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.
Five of Pentacles
Upright
Financial loss, poverty, lack mindset, isolation, worry
The Five of Pentacles card symbolizes loss and poverty. Particularly when it comes to your finances and physical properties, you are hitting tough times. You may have lately lost your work, your house, or your economic security. This is a Minor Arcana card with short effects and it will pass.
In this time of poverty, the Five of Pentacles shows that you feel lonely and discarded. Similarly to the two people on the card, you feel as if you have been abandoned in the cold However, as the light from windows is lit up, help is approaching, but you are too focused on your difficulties to see.
Sometimes, the Five of Pentacles hints that you are undermining your capacity to create wealth because you only concentrate on what you miss and what is going wrong. To change this energy, search for proof of what you do own, and show your thankfulness for those advantages in your life. The good aspects will increase by time and, ‘need’ will be a thing of history.
Furthermore, the Five of Pentacles implies that you worry you don’t possess fairly or you may lose things valuable to you – even if it hasn’t occurred still or is absurd. If you continue thinking about all the negative stuff that might occur, then your manifesting energies may start to produce the results that you don’t like.
Reversed
Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty
The reversed Five of Pentacles shows an end to difficult times, particularly if you have recently experienced a major job or finances problem. You may find new origins of revenue or a new job. Eventually, you can see a way out of your economic problems and your confidence is restored.
The reversed Five of Pentacles can sometimes explain the resolution of emotional poverty. You may feel like something is missing but it is hard to put your finger on what it might be. You may also feel alone, even in a group of people.
If you find your obsession with physical possessions is creating harm to your soul, then it’s time to end. Even if you have little money, you may still have a caring family and a beating heart. Yes, everything sucks right now, but if you hear these scarcity thoughts coming through in your mind, pause for a second and question whether this is the fact or a limiting view. Trust that the Divine is here to help you, particularly when you are pursuing your inner calling and your life mission. When you actually appreciate something, you’ll make it occur.
Knight of Wands
Upright
Energy, passion, inspired action, adventure, impulsiveness
While the Page of Wands indicates the first flash of an idea, the Knight of Wands tells the chase of that idea. You are full of enthusiasm, and you communicate that energy through your action. You have a definite vision about what you want to build and you are now moving ahead with leaps and bounds to turn your fantasy into reality. This card is a clue to go for it!
You are courageous to reach into unfamiliar territories to advance your purpose and your dreams. You don’t mind if risk lies ahead – in fact, if it does, then it grows all the more interesting and exciting for you.
The Knight of Wands gives you the sense you can conquer the world! As you track your goals, your self-confidence boosts, and you understand that your potential is unlimited.
Be careful that the Knight of Wands could also expose himself as an ‘act first, think later’ type of character. You may be impatient, requiring everything to be done yesterday. While you are exploding with energy, you tend to hurry into things with little concern for the results of your activities. If this resonates, find a way to concentrate your energy on the actions that will move you closer to your purpose. Rather than acting on a new idea right away, take a moment to review if it truly adjusts with your goals and whether it needs to take place right now. You may realize that you are better followed by waiting for the suitable time to manifest this idea, particularly if other ‘delay’ cards, such as the Hanged Man, Four of Swords, show up in your reading.
Reversed
Passion project, haste, scattered energy, delays, frustration
The reversed Knight of Wands may arise when you are actively pursuing an enthusiasm plan. A fire has been burned within you, and now you are doing everything to run this project ahead. You have no intention of turning it into a furious success – it is for you to be happy.
The reversed Knight of Wands can indicate that you are feeling a significant boost of energy but are unsure about how to channel it into the world efficiently. You may have a creative uneasiness, knowing that you are designed for something ‘big’, but you are limited from making effort right now. Maybe there are frustrating obstacles, unbeatable barriers standing in your way. Search alternative ways to proceed with your enthusiasm or manifest your idea. You may need to modify your path slightly while being true to your initial idea.
Furthermore, the reversed Knight of Wands implies that you may be acting carelessly, trying to finish everything at once. You are rushing from one task to the other, without concentrating on the parts or securing victory. The reversed Knight of Wands also hints that you could act impulsively, doing something that you may later regret.
