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.
Five of Wands
Upright
Conflict, disagreements, competition, tension, diversity
In the Tarot, the number Five describe conflict and struggle. The Five of Wands card shows that you are in the middle of conflict, stress, and opposition with others and it is affecting your energy to move forward with your purposes. Rather than being able to operate towards a goal, you are running up against constant struggle.
With the Five of Wands, everyone is fighting to be heard and no one is listening. When everybody has a different view, but no-one hears each other out, confusions will run uncontrolled. If you are in this situation, see it as a chance to rise up from the chaos. Listen to what other people are saying – even if you accept or not. The key is to harmonize with other people. After that, they may soften their judgments and also give you respect and listen to your viewpoint.
Sometimes, this type of conflict can be very fruitful, such as brainstorming and problem-solving. You may profit from building a committee or expert group with other people who bring alternating perspectives.
You may deal with people from different cultures and try to accept their way of living. Remember that each soul has something unique to bring to the table and that you will help by learning more about them and what they have to contribute.
The Five of Wands encourages an enthusiastic suggestion to change. Transition is coming whether or not you want it; your challenge will be in assuring that everyone is on the same page and dealing with this transformation constructively. However, currently, your group’s energy is scattered by misdirected energy. Everybody has ideas, but no one is there to bring them into a coherent path ahead.
Reversed
Inner conflict, conflict avoidance, tension release
The Five of Wands reversed suggests that you are handling inner conflict. You may try to work through your point of view on controversial topics or you may think about personal problems such as whether to leave or not a relationship or job. This process is helpful and will help you come to a well-thought-out perspective. There is no right answer, and someone will oppose the path you want, so find the option that suits best with you.
The Five of Wands reversed can imply that you have the tendency to withdraw conflict wherever possible. You may see that any tension makes you feel uncomfortable, and you wish it would just go away. So, you use a lot of that energy and neglect the problem. However, some conflict can be helpful, particularly if it is constructive and draws out the underlying problems for a solution.
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.
