Hello, welcome to the Moonscarab channel, my name is Ramon.

On this video we will explore the meaning of all 78 cards from the tarot.

The purpose of this video is to make it easier to you by providing on a single

video the essentials of what you need to understand to get started with reading the
cards.

You will see an explanation of what is depicted on each card.

This is important because each tarot card is full of many details which are part of
each message.

I will also provide you with a group of meaningful keywords to the upright and
reverse position on each card.

You will see a Zodiac Correspondence, Element and Numerology value.

Once you understand the system, it's real easy.

We all have the potential and skill to tap into the divine realm.

It's just a matter of learning, applying what you learn and believing with all your
heart in what you do.

Let's get started.

Card 0, The Fool.

The Fool is card number 0.

It's usually considered the first card of the tarot, but it's not part of the
numerical sequence of the 22 Major Arcana.

The Fool doesn't have a specific place in the order of the tarot cards.

It can be placed either at the beginning of the Major Arcana or at the end.

The Major Arcana is often considered the Fool's journey through the different
aspects of life.

Portrayed on the rest of the 21 Major Arcana cards, 0 is the number of unlimited
potential.

On this card, a young man walks into the world.

He looks joyful, excited and intoxicated with his sense of freedom.

He's ready to jump into the world, but he's standing on the edge of a cliff as he
sets out on his adventure.

He is looking upwards the sky and apparently unaware that he's about to skip off a
cliff.

He has over his shoulder a small sack with everything he needs.

He's holding a white rose on his left hand, symbolizing his purity and innocence.

And at his feet is a small white dog, symbolizing loyalty and protection that seems
to either warn him of the danger ahead or encouraging him to go forward.

We can see mountains behind symbolizing challenges to come, but The Fool doesn't
care about them right now.

He's focused on starting his new journey.

He doesn't see the dangers and risks ahead.

And honestly, he doesn't even care.

He wants to walk into the full potential of all possibilities ahead.

The Fool is a card representing new beginnings, opportunities, great potential and
taking a leap of faith.

This is Uranus energy.

In astrology, Uranus is an eccentric planet known for dynamic changes, rebellion

and innovation.

This card is all about taking a leap of faith into the unknown.

It's an innocent, naive, fresh blank slate.

It's a fresh energy.

To see The Fool generally means the start of a new journey.

One where you might have no idea where it's heading to, but a step with faith in
the process.

This card is urging you to follow your dreams, to take that leap of faith no matter
how foolish it seems.

It means that it's time to trust where the universe is taking you and just do it.

Now in reverse, when The Fool card appears in reverse in a tarot reading, it
symbolizes a bad decision, indecision, apathy, hesitation and a faulty choice.

It can be also a new beginning, but one that you're not really thrilled about.

Major Arcana 1, The Magician.

Card number one is called The Magician.

One represents beginnings and the starting point of creation.

This card is all about manifestations.

The main figure is depicted with one hand pointed towards the sky, the universe,
and the other hand points to the ground, down to earth.

Like saying, as above, so below.

It shows that he's connected to both the spiritual and physical worlds.

On the table in front of him, there are four symbols of the tarot suits, a cup, a
pentacle, a sword and a wand, each symbolizing four elements, water, earth, air and
fire.

This is also a sign that he has all the tools he needs to manifest his intentions.

Above his head is the infinity symbol and around his waist, a snake biting its own
tail.

Both signs of a limited potential.

And in the foreground, we see foliage and flowers, symbols of the blossoming of his
ideas and aspirations.

When you get The Magician in your reading, it's saying that it's time to tap into
your full potential.

The Magician is a sign that you have all the skills and abilities you need to be
successful.

It's a sign about bringing into action the things that you want because you have
the tools and potential to do so.

This is Mercury Energy, which is about rationalizing, quick thinking,

possibilities, and the ability to reason things.

In reverse, The Magician can suggest something or someone who's a trickster, that
you're under the illusion of something not real, something deceitful.

MAJOR ARCANA CARD 2, THE HIGH PRIESTESS Card 2 is the High Priestess.

She's the guardian of the subconscious mind and your intuition.

On this card, the High Priestess sits in front of a thin veil decorated with
pomegranates.

The veil symbolizes the separate conscious and subconscious worlds, the seen and
the unseen.

The pomegranates are a symbol of abundance and fertility.

On either side of the High Priestess stands two pillars, Yaxin and Boas.

On the right, generally referred to as the Pillar of Establishment, and on the left
is the Pillar of Strength.

The pillars also depict the duality of nature, good and evil, negative and
positive, darkness and light.

The High Priestess wears a blue robe with a cross on her chest and crown, both a
symbol of divine knowledge.

In her lap, she holds a scroll partially covered, signifying that this sacred
knowledge is both explicit and implicit.

The crescent moon at her feet symbolizes her connection with the divine feminine,
her intuition and subconscious mind, and the natural cycles of the moon.

The moon symbolizes secrets and things hidden.

When the High Priestess appears in a tarot reading, it indicates that you should
trust your instincts and go with your gut feeling, your intuition.

Pay attention to your dreams, to the signs and symbols the universe is sending you
when this card appears in your reading.

The answers you are seeking will come from within, from the deepest truth and
knowing.

You just know the answer.

Listen to your inner voice.

This is moon energy, which is linked to the divine feminine and our emotional side.

The central message of this card is, listen to your inner voice.

In the reverse position, this card shows that you are not hearing your inner voice.

You may be more focused on external factors or other opinions rather than your
inner wisdom.

It can also indicate that you are neglecting your own spiritual needs.

You need to take time to connect with yourself, and trust yourself, to channel your
inner voice.

You have access to the wisdom and knowledge you need.

Major Arcana 3, The Empress.

The Empress card shows a beautiful woman sitting on a throne with an air of peace
and tranquility around her.

On her head, she is wearing a crown with 12 stars.

These stars indicate her divine status and the cycles of the natural world.

12 months, 12 signs of the zodiac, etc.

She has a pomegranate patterned robe representing fertility, and she is sitting on
cushions embroidered with a Venus sign, symbolic for love, harmony, creativity,
beauty, and grace.

There is beautiful and abundant nature surrounding her, showing the connection of
the Empress with Mother Earth and life itself.

The golden wheat springs depicted in the foreground reflect abundance.

The Empress card represents abundance and unconditional love.

This is a beautiful, strong, feminine energy card that invites you to nurture.

Depending on what you seek, it can be nurturing yourself, people around you, plans,
or ideas.

It's a strong indicator of prosperity and abundance.

She is beauty, abundance, and nature all around us, but also within us, the source
of life-giving power.
The Empress is most associated with the goddess Venus, and it's linked with
fertility and Mother Nature.

She is a comforting presence in any reading and can symbolize a time when you will
receive an abundance which promises to nurture you.

This could be love or material things.

The Empress is also a strong indication of pregnancy or birth as well.

Depending on the cards she's paired with, it can be an actual pregnancy or

childbirth, but also a metaphorical birth of a new idea, business, or a project.

The Empress assures you that if you nurture and support those new ideas with
compassion and love, they will manifest successfully.

Major Arcana card 4, The Emperor.

The Emperor card represents the father figure of the entire tarot deck, and it's
card number four in the Major Arcana.

In this card, we see the Emperor as a ruler in his throne, adorned with the heads
of four rams, representing his energy, the astrological sign of Aries.

In one hand, he carries a scepter, and in the other, an orb, symbolizing the
universe over which he reigns.

Behind him, mountains, representing his determination, his ambition for greater
heights, and his leadership capability.

The Emperor rules with stern strength and force.

The Emperor card represents rules and regulations.

It's all about control, authority, regulation, and logic.

The Emperor calls on you to be disciplined, efficient, and persistent when it comes
to getting what you want.

The Emperor is a solid, stable character.

He's a grounded protector, but he also can be rigid and stubborn.

The Emperor card represents the dominance of logic over emotion, and of the mind
over the heart.

This card reminds you that concentration, structure, stability, and focus are
required if you want to make your vision a reality.

Major Arcana card number five, The Hierophant.

The Hierophant tarot card serves as the masculine counterpart of the High
Priestess.

It's card five of the Major Arcana, and its energy is governed by Taurus.

The Hierophant can be a little confusing for those just starting out in tarot,
because the word Hierophant is not something we use in the modern language.
Hierophant is an old word, also meaning Pope, Cardinal, Bishop, or any other
religious leader.

The Hierophant card portrays a religious figure sitting between two pillars.

In his left hand, he holds a papal cross, representing his religious status.

He raises his right hand in a religious blessing, with two fingers pointing towards
heaven, and two towards earth.

The Hierophant is a symbol of traditional values, and deep importance of

spirituality and traditions in life.

The Hierophant is closely tied to religious institutions and their influence on

your life.

People have different feelings towards the appearance of the Hierophant.

Despite his depiction, this card doesn't exclusively apply to Christianity.

It also represents any religious denomination, cultural, or long-standing

institution influencing your life.

If the Hierophant shows up in your reading, examine how these institutions are
influencing your situation, either for good or bad.

