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.
Nine of Pentacles
Upright
Abundance, luxury, self-sufficiency, financial independence
The Nine of Pentacles card tells you have struggled to produce wealth in your life and now you can ultimately experience the outcomes. Thanks to your works and discipline, you achieved victory and a solid ground for your material wealth which you deserve. It is time to relax and appreciate the richness.
When the Nine of Pentacles shows up in a reading, do not be frightened to celebrate, particularly as a gift for all of your tough work. You have already accomplished so much work, and this is your chance to strengthen yourself for the final stage and recognize your successes.
The Nine of Pentacles card also talks about independence. The woman in this card inspires you to do the similar – to create wealth and freedom and you can take care of yourself. Spend carefully and don’t depend on other people.
While the suit of Pentacles typically concentrates on physical richness, this card also implies that you are in balance with the atmosphere around you. You enjoy the beauty of nature, and you can explore its power to bring enjoyment to you.
Reversed
Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling
The reversed Nine of Pentacles card reminds you that right now you need to appreciate yourself. When you notice this card, take the chance to think about your own insight of self-respect.
You may inquire if your abilities are relevant if you can require higher rates or request for a salary increase. Understand that you rate to be rich in all aspects of the term.
Furthermore, you may concentrate on developing your confidence. Spend for yourself and improve your self-love.
In some cases, the reversed Nine of Pentacles can show up when you are working too hard and deceiving yourself that you have no time to experience the results of your work.
On the other hand, the reversed Nine of Pentacles implies, if some of your special interests block you out of your life priorities, you should consider clearing some of your requirements for it. You may believe you need the greatest of everything but, actually, all you lack is your family, friends and important people around you.
The Sun
Upright
Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality
The Sun symbolizes victory, radiance, and wealth by being the most positive card in the Tarot deck. People are attracted to you because you can always see the bright side and bring warmness to other their lives. This lovely, warm energy is what will get you through the hard times and help you recover. You are also in a place where you can share your most powerful qualities and successes with others. Reflect who you are; illuminate your love on people you care about.
If you are going through a challenging time, the Sun declares you the information you have been waiting for: things will get a lot better from now on!
The Sun combines you to your power center – not egotistical power, but the inner strength is shining through. You can feel it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself freely and be fully in present.
The Sun is also a dynamic card. It reflects a moment when you feel an improvement in physical energy and overall positivity, you are bursting with enthusiasm.
Reversed
Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic
The reversed Sun is calling to your inner child. We get so wasted in the chaos of daily life as adults that we forget how to have fun. But if you watch a child playing, and you will realize how wonderful life can be when you learn to let go of your anxieties. When the Sun reversed appears in your Tarot reading, see it as your confirmation message to leave behind your responsibilities, even just for a while, and set your inner child free.
Anyway, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only momentary. The barriers you see can be cleared if you put your creativity into it.
On the other hand, you may be overly optimistic. While you are overly confident, you may have become out of touch with what you can accomplish. Are you honest with yourself and others? Are you unrealistic? Are you really as great as you believe you are?
The Empress
Upright
Femininity, beauty, nature, nurturing, abundance
The Empress implies a strong connection with femininity. Femininity is explained in many ways, such as elegance, sensuality, fertility, creativity, nurturing – and is necessary for creating a balance between your masculinity and femininity. Create beauty in your life. Connect with your senses through taste, touch, hearing, smell, and sight. Be drawn on these senses to experience pleasure and joy. Explore different methods for expressing yourself creatively, be it through painting, music or other kinds of art.
You are in a period of growth; your all dreams and purposes could come into fulfillment. When the Empress appears in your Tarot readings, take a moment to think about the generosity that surrounds you and offer gratitude for all you have created so you can continue to build on this energy and create even more wealth in your life.
Like the Mother Earth model, the Empress urges you to be in nature to be in flow with the earth by grounding your energy. Take a trip to your favorite places such as forest, beach, mountain or lake and explore beauties, breathe in good energies. Receive the grounding spirit of nature into your heart and mind. So, you can reach higher planes of consciousness.
By being are in tune with the energy of the Empress, you will simply take on her mothering nature. You feel a strong urge to nurture and care for others, with deep compassion and care. You see it as a gift and an honor to help others. You may step into the role of ‘mother’, perhaps as the mother of a newborn, caretaker of other people’s children, or spending more quality time with your kids.
The Empress can also hint pregnancy or birth. This may be an actual pregnancy or childbirth, or a metaphorical ‘birth’ of a new idea. Bring your creative ideas into being by nurturing them and supporting their growth. Allow those designs and their demonstration to flow through you, acting with compassion and love.
Reversed
Creative block, dependence on others
Reversed, the Empress inspires you to make self-love a priority. Now is the time to bring your loving energy and focus to yourself, especially if you have been giving away your power by placing too much weight on another person’s emotional or material needs, therefore ignoring your own needs.
You may also need a more powerful connection with nature. Now is the perfect time to spend even just a few hours in a natural setting such as a beach, park or garden.
The Empress reversed can suggest that you are feeling a creative block, creating a new idea or expressing yourself.
The reversed Empress may call your awareness to problems around body image. Are you very critical when it comes to how you look and the shape of your body? Learn to love your body again and rediscover your beauty, inside and out.
Or you may take the ‘mothering’ role too far in your relationships, by becoming overprotective, co-dependent and controlling. If this resonates, it is time to shift your focus from the mother-child relationship to an adult-to-adult relationship by creating freedom and trust.
