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.
Ace of Pentacles
Upright
A new financial or career opportunity, manifestation, abundance
The Ace of Pentacles signifies starts, possibilities, and potential like the other Aces of the Tarot – and as a Pentacles card, these beginnings relate to the material realm: investments, money, profession and bodily health. You may get a new job request, a surprising amount of money, a new business occasion. No matter the circumstance, the Ace of Pentacles announces a feeling of success and wealth in the material spheres of your life. It surely comes as a welcome message. As with all Aces, this card represents the possibility of a new attempt but does not guarantee its completion because it will be up to you.
The Ace of Pentacles indicates the first steps of manifesting your purposes and ensures that you can accomplish what you have set your mind to do. This card urges you to map out how you will reach your goals, build plans and get those efforts started.
The Ace of Pentacles also signifies abundance, not just for your bank account but in every way. You may explore chances to generate a new source of revenue or you may have a fortune to produce wealth in a wider sense – joy, satisfaction, and love.
Reversed
Lost opportunity, lack of planning and foresight
When the reversed Ace of Pentacles arrives in a reading, you may feel reluctant about moving ahead with an opportunity, especially one that relates to your career or investments. You may be wondering whether you have what it takes to review it through. Don’t move ahead until you’re ready. Evaluate the probability of your plan and its potential consequences.
The reversed Ace of Pentacles may also be a signal that a business opportunity could drop unexpectedly.
Moreover, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests you be very cautious with your expenses. When the card is reversed, the coin seems as it’s about to drop out of the hand. Be practical in case you are without a job or have a big and unforeseen financial expense.
Sometimes, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests that you are working on your goals but keep falling into setbacks and other obstacles. If you’re having restricted success, then you may need to review your aimed approach.
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.
Seven of Cups
Upright
Opportunities, choices, wishful thinking, illusion
The Seven of Cups card represents new possibilities, options, and at times, an illusion. When the Seven of Cups show up in a Tarot reading, you have many choices but be careful! You are prone to confusion and unrealistic goals. An opportunity with promises of more abundance may seem appealing, but as you look deeper, you may realize it is more complicated. Evaluate your opportunities and dig underneath the surface to explore what’s included with each option.
Usually, the Seven of Cups can be a hint of enthusiastic thinking and dreaming, rather than taking action to make it happen. However, if you spend most of your time dreaming but not acting, then it’s time to decide just one thing and make it happen.
The Seven of Cups may be a symbol of that you neglect to see any of those new possibilities through to the end. When you are regularly in the idea stage, you miss the chance to bring your designs to realization. Again, now is a time to concentrate on the one thing that will move you closer to your goal.
This card is calling you to move out of the dreaming phase and choose. Each option will have its pros and cons, so make sure that your choice is in alignment with your purpose – even if you feel slightly paralyzed by the opportunities accessible to you.
Reversed
Alignment, personal values, overwhelmed by choices
The reversed Seven of Cups often shows up when you encounter different choices and, instead of choosing the opportunity that may please others, you are relying on your inner guidance to tell you the best approach. You may have your own rules to help you make choices in association with your inner being.
If you find yourself with multiple choices, teach yourself first and think about what you want for a longer time. All these bright new things in front of you have a specific ‘magic’ control over you right now, and you’re losing your focus if you chase after false dreams.
The reversed Seven of Cups can suggest you are confused by choice and cannot move ahead. Reduce your alternatives and focus on what is essential to you. You don’t need to keep seeking a significant idea; you have what you need. Make your selection and move ahead with it.
