3 Card Tarot Reading

Two Of Wands Tarot Card Meaning

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

It is a card of duty and hard work, indicating that you are working through physical issues in your life (such as monetary or work issues) or can also be internal (such as emotional challenges) that require strength and resolve to overcome. Often this card comes up when you are feeling distracted. You know that you have tasks at hand and you are not ready to complete them. Now is the time to get cracking! Events are about to unfold in your life – new adventures, new job opportunities, or new responsibilities for example – and you need to be prepared for them.

The figure on the Two of Wands card is looking out over a great distance and often is thought of as a Christopher Columbus type individual (even though it is a woman on my card). Before setting sail on the voyage, notice how she is looking at the world wondering and waiting to what is ahead of her. There is a long road ahead of you and there is a need for you to take time to plan your course of action. Be certain of the direction you are taking and possible hurdles that will need to be overcome. Know that the path you are on right now is one that is good for you but without your own input or direction, you will easily find your way off course.

The Wands overall are cards of action and they have a fiery or fervent nature to them. Putting off responsibilities at this time will backfire and soon you will find that you are overwhelmed. This moment in your life is the calm before the storm of activity, use this time wisely to ensure successful rewards when the job is done. Your work will not go unnoticed or unrewarded.

If you are willing to put forth the effort before you begin your endeavor, you will find that it was worth the work. The duality of the card indicates a need for balance. This is not a time to engage in conflict or to allow yourself to get swept away with the concerns of others. You have made a choice about the direction of your life and now you need to follow through. Distractions and arguments will cause you to lose sight of the end goal.

The Two of Wands in Love

There is a feeling of newness with the Two of Wands and often it will indicate the beginnings of a relationship that is established but in the earlier phases. The attraction has been confirmed and possibly even some dates, but in the end, there is a sense of boredom and lack of direction. Even in long-standing relationships or when referring to people who are married the Two of Wands references a change or series of events that have left you feeling less than fascinated in your relationship.

Sometimes the Two of Wands can indicate feelings of entrapment or boredom in a well-established relationship that can cause issues or concerns. Consider the spark in your relationship at its current time. If you are feeling like there is something lacking in the relationship focus on bringing you and your partner together through physical intimacy or interests that the two of you share. Make sure that you are planning and setting aside time for just the two of you.

In love, this also may be a time to consider your options. Are you being honest with yourself in what you truly want or have there been new avenues that have arisen that are more tempting to you than your current situation? Now is a good time to consider a change of some sort – whether it means ending a current relationship for a new person that has come into your life or starting a new relationship where there has been a void. A word of caution: before you decide to pursue other options consider that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Two of Wands As Feelings

In a question about feelings, the Two of Wands tarot card can indicate that someone has "feelings" on a number of different levels. This could be just friendship or even romance. Often, drawing this card means that things are alright - just ok. As the figure is looking over the water (and water means passion and emotion) this can indicate that there is a block in the way this person feels. In regards to how someone sees you,  this card can mean they like the chance but they might not stick around. Often I see this card in new relationships, and a person moving from one relationship to another really quickly. It can mean strong passion but the ambitions for the longer-term mean that a decision needs to be made. The wands are sometimes shown to indicate impatience. Are you being impatient in finding the right person? One of the wands is secure but she is looking at the globe. Therefore, he or she might be getting satisfaction elsewhere but there are possibilities out there. Often this is the courage to tell the other person how they actually feel. If this card shows up in a relationship reading it can indicate that there are people who are rather stubborn.

Two Of Wands As Friendship

People around you like to have their own way. Two's are associated with creativity and relationship a real sense of passion. Often, this card represents thinking about progress or moving the relationship forward - but not wanting to commit or sacrifice because there is something that is standing in the way of the friendship. The good news is that it in regard to feelings pulling this card suggests that there is a sense of review in regards to the feelings of this friendship in the future.

The Two of Wands in Health

You are in a state of stagnation in your health if the Two of Wands has come up concerning your own wellbeing. Often boredom and fatigue combined will create health issues in their own right and can lend themselves to overeating or other unhealthy habits that have of negative consequences. Now is a time to balance the needs of your mind and body. You may want to consider walking, yoga, or mediation as a way to keep restlessness at bay. Irresponsible health choices are a common concern when the Two of Wands appears in your reading. Be mindful of your overall health especially if you are younger and take it for granted.

The Two of Wands in Work and Wealth

The Two of Wands will often represent a healthy cycle in work and money and come up when things are going well in your life. Even if you are going through a monetary crisis or have recently lost a job, the card indicates that things are turning in your favor. Usually, this card will be associated when you are about to receive a reward for work that was done well or additional perks in your current job.

