The Two of Pentacles can present a bit of a struggle in your life during the past, present, or future depending on the placement of the card.

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.

When the Three of Cups has a central focus in your reading it is a sign that you are being blessed by a season of success and abundance, for which you can achieve much.

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.

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.

The Queen and counterpart for the King of Wands represents for you a time of sensitivity and awareness, of self discovery and passion of spirit as well as the awakening of who you are on a deep, internal level.

You have a magnetic personality that attracts those to you who also have a desire to be connected to nature and have a fiery desire to create an exceptional life.

The Empress is so caring but also hard, she has had to be, she has been through the washing machine of life, the stress cycles and stands there as the person who is adored. This is a woman who sits on that throne because she created the throne and the kingdom around her, she needs no permission.

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 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.
