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.
The Sun
Upright
Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality
The Sun symbolizes victory, radiance, and wealth by being the most positive card in the Tarot deck. People are attracted to you because you can always see the bright side and bring warmness to other their lives. This lovely, warm energy is what will get you through the hard times and help you recover. You are also in a place where you can share your most powerful qualities and successes with others. Reflect who you are; illuminate your love on people you care about.
If you are going through a challenging time, the Sun declares you the information you have been waiting for: things will get a lot better from now on!
The Sun combines you to your power center – not egotistical power, but the inner strength is shining through. You can feel it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself freely and be fully in present.
The Sun is also a dynamic card. It reflects a moment when you feel an improvement in physical energy and overall positivity, you are bursting with enthusiasm.
Reversed
Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic
The reversed Sun is calling to your inner child. We get so wasted in the chaos of daily life as adults that we forget how to have fun. But if you watch a child playing, and you will realize how wonderful life can be when you learn to let go of your anxieties. When the Sun reversed appears in your Tarot reading, see it as your confirmation message to leave behind your responsibilities, even just for a while, and set your inner child free.
Anyway, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only momentary. The barriers you see can be cleared if you put your creativity into it.
On the other hand, you may be overly optimistic. While you are overly confident, you may have become out of touch with what you can accomplish. Are you honest with yourself and others? Are you unrealistic? Are you really as great as you believe you are?
