3 Card Tarot Reading

The Star Tarot Card Meaning

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

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

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

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

The Star in Love

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

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

The Star As Feelings

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

The Star As Love Reconciliation

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

The Star in Health

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

The Star in Work and Wealth

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

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

The Star Advice/Action

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

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

The Star As Friendship Or Family

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

The Star Rervesed Meaning

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

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

Love and Romance - The Star Reversed

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

Family and Home - The Star Reversed

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

Work and Finances - The Star Reversed

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

Health and Wellness - The Star Reversed

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

Personal Spirituality - The Star Reversed

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

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

• The Star is a tarot card that represents hope, guidance, and inspiration
• This card can be a sign that you are about to embark on a new journey
• The Star can also represent your own inner light and ability to shine in the dark times
• If you are feeling lost or confused, the Star tarot card can be a reminder that you are not alone
• Trust your intuition and follow your heart - the Star will guide you to your true path

Two Of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Two of Pentacles can present a bit of a struggle in your life during the past, present, or future depending on the placement of the card. See the lady in the card trying to balance the peacock feather. It could fall at any time. This is a metaphor that you are trying to balance two situations.

Either way, it is usually an indication that you need to give specific focus to the more materialistic aspects of your life or that you are juggling too much and on the brink of failure. In the future position it’s possible to avoid the unbalanced fate of this card and it’s a bit more manageable. However, if you are currently dealing with this balancing act or just come out of a rough patch the card states that you need to apply more attention to the stabilizing factors in your life.

Like the man on the card, you are in an endless struggle to keep the two pentacles in motion. Earthy energies of the pentacles card often lead to sluggishness and when you are juggling, that’s not a good thing. You may notice that there is too much pull at work, causing you to lose focus on things at home or vice versa. Be prepared to lie down and sacrifice one aspect or the other based on where your true need lies.

If you feel, for example, that things are falling apart in a relationship or with your family and your attention is needed but you also have to work and perform well at your job then the best course of action may be that you need to cut back where you can. Cutting back in one specific area is going to be more beneficial to you than having it all crumble on top of you. It may seem like an impossible task or that you are faced between choices that you simply cannot act on. Be creative and allow for help if need be.

Take a step back in your life right now and reflect on what is truly important to you. Imagine your goal in a box. You can’t choose more than one for right now. Simply pick the most important aspect of your life. Consider all aspects of your life and create goals that feed into that ultimate goal. If you are finding that you are involving yourself in tasks that do not ultimately meet your main goal at this time, then those are things that need to be dropped. Now may not be a good time for extra socializing or taking on new tasks that you are going to be unable to handle. Allow your focus to be centralized and realize that this cutting back is not a permanent thing. Sometimes you need to knuckle down and get through a difficult situation in order for your horizon to broaden. Give yourself time to resolve the drama or struggle in your life before you take on more. Do not allow for distractions or nay sayers around you to take your eye off of the prize.

The Two of Pentacles in Love

Right now you may be feeling overwhelmed in the love department and either facing too many demands in your relationship or simply feeling that your needs are not being met. Usually the Two of Pentacles comes up when there is a choice to be made and in love the choice is often one of whether you WANT to be in the relationship you are in currently… or even in a relationship at all. With this card specifically it tells you to be brutally honest with yourself if you are willing to be flexible enough for a relationship at this time. Consider if you are truly getting your needs met and if your relationship is the right one for you.

Because the Two of Pentacles comes up it doesn’t mean that your relationship is doomed or that you are doomed to be alone. If you walk away from your pondering saying, “Why yes! I am sure of my relationship!” or you truly know that you are emotionally ready to be seeking out new love then you have a decision to make. Not to point a finger, but if this is the case then the issue in love is usually you. Your desire is that you want to be loved and love is obviously a priority for you. Now you must consider if you have been showing this to your partner, prospective partners, and most of all yourself. Take steps to make love a priority. Do not set it aside or expect it to wait for you during long work hours, not communicating your feelings, or other excuses. There is no such thing as ‘not enough time’. Even if you are exceptionally busy, love and relationships require investments and assurances of your will and desire to be there. This is a time that you must prove what you want, vocalize your desires, and most of all balance out your wants with reality. It’s okay for example to tell your partner, “I know things have been busy and I have been distracted lately.” You may find that simply communicating or taking a quick break to rekindle your relationship that the love will bloom rather than die out.

