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.
Ace of Swords
Upright
Breakthroughs, new ideas, mental clarity, success
The Ace of Swords signals a ripple of new energy from the mental realms. You may be on the edge of an important discovery or a new way of thinking that enables you to view the world with fresh eyes. Or, you may have a sudden understanding of a problem that has been troubling you and you can view the route ahead. Meditate daily to clean away the mind chatter and gain the most of this mental potential.
See this card as a sign of hope. It states your mind is expanding. You are open to welcoming new ideas. You grow on new ideas, motivation, and vision, and you are excited to track new possibilities that draw upon your creative abilities.
When the Ace of Swords shows up in a Tarot reading, it says you that now is a great time to start a new project. As an Ace, you are at the start of the journey, but you can feel the energy rising up and can’t wait to get started. If you direct this energy into the right movements, then you will succeed in your endeavors.
As with all Swords cards, the Ace of Swords expresses power; but the sword is double-edged, meaning that it can build and finish. The message is obvious: with authority comes responsibility. You will need a powerful heart and mind and use your power for the help of others and yourself.
The Ace of Swords also helps you to track the truth of the circumstance and to find equity. You have great transparency on the circumstance and can now defend your point of view.
Reversed
Inner clarity, re-thinking an idea, clouded judgement
The Ace of Swords reversed symbolizes that a new idea is arising from within you, but you are not ready to share it with people. You may still be searching what this idea means for you and how to best manifest it in the outside world. You may also seek more transparency about whether this is a plan you wish to pursue more. When this card shows up in a Tarot reading, it’s essential to give yourself time and space and free your mind.
At times, the reversed Ace of Swords can be a sign you have an idea that’s not coming to success in the form you had expected, and it’s time to go back to the starting point. You may still be tracking an idea that no longer has any sense for you. This card asks you to use more time on describing in common terms what it is you need. Concentrate on the basics and do some better preparation. Be certain about your ambitions and purposes.
The reversed Ace of Swords can also imply blurred judgment and a lack of rational certainty around a particular situation. You are missing important information that will benefit you decide, so spend your time and energy into endeavoring out the facts.
The Sun
Upright
Positivity, fun, warmth, success, vitality
The Sun symbolizes victory, radiance, and wealth by being the most positive card in the Tarot deck. People are attracted to you because you can always see the bright side and bring warmness to other their lives. This lovely, warm energy is what will get you through the hard times and help you recover. You are also in a place where you can share your most powerful qualities and successes with others. Reflect who you are; illuminate your love on people you care about.
If you are going through a challenging time, the Sun declares you the information you have been waiting for: things will get a lot better from now on!
The Sun combines you to your power center – not egotistical power, but the inner strength is shining through. You can feel it in your Solar Plexus chakra, calling you to express yourself freely and be fully in present.
The Sun is also a dynamic card. It reflects a moment when you feel an improvement in physical energy and overall positivity, you are bursting with enthusiasm.
Reversed
Inner child, feeling down, overly optimistic
The reversed Sun is calling to your inner child. We get so wasted in the chaos of daily life as adults that we forget how to have fun. But if you watch a child playing, and you will realize how wonderful life can be when you learn to let go of your anxieties. When the Sun reversed appears in your Tarot reading, see it as your confirmation message to leave behind your responsibilities, even just for a while, and set your inner child free.
Anyway, the Sun is never a negative card, so this is only momentary. The barriers you see can be cleared if you put your creativity into it.
On the other hand, you may be overly optimistic. While you are overly confident, you may have become out of touch with what you can accomplish. Are you honest with yourself and others? Are you unrealistic? Are you really as great as you believe you are?