This isn’t to say that everything is perfect. Rather it is a card indicating stability and a time that allows for a pause or reflection about making a new decision. The Two of Wands is present during times of change within a company. If you are worried about being fired or laid off, consider that there may likely be a better position within the same company that you are currently in that will be more rewarding to you versus the job that you currently have.

Two of Wands Yes Or No

The Two of Wands represent upright the answer is “yes.” This card is an example of the crest of experience that we all need at times - and reaching a place to utilize resources. After many possibilities, there is a chance to review and take time to see what lies ahead. Which is why the figure is overlooking the water. Notice how small the world is. Yes, the world is your oyster but it a small one. 

Two of Wands Past - Upright and Reversed

In a position to have one symbolizes that you have come to a certain point in life where you are exhibiting the strength and experience of past actions. Because the world is within the card it can indicate the huge array of possibilities around you. This is also quite a peaceful time and in the past, you may have been relaxing or taking this journey. The Two of Wands in the reversed past can indicate that talents have been wasted and that other people have been trying to get their view across. The most important things in life sometimes come to those who wait!

The Two of Wands present - Upright and Reversed

There is currently a focus on peace and finding your own self-confidence.  I’ve already mentioned in the overarching description that the card signifies a journey of determination in order to gain independence.  Currently, this means that you are making plans and possibly travel arrangements. Work or career moves you means you are gaining steady progress.  On a romantic level that could possibly be a friendship or relationship and spiritually. This is a great time for development and feels empowered to take advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves.  

In the reversed position, the Two of Wands in the present position can mean you are feeling blocked or that you just need to have a change of scenery in order to appreciate existing again.  there is also a focus on relationships that don’t seem to be working out. 

The Two of Wands Future / Outcome - Upright and Reversed 

The two’s, in general, are all about our choices. When this card appears in the future or outcome of the spread it generally means that you need to choose and make up your mind. It is saying as an outcome you need to open your mind, don’t always follow what is in front of you.  I do feel that this position means a decision will need to be made. If reversed, this card in the future position can mean emotions may be high, think about the water being turned upside down on the image. It can signify that others may create issues and problems but these can be overcome. 

Two of Wands As Relationship Outcome

If you are asking a relationship question then the two of wands can indicate passion and happiness together.  There is spiritual, energetic and partnership in this card. It can represent a deep bond. The two of wands tells you to listen to your inner self. What do you feel? There is sometimes a focus on one partner waiting for the other one to make the move. It could also be that you are both busy but the "two" suggests a union. There is also a possible “power” battle between the two of you but there is a love connection.

This could possibly be through spiritual development or indeed a journey across waters.

When this card is drawn in the reversed position for action it can mean that there is a blockage and that you have been putting your trust in someone or a project and that this has led to unreliability.  In love, the advice for both the upright and reversed positions indicate that there are opportunities that you need to grasp. But, it can mean that even though there are great opportunities on the way you are finding it hard to progress will move the relationship on.

Reversed Two of Wands in a Reading

The Two of Wands reversed indicates worry and concern and rightly so. Usually, the card comes up during times of stress or turmoil in relation to your spiritual sense and being off balance. Rather than looking outward at what you have done and thinking about your next move, you are likely to be feeling unsure or lacking confidence in your abilities. Wrong choices or actions of irresponsibility are cause to miss out on opportunities that you are qualified for. Considering taking responsible steps to get yourself back on track. Implement schedules for a regular daily routine for work, exercise, or finances. In relationships you are likely to be experiencing distance or a lack of reciprocation from a partner. Take steps to invite them into your life by offering ways to bring the two of you closer. Do not wait for them to act.

In love readings, the Two of Wands reversed can indicate a "longing" for a passionate relationship. There may be a range of possibilities or lovers. The particular emphasis on life, after drawing this card is that there is a surprise in store. This could be possibly a failure of a relationship or sudden resentments. There is also the focus of power in that it is not balanced spiritually. We are all curious about our perfect match. The universe generally sends us people in our lives and it is important to understand that our efforts do in the end bring a positive result. Drawing this card means that you need to keep on going in a relationship even though you may quarrel. The longer outlook is much better.

The Five Of Pentacles Tarot Meaning

The Five of Pentacles can be a very worrisome card when appearing in a reading as it shows that there is a loss, usually in financial matters.

