The Knight of Wands

 
 
 

The Knight of Wands appears galloping on his horse wielding a wand partially in bloom.

When this Knight arrives in your life, be prepared for someone to present new concepts or ideas that will be helpful and inspiring to you. When this card represents you, you can expect for many changes to be coming your way. He inspires your built in creativity and he asks that you put it into motion. When this card appears in a reading, there is going to be a start or a finish of something important that you have been working on or you might have a change in residence. Suddenly you will have a very a strong inclination to make decisions that have been pending for a long time. You have the ability to accomplish anything that you put your mind to in this phase of your existence therefore do not limit yourself. Push for mastery over your heart and mind.

You feel like cleaning house, with a burning desire to be hyper organized. No amount of left over clutter is going to be acceptable. You need a clean slate, so you will be inclined to improve aspects of your living situation as well as the conditions in your place of work. You are ready to try new things, experiment with different kinds of work or with different projects just for the sheer value of acquiring the experience. Try not to be too hasty however; this card encourages you to move not to destroy your life. Use caution, but get moving. The Knight of Wands channels Higher Source energy for you so that you may be inspired to accomplish a great many things.

The image that the Knight of Wands evokes is that of a handsome young person galloping across the lands. There are three pyramids in the distance, which is symbolic of adventure and experiencing unknown lands. All over his clothing, you will find salamanders biting their tail; this is a long-standing and ancient symbol of the circle of life, of infinity and the unknowable magic of the ages. Salamanders are known to be fire elementals because they can resist tremendous heat. The presence of the Knight evokes the fierce protection of the salamander as you go through this transit of mighty creativity. The Knight of Wands, a warrior filled with energy, rides by your side.

This time for creative introspection prompts you to ask yourself how you are growing and changing in this moment. In what ways do you process the lessons presented to you every day? Do you ignore them? Do you embrace them? Are you making changes to benefit yourself? This is a time of risk-taking as well. Look inside yourself, verify whether or not you are stuck in a funk or afraid of making changes, or if you are trying to push yourself to make all that you can of your life while you live it?

If you have wondered whether or not now is the time to go back to school or start a new trade, the Knight of Wands supports this decision. Now is the time to become a student of growth, religion, enlightenment. Spend time with enthusiastic people who will inspire you to take action.

The Knight of Wands in Love

Physically this card usually represents a person who is new to puberty, often times a man, with blond hair and blue or hazel eyes. He can represent a friend or a lover, depending on the context of the reading. If he does represent a person, one might be cautious to question whether or not the timing is right for you to be romantically involved with someone who is hasty and sometimes over-reactive and occasionally cruel. This person has a lot of good qualities, but one must consider what the right thing is for you while traversing this territory that the Knight of Wands has set aside for you. Adventuring outwards and finding someone new to love if you are single is an excellent way to start. Nothing will make you feel more risk-taking and adventurous then the pursuit of a new love.

The Knight of Wands in Health

The Knight of Wands in health often presents itself when you are having health questions where you are stuck in a certain level of indecision. The Knight tells you that you must take action now in order to improve your health. This card signifies desire, action and forward motion. Therefore if this card shows up in your reading about health, then you must take action to get yourself out of your depressed mindset or if you have two decisions staring at you about a procedure or a way to be, the Knight tells you that any action moving forward will be the right decision for you. Stagnation is unhealthy in all forms. If you are not sure what to do, the Knight is assuring you that the answer will present itself very soon. In the mean time, ‘Act as if,’ you are healthy. Get outside, take a walk, and get your paperwork filed. The more action that you take, the sooner the right information will come to you.

The Knight of Wands in Work and Wealth;

Money and new opportunities are swiftly on their way to you. The Knight brings with him change and passion. If you are in a work situation that makes you feel creatively stimulated, then you are in the right place and will financially thrive. If you are in a work situation that makes you feel unhappy and stagnate then the Knight is telling you that now is the time to consider other options. Do not just quit your job, plan for another one that will get you out of this rut that you are in. He supports you in this process.

