Readings
Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Three of Swords
Upright
Heartbreak, emotional pain, sorrow, grief, hurt
When the Three of Swords shows up in a Tarot reading, it indicates that you are feeling deeply hurt. Your heart has been wounded by the sharp blades of hurtful words and behaviors, and they have caused strong emotions of sadness. These events are often sudden, making them even more depressing.
The Three of Swords is also about emotional freedom. When you have experienced a major difficulty or trouble, now is a great time to have a good cry. Exposing your sorrow is an important part of the cleansing process. Grant yourself the chance to feel these emotions, no matter how unpleasant.
The Three of Swords comes as a warning that pain, sadness, and despair are the unavoidable parts of life. Without pain, you would never encounter the difficulties you need to develop as a person. While the pain may darken your sight for a time, it will finally bring transparency and enable you to put the history behind you.
The Three of Swords card often arrives when you are allowing other peoples’ words to heart. Just learn that you should not take their words as truth; they are simply another person’s judgment or a projection of their personal fears. Change the energy by looking at these people with a sympathetic heart: what conflicts are they going through that they need to project their self-doubts at you? Be careful, too: why are their words bothering you? Is there a more deep truth in what they’ve said, one you might not be ready to see just yet? Use these to free your viewpoint and see the greater picture of what is going on.
If you’re in a relationship, this card can sometimes guide you to some kind of separation. In the worst-case scenario, it can also point to a third party creating a problem in your connection since it illustrates three swords. You and your partner may have to meet complex problems in order to stay together. Without open conversations, the relationship can end. If you’re single, it may be that grief from the past is impacting your ability to date again.
Reversed
Negative self-talk, releasing pain, optimism, forgiveness
The reversed Three of Swords urges you to pay awareness to your thoughts. Your words are important, particularly those you repeat to yourself in your head. When you catch these negative thoughts come up, question if you would never speak these words to a loved one, then why are you addressing these words to yourself? Look at how you can change your thoughts towards the positive to strengthen your self-esteem.
You may also be very sensitive to others’ words. Let go of the pain that these words are creating you.
The reversed Three of Swords can symbolize that you have recently gone through a difficult period, maybe a relationship has ended or been tested, a loved one has passed, or another situation that touched you deeply. The reversal of this card hints that this period has ended, and you are on the path to healing, understanding that there other things in your life that carry you happiness. You have reached a time where you are ready to move ahead.
If you are encountering difficulties in your relationships, the reversed Three of Swords remembers you to be the peacemaker. Always think before you talk, so you will not later be sorry for what you have said. And never be scared to say you are sorry.
The Magician
UPRIGHT
Manifestation, resources, inspired action
Magician is a master of manifestation and he will help your dreams come true with his resources and tools. If you want to start new job, new relationship or any new idea to change your life you have enough energy which contains spiritual, physical emotional and mental resources. Focus to your goal and don’t distract by any other thing. Bring your energy and love to your actions, because you are creative and capable of creating the future you want most.
Start to plan your progress and if it is right for you, you will see everything falling into their places as a puzzle.
The Magician is considered a lucky card, however, it can also be a sign that people which involved to your plans could be tricky and warns you about being more careful.
REVERSED
Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents
Reversed Magician shows that you are uncertain about how to manifest your wishes and not taking the action yet. You are not sure if you have anything to take a step forward or you may be unsure how to make it happen. You have to stay tuned with your goal and follow the arising opportunities. Or perhaps you are not clear about your approach and your end goal is out of alignment with your Highest Good and the Universe is sending you a “Stop!” sign.
Magician at reversed is not a true magic master anymore, it turns to illusionist. His magic is deception and trickery. You may be amazed from his show, but he could have a intention of selfish gain. You may be ask yourself whether you perform your acts for Highest good or just for your own benefit.
Getting this card in relationship reading might mean there is someone pretends to have your best interest, however the opposite is true.