The card reflects a loss of financial footing and often will appear at a time of dire need regarding stability in your life. When you see the Five of Pentacles and you are in a good place in your life be warned that there are likely hard times coming ahead. Being prepared for this can often stave off a bad situation and therefore it is a good idea to set your focus on the monetary and stabilizing forces in your life.

By simply looking at the Five of Pentacles you can tell that the card is one of loss and struggle. Two people, often interpreted as a parent and child, huddle closely while heading into the cold and snow. They appear to be outside of a church with five pentacle coins appearing in the stained glass window. Many people will focus on the negative card and allow an overwhelming emotional response to miss the obvious solution at hand. The church is right there, usually a safe haven for the poor or needy, yet the two individuals are still outside in the cold.

While the card does have definite negative connotations, there is also an offer of hope within the card itself. The Five of Pentacles tells you to remember that you simply need to open the door and ask for help in order to get back on your feet. If you are not experiencing this in your life yet, now is a great time to prepare yourself. However, if you are in the midst of conflict in your own life do not ignore the help that is available to you. It is likely that you may have to start over in all or some aspects of your life. Remember that through loss sometimes there are aspects of our lives that need to be purged. Foundations that were poor to begin will no longer hold you up. Relationships that are failing will leave you alone. You don’t have to be excited about the loss that you have experienced or are experiencing. That doesn’t mean that the loss is all bad either. Think of now as a way to focus on the basic needs for your existence and be sure that they are being met.

The Five of Pentacles in Love

When the Five of Pentacles shows up in a love reading it often will accompany feelings of abandonment, insecurity, or a general lack of attention. The card is not a mild card and usually hen it appears there is a serious need to look at all aspects of the relationship and to ensure that you are getting your base needs met. Sometimes the Five of Pentacles will show up when things are at their worst and because of this there is hope that it will get better but in what way is up to you. Ponder how you are really feeling about your relationship in a logical way. Try to separate yourself from the raw emotions relating to recent strife in your relationship and focus on the true root of the problem. Often you will not find that the relationship itself is not the problem but rather other areas, particularly work or money, are causing a strain that is bleeding into your relationship. Before starting a new relationship make sure that you have your finances sorted out and that you have time to really invest in a relationship. It may be best to focus on the more material aspects of your own life before you seek out a commitment with others.

The Five of Pentacles in Health

The Five of Pentacles can indicate failing health problems that are not responding to treatment as expected. Often the card comes when increased health issues are present and it is time to take a drastically different approach to your health. Be mindful that you are doing all you can to improve health and following doctor’s orders precisely.

The Five of Pentacles in Work and Wealth

Unfortunately, the Five of Pentacles is not a good card regarding wealth and work. Financial situations likely have taken a turn for the worse and the card will often show as a result or a warning to job loss. If you are seeking focus on work specifically now may be a good time to look at all of the options that you have and make sure that you are not putting all of your financial eggs in one basket. Regarding money specifically, the card carries negative aspects regarding loss. Failure regarding finance may be causing a great deal of stress, anxiety, and worry. Focus on the positive aspect of the card and seek help where you can find it. You may have to be creative right now to make monies stretch until you get through this rough patch. Be exceptionally careful about your spending habits or making large purchases at this time. If you do have an excess of income or savings stored up then it is imperative that you protect this money source and avoid making risky or frivolous spending choices at this time.

Reversed Meaning - Five of Pentacles

The negative feelings of the Five of Pentacles are relieved in the reversed position. Usually, it will come up after a hard time or also can indicate that you dodged a bullet financially or materially speaking. While hard times are behind you and there is a more positive energy around you, you still want to be careful that you avoid situations like this in the future. It is important to take time to really concentrate on how you are spending your money and ways to protect yourself financially. A common response to hardships that are represented with the Five of Wands are celebrating, however, you are not fully in the clear yet. Things are definitely turning around for you but you still have negative emotions or consequences that you need to clean up in your life. Focus on aspects of your life in which you can harvest security from, design back up plans for the future, and make sure you are creating a new and solid foundation that will not crumble.

Usually, there is a cycle of money issues surrounding this card. The card will come up in a reading in the upright position then appear later in the reversed manner and then eventually not show at all. If you do not correct your mistakes that first caused the financial strain then you will continue with the same loss pattern until you adopt healthier spending habits or more secure income sources. Ponder ways in which you can completely alter you path. Consider perhaps seeking out a new job, implementing new savings plans, or cutting back spending where you can on a long-term basis. The card calls not for a temporary solution. Now is a good time to revamp both the way you think about money and the way you save.