Reversed Knight of wands

Reversed Knight Of Wands

When the Knight of Wands is presenting itself in the reversed position in your reading this means that you are feeling very insecure with yourself. You feel as though your boundaries are being threatened, that you are living a monotonous existence that lacks in abundance and creativity. You are afraid to reveal your true feelings and are therefore stuck in a situation that you feel you are incapable of getting out of. This is a position of non-movement. What you want to happen is not happening because you have allowed yourself to get stuck thinking that you have no power and no control. The best way to get out of this is to practice coming through for yourself. Decide one thing a day that you will accomplish, and then accomplish it. This will increase desire for change and will unbury you from all that you have not accomplished. The Knight wishes to free you from all that burdens you.

The Hermit

 
 
 

The Hermit Tarot Card Meaning

The Hermit card is often very much underestimated in my tarot experience. I call this the underdog of the tarot that when in a spread and invokes a reaction from readers and querents alike. Often this card is not welcome and that’s just sad.

The Hermit doesn’t hide from people; but merely likes to live life on their own terms. The Hermit is some decks is male and in my deck she is female. She has chosen to retreat into solitude above all of the madness of society. She beckons you to turn your view inward and allow yourself the time and space to think, feel, and meditate on what it is that you truly want in and from your life. By doing this you will be able to unlock your true desires and find complete happiness.

The Hermit looks to be standing on his or her (in my card) own surrounded by nothing and holding only a lamp. Look more closely at the card and you will note that she is standing ready to move to the mountain. These are the very same mountains that symbolize monetary issues or stability in the Rider-Waite deck. His lantern is not to guide his own way, for he’s already where he wants to be. It is there to guide you to him or to his location. Now is a time to advance past trivialities in your life and focus on what really matters. It is not a damning card indicating seclusion, but rather a hopeful card showing you that there is a way to find solutions to your answers if you know the right questions to ask.

The Hermit card in your reading sometimes shows that there is a need for healing and understanding in your life. It is a very personal and spiritual card that shows you that you are not alone right now even if you feel that way. If you are going through a time of loss, feeling insecure or incomplete now is the time to embrace those feelings not as negative aspects but as empowering life-affirming experiences. It is easy to feel abandoned at certain times in one’s life as people can be let down by expectations placed on others, society, or the world. Consider who has let you down or disappointed you and left you feeling as you are.

Do not wallow in this feeling and do not allow it to eat at you. The Hermit has chosen to walk away from it all not for her disdain for mankind, but rather she was seeking answers and understanding through solitude and taking herself away from materialistic possessions. Now is a good time to pick up the book Walden by Ralph Waldo Emerson, grab a cup of tea, cozy up in your favorite chair and embrace the times that you have when you are on your own. Focus on the own inner quiet of your existence and check in on your true self.

The Hermit in Love

The Hermit may be alone standing on top of the mountain looking down at you, but this does not mean that you must do the same. In fact, the Hermit card is a sign for you to take stock in what you have going on in your life’s relationships that are good and revel in them. Rather than focusing on what you WANT now is a time to focus on what you need from love. Knowledge is power and you have the power to get what you want out of life through your relationships.

Since the Hermit card represents focusing on the positive aspects of your life, it may show up in your love reading as a suggestion to stop trying too hard. In a relationship that is rocky for example, the Hermit often advises to take a step back and allow arguments or disputes between two people to die down and to focus on what you brought you together in the first place. Allow yourself to go back to the basics of love and feel them again in retrospect. It is likely that you will find that the arguments in your relationship are not the root of the problem. Often there are outside issues that destroy our relationships such as work stress and finances. Put those issues aside for the time being and focus on the true connection between the two of you.

If you are looking for love and this card comes up it can have one of two meanings. The first is a representation of your lonely feeling by not being in a relationship. The other is a representation of needing to take a break from your search and focus on yourself for a while and allow for love to find its way to you. Maybe consider taking a break from dating and taking up a hobby. Find things in life that truly satisfy you and through those avenues, you will likely find what you are looking for.

The Hermit As Feelings

As feelings, this card can also suggest deeply buried feelings or emotional coldness. If you are asking someone's feelings for you this card can suggest they are finding the time to really look inside before making a decision on you.

By shining the light on the card, this is positive. It is showing they are thinking about their feelings and life's direction, the hermit understands where their feelings lie. Rather than determining if they like you or love you, you need to figure out where the relationship is headed. For those starting new romances this is a positive card.

