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 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!
Two of Pentacles
Upright
Multiple priorities, time management, prioritisation, adaptability
When the Two of Pentacles card indicates that you are juggling your preferences and responsibilities. In the upright position, this card notes you are doing a good job of coordinating various priorities; but the number Two cautions you that the line between coping with these requirements and missing control is thin. You need to control your resources thoroughly so you do not lose your stability.
The Two of Pentacles often shows up when you are active, hurrying from one thing to the next, with little resting in between. You may think that you haven‘t got sufficient time. However, learn that you don’t have to be busy to complete things. Similarly, the Two of Pentacles can arrive when you are taken up in the daily tasks and losing view of the big picture.
The Two of Pentacles card encourages you to control your time and your preferences correctly. Your workload is huge right now, and to get everything completed, you need to stay concentrated. Essential time management is important to your experience to balance these different preferences. This card also suggests you pay proper attention to your overall management, including handling investments, staying on top of your responsibilities. Be mindful that you do not miss crucial meetings and other commitments.
This card calls your perception of the concept of balance. Endeavor for balance, nothing ever waits in absolute harmony. For example, maintaining your employment and household responsibilities seems excellent, but in fact, your relationships could be more high-priority one week and career the next one. So, the appearance Two of Pentacles in a Tarot reading is a notice to be tolerant and adaptable.
Reversed
Over-committed, disorganisation, reprioritisation
In a reversed position, the Two of Pentacles signals that you are overly active and striving to manage your overloaded agenda or stay on top of your checks. Others might not understand it yet, but the pressure is getting to you and you may even find yourself being anxious and upset. Observe this card’s lesson and get settled. You may need to bring the arrangement to your obligations through planning. Remove tasks that are no longer in adjustment with your purposes.
The reversed Two of Pentacles can be alerting you that you are spending in one scope of your life at the cost of others.
The reversed Two of Pentacles encourages you to reevaluate your decisions and determine where you want to apply your resources. Disturbances are plenty, and it will take your focus to stay true to your purposes. Pick the one thing you need to focus on so you can give it your complete concentration and you will reach achievement.