When it comes to problem solving, this card can be asking you to take a more
traditional approach.

Major Arcana card six, The Lovers.

The Lovers card is card number six of the Major Arcana, and mainly represents love,
relationships, and major decisions regarding soulmate situations.

The Lovers card shows a man and a woman, standing in a beautiful, fertile
landscape.

Behind the woman stands a tall fruit tree, with a snake winding its way up the
trunk.

The couple is beneath an angel above.

Behind the man is a tree of twelve flames.

The serpent and the fruit tree represent the temptation of pleasures that may take
your focus away from the divine.

The tree of flames represents passion.

The man looks to the woman, who watches the angel, showing the path from physical
desire to emotional needs to spiritual concerns.

The volcanic mountain represents the eruption of passion.

Ruled by Gemini in its purest form, the Lovers card represents conscious
connections, meaningful relationships and choice, and typically about romantic
relationships.
In a tarot reading, it shows that you have a beautiful soul connection with a loved
one and the energy between you both is meaningful.

It can also represent a close friendship or family relationship where there is

abundant love and respect.

The Lovers is a card of open communication and raw honesty.

It's Gemini energy.

Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, the planet of communication.

The couple is naked, so they are willing to be in their most vulnerable and learn
to share their truest feelings.

In essence, the Lovers is about balance and duality.

Using Gemini energy, it encourages you to unify two parts that are in opposition to
one another and creates something that is whole, unified and harmonious.

In every choice, there is advantages and disadvantages, opportunity and challenge,

positive and negative.

When you accept these dualities, you build the unity from which love and balance
flows.

Major Arcana 7, The Chariot.

The Chariot is linked to the Cancer Zodiac sign.

This card shows a warrior standing inside a chariot.

Although he appears to be driving the chariot, he holds no reins, symbolizing

control through the strength of his will and mind.

Above his head is a canopy of six pointed stars, suggesting his connection to the
celestial world and the divine.

In front of the vehicle sits a black and white sphinx, representing duality,
positive and negative and opposing forces.

The sphinxes seem to be pulling in opposite directions, but he uses his willpower
to steer the chariot forward in the direction he wants.

Behind the chariot flows a wide river, symbolic of the need to leave behind the
unstable flow of emotions and charging ahead towards your goals and intentions.

The chariot is a card of encouragement to use your willpower, of direction, of

things moving forward with determination and strength.

It's all about overcoming challenges and gaining victory through maintaining
control of your surroundings.

When the chariot appears in a tarot reading, take it as a sign of encouragement by

defining your objectives and channeling your inner power with dedication to make
them happen.

In a very literal sense, the chariot can also represent a sign of future travel
plans, sometimes even driving or taking a road trip.
Major Arcana 8, Strength In tarot card 8, Strength, a woman gently strokes a lion
on his forehead and jaw.

She stares at the lion with a smile on her face as she has tamed the beast with her
calming, loving energy.

The woman wears a white robe showing her purity of spirit and a belt and crown of
flowers that represents nature.

Over her head is the symbol of infinity, just like in the card of the magician,
representing infinite potential and wisdom.

This card is Leo energy, a sign of fire.

The lion is a symbol of raw passions and desires, and in taming him, the woman
shows that her animal instincts and raw passions can be expressed in positive ways
when inner strength and resilience are applied.

She doesn't use physical force, but uses her inner strength to subdue the lion.

The Strength card represents strength, determination, and power.

As the chariot channels our outer strength and will, the Strength card channels our
inner force to overcome and endure obstacles.

When the Strength card appears in a reading, you are fueled by your inner strength,
personal power, strong will, and determination.

You do not rule by trying to control others.

You influence and persuade.

You can control situations without excessive outward force.

Be aware of your needs and tame them into balance with the greater good.

Nothing good comes out of acting in blind rage or hatred.

Handle your situations from a place of inner power, wisdom, and compassion.

Major Arcana card 9.

The Hermit.

In this card 9, the Hermit depicts an old man standing alone at the peak of a snow-
covered mountain.

He's holding a lantern, with a six-pointed star inside in one hand, and on the
other a staff.

The lamp lights his way, but only his next few steps rather than the full journey.

He must step forward to see where he goes next, knowing that not everything will be
revealed at once.

In his left hand, the side of the subconscious mind holds the long staff, which he
uses to guide and balance him.
The Hermit is a seeker of his inner voice and self-reflection through moments of
solitude.

This card is about introspection.

The Hermit card generally suggests the need for a period of soul-searching, self-
reflection, and the need for spiritual enlightenment.

It's suggesting you to take a break from everyday life to draw your energy and
attention inwards and find the answers you seek deep within your soul.

The Hermit can also indicate isolating yourself or withdrawing to recover from a
difficult situation.

Sometimes to hear your inner voice, you must disconnect and walk through the dark
night of your life journey only with yourself.

The Hermit often appears when you are at a crossroads in your life and
contemplating a new direction.

Through meditation and self-examination, you can begin to re-evaluate your personal
goals and change your path.

You will look at your life with a deeper, more spiritual understanding, and a few
of your priorities will change as a result.

The Wheel of Fortune The Wheel of Fortune card shows a wheel covered in symbols,
with three figures on the outer edges.

Four Hebrew letters are inscribed on the wheel's face.

There are also the letters T-O-R-A on the wheel, thought to be a version of the
word Torah, meaning law, or Tarot, or even Rota, R-O-T-A, Latin for wheel.

No one knows for sure.

The middle wheel has the alchemical symbols for Mercury, Sulfur, Water, and Salt,
the building blocks of life.

On the outer circle is a snake, the god Typhon, descending on the left side.

On the right side rises Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, who welcomes souls to
the underworld.

And on top of the wheel sits the Sphinx, representing knowledge and strength.

In the corners of the Wheel of Fortune card are four winged creatures, each
associated with the four fixed signs of the Zodiac.

The angel is Aquarius, the eagle is Scorpio, the lion is Leo, and the bull is
Taurus.

Each holds the Torah, representing wisdom.

The Wheel of Fortune is essentially the Wheel of Life, which is in a state of

constant change.

No matter what happens, the wheel will keep turning, and keep throwing lessons our
way.
We can't truly know what's coming next.

We need to let go of the wheel and allow the universe to take us where we need to
be.

Jupiter, the planet that corresponds to the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card, is a
planet of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, and good fortune.

The Wheel of Fortune is also known as the Wheel of Karma and reminds you that what
goes around comes around.

Factors outside your control are influencing your situation.

This card can show a critical turning point in your life.

You can't control the powers of the universe, but you can definitely grow your
understanding of your role in this life and the universe.

Remember that there is nothing to fear.

Everything will work out according to divine intervention and timing.

Justice is typically the 11th card of the Major Arcana, although it can be card 8th
in other tarot decks.

The Justice Tarot card depicts a figure sitting between two pillars, just like what
we see in the Hierophant and the High Priestess Tarot cards.

The two pillars symbolize her authority, balance, and power.

Between the two pillars, a boundary has been created with a cloth veil.

The figure's crown represents her power and authority in decision making.

The sword she carries indicates her ability to take firm action and final
decisions.

The scales represent her balance and first decisions.

A little white shoe pops out from beneath her clothing as a reminder of the
spiritual consequences of your actions.

The Justice card is about fairness, doing and giving what's right, cause and
effect, as well as balanced thought and action.

Furthermore, this is a card about karma and justice being served.

The right or wrong mate will be reciprocated.

What goes around, comes around.

Sometimes, the Justice card indicates a complex or difficult decision that needs to
be made.

Justice represents clear, logical decisions.

This card can also suggest having to deal with legal matters itself.
And at the end, it's all about clarity, truth, balance, and fairness.

The Hangman shows a man suspended upside down from a tree.

Despite the uncomfortable position, the Hangman appears to be relaxed, viewing the
world from a completely different perspective.

His facial expression is calm and serene, so it seems that he's in this position by
his own choice.

He has a halo around his head, symbolizing enlightenment.

His right foot is bound to the tree, but his left foot remains free, bent at the
knee and tucked behind his right leg.

His arms are bent, with hands behind his back.

The Hangman can represent a period of total stillness and contemplation.

This card is a very spiritual card.

It's acknowledging a new spiritual awakening.

This card can also suggest an apparent state of limbo on a situation.

More will be revealed, but for now, this card suggests a period of contemplation
and endurance.

Often, this card will show up during a time where you must wait before answers
reveal themselves.

Sometimes, it's an uncomfortable position to be in, but the Hangman's relaxed

manner, in the face of being turned upside down, is a challenge to find a way to
cope with the pressure.

process.

The hangman is deeply connected to insights and new perspectives.

It can be a call for an alternate approach to a problem.

The bright aura of enlightenment around the figure's head suggests that this
temporary uncomfortable perspective is worthwhile to receive the truth that will be
revealed.

Your enlightened awareness can give you a new perspective on the matter.

Similarly, this card can represent a state of being between two worlds.

This is Neptune energy.

In astrology, Neptune is the psychic planet of ideas, intuition, spirituality, and

compassion.

