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.
The Moon
Upright
Illusion, fear, anxiety, dreams, subconscious, intuition
The Moon symbolizes your illusions and often shows up when you are projecting fear and worry into your present and your future, based on your past. You may have a depressing memory that caused emotional suffering, and rather than dealing with the emotions, you pushed them down into your subconsciousness. Now, these emotions are appearing again, and now you find yourself under their impact on your conscious or subconscious. To solve this, connect with your unconscious mind and free any fears holding you back. Hypnosis, treatment, and shamanic healing can be very helpful.
The Moon can symbolize a period of uncertainty. Be careful of making quick judgments and decisions when the Moon shows up because you may later realize that there was a hidden side of the situation. You need to trust your intuition so you can see beyond everything. Feel into circumstances rather than analyzing. Let go of your conscious mental barriers or negative thinking and let your intuition lead you. Your dreams and inner guidance guide you toward higher levels of understanding if you listen to the messages of the subconsciousness.
When the Moon card arrives in your Tarot reading, pay attention to the cycles of the moon and be in tune with its divineness by meditating. Once Zen meditators have opened their eyes, and they have seen the moon and out of their meditation, a certain phrase has emerged. Only through meditation will you be able to understand it; it is not poetry, it is not composed with the mind, it is a deep feeling in the heart.
One full moon;
stars numberless; the sky
dark green.
If you are in deep meditation and you see this dark sky with so many stars and a single moon, your silence will become very deeper.
Reversed
Release of fear, repressed emotion, inner confusion
The Moon reversed shows the negative impacts of fears and anxiety that you have been dealing with are descending. You are fighting through your fears, understanding them and free yourself from such limiting beliefs. This is a truly liberating practice.
You may try to avoid your darkness by burying these feelings even deeper within your unconscious. This strategy might work for a short period, but finally, you will need to bring to the surface these emotions and deal with them.
The Moon reversed can also show that you are accepting intuitive messages but it is difficult to understand what they signify for you. The message may be unclear. Trust that the solutions you need are already inside you, pay attention to your dreams, and tune in to your inner guidance to discover answers.

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.
