3 Card Tarot Reading

The Ace of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Ace of Pentacles is filled with grounding and solid energy.

Around the Ace of any card is the unadulterated source of the power of the suit. With the pentacles, the energy is that of the earth and grounded energy. It can indicate that you are in an area in your life right now that you need a grounding focus in your life. With the card in your reading, you can be sure that there are creative energies around you that will aid you with material or earthly gains. The Pentacles is a great card regarding issues such as health and finances usually but can indicate troubles in other areas. Because the energy is quite strong with the Ace card, it can be a time of intense energies that are hard to manage or focus on.

Humans are innately tied to the Earth as we live within it, walk upon it, take our food and water from it, and depend on it for sustenance. Often it is something that is taken for granted and not reflected upon. Take a moment and see all of the ways in which the flows of the Earthly energies affect you. The times in which you feel grounded and those in which you are almost pulled down and sluggish even have a different relation to the Earth.

With the Ace of Pentacles card, the pentacle is being handed by an invisible hand. It’s almost as it is a reminder that this is a gift that is given to you and as one part of four Aces that make a whole. With the Ace of Pentacles, the gift is that of solid intelligence holding you firmly in place. It can be a strong motivator or a hindrance and you must pay special attention as to how you use the energy.

You must remember when seeing the Ace of anything in your reading that the energy is coming to you or around you in its pure form. As an intuitive and aware human being, it is up to you to be responsible for directing the energy accordingly. You can use the other cards in your reading to take a clue of what direction to use the energy with as well. For example, if you see multiple Ace cards in your readings, know that this is an important time for you in your life. The cards can also be compounded and in the case of the Ace of Pentacles, if you see a plethora of other pentacle cards then you will understand that the focus of your reading (and perhaps the focal points of issues in your life) is grounding and earthy issues.

A word of warning regarding this card is that there can be too much of a great thing. The steadfast footing that you are experiencing or have built-in aspects of your life can help to ensure a successful step towards your future but it can also plant you in place.

Too much Earthy energy can cause your life to become unbalanced. A person for example that is too entrenched in the earth (like when you have a lot of pentacles cards in your reading) can also indicate a person that is stuck in the mud. Earth can squelch out fiery motivation or passion and cause air and water energies to stagnate.  You must be careful to balance out the energies in your life and to not allow one area to overpower the other. You will know right away when the card comes up if this is an issue or a well-wishing for you in your reading and you must act on it accordingly.

The Ace of Pentacles is also a card of results. Often the Ace of Pentacles will come up in a reading when you need to be reminded of your own roots and to firmly plant yourself back on your path in order to see your result realized as you desire. Even though it is a beginning card in the story as all Aces are, it is also a good card to remind yourself what you are ultimately attaining. Like a house that is built out of design and action, the Ace of Pentacles tells you to focus on what you want the end result to be. It is the finished house made of all of the other elements. This may be a good time to set down a schedule, to keep you on track, and build the foundation as well. The beginning is the end is the beginning. You are building your path one brick at a time.

The Ace of Pentacles sort of sets the stage for the next act of your relationship and it is an excellent sign for moving forward.

In regards to new love, the Ace of Pentacles will indicate good tidings coming your way in love. Usually, it is indicative of a stable and grounding relationship headed your way, one in which you can build from as an addition rather than a distraction to your life.

The Ace Of Pentacles in the Reversed Position

Reversed Meaning - Ace of Pentacles

With the Ace of Pentacles shows that the energy of the Earth is around you, however, it is much more indicative of the negative aspects of the energy such as laziness, sluggishness, or a lack of motivation. When this card comes up in the reversed position it is a good sign that you need to work on balancing the energies in your life to bring out the good of the Ace of Pentacles. Consider ways in which you are being too stubborn or lacking flexibility and do your best to change them.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Love and Romance

When it comes to love and romance, the Ace of Pentacles reversed can mean that your actions and decisions can do harm to your relationship. Often this serves as a warning to evaluate your actions by asking yourself, “Are you giving too much and not getting enough in return?” This could indicate an imbalance in your relationship, where one is always giving and the other is always taking; thereby creating insecurity and instability. It would be helpful if you figure out what things stand between you and your partner - greed, dishonesty, jealousy, self-centeredness. All these could be putting your relationship on shaky ground. 

