The Nine of Pentacles is a card of sacrifice and discipline as a means to getting what you want. When this card is revealing in your reading you are in good hands. The Nine of Pentacles shows that unlike others, you have learned from your own mistakes and you are working on moving forward in your life. Right now is an excellent time to be making plans to complete goals, rather than to be starting on something new. Take the time now to reap what you have sown and to watch the positive materialize.

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.

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.

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.

When the Five of Cups appears in your reading, you are going through a transit of emotional disappointment. The lesson from the Four of Cups is extended to this card, but it also includes an extra layer of regret and loss over a pleasure that you thought you would get a chance to experience.

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. Either way it is usually an indication that you need to give specific focus to the more materialistic aspects of your life or that you are juggling too much and on the brink of failure.

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.

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.

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 Six of Cups is a pleasant little card that can indicate that there are a lot of positive energies surrounding you at this time… so long as they are balanced. Right now your main focus needs to be on the simple approaches and avoid making anything too complicated or overly ornate so that you don’t miss your goal or deadline. This card represents nostalgia and ideal times of your life.
