3 Card Tarot Reading

The Seven of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Cups shows up when you least expect it.

Things are going fine in your life, you seem to be on the right path and then… BAM! Suddenly you are faced with a choice and that choice really does come out of the blue. The choice that you are faced with or will be soon is one that will throw you for a loop and one in which you will feel torn between two really good or possible really bad choices. It’s one of those choices where there doesn’t really seem to be a good choice, but you are faced with a fork in the road and you have to choose.

The test that you could be coming to could be a real test to your relationships or work. It can result from a mistake that is made but one that you don’t even think will be an issue until it is already made. It’s not something that you can be told, “Watch where you step.” The symbolism on the card also shows a man with many choices in front of him but you will notice that the cups that are representing the choices are floating amidst the clouds. The background color of teal is a representation of spirituality. This Seven of Cups will often represent being a dreamer or wishful thinking. Once you are faced with your decision you need to be careful that you are looking at the whole picture. Avoid building your plans on a poor foundation and make sure that you focus on the best aspects of your life.

That may sound a little vague; however, you have to realize that it can indicate many different avenues in your life. There are a lot of options ahead of you and you will find that you are not limited to one choice in one area. What is coming for you is going to be like multiple doorways and you need to take all aspects of your life into account.

The Seven of Cups in Love

Because of the options before you, in love this can be a great card or a highly confusing one. In a relationship it can indicate having a new choice come along and disrupting the flow of your current relationship. If you are looking for love it can indicate that options (usually highly unexpected ones) coming your way. It’s an overall positive card regarding increased chances, reconnecting with older interests, and new faces coming your way. Out of all the cups the seven is about dreaming of a romance. It can represent the fact that as an outcome this represents the next step in love. This can be a “wish card” but could mean you will get what you want but it is just an illusion.

The Seven of Cups in Health

The Seven of Cups can act as a warning that you need to be paying better attention to your health. With all that is going on in your life it is likely that you have overextended yourself or haven’t been paying attention to smaller health concerns that could turn out to be larger concerns if you continue to ignore them. Rest assured, typically it is not a dangerous card for health so long as the warning is not ignored. The Seven of Cups tells you that it is better safe than sort when it comes to health and wellness.

The Seven of Cups in Work and Wealth

When dealing with issues of work and finance with the Seven of Cups you can trust that there are a lot of good things ahead for you. Because the nature of your question is more grounded, the card usually has more positive meanings for you. With the card it indicates possibilities opening up for you that usually are in your best interest when it comes to finance. The one caveat is that you need to be mindful of where you place your trust right now.

The Seven of Cups In The Reversed Position

In the reversed position the Seven of Cups indicates the opposite of the upright meaning and can often lead a person feeling trapped or lacking options. There is a morose feeling associated to the reversed position of the Seven of Cups and when this card comes up in your reading you need to be highly mindful of the choices that you are making at this time. You want to be sure that you are taking all information into account in your life before deciding on which way to go. There is still a feel for a NEED for change, but in the reversed case there is not a clear avenue for that change to take place. Typically when the Seven of Cups comes up in the reversed position there will be excess worry or feelings of insecurity. Know that there is options present that you aren’t seeing. You may have to be creative in your solutions to find them. The seven of cups reversed in my view indicates that you are waking up from a situation. The card dictates that you or someone else will have clarity and in the past a "situation" has been hiding under illusions. Think of it like emerging from a clouded situation and now you can see the light.  This is a card of not knowing what to do in the past but now a decision can be made.

You have traveled the entire Suit of the Pentacles and have reached the place of pure mastery.

The King of Pentacles not only represents all that is abundant, but he controls the very idea of this part of life. He can create money and opportunity out of thin air; he needn’t convince himself or others that he is abundant. The universe knows of his power and bends to his will. He is a jolly man, funny, and welcoming. He is one who believes that everyone should be happy and abundant all of the time. When you have received the King of Pentacles in your reading you have a resourceful and dependable spirit. You are watchful with good instincts and you are a good leader. You tend to be ruled by the drive for stability and comfort, and this card is representative of a father and a provider kind of energy.

