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 Swords
Upright
Breakthroughs, new ideas, mental clarity, success
The Ace of Swords signals a ripple of new energy from the mental realms. You may be on the edge of an important discovery or a new way of thinking that enables you to view the world with fresh eyes. Or, you may have a sudden understanding of a problem that has been troubling you and you can view the route ahead. Meditate daily to clean away the mind chatter and gain the most of this mental potential.
See this card as a sign of hope. It states your mind is expanding. You are open to welcoming new ideas. You grow on new ideas, motivation, and vision, and you are excited to track new possibilities that draw upon your creative abilities.
When the Ace of Swords shows up in a Tarot reading, it says you that now is a great time to start a new project. As an Ace, you are at the start of the journey, but you can feel the energy rising up and can’t wait to get started. If you direct this energy into the right movements, then you will succeed in your endeavors.
As with all Swords cards, the Ace of Swords expresses power; but the sword is double-edged, meaning that it can build and finish. The message is obvious: with authority comes responsibility. You will need a powerful heart and mind and use your power for the help of others and yourself.
The Ace of Swords also helps you to track the truth of the circumstance and to find equity. You have great transparency on the circumstance and can now defend your point of view.
Reversed
Inner clarity, re-thinking an idea, clouded judgement
The Ace of Swords reversed symbolizes that a new idea is arising from within you, but you are not ready to share it with people. You may still be searching what this idea means for you and how to best manifest it in the outside world. You may also seek more transparency about whether this is a plan you wish to pursue more. When this card shows up in a Tarot reading, it’s essential to give yourself time and space and free your mind.
At times, the reversed Ace of Swords can be a sign you have an idea that’s not coming to success in the form you had expected, and it’s time to go back to the starting point. You may still be tracking an idea that no longer has any sense for you. This card asks you to use more time on describing in common terms what it is you need. Concentrate on the basics and do some better preparation. Be certain about your ambitions and purposes.
The reversed Ace of Swords can also imply blurred judgment and a lack of rational certainty around a particular situation. You are missing important information that will benefit you decide, so spend your time and energy into endeavoring out the facts.
Ace of Pentacles
Upright
A new financial or career opportunity, manifestation, abundance
The Ace of Pentacles signifies starts, possibilities, and potential like the other Aces of the Tarot – and as a Pentacles card, these beginnings relate to the material realm: investments, money, profession and bodily health. You may get a new job request, a surprising amount of money, a new business occasion. No matter the circumstance, the Ace of Pentacles announces a feeling of success and wealth in the material spheres of your life. It surely comes as a welcome message. As with all Aces, this card represents the possibility of a new attempt but does not guarantee its completion because it will be up to you.
The Ace of Pentacles indicates the first steps of manifesting your purposes and ensures that you can accomplish what you have set your mind to do. This card urges you to map out how you will reach your goals, build plans and get those efforts started.
The Ace of Pentacles also signifies abundance, not just for your bank account but in every way. You may explore chances to generate a new source of revenue or you may have a fortune to produce wealth in a wider sense – joy, satisfaction, and love.
Reversed
Lost opportunity, lack of planning and foresight
When the reversed Ace of Pentacles arrives in a reading, you may feel reluctant about moving ahead with an opportunity, especially one that relates to your career or investments. You may be wondering whether you have what it takes to review it through. Don’t move ahead until you’re ready. Evaluate the probability of your plan and its potential consequences.
The reversed Ace of Pentacles may also be a signal that a business opportunity could drop unexpectedly.
Moreover, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests you be very cautious with your expenses. When the card is reversed, the coin seems as it’s about to drop out of the hand. Be practical in case you are without a job or have a big and unforeseen financial expense.
Sometimes, the reversed Ace of Pentacles suggests that you are working on your goals but keep falling into setbacks and other obstacles. If you’re having restricted success, then you may need to review your aimed approach.
