Competition, uncertainty, internal conflict, unexpected advantage or turn of event, these are the words commonly associate with the Five of Wands when it is upright. It acts as a warning that we need to be cautious with those around us. It could also mean conflicts within ourselves, for example...
Don’t you just hate it when you feel like you’re the backup dancing monkey in a poorly managed circus? They say don’t draw cards when you’re too happy or sad or angry. I say do draw a card, especially when you’re emotionally unstable. Because that’s the moment when you see things from an interesting perspective.
Many readers assign a romantic indication to The Lovers card, however this card is about the Paradise and the Lost. From the expulsion from Paradise, to the return to Paradise on Judgement Day, The Lovers card essentially is about a moral choice, about choosing the right path. Of course if you're waiting for a sign in the romance department, this card is likely a very positive omen.
The Page of Cups is symbolic for the Lightness of Heart. The emotional content of the Water element is presented light-heartedly and light-handedly.
The card I received, is the Knight of Coins. I really love how this card is presented in this deck. The Knight looks like he has returned with victory, ready to accept all the roses and kisses, and yet, there's quite an ambiguity to his glory.
Typically when The Hermit shows up reversed in a reading, it means we have been given wise counsel, however we are not heeding it for some reason. But there is also another meaning to this card.
The full moon in Scorpio calls us to go inward, to dive deep into our emotional self and the roots of that self. Tuning into the foundations of how we meet the world, acknowledging the part of ourselves we may sometimes avoid, releasing the stagnant energies to clear the way for something more meaningful. My friend Alex wants to know how best he can harness this super full moon power. Since he wanted a “simple” answer, I did a quick inquiry reading for him, and the card we got, is Three of Cups in reverse. Water element, Yin energy, associated astrological signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
Some of us may interpret the High Priest (the Hierophant) as "orthodoxy": conform to what's the present norm and obtain the approval of those in power. I think the High Priest represents our own personal essence or soul. It's a card of mysteries.
As the moon's energy decreases and shadows form, it's a good time to turn our focus inward. When we start our inner development, we will discover things about ourselves which we are not comfortable with. And that is our shadow self, the "self" we hide away from others and maybe even from ourselves. The shadow aspects play a very influential part in our lives on our behaviours and ways of thinking.
The very first new moon of a year, it contains really powerful energies, which makes it one of the best times to set new intentions and review the old. First, let’s look at what 2021 entails based on the Chinese astrology. Then I will tell you what my Tarot card thinks about it 😉.
Today we will have the wolf moon of 2021 in Leo. It should bring us a sense of growth and expansion, seeds we've sown last year during the Leo season may be coming to fruition 🍑. The Tarot card I drew on this day, is Two of Wands. Fire element, Yang energy, related to personal and professional development.