The image of the King of Pentacles as depicted by the Rider Waite deck shows the King holding a powerful scepter in one hand and in the other he holds his mighty pentacle, both symbolizing his Kingly powers. His robe has grapes emblazoned upon it as well as vines and he is surrounded by flowers, all of which are symbolic of his complete and utter oneness with the Earth and all Earthly energies.

You will have great success when the King of Pentacles blesses your reading because you have become a master of prosperity because you are determined to get far in your life. You have an undeniable desire to protect what is financially necessary. You are a friendly soul who is friendly as well as affectionate and can be of great help to others.

At this time in your life you are ready for love. You have spent a great amount of time perfecting the art of becoming secure emotionally as well as financially. You have what you need in life to be happy, but now you want to master the next element: that of long term relations with someone else. You no longer have the tolerance for the drama that a younger kind of love would offer, what you want is to be with someone more seasoned, who understands what life is really about. You want to be with someone who is able to love the great and simple pleasures of life. Lucky for you, the King of Pentacles is blessing the transit which you find yourself in. You will be successful in your endeavors. Have faith.

The King of Pentacles in Health

The King of Pentacles is a card of health and security; you are not going to need to be worried about bad health. If you have a concern that something is going wrong in your body, you will find at this time that it is a lot less stressful then you would originally think. If you are feeling an excess of disruption in your life then you will find the King of Pentacles will help you find the stability that you need to push through it. Look for messages from the Universe on dance classes you could take, or certain exercises you could do to re-strengthen your body.

The King of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

You are smart in financial matters because you have an eye for what is and isn’t working in the industry. The security of family is of the utmost importance, and now is a good time to be practical as well as generous. This King is a chief of industry, a banker. Usually this card is used to represent a stable married man or even a mathematician who is an amazing investor. Steady in temperament and not quick to anger.

Reversed King of Pentacles in a reading

When the King of Swords has appeared in your reading in the reversed position you must pay attention to the way that you feel when you reach a goal which eventually resulted in failure. There can be a lack of fulfillment or doubt. You feel that there is a psychic danger possible in your future, and you are worried about someone getting in the way of your success. Externally you appear to be successful and wealthy, but inside you are feeling afraid and frustrated. Keep your health in mind; make sure you are taking care of your immune system. Do not get stuck in a cycle of behaving like a hypochondriac. You have the full potential with the King of Pentacles to be as healthy and as abundant as you wish.

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

When the tower exploded in the previous card, something really cool happened: a star emerged from the sky  and started sending you REAL possibilities! 

Lucky you! If the Star card is coming up in your reading then you should feel just a little bit special. The universe shines it light on you through the Star card bringing forth peace, tranquility, and most of all hope. The Star card represents a true connection with the divine and that there are favorable energies guiding you at this time. You are on the right path. You are making the right decision. You must trust in yourself as you already have the answer that you seek.

The symbolism of the Star card tells a story of a woman (or goddess) renewing the land (the material world) and water (the emotional or spiritual world) by pouring from the two pitchers in her hands. The bird above her shoulder is Ibis, a favorable sign from the ancient Egyptians of the God Thoth and he knows a secret. Thoth is good at that. The whole world is still in the moment of twilight as the stars begin to shine. This is a time of wisdom and a time for listening.

Often this card comes up during a time of emotional turmoil where you don’t know which way is the right way for you and you feel overwhelmed or even afraid of making the wrong choice. It’s a card that begs the question: What does your heart tell you? If you listen to the truth within yourself, once you allow it to all be silenced, what answer resounds the most? It’s difficult, because the trick to the Star card is learning how to listen and for most of us, that is the hardest lesson of all. To get there you first have to understand that there is hope in your situation and all is not lost. The solution is not as far away as you think and you are not alone.

