Reversed Six of Pentacles


May 29, 2015
Reversed Six of Pentacles

Greed, jealousy, and ingratitude are all in the air, but just beware that you are not in their service. Beware also of other's reckless decisions, or of making them yourself. The mood in which any major choice is made colors it's outcome, so wait until your calm.

Reversed Justice


May 27, 2015
Reversed Justice

Life is often unfair, and luck counts for more than we care to admit in realizing our dreams. Opposed to this, however, is the natural human thirst for fairness represented by the eighth card of the Major Arcana which recalls Themis, the ancient Greek goddess of Justice, with her scales and her sword of discernment, in this case supported by the dragon of higher wisdom. She represents an ideal that we may strive toward.
Loss, particularly in legal matters, injustice, and a lack of recognition at work are all threatened by the Justice card reversed. Prepare to ride out a storm as false accusations, prejudice, and bullying may come your way, but try to see this as a test of character.

May 26, 2015

Reversed Queen of Pentacles


May 25, 2015
Reversed Queen of Pentacles

The Queen becomes greedy, spiteful, extravagant, suspicious, demanding, and full of complaints about the ingratitude of the world. She is blind to other's good intentions. Beware of succumbing to her oddly persuasive views.

Reversed Ten of Pentacles


May 23, 2015
Reversed Ten of Pentacles

Modest success is indicated. Your idea has worked but few recognize its full value, so you are left with having to content yourself with the knowledge that you have done a good job that might be appreciated one day. Family problems are likely when the Ten is reversed.

Four of Cups


May 22, 2015
Four of Cups

Stagnation and discontent in love matters could open the way for a rival and lead to separation and loss. Try to inject fresh life into your romance or risk losing it and only appreciating its value too late. No one likes being taken for granted or made to feel boring, and that applies to your partner as much as yourself.

Reversed Ace of Cups


May 21, 2015
Reversed Ace of Cups

Emotional upheaval, sterility, relationship break-up, the collapse of hopes, betrayal, and insecurity, especially in personal relationships. Summon your inner strengths.

Reversed Tower


May 20, 2015
Reversed Tower

The Tower of Stale, outmoded belief is toppled by the Dragon of repressed natural instincts. The falling figures represent the plunge into confusion that comes with the shattering of long-held convictions. They also reflect Adam and Eve, cast out of Eden into the mortal world, having for the first time to feed and clothe themselves, or children being cast out of the home.
Reversed, the shock is considerably lessened, but still demands great and flexible character and patience to understand. Be open to change and a re-evaluation of your ideals, but keep those roots firmly clinging to the remaining certainties of your life. Friends prove their worth in times like this, but beware of imposing too much on their patience.

Reversed Two of Wands


May 19, 2015
Reversed Two of Wands

A possible disappointment from someone you have trusted leads you to question your own judgement. This does no harm as long as it is not taken too far. Make sure that any partners, in business and in personal relationships, are pulling their weight.

Hierophant


May 18, 2015
Hierophant

The Hierophant represents a leader of established religion. He is the natural counterpart of The High Priestess, but he has formal and even political power that often blinds him to the spiritual values he guards. While often providing real community comfort to his followers, obsession with history and tradition often blinds him to new spiritual developments.
Providing comfort, security, the wisdom of the ages, and generosity in others' time of need are among the many virtues of the Hierophant that make him someone to turn to in troubled times. But inflexibility - a lack of openness to change - can often negate these virtues. Too great a reverence for the past can become hostility toward all change, and the Hierophant symbolizes an obstacle to growth. He can also indicate marriage or other lasting union.

Reversed Two of Pentacles


May 15, 2015
Reversed Two of Pentacles

Although there is a sense of unreality surrounding some current relationships, it is worth persevering – however, do watch out for ulterior motives in your partners. Get all agreements down in writing so there can be no arguments later.

Six of Swords


May 14, 2015
Six of Swords

The Six reveals unexpected developments, possibly a journey or business opportunity that will open the way to realizing your ambitions in a surprising way. Leap at the chance whatever the immediate obstacles; this is not the time for hesitation or counting pennies. In the long term it will feel worthwhile.

Reversed Eight of Wands


May 13, 2015
Reversed Eight of Wands

Disharmony, quarrels, and rivalry all threaten to disrupt your plans. Rushed commitments come back to haunt you, and impatience could lead you into other choices that you will equally regret. Be cautious, and wait for the conditions to change.

Reversed Death


May 12, 2015
Reversed Death

Few people relish the appearance of Death, but it is rarely a warning of physical death. This unlucky thirteenth card can represent calamity and endings, but mostly it signals fresh beginnings, for which something has to give way. The card signals the passage from one stage of life to another, which may involve sacrifice and pain, but there is no other way to renewal.
The reversed Death card is bad news, but rarely is its message catastrophic. It warns of of lethargy, inertia, and resistance to to change, leading to exhaustion and standstill. Clinging too much to the past can lead to an inability to adapt to changing conditions. Beware of becoming a caricature of your old self.

Devil


May 11, 2015
Devil

Like the Death and Hanged Man cards, to the uninitiated the Devil is far less ominous than he first appears. However, his arrival in a reading does warn of the very real danger of being lead astray by false lights, empty promises, or shallow pleasures. Enslavement of one sort or another is threatened by the Devil, who often comes in the most seductive guises, but you can choose how you respond to his advances.
Whether or not you are fully conscious of it, you or someone in close proximity are already bound to some self-destructive attachment that can only end in tears. It is time to listen to your own inner voice of wisdom and a way out will soon become clear. The misfortune threatened by this card is not a force of nature, but a consequence of choice.

Emperor


May 07, 2015
Emperor

Where the Emperor differs most from the Empress, his consort, is in the directness of his approach to problems. He rules by decree and command, quick and confident in his wisdom and sense of justice. He is ambitious and will stop at nothing to achieve his aims. This card represents will and authority.
The Emperor represents earthly power achieved through force of will, including war if necessary, though usually the card stands for stability, wealth, justice and the dominance of reason over emotion. It can represent an authority figure at work or in the family, or the attitude necessary to carry plans through to fruition. Sometimes it's necessary to put aside reflection and sympathy, and simply act.

Reversed King of Pentacles


May 06, 2015
Reversed King of Pentacles

This King is insensitive, greedy, calculating, devious, jealous, and aggressive - a dangerous enemy when in a position of authority, because he will use any means at all to get his own way.

Reversed Two of Cups


May 05, 2015
Reversed Two of Cups

Disappointment, quarrels, and misunderstandings threaten to end in the breakdown of partnerships in either love or work. Beware of rash decisions you will later regret. It's worth trying to work through the difficulties first.

Moon


May 04, 2015
Moon

The Moon of inspiration rises over the gateway to the unconscious while dragons serenade it and the crab or crayfish of Cancer hesitates, scared of leaving it's natural medium. This card suggests the need to shake off convention and follow your instincts and intuitions. Pay attention to your dreams, because they will be full of hints of how to address the major issue that has arisen, or is about to.
A choice needs to be made that could determine your happiness for a long time ahead. You need to be guided by intuition and feelings when making this choice, but at the same time there is a real danger of delusion, of being misled by wishful thinking, or by someone whose judgement you trust. Times like this are true tests of character and your grasp on reality.

Two of Wands


May 01, 2015
Two of Wands

A possible partnership offers a way of furthering your ambitions. Unnecessary self-doubt is blocking your way, however, so you need to be decisive and trust in your instincts. Or, if this is not possible, ally yourself to someone who has that confidence. The prospects are good – just have faith.