The Two of Pentacles in Health

Slow down cowboy! The Two of Pentacles in your love reading indicates that you are doing too much. Excess worry, doing too much, and over extending yourself is taking a toll on your body and you are in definite need of a recharge! Even if your focus is health, you are doing too much too fast and you are going to notice negative effects. Take a break, breathe, and treat yourself. This is an excellent time to treat yourself and remember to allow some focus in your life for you.

The Two of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Oddly enough, while the Two of Pentacles is often a warning card in other aspects of life… in wealth and work it is a positive card for opportunity and risk taking. The balancing act of the two coins on the Two of Pentacles card shows a balance when it comes to money. When you view the two coins being juggled, either way it’s a win-win situation. If you keep the coins in motion you create a positive cycle of possibilities and chances for money. If you drop the two coins… well, you still have two coins to pick up and put in your pocket. They aren’t going anywhere! It’s not a guarantee that you are going to strike it rich, but the presence of the card is a good sign that there is a chance worth taking in both work and wealth.

The Two of Pentacles Advice

The two of Pentacles is a card of juggling. The man is juggling material possessions in life and this can also signify a change in a relationship. It is an advisory card saying that it is a time to think things over. Think about the pros and cons. The card often comes up as "evolution" and "transition" from one stage of life to the other. It could represent that if you are making decisions of finances then you are juggling money from one phase to another. Balance is the order of the day. Look and see how the lady on the card balances the feather on her hand. It is likely going to fall at any time and drop into the water of emotions. This is the advice right now, try to balance situations.

Two of Pentacles As Yes Or No

The answer is maybe. It is not a clear cut answer, the card suggests that you need to remain emotionally open to new possibilities. Often, the card indicates a “No” but maybe in future terms. In terms of lovers, it can mean that a relationship may come into fruition in the future. 

Two of Pentacles As Feelings

In love, the Two of Pentacles suggests that you may be juggling two relationships or two-timing someone. It can also appear when you are undecided about what to do. There is a focus on organizing yourself better in a relationship and being open to people's feelings. This can be a time of feeling emotional but unable to see the right way ahead. Asking of this person's feelings they may be up and down. It can mean that they are not making any decisions about you. 

Two of Pentacles As Past

Drawing this card in the past position can indicate that things have been up and down, you have been rushing about and not thinking about your own balance. When this card falls in the past it can mean many demands have been placed on you. Time must be managed better and that you need to focus in order to ensure that this busy period remains in your past. This can also crop up when you have not had many things to keep you on an even path. Many demands of your time have occurred and there is a focus on trying to rest. 

Two of Pentacles As Present

Traditionally, the Two of Pentacles is connected to a harmonious change. The balancing act looks easy but it might not be in reality. This card can also appear when your spiritual, intellectual, and emotional resources are being used all at once. It can mean that no matter how hard things appear at the moment you feel rushed into decisions. The balancing act could come from career choices, family members or a health problem. In the real world, if the balancing act remains constant then things will work out well. 

Two of Pentacles As Future / Outcome

When the Two of Pentacles appears in an outcome position and this can suggest that you are balancing or engaging in different acts in the future. It can mean that you are feeling rushed or unable to make clear decisions about the future. The infinity sign about this card is that there is decisions that will eventually need to be made. Striking the right emotional balance is important so you can change and adapt with different situations. Also, notice the water in the pond it is stagnate. It is a symbol that there will be emotions that are delayed or not expressed. This is not a negative card but really the fact that you will be shifting balance and trying to continue with changing situations.  

Two of Pentacles As Love Reconciliation

Patience is the message of the Two of Pentacles in love reconciliation. There will be some time to figure out where you want things going. Determination is important as the Two of Pentacles can signify that you might not get back together that quickly. The lady is seen calm sitting on the indoor pond. This is a time of energy, love and resources but also of ups and downs. 