If you are single, the Reversed Ace of Pentacles could be telling you to be careful not to miss out on opportunities to start a romantic relationship in the future. You might be holding back because of past heartbreaks and anxiety, making you feel vulnerable and afraid to open your heart to love again. 

If you are currently dating, the Ace of Pentacles reversed is a reminder to get to know the person better. Spend more time and give the budding relationship more attention in order for it to grow and progress.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Family and Home

Having the Ace of Pentacles in the reversed position for family usually means that things in your life are not going as smoothly as should be. This card can mean several things in terms of family life. For married couples, it can mean that you may have spent so much time with your career that you don’t spend much time with your spouse anymore. 

Financial issues could also cause arguments and misunderstandings among family members. You may have focused too much on achieving financial stability that you have neglected your family.  In terms of family finance, the reversed Ace of Pentacles serves as a warning to be careful about your expenditures.

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Work and Finances

Although it does not certainly signify financial doom, the reversed Ace of Pentacles serves as a warning to take serious consideration before overspending or putting large sums of money in a risky investment. 

Your loans may be declined, investment returns may not be great, and financial losses may be at hand. Take heart, though. Although money is vital for survival, it is not everything. It will not help if you start comparing yourself to others, especially when it comes to material possessions and financial stability. This should be a time for you to start saving and planning for a better future. Don’t spend more than what you have; find ways to live within your means.

In terms of work, the Ace of Pentacles in the reversed position is not a very good sign of good luck. The pay rise, bonus, or promotion you may be expecting are very likely to fall through. It may also mean that you are about to lose a job, or may not get the job you have always wanted. It would not be wise to make any financial commitments amidst this uncertainty. 

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Health and Wellness

The reversed Ace of Pentacles can serve as a warning that you are not looking after your health very well. You could be overstressing yourself at work or are doing unhealthy habits that can yield negative consequences in the future. You may have started a healthy living plan, but failed to stick to the routine. Your health may be suffering and you are not doing anything to help yourself get back in your best shape. If you continue to neglect your wellbeing, you will constantly feel exhausted and run down. 

This could also signify that there might be setbacks in your recovery from a current illness. Overall, this card gives you precautions to give importance to your health - physically, mentally, and emotionally. Work on achieving the right balance, practice mindfulness, exercise, and eat the right diet. 

The Ace of Pentacles Reversed - Personal Spirituality

In the aspect of personal spirituality, The Ace of Pentacles in reversed position indicates that something is stopping you from achieving your goals. You may not feel confident enough to even try. However, you must not let your anxiety psyche you out before you have even made your first step. 

I’m afraid that negative thoughts are the main factors that stop you from attaining your dreams. In order to accomplish great things, you must conquer your own insecurities and believe in your personal worth. Believe that you are worthy of happiness, abundance, and stability. This card encourages you to try.

This card could also signify that you are not giving importance to your spiritual growth as much as you do for material things. You may be putting off your spirituality because you are too focused on acquiring wealth. Remember that these things are not the only source of happiness; real happiness springs from within you.

When you have received the Six of Swords, this is a sign that the difficult cycle that you have been experiencing is now ending.

You must allow yourself to flow with the phase so that it can completely eliminate itself from your experience. Now is the time for you to investigate the possibilities at your disposal. You have been experiencing unpleasant times, therefore to fully get rid of the frustration you have to completely separate yourself from all energy that is even remotely similar so that you may find peace of mind and harmony. This is very similar to the sunshine after a storm that was mentioned in the Three of Swords. You have gotten through the worst of. Now, full of ammunition as a result of all that you have learned you begin to take strong steps out into the sun to celebrate. Make sure that you realize that everything is relative to the viewpoint that it is perceived and try your hardest to communicate in a non-combative way with others so that you appear to be a receptive person. When listening to what others have to say, you will learn different perspectives that you had not considered prior to this moment.

The image of the card in the Rider Waite deck is that of a woman who has clearly been through something difficult. She and her child are taken across the waters to calmer shores. This is a time when are going to be blessed with a better future; you will have success over your anxieties. Often times this card is symbolic of a physical move in addition to an emotional transition. This card describes what it feels like to have gotten through a difficult period. You have basically escaped with your metaphorical life and now you are heading to territories that will be healthier for you and for any that come with you. You no longer fill your life with confusion or frustration.

