3 Card Tarot Reading

The Five Of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

The Five of Pentacles can be a very worrisome card when appearing in a reading as it shows that there is a loss, usually in financial matters.

The card reflects a loss of financial footing and often will appear at a time of dire need regarding stability in your life. When you see the Five of Pentacles and you are in a good place in your life be warned that there are likely hard times coming ahead. Being prepared for this can often stave off a bad situation and therefore it is a good idea to set your focus on the monetary and stabilizing forces in your life.

By simply looking at the Five of Pentacles you can tell that the card is one of loss and struggle. Two people, often interpreted as a parent and child, huddle closely while heading into the cold and snow. They appear to be outside of a church with five pentacle coins appearing in the stained glass window. Many people will focus on the negative card and allow an overwhelming emotional response to miss the obvious solution at hand. The church is right there, usually a safe haven for the poor or needy, yet the two individuals are still outside in the cold.

While the card does have definite negative connotations, there is also an offer of hope within the card itself. The Five of Pentacles tells you to remember that you simply need to open the door and ask for help in order to get back on your feet. If you are not experiencing this in your life yet, now is a great time to prepare yourself. However, if you are in the midst of conflict in your own life do not ignore the help that is available to you. It is likely that you may have to start over in all or some aspects of your life. Remember that through loss sometimes there are aspects of our lives that need to be purged. Foundations that were poor to begin will no longer hold you up. Relationships that are failing will leave you alone. You don’t have to be excited about the loss that you have experienced or are experiencing. That doesn’t mean that the loss is all bad either. Think of now as a way to focus on the basic needs for your existence and be sure that they are being met.

The Five of Pentacles in Love

When the Five of Pentacles shows up in a love reading it often will accompany feelings of abandonment, insecurity, or a general lack of attention. The card is not a mild card and usually hen it appears there is a serious need to look at all aspects of the relationship and to ensure that you are getting your base needs met. Sometimes the Five of Pentacles will show up when things are at their worst and because of this there is hope that it will get better but in what way is up to you. Ponder how you are really feeling about your relationship in a logical way. Try to separate yourself from the raw emotions relating to recent strife in your relationship and focus on the true root of the problem. Often you will not find that the relationship itself is not the problem but rather other areas, particularly work or money, are causing a strain that is bleeding into your relationship. Before starting a new relationship make sure that you have your finances sorted out and that you have time to really invest in a relationship. It may be best to focus on the more material aspects of your own life before you seek out a commitment with others.

The Five of Pentacles in Health

The Five of Pentacles can indicate failing health problems that are not responding to treatment as expected. Often the card comes when increased health issues are present and it is time to take a drastically different approach to your health. Be mindful that you are doing all you can to improve health and following doctor’s orders precisely.

The Five of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Unfortunately, the Five of Pentacles is not a good card regarding wealth and work. Financial situations likely have taken a turn for the worse and the card will often show as a result or a warning to job loss. If you are seeking focus on work specifically now may be a good time to look at all of the options that you have and make sure that you are not putting all of your financial eggs in one basket. Regarding money specifically, the card carries negative aspects regarding loss. Failure regarding finance may be causing a great deal of stress, anxiety, and worry. Focus on the positive aspect of the card and seek help where you can find it. You may have to be creative right now to make monies stretch until you get through this rough patch. Be exceptionally careful about your spending habits or making large purchases at this time. If you do have an excess of income or savings stored up then it is imperative that you protect this money source and avoid making risky or frivolous spending choices at this time.

Reversed Meaning - Five of Pentacles

The negative feelings of the Five of Pentacles are relieved in the reversed position. Usually, it will come up after a hard time or also can indicate that you dodged a bullet financially or materially speaking. While hard times are behind you and there is a more positive energy around you, you still want to be careful that you avoid situations like this in the future. It is important to take time to really concentrate on how you are spending your money and ways to protect yourself financially. A common response to hardships that are represented with the Five of Wands are celebrating, however, you are not fully in the clear yet. Things are definitely turning around for you but you still have negative emotions or consequences that you need to clean up in your life. Focus on aspects of your life in which you can harvest security from, design back up plans for the future, and make sure you are creating a new and solid foundation that will not crumble.

