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.
Page of Swords
Upright
New ideas, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, new ways of communicating
The Page of Swords card shows a person with enthusiasm and motivation. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, you are full of new plans for the future. You may be thrilled about starting a new project, attempting a new method or learning something fresh. You feel as like you could do practically anything. The difficulty is whether you can continue it. As with all Page cards, the start always looks encouraging, but you need something else to keep up the movement.
The Page of Swords often appears when you are discovering a new way of thinking. You have a questioning mind and a desire for learning. You may be likely to make errors along the way, but you are excited to learn from your mistakes.
As the Swords cards link to communication, the Page of Swords implies that you are finding a distinctive way of expressing your thoughts and communicating your opinions. You may be attracted to speaking in public, writing a novel or a blog, beginning a podcast. You are ready to take the next step to send your messages to the world.
The Page of Swords can also describe your connection with a person who is exploring their capability to interact, share opinions, and gather knowledge. You need to stay open to their interest to get more knowledge about the world.
Reversed
Self-expression, all talk and no action, haphazard action, haste
The reversed Page of Swords can show up in a Tarot reading when you are staying back from communicating your truth, particularly in a public discussion. You like to declare your opinions personally or anonymously. Maybe you like to keep a secret journal, or you’re writing a text just for yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Page of Swords can indicate that you just speak without any action. Be cautious about making false commitments or saying something which you’ll later change. This reversed Page may try to surprise you with big stories, however, you later find out are great distortions of the truth.
In the reversed position, the Page of Swords can also hint you are acting recklessly, without considering things through. You have a lot of power but are not using it efficiently.
As this Page likes to ask questions, in reversal, it can be a warning that you are disturbing others by your continuous questioning. You may just be attempting to understand a circumstance or a thought better, there are more effective methods to go about it. Be aware of how you may come to others and only inquiry about those ideas that are essential to you.
Nine of Pentacles
Upright
Abundance, luxury, self-sufficiency, financial independence
The Nine of Pentacles card tells you have struggled to produce wealth in your life and now you can ultimately experience the outcomes. Thanks to your works and discipline, you achieved victory and a solid ground for your material wealth which you deserve. It is time to relax and appreciate the richness.
When the Nine of Pentacles shows up in a reading, do not be frightened to celebrate, particularly as a gift for all of your tough work. You have already accomplished so much work, and this is your chance to strengthen yourself for the final stage and recognize your successes.
The Nine of Pentacles card also talks about independence. The woman in this card inspires you to do the similar – to create wealth and freedom and you can take care of yourself. Spend carefully and don’t depend on other people.
While the suit of Pentacles typically concentrates on physical richness, this card also implies that you are in balance with the atmosphere around you. You enjoy the beauty of nature, and you can explore its power to bring enjoyment to you.
Reversed
Self-worth, over-investment in work, hustling
The reversed Nine of Pentacles card reminds you that right now you need to appreciate yourself. When you notice this card, take the chance to think about your own insight of self-respect.
You may inquire if your abilities are relevant if you can require higher rates or request for a salary increase. Understand that you rate to be rich in all aspects of the term.
Furthermore, you may concentrate on developing your confidence. Spend for yourself and improve your self-love.
In some cases, the reversed Nine of Pentacles can show up when you are working too hard and deceiving yourself that you have no time to experience the results of your work.
On the other hand, the reversed Nine of Pentacles implies, if some of your special interests block you out of your life priorities, you should consider clearing some of your requirements for it. You may believe you need the greatest of everything but, actually, all you lack is your family, friends and important people around you.
The Chariot
Upright
Control, willpower, success, action, determination
The Chariot is a card of willpower, courage, and strength. You have learned how to make decisions according to your values with the Lovers card, and now you are taking action on those decisions. When the Chariot arrives in a Tarot reading, take it as a sign of motivation. You have set your goals and are now directing your inner power with a deep commitment to bringing them to fulfillment. When you apply discipline to achieve your goals, you will be successful.
You may be pulled in conflicting directions for your conviction to be tested. Chariot is an invitation to move upon your willpower and home in on what’s necessary to you, so you can push past the barriers in your way.
The Chariot calls you to be courageous. Be clear in expressing your desires and defining your boundaries.
In a very exact understanding, the Chariot can describe travel. You may even be considering taking a road trip to roam the country!
Reversed
Self-discipline, opposition, lack of direction
Unlike the upright Chariot which is a green light to move ahead, the Reversed Chariot advises you to ‘back up the truck’. You might be trying to push a project forward too hard when really, you must back off or change direction. Or you might have lost your urge and no longer feel as committed to the result as you did when you started. So, if something is not moving forward as you planned, re-evaluate the situation and check-in to see whether it’s a hint that you need to change direction.
At times, the reversed Chariot is a warning that you are letting challenges get in the way, preventing you from accomplishing what you set out to do. It’s all getting too hard, and you don’t have the will to go on. If that resonates think about the things that mean most to you and why you want to complete this goal. Will you allow other people’s judgments to affect you or give up as soon as the going gets hard? Or will you follow through on your dedication?
If you like to have control over your fate and know where you are heading, this is the time to tighten the controls and become more disciplined in what you are doing. While feeling a loss of power can be quite demotivating, the key is to know what you can control and what you cannot. Focus your energies on what is in your control. Examine what you can do to enhance the situation.
Similarly, the Chariot reversed advises that you may be trying to control every small detail in your life. Loosen your fist and let things run their way. You do not always have to sit in the driver’s seat!
