3 Card Tarot Reading

The Nine Of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Nine of Pentacles is a card of sacrifice and discipline as a means to getting what you want.

When this card is revealing in your reading you are in good hands. The Nine of Pentacles shows that unlike others, you have learned from your own mistakes and you are working on moving forward in your life. Right now is an excellent time to be making plans to complete goals, rather than to be starting on something new. Take the time now to reap what you have sown and to watch the positive materialize.

Often we mere mortals will finish a task and then move on to the next without a thought of consequences. This is not a time that you want to do that because the Nine of Pentacles usually represents positive rewards coming your way. As you may know 3 is a magic number. It is the number of the divine; a blessed digit. With the Nine it is the manifestation of 3, threefold (3x3=9) and it shows an array of good fortune for you.

The culmination of your heard work has come to a head and it is time to celebrate! It is also a great time for family, coming together, and planning events. You may want to celebrate with others or even show off your hard work a little bit. You never know, you may have some information to be sharing with people soon as well since this is a good card for fertility and family! Much good energy comes from this card and now is the time to dwell upon the possibilities that are being created and assert your focus into the positive areas of your life. Do not dwell in the past when the present has so much to offer!

The Nine of Pentacles in Love

Focus on the contacts that you have already made when looking for love. When the Nine of Pentacles is present, it is likely that love is around the corner and that sparks are already flying. Whether in a relationship or not, connections at this time or strong and there are great opportunities for growth and positive natural change in romance. The Nine of Pentacles is a vibrant card with astounding energy. Now is the time to cultivate relationships of all kinds and bring them to fruition within the direction that you are hoping for. If you find that you are feeling down or left out in love, often all you need to do is to look around. Sometimes when things are dark, it’s easy to focus on the negative and ignore what you already have. Don’t downplay your emotions at this time. Speak up and act out in order to get what you want.

The Nine of Pentacles in Health

The Nine of Pentacles brings good news for health, especially if you have been working on a health concern (like losing weight, controlling blood pressure, etc.) or concerned about a need for healing (such as recovering from surgery or after an injury). The Nine of Pentacles is a strong card for the strength of mind and body and says that now there are energies that are helping you along. The time is right for increased stamina and you may want to use this to your advantage. Continue working on your positive efforts and you will see rewards!

The Nine of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

The man on the Nine of Pentacles card is tending his garden and noticing what is growing forth from whence he planted. There are pleasant feelings surrounding the card denoted by the yellow background and the thriving plant before him. Like the man on the card, this is a good time for you regarding both career and money. With money specifically, the card often accompanies a windfall of sorts, again from an investment, or simply finding money that you had forgotten that you had. It’s not money from nowhere and is usually associated with your earning of the funds in some way. Now would be a good time to go through your portfolio… or even your couch cushions… to find unexpected strains of income. Concerning work, the Nine of Pentacles tells you that you are doing a number of things right. First, you seem to have been working hard in your job or career and when this card is present it is likely that someone with power or status has taken notice of your efforts. It is a reminder card that you are on the right track for job development. Continue moving forward and that attention will be considered in some way that rewards you.

The Nine Of Pentacles in the Reversed Position

Reversed Nine of Pentacles in a reading

When the Nine of Pentacles is revealed in the reversed position the news is not all bad. There is still good news to be had for you… if only you are willing to work for it. Unfortunately, those that don’t heed the warning of the Nine of Pentacles in the reversed position end up missing out on a missed opportunity in their life that they will likely kick themselves about later. Typically when the card comes up it is telling you that there are chances that you are missing by not being active enough or initiating the proper channels to get what you want. For example, in love… if you are looking for love then you are either looking in the wrong place or not taking a direct enough action to catch the eye of someone special. In work, there is likely to be an opportunity for advancement but you need to shine! Be mindful of chances around you right now and fight the urge to be lazy right now. Your window of opportunity won’t be there forever!

The Seven of Cups Tarot Card Meaning

The Seven of Cups shows up when you least expect it.

