The Two Of Swords Tarot Card Meaning

The Two of Swords is a card that affects most people now and again in their lives and when the time comes it is never a comfortable position to be in.

Nevertheless, sometimes the cycles of stasis inevitably become the reasons that we push ourselves so hard to progress. In this, though the season you are in is difficult, there is an added perspective of necessity in it as well. The Two of Swords is the card of being stuck in the middle and being afraid to move.

There are in fact so many options at your disposal at this moment that you fear making a move in case it is the wrong move, therefore, your hands are tied and you are stuck. Understandably this is not a position in which you would prefer to stay, so you desire with great strength to push out of it, but you don’t know where to start. You desire to have a new approach to life, but your emotions play a large role in your current circumstances and that is making it difficult for you to decide what you should do. You want to be the peacemaker, but you tend to do so at the expense of your own voice or opinions, thereby devaluing yourself. Your need for stability is now in conflict with your need to create change, thus creating the stalemate in that you find yourself in.

The image on the card in the Rider Waite Deck depicts a woman who is balancing two swords on her shoulders, representing the sharp edges she has placed herself against due to indecision. She is blindfolded representing the overall blindness to her life, and the situations that she has gotten herself into. Behind her are rocks in the sea, representing the ease of trapping those who are not allowed room for flexibility in their lives. The New Moon also shines down upon her which shows the tension in relationships, both friendship and other. She has a well-developed sense of balance, but her particular rhythm and ability to hone in on that have been compromised.

At this point in time, the Two of Swords is telling you that there is no confusion present, none that you are not already aware of. You are currently choosing to keep your eyes closed to possibilities so that you do not have to make a difficult choice. Sometimes these choices can come in the form of having to choose between friends, or getting involved in overly dramatic situations. Sometimes you are being asked a direct question and for the purpose of not hurting the person that you are involved with you are just choosing to refrain from a response, which is putting you AND your loved one in a frustrating position. In the attempts that you have made to save yourself from having to be hurt as a result of making a choice you have begun to close off your heart and this is producing deep levels of unhappiness.All of your actions at this time are being influenced not by your meditative and calm self, but by erratic and conflicted emotions, which is never a good position to be in for any long period of time.

Now is the time for you to consider a solution, there is an action that must be taken. You must give in and have faith in your intuition and in a connection with a higher source of energy to get you through this time. When you do this, you are allowing for your inner peace to be restored which will breathe life back into your veins. Consider the fact that you are unable to see your options, so your personal perspective may be skewed. Therefore in addition to focusing on communicating with your higher self, you must also seek help from others who are capable of assisting you objectively. If you do not know someone like this in your personal life, then a professional influence would be equally, if not more so, beneficial. The key is to gather information from varying perspectives so that you can weigh out the pros and the cons of your decision pragmatically. By listening to your emotions, you will know when the time has come to act. In so doing, you will find recognition in your path as well as the success of getting out of the pit of non-movement. While you process this card, consider what it is that you are avoiding, who are you having a hard time reconciling with and what decisions would you prefer to not know about or make?

The Two of Swords in Love

When the Two of Swords presents itself in your reading regarding love and relationships then you will need to make a decision. Right now you have put yourself in the position of consistent indecision which is tampering with your perspective. If you are single then in love this means that you are either avoiding pursuing something for fear of being shot down, or you are pursuing more than one person at a time and you are not appropriately giving your full attention to any one person. You need to choose. You cannot keep going this way. If you are in a relationship that is having problems, then the Two of Swords is showing you that now is the time for you to call those problems out and find actual solutions. The lack of momentum being built between you and your partner is harmful. Seek counseling if you cannot decide what to do on your own.

The Two of Swords in Health

The Two of Swords in Health represents a level of being split in half on how to appropriately care for yourself and others. There is a division in attention span; you are sacrificing too much to give to others who are ill, thereby creating the possibility of making yourself ill. You must find the balance between the two, and even if it is painful sometimes, you need to create time for yourself to process everything that has gone on. You do not want to create a level of sickness for yourself just so that you can get a break. That is not healthy.

