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.
Seven of Pentacles
Upright
Long-term view, sustainable results, perseverance, investment
The Seven of Pentacles hints that you recognize the importance of putting in time and effort now for longer-term goals and have a great desire to spend in sustainable outcomes. You are not seeking fast gains. You also want to be certain you are setting your concentration on the correct areas rather than misusing time and energy.
When this card shows up in a Tarot reading, see it as an encouragement to step back from the daily tasks and look at the big picture. Rejoice what you have built so far. And also check whether you are on the right path.
Furthermore, if you are planning your next steps in life, the Seven of Pentacles urges you to take a careful look and evaluate where you can best spend your resources for the best outcome.
If you have been working carefully or putting the additional energy into something important, the project is close to its finish line. You are destined to see economic or other physical awards for all of your strong work.
However, the Seven of Pentacles can also symbolize disappointment with late results. Be patient and recognize the growth you have made so far.
Reversed
Lack of long-term vision, limited success or reward
The reversed Seven of Pentacles hints your works may be wasted at this time and you are doubting whether you are spending in the right fields. You may invest some fundamental capital on things that will not be profitable. Consider where you are spending your resources and make sure you are happy with your current process and earning a profit from those expenses.
Furthermore, the reversed Seven of Pentacles implies that even though you may proceed to spend a lot of energy into a particular situation, you may not get the pays you are searching for. This card requests you to prioritize your actions correctly.
The reversed Seven of Pentacles can note that you know when to quit spending on something when you see little profit. You are skilled at recognizing when a situation is no longer giving you any power and know when to quit in and seek something else.
In a love reading, the reversed Seven of Pentacles shows you have been trying very carefully for your love relationship and spending so much time and energy, however, now you worry that you will miss all of it. You may also feel disappointed that the connection is not growing as fast as you had expected, particularly when you invest in so much effort. However, sometimes you should open your heart and pour your soul into the love that has no guarantees.
The Star
Upright
Hope, faith, purpose, renewal, spirituality
As the Star is next card after the Tower in the Tarot, it comes as a fresh start after a time of destruction and turbulence. You have endured many challenges and freed yourself from any limiting beliefs that were previously holding you back. No matter what life sends you, you know that you are always united to the loving energy of Divine. You hold a new sense of self, new gratitude for your Essence.
The Star brings refreshed hope and a feeling that you are truly blessed by the Universe. You are entering a peaceful phase in your life with a more deep knowledge of both yourself and the people around you. This is a time of meaningful personal growth and progress as you are now ready to receive the many graces of the Universe.
With the Star card, anything is possible and the magic is moving around you. Allow yourself to dream and to aspire in any way possible so you can touch the stars.
You may also want to rediscover meaning and direction in your life. You are making some important differences in your life, transforming yourself to the new you and, in doing so, you are producing about a fresh viewpoint. This is a great spiritual journey that will renew your inner vitality.
The Star also suggests an overflowing spirit. You want to share your resources with others to help change their lives. You have an open heart, and you now want to share the blessings you gained so that other people may benefit.
Reversed
Lack of faith, despair, self-trust, disconnection
The reversed Star card can suggest that you’ve lost belief and hope. You may be feeling defeated by life’s difficulties right now and asking why you are being put through this. You may be desperately questioning the Universe to give you some release but can’t see how the Divine is on your side. Take a moment to ask yourself what life lesson is in the situation, and how this is beneficial to you but is not a punishment.
Often, the reversed Star is a test of faith. When confronted with a challenging situation, you can either disintegrate like the Tower or stand strong in your faith that the Divine is everywhere. You will also learn how to trust not only in the Universe but also in yourself. Divine flows through you, and when you have confidence in yourself, you allow the Divine to radiate through.
The Star reversed also reveals that you are uninspired with life or parts of your life (for example, work, love, projects, etc.). Perhaps you began with great enthusiasm, but you are now finding yourself overwhelmed by day-to-day routines that are dull. In career readings, this card is particularly suitable when you feel detached from the work you do and question if it’s time to make a change. Try to connect to what is truly meaningful to you again. Adjust your life with this goal, and you will find new sources of inspiration.
The reversed Star urges you to take time for nourishment on a deeply spiritual level. Your energy resources may be exhausted, so rather than forcing yourself further, make time just for you.