You do not start painstaking and pointless battles with others and you have begun to understand that an attachment to an internal fantasy world where you are paranoid about what others think about is not going to benefit you and in fact, never has. This card is applauding you for making positive choices for yourself because, through this motion that you have decided to take, you will be able to be free and contented. Starting over is the absolute best way sometimes, to come to a refreshed state in your existence. Your burden is made lighter and you have much to rejoice in.

Now that you have been blessed with the support that is provided to you after having terrible adversity, you are able to maintain the perspective of someone who is tranquil in times of turmoil. If you have already been through it, then you won’t feel as afraid as you did originally. You will get better at taking things in stride. Just as the woman is doing in the image on the card, you are willing to take you across the metaphorical waters. This willingness shows strength in character that will only bring you greatness in the future. You do not waste your energy on pointless drama, for you have learned your lesson.

The number six throughout the suits stands for expansive lessons, currently, boundaries of self do not stop at the surface of your body and your goals begin to take on the air of your extended self. You begin to help others, you feel expansive and enlightened.

The Six of Swords in Love

When the Six of Swords appears in your reading about love and relationships, you can expect to find new love in your new environment. You have decided to get rid of everything that makes you unhappy and you no longer perpetuate negativity by holding onto baggage. Therefore, this card shows you putting your past behind you and going to a whole world of new opportunities. In love, after you have had time to settle into your new situation, you will feel that everything is sparkling and new in your home, and in this there will definitely be someone who is going to sparkle their way right into your world. You no longer have to worry about being abused, for you look forward to your future and nothing can hurt you right now.

The first assumption when looking at the ferryman is the fact he is taking the women and child away on his boat. Is she leaving a lover? This card indicates that there is an end or new relationship beginning and calmer waters are on the horizon. There is a feeling that trauma has taken place in love. The child and mother are moving away to a new start via the waters of emotion. We often overlook the third person in the picture, the child sits helplessly next to his Mother and it was most probably the mother who decided to leave. Is she removing herself from abuse? Is the child removed from love and friendships due to her fleeing? Is this "you" as a child? It could simply be that your parents have controlled your love life to the point of this being intolerable. I do feel in love this card means “think about the child” this could be your inner child - or a child (born or unborn) in real life. The child is being held closely by the mother for comfort, this card can also mean possible children from love. In my experience, this card often comes up when the relationship is challenging or that there is a new start of two lovers. It could simply be that a partner has just stopped listening to you and walked away. This indicates two people who were in love but that this relationship is just gone - vanished without conflict. If you are asking about a "future love outcome" the six of swords in a spread can often indicate that you are moving away from a difficult past and to the future. As their backs are turned to the past this indicates a better, more happy future in love.

The Six of Swords in Health

The Six of Swords in Health refers to all of the changes that you have and are going to make for your body. You are getting out of a phase of stagnation or dormancy with your physical body and must continue building the momentum by pursuing cardio as well as perhaps yoga or anything that is going to stretch your body out so that it continues the momentum of restretching itself into the body that is healthy and no longer full of emotional or physical baggage.

The Six of Swords in Work and Wealth

The Six of Swords only appears in a work or wealth reading to point out the passing phase of a job that was extremely frustrating for you. If you are in a bad job situation right now that is making you miserable and you are trying to decide if you should leave, the Six of Swords supports you in your decision to make the change. As of now you feel abused, exhausted and you need to make the change. Now is the time to do so.

The Six Of Swords Reversed

There is either too much or too little happening for you right now and you feel as if you need a mental retreat but have absolutely no desire to make it happen for yourself. You are distracted from all of your projects and you are experiencing a level of neurosis that is hard to control. With this information overload, the best thing to do is to practice clearing your mind and putting your thoughts in order. When there is a situation of physical or mental abuse you need support. This should either be from a professional if the situation is severe, or through the help of a friend or loved one who has the additional perspective that you need to get out of this negative time in your life. The more distance you have from this abusive pattern in your life, the easier it will be for you to rise above it. Make the changes; get across the river to safety as fast as you can.