The Two of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Two of Swords in Work and Wealth exemplifies the concept of being torn in two directions. What a situation the lady in the picture has found herself in! This is not a great place for anyone to be, especially in a work situation. It is as if she is defending herself, feeling isolated and blinded to the truth. I do like to think that the blindfold is more about meditating of the next move. If her arms move even for a moment she might fall over into the sea behind her. The problem with this card in a career context is that sudden moves may indicate that a person is trying to protect themselves. Either you or someone you work with is “between a rock and a hard place” there is not answer, but this person has two choices to make. In both choices, quiet contemplation is required and a difficult decision is required to move on. As her arms are crossed over the heart chakra it can symbolize a decision with the head rather than the heart. Currently, there is a possibility for you to work in two entirely different venues. You see for yourself a desire to move onto something that is more creatively stimulating, where you might be able to potentially help more people, but you are afraid of making the leap. Consider your options at this time. If making the leap is not safe, financially, then begin taking the steps toward making yourself financially ready for such an experience and that will get the ball rolling for you.

The Two Of Swords in Yes Or No Readings

It feels great to shift your gear away from reality when you draw the two of swords in a yes or no reading. It's telling you that it is a matter of personal preference whether to use two swords. A single sword is sufficient for some people, but others prefer the flexibility and versatility of two swords. Individual comfort level, experience, and skill are all important factors. Before deciding which way to go, it's important to practice both styles and determine which style suits your needs better. In the end, only you can decide whether two swords are right for you. In Yes Or No readings the card tells you the answer is “yes.”
 
The swords you use should be of good quality and well-maintained, no matter what route you choose. When blades are poorly made or poorly maintained, they will not perform or perform as well as those that are correctly made and properly maintained. For the best experience, make sure you understand how to use two swords simultaneously.
 
The decision to use two swords ultimately rests with you. The use of two swords for self-defense and target practice can be excellent with proper practice and maintenance. Practice with different styles and consider your individual needs before deciding.

 

Two of swords in the advice position of a spread

Two of swords in an advisory position suggests that you need to review a situation in it’s full. The blindfold that is worn on the picture of this card suggests that things are hidden. Things are hidden from your view and the advice is that you need to look past everything. In the advice position, the two of swords can also suggest that you are not letting anyone understand you right now. As the two swords are both heavy and the women holds these swords across her body it represents the “control” of emotions. The two of swords also represents being “closed off” in life and the choppy water behind her is a representation of the emotions that you feel.

This card often appears when one feels they are “walking on eggshells” this maybe a situation or a relationship that you are not sure will yield many problems. The advice here is to try to understand others better. The key phase in this tarot card is seeking your own inner direction and guidance in life. Try to remove your blindfold through meditation. Can you see all your options? For an advice position the two of swords can also suggest that one wants to see what is in front of them but they are blinded. You can only sit in a position for a limited amount of time (before the swords become too heavy) and you need to keep protecting what you have achieved. You need balance and insight to truly understand a problem in life.

The Hierophant

 
 
 

The Hierophant Tarot Card Meaning

The Hierophant expresses that life is your teacher, providing you with lessons to learn for growth opportunities and the understanding that conflicting issues exist for the purpose of bringing new growth into your life. When you start to feel pressed down by the ‘shoulds’ in life, remember to listen to that higher source energy, or teacher that will show you the way. The Hierophant provides a way to gather conscious thoughts into your minds that are fed into the subconscious which assimilates and then provides you flashes of intuition. This intuition actually stretches forth from our human desire to participate in religious beliefs, which require that overarching hierarchy.

Making a wish for another person puts divine power into action. This is why prayer is so important in most religions. The act of being compassionate, of giving over your faith to a higher power to help those we love or those we don’t know provides a reverence and humbleness that is important to improve one’s character. The Hierophant’s message is for you to take your concern to God and to pray, and to allow the stillness and peace of your prayers to bring calmness to your heart and intuition to your mind. The triple cross designs on the robes of the Hierophant represent spiritual respiration. The love of nature, love of God and the love of one’s neighbors are a part of the hierarchies housed within higher source energy. Reflecting on new interests, decisions, excitement and provide a development of self. Share wisdom with others – you are a teacher.

The Hierophant in Love

The Hierophant teaches a different kind of love in reference to relationships. This is a reverent love, almost sacred. That of doing “unto others what you would have them do unto you.” This is the love of charity, of helping your fellow man. If you have received this card for a love reading then there is something that you need to learn from giving up some of your time and energy to a charity. This could also apply to friend relationships that are close enough in spirituality that you would almost call them your sister or brother. This card will usually come up when it is time for you to focus on helping one another. There is a lack of a sense of self and an emphasis on charity. When you give of yourself in this way you are creating a cycle of love that is going to be gifted back to you, because what you say is true to the Universe is true. And if you love enough to give love, then you will receive more in return. To get this card for a "love outcome" can indicate that things are supposed to be the way they are. It can mean that nothing seems to happen. It can mean that he or she sees you as the type of “marriage” person or that the other partner is married. 

