There is a duality in the Two of Wands that refers to doing a job well and then seeing the benefits.

The Three of Pentacles is a very symbolic card representing a coming together or a union that is both beneficial and necessary. Three has always been a magic number of sorts. Like the Holy Trinity, it is often a spiritual representation of forces that are similar yet different coming together and working as a completed whole. If you take one aspect away from the whole then the task at hand will be done poorly and will lack the purpose that was intended.

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.

Base needs are now being met and positive changes are happening.

When the Four of Swords appears in your reading your ability to negotiate circumstances that are not to your liking is magnified tenfold. You are a flexible person; you wish to have a commitment in you life that stays in balance, which is not fluid. A knight lies in effigy upon his tomb. His hands are folded together in a prayer. This is symbolic of a time of peace after war, the necessity to contemplate one’s future moves.

Oh no, it’s the Devil card! Don’t worry, it’s not all brimstone and evil… generally the Devil represents very human aspects, rather than supernatural ones. The Devil card is the perversion of everything good, spiritual, and whole. It shows that there are unhealthy aspects in your life that you are likely ignoring.