Things are going fine in your life, you seem to be on the right path and then… BAM! Suddenly you are faced with a choice and that choice really does come out of the blue. The choice that you are faced with or will be soon is one that will throw you for a loop and one in which you will feel torn between two really good or possible really bad choices. It’s one of those choices where there doesn’t really seem to be a good choice, but you are faced with a fork in the road and you have to choose.

The test that you could be coming to could be a real test to your relationships or work. It can result from a mistake that is made but one that you don’t even think will be an issue until it is already made. It’s not something that you can be told, “Watch where you step.” The symbolism on the card also shows a man with many choices in front of him but you will notice that the cups that are representing the choices are floating amidst the clouds. The background color of teal is a representation of spirituality. This Seven of Cups will often represent being a dreamer or wishful thinking. Once you are faced with your decision you need to be careful that you are looking at the whole picture. Avoid building your plans on a poor foundation and make sure that you focus on the best aspects of your life.

That may sound a little vague; however, you have to realize that it can indicate many different avenues in your life. There are a lot of options ahead of you and you will find that you are not limited to one choice in one area. What is coming for you is going to be like multiple doorways and you need to take all aspects of your life into account.

The Seven of Cups in Love

Because of the options before you, in love this can be a great card or a highly confusing one. In a relationship it can indicate having a new choice come along and disrupting the flow of your current relationship. If you are looking for love it can indicate that options (usually highly unexpected ones) coming your way. It’s an overall positive card regarding increased chances, reconnecting with older interests, and new faces coming your way. Out of all the cups the seven is about dreaming of a romance. It can represent the fact that as an outcome this represents the next step in love. This can be a “wish card” but could mean you will get what you want but it is just an illusion.

The Seven of Cups in Health

The Seven of Cups can act as a warning that you need to be paying better attention to your health. With all that is going on in your life it is likely that you have overextended yourself or haven’t been paying attention to smaller health concerns that could turn out to be larger concerns if you continue to ignore them. Rest assured, typically it is not a dangerous card for health so long as the warning is not ignored. The Seven of Cups tells you that it is better safe than sort when it comes to health and wellness.

The Seven of Cups in Work and Wealth

When dealing with issues of work and finance with the Seven of Cups you can trust that there are a lot of good things ahead for you. Because the nature of your question is more grounded, the card usually has more positive meanings for you. With the card it indicates possibilities opening up for you that usually are in your best interest when it comes to finance. The one caveat is that you need to be mindful of where you place your trust right now.

The Seven of Cups In The Reversed Position

In the reversed position the Seven of Cups indicates the opposite of the upright meaning and can often lead a person feeling trapped or lacking options. There is a morose feeling associated to the reversed position of the Seven of Cups and when this card comes up in your reading you need to be highly mindful of the choices that you are making at this time. You want to be sure that you are taking all information into account in your life before deciding on which way to go. There is still a feel for a NEED for change, but in the reversed case there is not a clear avenue for that change to take place. Typically when the Seven of Cups comes up in the reversed position there will be excess worry or feelings of insecurity. Know that there is options present that you aren’t seeing. You may have to be creative in your solutions to find them. The seven of cups reversed in my view indicates that you are waking up from a situation. The card dictates that you or someone else will have clarity and in the past a "situation" has been hiding under illusions. Think of it like emerging from a clouded situation and now you can see the light.  This is a card of not knowing what to do in the past but now a decision can be made.

• Romantic alliance

Reversed Seven of Cups meanings in keywords

The Ten of Pentacles Tarot Card Meaning

The Ten of Pentacles is a card that shows a happiness that is a long time coming.

Often it will refer to retirement, planning for the future, or even lasting love. It can show immediate situations turning out well, but usually it focuses on what is in store for the long run. It can be a very difficult card in a reading because often when readings are done people are asking about current situations in love, work, health, or finances. The card itself though indicates that in the end, all will be well. You may not be in the best place currently. Your current relationship isn’t definitely going to be perfect. You may go through three or four more jobs until you find the right one for you. We know it sounds daunting, however keep in mind that currently… you, where you are now… you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. You are making choices that are good for you at this time that are getting you to a better road.