It's the domain of dreams and delusions.

Just because it feels difficult, it doesn't mean that there's something wrong.

Major Arcana card 13, Death.

On this card, an armored skeleton rides a white horse.

It's the personification of death.

It appears before a crowd holding a white flag with a rose.

In the foreground, a king has fallen underfoot with his crown knocked over.

A bishop prays for mercy.

Another figure in the chaotic scene turns away from death, having possibly fainted.

A small child looks directly at the rider.

Beyond the dramatic scene, on the background, there's a ship sailing peacefully in
the river behind the chaos.

Life moves on as usual.

The sun rises beyond the outer bounds of the city.

This day will end and another one will begin.

The sun beyond the city pillars suggests a transition into a new passage of life.

The Death card is probably the most feared and misunderstood of the cards in the
tarot deck.

It's a card about endings, passages, transformation, initiation, and changes.

It can actually be one of the most positive cards in the deck.

After a period of pause and reflection with a hangman, the Death card symbolizes
the end of a major phase in your life that's no longer serving you.

You must close one door to open another.

It shows a time of significant transformation, change, and transition.

You need to transform and clear away the old to bring in the new.

Any change should be welcomed as a positive, cleansing, transformational force in

your life.

Also, in a literal sense, death can also mean death, but the essence of the card
has elements of a sudden and unexpected change.

As a symbol of beauty, purity, and immortality, the black flag in the Death card is
adorned with a five-petal white rose.

Number five in this context indicates change and transformation.

The combination of these symbols reveals that death is more than just the end of a
person's life.

Death is always followed by new beginnings, fresh starts, rebirth, and

transformations.
This is a very positive card, so don't be scared about it.

Major Arcana 14, Temperance.

The Temperance card shows a large angel with wings outstretched who pours water
from one cup into another.

The figure stands with one foot on the ground and the other foot dips into the
water, representing the need to stay grounded and the need to be in flow.

In the background, there is a winding path up to a mountain range, reflecting the

journey through life.

Above the mountains hovers a golden crown encased in a glowing light, a symbol of
taking the higher path and staying true to one's life purpose and meaning.

Temperance is the card of bringing balance, patience, and moderation into your
life.

You are being invited to stabilize your energy and allow life to flow through you
without force or resistance.

It's time to recover your flow and get your life back into order and balance.

This is Sagittarius energy.

Sagittarius energy manifests through enlightenment and truth seeking.

There is alchemy with Temperance.

This card is about blending, mixing, and combining diverse elements in a way that
creates something new.

There is an important lesson to be learned from the Temperance card.

Things will always be in and out of balance.

The process of balancing yourself is something you should always cultivate.

This is an Angel card as well.

Higher forces of guardians are helping you to keep things in balance.

Finally, this card can also represent a time of calm and harmony.

Major Arcana 15, The Devil.

The Devil card is the 15th card of the Tarot's Major Arcana.

It represents the material world, control, subjugation, and temptation.

A horned figure crouches on a stone pillar.

His appearance can be linked to the devil, a satyr, the Greek god Pan, or the
occult representation of Baphomet.

He has a white inverted pentagram between his horns.

The devil holds up his right hand as if to stop the viewer while his left hand
holds a torch downwards.

Below the figure are a man and a woman, both naked and chained to the podium on
which the devil sits.

They appear to be held against their will, but if you look closer, you will notice
that the chains around their necks are loose and could be easily removed.

Each has small horns on their head, like the devil's.

These figures are a mirror to the lover's card imagery.

The woman's tail is a cluster of grapes, which suggests the forbidding fruit of the
garden of Eden, temptation, and alcohol.

The man's tail is a burning flame, lit by the devil's torch, suggesting
uncontrolled passion or anger.

The darkness that surrounds these figures suggests that this scene is playing out
in a dark, hidden place.

This is a very toxic energy.

Along with controlling, it can represent feeling trapped, but trapped willingly,
because they can easily break away from the chain.

The devil card represents a negative force that constrains you and holds you back
from being the best version of yourself.

Just as the lover's card speaks to duality and choice, so too does the devil.

It often appears when you have been tricked into the false illusion that you have
no control over those negative forces and that you can never break free from them.

Unhealthy attachments can turn into an unhealthy dependence on people or things if

you lose the connection with your inner guidance or don't protect your emotional
boundaries.

The message of this card is, you can break free from any negative and toxic energy
surrounding you.

Major Arcana 16 The Tower The tower represents a sudden change that shakes your
foundations.

On a dark night, lightning strikes on a stone tower on top of a rocky mountain,

sending two people into a free fall, head first and arms outstretched.

The building begins to be consumed by flames.

The tower represents change in the most radical and momentous sense.

It is for this reason that the card itself visually looks so unnerving.

At the heart of this card, its message is foundational, groundbreaking change.

When the tower card is upright in a tarot reading, it represents a sudden, massive
change.

You will have to abandon the past, maybe go through a period of upheaval, but you
can take advantage of the catastrophe to build something better where your old
tower stood.

The kind of event that the tower card marks does not have to be something terrible,
like a disaster or a great loss.

Change itself is a normal part of life that one has to embrace, but it can
sometimes strike fear because it means that we must abandon the truths that we have
known prior to this event.

This is Mars energy.

Mars is the planet of our desires, actions, energy, passion, war, aggression and
assertion.

The central idea is, expect the unexpected, because massive change is shifting your
way.

The Star Tarot Card comes to us in times to remind us of who we are and to have
faith.

It is perhaps the most comforting and encouraging card in the entire tarot deck.

A naked woman kneels by the water.

One foot is in the water, and the other foot is on the land.

Above her head is one large star, and seven smaller stars surrounding it.

In each hand she holds a jug.

From one jug she pours liquid into the water, and from the other jug she pours
liquid onto the land.

The star embodies positivity, hope change, exciting opportunities in the future,
and renewed faith.

In this way, the Star Tarot Card brings about a sense of serenity and tranquility.

You are entering a peaceful, loving face in your life, filled with calm energy,
mental stability, and a more in-depth understanding of both yourself and others
around you.

The star brings renewed hope and faith, and a sense that you are truly blessed by
the universe.

This is Aquarius energy, which is connecting and inviting.

The ultimate message of the star is to have faith, steady the course, and keep
hope.

Major Arcana 18, The Moon.

This card depicts a night scene.

A long robe with the moon shining on it.

Two large pillows are shown.

A wolf and a domesticated dog howl at the moon, while a crayfish emerges from the
water.

The moon is a card of illusion and deception, and therefore often suggests a time
when something is not as it appears to be, perhaps a misunderstanding on your part,
or a truth that can't reveal itself.

These creatures personify our animalistic nature.

The dog represents our domestic, docile side, and the wolf shows our wild side.

Arising from the water, we see a crawfish crawling up the path, symbolizing us
humans who are about to set out on a long way towards an uncertain destination.

The moon shines its light down to guide down the path.

The towers signify positive and negative forces and our struggle to distinguish
between good and evil.

The moon also represents secrets and illusions.

There might be a hidden truth in your life, and you need to uncover it.

The moon cautions you from accepting what seems to be.

It may be a time to dig a little deeper and allow the light to shine upon the false
notions in your life.

The moon is a warning in a sense.

You are the crawfish rising from the sea.

If you trust your intuition and push forward, you will receive deliverance from
what blinds you.

Major Arcana 19, The Sun A happy child stretches his arms.

He is sitting atop a white horse, and behind the child is a garden wall and a field
of sunflowers.

The child's head is also adorned with a sunflower crown.

Sunflowers traditionally symbolize happiness and hope.

The sun itself shines above the scene.

The sun is a symbol of illumination, happiness, hope, and positivity.

The child represents the joy of being connected with your inner spirit, and his
nakedness is a sign he has nothing to hide and has all the innocence and purity of
childhood.

The white horse is also a sign of purity and strength.

The sun is one of the most positive cards in the tarot.

If you are looking for a clear yes, this is it.

The sun card, it represents happiness and joy.

It's about success, good luck, and things going your way.

The sun is a life force that beams down and blesses all it touches with warmth.

It encourages growth and brings things to life.

There is so much positive energy in this card, it's beaming with it.

This is also a good indicator card for mental and physical health.

It's a card of vigor, vitality, and feeling younger again.

It represents recovery from setbacks.

This is a beautiful card to appear in readings.

The sun is also an energetic card.

It reflects a time when you can expect to experience an increase in physical

energy, vitality, and general positivity.

You're bursting with enthusiasm, invigorated, and enjoying a wonderful sense of

good health.

Spiritually, the sun represents enlightenment.

Major Arcana 20, Judgment.

The Judgment card shows the dead rising from their graves with arms outspread and
looking up into the sky.

Above, an angel blows his trumpet.

The people respond to his call, ready to be judged.

In the background is an extensive mountain range.

The Judgment card is a powerful card of spiritual transformation.

Like the Justice card, it's a card about karma.

It's relief from a difficult journey.

When the Judgment card shows up in a reading, it can signal a spiritual awakening
or a time of profound insight.