As his feelings for you, the Hermit card says he is feeling a sense of aloneness, of being alone to figure out what he wants. 

If you pulled this card for her feelings towards you then she clearly has her lantern in hand, seeking  knowledge to understand the future of love. 

The Hermit As Love Recognition

The Hermit tarot card for love recognition is a great card to pull, it is a symbol of being alone to figure out what you want from love. The Hermit in my view places emphasis on empowering and formative solitude that allows the individual to heal old wounds and develop new aspects of personality and skill. 

The Hermit, to me, is a card of weeping in darkness and feeling frustrated by the difficult times, the Hermit is a sign that “space” is needed in this relationship. I don't want to be all doom and gloom but the hermit tarot card represents being alone and understanding within oneself and allows us to move past any pain or conflict if it appears in a love reading. 

The Hermit in Health

For some true happiness is found simply by following the initial advice of the Hermit card. So many of us are busy day in and day out that worry and stress literally eat us from the inside out. It can be hard to find joy in the simple things as you drive your child to soccer practice after a long day in the office only to get home and cook dinner and finally plop down exhausted wondering where the day has gone. The card in your reading can be a sign that you are doing too much to the extent that you are at risk of health issues and concerns. Exceedingly high levels of stress and pressure can also cause health problems.

Consider taking time for yourself to find your own center and balance. You may want to invest in a low-level fitness program to rejuvenate your mind and body. Daily walks, time to meditate, and time to reflect is important to your mental health at this time. Do not take your own health for granted. You are not expendable.

The Hermit in Work, Money, Business, Career, and Wealth

You may find that you are at a point in your life where you question what everything means. Consider that perhaps you really are running in circles and getting nowhere and it is time to take a new direction in your life. The hermit is also searching for something and is connected to how we reflect "work"in life. This could be inner search for self-confidence or in taking a new step career-wise. In essence, this card often appears when we need to be alone to think. The hermit could in some cases represent unemployment or self-employment for a period of time - in order to reflect what you really wish to do in life.

Money can certainly be the root of all evil if you let it. Consider if you are putting too much focus on money or work at this time. Often this card will come up when a person is feeling desperate to find a job. It’s easy to say that money is not important when you have it. As the hermit relates to Virgo which is the 5th house, this represents employment, it might be time to start a new business? But, you have to find your own way with the light.

The best way to learn to trust your own wisdom is to take a leap of faith and go for it. Depending on your situation, this may mean pushing forward - but it more often refers to taking time out. Remember the sturdiest homes are built on solid foundations. Lay the groundwork before acting, the results will be more fruitful and longer-lasting. 

The Hermit As Action/Advice

The Hermit for advice or action is about disconnecting from the noise of life and instead turning inward, to one's true path. You may not find answers in others or their words; but use the light of the lantern and look only within yourself can you seek out an understanding that will lead your journey towards spiritual growth. 

The Hermit Yes Or No

The Hermit does not deal in yes or no, it can be frustrating to draw a card like this here because it does not point with any certainty to one way or the other. However, just because this card is not a firm answer, it doesn’t mean it lacks guidance. In fact, this card is a big signifier of intelligence and intuition, it is saying trust your gut.

The Hermit As A Person

Hermits are complex and hidden people, often feeling conflicted and helpless when faced with inner problems. As a person they protect themselves from the unknown, preferring instead to be quite. It is difficult for many people to gain clarity about anything when confronted with a Hermit, since these individuals tend to be lost in their own spiritual selves; only by offering patience to yourself and others can one ultimately escape any situation.

The Hermit In Past Position

A time from your past; a quiet point, away from the day-to-day bustle of life and instead meditative, reflective, full of contemplation and inner discovery. You learned many things about yourself in this period, perhaps you spent time studying for a new skill or qualification. 

The Hermit In Present Position

Don’t let your self-doubt stop you from taking this journey of self-discovery on your own, and don’t be swayed by the people who say no is the key message, even  in the chaotic world.If you draw this in the present it can mean that you need time. Time to understand what is going on and how best to focus on your future.

