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.
Two of Swords
Upright
Difficult decisions, weighing up options, an impasse, avoidance
The Two of Swords shows that you are handling a difficult decision and you are confused about which option to choose. Both possibilities may seem equal and you don’t know about which will lead you to the best result.
In a reading, it may help to draw further cards to show what it is you are seeking to decide upon. You may also like to draw more cards, for the pros and cons of each option.
The woman in this card covers her eyes with a blindfold, showing that she cannot see the whole of her situation. So you may lack the knowledge you need to make the right choices. You may be needing something, such as the warnings or risks, alternative resolutions or important pieces of information that would guide you in a distinct direction.
The Two of Swords could also purposely wear the blindfold to avoid making a choice. Are you trying to hide from a hard situation, hoping that if you neglect it long enough, you won’t need to bother about it? Sadly, the problem is unlikely to resolve itself, and the longer you hold, the longer you will lengthen this present condition.
The Two of Swords appears as a reminder that many of life’s choices are tough ones and rarely come with plain solutions. The message is to make your decisions with your best purposes, fully aware of the potential consequences.
Reversed
Indecision, confusion, information overload, stalemate
The reversed Two of Swords implies that you are encountering a tough decision and cannot decide which direction to take. It seems impossible to make the correct decision as you know either option will lead to negative results. As a result, you are finding yourself feeling stuck, which is just making the circumstance worse.
You may also lack the knowledge you need to make a reasonable decision. You may also be closed off to new information that could solve your dilemma like the blindfolded woman is closed off to the outside world.
The reversed Two of Swords is asking you to listen to your intuition about this tough choice. Believe what you know to be right for you. Make your choices based on your own inner compass.
The reversed Two of Swords often describes a delay. You may reach an obstacle with a friend or a loved one. The problem is that all people involved are declining to see the circumstance from the other’s viewpoint.
The reversed Two of Swords may also hint you are feeling stuck in the center of two opposing sides. You may be trying to play the mediator role, but in doing so, you are just frustrating yourself. Determine whether you truly have a role to play and whether you can build peace between the two conflicting parties.

Six of Pentacles
Upright
Giving, receiving, sharing wealth, generosity, charity
The Six of Pentacles is a card of giving and accepting. Sometimes, you are on the giving side; other times, on the receiving side. It’s a continuous circle of growth, and this card is a notice that harmony can change at any time. You maybe like the rich man in this card, sharing your abundance with others. You have acquired great abundance and are now in a place to grant financial support to those in lack. Even if you are not financially rich, you give up your time, energy, love and care to people, understanding it will be honored. There may be moments when you question if you can really manage to provide generously to others – and the guidance of the Six of Pentacles is to believe that every giving you do is appreciated and will get back to you.
Furthermore, you may be on getting other people’s generosity, receiving these contributions with appreciation. This will help you to go back on your feet and to eventually pay the charitable company or person, either with your wealth or other resources. You will also need to find ways in which you can become more independent. The danger of receiving a gift is that you become reliant on it and cannot look after yourself. Be careful that you are not getting passive or noticeably hopeless as a consequence of the donation that someone else is granting you.

Reversed
Self-care, unpaid debts, one-sided charity

While you can’t alter the other person’s reply or make them return the favor, you can refuse to help in the future.
You may have an inclination to consume or provide more than you can afford. While open-handedness is an excellent quality, you need to guarantee that you are able to help yourself while serving others.
The reversed Six of Pentacles sometimes displays the egoistic side of kindness. Be mindful that you are not attempting to show to others that you are a generous person by giving to the poor.
In a love reading, the reversed Six of Pentacles hints that one partner is taking a lot, thus creating an imbalance in the connection. You need to be cautious that your generous character is not being taken advantage of and that you are not the one making tolerances for your lover’s profit always.
