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.
Knight of Pentacles
Upright
Hard work, productivity, routine, conservatism
The Knight of Pentacles signifies effort and commitment that comes after the new ideas of the Page. This Knight is the most systematic and diligent nature of the deck. Maybe he is not the most creative Knight among the others, but even if his job is extremely monotonous he’ll do it to acquire the outcomes.
This card indicates that you are striving towards your aims. You have created a plan and are holding to it to get the work completed. You may not work especially fast, but you are working consistently. This card also invites you to maintain doing what you are doing and making regular growth.
The Knight of Pentacles notes that you are a real planner and executer. You visualize your purpose, decide the best plan of work, and then attach to your route with a constant focus. Careful in your program, you be certain that everything is designed and completed.
In some cases, the Knight of Pentacles card shows the more ordinary aspects of life – the daily work, monotonous programs, house duties, and other commitments. You may have a task to do, and you will have to invest your energy to see that work done to the end.
The Knight of Pentacles implies that you have a managed and traditional insight to life right now, and you are holding to your old methods of doing things. You have discovered that you need thorough preparation if you are to reach your goals. It may not certainly be an interesting time, but you know you are on the correct path.
Reversed
Self-discipline, boredom, feeling ‘stuck’, perfectionism
The reversed Knight of Pentacles urges you to set a program for yourself and attach to it, instead of seeking new ideas.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles may also indicate the self-improvement, in which constant activities will boost your progress. Ordinary duties related to home, career or other daily tasks have been left aside because now you concentrate on more interesting or major possibilities.
Or you have become highly traditionalist and repellent to develop. Try to be exposed to new adventures.
The reversed Knight of Pentacles can also suggest that you are an idealist in your strategy to work. Are being overly judgmental of other people or instantly disappointed when their work is not at an equal quality like yours?
Ace of Cups
Upright
Love, new relationships, compassion, creativity.
With the Ace of Cups, Blessed love and kindness are flowing through you. You are full of deep love from Nature, and you let that love flow through you into the world. You accept love, you share love, you ARE love. Your spirit overflows.
Now is the perfect time for you to open your heart and feel the strong stream of passion. You are more open to creative possibilities, loving relationships, and deep empathy for other people. As with all Ace cards, this card also comes as an invite. The Ace of Cups brings the potential for emotional satisfaction – but only if you welcome it with an open heart.
This card often arrives in Tarot readings when you allow your emotions to radiate through your efforts. You may be excited to start a new plan. You are happy with who you are and freely show this part of yourself to other people. You see pure potential in allowing your creative spirits to move.
The Ace of Cups usually signifies a new connection, such as friendship, a new family relationship or blossoming love. Open yourself to sharing unconditional love, and you will see that love flows effortlessly when you are in this kind state of mind. The water indicates the flow of emotion.
There is a generous representation of the Ace of Cups, too. See this as a time of giving and make the most of any chance to help. You have the power to share your inner light, bringing joy to those around you.
Ultimately, the Ace of Cups can mean pregnancy or birth. Check the other cards in the reading for additional verification, such as the Empress, Page of Cups or Four of Wands. It also may mean the birth of a flash of inspiration – something in which you can spend plenty of creative energy.
Reversed
Self-love, intuition, repressed emotions.
In the reversed position, Ace Of Cups expresses love for oneself. So, before you give your love out to the universe, send love to yourself, filling up with Divine love.
The reversed Ace of Cups is a sign that you are in contact with your unconscious mind and harmonized with your intuition. You are searching for this part of yourself alone right now, and learning how you can bring more flow into your life.
The reversed Ace of Cups may be a warning that you are suppressing your emotions, not wanting to reveal yourself fully to the external world. You may worry that if you let your emotions flow, they might turn into an overrunning flood that can’t be turned off. However, be cautious that you do not create an inner blockage by suppressing how you feel. If you are not ready to share your emotions, you can find ways to free them privately, through journaling, movement, or crying your anxiety and anger out.
In a love reading, the reversed Ace of Cups can tell that you are keeping your emotions for worry of getting hurt. You know that you must believe in your lover for the relationship to move ahead, but, for now, you are holding back.