The Star in Love

If you are seeing this card there are likely deep questions within your relationship or towards love in general. Now is a time to follow your instinct regarding a partner for better or for worse. If you are questioning fidelity in a relationship, for example… understand this does not mean that just because you fear that they are cheating that it is true. Rather, again you have to remember to remove yourself from the situation. Your current relationship is not your past relationship and often you will find that when questioning that you are not putting true standards up to your current partner. Listen to your instincts, which does not mean listen to your fear. You may find that now is a good time to take a step back in the relationship and look at the positives and the negatives. Most of the time the Star is a good sign for a relationship that tells you that things in a rocky relationship can be mended if you open your heart and allow yourself to be a little more vulnerable.

In regards to being single and looking for love, the Star card is also a positive sign. It usually will reveal a long term relationship growing into more rather than meeting someone completely fresh and new. The Star offers a time to mend old relationships and you may be surprised to see someone from your past coming back into your life. On a more personal note, it can also tell you to take a look at your own emotions regarding love and take stock in areas where you have been hurt in the past. Now is a good time to be open to new beginnings and a reminder that with each new relationship comes new possibilities. It also carries a warning of comparing new relationships to past ones.

The Star As Feelings

The star is always bright and for me, this is the symbol of hope, always guiding towards whatever we strive for, letting us be open to receive positives from all over. The star appears when things are seemily black, there is still a glimmer of light guiding us forward. To those around us, the star represents what we want in life for and the impact we can make in this world - it's a symbol of external love that lies within each one of us. The star stands for: hope, love, strength, ambition and resilience. For feelings the star card reminds us that the person feels you might be “out of reach” that it might not be possible to fully be able to have the relationship that you deserve. That is not to say, it might not happen but from my interpretation of a feelings spread this could be something that is just a wish in the night’s sky.

The Star As Love Reconciliation

If you draw this for a love coming back it is positive. The star twinkles a little hope, encouraging love, and that this love will find their way back to you. When two people part ways again, they are filled with renewed faith that one day they will find a lasting reconciliation. The star has shown love can never truly die; it simply needs time and care to blossom once more.

The Star in Health

What else but good health would you expect from a card that offers hope and renewal? This is a very favorable omen when dealing with health concerns and says that there is a positive energy around you that will help keep you on the mend. It is also a card that reminds you that a healthy body comes from a healthy mind. You need to be sure that you are promoting positive thoughts about your health to keep healing or strengthening your body. When this card comes up it is a great time to think about making a positive change in your health as well – such as starting a new routine that focuses on wellness of both the mind and body such as yoga, tai chi, or eating healthier.

The Star in Work and Wealth

If you are having issues with money the Star card often comes up once everything has spun out of control. Financially it can talk about needing time to recover from a loss, to get unhealthy spending habits in check, and to focus your efforts on charity. The hope in this card clearly shows that there is a path to getting your financial troubles on track. If you are not having financial troubles when this card comes up (which is rare) the Star card acts as a warning card. Now is a good time to seek financial guidance before making a big purchase or taking out a loan. You need to be wary of doing business that requires heavy investments or risk.

On the work front the Star is a good omen that increased work is coming your way. Usually coming up when one feels stuck or in a dead end sort of position, it offers a preverbal light at the end of the tunnel. If you are currently employed do not be surprised if something new arises in small doses like an increase of responsibility or someone important taking an interest in your work. For the job seeker, you are more than likely feeling like your job search will never end. The Star card offers hope that things are going to be changing soon. It may be in your best interest to consult an agency or headhunter – seek assistance to get yourself on track.

The Star Advice/Action

The star in an advice or action position tells me one thing (what action you should take?) drawing this card means that things will get better soon, and that your hopes and dreams will help you to aim forward. There is a "deep guiding" intuition and the advice here is to “look inside” for answers. What is your inner voice telling you? This card also shows that things will be slow to come to life.