Two of Pentacles As Friendship

The water in the card represents that you can handle multiple issues in life. The water shows the emotional inadequacy of your friendship. This card can mean that you are ready to encounter a new friendship. The lady balances the peacock feather on her hand and only a shift in her response will change the situation. That is what this is trying to tell you. Try to look for imbalance in your friendship then address this so you are more balanced, it will make your relationships stronger.

Reversed Two of Pentacles in a reading

The Two of Pentacles in the reversed position often has a positive effect on reading. While it can indicate a difficulty in making a decision or need to seek counsel in your life… it generally means that you are WILLING to do these things. In the upright position, there is a sense of carelessness that is not present in the reversed card. Gone are the juggling and the coins of the card lie where they may. What is done is done. Now is a time to look around and seek out opportunities and allow for stable changes to enter your life. There is a chance still related to this card but it is less risky. There may even be a decision before you, but it is not such a difficult one. There are areas of your life that need attention and you should know what they are. Be open in your communication with loved ones and even ask what you can do to improve situations. The power is in your hands to create positive relationships at this time if you are willing to humble yourself and seek direction.

The Six of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Six of Cups is a pleasant little card that can indicate that there are a lot of positive energies surrounding you at this time… so long as they are balanced.

First we will talk about the good of the card and then we will discuss the pitfalls. This card represents nostalgia and ideal times of your life. Often the card will come at a time in your life when you need solace or healing because it represents the need to focus your energies on more simplistic outlets. It’s an excellent time to center your energies on clearing out the messes in your life that are unnecessary.

If you are feeling that there is a lot going on in your life and you are being sucked in by a whirlwind of events or stressors understand that you have the power to slow things down. It can be difficult to separate out what needs your attention right now and what you can let go. The Six of Cups can tell you to go back to the basics and rather than working on cutting aspects out of your life completely reworking areas of your life so that they aren’t taking out so much from you personally.

The imagery on the card shows a boy handing a younger child, seemingly a female, flowers. There is no hint of monetary exchange and it is often interpreted as a loving or childish gesture. The colors of the card are all indicative of spirituality and emotional strength. It is also a pleasant card in regards to the fact that there is no real downside to this card. Generally it shows the positive nature of universal love. The love in the card is represented as that between families and because of this it is a good omen for fertility and childbearing – as well as a great card involving familial bonds.

On the darker side of this card it can be a warning. Too much of a good thing sometimes is a bad thing and in this card that is the case. Depending on what other cards in your reading the Six of Cups, it can be showing that you are focusing too much on the past or reverting to childish behaviors. Be wary of this card paired with many reversed cards, specifically the 2 of Cups or the Lovers card reversed. If you see this card in your reading you may want to consider ways in which you could be possibly acting immature or childish in your own life to be sure that the card is not a negative omen for you.

The Six of Cups in Love

The Six of Cups in Love can indicate problems in a relationship when there are disagreements or arguments going on that one or both people in the relationship are not being mature. They are not meeting in the middle as they should and usually there is an indication of being selfish. While the card is positive and in certain aspects because it can show positive leanings toward family and children, when dealing with relationships specifically between people it usually reverts to the simpler meaning and simple isn’t always good regarding love.

The Six of Cups in Health

When the Six of Cups comes up in health usually there is a need to slow down or to “stop and smell the roses”. There may be ongoing health issues as well that flare up or illnesses from childhood that you are susceptible to and should avoid right now. In the case where you are concerned about another person, the card indicates that that person needs care and that you should be assisting them. They need your help or the help of others in general to get on the mend.

The Six of Cups in Work and Wealth

The Six of Cups in work will usually show a very good and creative time for you. It’s an excellent card when referring to working with a group. Right now your main focus needs to be on the simple approaches and avoid making anything too complicated or overly ornate so that you don’t miss your goal or deadline.

Six of Cups Advice

A tree's roots stretch out long and twisting, while the trunk towers above in a showering of leaves, it is what lies beneath that keeps the tree standing tall. Our past is our legacy, positive energy surrounds the Six of Cups like blossom blowing in the spring air. 

