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.
Six of Swords
Upright
Transition, change, rite of passage, releasing baggage
The Six of Swords tells that you are in a state of change, leaving behind what was usual and going towards the foreign. You might be moving to another house, ending a relationship, switching jobs, going through a mental transformation. This change may be done by you or made upon you, and you may feel sorry to leave it behind. However, you know this move is necessary for your individual development. The sorrow over what you have released will soon be replaced by higher mental purity.
The Six of Swords asks you to release whatever is keeping you back. Instead, look ahead to your future and choose the approach most in association with your potential. You will need to make difficult decisions and settlements along the way. You are going towards a much better place in life, so long as you are willing to drop whatever you no longer need.
Furthermore, the Six of Swords invites you to think about any baggage you may take as you move from one stage to the next. In the boat, there are six standing swords – a symbol you are still taking a weight, which might delay your growth. These ‘swords’ may be thoughts, connections, customs, habits that are no longer helping you.
Reversed
Personal transition, resistance to change, unfinished business
When the reversed Six of Swords appears in a Tarot reading, you may be going through a passage of spiritual transition so you can leave behind patterns that are not serving you any longer. This is a deeply private journey, and you are working in solitude to make it appear. You have recognized what you must free to welcome new thought patterns and are now making it to success in your life.
Sometimes, the reversed Six of Swords symbolizes that you know you need to make a difference in your life but are unwilling to do so. You may believe that the problem will go away on its own. Or you may try to deceive yourself into considering you can proceed with it, however, you know deep in your heart it is time to move on. That trouble can be a positive indication that maturity is happening, so feel into that drive and let it help you to keep developing yourself.
In some examples, the reversed Six of Swords implies that you are opposing change because you believe that it has been made upon you. Reaffirm to yourself why you require to make this shift and how it adjusts with your own benefits.
If you were trying to move on but you couldn’t, the reversed Six of Swords implies that there may be an unfinished job, unsolved struggle, or lessons which you need to know before you can move ahead in your life wholeheartedly. Find what is holding you back, and try to fix those issues.
Justice
Upright
Justice, fairness, truth, cause and effect, law
The Justice card symbolizes justice, fairness and the law. You are being called to value your actions or will be judged accordingly. Take responsibility for your activities and stay ready for the consequences.
If you ask justice, then the Justice card is a positive sign that it will be served. You may be awaiting final judgment from the courts or a governing body. A decision will be declared shortly and you must accept it and move on.
The Justice card often appears when an important decision with the potential for long-term consequences should be made. Be aware of the impression your decisions will have on you and other people. Choose consciously by connecting with your intuition and seek for the solution that is most in adjustment with the highest good of all.
Finally, the Justice card is about the exploration of truth. Be prepared to dip into the dark waters and search what truth means to you. Be consciously aware of your truth and your belief about fairness. Get ready to challenge yourself and to discover new areas of your belief system.
Reversed
Unfairness, lack of accountability, dishonesty
The reversed Justice card can hint that inside, you know you’ve done something that isn’t morally right. You have a choice: you can cover it and hope nobody finds out, or you can take focused action to solve the situation by owning up to your mistakes.
Similarly, Justice reversed shows that you are not willing to take full responsibility for your actions and blame others for your mistakes. Assess your situation once more, trying to determine where you can take responsibility. Once you notice where you made a mistake, do whatever you can to make it right again. And you will free yourself from any guilt and empower yourself to make better decisions in the future.
The reversed Justice card can mean that your inner critic is in full impact. You may be evaluating your every single move and coming down hard on yourself. Show yourself a bit of kindness and compassion. We all make mistakes. Thank your inner judgment for trying to do best for everyone, but let yourself relax a bit and go with the flow.
If you are making a critical choice that will influence others, be aware if you are holding on to any discrimination or prejudice that could sway your decision unfairly. You may need to get more knowledge to make a balanced decision.
If you are engaged in a lawful circumstance, you may fear an unfair result. There may be legal difficulties or something that prevents justice from being served.
Three of Wands
Upright
Progress, expansion, foresight, overseas opportunities
The Three of Wands reveal that your plans are now initiated and you are examining even more chances to develop your current strategy. Everything is progressing firmly and as expected, thanks to your solid construction and ambition.
The Three of Wands indicates the many opportunities possible for you to expand your horizons through study, travel or business project. You are becoming more aware of the possibilities that exist for you right now. To take benefit of this potential, you must stay dedicated to your route and be adjusted to reach beyond your comfort zone, knowing your best hopes lie outside of your current environment.
The Three of Wands also brings your awareness to the difficulties that lie ahead. You are likely to be already conscious of the expected obstacles and can prepare for them ahead of time like the man in this card can see far away into the distance.
The Three of Wands could also point to travel, especially across the water. It inspires you to be courageous and endeavor to unknown places to explore more and learn many new things along the way. You may also explore worldwide business opportunities.
In a love reading, The Three of Wands hints that your relationship is heading to its next stage. If you’re in a more committed relationship, this can be a great moment to set view of your purposes as a couple and work together to reach those purposes.
Reversed
Playing small, lack of foresight, unexpected delays
The Reversed Three of Wands suggests that growth is possible for you, but you are choosing to play it safe. As a result, you are blocking yourself off from new possibilities by limiting your potential.
The Reversed Three of Wands shows that you have tried to start on your journey of individual development but did not fulfill your goals. Unexpected obstacles or blockages might have risen up on your path. There is a disappointment and you feel that you may have just misused your time by even beginning on this path. However, these setbacks are a necessary part of your life journey.
You may also struggle to put your plans into motion. It’s possible that you did not sufficiently plan for the difficulties on your path, or you were unrealistic about the dangers connected with your plans.