This is Pluto energy, named after the Roman god of the underworld, also known as
Hades in Greek mythology.

Pluto is a planet of intensity, destruction, transformation, and rebirth.

Plutonian energy is very dramatic, with painful experiences, in order to shed light
on truth and bring us incredibly profound growth.

Pluto can provide tremendous opportunities for renewal, new beginnings, and
spiritual growth.

An upright Judgment card in a reading often suggests introspection and self-

assessment of your past and current behavior to make a life-changing decision.

This card indicates that your past is done and over with, and now is the time to
make use of what you learned from your mistakes.

You have reviewed and evaluated your past experiences and have learned from them.

Major Arcana 21, The World The world is card 21, and the final of the Major Arcana.

It's a symbol of fulfillment.

A naked woman hovers or dances above, holding a staff in each hand, surrounded by a
wrath being watched by four living creatures, a man, a lion, the bull, and an
eagle.

According to astrological tradition, the lion is Leo, a fire sign, the bull is
Taurus, an earth sign, the man is Aquarius, an air sign, and the eagle is Scorpio,
a water sign.

These signs are the four fixed signs and represent the classical four elements.

This card represents Achievement, Fulfillment, and Completion, and now you are
entering a phase of closure and accomplishment.

However, the World card invites you to reflect on your journey, honor your
achievements, and tune into your spiritual lessons.

This is Saturn energy, which symbolizes maturity and structure.

The World card is Fulfillment, Harmony, Integration, and Completion at its best.

If there is any unfinished business, the World card urges you to finish it, to
complete the full circle of what you are trying to achieve.

New opportunities and possibilities can only emerge when you conclude your previous
goals.

Also, the World card is one of the travel cards of the Major Arcana.

The World card, in a very literal sense, can mean that you will have the ability to
travel very soon, most likely overseas.

Regardless of the specifics, the Universe is looking upon you with favor now, and
you can manifest, achieve, and receive anything you desire.

The Suit of Cups deals with emotions, love, intuition, feelings, connections, and
psychic abilities.

When a Cups card comes up in your tarot reading, take a closer look at your dreams,
your heart, and your intuition.

The Suit of Cups is associated with the element of water.

The element of water is symbolic of fluidity, feelings, emotions, intuitions,

relationships, healing, and cleansing.

It's a feminine element, which is receptive but also adaptable, purifying, and
flowing.
Its correspondence in a deck of playing cards is the Suit of Hearts.

Cups tarot cards represent the astrological signs of Pisces, Cancer, and Scorpio.

Ace of Cups The Ace of Cups shows a hand appearing out of a cloud, offering a
chalice overflowing with five streams of water.

These streams of water pour from the cup into the calm blue water below.

A white dove brings a blessing from above.

Lotus flowers are floating on top of the water below.

The sky is clear.

The Ace of Cups, like the other Aces of the tarot, represents new beginnings,
opportunities, and potential.

And with cups, these new beginnings are related to the emotional world, love,
intuition, feelings, connections, and psychic abilities.

The Ace of Cups can indicate a burst of new emotions that may be overflowing.

Water is the symbol of emotions.

The cups represent the vessels of your subconscious mind.

The dove is a symbol of love and peace.

The five streams flowing out of the cup are the five senses we have.

The water lilies represent growth and enlightenment and a powerful symbol of
purity.

The clear sky suggests a trouble-free time of peace and harmony.

The hand holding the cup is the hand of the universe, offering blessings to you.

The clouds here are the symbol of the divine.

All Aces are about possibilities, but it's up to you to accept it and to make the
best of it.

Do not take it for granted.

It is the right time to get in touch with how you are feeling emotionally.

The essence of this card is, be open to a new emotional and spiritual journey.

This is about feeling good and attaining a higher level of connection with your
soul.

The Two of Cups illustrates a young man and woman exchanging cups.

Above is the ancient symbol that depicts a winged staff with two snakes, called the
Caduceus of Hermes, which represents cosmic energy, protection, negotiation, trade,
commerce, duality and exchange.

A lion's head, also known as Chimera, is shown above with the Caduceus, which
represents passion and fire energy, which also governs this partnership.

The image in the card is a sign of a strong and unique bond that is shared between
two people in a relationship.

To see the Two Cups is an indication of a harmonious partnership that is built on

union of forces, a strong connection, balance and equal partnership.

These relationships can be based on love or just mutual goals.

It's a powerful card when you are looking for healing, stability and security in
life.

This card encourages balance in love, friendship and relationships.

The exchange of cups suggests that each party's emotions are interwined with the
others and their feelings have profound effect on the other.

Consider too that this can also suggest a partnership of two forces within you, a
masculine and feminine energy and balance, your rational and your emotional side,
the heart and the mind, your intellect and your instincts.

This card also features the Caduceus of Hermes.

Hermes is the messenger god and god of commerce and trade.

This symbol has taken on medical and healing associations, firstly because Hermes
was also the god of alchemy, therefore representing medications.

It was also often confused with the staff of Asclepius many centuries ago, and in
the medical world, the two symbols have been used interchangeably.

Anyhow, that symbol has become the symbol for modern day medicine and the medical
profession.

When this card turns up, especially in relation to health, it could be an

indication to seek advice from a medical professional.

Also, the two of cups is the minor arcana equivalent of the lovers in many ways.

The message of the card is that none of us gets to where we are by ourselves.

We need an ally in this world, while at the same time keeping in mind that we are
all equal in many levels.

Three of Cups The Three of Cups tarot card depicts three young women raising golden
cups in the air in a toast of celebration and joy.

Their expressions are joyful and they seem to be dancing around one another in a
circle.

They have flower crowns around each head as a symbol of success and victory.

At their feet are flowers, fruits and a pumpkin also symbolizing their current
state of wealth, goodness in life and abundance.

The Three of Cups is a card of celebration, friendship and creative collaborations.

It points to all the benefits of harmonious relationships.

Where the Ace of Cups and the Two of Cups are focused on individual and one-on-one
relationships, the Three of Cups is about being in a group.

When the Three of Cups appears in a tarot reading, you are encouraged to gather
with your closest friends to give and receive love, support and the compassion each
of you needs from one another.

It invites you to examine your attachments to the groups in your life from an
emotional point of view.

Consider reaching out to give or receive help.

This card stands for all forms of support.

This can be merging forces for support or collaboration.

In essence, this card is a card of celebration.

It's the energy of good friends who love each other unconditionally, sharing a
moment of sheer joy.

Times are good when we have each other.

The message of this card is, we give, we receive, we are supported and we love each
other for who we are.

Four of Cups This card depicts a man sitting in contemplation under a tree at the
top of a mountain.

His expression is gloom.

He sits with his arms crossed and his head down, as if in meditation or deep
thought.

On the ground, directly in front of him, three gold cups.

Next to him, a cloud offers a fourth cup.

His deep state of meditation prevents him from noticing or caring about this
offering.

The man in this card appears to be in contemplation, lost in thought, or caught up

in his own internal world.

In this case, the three cups laid out before him possibly represent the emotional
memories he holds within himself.

Maybe he's not willing to let go of.

He seems so disinterested in the cup being offered to him from a floating cloud,
which seems to be the same we saw in the Ace of Cups.

This hand is attempting to offer him the gift of a new experience, which holds the
possibility for new happiness and satisfaction.

But it seems that his attention remains focused on his internal world, so much that
he rejects the gifts being offered.
This card in the upright position is a sign of new opportunities flowing in your
direction, but you're turning them away. It's possible these opportunities simply
hold no interest to you, or that you're feeling so overwhelmed by what you already
have, that you are turning your attention and your energy internally to realign
your life.

While 4 is a number of stability, it can also represent a stagnant situation, often

caused by inactivity or lack of action. The 4 cups represents our tendency to take
things for granted. The universe continues to offer opportunities, but we don't
always recognize them. Sometimes, this card brings the message, not now, but maybe
later. While the man with the 4 cups doesn't accept the cups offered to him, he
doesn't wholly reject them either. You may be waiting for a sign of further
information before taking something new in your life. It's a warning that love and
abundance in your life can slip away if not careful.

There are great things all around, and yet it is not seen, realized, or
appreciated.

5 of Cups In the image of this card, we see a man draped in a long black cloak, his
head down, facing away in an apparent gesture of grief and sadness. His head hangs
in despair as he looks down at 3 overturned cups at his feet. These lay on the
ground in front of him, with their contents spilled all over the ground. The man
looks down at the ground, and there's a sense of regret here, indicating that he
could possibly bear some responsibility for the losses he grieves.

There's a total of 5 cups pictured in this card. There are 2 full cups standing
behind the man, which he hasn't noticed. Because the person is so focused on the
fallen cups, he fails to see the upright cups behind, representing balance, new
opportunities, and potential. All that is needed is to turn around to see them.

