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.
The Star
Upright
Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality
As the Star is next card after the Tower in the Tarot, it comes as a fresh start after a time of destruction and turbulence. You have endured many challenges and freed yourself from any limiting beliefs that were previously holding you back. No matter what life sends you, you know that you are always united to the loving energy of Divine. You hold a new sense of self, new gratitude for your Essence.
The Star brings refreshed hope and a feeling that you are truly blessed by the Universe. You are entering a peaceful phase in your life with a more deep knowledge of both yourself and the people around you. This is a time of meaningful personal growth and progress as you are now ready to receive the many graces of the Universe.
With the Star card, anything is possible and the magic is moving around you. Allow yourself to dream and to aspire in any way possible so you can touch the stars.
You may also want to rediscover meaning and direction in your life. You are making some important differences in your life, transforming yourself to the new you and, in doing so, you are producing about a fresh viewpoint. This is a great spiritual journey that will renew your inner vitality.
The Star also suggests an overflowing spirit. You want to share your resources with others to help change their lives. You have an open heart, and you now want to share the blessings you gained so that other people may benefit.
Reversed
Lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection
The reversed Star card can suggest that you’ve lost belief and hope. You may be feeling defeated by life’s difficulties right now and asking why you are being put through this. You may be desperately questioning the Universe to give you some release but can’t see how the Divine is on your side. Take a moment to ask yourself what life lesson is in the situation, and how this is beneficial to you but is not a punishment.
Often, the reversed Star is a test of faith. When confronted with a challenging situation, you can either disintegrate like the Tower or stand strong in your faith that the Divine is everywhere. You will also learn how to trust not only in the Universe but also in yourself. Divine flows through you, and when you have confidence in yourself, you allow the Divine to radiate through.
The Star reversed also reveals that you are uninspired with life or parts of your life (for example, work, love, projects, etc.). Perhaps you began with great enthusiasm, but you are now finding yourself overwhelmed by day-to-day routines that are dull. In career readings, this card is particularly suitable when you feel detached from the work you do and question if it’s time to make a change. Try to connect to what is truly meaningful to you again. Adjust your life with this goal, and you will find new sources of inspiration.
The reversed Star urges you to take time for nourishment on a deeply spiritual level. Your energy resources may be exhausted, so rather than forcing yourself further, make time just for you.
Page of Wands
Upright
Inspiration, ideas, discovery, limitless potential, free spirit
With the Page of Wands, you prefer to give anything a go. You embrace the possibility to start on a new journey and see where it takes you. You do not have a fixed plan, but you are enthusiastic about the opportunities.
The appearance of the Page of Wands shows that you are experiencing creative excitement, however, the Page is staying still and his wand is planted on the earth – he is not moving anywhere yet. You still need to take your imaginative sparkle and ground it down so that it is ready to be fulfilled in the physical world. You may need to map out your plan or create a few trials.
The Page of Wands can show up when a spiritual path may be inviting you. You have an inquisitive mind and are interested to see where this call might lead. While you are very much the amateur when it comes to this spiritual journey, you are open to the knowledge and keen to learn new levels of awareness. You may get help from a mentor, someone who has wandered your path before and can now guide you forward.
Reversed
Newly-formed ideas, redirecting energy, self-limiting beliefs, a spiritual path
The reversed Page of Wands implies that you can feel something new rising within you, but you don’t know how to turn it into action. You may have the seed of an opinion or a general feeling that something new is happening, but you are yet to manifest it in the world. You do not need to make progress yet – in fact, doing so may be harmful since this idea is in the early steps of development. Just ‘play’ with the idea and let it evolve. Do not make it; sit in the imaginative void and allow it to open itself.
On the other meaning, the reversed Page of Wands can suggest that you tried many new adventures, however, these have not turned out as you had expected. You may have had the dream to start a new project with the sense that it would reach something more significant, but you understood that you took the incorrect way. Try to prefer another way to display the idea, and be prepared to redefine your route to stay in harmony with your personal maturity goals.
Finally, the reversed Page of Wands may also show up when you are exploring a new way of spiritual discovery. It is likely to be an extraordinary spiritual path. So, you are keeping this journey secret. You acknowledge, too, that motivation comes from inside, rather than looking to others for the solutions.
Eight of Swords
Upright
Negative thoughts, self-imposed restriction, imprisonment, victim mentality
The Eight of Swords shows that you feel limited and trapped in your situation. You believe your choices are restricted with no open way out. You are now caught between a rock and a hard place, with no solution possible. However, be aware that the woman in the card is not completely held by the eight swords surrounding her, and if she wanted to leave, she could. She only needs to lift the blindfold and release herself from the ties.
When the Eight of Swords arrives in a Tarot reading, it comes as a notice that your thoughts and beliefs are no longer serving you. You may be thinking too much, forming negative thought patterns and making the worst scenario. The more you think about the circumstances, the more you feel puzzled and without any decisions. It is time to go out of your head and let go of those beliefs holding you back. Try to change negative perceptions, and you will start to build more desirable circumstances for yourself.
You already possess the resources you need, you just need to gain a new perspective and use your resources. Others may be suggesting you help, or there may be another resolution you haven’t yet fully explored.
The Eight of Swords is often connected with victim psychology. You may be feeling that it isn’t your guilt – you have been put here against your wish. You may be waiting to be saved.
This card is asking you to stop thinking and drop down into your heart so you can hear your inner guidance. Your mind is not helping you right now, but your feeling is.
Reversed
Self-limiting beliefs, inner critic, releasing negative thoughts, open to new perspectives
The reversed Eight of Swords implies that restricting beliefs weaken you, stopping you from moving ahead. You may think that you do not earn to be rich, limiting yourself from getting abundance even if it’s granted to you. The opinions you hold about yourself are stopping you from obtaining your private goals. In the knowledge of this, switch your belief system. Detect when you are thinking negatively and break the cycle.
On the positive view, when the Eight of Swords arrives reversed, it can tell that you are freeing yourself from pessimistic thought patterns and beliefs. You can create a wonderful reality for yourself by letting go of those limiting faiths. You made it through a hard time, and you are more open to transformation and self-acceptance. Think about what helped in the past and improved your viewpoint and strategy. Declare the opportunities in front of you and stop playing the role of the victim by taking higher responsibility for your life.
