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.
Three of Wands
Upright
Progress, expansion, foresight, overseas opportunities
The Three of Wands reveal that your plans are now initiated and you are examining even more chances to develop your current strategy. Everything is progressing firmly and as expected, thanks to your solid construction and ambition.
The Three of Wands indicates the many opportunities possible for you to expand your horizons through study, travel or business project. You are becoming more aware of the possibilities that exist for you right now. To take benefit of this potential, you must stay dedicated to your route and be adjusted to reach beyond your comfort zone, knowing your best hopes lie outside of your current environment.
The Three of Wands also brings your awareness to the difficulties that lie ahead. You are likely to be already conscious of the expected obstacles and can prepare for them ahead of time like the man in this card can see far away into the distance.
The Three of Wands could also point to travel, especially across the water. It inspires you to be courageous and endeavor to unknown places to explore more and learn many new things along the way. You may also explore worldwide business opportunities.
In a love reading, The Three of Wands hints that your relationship is heading to its next stage. If you’re in a more committed relationship, this can be a great moment to set view of your purposes as a couple and work together to reach those purposes.
Reversed
Playing small, lack of foresight, unexpected delays
The Reversed Three of Wands suggests that growth is possible for you, but you are choosing to play it safe. As a result, you are blocking yourself off from new possibilities by limiting your potential.
The Reversed Three of Wands shows that you have tried to start on your journey of individual development but did not fulfill your goals. Unexpected obstacles or blockages might have risen up on your path. There is a disappointment and you feel that you may have just misused your time by even beginning on this path. However, these setbacks are a necessary part of your life journey.
You may also struggle to put your plans into motion. It’s possible that you did not sufficiently plan for the difficulties on your path, or you were unrealistic about the dangers connected with your plans.
Eight of Cups
Upright
Disappointment, abandonment, withdrawal, escapism
When the Eight of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you may feel forced to walk away from a frustrating situation. It could mean ending a relationship, job or project that was once a cause of pleasure to you but now only causes you sadness. You gave yourself emotionally but, despite your best attempts; it hasn’t turned out the process you had assumed, and you understand that you are no longer getting anything out of this. Now, the only option is to move on, even if it brings you sorrow as you say goodbye.
The Eight of Cups implies you feel that something is missing and instead of waiting around, you know you need to leave that disappointing situation. It may not make sense to other people because on the surface, it looks as if you had all you had wanted – although, you know it’s not serving your Highest Good.
The Eight of Cups can be a hint that you are trying to leave a problematic situation or avoiding some major emotional problems. The Cups in the front symbolizes emotional issues that are present in your life. Yet you are trying to act as if they don’t exist, refusing to solve them.
The Eight of Cups calls you to ask yourself what causes you joy, happiness, and satisfaction on a deep level. Without it, you might track goals that don’t give you the fulfillment you’re endeavoring. So, if you find yourself repeatedly in these Eight of Cups states, spend time examining what will give you real happiness and recreate your aims with your preferences.
Reversed
Trying one more time, indecision, aimless drifting, walking away
The reversed Eight of Cups shows that you may be stuck between walking away from an unpleasant situation or giving it one more chance. But the true question is, ‘Can the situation progress, or is it a lost faith?’ Check-in with your feeling to know whether you should give this circumstance one more opportunity, or if you should let go.
If the reversed Eight of Cups is joined with more inactive cards such as the Hanged Man or the Four of Swords, then it may be a hint that you want to try one more time. Though, if this card combined with a more dynamic card (for example, Eight of Wands or Chariot), it could be time to move on.
The reversed Eight of Cups calls you to listen to your feeling about your next action. Others may have an idea, but it comes down to what’s essential to you. Only you know if this circumstance is serving you and if there is hope.
