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.
King of Wands
Upright
Natural-born leader, vision, entrepreneur, honour
The King of Wands signifies pure fire energy in its powerful form. Unlike the other Wands suit cards, the King is not so involved in creativity. Instead, he is more likely to take an idea and engage others to help him accomplish it. When the King of Wands appears in a Tarot reading, it is a clue you are stepping into the role of an idealistic leader, ready to lead your people towards a common purpose. You have a clear insight into where you want to go, and now you are manifesting that idea with the assistance of people around you. Others naturally drift towards you because you are charismatic, concentrated, and strong-minded, and they trust you.
The King of Wands suggests you direct your life with a long-term outlook. You have an idea of what is truly reasonable. Unlike the Knight who can be a little spontaneous with his actions, you have the capability to see your idea through right to the beyond. You gain a lot because you are clear about your path and do not spend your time on actions you think will take you nowhere. You never just go with the wind; instead, you prefer to begin on a straight path of progress.
Reversed
Impulsiveness, haste, ruthless, high expectations
The reversed King of Wands implies that while you are in leadership, you are not willing to be in that role. You may be the creative person in your business, but you are not comfortable with leading others towards your idea. You may need to work on your leadership abilities or get the help of someone who has an original gift at directing others towards a common purpose.
Sometimes, the reversed King of Wands can be offensive and even domineering in the pursuit of his aims. Be careful that as you attempt towards your dream, you are not dis-empowering other people or taking their participation for granted. You need their assistance one hundred percent of the plan. Be part of a team and carry on what is required of you, even as the legal leader of the organization.
The reversed King of Wands urges you against placing unrealistic expectations for yourself and others. While you are highly energetic, you may be setting purposes that are out of reach and then pushing hard to reach those impossible goals.
Two Of Cups
Upright
Unified love, partnership, mutual attraction
If the Ace of Cups symbolizes the love from within, the Two of Cups is the love between two souls. With this card, you are creating deep connections, based on shared preferences, kindness, and absolute love. While these connections are still in the initial steps, they have the potential to grow into something deeply satisfying and rewarding. You have shared respect for one another, and you reach essential planes of knowledge and understanding.
When the Two of Cups card shows up in a Tarot reading, you may enter a new relationship, perhaps with a lover, friend or co-worker. You are both concentrated on creating a mutually helpful relationship.
In a romantic relationship, the Two of Cups shows a new union based on common attraction. There is both a bodily and spirit connection that leaves you dizzy and shaky at the knees. You bring out the best in each other and raise each other to even greater levels of potential. The transfer of emotion is deep, and you are both willing to do whatever it takes to hold one another. In some cases, the Two of Cups can point to marriage or engagement.
In a career reading, the Two of Cups is a symbol you are both on the same wavelength and share a similar vision with your business partner. A business like this – built on trust and mutual respect – is likely to win so long as you proceed to interact with one another and focus on your shared association.
Reversed
Self-love, break-ups, disharmony, distrust
The reversed Two of Cups is about love for yourself. When you love yourself completely, you welcome a life of happiness because you believe you deserve it. When you come from this point of self-love, you will have more fulfilling connections with other people.
Here is the shadow side of the reversed Two of Cups. Before you seek out your Prince Charming or tie the bond with your forever love, make sure you’ve fulfilled your cup with all that love liquid for yourself first. To find satisfaction in your relationships, find the love within you. No other soul, property, or success can do it for you.
The reversed Two of Cups can sometimes indicate a break-up. You are out of harmony with each other and don‘t experience the same loving connection you did in the past. Communication may be limited or delayed, and the energy flow between you extinguished. To change this situation, open up and share, and maintain a safe area for one another to express your feelings.
