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 Cups
Upright
Regret, failure, disappointment, pessimism
Being one of the most pessimist cards in deck, The Five of Cups card often shows up in a Tarot reading when the events haven’t turned out the way you assumed, and you are sad and depressed. Instead of moving on, you are choosing to be lost in your self-pity. All you can focus on right now is what went crazy and how you failed.
The Five of Cups hints you’re lost in the past. Your wounds and painful memories overwhelm your mind as you think about what occurred. You may criticize yourself or think you’re a victim of life’s events. These negative thoughts are holding you back from your complete potential – clear them so you can move on.
If someone has failed you, find it within your heart to forgive that person, freeing yourself from the frustration. And if you are disappointed with yourself, know that you did the best you could under the conditions and have now received life experience from your errors.
Think about what took you to this point and realize what important teachings you can take from the practice. Even when things go wrong, you can always find something positive by thinking about the experiences you got.
The Five of Cups card represents that new possibilities are in your way, even though things aren’t going according to your plan right now. It’s time to change your mindset and concentrate on where else you can go from this point. Be open to the deeper side of life and know many graces are in disguise.
Reversed
Personal setbacks, self-forgiveness, moving on
The reversed Five of Cups implies that you have recently experienced a personal disappointment. You may think that you are a ‘loser’ and don’t want to let others know you’ve taken the wrong path. Or you may not be ready to communicate it to others and are keeping your emotions to yourself instead. But, now could be time to admit and share. People around you may not understand how much agony you’re in right now, so don’t be scared to talk with people you trust.
If you feel guilty about what occurred, criticizing yourself for the errors you made, the reversed Five of Cups asks you to forgive yourself.
When this card shows up in a reading, you are realizing the meanings of the past, and you recognize the things learned from the adventure. You may even realize the value of the unpleasant event in the wider view of everything.
The reversed Five of Cups helps as a note that you cannot undo the yesterday. It is now time to release what no longer serves you, and open to the new possibilities available to you. If you have experienced difficulties, you will find that you will be more confident about tomorrow and join the exciting side of life again.
The Magician
UPRIGHT
Manifestation, resources, inspired action
Magician is a master of manifestation and he will help your dreams come true with his resources and tools. If you want to start new job, new relationship or any new idea to change your life you have enough energy which contains spiritual, physical emotional and mental resources. Focus to your goal and don’t distract by any other thing. Bring your energy and love to your actions, because you are creative and capable of creating the future you want most.
Start to plan your progress and if it is right for you, you will see everything falling into their places as a puzzle.
The Magician is considered a lucky card, however, it can also be a sign that people which involved to your plans could be tricky and warns you about being more careful.
REVERSED
Manipulation, poor planning, untapped talents
Reversed Magician shows that you are uncertain about how to manifest your wishes and not taking the action yet. You are not sure if you have anything to take a step forward or you may be unsure how to make it happen. You have to stay tuned with your goal and follow the arising opportunities. Or perhaps you are not clear about your approach and your end goal is out of alignment with your Highest Good and the Universe is sending you a “Stop!” sign.
Magician at reversed is not a true magic master anymore, it turns to illusionist. His magic is deception and trickery. You may be amazed from his show, but he could have a intention of selfish gain. You may be ask yourself whether you perform your acts for Highest good or just for your own benefit.
Getting this card in relationship reading might mean there is someone pretends to have your best interest, however the opposite is true.
