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.
Temperance
Upright
Balance, moderation, patience, purpose
Temperance is the card for making balance into your life. It is time to stabilize your energy and to allow the life force to flow through you without additional effort. Recover flow and you can get your life back into harmony.
This card invites you to stay calm, even when life feels stressful. Maintain an even temper and watch your emotions. You have learned to keep prepared in harsh situations. Little details don’t get to you, because of your rich patience. Your respect for tranquillity is what will help you feel fulfillment in your life.
The Temperance card invites you to take the middle path and receive all viewpoints. It’s not the time to be extremely stubborn. Be the observer and try to avoid any extremes.
This Tarot card is about alchemy by mixing and combining different components in a way that produces something new.
The Temperance card explains that you have a pure sight of what you want to accomplish. Don’t rush things; you should take your time to guarantee that you do the best of you. You know you need a gentle, guided strategy to reach your aims.
Finally, this card indicates very important knowledge. You are achieving a big understanding of where you are at peace with what you are doing. Your intuition is leading you to the result, and you are calmly following.
Reversed
Imbalance, excess, self-healing, re-alignment
If you’re undergoing a phase of dissipation, the Reversed Temperance card is your signal to recover balance as soon as possible. You may have been eating too much, habitually drinking, over-buying, or involving in negative thinking patterns. These activities are taking you further away from your true self. So, it is time to stop and bring your life back into balance.
The reversed Temperance card could also be a warning you feel that something is ‘absent’ in your life, producing tension. Life is not progressing as smoothly as you had expected or you feel that something is not right. You can carry on with life as normal by ignoring it. But, you should notice Temperance’s lesson: If you wait in this situation for too long, that voice will just get louder. Or, you can accept it now and make the required improvements to discover your flow again.
The reversed Temperance card could be an invitation for healing and re-examining your life priorities. By building more stability and balance in your life, you open the possibility of adjusting your higher vibration.
Knight Of Swords
Upright
Ambitious, action-oriented, driven to succeed, fast-thinking
The Knight of Swords is on a mission, as with other Knights in the Tarot deck – he has set his mind on something and nothing is holding him. Being a Swords card, this Knight actively uses the energy of his mind to achieve his goals.
When the Knight of Swords shows up in a Tarot reading, it is a hint that you are very motivated and ambitious. The difficulties and restrictions on the path don’t frighten you because you know where you need to go. Move forward with pure determination to get things to happen.
The Knight of Swords implies that you take action fast without planning. You succeed on high levels of enthusiasm that drive you and stimulate you to manifest your dreams.
The Knight of Swords reminds you to be confident in getting what you want. He doesn’t wait for something to happen. He is always doing the first movement and actively chasing his goals.
The bad side of the quick-acting Knight of Swords is that sometimes you act too fast and haven’t fully analyzed your decisions through. You may be careless of potential difficulties and problems or the results of your actions. You may be likely to rush things to get a job done. Or, you may track a specific purpose, thinking it is what you want, but later understand that it’s a dead-end. A little planning and arrangement can go a long distance.
The Knight of Swords also signifies your need to know life from an intellectual viewpoint. You have advanced communication abilities and can quickly form solid thoughts and ideas. You love to join with others who have related skills so that you can generate a new perspective by sharing ideas.
Reversed
Restless, unfocused, impulsive, burn-out
The reversed Knight of Swords can show up in a Tarot reading when you are bursting with energy and impulse but cannot efficiently direct and deliver it. You are getting restless and anxious because you want to make progress, but something is keeping you back. Maybe the timing isn’t right, you don’t have enough supplies, or you’re depending on someone else. You need to discover a different plan to channel this energy.
Furthermore, the reversed Knight of Swords implies that you are making reckless and spontaneous decisions. You don’t have mental discipline, and you are continually changing your mind. You need to use a singular focus; choose a plan and then work on it until it is finished.
The reversed Knight of Swords can also recommend that you should relax down; otherwise, you can be very exhausted and burned out. You want to be included in everything, but you are not accomplishing anything. Take some time off so that you can ground yourself, assemble your thoughts and focus on only your highest priorities.