The Hierophant As Feelings

If you asked about someone’s feelings the Hierophant tarot card can mean that they are "deep" and "traditional feelings" of love. It can mean that the other partner wants you to follow the rules of love and possibly they have conservative beliefs. This means there will be a traditional approach to a relationship and it can mean that they think you are the “one.” It can also mean that this person is thinking that the other is more than just a fun time!

When the Hierophant appears for feelings --- it may suggest that this person is looking for a deeper level of understanding and connection with you. It may be an indication that they are looking beyond the physical realm and exploring emotional and spiritual depths to this connection. This card can also encourage us to create a strong foundation based on shared values and beliefs, while still having enough room to grow as individuals and as a couple.

The Hierophant can also suggest that this person is letting go of any rigid beliefs or expectations, and instead focus on opening up the heart to unconditional love. It might be an invitation to trust in the power of cosmic love and its ability to heal from past toxic relationships. Pulling this card as feelings encourages us to vibrate at higher frequencies of understanding and compassion with others, and to recognize the beauty in all forms of relationship. Ultimately, when the Hierophant appears in a tarot reading, it is a reminder to embrace love in all its myriad forms, and to trust that deeper wisdom lies within us all. By paying attention to the feelings that someone has when pulling this card, we can open our hearts to a greater sense of understanding and marriage. With the Hierophant’s guidance, we can embark on a journey discovering the depths of our own spiritual truths, guided by its deep wisdom and cosmic light. 

The Hierophant As Love Reconciliation

When the Hierophant appears in a tarot spread for love reconciliation, it often suggests that old systems are coming into play, I always see this card as the “I will marry you” tarot card. To fully reconcile with a loved one, it may be necessary to “let go of old ways of thinking”, and I also feel embrace those new possibilities. The word 'Hierophant' itself is derived from the Greek words for 'sacred bearer of knowledge', suggesting inner wisdom has a strong role in this process. The tarot card also brings ideas about how we navigate relationships: if you look at the sphere he is holding up on my tarot card it speaks to us of holding onto what is golden in life - not just material possessions, but valuable beliefs that are timeless. Essentially, if the Hierophant shows up in a tarot reading for love reconciliation, it indicates the need to rise above our individual materialistic aspirations and seek out deeper meaning in life, it also shows that love is likely to reconcile and end up in possibly marriage. 

The Hierophant In Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

In careers, the Hierophant indicates a mentor or someone that is able to provide “inside” information in a company. This card can imply that you are networking or that you will soon meet someone that can guide you through the tradition of a company. As an outcome position, the Hierophant indicates a position of authority in an organization will help you. In some cases, this card could represent a company as a whole but more likely a particular male in a father, priest or mentor capacity. The Hierophant in a business venture states clearly that your focus needs to be on spiritual endeavors instead of monetary ones. If you find that work and the acquisition of wealth are not working out the way that you would prefer, then the Hierophant says to take a break out of your normal routine and examine what necessities you have and need, and which are luxuries that are actually weighing you down. Consider giving up something of yours to help someone else, or just get rid of negative emotions around work - to lighten your personal load. But, overall I will say that this card is all about being guided by a male figure.

In finances, the card indicates the need for guidance in a similar way as with health. Often it is a note that you need to contact some sort of financial advisor. In readings, it can indicate debt reduction skills are needed or even issues concerning the court systems. It is less about paying solicitor fees and more about having to give money to government or charity. As a note: The Hierophant card can indicate tax issues as well as a contract of employment.

In business, readings drawing this card can mean a trade or business that indicates traditional techniques will win over clients. The Hierophant is a “mentor” is traditional and old school. In business, this could represent you. Skilled in your trade and across the next few years you will learn to allot. The Hierophant is a father/minister or a work mentor. This card is also about rules and obeying them. Maybe you have broken the rules in business in the past and this is saying that you need to act more in line with tradition. As he holds the key, this implies that “tradition” will enable success. Additionally, he is quite rigid in his approach and can come across as being pragmatic. Additionally, in the readings I have carried out for people in business - I see this card as “big business” it normally represents a corporation. This card can mean that you may achieve great things.