The Hermit In Future and Outcome Position

There is going to be a quite time in the future this is what this card means. It represents a journey that you must take to go within yourself in order to understand what is important. It indicates that something is going to end (which needed to) and you need time to decide that or reflect on it.

The Hermit As Friendship Or Family

Friendship is based on a foundation of genuine connection, not doing things for show. This card is a sign that either you, or one of your friends, is in need of some personal space.

The Hermit Tarot Card Reversed

Reversed Hermit in a Reading

The reversed Hermit indicates a dire situation in the extreme; usually representing of someone so far gone off their path that they may be best just wiping their hands clean of a situation and starting over completely. The light of wisdom is snuffed out, the path obscured, and hope gone the Hermit is alone and doesn’t know where to turn. When this card shows in the reversed position it is very important to look to the other surrounding cards for cues as to which way to go to get out of the current situation. The reversed position can also indicate seeking outside counsel or turning your introspection to those around you.

The Hermit Reversed - Love and Romance

When the Hermit card appears in a love reading reversed, it typically means that we are seeking an answer to a messy situation, but don’t know which way to choose. The Hermit can represent someone who is alone and feeling spiritually isolated from others. On my card, you will see she is holding a lantern, this means that the hermit is the “wise guide” or teacher, leading you towards answers while keeping some distance, I also want to add this card could be interpreted in our relationships when we feel that something isn’t quite right yet don’t want to let go of it completely.

The Hermit reversed - Family and Home

There is beauty in solitude, but when taken too far it turns into isolation and can generate selfish emotions. Seeing The Hermit reversed regarding family and the home usually suggests you have taken your solitude too far. We all need time alone, but, especially within the family, there must be community and shared experience, as well. You have an important role to play in your family, you need to support your loved ones and show them your affection (just like they do for you). 

The Hermit Reversed - Work and Finances

While upright The Hermit is all about independence, reversed, it is about not being afraid to ask for help when you need it. There are few times where guidance and mentorship are more beneficial than in work and finances, it is here that leaders can truly lead you to new exciting lands. Ask for help and you’ll reap the rewards, just like an autumn harvest after a warm summer.

When we reverse the Hermit tarot card, it almost always indicates more of a negative outcome, either that something will not happen or that further guidance needs to be found. It could represent the need for caution while taking risks related to your money or career. 

The Hermit Reversed - Health and Wellness

Something has delayed when I see this card. This card is rarely a sign of anything serious to worry about, instead, you should take it as an indication that you need to freshen things up. Try and find a balance between things that you enjoy and things that are good for you (don’t ever forget it’s possible to achieve both, balance lies at the heart of all life). 

The Hermit Reversed - Personal Spirituality

It’s good to expose yourself to the wisdom and experiences of others as this can be spiritually enriching too. Remember that our learning on this earth is never done, so keep your mind and heart open. This means for you, if you draw this as a personality or your own path, be confident, but not arrogant.

The Ten of Cups

 
 
 

The Ten of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

When you have received the Ten of Cups in your reading, you are about to step into a very fortunate part of your life.

When you have received this card, you can know that everything you are wondering about or wanting is going to come into fruition for you. This means that you have nothing to worry about. Whether this is regarding love or a relationship, work and money or family, the subject of your reading will be blessed.

The image that is present on the card itself in the Rider Waite deck shows a young couple jumping up and down and dancing with their children on a beautiful and sunny blue sky day. The rainbow signifies the passing of a storm. The worst is over, and now is the time to revel in the beauty left behind. Often times this card signifies a respectful nod to you from the Universe for making the most out of what you had to deal with. You were able to keep up with your work, and your focus, even though everything was dark and grey. You were able to keep yourself going, protecting yourself and your loved ones and ticking away at your goals. And now the clouds have parted and you are able to see the sun shining.

The whole transit that surrounds you at this time is joyful. There is a lasting happiness that is going to come from pushing through your adversities and the happiness that is coming your way is inspired from above instead from sensual pleasures previously referred to in the Nine of Cups. There is a perfection of human love and great friendship. Now is the time for you to connect to other people, to be a social butterfly and in home life to stabilize and focus on the home because the hearth is an extremely important aspect of this card.

