who is likely to emotional outbursts when they do not get their direction. Or it may be someone who is overly romantic about their future and who is not grounded in truth. It may be ‘Peter Pan Syndrome’, in which a grown-up acts like a child for the rest of their lives.
Five of Pentacles
Upright
Financial loss, poverty, lack mindset, isolation, worry
The Five of Pentacles card symbolizes loss and poverty. Particularly when it comes to your finances and physical properties, you are hitting tough times. You may have lately lost your work, your house, or your economic security. This is a Minor Arcana card with short effects and it will pass.
In this time of poverty, the Five of Pentacles shows that you feel lonely and discarded. Similarly to the two people on the card, you feel as if you have been abandoned in the cold However, as the light from windows is lit up, help is approaching, but you are too focused on your difficulties to see.
Sometimes, the Five of Pentacles hints that you are undermining your capacity to create wealth because you only concentrate on what you miss and what is going wrong. To change this energy, search for proof of what you do own, and show your thankfulness for those advantages in your life. The good aspects will increase by time and, ‘need’ will be a thing of history.
Furthermore, the Five of Pentacles implies that you worry you don’t possess fairly or you may lose things valuable to you – even if it hasn’t occurred still or is absurd. If you continue thinking about all the negative stuff that might occur, then your manifesting energies may start to produce the results that you don’t like.
Reversed
Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty
The reversed Five of Pentacles shows an end to difficult times, particularly if you have recently experienced a major job or finances problem. You may find new origins of revenue or a new job. Eventually, you can see a way out of your economic problems and your confidence is restored.
The reversed Five of Pentacles can sometimes explain the resolution of emotional poverty. You may feel like something is missing but it is hard to put your finger on what it might be. You may also feel alone, even in a group of people.
If you find your obsession with physical possessions is creating harm to your soul, then it’s time to end. Even if you have little money, you may still have a caring family and a beating heart. Yes, everything sucks right now, but if you hear these scarcity thoughts coming through in your mind, pause for a second and question whether this is the fact or a limiting view. Trust that the Divine is here to help you, particularly when you are pursuing your inner calling and your life mission. When you actually appreciate something, you’ll make it occur.
Four of Pentacles
Upright
Saving money, security, conservatism, scarcity, control
The Four of Pentacles invites you to examine your connection with money. Are you saving money wisely while still enjoying your daily life? Or are you hopelessly sticking to every coin, scared to spend your money for fear that you do no could lose it forever?
In its most positive outlook, the Four of Pentacles implies that you have created abundance by maintaining a constant focus on your aims and working conservatively. You are mindful of your financial security, saving money and following your payments.
However, the Four of Pentacles typically characterize an insufficiency mindset, particularly with material properties. You are choosing to stock your investments, for worry you might miss it all. Money works best when it can transfer and exchange, not when it is being stockpiled. Try to find a healthy equilibrium between spending and saving, so you can experience the outcomes of your work but also save up.
The Four of Pentacles can also imply that you are putting too much value on material dependencies. You may be connected to physical things, allowing properties to become an important part of your life.
Beyond money and abundance, the Four of Pentacles appears when you are searching for more power in your life. You may be overly defensive so no one else threatens your relationship. On a private level, you may have a rigid approach and oppose change. Any idea of doing things creatively is, therefore, going to be met with opposition. So, staying in a comfort zone may be the way to go rather than taking any dangers at this point.
Reversed
Over-spending, greed, self-protection
The reversed Four of Pentacles can show up when you are estimating what’s essential to you, particularly when it comes to money and property. You may have placed too much importance on physical possessions and have now come to the understanding that they won’t make you fortunate. As a result, you may be releasing your hold on the need to surround yourself with ‘stuff’, and will be searching out more love and joy in your life.
The reversed Four of Pentacles can symbolize that money is slipping out of your hands and your spending amounts pass your saving habits.
Sometimes, the reversed Four of Pentacles can imply that you developed a greedy approach to money. You want more and more continuously. Look at the overall comparison of the cost versus profit, and evaluate whether your search for ‘more’ is actually bringing you the peace that you most crave.
Finally, the Four of Pentacles can appear in a Tarot reading when you are in a very protective mood. You seek safety, endurance and you are doing everything within your authority to create a solid environment for yourself.