Six of swords reversed love

In the Waite tarot deck, the six of swords reversed means that someone will declare love to you. It can imply that you have come to a stalemate in a relationship. The rough waters mean you are not balanced. You do feel now the time is to give up "come what may." There is a time of transition romantically, maybe obsessing over a relationship and also a lack of action. It is a card to say that you are sick of trying to make someone happy and you will go it alone if needs be. The good thing about this card appearing in the spread is that you are ready to work on problems and mend strained relationships. Battles are ahead I am afraid and tenacity is needed. The future does look quite rough but you can overcome any problems. Don’t lose any hope at the moment.

The Queen of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Queen of Cups is an excellent card representing one being in control of her emotions and is a great card regarding emotions and love. More than that she is a wise queen that understands that there is a balance between emotion and intuition and seeking out a common ground for your own inner feelings of peace.

Internally the Queen of Cups shows tender love and can reflect good signs as well for feelings of spirituality and harmony. It’s an excellent time to focus on the goals that make you happy and internal love. Pending the placement of the card, there are aspects of your life that are full and like a tapestry of warm colors adding to your own internal peacefulness. The Queen of Cups is already at her station in life and she has figured out the real and true aspects of her life that are worth her efforts.

When the Queen of Cups is present you may also want to be on the lookout for an older female, usually, someone that has somewhat of a mothering personality to her. She often will be lending her assistance while you are working out issues in your life and is someone that you want to be sure to be listening to. This is someone that you can trust and someone that you can know is looking out with your best interests at heart.

Because the Queen is ruler over the realms of the emotional and spiritual, it is also wise to understand that there is little tolerance in your life right now for not being responsible emotionally.

Where concern and care are present, it usually doesn’t bode well for health. Now maybe a good time to get your check-up and just make sure everything is on track. The good news is that water is a healing element and anything you catch now should be early on and easy to heal.

The Queen of Cups in Work and Wealth

The Queen of Cups is often a good card in other areas of life, but not the best indicator for finances or wealth. Think of her as a woman not concerned with money. She likes to be comfortable, but she isn’t going out of her way to make money. For you, this doesn’t mean it’s bad news thankfully… but it doesn’t mean good news either! Now isn’t a great time to be focusing on new investments or growth in this area.

Queen of Cups Advice

The Queen of Cups is a card deeply rooted in emotion and intuition. Seeing it in relation to advice reading is a clear message: now is the time to look within yourself and connect with your feelings. The queen of cups naturally avoids any conflict. They represent one's “loving” side. She is the carer, the nurturer, and ensures that her family is provided for. In my view, for advice, this card is saying to act through love and trust your instincts. Be more in touch with your sensual side. The mind, while useful, can sometimes be corrupting when it comes to decision making - it races and overanalyzes while emotions are pure and true. 

Whatever the scenario you are currently facing, the Queen of Cups is suggesting you trust in the deepest part of your own nature - seek settings which are meditative and peaceful, give yourself the space to access the most compassionate and nurturing parts of yourself. All in all, this card has a message of simplicity - it runs in opposition to the quick-moving power of the mind and asks, instead, that you think with your heart. If you keep working with your natural intuition, you won’t go wrong. 

Queen of Cups Yes Or No

If you’re seeking a yes or no answer in a tarot card reading, then the Queen of Cups isn’t a clear signifier one way or the other. That’s because this card is neutral, its meaning can only be derived by the question being asked. The reader can try and gauge this meaning by reflecting on their question and the general meaning of the card, the Queen is a symbol of womanhood, virtue, and emotional wisdom. The clear link between intuition and this card could be a sign that the right answer lies inside of you. Take comfort in this card, all the seeking you must do is within yourself. Try and let your feelings roll over you, see which way they push you, and you will find the solution you desire. 

Queen of Cups Past

When the Queen of Cups appears in the past position it is a symbol of a deeply important relationship you had with a person in your past. While this can sometimes point to a male figure, it usually signifies a female presence. Whoever the person, they were emotionally intelligent, deeply caring, and played an integral role in giving you a clear sense of your own morality. 

For this reason, seeing this card in the past position could be a reminder to reconnect with those values you of a female. In this position, it can also be a call back to an event or time in your life in which you were especially compassionate or creative - perhaps it is an old hobby or project you were working on? If this resonates with you, then the Queen of Cups is likely signifying the nurturing impact this creative pursuit had on you personally. It may just be the time to think about starting a new creative project!

