In my view, the Three of Pentacles is a very symbolic card representing a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary. Often this card comes up regarding unions or having to work together with ones that you don’t especially want to be associated with. It can indicate needing to compromise or needing to plan.

If you have received the Five of Swords in your reading, then you are experiencing evidence at this time that you are having a hard time communicating your ideas to others. Anything that is not vocally communicated is painstaking and speculative and is an unhealthy waste of your time. This is the card that is known for ‘writing stories’ in your head that don’t really exist in real life. Really what is happening is you are feeling self-conscious, and you have come up with reasons in your mind to believe that others are out to get you.

If you have received the Knight of Swords in your reading, then there are many assertive energies that are encircling you at this time. This card tends to be symboli9c of the ‘Knight in Shining Armor,’ rushing in to save the ‘Damsel in Distress.’ This is because there is no one better to come in and rescue you after a time of trouble, then a Knight. He will defend you to the ends of the Earth if necessary.

The Devil card is the perversion of everything good, spiritual, and whole. It shows that there are unhealthy aspects of your life that you are likely ignoring. In this card, you will find the same two people from the Lovers card now chained to the pedestal on top of which the devil sits.

In the Rider Waite Tarot, the Pages are known for young people. Sometimes they are called the Princes or Princesses of the Deck, primarily because they are referring to those people or experiences that are brand new and usually lacking in the sometimes frustrating world experience that can inhibit one’s ability to be creative individuals. This card is symbolic of the fluctuating energies that flow through all of us, but especially when we are young. The age of this card, doesn’t so much refer to the physical age of a human being.

The King of Cups is like the King of Cool. He is a great card in a reading when you are seeking ways to express yourself emotionally or having to accept aspects (or people) in your life that you would rather not.

The Eight of Cups can be a very hard card to have in a reading. From the looks of the card itself, you can get the feeling of loss. A man walks through stagnated water and is leaving the cups behind him. The water around you right now is stagnant like that which the person in the card walks through.

The Eight of Pentacles gives you a taste of success but reminds you that you can’t have what you want overnight. There is a goal in sight for you right now and you are on the right path – learning new tricks, creating healthy environments around you, and otherwise doing what you can to succeed. The Eight of Pentacles is a reminder not to give up and to continue on the path that you are on now.

The Queen and counterpart for the King of Wands represents for you a time of sensitivity and awareness, of self discovery and passion of spirit as well as the awakening of who you are on a deep, internal level. When you receive this card there is an extenuating and developing love of home as well as the intense appreciation of nature. You have a magnetic personality that attracts those to you who also have a desire to be connected to nature and have a fiery desire to create an exceptional life.

The Hermit card is often very much underestimated. He’s the underdog of the tarot that when viewed invokes a reaction from readers and querents alike. Often he is not welcome and that’s just sad. The Hermit doesn’t hide from people; he merely likes to live life on his own terms. He has chosen to retreat into solitude above all of the madness of society. He 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 a complete happiness.
