It can represent friendly rivalry or it can be a deeper conflict that is arising around you right now. When you see the Five of Wands in a reading, be ready for some friction or competition in your life. Often this card will represent a need to be diligent in your actions at this time and make sure to cover your backside. The combative nature of the Five of Wands indicates that there is strife in your physical world as well as your emotions.

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 Suit of Swords, as in all suits, is a story of progression. There are different levels of growth, opportunities for change that are presented to get you through the story from the beginning, middle and then to the end. Whatever the case may be, you are experiencing a really challenging cycle where you feel as though you have been utterly destroyed. This card is symbolic of despair, of lack, a metaphorical death of an aspect of your life.

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 Wheel of Fortune card is one of the most symbolic cards in the deck because it integrates Egyptian, Greek, Hebrew, zodiacal, animalistic, and color symbolism all in one card. This symbolism is true for just about every deck, however the Rider Waite deck differs in it’s inclusion of the YHVH symbols in Hebrew, which is the unpronounceable name of God. It also includes red as a standard power color showing that the universe has the power to grant your wish.

In my view, the Three of Pentacles is a very symbolic card representing a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary. Often this card comes up regarding unions or having to work together with ones that you don’t especially want to be associated with. It can indicate needing to compromise or needing to plan.

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 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.

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.

When you have received the Six of Swords, this is a sign that the difficult cycle that you have been experiencing is now ending. When the Six of Swords appears in your reading about love and relationships, you can expect to find new love in your new environment. You have decided to get rid of everything that makes you unhappy and you no longer perpetuate negativity by holding onto baggage.