If you want to speed up the situation then you need to be positive, but accept that things will take time. The main point here is to “go with the flow” do not make things unnecessary and eventually things will happen. There is a danger to want to push a relationship so it is perfect, and trying to create an “ideal” relationship. Something that you have dreamed of all your life but you need to focus on the here and now. Be honest, pour love without any expectations just be who you are. Give yourself to others and do not withhold anything and shine like the star. 

The Star As Friendship Or Family

This star symbolizes friendship and family, as it radiates in  moments of joy. It may be found in a late night conversation or a shared memory from childhood - just when we need it most, the star is there to guide our path. Each moment, every true friendship brings us closer to unlocking all that life has to offer us, no matter how lonely or isolated we might feel; for when our stars align in friendship or family, a new world will open up before us.

The Star Rervesed Meaning

The star in reversed is a less than a positive card, but before you give up all hope understand that even negative cards or positions are without merit. The Star card emphasizes that based on your current path unwanted changes are coming in one or more areas of your life and that you either need to prepare yourself or take steps to correct the current path that you are on. You are likely to find that you are not adapting to change well, are overly sensitive to criticism, or on edge recently. It is time for you to look at the areas in which things are no longer working for you. Once you identify the things that are causing your unhappiness you need to take steps to remove them from your life. Usually it is time for you to make the needed changes by leaving an unhealthy relationship or workplace. The first step is often the hardest but most rewarding.

When the stars align and reverse themselves, it's like an unexpected opportunity to move forward. It can be a source of inspiration, and a cause to pull focus onto something positive. Instead of looking backwards and dwelling on the tower before, it can be a reminder that there's always something greater out there. Even in the darkest times, stars still seem to shine brightly and offer a voice of hope and courage. Though the stars may be reversed right now, they reveal paths to future realms that many never thought were possible before.

Love and Romance - The Star Reversed

Even when the star is reversed in love and romance, it can carry love; like a star of promises scattered in the night sky. When love is out of balance or stagnates, a reversal provides a unique opportunity. It can guide lovers in the right direction. I always feel when I see this in a reversed reading we are pulled towards that twist or turn in love which can provide insight into creative solutions and inner growth allowing our hearts to expand greater than ever before. This reversed star's beauty radiates throughout each situationship or difficult moment, a reminder that no matter what happens it means love will shine bright again.

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

When the Star reversed cards appears in a reading regarding your family or friends, it reminds us to tap into this source of love even during difficult times. Good family life often awaits when you draw this card for family and home. This is about the beauty of creation this is about seeing things that are amazing. This is about your own place. This card means you are special, and trust me you are special. Maybe you make different decisions from exhaustion than you would from stillness. Discover the difference before the difference finds you.

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

This is reversed so it looks awful, but I want you to know this is a "growing" time for money right now. If this card comes up reversed it means that things are not empty, but you have still got to work hard. Whether you believe in god or not, this is a chance to remember we are the same thing right now. This card is asking you why you stopped reaching for it. 

Health and Wellness - The Star Reversed

The Star Reversed is an invitation to visit your inner world, discovering what disrupts your peace and how you can meaningfully address it. Amid the joys of life, a wake-up call inviting us to open up to a healthier way of being is always welcomed. This is not just about eating right or finally hitting the gym - wellness goes beyond getting ourselves in physical shape. True health and wellness is an effort that touches our spirits and nurtures our minds. Taking moments for self-care and paying attention to our mental state are essential, journeying inward without judgement, kindness towards oneself being the core goal at hand.

Personal Spirituality - The Star Reversed

This reversed Star has caught you sitting here and not really focusing on YOU - wondering why it isn't enough. Because it isn't enough, it does not feel like enough. So what do you do with what you know? And who are you actually helping? Real spiritual work (the work that changes you) is taking what you know about yourself and walking it out into a world where it's uncomfortably necessary and needed most.

Over thousands of years people have looked at the night sky terrified and hopeful at the same time-and always ended up on hope. That is what the Star's about. Not a guarantee. Not a promise it will work out fine. Just this: There is light, it's real, and it has not gone out. Hold that. And then do something with it.