Queen of Cups Present 

Though the Queen of Cups has a very clear relationship with tranquility, seeing this card in your present position does not necessarily mean you are currently in the midst of a peaceful experience. In fact, conversely, it may be suggesting that you are weathering a difficult emotional period, one that requires patience and reflection. If so, this card is a reminder to connect with your most nurturing side - give all your love, warmth, and kindness to those around you. This is especially true if you have recently found yourself taking on a maternal role of care (this doesn’t necessarily have to refer to your own children, remember). To make the most of this reading, you should look to be proactive in your empathy, try and be observant of those around you and see where you can help. You have a bright light within you, your creativity and compassion may be the saving grace for someone close to you. 

Queen of Cups Future and Outcome

When The Queen of Cups is related to future and outcome spreads, it signifies an upcoming chapter where you will need to draw from your emotional and spiritual knowledge. When the time comes, you will need to muster your strength to say consistent and calm, no matter how trying the situation. The Queen is a symbol of sensitivity, but also composure - she listens and reflects before she reacts. Try and draw strength by practicing your own endurance in even the most difficult and stressful situations. This upcoming period may be hard for you, others around you will likely be swept up in the chaos and become reactive, but if you can remain patient you will be the saving grace of those closest to you. It may not be an easy role to take on, but it is one that will leave you stronger, more mature as well as filling others with a deep sense of gratitude for your unwavering support and empathy. 

Queen of Cups Love Reconciliation

As a card with a clear connection to emotion, the Queen of Cups is generally a positive card to draw in a love and reconciliation reading. If you’re enquiring about a past relationship, it likely points to a nurturing romantic partnership, one in which emotions run deep and are entirely authentic. It is likely you will get back together. If you’re experiencing trouble in your relationship, it suggests that being emotionally open will benefit your mutual development. Now is the time to talk about your feelings and be open to both of your own unique perspectives. 

If you are single, this card is a signal that a loving experience is coming your way. It might be time to start meeting new people and develop new connections. Remember, this card is all about trusting your own instincts and appreciating people fully, not just on the surface level. Don’t be deterred by anything superficial. Instead, seek real emotional intimacy and you might just find your soulmate. 

Queen of Cups As Feelings

Encountering the Queen of Cups when trying to understand how someone feels about you should inspire reassurance. Just as this card is full of gentle feeling, the person you are curious about is brimming with positive emotion, they definitely feel very warmly towards you. However, it is worth noting, that as this card exists primarily in the emotional realm, this person may not be aware of just how deep their feelings for you go. We can store a lot of emotion in our subconscious, but trust that their true sensibilities will make their way to the surface eventually.

This card may also suggest that someone feels protective of you. They see your sensitivity and may interpret this as fragility. It’s true that if your nature aligns with the Queen of Cups you may be best-matched with someone with a strong rational who can balance out your dreaminess. However, never forget to trust in the strength and power of the emotional, creative realm you’re so in touch with. It is fine to trust in a person who wants to take care of you, but be wary they don’t clip your wings or limit your imagination.

The Queen Of Cups In The Reversed Position

Reversed the Queen is still present but lacking direction. In the reversed position she can show erratic emotional states. The emotion is there but there is a lack of control and it will often show that there is a more serious underlying issue at hand. With the Queen not in control there is havoc in the castle and in your own life even you may find that you are surrounded with rumors, innuendo, or dysfunction. Now is a time to be on your guard and to walk on eggshells. Be careful how you react and ponder ways in which you are not being reasonable emotionally. Do not allow yourself to get overextended or emotionally exhausted as it is bound to cause problems in your relationships, friendships, and at work. 