The Hierophant For Action/Advice

Generally, if you pull this card for advice means that tradition and blessings will be yours. There is a focus on being taught and teaching. What do you need to learn? There is also personal power and the need to figure things out yourself. There is also a focus on marriage and meeting people. In advice position for love, the hierophant means that you need to stick to tradition and high standards. Be ladylike is your advice or a gentleman.

Try to be old fashioned, do the honorable thing like you would with traditional dating. This card is also connected to finding someone you can have a laugh with and stimulate each other and develop a spiritual connection. It can signify a man that is traditional and has a slow pace at getting things done. 

The Hierophant Yes Or No

The Hierophant is known as a “yes” card when upright, for he is the spiritual pope of tarot, blessing the seeker's journey with sound and wise advice. He represents not only two worlds, but three -- a spiritual realm, material realm, and psychic realm -- the Hierophant stands poised between them all. Often taking on the form of a figure with hands raised to express an act of benediction. This card can bring up questions in tarot readings regarding our connection to organized faith, morality and hidden secrets within shifting social structures. By revealing both answers offered by their benevolent guidance and hidden mysteries of the heart -- the Hierophant brings forth insight into what “yes or no” decision best serves us.

The Hierophant in Health

Emotional issues come into the spread when the Hierophant is present. Many who experience some level of religious or spiritual restriction in one way or another are suffering some kind of energy block within their body. Consider the help that can come from giving of your time, experiencing the perspective of understanding that there are others in this world that have it worse than you do so that you can be grateful for what you do have. This will greatly improve your health. Often the Hierophant is a card about seeking help as well. Usually, this card will come up when dealing with intense emotion and can signify the need for counseling or guidance. If you are going through an exceptionally difficult time in your life it is okay to ask others around you for assistance or find ways to learn new coping skills so that you can grow and move forward.

The Hierophant As A person

As a person, we often seek out a Hierophant like one seeks solace; we find in them the amortization of pain, or joy and life-changing glory. We come to them because of an ego-driven hunger to switch our lives - to be breath away from a social stranglehold. We find them as a glimpse into a different future - where love, hope and knowledge are met with an open heart. If your lover sees you as the Hierophant then they walk away from every encounter as a changed being, grateful for the wisdom you have brought to them. 


The Hierophant In the Past Position

The Hierophant drawn in the past position speaks of repeating patterns and traditions. This allows us to connect to an established, internal compass; like a living portal that navigates through the seas of knowledge. The Hierophant reminds us to celebrate our culture and heritage, for it is through this that we are able to coexist with each other and make meaningful connections. Allowing us to continue repeating patterns from one generation to the next — this creates a sense of comfort and community, allowing us to focus on life's greater meaning. When drawn in the past, the Hierophant can indicate structures have been built and created in order to fully move forward.

The Hierophant In The Present Position

In our modern “Google” age, the Hierophant appears in the present position as a giant reminder of our giant stupid egos and the horribleness that can come with it. When this card appears we may be struggling to overcome terrible impulses brought about by psycho-chick love or other difficult emotions, but we must always remember that the Hierophant is pointing us back to where we should strive for; true understanding and higher understanding that will illuminate those dark times. With patience and determination, we can all make the most of this new life-affirming chapter in our lives.

The Hierophant In The Future Position

An air of haphazard yet purposeful effuses from the Hierophant in the Future Position. One feels as if one must marry it for life and prepare for its whimsicality, high maintenance, and fluctuating schedules. In a tumultuous world, this tarot card serves as an anchor of hope and guidance - always inspiring you to reach the stars. Embracing such an unpredictable companion for life is no wonder many have accepted it! The Hierophant is a powerful card for the future, and he brings people back together who have been estranged. He can also indicate new beginnings in relationships. When the Hierophant appears in your outcome position it is a reminder to stay true to yourself and your beliefs. Have faith in yourself and trust that you are on the right path, it can also predict a marriage or “togetherness” in the future.

The Hierophant As Friendship Or Family

The Hierophant is a tarot card in a spread about family or friends shows the importance of social conformity and traditional values. It can be read as a sign of struggling to conform, often ignoring the torturous successes along the way. Yet the parallels between friendship and family, where values are shared and cherished, and bonds are forged through trust and understanding, are rarely recognized. According to the Hierophant, there are strong bonds between individuals when he appears --- that enable us to grow together in peace and love, and offer us comfort through life's tribulations.