This card signifies not only loss, but the hope that yet remains after. This hope
is also indicated by the symbol of the bridge, which rises in the distance. The
bridge connects the man in his current situation to the future, of which is still
possible. The house we see on the left of the card tells us that when he is ready,
there's potential for security. The 5 of cups often appears in a tarot reading when
a situation hasn't turned out the way you expected, and you're sad, regretful, and
disappointed. Instead of moving with your life, you are choosing to sink in self-
pitying. The 5 of cups suggests that you're stuck and can't let go. Old wounds and
bitter memories flood your mind as you think about what happened. The 5 of cups
encourages us to honor our emotions, our sadness, our disappointment, and our
grief. However, it also challenges us the opposite too, asking us to recognize and
acknowledge what remains.

This is a reminder that when we focus on what we don't have, we miss out on the
very real goodness that is available to us and ourselves that remains to be
discovered.

6 of cups. In this card, a boy hands a cup with a flower to a little girl. The girl
looks up to the boy with love and respect as he offers the flowers to her. The
scene is at an old country courtyard in what seems to be a medieval village. In the
background stands a house or a castle. To the left of the card, a soldier or guard
walks away into the distance. The card is happy and colorful.

This image is the opposite of adult emotion and desire. The scene is a picture of
innocence, pure, heartfelt, youthful love. The 6 of cups is the ultimate tarot card
to represent a strong sense of nostalgia and memories. It also represents
remembrance and positive thinking.

The card has an overall feel of childhood and good memories. It embodies feeling
free and pure and allowing your past experiences to guide you down to new paths.
The adult figure walking away suggests letting go of the adult side for a while and
enjoying the play and innocence of being in the moment. On a literal level, the
card may also be referencing someone appearing from your past, an old friend from a
simpler time in life. The 6 of cups is a card that is overflowing with love and
nostalgia. This is also an opportunity to tell those close to you that you love and
value them. The 6 of cups reminds us to channel our own inner child and nurture it.

It's an invitation to engage in life's simple pleasures. At the end of the day,
deep inside, we are still the same people we were during our own age of innocence.

7 of Cups In the 7 of cups, a figure stands before 7 floating cups filled with
various objects.

Some cups carry desirable gifts, but others hold other darker objects. The 7 of
cups often shows up when there are many options available. It is a card of
decisions, choices, and illusion.

7 is a spiritual number that may indicate fate or beliefs, while the suit of cups
deals with emotions and intuition. In the case of the 7 of cups, there are many
different choices that could be pulling your attention away from what is most
needed. It is a card of trusting your intuition to make the right choice and that
there is more than meets the eye given the situation or question.

With this, the 7 of cups can also mean losing yourself in dangerous thoughts. At
the end, this card is about making choices. The distraction of having too many
choices or options leads to confusion and indecision. You may have many options on
the table, but think and be patient before making a choice.

8 of Cups In the 8 of cups, a man walks away from 8 cups standing. The cups are
arranged in a way that it looks like one is missing. The man has turned his back on
these cups with a sense of loss and disappointment and walks away into the
mountains. Nearby, a river and mountains. The moon in the night sky illuminates the
path ahead. He disappears in the dark on a barren and unpaved road with only a robe
on his back and a stick in his hand. The arrangement of the cups indicates as if
one is missing, symbolizing the lack of emotional stability and fulfillment. This
card suggests you sense that something is missing, particularly on an emotional or
spiritual level, and instead of waiting around for things to get better, you leave
that unfulfilling situation. It seems as if he has decided to try new paths. The 8
of cups terror card represents changing feelings towards certain aspects of your
life and having a new perspective. It's abandonment and letting go.

When this card turns up in a reading, you may want to walk away from a situation.

Although it usually carries the meaning of disillusionment and abandonment, the 8

of cups may indicate that while you feel like walking away from a situation, it's
possible you might be returning. The cups will be there for you when you return.
You might find them useful to you when you come back. The 8 of cups invites you to
ask yourself what brings you joy and fulfillment on a deeper level. Without it, you
might be in a constant search of things that will fail to give you the satisfaction
you're seeking. Another interesting meaning of the 8 of cups may also indicate that
you need to sober up. Don't waste your time on addictions on a physical, mental or
emotional level that are useless to you. Realize this and turn your back on these
things. The 8 of cups can also indicate travel, especially long travel plans. You
might have a journey ahead of you. The 8 of cups offers a gentle reminder that
letting go and accepting what is can be a much easier and healthier alternative.
However, go towards what brings you joy and fulfillment to your soul. 9 of cups.
The 9 of cups tarot card depicts a man sitting on a wooden bench with his arms
crossed, smiling with an apparent sense of satisfaction.
He is dressed in a long white robe and wears a red hat on his head. Above him, we
see nine cups arranged in a row like trophies. The 9 of cups tarot card is about
emotional fulfillment and happiness. When this card appears in a tarot reading, it
suggests that you're satisfied with one or more aspects of your life, either
material or spiritual, but it's simple satisfaction with what we have. It's number
9, not 10, as in this isn't total fulfillment. The 9 of cups is often called the
wish card because it comes as a sign that the 9 plan is aligned and you're close to
getting everything you wish for. Notice that the person of the 9 of cups is sitting
on a wooden bench that is comfortable. This satisfaction is only temporary because
everything is in constant change. 10 of cups. The 10 of cups tarot card depicts a
family in the sunlight of a beautiful day. Above them is a rainbow adorned with 10
cups. The mother and father stand with their backs to us. They look towards a house
on a hill with arms around each other. It's an image of love, union, and harmony.
Their hands are raised as if to thank for all they have received.

In the background, two children play happily another beautiful day together. The 10
of cups embodies happiness, joy, and emotional stability in your relationships and
family. It represents a sense of completion and alignment in your relationships
with others. The family's home symbolizes stability and comfort. The grassy hills
signify fertility and the rivers mark the flow of emotion. The rainbow signals the
end of a difficult time and a sign from the divine. This is a state of peace,
harmony, and love where your dreams and wishes come true. It's a moment to step
back and appreciate everything you accomplished and have and be grateful for it.

Page of cups. The page of cups tarot card shows a young person standing on a
seashore with a golden cup in his hand. This page is wearing a floral tunic and a
matching beret with a long scarf. A fish comes out of the cup, locking eyes with
the page on the card. The blue waves in the background symbolize the waves of
emotions. When the page of cups appears in a tarot reading, it's suggesting that
brilliant ideas can suddenly burst to the surface. They are not formed yet, but
it's a spark, a surge for something new. This card suggests beginnings,
opportunities, and possibilities.

A symbol of imagination, the page of cups can indicate turning away from the storms
of everyday life, focusing instead on quiet reflection and the inner self. The fish
in this drawing represents the unexpected. Like the fish popping his head out of
the cup in the page's hand, ideas can manifest when you least expect them. There's
a creative energy flowing within you. Maybe a new idea surfaced out of the blue.

you want to do with this new idea. When talking about a person, the page of cups
indicates a person with a great charm and natural modesty. Generally has a gentle,
quiet, and calm personality who truly wants to help in any way they can with care
and love. In a literal sense, the page of cups can indicate that you will receive
an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Pages are often known as the messenger cards, and with a page of cups, you may
receive a message related to emotions, intuition, or created endeavors. The page of
cups is encouraging you to be a child at heart. Listen to your emotions and let
them flow. Don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild once in a while. If you
stop dreaming, it might be hard to ever accomplish what you want. Night of cups.
The night of cups tarot card depicts an armored knight sitting on a white horse
with a golden cup in his hand in front of him, as if offering it to someone. Over
his armor, the knight wears a cloak covered with images of fish, the symbol of
water. His helmet and boots are winged. The horse in the night of cups is not
charging forward, but instead moves slowly, giving a feeling of calmness. The
background is mostly barren, except for some trees far away and the river that
flows through. Some people view the night of cups as your prince or princess
charming, your knight in shining armor, and your ultimate lover. But it goes beyond
that. As with all court cards in the minor arcana, the night of cups may reference
an actual person or an idea.

The night of cups is a combination of action and creative energy. Where the page of
cups is creative, the night of cups takes that creativity and adds momentum and
forward motion. The night of cups is also the great romantic of the tarot knights.
Riding forward, holding his cup, as if to make a romantic gesture. He's in touch
with his emotional side, but also clear upon his course.

But most importantly, the night of cups represents the energy to turn creative
ideas into reality.

It channels creative energies into useful forms. The horse represents power,
energy, and drive, and the white color is a symbol of purity, spirituality, and
light. The night of cups tarot card suggests that deep-seated emotional needs are
about to be fulfilled. Old wounds can finally heal and grudges can be put to rest.
Other meanings for this card can indicate travel over water or approach and arrival
to a new creative or emotional situation. The message here is to take action and
follow your heart. Whether you're falling in love with a person, a project, or an
idea without fear or expectation.

