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.
Queen of Pentacles
Upright
Nurturing, practical, providing financially, a working parent
The Queen of Pentacles illustrates a woman who is the nourishing mother in the physical realm. She reveals her love by cooking, keeping a clean and welcoming home, and giving warmness to people around her. She is also able to make financial participation in the home, often as the main provider.
When the Queen of Pentacles card shows up in a reading, you are the ideal employed parent model. You can keep harmony between home and job.
Similarly, the Queen of Pentacles reminds you to be independent, with solid revenue and with sufficient time to also nourish your loved ones. You may be working to discover a healthier balance between your house duties and your work.
The Queen of Pentacles symbolizes success and safety. You have struggled hard and made material safety. You have applied your economic success to build a cozy home environment and concentrated on spending in your family as your individual assets.
Sometimes, the Queen of Pentacles card describes a motherly and kind person you know who can nourish you to help you get over your difficulties.
Reversed
Financial independence, self-care, work-home conflict
The reversed Queen of Pentacles indicates that you are using that nurturing energy on yourself. You are building financial abundance, starting your own job or maintaining your life with your earnings.
In some cases, the reversed Queen of Pentacles shows that your business and home life are not stable and in harmony. You may be very overwhelmed by your job, spending extended hours at the job or carrying your work home. Additionally, your home living may be consuming much of your time, and you can’t give your concentration to your work.
Furthermore, a reversed Queen of Pentacles shows an internal struggle because of an unbalance between work and personal life. You may worry that you’re not giving your awareness to either one of them, despite your trying.
The Tower
Upright
Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, revelation, awakening
When the Tower card is shown in a Tarot reading, something unexpected will happen – massive transformation, outbreak, destruction or chaos. It may be a divorce, financial bankruptcy, health problems, job failure or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you in deep levels. Change is hereabouts to shred everything up, create chaos (but you should remember that it’s for your Highest Good).
Just when you’re safe in your comfort zone, a Tower moment strikes and throws you out of the loop. A sudden lightning bolt of insight cuts through the illusions you have been telling yourself, and now the truth comes to the surface. Your world may come tumbling down before you, in ways you could never have dreamed as you realize that you have been developing your life on weak foundations – false theories, mistruths, illusions, obvious lies, and so on. You are now questioning what is real and what you can rely upon and what you cannot believe. This can be very complicated because your core belief systems are tested. But, you will understand that your fundamental assumptions were built on a piece of false knowledge, and your new belief systems are more close to reality.
The best approach is to allow this destruction to happen so you can re-build. And with the Tower, you have no option but to surrender to the chaos, no matter how painful. This destruction will enable new growth to start.
After a Tower moment, you will be stronger and wiser. This moment is important for your spiritual maturity, even if you feel pain and stress during it.
Also, the Tower doesn’t always need to be a painful experience. If you are aware and in tune with your intuition, then this Tarot card can symbolize spiritual rebirth. You may be able to see the cracks appearing and take action before the whole comes falling down. You may create a huge alteration before you attain a position where transformation is your only choice.
Reversed
Personal transformation, fear of change, averting disaster
The Reversed Tower hints that you are undergoing a meaningful personal conversion. This differs from the upright Tower where the change is because of external factors and may even seem forced upon you. Instead, with the reversed Tower card, you are urging the change and questioning your underlying belief system. Or, in more dramatic states, you may go through an existential crisis where you severely question your life’s goal. While this can be an unsettling experience, trust in the process and know it is for the most beneficial. You are creating transformation so you can step into a developed version of yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Tower can be a warning that you are holding change and denying the inevitable destruction. However, you need to go through this hard time to learn a worthy lesson. And know that if you continue to hold this transformation, it will only push its way into your life more strongly.
Finally, the reversal of the Tower can decrease the influence of the transformation about to happen in your life.