 

The Hierophant Tarot Card

 

Reversed Meaning - The Hierophant

When the Hierophant appears in a reading in the reversed position, you will have exactly the opposite experience. Instead of feeling compelled to follow a religious and spiritual order that is structured, you will feel more open or carefree. You will not feel weighted down by your earthly possessions because they do not own you. One caution to be aware of for the Hierophant reversed position is that you do not become overly superstitious, so much that it gets in the way of leading a happy and healthy life. The Hierophant in the reversed position can also signify being out of balance. Be careful of manic or overspending episodes, being too blunt or honest, or extending your opinion in areas where it is not wanted.

The Hierophant I always feel reminds us to take a step back from the status quo, to break away from traditional or restrictive teachings. At the same time, this position can represent the need for new knowledge and the freedom to explore such realms with an open mind. It implies an understanding of one's quest for personal growth and a desire to seek out whatever wisdom is needed in order to meet life’s challenges in ever-evolving ways. Reversed, the hierophant speaks of a rebelling against rigid Enlightenment thought, embracing instead a journey without walls or boundaries - one marked by curiosity, creativity and mindfulness that leads to higher truths.

Love and Romance - Hierophant Reversed

If the Hierophant is reversed, love and romance can mean all rules have been broken and barriers have been smashed. In this case, there is an openness for lovers to explore their passions freely, with no restrictions or judgements from outside sources. This may be a time of transformation, when we allow ourselves to break free from our preconceived notions of love and instead create something beautiful and unique out of our relationship. We are encouraged to open our hearts, take risks and express our deepest desires without fear, so that we can build something extraordinary together. Despite any challenges that come with this liberating experience, the rewards are plentiful for those brave enough to journey down this road to joy and liberation.

Family and Home - Hierophant Reversed

By pulling the reversed Hierophant, family and home have been given a challenging twist. We must remember to be flexible and open-minded in our understanding of how our “family and home life” manifest themselves. It may be through a traditional nuclear family, it may be through a chosen set of friends, or it may even be through a rotating group of strangers that we draw support from. Home could even be a metaphysical space that traverses the landscape or is accessed only within the recesses of the soul. This card is telling you to redefine your ideas about the concept of home and interweave new definitions of family into our tales - for perhaps then we can truly call them our own.

Work and Finances - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed for a work reading indicates that there is a need to make changes in the way we think about work and finances. Rather than relying on outdated systems, he encourages you to take creative steps forward and establish a new path that takes into account our individual needs. As a result, we have the freedom to express ourselves at work without being constrained by rigid rules or regulations. Reevaluating our economic structure to make sure it works for everyone involved, instead of supporting only a small part of society, is also suggested by the Hierophant Reversed. Using boldness, resilience, and ingenuity, we can turn financial struggles into abundance, allowing YOU to live more abundantly without feeling guilty.

Health and Wellness - Hierophant Reversed

The Hierophant Reversed, for health indicates energy and many possibilities. This card is about getting more fit and healthy and being worried about the traditional things when reversed. Instead of focusing purely on restrictions, it is a card that encourages exploring new paths that mean better health and balance. Reframing how you view self-care practices will help you get a better relationship towards food and self-care practices.

Personal Spirituality - Hierophant Reversed

An apology may feel necessary when personal spirituality is reversed - don't apologize! Embrace being in this sacred yet imperfect space. Don't let overbearing teachings or ideals overrun your inner haven; rather, rely upon the power held in veracity and the deeper sense of self that can be found within. Don't forget the freedom you have to create your own treasure chest of understanding and gifts. Each teaching has something special to offer and empower from - make sure it's one that feels true and brings light to your spiritual journey!

In summary, the Hierophant tarot card shows on my card a powerful figure who represents religious authority and knowledge. His guidance and insight are valuable, but he should also be respected and heeded. In a reading, his presence suggests that it may be time to seek out wisdom from a teacher or mentor. I always believe that in times of difficulty or crisis this card shows that we should trust our intuition and let the Hierophant guide you on your path.

The Ten of Pentacles

 
 
 

The Ten of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Ten of Pentacles is a card that shows a happiness that is a long time coming.

Often it will refer to retirement, planning for the future, or even lasting love. It can show immediate situations turning out well, but usually it focuses on what is in store for the long run. It can be a very difficult card in a reading because often when readings are done people are asking about current situations in love, work, health, or finances. The card itself though indicates that in the end, all will be well. You may not be in the best place currently. Your current relationship isn’t definitely going to be perfect. You may go through three or four more jobs until you find the right one for you. We know it sounds daunting, however keep in mind that currently… you, where you are now… you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. You are making choices that are good for you at this time that are getting you to a better road.