Pay attention to your own intuition at this time, be spontaneous, listen to the beat of your heart and you will have the fulfillment that you desire and a deep connection to emotional satisfaction. At this time you will begin to feel the actualization of your personal hopes and dreams. Suddenly all of the doors are open for you; the world is full of YES. Inner peace is within your reach. There is even a possibility of travel if you play your cards right and accept some of the advantages that are being presented to you. Be open to opportunity and take advantage as often as you can to the blessings that the Universe provides. The passion that is within you is where your fortune is, therefore the more that you listen to what makes you feel a strong passion, the faster you will receive your intuitive and genius ideas that will bring you success.

You also have the ability to bring that joy that you have pushing forward to everyone around you. Your family and the people that are close to you are important to have around. Especially with such a familial card it is very important that you are around those that nurture you and who you nurture. There is a reciprocal relationship within you and your connections that needs to be strengthened at this time because there is so much abundance in this area.

Continue to maintain your individuality even when you are around others, as this is an excellent opportunity for you to learn how to still stay you. In this you will be emotionally secure and stable, and life continues to be rich and meaningful. Now is the time to contemplate how you are living in harmony with others in your environment, and if there is anything that feels amiss, you have the spiritual backing to help you through it. Consider where you would like to find joy, and what good there is in existence already as well as what you want in the future. If you don’t have a family but would like to start one, now is the time to present to the Universe all of the ideas and goals that you have in your mind because success will follow for you.

The Ten Of Cups Reversed

Reversed Ten of Cups in a reading

When the Ten of Cups is showing up reversed in your spread, you have a highly charged situation happening that is making you feel burned out. This happens when you allow yourself to turn emotionally inward instead of putting words out there where others can hear them. Internalization of problems, of frustrations, can only ever make it worse. You are going to need to find a way to express yourself to those you feel have wronged you otherwise you are going to get stuck in a stagnate place. Denying who you are and your inner self is not going to get you anywhere. The rainbow of this card represents a promise for you, but you have to work on making the promise that is presented, actually happen. Be clear about your dreams if you want them to exist.

Love and Romance - The Ten of Cups Reversed

The ten of cups reversed in love readings can mean that you need to take a risk to move forward with a relationship but you are not quite ready. In relationships, it is not uncommon for this card to appear when you need to avoid a final decision. There may be a lack of growth in your mental acceptance of the relationship. You could possibly choose to start over with someone else.

The Ten of Cups reversed unbalances the harmonious meaning attached to this card when upright, unfortunately, that doesn’t bode well for a love and romance reading. It infers a difficult period within a relationship or a dearth of commitment. Now is the time to take stock in your relationship and decide if this is really what you both want; be honest with yourself, remember that comfort and familiarity are not strong enough reasons to stick together. In some instances, this card points to issues not relating directly to relationships itself, for example, this could be a reference to difficulty conceiving or disagreements over having children. 

If you are not in a relationship at present, this card highlights the struggle you are experiencing in finding a committed partner. It often appears when a person is repeating past mistakes or unduly holding onto a past relationship they need to move on from. If this sounds like you, you should take the time to fully understand your issues and how you can address them. Doing so will make any future relationships stronger and less volatile. 

Ten of Cups Reversed - Family and Home

When you draw the Ten of Cups reversed in a family and home reading you are likely experiencing familial tensions or going through a period of difficulty. Whatever your particular situation, there is a sense of unease between you and other family members. This generally happens when family members fall out of step with each other; remember that you are all on the same side. Even when bitterness is buried under your interactions, the love you have for each other goes even deeper still. Relieve yourself from this period of tension by learning to compromise. Especially in domestic situations, it can become easy to get wrapped up in stubbornness or digging your heels in. Lead by example and the rest of the family is sure to lessen their grip on conflict and head towards resolution instead.

Ten of Cups Reversed - Work and Finances

When doing a work and finance spread, the presence of the Ten of Cups reversed suggests something is off balance in your career. You, or someone you work with, isn’t behaving like a team player. There may be outward arguments and conflict or the resentment may be simmering below the surface. Either way, you need to find a way to either salve or leave the situation. If you can restore balance in your work scenario that’s great, but if you can’t then you should remove yourself from it. In a financial context, this card when reversed is an indication of reckless spending or unstable income.