Just like the flower-filled cup being offered on this card, life is presenting you with opportunities for growth and expansion. It asks you to flick back through the past chapters of your life like you’re rereading your favourite book - is there something familiar that could be of use to you now?

Sometimes it is a mentoring figure from your childhood that this card calls upon, a parent or an older sibling. In your past, there is insight and wisdom, lessons which may have since been forgotten and a guiding hand that will bring you to new beautiful places in the future - make sure you utilise these gifts of your history. 

Six of Cups Yes Or No

Reconciliation, reconnection, a new lease of life - these are all qualities deep within the Six of Cups card. Like a full moon reappearing in the night sky, this card honours the cycles of life and the wondrous possibility of forgiveness and redemption. All this is to say, it has a specific and important type of positive energy; its answer to your question is yes. Keep your eyes fixed on the future while carrying the lessons of the past, this affirmative answer may serve you very well. 

Six of Cups Past

The past is thick with nostalgia and precious memories, you may find yourself dwelling more and more in these past chapters of joy. But like a treasured photo album, if you dip into your own history too much the pages will become dogeared and the keepsake will eventually lose its value. It’s fine to mine the past for inspiration and love, but make sure you’re not looking back more than you look forward - if you are, you might just end up missing the new, beautiful experiences right before your eyes. 

Six of Cups Present 

Hard work warrants big rewards; sometimes it seems we plant so many seeds, yet so few actually sprout in times of drought.  Good news! A new season of prosperity comes this way; observe this card, see the chalices filled with beautiful flowers and how they’re shared between two kindred souls with free-spirited butterflies surrounding them. 

Now is a great time to make friends, a connection might just spark new streams to hydrate and nourish other areas of your life. All those seeds you planted are about to come into season, roll up your sleeves and get ready to enjoy the harvest - beautiful spring and all its new creatures are here just for you. There is so much to enjoy, this is a wonderful card to see in your present position. 

Six of Cups Future and Outcome

Our lives are like towers, sometimes we’re building upwards towards the sky, sometimes we have setbacks and have to take a rest and recuperate. To keep your ascent steady and purposeful, you must recall the lessons and values of the past. After all, you wouldn’t be as high as you are without them. What materials have you used before, what served you best? 

Think of the decisions that worked out well for you and try and understand why. Doing so may just enable you to unfurl your greatest desires and manifest them into reality, like a ribbon coming loose and blowing in the wind. With an equal measure of craft and reflection all your wants and dreams are possible, just make sure you’re putting your full existing experience to use and you’ll sail as smoothly as a yacht on a sunny day. 

Six of Cups Love Reconciliation

A long-lasting love, youthful years that have been spent growing together like two strings of ivy that have become intertwined over time. The Six of Cups frequently appears here when a relationship has been formative and long-lasting, possibly even signifying childhood sweethearts.

For some, this card carries a message of deepened commitment - could now be the time to start a family? But for others, it may be pointing to a lack of maturity that is unbalancing your partnership, or even a wistfulness for a lost romance that is distracting a partner from their current coupling. A steady and responsible interrogation of your romance is in order, be as fair-minded and honest as a judge - sometimes, we must let go of even long-burning romances. 

Single? Perhaps not for long, a long lost love - a figure from the pages of your past - looks set to make an exciting reenterance. Sometimes we think of the past coming back to haunt us, but don’t let prejudice hold you back, sometimes love just needs time to come into full bloom. 

Six of Cups As Feelings

Warmth, heady and intoxicating like nostalgia. These are the feelings of the person you inquire after; to them, you are like an ambient Christmas evening - magical and full of potential. While there may not be sparky passion in this person’s feelings, there is definitely a sense of comfort and maybe even familiarity. The trust they have in you is like that shared between family members, while this might not spell romance, it certainly looks like a beautiful and steady friendship. 

Six of Cups As Friendship

Is there anything sweeter than reconnecting with an old friend? The women on this card demonstrate the beauty of two souls reaching out to one another, their respective joy exploding in a shower of butterflies and stars.