Queen of cups. On the queen of cups tarot card, we see a woman sitting on a throne
at the edge of the water. The throne is ornate and adorned with aquatic cherubs and
a large seashell design. The watery pattern on her cloak blends into the waters at
her feet, connecting her with the concept of water. Her cup is far more ornate than
the cups used by every other card in the suit, including the kings. It's decorated
with winged angels. Unlike all the other cups, hers is closed at the top and it
seems to contain something. The queen herself gazes intensely at the cup, as if she
is seeing visions with it or communicating with something within. The queen of cups
reflects the inner realm where your intuition merges with your deepest feelings and
desires. She represents a supportive and trustworthy person or energy. Someone who
gives birth to ideas and support those of others. The queen of cups encourages you
to access your deepest feelings and to take care of them with tender love. When the
queen of cups appears in a tarot reading, you are being asked to trust your
intuition and pay attention to your feelings and emotions. Lead with your heart,
not with your head. A queen of cups lies within each one of us. When she appears in
reference to your own personality, it's a suggestion to think carefully about how
you use your spiritual wisdom.

She can be a sign that you should use your intuition to guide you.

When referring about a person, this card can represent a powerful woman influential
in your life, but also the embodiment of maturity, calmness, and sensitive energy.
This card conveys the message of never leaving aside our intuitive capacity. Embody
this energy by supporting people on an emotional level and show patience,
understanding, and unconditional emotional support. King of cups. This king
represents the suit of cups and therefore the suit of emotion. He is the
emotionally mature expression of the cups court cards.

A king sits on a throne surrounded by turbulent sea. A fish leaps out of the water
and there's a ship in the distance. The king holds his scepter in one hand and a
large cup on the other. A golden fish is suspended from a chain around his neck.
The king of cups is a card that symbolizes intelligence, diplomacy, kindness,
tolerance, maturity, creative thinking, and wisdom. This card can represent the
unity of your head and your soul. It's easy to mistake the king of cups as a strong
masculine energy card, but given that the suit of cups addresses emotionals in
general, it's actually a fairly balanced card. It has a lot to do with emotions as
well as its traits of generosity and emotional balance. When this card comes up in
a tower reading, it invites you to embody compassion and kindness. The king is
strong and powerful, but he is aware of his feelings and the feelings of those
around him. It's time to take control over powerful emotions with wisdom, leading
your feelings to emotional maturity. The king of cups suggests you need to remain
emotionally mature when faced with negative energies from others. Be true to your
emotions and feelings, not allowing the negative force of the turbulent seas to
steer you off your course.

The suit of pentacles, also referred to as coins, deal with matters of the material
and physical worlds. Pentacles are often misunderstood as only symbols of monetary
and material matters, but they also speak of external situations like career,
success, family, physical health, and creativity. In essence, it's related to all
things that are matter, including nature and our body. The suit of pentacles is
associated with the element earth, which is grounded, stable, supportive, and
fertile. It's a receptive feminine energy.

Its correspondence in a deck of playing cards is the suit of diamonds.

Pentacles tower cards represent the astrological signs of Taurus, Virgo, and
Capricorn.

Ace of pentacles. The ace of pentacles depicts a hand emerging from the clouds like
the aces of the other suits. A large coin sits in a cupped palm. The landscape in
this card is lush and abounding, a garden brimming with green grass and white
lilies. A small path leads to an archway wrapped in a beautiful foliage and
flowers, and beyond the arch, mountains in the horizon.

The ace of pentacles, like the other aces of the tarot, represents new beginnings,
opportunities, and potential. And with pentacles, these new beginnings are related
to the material world, finances, wealth, career, physical health, and overall
manifestation of your goals.

This is the seed to move forward with your earthly goals. The ace of pentacles
encourages you to make the most of its potential and turn it into something
meaningful.

Two of pentacles. In the two of pentacles, a young man is juggling two coins. An
infinity symbol surrounds and connects the coins. In the background, two ships sail
on huge waves going up and down in the sea. This card is all about finding balance
and juggling the ups and downs that occur in one's life. Despite all the chaos that
surrounds him, the character handles all with joy and grace. But it's also a
warning to keep the balance between completing the tasks at hand, meeting your
obligation, and keeping control with focus and attention. This card asks how is
your awareness to the concept of balance and those parts of your life where you
have it. While you can strive for balance, nothing ever stays in perfect harmony.
It's suggesting you that you can and must handle problems as long as you manage
your resources, time, and energy well.

Three of pentacles. The card depicts a young apprentice standing on a bench. He

looks back at two men, a priest and a nobleman. The two men are listening to the
stonemason. It looks like he is discussing his project. The body language of the
two men shows us that they value his opinion and expertise. The three of pentacles
in tarot stands for teamwork, planning, and competence. The three of pentacles
highlights your unique skills as they relate to a wider group. This card asks you
how you can bring your skills and goals together with other people in order to
create something great. It's also the value of different ideas and levels of
experience in collaboration.

This card is a celebration of community effort and teamwork.

Four of pentacles. This card depicts a man who is sitting on a stool holding
pentacles in a very tight posture. One pentacle is balanced on his crown head.
Another one is tightly clutched between his own hands. There are also two more of
them securely placed underneath his feet. The sky is a monochrome gray and behind
him on the background is a view of a city. This card can go two ways.

It's either about greed or it's about self-care. Either way, it's focused on self.
When the four of pentacles is upright in a tarot reading, it means that you need to
be careful about the level of control that you are trying to exert. Some control is
necessary in most situations and you need to be firm when a situation becomes
chaotic. This is true for the material world. At the same time, he is also unable
to move because he is holding the coins so tightly. In other words, he is
restrained from acting because he is holding on too tight to his possessions.

Five of pentacles. In the five of pentacles, two people walk outside while snowing.

One man looks injured and uncrutched.

while the other has only a thin shawl covering its head walking barefoot in the
snow. There is a black wall on the background with a stained glass window featuring
five pentacles suggesting a church of some kind. The five of pentacles is not a
great card to get as it represents hardship, rejection or a negative change in
circumstances. It represents sickness, poverty and general struggle. The five of
pentacles can represent several kinds of lack. First there is poor health. This
card can be a signal that you are neglecting the needs of your body. You're moving
away from complete physical well-being so you must take steps to discover and
correct the problem. This card can also be a sign of material and economic
setbacks. The five of pentacles can also represent rejection or lack of acceptance.
Being rejected can mean physical hardship as well. The five of pentacles relate to
the material lack but it also has a spiritual side. From the stained glass window
it seems these two figures are outside of a church or shelter. Comfort is close at
hand. Whenever you experience hardship know that it's only temporary. Look for the
spiritual center that will take you in and give you shelter.

Six of pentacles. The six of pentacles shows a man nicely dressed in a red robe
handing out coins to two beggars who are kneeling at his feet. In his left hand
he's holding a balanced scale. The six of pentacles is a card of giving and
receiving. Sometimes you're on the giving end and other times you are on the
receiving end. It's a constant cycle in life and this card is a reminder that the
balance can change at any time. This is not just about sharing material goods but
also sharing your time, resources, compassion and encouragement to those in need.
Sometimes these are almost as emotionally rewarding if not more. The six of
pentacles also talks about dynamics and relationships. It asks you to consider the
balance within your relationships. Are you the person who is always giving or the
one who takes and takes? Take a look at the balances and imbalances within your
interactions. Finally the six of pentacles is a card representing financial
harmony. Always be thankful for what you have and share it with others in need. The
good advice of the six of pentacles is to believe that any gift you make is
appreciated and will return to you greatly.

Seven of pentacles. In the seven of pentacles a man is gazing down at his crop. He
is taking a break from his hard labor to admire the fruit in his garden.

He is leaning over his gardening tool with a pensive face. He doesn't look happy
nor sad but contemplating the fruits of his efforts. When this card appears in a
tarot reading see it as an invitation to step back from your daily routine and look
at the bigger picture. It's time for evaluation, growth and gain.

Success comes from hard work and patience but this card reminds you to take care
not to overdo and exhaust yourself in the process. You also want to make sure
you're focusing your energy on the right areas instead of wasting time and effort
on things that will not deliver any value. Celebrate what you achieve and evaluate
in which direction you want to go.

Eight of pentacles. On the eight of pentacles we see a young man hammering a coin.
He has finished seven and is working on number eight while being totally focused
with a task on hand. With a town on the background he seems to be at a far distance
isolated from others. The eight of pentacles is sometimes named the apprentice card
because he is still learning and mastering his trade.

The essence of this card is mastery. It's hard work and attention to detail. This
requires great diligence and focus. Eight is the number of mastery and
accomplishment. It's a very positive symbol especially if you're trying hard to
master a new skill. Unlike most of other pentacle cards this card does not only
imply financial gain. It signifies pride in one's work and life purpose. The
message of the eight of pentacles is carefully planned activities are key of
success. Practicing makes perfection. Dedication to your plans and intentions will
bring the results. Take care not to get lost in the details failing to observe the
whole picture.