If you want to know more, say about specific “now” questions, then you definitely need to take the other cards into account in your reading. If you are asking about love for example, this card combined with another strong card about your current partner can show that there is a definite possibility for a future regarding love. Then again, if you are asking about when your finances will get better and you see the Ace of Coins reversed and other negative money cards then it can tell you that while you may not be winning the lotto any time soon, the choices that you are making for finances right now are ones that are going to pan out for you in the end.

The Ten of Pentacles is one of the more complicated cards in the deck because it requires that you have faith in yourself even if the outcome in the reading at the current problem is showing significant hurdles that you are going to have to overcome. You are responsible for you and your actions built upon future actions and lead to new choices for you on your path. The Ten of Pentacles card itself is indicative of a good outcome, but you must follow the rules. This is true of all tarot cards. If a card tells you that you are going to have a baby because you are working on having one presently but then a month later change your mind and thus your path and take a drastic step to prevent pregnancy, then that decision is on you. You can’t blame the cards and say it didn’t happen like it said it would.

With the Ten of Pentacles you need to work through any current issues that you have and realize that even through tough times, allows for the completion of a cycle and for a new one to begin. Life is constantly changing and be ready for the obstacles AND the celebrations ahead for you. You are building your future now, how it turns out is up to you. At least the Ten of Pentacles shows that someone up there is watching out for you and the Universe is rooting for you all the way! Go you!

The Ten of Pentacles in Love

It’s a 50/50 tossup when it comes to love and the Ten of Pentacles is present. As stated, the card needs to be read with the other conjoining cards to give you a clear answer on whether or not you are with your one true love or if your ex is going to be miserable without you. Without looking at anything else though, the Ten of Pentacles does indicate that you are on a path of growth and exploration in love and it is definitely possible that bad or good, that you at least DO have someone out there that is for you.

The Ten of Pentacles in Health

The Ten of Pentacles focuses on the future and in this regard, it’s a good sign for health. Since the card fixates on the long term, later in life, and the proverbial ‘golden years’ it’s a good sign that you are going to be around to see them. Often the card is read to represent those years later in life surrounded by grandchildren, in a home that you have built over time, and focusing on the wealth that you have accumulated in your world over time. With all of this in mind, it’s a good sign for vitality and strength. Even if you are sick now or worried about someone who is it’s a great card for healing. Now is the time to take a step back in your own life and ensure that you are doing all you can to remain on this path. You seem to be in a good place now and even health issues current are likely to heal. You want to pay special attention to the areas in your life where your health goals are not being met and what you can do to supplement them.

The Ten of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

When you see the Ten of Pentacles in work or financial readings it’s a sign that you need to stop your spending and you need to turn your mindset to savings. Planning is a key element to the later years and it may even be a good time to think about your retirement – 401K, lifelong purchases, or security that will last you during hard times. A good omen of the Ten of Pentacles is that overall it is a card of abundance. It states that you have the tools to create wealth in your life, but you have to understand their worth and how to use them. Consider ways in which you are able to save, able to provide sustained security, and how you can grow what you have now rather than seeking on what you can get in the future. There literally is no time like the present!

When the Ten of Pentacles is reversed it takes the focus from the long term to the now. Often a card of careful planning when it is flipped over it indicates rash behaviors, desperate times, and taking risks that you cannot afford. You may be feeling like you have nothing to lose right now (or in the recent past) and careless decisions will only cause you to go further down the rabbit hole. You need to stop and carefully assess your situation. Even if you feel that you are alright currently financially and everything is fine the reversed position states clearly that you are not prepared for the future. Concentrate your efforts on stability and longevity and avoid taking needless risks in love or money at this time. It’s an excellent time to get back to the basics and center your focus back to your base needs before branching out and exploring options.

The Fool Reversed

Reversed Ten of Pentacles in a reading

When the Ten of Pentacles is reversed it takes the focus from the long term to the now. Often a card of careful planning when it is flipped over it indicates rash behaviors, desperate times, and taking risks that you cannot afford. You may be feeling like you have nothing to lose right now (or in the recent past) and careless decisions will only cause you to go further down the rabbit hole. You need to stop and carefully assess your situation. Even if you feel that you are alright currently financially and everything is fine the reversed position states clearly that you are not prepared for the future. Concentrate your efforts on stability and longevity and avoid taking needless risks in love or money at this time. It’s an excellent time to get back to the basics and center your focus back to your base needs before branching out and exploring options.
