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 Devil
Upright
Shadow self, attachment, addiction, restriction, sexuality
The Devil card symbolizes your shadow side and the negative forces that hold you back from being the best version of yourself. You may be at the effect of negative obsessions, thought patterns or addictions. You have found yourself caught between the momentary pleasure. Just as the Lovers card, Devil also speaks to duality; however, you are choosing the path of immediate satisfaction with the Devil, even if it costs your long-term health. Just like you have sold your soul to the Devil!
The Devil card often arrives when you have been thinking you have no control over your dark side, and that you can never break free from the hold of negative forces. However, deep down, you know it does harm to you, and you are doing it yourself damage when you trap into these needs with lower vibration. You need to accept the hold they have on you to break free of these negative addictions.
On the positive meaning, the Devil can also present a powerful attachment between two people, such as a new love affair still in its ‘honeymoon stage’. Be careful, because, with the Devil card, this healthy attachment could also turn into a co-dependent bond if you lose touch with your intuition.
The Devil could also signify your wild side and sexuality in a love reading. Also, it can symbolize strong chemistry and sexual attraction with your partner. You may be exploring your darkest and wildest fantasies. If you can do this within a safe space, it could be a very enriching adventure. However, it can easily turn into something that may be threatening or harmful to your being, so, set clear limits ready to go.
Reversed
Releasing limiting beliefs, exploring dark thoughts, detachment
The reversed Devil card can often be shown when you are on the boundary of a breaking point. You are being invited to your greatest potential, however, you must let go of any harmful habits or restricting beliefs that may hold you back. Let go of concerns and release any limiting beliefs standing in the way of your growth. It is easier than you think.
The reversed Devil calls on you to drop things you know are dangerous to you and your personality. It could be about creating a healthy diet, using less social media, quitting drinking and smoking, spending more time in nature, or focusing more on your purposes.
The reversed Devil may also be a warning that you are hiding your darkest self from other people as a secret. You may have thoughts or fantasies that you don’t want others to know because you feel ashamed. There is also a need to admit who you are and forgive yourself for the ideas you have.
Finally, the Devil reversed encourages you to train the detachment state, a state in which you defeat your attachment to the longing for things, people or ideas, and free yourself. It doesn’t mean you don’t care for them; you free yourself from dependency.
Four of Wands
Upright
Celebration, joy, harmony, relaxation, homecoming
The Four of Wands symbolizes celebration, ecstatic happiness and gratitude for the nice things in life. You may celebrate a meaningful event or anniversary such as a marriage, birthday, homecoming or reconciliation. Relax and enjoy this extraordinary time together!
The Four of Wands could also indicate that you are returning home. You feel secure, knowing you are with people who love and care about you.
Because the Four of Wands connects so closely with the home atmosphere, you maybe renovating your house or are close to finding a new one. Or you recently bought a home and are getting ready to settle down.
The Four of Wands tells you that after a period of fast growth, it’s now time to rest and rejoice what you have accomplished so far. Sit back for a moment and enjoy the products of your work.
The number four signifies balance and strong foundations, and with the Four of Wands, you are now enjoying a period of security. This card symbolizes a sense of harmony as well as fulfillment.
In a love reading, Four Wands could signify finding a soulmate or twin flame. You are in a stable relationship built on trust and harmony and your connection may be strengthened even more with the care and witness of your family and friends.
Reversed
Personal celebration, inner harmony, conflict with others, transition.
The Reversed Four of Wands can show that you are celebrating the fulfillment of a personal purpose, for example, reaching your goal weight, quitting some bad habit, or doing meditation for 21 days in a row. You do not feel life announcing this achievement to others, instead, creating your own special award for the hard work you did.
The Reversed Four of Wands also has its shadow side by pointing to a lack of harmony in connection in your household. Tension might be growing between family members or loved ones, and you keep finding yourself getting caught up in other people’s interests and problems. You may also go through a period of transformation in your home life and feel some discomfort as a consequence.
While the upright Four of Wands indicates stability, the reversal can imply that you are going through an outbreak. You may encounter multiple changes in your life. While you know this is an essential change, it can be very unsettling and making you feel unsure about your future.