Nine of pentacles. The nine of pentacles shows an elegant woman standing in a

vineyard or garden. She is wearing a long luxurious golden robe and a red
headpiece. The vines behind her are heavy with grapes and golden coins. A falcon is
sitting peacefully on her left hand. The vines behind her are rich and filled with
grapes and many golden coins. Her right hand rests upon one of the coins as her
fingers are touching the purple grapes on the vine. In the background is a large
house. We can assume it belongs to the woman herself. Nine of pentacles suggests
achievement, reward, abundance, success and financial stability. When the nine of
pentacles appears in a tarot reading it's an invitation to enjoy the rewards of the
fruits of your labor. If you're not there yet it suggests that you can be there
soon with efforts, self-confidence and discipline. You have already achieved so
much and while you may not be at the finish line yet this is your opportunity to
acknowledge your achievements and re-energize yourself for the final phase. Ten of
pentacles. The ten of pentacles shows a white-haired man wearing an embroidered
robe sitting with his two white dogs at his feet in front of an archway. A younger
couple stands nearby with a small child. On the archway are flags looking like a
rich heritage and family history. Behind the couple shows a big tower and overall
appears that this family is in the courtyard of a big mansion or a castle. Their
wealth goes beyond the material comfort. The man and his family have a deeply
rooted connection to their lineage, home and community. The ten of pentacles
represents material success and healthy family relationships. It suggests a tight
and close family unit.

If we take a look the environment shows a lot of wealth and prosperity. The old man
shows the heritage and family values that he has passed to the next generations.
The family getting together shows binding and happy times. The dogs are faithful
domestic animals and shows loyalty and care in the family for each.

Kids represents your ambitions and dreams and things you look ahead in your life.
The big mansion with the tower indicates security and safety. This card can also
suggest care of an elderly parent or relative. The ten of pentacles urges you to
consider the many uses of wealth both spiritual and material not only to you but to
your family unit and the next generation and those loved ones by you so they might
gain as much growth as you have assuring the future success and well-being of those
we care for.

Page of pentacles. The page of pentacles depicts a young man standing in a field of
blooming flowers. There's a mountain range in the horizon representing upcoming
challenges and obstacles. The page holds a gold coin in his hand and examines it
carefully as trying to figure out how to manifest in reality its potential. When

to manifest a personal goal or dream. You're excited about the possibilities and
potential of what you put your mind to knowing that you can create whatever you
want with focus intention and action. It's an opportunity to start something new.
The page of pentacles is not yet an expert but has a clear goal and dream to
achieve. What you must put in the work and you must learn what is required to
fulfill the goal. Since pentacles rule the material realm and correspond to the
element of earth this page symbolizes awareness of the value of money wealth
possessions career and physical health and how to manifest more of these material
blessings. That said this page does not specify the fulfillment of dreams as much
as the initial motivation and energy to begin the process of turning those dreams
to reality. You need to put in place clear plans for achieving your dreams and
goals. The page of pentacles often appears when you're ready to elevate your skills
and learn something new so you can manifest your dreams. See this card as an
invitation to try something new and discover another aspect of yourself. The more
skills you master the more goals and dreams you can achieve. The message of this
card is anything is possible but you need to make it happen.

looking at the horizon and the land. The horse is standing all four feet to the
ground symbolizing stability and connection to earth. This knight represents steady
and practical progress. The knight of pentacles represents work effort and the
responsibility that follows upon the dreams and ideals of the page. Out of all the
knights in the tarot cards the knight of pentacles is the most stable and secure.

seated, calm, still and grounded. It represents a practical and dependable energy
that will inspire you to always work hard to get what is wanted and needed. It's a

her crown all the way to the ground beneath her feet. The Queen holds in
contemplation a large pentacle coin in her lap. Behind the Queen's head we see a
cherub who also seems to be looking at a pentacle coin in the Queen's lap.
Surrounding her throne are plants and flowers. A rabbit is seen in the lower right
of the card signifying energy, fertility and the Queen's association with Mother
Earth. In the far distance we see mountains representing the challenge to face to
get to this place of nature and serenity. The Queen of Pentacles is the nurturing
energy of the material world that exudes care and compassion and the embodiment of
the Empress archetype. The card typically represents the dual ideals of prosperity

suit of swords deals with the mental level of our consciousness that is centered
around the mind and the intellect. Swords reflect our capacity of thinking, our
logic and the state of mind present in thoughts, intelligence and communication.

When a swords card comes up in your tarot reading take a closer look at your
thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. They deal with issues related to decisions,
communication, reasoning, ideas and inspiration. They suggest choices that are
being made with a head over the heart. The suit of swords is associated with the
element of air. Air is invisible but also fluid and in constant movement as gentle
as breeze or forceful as stormy winds. It all relates to knowledge, action, power
and change. It's a masculine energy that can lead by force and power even though it
remains unseen. Its correspondence in a deck of playing cards is a suit of spades.
Swords cards represent the astrological signs of Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. Ace of
swords. The ace of swords card shows a hand emerging from the clouds wielding a
double-edged sword. This double-edged sword carries a golden crown while being
encircled by a wreath. The sword stands floating and on the background we see
mountains which are used as symbols of the vast reach that swords can go. The crown
is used as a symbol for power and the wreath is associated with victory, success
and achievement. As an ace, this card represents the beginning of a journey. The
ace of swords marks a wave of new energy from the intellectual realm. This card is
a sign of encouragement. It says your mind is in expansion mode. You're open to
embracing new ideas, inspiration, original thinking and vision and you're excited
to pursue new opportunities that draw upon your mental and intellectual abilities.
When the ace of swords appears in a tarot reading, it tells you that now is an
excellent time to start a new project. One that requires your intellect,
communication skills and mental power. But also consider that the sword is a
double-edged blade implying that it can both create and destroy. The message of
this card is clear. With power comes responsibility. It will be up to you how to
leverage the opportunity for the greater good. You will need a strong heart and
mind to see how to best use your power for the service of others and yourself.

Two of swords. The two of swords tarot card depicts a blindfolded woman dressed in
a white robe. She is seated and holding two identical cross swords in her hands.
Behind the woman is a body of water with rocky islands. Above her is the moon in
crescent face. The two of swords denote a crossroads or stalemate.

It appears whenever you're facing a difficult decision in your life. The blindfold
over her eyes tells us that the power of the mind is not limited to sight. She
turns inwards to her thoughts and beyond them. It's about shouting out distractions
and aligning voices inside your own mind. The rocks in the water behind the woman
represent the obstacles that must be faced. The water represents the emotions and
while the suit of swords traditionally associates with the mind and intellect, the
presence of water shows that the woman must use both her head and her heart to
weigh her options. The crescent moon up above, it's still in its growth phase and
symbolizes growth and going throughout a cycle. Just like the blindfolded woman
going through a process of decision-making. The two of swords comes as a reminder
that many of life's decisions are difficult ones and rarely come with clear-cut
answers. This is an invitation to make your choices with your best intentions,
fully aware of possible consequences. Use your mind and intellect and pair them
with your heart and intuition to choose the path that is most in alignment with
your higher self.

Three of swords. The depiction of the three of swords tarot card is simple yet so
powerful. It illustrates a floating heart pierced by three swords. In the
background we see dark clouds and heavy downpour of rain. The three of swords
signifies a sudden and unexpected blow to emotions. The heart pierced by the three
swords represents the pain inflicted by words, actions or intent by emotional and
possibly physical hurt. The dark clouds in the background mirror this pain but
offer the hope that just as the storm clouds will disappear, so too will the pain
and hurt you're experiencing. When the three of swords turns up in a tarot reading,
it signals a feeling of deep hurt and disappointment pierced by the sharp blades of
hurtful words, actions and intentions and they have inflicted intense emotions of
pain, sadness, grief and heartbreak. These events are often unexpected and come out
of the blue, making them even more painful. The three of swords comes as a reminder
that pain, sorrow and grief are a necessary part of life. Without pain you can
never experience the challenges you need to grow and develop as a person.

However, this is also a card of resilience. The clouds will dissipate and soon you
will have a better perspective of what you can learn from the experience. The heart
does not truly break but mends itself. We carry in our own hearts the scars of all
kinds of pain but we are still here. Our hearts are still beating.

Four of swords. The four of swords tarot card depicts the carved image of a man
lying on a tomb. His hands are pressed together as if he is praying and his
expression is serene. Above him hangs three swords and the fourth sword is carved
into the front of his resting place. In the background we see a stained glass
depicting a woman and a child. The four of swords tarot card stands for the need to
rest, contemplation and quiet time. All the sword cards represent some form of
trials and challenges and on this card the challenge is to try to remain quiet, to
rest and recharge. The coffin in the four of swords does not symbolize death but a
period of going within. The lid is open and it seems to be empty. When the four of
swords appears in a reading it suggests a period of mental downtime. As with all
the cards in the suit of swords this moment won't last forever so it's important to
use this time wisely. The main idea of this card is take time and space for
yourself. It's important to take a step back, reevaluate your life, gather strength
and focus your energy before facing the next challenge. Pausing, calming and
resting in this instance is the wisest way to promote a better self.