Sometimes we grow apart from friends, only to grow back together again as life’s path converges once more. Pick up that old phone book, dial around - now is the perfect environment for reconnection and it may just lead to a friendship that lasts a lifetime! All bets are off, and hearts are open - what more could you ask for?

The Six Of Cups in the Reversed Position

When you reverse the Six of Cups you are taking the possible mental health concerns – especially from ones that stem from childhood. Also, notice how my cups above are filled with flowers --- when this is reversed the flowers fall out. What is falling out of your cup in life? The innocence of the card is turned upside down and can relate back to past trauma or abuse that you are still working through (or need to) as an adult. The card is a concerning card in the reversed position because it shows there is a need for help but you are likely feeling like you have nowhere to turn or no one to help you. It also can be a bad sign for finance because it shows that there is a level of irresponsibility revolving around money or concern for money. It is also a warning for you to not be too stuck in the past and to be willing to move forward on your path at this time.

Six of Cups Reversed - Love and Romance

Dwindling passion, a flame that blows out in the wind - is the oomph gone from your partnership? Commitment is important, but so is joy and love in daily life. Your relationship can’t rely on familiarity alone, if it does, it’s like a recipe missing its seasoning. 

Remember to focus on the now in your relationship, don’t idealise days since past or dwell on loves you’ve had before. If your thoughts are going everywhere but the here and now, you need to seriously consider why that is - perhaps the fire of your love has been snuffed out permanently?

For those without a partner, an even darker message emerges - it could be that a past traumatic experience is impeding you from finding a romantic partner in the present. There is no shame in this struggle, try and focus on self-love. You, like all people, are deserving of love; there is so much beauty in your soul, and with time it will open out to another partner like a small tulip on a hot day. 

​Six of Cups reversed - Family and Home

There is no history like family history, it stretches back and back and back to the beginning of time. It is this that makes it your foundation, but also what adds more complex twists and turns than a crime novel. 

Sometimes past events begin to haunt the family home - there is the exchanging of blame and feelings of bitterness. This card suggests exactly that, emotions are running high and there is a possible danger zone for the most vulnerable members of your family. 

Sometimes, this card even calls to attention abuse that has gone unnoticed. While this is not pleasant to consider, take pains to ensure that everyone within the family unit is safe and comfortable. From there you can work on reestablishing positive bonds and lessening resentment. Forgiveness is truly a gift, especially in matters of small pettiness. Work on swallowing your pride and in reward you will find a happier, healthier family. 

Six of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

Watching the clock, the minutes ticking away so slowly - why does time pass so agonisingly when you’re bored? This reversed card sees your lack of enthusiasm for your work. The rat race has stalled to more of a crawl...now could be a time for a change of speed. Wallowing is never the answer, but change often is. 

Alternatively, the inverted Six of Cups can also highlight an important but emotionally draining job. This is especially true of roles involving work with the disadvantaged or the vulnerable. Your work is honourable, it brings more good into the universe - but don’t forget to give yourself breaks when you need them. If you burnout it won’t help anyone, least of all yourself. 

Six of Cups Reversed - Health and Wellness

Humans are complex organisms, like beautiful yet confounding machines there are so many processes needed to keep things working, it sometimes feels like occasional breakdowns are inevitable. 

Here, it is the Six of Cup’s relationship with the past and inheritance that can illuminate hereditary illnesses that are passed down genetically. If you know of family ailments possessed by your parents, now may be the time to seek medical advice in these same areas. 

With peace of mind and professional advice, you can take the best and most effective road to full health and vitality. Remember, never beat yourself up about health problems, you are only human and challenges such as this only teach you to be more grateful for the health you do have (just like a rainbow after the rain).

Six of Cups Reversed - Personal Spirituality

Faith can be slippery - it requires a mixture of opposing things: tradition and innovation, solitude and collaboration. It is, of course, important to honour the classic practices of personal spirituality, but sometimes it is necessary to your spiritual development that you reach out and try new things, too. 

Faith should not transform into stubbornness, instead, it is about experimenting with ways of uncovering personal enlightenment in whatever form that takes. Expand your horizons, and who knows what incredible leaps of personal progress you might make with an open heart and mind.
