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.
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.
Two Of Cups
Upright
Unified love, partnership, mutual attraction
If the Ace of Cups symbolizes the love from within, the Two of Cups is the love between two souls. With this card, you are creating deep connections, based on shared preferences, kindness, and absolute love. While these connections are still in the initial steps, they have the potential to grow into something deeply satisfying and rewarding. You have shared respect for one another, and you reach essential planes of knowledge and understanding.
When the Two of Cups card shows up in a Tarot reading, you may enter a new relationship, perhaps with a lover, friend or co-worker. You are both concentrated on creating a mutually helpful relationship.
In a romantic relationship, the Two of Cups shows a new union based on common attraction. There is both a bodily and spirit connection that leaves you dizzy and shaky at the knees. You bring out the best in each other and raise each other to even greater levels of potential. The transfer of emotion is deep, and you are both willing to do whatever it takes to hold one another. In some cases, the Two of Cups can point to marriage or engagement.
In a career reading, the Two of Cups is a symbol you are both on the same wavelength and share a similar vision with your business partner. A business like this – built on trust and mutual respect – is likely to win so long as you proceed to interact with one another and focus on your shared association.
Reversed
Self-love, break-ups, disharmony, distrust
The reversed Two of Cups is about love for yourself. When you love yourself completely, you welcome a life of happiness because you believe you deserve it. When you come from this point of self-love, you will have more fulfilling connections with other people.
Here is the shadow side of the reversed Two of Cups. Before you seek out your Prince Charming or tie the bond with your forever love, make sure you’ve fulfilled your cup with all that love liquid for yourself first. To find satisfaction in your relationships, find the love within you. No other soul, property, or success can do it for you.
The reversed Two of Cups can sometimes indicate a break-up. You are out of harmony with each other and don‘t experience the same loving connection you did in the past. Communication may be limited or delayed, and the energy flow between you extinguished. To change this situation, open up and share, and maintain a safe area for one another to express your feelings.