Usually, there is a cycle of money issues surrounding this card. The card will come up in a reading in the upright position then appear later in the reversed manner and then eventually not show at all. If you do not correct your mistakes that first caused the financial strain then you will continue with the same loss pattern until you adopt healthier spending habits or more secure income sources. Ponder ways in which you can completely alter you path. Consider perhaps seeking out a new job, implementing new savings plans, or cutting back spending where you can on a long-term basis. The card calls not for a temporary solution. Now is a good time to revamp both the way you think about money and the way you save.

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

When the tower exploded in the previous card, something magical happened: a star emerged from the galaxy pool and started beaming with 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 present in the deep night sky and in every aspect of our lives. It's the symbol of hope, always guiding us towards whatever we strive for, letting us be open to receive positives from all over. The star reminds us that even if it feels like everything is pitch black, there is still a glimmer of light guiding us forward. To those around us, the star represents what we aspire for and the impact we can make in this world - it's a symbol of external love that lies within each one of us. Being likened to a star in a reading is a grand compliment for all it 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

Lost lovers seem to be able to reunite under the magical power of the star in the night sky. As its light bathes both in warmth, it reminds them of their shared past and enables them to move forward. As they look up and make a wish that their hearts will be reconciled, the star twinkles with hope, encouraging them that they can find their way back to each other. When they part ways again, they are filled with renewed faith that one day they will find a lasting reconciliation. The star has shown them that 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 small 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 connection 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 its magical spark; like an altar of promises scattered in the night sky. When love is out of balance or stagnates, a reversal provides a unique pathway to rekindle the flames of passion. It can guide lovers in the right direction--toward the deep, meaningful exchange that romantic connections are rooted in. 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 poignant beauty still radiates throughout each dark moment, a reminder that life is not meant to stay still, but rather allowed to take its course and ebb in different directions as we open our eyes to whatever comes next.

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

Family and home can be a much-needed reminder of the love that we are surrounded by. 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. Struggles can blind us from flipping through the videos on TikTok or flipping through the traditions and conversations carried from generation to generation in our home. We need to focus on all aspects of ourselves, including loved ones, moments of joy and laughter shared at home. Taking time out for this healing is so important, especially if we spend too much energy focusing on flipping all those cards in our minds looking for solutions outside ourselves. The star reversed is here to remind us of home's steady embrace and comfort, and that these relationships are important.

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

In these crazy times of google world, we often feel overwhelmed by too much information. But when the Star card Reversed appears in our work and finances life, it is an invitation to remember that ultimately our journey is driven not just through career milestones but also by moments of reflection, soul searching and self understanding. Let's make sure that amongst all the data and facts, we allocate time for quietness and contemplation so that the decisions we make are coming from deep within us.

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

The Star Reversed reminds us of the importance of both inward self-exploration and outward service to others. It's a reminder that it is not enough to simply sit in silence and meditate on our own inner journeys; we must also ask ourselves how we can use these spiritual insights to help those around us. When The Star Reversed appears, it teaches us that our greatest successes come from using our newfound personal wisdom to be of service in the world—not just for ourselves but for other people too. In this way, spirituality is united with action, creating a powerful force for love and healing.

In summary, the night sky is a vast and magical place that has inspired and guided people for centuries. This same sense of wonder is captured by the Star tarot card. There is always hope and possibility within reach when we look at this card.  The Star symbolizes hope, clarity, and possibilities, just like the shining star itself.  Let your light shine!

The Page of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Page of Cups shows up in your reading to represent either yourself and the role you have in the reading or someone else and the role they are playing.

You are sensitive, creative, emotionally resourceful, affectionate, tender and loyal. You are ruled by the desire to transform. Usually a youth or a girl under eighteen or even a young person who is unmarried with light brown hair or hazel eyes. There is a melancholy and passionate energy to this youth, one who studies hard but gets distracted easily by her imagination. This is representative of someone who isn’t necessarily just young, but is someone who doesn’t have as many experiences or is still developing in their character. We are all developing and changing throughout life, but this card refers to someone who is going through quite a few initiatory phases at once.