Queen of Cups As Friendship

The Queen of Cups is a great card to see in a friendship reading - it is a card of love and community. It points to the power of embracing friends fully and not being afraid to give them all of your love and support. If your friendship group is feeling shut off at the moment, this card is a reminder that there is no better time to reconnect than right now. If a close friend is going through a difficult period, then the Queen of Cups suggests that you should extend your friendship and use your powers of reflection to offer valuable advice. This is a good time to exercise some selflessness - all the goodness and help you bestow upon a friend will come back to you in the end, anyway. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Love and Romance

While the Queen of Cups upright highlights the balance and power of emotional tranquility, when reversed it can refer to instability. In a love and romance reading, this is likely to relate to insecurity and jealousy. Are your feelings getting the better of you? Some emotions, such as love and happiness, are very useful driving forces, but negative emotions, such as jealousy or resentment, can cause a lot of harm. This card reversed is a gentle push telling you to reflect on your actions, take a step back, and see if your own behaviour has been fair and measured. If it hasn’t been, now may be the time to make amends by letting go of any feelings of bitterness. Now is the time to focus on your intuition - don’t let your head be clouded with the green mist of jealousy. 

If you are single, the Queen of Cups reversed is a reminder you should proceed with caution. There is an imbalance of emotions in your life right now, and this is not a good state to be in when entering a relationship. Vulnerability can draw in bad-natured people who will see your fragility as a chance to exert power and take advantage of you. If you’re looking for direction, this reversed card implies that time spent restoring emotional balance is important. Seek personal security and inner peace before you begin looking outside yourself for love. The only person who can truly rebalance your feelings within is your own self. 

​Queen of Cups Reversed - Family and Home

Seeing the reversed Queen of Cups in a family and home spread is a prompt to the reader that now is the time to rediscover love in the home. Sometimes, it is easy to forget that love is the core of every family. When you see this card reversed you should take heed: everyone in your home should try and adjust to a more positive outlook. Perhaps the family has become overrun with anger, stress, and instability. This reading may even be highlighting a particular person (possibly yourself), and likely a woman, someone who was once the foundation of the family has become untethered, leading the rest of the family to become insecure as a result. That isn’t to say this woman is entirely to blame for the situation, merely that she has reached her emotional limit. To restore harmony, family members should look to find new ways to express gratitude for each other and display their love. When people feel appreciated it is much easier to overcome resentment which might otherwise seep into the everyday. Female intuition and compassion can amend this and restore harmony in the home.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

In a work and finance context, the Queen of Cups reversed may be highlighting work stress or a burden of emotion relating to your financial situation. You may be overworking and leaving yourself in a fragile emotional state. 

If you’re feeling unsure about your career choices you may also be suffering from indecision, and allowing yourself to become overwhelmed with emotion. Whatever the case, you’re likely feeling unsatisfied. When reversed, this card is a signal that you need to evaluate your situation and your options. Are you feeling stunted creatively? Are the conditions of your work-life leading you to feel stressed? Are you spending money frivolously and then inflicting financial worries? Take the time to fully assess what’s going on in your life and then plan to take action. While you may have been reactive in the past, now is the time to change all that by reflecting deeply and carefully on your career choices and what you can do to make yourself happy and secure going forward.

Queen of Cups Reversed - Health and Wellness

The reversed Queen of Cups in a health reading may be highlighting stress or overexertion. If you’ve been spreading yourself too thin recently, then you should think about taking a pause and giving yourself the rest you need. You may be busy, but in the long run, you’ll only burn out if you keep on at the rate you’re currently operating. Remember that you have to take care of yourself before you can properly take care of others. The result of all this rushing around may also be impacting your emotional wellbeing - when you’re stressed, you’re more likely to be sensitive and if you’re not careful one small comment could be the straw to break the camels back. All in all, the reversed Queen of Cups in this kind of reading is a call to stop and rest for the benefit of your health. 

Queen of Cups Reversed - Personal Spirituality

Seeing the Queen of Cups reversed in a personal spirituality reading is a sign of limited potential. It may be the case that you’ve been ignoring signs to reconnect with your spiritual side or that you have allowed yourself to become so over-saturated with emotions your intuition is not functioning like normal. In some cases, the reversal of this card actually suggests you have psychic abilities that you are not exercising. To remove the spiritual blockage try meditation. Slow down and, with time, you will find yourself back on your predestined spiritual path. 

Queen of Cups and Judgement Combo

Judgment in readings is about letting something go, moving on, even after something that made you feel worthy. The queen of cups indicates that you are seeing things more clearly in a love relationship. Typically under the circumstances, the combination of the Queen of Cups and judgment can indicate that you need to release yourself from a difficult relationship and the advice is that someone will make a difference to your life. That it is important to let your feelings go when you see this combo.
