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.
Three of Cups
Upright
Celebration, friendship, creativity, collaborations
The Three of Cups is a card of party, friendship, and creative collaborations. Your friends are here to encourage you and lift you to even higher levels of achievement. Rejoice with them and appreciate their friendship.
When the Three of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you are urged to meet with your closest friends and have a pleasant time together. Together, you give and accept the love and empathy. Your energy is high, and you’re here to do astonishing things together.
The Three of Cups often indicates a sociable gathering – such as a anniversary, a marriage, or a holiday with friends. See it as your possibility to forget about your daily responsibilities and duties for a while. Spend good time with friends and family and have a fun!
This card also invites you to cooperate with others on a productive project and encourage one another to attain new aims. Collectively, you are working towards a common purpose, and by reaching out to others, you can accomplish a great deal of work.
Reversed
Independence, alone time, hardcore partying, third-party
While the upright Three of Cups is a card of friendship and social situations, the reversal of this card implies that you would like to go it single right now. You may have lately spent a lot of time with other people and now just need some lone time. Or perhaps you are no longer ‘matching’ with a social group and are willing to move on. Or sometimes, you might find yourself excluded from other people’s gatherings and feeling isolated. Acknowledge your desire to be out of the social groups for a while and enjoy this time by yourself.
If you are involved in a project, now may be the time to work individually rather than in a gathering. Your creativity is being blocked, or you are being made to adapt to the group. You may be one who does things a particular way and is not open to modification or alternative methods. You need to consider whether you are ready to surrender your creative skills in favour of the group’s wishes.
On the other meaning, the Three of Cups reversed may signify overindulgence. You may be out most nights partying, doing drugs or drinking heavily when what you need is balance in your life. Take a break from the social scene.
The reversed Three of Cups can show up in a third-party situation. You may be connected with someone who is already in a relationship with someone else, whether you know it or not. Check the other cards for more detail. The Seven of Swords indicates a deception and possible cheating. If Five of Swords is in your reading, you likely already know about the other connection, but you are trying to neglect. If there is the Devil, recognize the nature of the connection.