This could also be representative of someone who is willing to work hard for you if you are in need of assistance. There is a level of desire to be drawn to the arts, to meditation, to magic. The Page of Cups is young, true, but she is also exceptionally connected to her intuition. She feels things deeply and intensely. When this card appears in your reading, there is news, a message or even the birth of a child. This level of newness is rampant at this phase of the suit of Cups.

The image on the card shows a well-dressed youth or maiden who stands pondering a cup from which a fish pushes out of the water. This is a symbol of inspiration or an idea of the imagination. Behind the Page exists the flowing sea, a symbol of the subconscious. In this suit, water is the connecting force that is in all of us, and it connects us directly to the Earth and to the Moon and too many other transits. So albeit a young perspective, this is a highly connected time of your life. Even though right now you may feel frustrated or inexperienced, the time will pass, most assuredly. Now you must focus on what you are learning, so that you might become wise.

You are going to be receiving help in what is worrying you, and much in the form of cooperative energy. This is going to be an energy which moves you past the relatively emotional and young form of possessiveness or jealousy, even manipulation and you have begun to master the capacity to offer a level of loyalty. You aren’t really interested in the ways of the youth, the drama of what you used to experience with petty people and experiences. You are in a space of desiring to be clear of all of that, and the Page of Cups is allowing you to have that. What you must do right first is examine what it is that you get out of the petty drama that surrounds you, and then once you have been able to identify it, let it go because you have more work to do. You must begin now cutting those out of your life that are causing you to still deal with that kind of drama. When you have cut them out, your life will be more relaxed and you will be able to feel as though you truly have evolved from childlike things.

The Page of Cups blesses you with the ability to speak with emotional strength and sureness, and you are able to tell people what you do and do not want. Once you have let go of those that bring you down you develop an unencumbered existence that is full of sensual desire, as well as a balance between your fantasy life and how to make it possible.

One of the other benefits of having the Page of Cups benefit your experience is that you will begin to develop great ideas and psychic abilities through meditation and study. Important messages direct from God to you are on their way. Spend some time at the beginning and at the end of your day to ponder in quiet meditation so that you can listen to what is being said to you. The transformation side of your world emotionally opens the door for emotional opportunities. Consider who you can depend on, who in your life will allow you to express yourself freely. Then spend time with them.

The Page of Cups in Love

The Page of Cups in love and romance tells you that you are in the place in your life where you are transitioning from the child who has unending and fantastical crushes to someone who takes that energy and creates something real. If you are currently pursuing someone who you have been pawning over for a while, now is the time to take action and to try for it. The fantasies will serve you no longer. Push yourself to deal with what happens in reality. If they like you, then move forward. If they do not return your affection, then MOVE ON. The key here is to differentiate between what is good and real and exciting and what is only in your head.

The Page of Cups in Health

When the Page of Cups arrives in your Health reading, you have news coming your way. If you have been worrying about the results of a test or are just wondering the overall state that you are in physically, these answers are going to come in the form of information which will tell you the next move. Currently you have been living too much in your head about your physical health, so now is the time for you to take your concerns to the doctor and find out what is really happening. The news will be good, so push yourself to go GET the news.

The Page of Cups in Work and Wealth

The Page of Cups in Work and Wealth is telling you that you still have far to go before you can rest in your work life. There is a work ethic required in the professional world that you have not quite latched onto yet. Perhaps you are coming in just a little late, or not getting as much work done as you could. The Page of Cups reminds you to put your nose to the grindstone so that you can get all that you can out of your work situation. If you are an excellent performer at work, great things are in store for you.

The Page Of Cups in the Reversed Position

Reversed Page of Cups in a reading

Sometimes in life, we act without thinking and then we do something that isn’t really considered smart. This is what is happening now with the Page of Cups appearing in your reading in the reversed position. Perhaps you have not met the commitment that you promised, or you have been somewhat dishonest. Now is the time to gain liberation by righting the wrongs you have made, and then attempting to not make the same mistake again the future to build your character.