If you want to know more, say about specific “now” questions, then you definitely need to take the other cards into account in your reading. If you are asking about love for example, this card combined with another strong card about your current partner can show that there is a definite possibility for a future regarding love. Then again, if you are asking about when your finances will get better and you see the Ace of Coins reversed and other negative money cards then it can tell you that while you may not be winning the lotto any time soon, the choices that you are making for finances right now are ones that are going to pan out for you in the end.

The Ten of Pentacles is one of the more complicated cards in the deck because it requires that you have faith in yourself even if the outcome in the reading at the current problem is showing significant hurdles that you are going to have to overcome. You are responsible for you and your actions built upon future actions and lead to new choices for you on your path. The Ten of Pentacles card itself is indicative of a good outcome, but you must follow the rules. This is true of all tarot cards. If a card tells you that you are going to have a baby because you are working on having one presently but then a month later change your mind and thus your path and take a drastic step to prevent pregnancy, then that decision is on you. You can’t blame the cards and say it didn’t happen like it said it would.

With the Ten of Pentacles you need to work through any current issues that you have and realize that even through tough times, allows for the completion of a cycle and for a new one to begin. Life is constantly changing and be ready for the obstacles AND the celebrations ahead for you. You are building your future now, how it turns out is up to you. At least the Ten of Pentacles shows that someone up there is watching out for you and the Universe is rooting for you all the way! Go you!

The Ten of Pentacles in Love

It’s a 50/50 tossup when it comes to love and the Ten of Pentacles is present. As stated, the card needs to be read with the other conjoining cards to give you a clear answer on whether or not you are with your one true love or if your ex is going to be miserable without you. Without looking at anything else though, the Ten of Pentacles does indicate that you are on a path of growth and exploration in love and it is definitely possible that bad or good, that you at least DO have someone out there that is for you.

The Ten of Pentacles in Health

The Ten of Pentacles focuses on the future and in this regard, it’s a good sign for health. Since the card fixates on the long term, later in life, and the proverbial ‘golden years’ it’s a good sign that you are going to be around to see them. Often the card is read to represent those years later in life surrounded by grandchildren, in a home that you have built over time, and focusing on the wealth that you have accumulated in your world over time. With all of this in mind, it’s a good sign for vitality and strength. Even if you are sick now or worried about someone who is it’s a great card for healing. Now is the time to take a step back in your own life and ensure that you are doing all you can to remain on this path. You seem to be in a good place now and even health issues current are likely to heal. You want to pay special attention to the areas in your life where your health goals are not being met and what you can do to supplement them.

The Ten of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

When you see the Ten of Pentacles in work or financial readings it’s a sign that you need to stop your spending and you need to turn your mindset to savings. Planning is a key element to the later years and it may even be a good time to think about your retirement – 401K, lifelong purchases, or security that will last you during hard times. A good omen of the Ten of Pentacles is that overall it is a card of abundance. It states that you have the tools to create wealth in your life, but you have to understand their worth and how to use them. Consider ways in which you are able to save, able to provide sustained security, and how you can grow what you have now rather than seeking on what you can get in the future. There literally is no time like the present!

When the Ten of Pentacles is reversed it takes the focus from the long term to the now. Often a card of careful planning when it is flipped over it indicates rash behaviors, desperate times, and taking risks that you cannot afford. You may be feeling like you have nothing to lose right now (or in the recent past) and careless decisions will only cause you to go further down the rabbit hole. You need to stop and carefully assess your situation. Even if you feel that you are alright currently financially and everything is fine the reversed position states clearly that you are not prepared for the future. Concentrate your efforts on stability and longevity and avoid taking needless risks in love or money at this time. It’s an excellent time to get back to the basics and center your focus back to your base needs before branching out and exploring options.
