Wands are the representation of fire energy in the Rider-Waite tarot deck. The Ace is the core or primal representation of that energy. If you are seeing the Ace of Wands in your reading then there is a good chance that you are experiencing a lot of momentum, passion, and power around one or all aspects of your life at this time. The Ace card brings positive energies with it including exuberance, energy, and motivation to get started on a project. Basically, it represents the seed of the fiery, passionate, energies in your life. These energies are typically favorable ones but unharnessed can be a bit much to handle.

The balancing act of the tarot and the story that it tells is no more apparent than with the Nine of Cups. It truly is one of the most positive cards in the deck and a welcome addition to any reading. When you see this card in your reading you can be glad that good things are coming your way. The yellow background in the background of the Nine of Cups indicates happiness and emotional security.

The Moon is a very emotional and intuitive card. It calls to light your deepest and darkest desires. When the Moon is present it is a time to be aware of how your physical health is being affected by your mental health. It can also represent being very aware to almost a hyper vigilant state, being over sensitive, and madness. Remember that fits of madness also often lend themselves to time of genius inspiration and if you are feeling exceptionally out of sorts that all of your pent up energy can be used for the greater good of your life.

The Six of Cups is a pleasant little card that can indicate that there are a lot of positive energies surrounding you at this time… so long as they are balanced. Right now your main focus needs to be on the simple approaches and avoid making anything too complicated or overly ornate so that you don’t miss your goal or deadline. This card represents nostalgia and ideal times of your life.

In the Rider Waite Tarot, the Pages are known for young people. Sometimes they are called the Princes or Princesses of the Deck, primarily because they are referring to those people or experiences that are brand new and usually lacking in the sometimes frustrating world experience that can inhibit one’s ability to be creative individuals. This card is symbolic of the fluctuating energies that flow through all of us, but especially when we are young. The age of this card, doesn’t so much refer to the physical age of a human being.

You are a dedicated, motivated, emotional, tender, sensitive and loving person. The Knight of Cups is symbolic of a younger kind of love, but one that is greatly enhanced by the ability to take action. The Knight is innocent but is maturing, a student of life, he sacrifices for others in his path for wisdom. This is very much the same for you.

The Wheel of Fortune card is one of the most symbolic cards in the deck because it integrates Egyptian, Greek, Hebrew, zodiacal, animalistic, and color symbolism all in one card. This symbolism is true for just about every deck, however the Rider Waite deck differs in it’s inclusion of the YHVH symbols in Hebrew, which is the unpronounceable name of God. It also includes red as a standard power color showing that the universe has the power to grant your wish.

The Sun is the most positive oracle in the deck. In the Rider Waite deck the symbolism of the card is easily interpreted as the sun shines over a new baby and aptly named “sun”flowers in the background. The infant, along with the flowers growing, indicates new life and in readings and often represents a new direction. Children being born, questions of prosperity are answered, abundance of wealth, and recovery from illness are all implied by this card. As the infant rides atop the white stallion, he carries a red banner. The deck is famous for using color as symbolism and red often symbolizes power, momentum, and triumph. This card represents the universe coming together and agreeing with your path and aiding forward movement into something greater.

When you have received the Queen of Swords in your reading, you are seen as an assertive perfectionist who is also hyper protective and ambitious. You have ideas that are ruled by the drive of the heart which is what makes you so uniquely you, and someone that others enjoy being around and depending on. You have ideas that are ruled by the drive of the heart which is what makes you so uniquely you, and someone that others enjoy being around and depending on. You are highly informed and an excellent communicator.

The Suit of Swords, as in all suits, is a story of progression. There are different levels of growth, opportunities for change that are presented to get you through the story from the beginning, middle and then to the end. Whatever the case may be, you are experiencing a really challenging cycle where you feel as though you have been utterly destroyed. This card is symbolic of despair, of lack, a metaphorical death of an aspect of your life.
