3 Card Tarot Reading

The Fool Tarot Card Meaning (Upright)

I started reading tarot at 11 years old and now I am nearly 50. What I have written here is all channelled in terms of what I feel the cards mean. If you are looking to learn tarot or you just want to know my take on the Fool card then you are at the start of something.

To me, the Fool reveals the courage and determination that lies within us all. In the life cycle of the Tarot, the Fool is the start of the story. This card represents our childlike selves, or the beginning of a cycle. The Fool is often depicted as a young person, with knapsack in hand who is going places. And what will be the final destination? No one knows, but it does not matter.

And what will be the final destination? No one knows, but it does not matter. For the Fool, the lesson is in the movement, in the adventure of chance. The Fool often shows up in a reading as a reminder that we are taking life too seriously. The person we were before we understood that life can be burdened with an inordinate amount of responsibility. She tells us to break the routine, to try something new even if an experience ends up not turning out exactly the way that we thought it would. Bringing in new adventures and experiences builds character, and too often as a part of the human condition, we get stuck in the monotony of our lives and routines, afraid to ever make a change.

The Fool tells us that it is healthy to break a routine now and again. How else can we gain perspective and appreciation for the life that we have created for ourselves? Embrace spontaneity to find the truth. Shake things up. Express yourself. Do not be callous or cruel, but make changes and give in to laughter. The possibilities are endless, be joyous now. When this card shows up in your reading, consider yourself invincible. There is a step or choice that needs to be made that will propel you forward to the next stage of your development. You cannot and should not ignore this message. Look for opportunities that sprout up around you to do something that you hadn’t considered before, and then consider it. With the Fool, you are encouraged to throw your fear aside.

The Fool timeframe is normally that a new beginning will start in less than 4 weeks, it is about understanding that as a number zero change keeps on coming. In the fool you will find understand the cycles of life, that death and birth will come and you no longer have to be afraid of what you do not know. Here in this adventure, you are invincible. The Eternal optimist, the Fool is lucky because he knows no other way of being. He symbolizes unmitigated joy and he floats from experience to experience. The Fool is honest and hardworking and explains that being forthright is the key to releasing us from our constraints of stunted secrecy. Now is the time to make a choice, to lay out your goals and begin accomplishing them. He promises clarity at the end of the movement because no matter what happens when you put change into motion, change is what you will find. If you can find the joy in the change, then you will find happiness.

The Fool In Love (Upright)

Often we hear the saying, ‘Only fools give in’ or, ‘foolishly in love.’ These sayings are designed to express a level of care-free behavior that has at times been knocked down in today’s skeptical society. There is an overall sentiment that foolish means stupid and that you should always be in control. But this is not so always in life. Responsibility and foolishness both have their place in the cycle of your life. If you ignore the fool within, the romantic, the jester then you might become only a shell of yourself and your existence can feel pointless. Open yourself up to the endless possibility that this card signifies. Whilst pursuing counsel through the tarot about love and relationships the Fool says to tear down the walls that surround your heart and have some fun with the wild and ecstatic energy of love.

Now is an excellent time to pursue new love, to feel silly with someone or just to fall unconditionally in love with you. Embrace your inner fool and trust that falling into this phase is the point. If you get some cuts and bruises, brush yourself off and try again. When you feel fear, remember that you are never alone. Doubt is no more than indecision taking up residence in your heart. Make a decision, any decision and you will become free of the chains that bind you. You are blessed in the phase of the Fool. For more information on what the fool means in love click here

What I channel about the Fool As Feelings (Upright)

As fools, we realize that we have tried too hard to fit ourselves into a mold, where everything was dull and boring after a long-term commitment that was too restrictive. We must honor the child in us who isn't always capable of taking it seriously. It won't be serious, but he or she will try to make you laugh again. You may need to smile to get to know this person, but it will be worth it. The Fool Tarot card represents all these “new” feelings when you move into a new relationship, the gizzy days of living on a love high. As the lady in my tarot card goes on her journey through tarot, she is gazing into the eye of the storm, representing feelings of being  optimistic and carefree in response to the possibilities that lie ahead. As feelings the fool presents: enthusiasm, excitement, and anticipation, but with it they are passing and these feelings won't stay for too long.

