The Eight of Pentacles gives you a taste of success but reminds you that you can’t have what you want overnight. There is a goal in sight for you right now and you are on the right path – learning new tricks, creating healthy environments around you, and otherwise doing what you can to succeed. The Eight of Pentacles is a reminder not to give up and to continue on the path that you are on now.

The Moon is a very emotional and intuitive card. It calls to light your deepest and darkest desires. When the Moon is present it is a time to be aware of how your physical health is being affected by your mental health. It can also represent being very aware to almost a hyper vigilant state, being over sensitive, and madness. Remember that fits of madness also often lend themselves to time of genius inspiration and if you are feeling exceptionally out of sorts that all of your pent up energy can be used for the greater good of your life.

When the Four of Swords appears in your reading your ability to negotiate circumstances that are not to your liking is magnified tenfold. You are a flexible person; you wish to have a commitment in you life that stays in balance, which is not fluid. A knight lies in effigy upon his tomb. His hands are folded together in a prayer. This is symbolic of a time of peace after war, the necessity to contemplate one’s future moves.

Oh no, it’s the Devil card! Don’t worry, it’s not all brimstone and evil… generally the Devil represents very human aspects, rather than supernatural ones. The Devil card is the perversion of everything good, spiritual, and whole. It shows that there are unhealthy aspects in your life that you are likely ignoring. The Devil card is the perversion of everything good, spiritual, and whole. It shows that there are unhealthy aspects in your life that you are likely ignoring. In this card you will find the same two people from the Lovers card now chained to the pedestal on top of which the devil sits.

There is a duality in the Two of Wands that refers to doing a job well and then seeing the benefits. The figure on the Two of Wands card is looking out over a great distance and often is thought of as Christopher Columbus type individual. They are ready before he set sail on the voyage. Often this card comes up when you are feeling distracted. You know that you have tasks at hand and you are not ready to complete them.

If you have received the Four of Cups in your reading then you are likely either experiencing a time of weariness or frustration in material affairs or you are about to experience a transit of this. The Four of Cups recognizes that there is a lack of perspective happening in your life. The young man, depicted on the card, is sitting under a tree contemplating his material possessions in life.

The Judgement card in a reading can be a very difficult one to be read. This is because it has multiple meanings. On one hand Judgement can come in the form of your own personal judgment and in that case the card is telling you to be careful how you proceed. It can also be a representation of harsh judgments being made upon you or by you. It is a reminder that we all end up in the same place in the end and how we get there should be guided by integrity or virtue.

Seeing the Lovers in your reading is a favorable sign. The card being present represents the hand of the divine reaching down and blessing you in your life at this time. Now is a time of fruitful change and one in which you are encouraged to act. Changes that come up in your life at this time are usually for the better and bring with them good fortune, harmony, and a time of peace in your life. The two figures on the card offer themselves naked to the higher being in the sky often referred to as God. Thy symbolism of growth and sexuality in the card leads the viewer to understand that the love that the card is depicting is not first love or the beginning stages of love.

The Five of Pentacles can be a very worrisome card when appearing in a reading as it shows that there is a loss, usually in financial matters. Being prepared for this can often stave off a bad situation and therefore it is a good idea to set your focus on the monetary and stabilizing forces in your life.

When the King of Wands has visited your reading, you are being reminded to not limit yourself. It is important to be adaptable and versatile. Now is the time to act spontaneously, give yourself time to be like the Chameleon and change your colors to match your environment. Do not change yourself so much that you lose the connection to your inner self, but allow yourself some change so that you can learn that strength is being flexible and mutable.
