The Sun is the most positive oracle in the deck. In the Rider Waite deck the symbolism of the card is easily interpreted as the sun shines over a new baby and aptly named “sun”flowers in the background. The infant, along with the flowers growing, indicates new life and in readings and often represents a new direction. Children being born, questions of prosperity are answered, abundance of wealth, and recovery from illness are all implied by this card. As the infant rides atop the white stallion, he carries a red banner. The deck is famous for using color as symbolism and red often symbolizes power, momentum, and triumph. This card represents the universe coming together and agreeing with your path and aiding forward movement into something greater.

The Three of Pentacles is a very symbolic card representing a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary. Three has always been a magic number of sorts. Like the Holy Trinity, it is often a spiritual representation of forces that are similar yet different coming together and working as a completed whole. If you take one aspect away from the whole then the task at hand will be done poorly and will lack the purpose that was intended.

The Eight of Cups can be a very hard card to have in a reading. From the looks of the card itself, you can get the feeling of loss. A man walks through stagnated water and is leaving the cups behind him. The water around you right now is stagnant like that which the person in the card walks through.

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 you have received the Ace of Swords in your reading, there is a certain level of enhancement of your intellect as well as increasing a perspective of mental clarity present with you at this time.

The Hierophant is the ruling power of external religion. It is representative of the need to be accepted by society, of conforming to the norms presented all around us. Sometimes this card is representative of feeling like an outcast, judged by society and sometimes this is the card that represents one’s own desires to be a part of the religious world. The Hierophant expresses that life is your teacher, providing you with lessons to learn for growth opportunities and the understanding that conflicting issues exist for the purpose of bringing new growth into your life.

The Ace of Pentacles is filled with grounding and solid energy. Around the Ace of any card is the unadulterated source of power of the suit. With the pentacles the energy is that of the earth and grounded energy. Take a moment and see all of the ways in which the flows of the Earthly energies affect you. The times in which you feel grounded and those in which you are almost pulled down and sluggish even have a different relation to the Earth.

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.

The Ten of Pentacles is a card that shows a happiness that is a long time coming. It can be a very difficult card in a reading because often when readings are done people are asking about current situations in love, work, health, or finances. Often it will refer to retirement, planning for the future, or even lasting love. It can show immediate situations turning out well, but usually it focuses on what is in store for the long run.