What I channel about the Fool in Love Reconciliation (Upright)

This is my go-to tarot card of love reconciliation, taking a chance on love, being vulnerable, and being brave enough to start over are examples of what the fool encourages us to do. Our internal “fool” reminds us that sometimes it is necessary to let go of our pride, forgive one another, and begin again. The hope of reconciliation and the restoration of fractured relationships is offered in this way. Our journey of love reconciliation is ultimately a journey of trust and risk-taking. Through this process, we will be able to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the other person, which will bring happiness and joy to both of us.

What I channel about the Fool in Health Readings (Upright)

When it comes to health and wellness, the Fool card shows that there is more to be discovered within the body and emphasizes the need for physical activity. This card will usually show up if you have been living a somewhat dormant existence. Now is the time to get up off the couch and to pursue an activity that you have never pursued in order to help matters of the circulatory system as well as to strengthen the muscles for overall health.

What my spiritual work says about the Fool in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth (Upright)

When the Fool appears in a reading revolving around abundance, money making, work and wealth it is time to search for some new angle of the work that you have either already begun or to find something new completely. This is not to say that it is time to just quit your job, but when the Fool shows up, he tells us to pay attention to other opportunities that are blessing you throughout the phase of this card’s presence in your life. 

What I channel about the Fool as Action/Advice (Upright)

Fools remind us that trying again and finding healing is never too late, no matter how broken things are, she can step into the third eye for greater awareness. In my view, all things are possible when you have optimism and courage. Life's greatest rewards lie beyond what we know, so embrace the unknown. As long as you have the courage to take the leap and believe in yourself.

What I channel about the Fool in Yes Or No readings (Upright)

There is adventure and joy in the Fool Tarot card. Through an open heart and a fearless spirit, it will lead to growth and self-discovery. It can be daunting to ask if something is a yes or no; the Fool encourages us to take risks and trust ourselves regardless of the uncertainty. You can achieve the Fool's Yes by taking the step and committing to your own journey, but only if you are truly willing to take it.  To read my detailed analysis of the fool Yes or No meaning please click here

The Fool As A Person In my view (Upright)

They understand that life is a series of experiences, so they are unperturbed by failure. Their curiosity will take them to new heights despite their stumbles and falters. It is the Fool's adventurous spirit and inner strength that allows them to travel wherever life leads them. We are reminded to live life with an open heart, trusting that everything will work out in the end. 

In my readings, this is a risk-taker, unafraid of the unknown and willing to explore things in life. They remind us that taking a few leaps of faith is the key to experiencing life's greatest gifts, they are the essence of freedom and joy. 

What the Fool Means In The Present Position (Upright)

In the present position, the fool carries new chances and opportunities, and possibly a warning that you need to accept that sometimes you need to take risks and be open-minded about life. This is an excellent opportunity to make magic happen. 

The Fool In The Present Position in The Future Position (Upright)

No matter what our circumstances are, the Fool reminds us to live life enthusiastically and optimistically.  It is through the Fool's energy that we can set ourselves on our path of discovery whenever we feel lost or uncertain. Faith, courage, and hope are symbols of the Fool, who in the future position can take on the adventure of living life to the fullest, with new beginnings in store. In our darkest hours, she reminds us that even taking risks can bring about unexpected rewards. Fools encourage us to take chances and trust in our abilities despite any fears or doubts we may have. 

The Fool In The Past Position (Upright)

The fool often represents, to me, a time of new beginnings in the past, and the start of an undertaking. If you have changed your life the fool in the past this card normally appears. As an outsider, the fool in the past tarot position stands in contradiction to society's prevailing norms and values.

The Fool As Friendship Or Family  (Upright)

When it comes to friendship, the Fool tarot card shows up taking a chance on something new and acting "foolish." The Fool may point towards forming a new friendship rather than letting go of an old or unfulfilling one. A Fool also suggests being open to new perspectives and willing to explore the unknown to make new connections. In regards to the family, and home life drawing this card can represent a new start but more importantly, if a member of the family acted "foolish" it is important to forgive in the fact of conflict.

