Reversed Four of Pentacles

Obstacles on the material front are exacerbated, and possibly even created, by your eagerness for money. There is more to life than this - begin by taking pride in your work purely for its own sake, and you may just find that this helps toward attaining a decent reward for it.

Reversed Death

Feb 26, 2013

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.

Reversed Wheel of Fortune

Feb 25, 2013

Reversed Wheel of Fortune

The Wheel of Fortune represents the ever-turning balance of impersonal forces that shape our lives independently of all conscious aims and effort. There are times in life when everything goes right (or wrong) purely through seemingly chance events beyond our control. At such moments we are at the mercy of fortune, ruled by the cockatrice, or basilisk at the top whose sword ensures no one basks in glory or defeat too long.

Bad luck, obstruction, betrayal, and indifference all conspire to bring you to a standstill. This is a bad time for new undertakings and also for gambling. Concentrate on small, practical achievements that will bear fruit. Practice cheerfulness in the face of adversity. It will pass.

Two of Cups

Friendship and romance are in the air. New and profitable partnerships at work are also likely and could change the long-term direction of your life. The beginning of any relationship lays its foundations and shapes its development, so now is a time for putting aside all selfish and petty urges. Be your best self, and it will bring out the best in others.

Reversed Queen of Pentacles

Feb 23, 2013

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 Judgement

Feb 21, 2013

Reversed Judgement

The Angel Gabriel calls the world to Judgement and the birth of a new age. A line is drawn under the past and accounts are settled as the foundation for a fresh start in life. This could signal a promotion at work or branching out in a new direction. Either way, a fresh approach to life is needed, so now is the time to measure your strengths and address your weaknesses in preparation for the future.

A change for the worse: delay, loss,separation, and stagnation are all suggested by the reversed card. Fear of change only worsens the situation, because hesitation leads to loss of control over events. If you avoid making decisions, others will do it for you, to your loss.

Argument and strife threaten your plans. Be patient.

Queen of Swords

Feb 17, 2013

Queen of Swords

Mystical, proud, mysterious, and sad, the Queen of Swords is the guardian of the secret wisdom of age. She signals that it is time to trust your intuition and act decisively. Put aside all minor quarrels, because this is no time for pettiness. She is also queen of winter, night, and the moon. She is often linked with mourning, but bears herself with serenity, having transmuted sorrow into wisdom.

Reversed Emperor

Feb 16, 2013

Reversed 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.

Reversed, the Emperor card can represent either difficulty with an outside authority or possibly indicate one's own abuse of power. The reversed Emperor is a confused, immature bully. Look hard in the mirror before deciding to whom the card refers, because it it much easier to project these qualities onto others than to own up to them.

Reversed Ten of Pentacles

Feb 15, 2013

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.

Queen of Cups

Feb 14, 2013

Queen of Cups

Reversed Lovers

Feb 13, 2013

Reversed Lovers

The young couple joining hands within the dragon's embrace are entering the adventure of a shared life, buoyed by the optimism of youth and within the embrace of high wisdom. There may be troubles ahead, but for now the pair take simple joy in each other's company, confident that together they will be a match for anything that comes. The card suggests a happy union in either the private or work spheres.

Reversed, the card warns of heartache, disappointment, failure, and possible betrayal by a friend or lover. To cope you need to be cautious, consistent, and persevering, and plan wisely. Say what you mean and mean what you say, as this is no time for lazy assumptions or half-hearted commitments.

Reversed Hierophant

Feb 12, 2013

Reversed 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.

Reversed, the Hierophant becomes unconventional but also weak, gullible, and unreliable. In a spread, this card often indicates a need for unconventional solutions, but may warn of treachery from colleagues and superiors. Postpone long-term commitments until the situation clears.

Six of Cups

Six of Cups

Nostalgia is likely to affect you as you become aware of just how many current events have their roots way back in your distant past. This is healthy up to a point because you will soon face a major life choice, and drawing upon the lessons of the past can help ensure that you make the right decision in the near future. Also, seek the advice of old friends.

Five of Swords

The conditions will pass, and you can still achieve your goals if you learn the lessons of the current setback and apply them next time around.

King of Swords

Feb 09, 2013

King of Swords

In astrology the character of Saturn in his benign aspect closely resembles that of the King of Swords. He represents power, authority, and the law, splitting complex arguments with the edge of his sword. His judgments can at times seem lacking in tolerance of human frailty, but are never unfair. This card usually represents an authority figure that the querent can look to for justice.

Reversed Six of Swords

Feb 08, 2013

He is energetic, loyal, idealistic, resourceful, and honest, the best kind of friend one could hope for.

Success and recognition are yours for the taking.

Meanwhile, simply enjoy exercising your talents and have faith that others will equally enjoy what you do.

Reversed Empress

Feb 02, 2013

Reversed Empress

As the High Priestess stands at the gate of the Otherworld, the Empress guards this one. She represents the middle aspect of the the triple goddess who as Venus seduces man with her delicate charms, as Gaia or Demeter tends the garden of this world in which children grow to maturity, and as Isis ushers them into the next. The Empress is the ideal, selfless mother.

In her negative aspect the Empress can be vacillating, domineering, over-possessive, devious, vindictive, and jealous. This is the card of partnerships that have turned sour, either in family or work, and little good will come of it until the relationship is either brought back into balance, or ended.

Ten of Swords

Feb 01, 2013

Ten of Swords

Traditionally this is the unluckiest card in the Tarot deck, being the ruling number of the unluckiest suit. As such it signals calamity on almost any front - health, finances, or romance - but it can also mean the ending of pointless commitments and the beginning of a fresh and wonderful stage of your life.