Five of swords. In the five of swords card a man picks up three swords from the
ground. He glances over his shoulder at two men who are walking away conveying a
sense of sadness and loss. We can see two more swords across the grass suggesting a
battle has been fought and lost. The sky is cloudy and tumultuous, a sign that not
all is well even though the fighting has stopped. The five of swords represent
conflict or tension between individuals which if not resolved is a lost scenario
for everyone involved. This card symbolizes loss, betrayal, weakness and ultimately
it describes that something must be let go in order to move forward. This card can
also show intimidation by a bully, a person who gains self-worth by oppressing
others verbally, physically or emotionally. It shows us how ego can wreak havoc on
our relationships and connections. Ultimately the cause of this victory becomes
clear. The advice of the five of swords is to pick your battles. Choosing your
battles wisely is better than engaging in every disagreement. Not only will it lead
to a more peaceful existence, but your interpersonal relationships are likely to
come out stronger.

Six of Swords The Six of Swords shows a woman and a young child being rolled across
a body of water.

Under a gray sky, a ferryman steers a small boat toward a distant landscape.

The woman is completely shrouded, hunched, and sitting next to a small child.

Six of Swords are stuck into the boat, pointing down.

The guide stands behind them, stirring up the water as he slowly moves the boat
into the horizon.

The Six of Swords is heavy with thought and emotion.

It shows us that it's a healing journey, it's a process of moving after a difficult
time.

It travels over water.

journey happening too.

To cross a body of water is symbolically to move forward emotionally.

There is a quiet, supportive sense of empowerment in this card.

The Six of Swords invites you to let go of whatever is holding you back, be it from
your past or your present circumstances.

good and long-term potential.

life.

Don't dwell on what's left behind.

Seven of Swords The Seven of Swords tarot card depicts a man sneaking away from a
military camp with five swords in his hands while looking behind to check for any
witnesses.

In the background, two swords stand, indicating that this man has stolen the
weapons that he possesses.

The expression on his face is confident, knowing that he will not be caught.

The Seven of Swords in most decks is often associated with cleverness at best and
deception at worst.

However, this does not need to be written off as a negative card.

When harnessed positively, its energy can be subversive and entertaining, a much-
needed break from the seriousness of obligation.

It reveals doing things your own way and abandoning group ideals.

The Seven of Swords is seen as a card of saving yourself.

Selfishness can have positive elements to it, as in many personal transformations,

but it can be negative as well, revealing the core selfishness present in many of
our decisions.

There is also an element of haste in this card, an indicator of moving fast in a

decision-making process.

It might also suggest that you may need to put yourself first to get what you want,
even if it means letting others down or putting others offside.

The Seven of Swords could also imply that you are trying to escape from a situation
that is not working for you anymore, rather than dealing with it head-on.

A more negative interpretation of this card can reflect dishonesty, unclear

motives, and a desire to evade duty or escape from conflict, whether real or
imagined.

The Seven of Swords is a card also concerned with poor effort on a task.

The character is leaving two swords behind, not completing what he came to do.

Paired with other cards, it can balance its meaning towards one side or the other.

However, this is a card that asks you to look inward and examine your own behavior.

Eight of Swords The Eight of Swords illustrates a blindfolded woman surrounded by

eight swords.

Her arms are tied behind her and bound to her body.

The swords around her seem to serve as a prison, but there is enough space in front
of her to escape.

It seems as if she is too focused on her painful situation, leaving her unable to
perceive that there is a way out.

The Eight of Swords, in the upright position, stands for feeling stuck in a
repeated cycle or feeling bound by outside forces.

Sometimes we feel restricted, entrapped, and being backed into a corner by

circumstances, lost and confused, with no chance of help and relief.

You might feel as if you are in an impossible situation.

When you draw the Eight of Swords card, remember that choices are always available.

Solutions may not come easily, but they do exist.

All that is required is to take the first step towards a solution of clarity of
thought.
The essence of this card is, you are not a victim.

Don't surrender your power to an external situation, allowing yourself to become

trapped and limited in some way.

Take back your power and personal accountability, and open your eyes to the options
in front of you.

You do have choices.

You are not powerless.

Nine of Swords The Nine of Swords tarot card depicts a man sitting on a bed with
his face in his hands.

On the wall behind him hangs nine swords, aligned and mounted vertically.

The man's shoulders are hunched downward, suggesting that he may have awoken from a
nightmare or that he is crying into his hands.

Below him, a carving of a person being defeated is engraved into his bed.

The Nine of Swords is a card that represents recurring fears and worries.

It symbolizes finding it difficult to look at a situation for what it truly is.

It carries a feeling of victimization, self-defeat, deep unhappiness, stress, being

overwhelmed and burdened.

When this card comes up in a tarot reading, look at your attitude when facing a
given dilemma, one that worries you.

You may also feel that there isn't much that you can do to fix your situation.

This is not the case.

Remind yourself that you can face anything and allow yourself time to deal with
whatever you are currently going through.

Look at the big picture, and you'll see the situation from a different point of
view.

The Ten of Swords shows a man lying face down, apparently dead, with ten swords
stabbed into his back.

A red cape drapes over the lower half of his body.

The dark sky breaks to show the sun of a new horizon.

There is a calm body of water followed by mountains on the horizon.

In the Ten of Swords, we're really getting to the highest climax point of what
we've learned in the swords.

The Ten of Swords marks a painful ending.

It's the end of a cycle.

It can't hurt you any further.

As difficult as it is, whatever transpires now is forcing you to look into a new
direction and towards a new dawn.

It indicates facing a time during which there is a sense of defeat.

This sense of failure will cause pain and sadness, but it's a necessary stage to
close the cycle, so it can't hurt you any longer.

The Ten of Swords is freedom.

It's liberation.

It's very uncomfortable, but it does invite us to welcome a new beginning.

Respect the emotions of this moment.

Denying its pain and sadness is denying yourself to complete the cycle that will
enable you to grow.

The hour is darkest before dawn, and you must experience the full impact of what
has happened before you can move forward and start over.

around inspiration, passion, courage, and drive.

Wands reflect our willpower, creative potential, and could suggest themes of

Ace of wands.

Against a silver sky, a cloud hovers over a lush landscape.

From this cloud appears a hand holding a wand.

Energy emanates from the hand.

The landscape has trees and a castle off on a hill in the distance.

Like all aces, the ace of wands brings a positive message for your present and
future, symbolizing a moment that will change everything for the better.

of something.

everything you need to make any new venture work.

energizing.

The castle in the distance can represent success or the stability and security you
need to move forward with your idea.

Don't let this castle fade away in the distance.

Regardless of what obstacles you may come across, your path will reach your goal if
you keep working towards it.

The ace is one of the most powerful and pure cards of each tarot suit.

It's an opportunity, but nothing is guaranteed.

Your presence and energy are required to take this further.

You're being asked to work with this energy in a new way, but there's only real
potential here.

It's up to you to make it happen.

Two of Wands A man in a red and orange colored clothing is standing at the
battlement of a castle looking into the distance.

In one hand, he holds a globe and on his other hand, he embraces one of the two
wands in the card.

He looks like he is planning something.

The wand he is holding is unfortified and free, while the other is affixed to the
wall in the building.

Unlike the ace of wands, which indicates that it's time for you to trust your
intuition and the start of something new, the two of wands card tells you that it's
time to place your future in your own hands.
When you pull this card upright, it represents the planning stages of an idea.

You hold the potential of the world in your hands.

What are you going to do with it?

At this time, you're looking at your options and you're weighting them carefully.

It's not yet time to make your move.

Number two indicates decisions that need to be made, but also, like the differences
with both wands, they represent opposing forces.

The two of wands can appear in situations when you plan on doing something with
opposing routes to get to it.

At this stage, it could be the case that you will still have doubts and don't know
how to proceed.

enthusiasm too, making you wonder if you should actually take action or not.

This is a card of personal freedom and choice.

The two of wands represents two paths and you have the ability to choose.

and step out of your comfort zone.

Three of wands.

golden sea.

sea.

Rather than going anywhere, you may be asked to widen your horizons.

If needed, step back and reconsider.

See how the present fits into the greater picture.

Four of Wands The four of wands tarot card depicts a wreath of flowers adorning
four identical wands in the foreground.

Their arms are raised in the air as if they are feeling triumphant celebrating
something.

Additionally, they are close to one another, which indicates that there is a close
relationship between them.

celebration, a time to rejoice and to be reminded of the support and security of
knowing that there are people in your life that care about you.

friends or another social event, but in simple terms, this card refers to having
fun and enjoying yourself fully and without restrictions.

On a more general level, this card refers to celebration as a state of mind, of

having a sense of optimism, happiness and joy, one where we feel free of
restrictions and unbound by any limitations, an attitude of enthusiasm and faith in
what the future holds for us.

The number four indicates a secure, stable state and conveys a sense of
accomplishment.

three of wands, it's time to celebrate what you have achieved so far.

permission to take a break before stepping onto the new phase of your journey.

that tie you up and restrict your freedom, to be reborn to a life of greater
harmony, knowledge and happiness.

The five of wands depicts five men waving their sticks in a chaotic way, engaged in
a playful struggle, although it seems they are in competition and dominance as they
threaten one another with their wands in a combative stance.

But the wands do not yet clash and no one is being physically struck.

However, if you look closely, they just raise the stick up rather than fight.

The number five indicates movement and conflict.

After the stable state represented by the four of wands, there comes some change
