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.
Ace of Cups
Upright
Love, new relationships, compassion, creativity.
With the Ace of Cups, Blessed love and kindness are flowing through you. You are full of deep love from Nature, and you let that love flow through you into the world. You accept love, you share love, you ARE love. Your spirit overflows.
Now is the perfect time for you to open your heart and feel the strong stream of passion. You are more open to creative possibilities, loving relationships, and deep empathy for other people. As with all Ace cards, this card also comes as an invite. The Ace of Cups brings the potential for emotional satisfaction – but only if you welcome it with an open heart.
This card often arrives in Tarot readings when you allow your emotions to radiate through your efforts. You may be excited to start a new plan. You are happy with who you are and freely show this part of yourself to other people. You see pure potential in allowing your creative spirits to move.
The Ace of Cups usually signifies a new connection, such as friendship, a new family relationship or blossoming love. Open yourself to sharing unconditional love, and you will see that love flows effortlessly when you are in this kind state of mind. The water indicates the flow of emotion.
There is a generous representation of the Ace of Cups, too. See this as a time of giving and make the most of any chance to help. You have the power to share your inner light, bringing joy to those around you.
Ultimately, the Ace of Cups can mean pregnancy or birth. Check the other cards in the reading for additional verification, such as the Empress, Page of Cups or Four of Wands. It also may mean the birth of a flash of inspiration – something in which you can spend plenty of creative energy.
Reversed
Self-love, intuition, repressed emotions.
In the reversed position, Ace Of Cups expresses love for oneself. So, before you give your love out to the universe, send love to yourself, filling up with Divine love.
The reversed Ace of Cups is a sign that you are in contact with your unconscious mind and harmonized with your intuition. You are searching for this part of yourself alone right now, and learning how you can bring more flow into your life.
The reversed Ace of Cups may be a warning that you are suppressing your emotions, not wanting to reveal yourself fully to the external world. You may worry that if you let your emotions flow, they might turn into an overrunning flood that can’t be turned off. However, be cautious that you do not create an inner blockage by suppressing how you feel. If you are not ready to share your emotions, you can find ways to free them privately, through journaling, movement, or crying your anxiety and anger out.
In a love reading, the reversed Ace of Cups can tell that you are keeping your emotions for worry of getting hurt. You know that you must believe in your lover for the relationship to move ahead, but, for now, you are holding back.
Eight of Cups
Upright
Disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal, escapism
When the Eight of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you may feel forced to walk away from a frustrating situation. It could mean ending a relationship, job or project that was once a cause of pleasure to you but now only causes you sadness. You gave yourself emotionally but, despite your best attempts; it hasn’t turned out the process you had assumed, and you understand that you are no longer getting anything out of this. Now, the only option is to move on, even if it brings you sorrow as you say goodbye.
The Eight of Cups implies you feel that something is missing and instead of waiting around, you know you need to leave that disappointing situation. It may not make sense to other people because on the surface, it looks as if you had all you had wanted – although, you know it’s not serving your Highest Good.
The Eight of Cups can be a hint that you are trying to leave a problematic situation or avoiding some major emotional problems. The Cups in the front symbolizes emotional issues that are present in your life. Yet you are trying to act as if they don’t exist, refusing to solve them.
The Eight of Cups calls you to ask yourself what causes you joy, happiness, and satisfaction on a deep level. Without it, you might track goals that don’t give you the fulfillment you’re endeavoring. So, if you find yourself repeatedly in these Eight of Cups states, spend time examining what will give you real happiness and recreate your aims with your preferences.
Reversed
Trying one more time, indecision, aimless drifting, walking away
The reversed Eight of Cups shows that you may be stuck between walking away from an unpleasant situation or giving it one more chance. But the true question is, ‘Can the situation progress, or is it a lost faith?’ Check-in with your feeling to know whether you should give this circumstance one more opportunity, or if you should let go.
If the reversed Eight of Cups is joined with more inactive cards such as the Hanged Man or the Four of Swords, then it may be a hint that you want to try one more time. Though, if this card combined with a more dynamic card (for example, Eight of Wands or Chariot), it could be time to move on.
The reversed Eight of Cups calls you to listen to your feeling about your next action. Others may have an idea, but it comes down to what’s essential to you. Only you know if this circumstance is serving you and if there is hope.
Wheel of Fortune
Upright
Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point
The Wheel of Fortune hints you that life is in a state of constant transition. If you’re going through a difficult time remember that it always could get better from here. Good fortune will make its return on time. This cycle shows why it is so important to appreciate the joyful moments in your life while they are within reach – because in a glance they could be lost.
The Wheel of Fortune is also recognized as the wheel of ‘karma’ and hints you that ‘what goes around comes around.’ So, if you want peace, make sure you’re sending out that positive energy to the Universe.
The Wheel of Fortune card invites you to be confident and believe that the Universe will take care of your situation in the best way possible. The magic of luck is behind you, and miracles are happening every moment.
If you are someone who likes to have control over every aspect of life, then the Wheel of Fortune may suggest that factors outside your power are affecting your situation. No matter which way the Wheel turns, it is impossible to change it. You need to go with the flow!
Finally, the Wheel of Fortune can notify a critical turning point in your life. Opportunities you could never imagine could be available to you, and you could have the chance to make an important change in your life suddenly. The more you sync with your intuition and allow the Universe to lead you, the better the results will be.
Reversed
Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles
When the Reversed Wheel of Fortune appears, your luck may take a turn for the most unfortunate. You may experience unexpected negative forces, leaving you in a difficult situation.
If you feel change is forced upon you, the reversed Wheel of Fortune can also show your resistance. This card hints that change has become a source of stress for you, and you may be trying to stop events from running their own course. Accept that change is unavoidable and you will have a much-developed experience when you can go with the flow.
The reversed Wheel of Fortune also might mean that you are breaking a negative cycle that has been present in your life. Perhaps you have realized how your actions were running in circles and are now ready to break free. For some, this may flow naturally following a time of soul-searching and self-discovery. For others, hitting rock bottom is needed before you are ready to see what is no longer serving you (especially if the Devil or Tower card is in your reading).
