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.
Ace of Wands
Upright
Inspiration, new opportunities, growth, potential
Being an Ace, this Wands card offers you pure potential in your energetic realm. Impressions are flowing to you, motivating you to try a new path. You are open to getting new opportunities in life. An infinite possibility is accessible to you.
The Ace of Wands encourages you to live your passion. If you sense a strong pull towards a new path but are questioning it, then this card gives you a gentle push to proceed to your passion. Let your energy and dedication guide you.
Use your creative energy to take the first step. Even if you would like to plan out everything before you begin to step into a specific path, the Ace of Wands asks you to listen to your instincts. Start with some fundamentals to get things working, and then continue to develop. The essential thing is that you act now rather than wasting more time researching.
Don’t forget that the Aces represent pure potential but not guaranteed outcomes. The Ace of Wands (or any Ace) is an indication of a seed that has yet to blossom into something more extraordinary.
In a love reading the Ace of Wands signals desire and passion; things will be heating up! Your connection may take on a very sexual character at this moment, and the same time supports potential romances if you’re single. There is a good opportunity for rekindling the flames, and to feel more connected.
Reversed
An emerging idea, lack of direction, distractions, delays
The Reversed Ace of Wands hints that you can sense an idea rising from inside but are unsure what pattern it will take or how you will manifest it. You may have energy and passion, but you do not yet have a way to express them. You may be waiting for something to happen itself before you proceed to this idea. Or, you may not feel very confident and choose to keep your idea secret. All of these amazing ideas are appearing, but now you must find a method to provide this creative energy to set you up.
The reversed Ace of Wands can hint that you are finding it challenging to determine your mission in life and what you want to produce. To solve this stagnation, you need first to concentrate on where your true passions extend; there is no point in working towards a purpose if it does not excite you.
The reversed Ace of Wands may show that delays are preventing the progression of your projects. You are likely to feel very anxious. Timing is necessary for success, so be patient and wait for the best moment to move forward.
Ace of Cups
Upright
Love, new relationships, compassion, creativity.
With the Ace of Cups, Blessed love and kindness are flowing through you. You are full of deep love from Nature, and you let that love flow through you into the world. You accept love, you share love, you ARE love. Your spirit overflows.
Now is the perfect time for you to open your heart and feel the strong stream of passion. You are more open to creative possibilities, loving relationships, and deep empathy for other people. As with all Ace cards, this card also comes as an invite. The Ace of Cups brings the potential for emotional satisfaction – but only if you welcome it with an open heart.
This card often arrives in Tarot readings when you allow your emotions to radiate through your efforts. You may be excited to start a new plan. You are happy with who you are and freely show this part of yourself to other people. You see pure potential in allowing your creative spirits to move.
The Ace of Cups usually signifies a new connection, such as friendship, a new family relationship or blossoming love. Open yourself to sharing unconditional love, and you will see that love flows effortlessly when you are in this kind state of mind. The water indicates the flow of emotion.
There is a generous representation of the Ace of Cups, too. See this as a time of giving and make the most of any chance to help. You have the power to share your inner light, bringing joy to those around you.
Ultimately, the Ace of Cups can mean pregnancy or birth. Check the other cards in the reading for additional verification, such as the Empress, Page of Cups or Four of Wands. It also may mean the birth of a flash of inspiration – something in which you can spend plenty of creative energy.
Reversed
Self-love, intuition, repressed emotions.
In the reversed position, Ace Of Cups expresses love for oneself. So, before you give your love out to the universe, send love to yourself, filling up with Divine love.
The reversed Ace of Cups is a sign that you are in contact with your unconscious mind and harmonized with your intuition. You are searching for this part of yourself alone right now, and learning how you can bring more flow into your life.
The reversed Ace of Cups may be a warning that you are suppressing your emotions, not wanting to reveal yourself fully to the external world. You may worry that if you let your emotions flow, they might turn into an overrunning flood that can’t be turned off. However, be cautious that you do not create an inner blockage by suppressing how you feel. If you are not ready to share your emotions, you can find ways to free them privately, through journaling, movement, or crying your anxiety and anger out.
In a love reading, the reversed Ace of Cups can tell that you are keeping your emotions for worry of getting hurt. You know that you must believe in your lover for the relationship to move ahead, but, for now, you are holding back.
