The King of Cups is like the King of Cool. He is a great card in a reading when you are seeking ways to express yourself emotionally or having to accept aspects (or people) in your life that you would rather not.

You have traveled the entire Suit of the Pentacles and have reached the place of pure mastery. He can create money and opportunity out of thin air; he needn’t convince himself or others that he is abundant. The universe knows of his power and bends to his will. The King of Pentacles not only represents all that is abundant, but he controls the very idea of this part of life. He can create money and opportunity out of thin air; he needn’t convince himself or others that he is abundant.

The Emperor is the counterpart of the Empress, but where the Empress is care free in her abundance, the Emperor is almost strict with his own form of stability and can symbolize many different things depending on the context in which he represents himself. If you receive this card during a general reading, then the Emperor is going to provide you with a solid, continual energy to benefit your life. He does not leave a lot of room for excess change or random behavior. The Emperor is pragmatic, regal and stately. His energy is full of action and drive, and there is no room for mistakes.

If you have received the Eight of Wands in your reading, you will find that your affairs will be speeding up now You have important news on the way and there will be a slow but progressive and positive growth in your affairs due to a heightening of your senses connecting both earthly energies and cosmic ones. You are finally about to come to the end of your goals, end of the journey and your hard work will be bringing you great rewards.

The Knight of Wands appears galloping on his horse wielding a wand partially in bloom. When this Knight arrives in your life, be prepared for someone to present new concepts or ideas that will be helpful and inspiring to you. When this card is representing you, you can expect for many changes to be coming your way. He inspires your built in creativity and he asks that you put it into motion.

The Three of Wands in your reading indicates that you have gone the distance and have found your reward. The cards of the Tarot tell a story and where the Two of Wands was indicating a need for planning before the adventure begins, the Three of Wands indicates that you are closer to your destination and that the end is in sight. Often it will represent being at the last leg of a journey in your life or completing something and now being able to move forward to the next aspect.

The Fool is the card of wild abandon and new beginnings. The Fool is often depicted as a young person, with knapsack in hand who is going places. And what will be the final destination? No one knows, but it does not matter.

If you have received the Five of Swords in your reading, then you are experiencing evidence at this time that you are having a hard time communicating your ideas to others. Anything that is not vocally communicated is painstaking and speculative and is an unhealthy waste of your time. This is the card that is known for ‘writing stories’ in your head that don’t really exist in real life. Really what is happening is you are feeling self-conscious, and you have come up with reasons in your mind to believe that others are out to get you.

Following with the story line of the pentacles you will find that there are ups and downs regarding stability, money, and work. The Six of Pentacles is now that realization of charity and good works. It is a representation of either you receiving charity that is much needed to get you to where you need either financially or in regards to a living situation. Base needs are now being met and positive changes are happening.

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.