The Fool in the Reversed Position

When the Fool appears in the reversed position it indicates that some of the choices that are currently being made are fool hardy. For example in a work situation, you do not want to just drop your job just because the Fool arrives. You want to look for other opportunities and pursue them while also making sure that you are handling yourself in a productive way that goes along with current economic situations. Yes, quit your job when you have pursued a new job that makes you feel more satisfied, but do not by any means jump on one opportunity alone and then let go of everything else.

The reversed position of the fool stands for being overly ambitious, to the extent that you take advantage of others, or lie to get ahead. These behaviors are counter the energy of the Fool who wants you to be happy and carefree, not riddle yourself with more problems by being indiscrete or thoughtless in your actions. Consider what entanglements you are bringing into your experience by trying to get ahead too fast.

The Fool, when in the reversed position, is still a fresh and inspiring card, filled with wonder for new beginnings and carrying a sense of adventure. The Fool, having no context in the world around him cares not whether he is upright or upside down, for no matter what there is a journey to be had and there is a sense of freedom and spontaneous exploration. That being said, when this card is in reverse, there is a caution to be had as well.

Reversed Fool In Love

For new relationships, the Fool appearing in this position can indicate a slow start to a relationship. It really is the card of jumping into something too soon. For established romantic relationships or marriage, it can indicate impulsiveness and a need to stop and smell the roses and to check in on responsibility in life. 

Reversed Fool In Feelings

I always find readings about how they feel and then the fool appears indicates a sort of immature feeling towards the relationship. I am not going to lie, I do think this is a good card, but very much focused on those feelings of starting out. You know, starting out to be good, starting out to bring something to the table in love. 

Reversed Fool In Family Life

When you’re focusing on home or family life, the Fool reversed indicates a need to shake up routine. Consider how you are being too rigid regarding family members or where you may be spending too much. If there are home projects happening, the Fool reversed indicates that these will be completed successfully, but slower than expected. 

Reversed Fool In Work and Finance

Unless you’re considering a new position, the Fool card in all forms can be a warning card concerning finances and work. Not known for being grounded, the Fool upright can indicate needing more experience to get the desired position or not taking oneself seriously. In the reversed position, to me, it shows a person trying hard in the areas of job or money, but someone that is not getting the results they want. 

Reversed Fool In Health and Wellness

I do find this card is positive when it comes to health. I often see this card appear when something new is coming. The Fool in any position is about the journey and even when reversed represents an active journey, movement (usually forward but slower when this card is reversed) and a time of high activity. In the reversed position, the Fool tells you to focus on stress reduction and open your mind to new ways to look for things. Now is a good time to hold off on risk taking, cautioning against starting a new fitness routine.

Reversed Fool In Spirituality

When you see the Fool reversed and are asking about your well being, you need to understand that you can’t force faith. Now is a time to rely on your intuition. You may have a sense of missing something, and if this is the case, trust this feeling.

The Nine Of Words Tarot Card Meaning

When the Nine of Swords becomes present in your reading there is an experience in your life that you are going to need to analyze very carefully.

Focus on your priorities and keep moving. This card is representative of ill tidings coming your way. Sometimes life throws us curveballs that exist for the purpose of giving us the experience of working through the problems that they create and this is the case for you at this time. Often this card is depicting some kind of loss that has thrown you completely off of your normal routine.

The image that is depicted in the Rider-Waite deck shows a woman waking up in the dead of night in despair. Her head is in her hands and there are nine heavy swords hanging over her head. This is symbolic of loss, suffering and sometimes misery or oppression. This card could be symbolic of a loss of a loved one either in an end in a relationship or a death. When you have gotten this card in your reading you will need to take a step back emotionally and take a look at your situations as they currently are.

If you are experiencing this level of loss and you are right in the middle of grieving this could be hard to do. But this card tells you that it is important for you to keep focused on your end goal primarily because for one thing it will help with your grief and for another you will find that even though this is a difficult time, much growth will come as a result of you having the strength to keep on moving. You will definitely need to prioritize because you will not be able to take on very much right now, so what you do take on needs to be gentle and easy for you to handle. When you prioritize then you are giving the pain something positive to transform into, and often times pain and suffering can be excellent motivations. You need a distraction that will help you get through your grief. Immerse yourself totally and trust that you know what you need to do to succeed. At this point, the higher mind can take the wheel, and you should allow it to. Healing is found when one connects to their higher source energy.

