Tarot Cards Reading - Example
This is one example of the classic reading Tarot card and Tarot meanings. Card one represents the present and card two, the immediate challenge you face. Here sit a cups/pentacles pair, representing the need to be realistic, rather than fantasizing over the future.The Tarot meanings of card three, the Three of Swords, indicates the root of the question, its foundation in the past, the heartbreak and the loneliness of separation, whereas card four represents the more recent past and its events. These may not be directly related to the question. In this Tarot card reading sits a Queen of Cups, which reinforces the idea that desire from the past is driving this person into the current situation.
Card five in a Tarot card reading, is directly related to the question and shows the best that can be achieved. Sometimes this does not gel with card ten and a negative card here usually means you should cut your losses rather than put in extra effort. However in this instance the Tarot meanings for The Six of Wands and the reinforcement of the Magician as Card 10 could not be more positive, and show obstacles can be overcome and the person will emerge triumphant. As the magician is the only Major Arcana card in this Tarot card reading, it indicates an extra powerful aspect, and once this person accepts his losses, he will meet with great success.
The Tarot meanings of card six indicate what will happen in the very near future, days or weeks, but never months. Here the Eight of Swords suggest times of powerlessness and confusion lie ahead, as this person tries to balance his inconsistent feelings. Another Tarot meaning here is that outside forces may, for the short term, restrict his search.
Card seven in a Tarot cards reading concerns inner feelings and factors affecting the situation. If there is conflict between this and card one, it indicates where you are going wrong. Card eight represents the external influences, events, energies and people that affect the outcome of the question. Things you have no control over.
In this Tarot cards reading another important pair shows in these positions, The King of Swords and The Knight of Pentacles. The Tarot meanings indicate this person is right to learn about his past. The Knight of Pentacles also seems to be saying that people see this person as too driven and serious. This, others do not appreciate and this person needs to temper his inflexible approach. The King of Swords suggests this person sees himself as an agent of justice and honesty. The Tarot meanings of this card also indicate intellect, analytical ability and writing skills.
Card nine in a Tarot card reading represents hopes and fears around the situations in this case; The Five of Cups represents his loss in the past and fear of loss in the future. Card ten is the final outcome, which I mentioned earlier. However you may decide to draw three extra cards if the card here is somewhat ambiguous.