Right now the combination that can be found in Knowledge and in Wisdom should be treated as interrelated. You cannot carry out a responsibility without the knowledge necessary to do so and you can’t be truly informed or knowledgeable on anything without the assistance of responsibility. There is a copasetic relationship here that cannot be denied. At this point in the Suit of Swords, you must take the responsibility inherent in the Knowledge that is at your fingertips so that you might get through this devastating time unscathed.

The time to fine-tune your personal philosophy and set goals for this lifetime is now. Even though it may be difficult to do so, there is nothing healthier for you at this time then to focus on improving yourself in life. Take the time now to consider how you are putting yourself down and being counterproductive, what is causing you suffering at this time? What is causing you to be depressed?

The Nine of Swords in Love

This is just a time in your life that you have to learn to figure out what you need to do. You have been so devastated by a loss in the past, or with a mistake that you have made that you cannot possibly fathom how you can ever be free to pursue something right and good ever again. Therefore you are stunted and you continue to attract those that are not good for you, they take advantage, they cheat and lie and betray you. This is a cycle that is feeding on itself because you have not healed from the grief of this big loss in your past. If you unravel the pain from your past, then you will be able to experience true happiness in the future.

The 9 swords in love can mean that someone has suddenly come to a realization in love and that they are suffering greatly in their love life. This card can mean the subconscious mind is working over-time and that they are worried about getting too carried away with someone. Another interpretation is that someone likes playing games, they like the chase and the early part of relationships. Even the on/off of how relationships pan out. If the situation is comfortable then one of the partners might get too bored. It could mean the end of a relationship as one or both parties are not in the real frame of mind. The 9 of swords in love can also indicate a breakup, or someone likes sexual or psychological pain. They use control and abuse to get what they need and want in life.

Also, a sense of fear to some degree, maybe they are scared to have any relationship with anyone due to being hurt.  It could mean this person has deep feelings even, but cannot do anything because they are not ready for a real relationship, or that they don’t see any happiness around spending time with you only stress.

The Nine of Swords in Health

The Nine of Swords in health describes a time of depression. You have experienced grief, and then grief grabbed a hold of you and is sucking you dry slowly. Instead of taking the time that is necessary to grieve and then move on, you have instead become addicted to the doldrums sadness that came from that loss. You are reliving it on a regular basis. The first item of business for you is to recognize that you are perpetuating a cycle, and then once you have done that then you must begin to take action that is going to get you out of the house, to try to pursue new activities. Clean your house, do a house cleansing using salt and sage. Sage will clear out the negative energies and the salt will absorb it. You need to cleanse yourself and all that is around you so that you may begin anew.

Reversed Meaning - Nine Of Swords

The 9 of swords reversed in a spread can mean that problems that you are experiencing are real and since you can’t directly attack them you are taking out your anger and resentment on yourself and others. You are being stubborn, incapable of flexibility as well as overly fixed in your beliefs. Be patient and believe in yourself at this time, for you have won. Trust that good news is on its way and take care not to rush anything.

Remember not to be too hard on yourself. The 9 of swords indicate that there is dedication in life and that you have inner cruelty. The nine shows an alleviation of the pressure. It can suggest that a sense of hope may return. More importantly, that healing is underway. I often feel the 9 of swords reversed is like a sun rising and that the sub-conscious can recover after a difficult time. Everyone must face the fear of rejection and overcoming problems and the stakes are high when this card is drawn. The 9 of swords indicate the turmoil, unworthiness, and guilt are to go into the foreground to never return.

Reversed the 9 of swords in love can suggest feeling happier in your love life - but it will only be temporary.

If there is a relationship that you are questioning it can indicate things are going to be concluded, even hidden secrets revealed. The card can also mean that you have suffered stress in relationships and they are not safe and secure. The suffering of love can not mean that things are over so don't worry if you have just started out on this love path. Sometimes grief from past relationships can sometimes haunt us and this could be why this card arose.

It is important to be adaptable and versatile. Now is the time to act spontaneously, give yourself time to be like the Chameleon and change your colors to match your environment.
