2nd mini spread - another what you are facing now and how you should proceed pulled for britney

first the seven of wands is about a challenge or competition you’re battling

it shows a man battling 6 other wands and you’re holding your ground to come out on top but the man also is wearing two different shoes showing that maybe he was unprepared for this fight - and speaking of unprepared the number 7 represent a sudden change, balance was disrupted and there’s inevitable tension bc of that “struggle or exploration can begin”

in the eight of cups the cups is the suit of emotions and while the number 8 is a stable place it’s not going to become complacent “defensive rigidity or exhilaration at having learned from experiences can develop with 8”

in the card a man is walking away from the cups and it looks like one is missing - there’s a sense of loss and disappointment and he walks towards the river and mountains which symbolize his emotions and awareness and there’s also a hope to go unnoticed on this journey or avoid something i think it’s saying to withdraw from whatever it is your fighting or in competition with go inward to find something that’s missing - there’s a wholeness lacking in the cups (emotions)

Mini spread

1. what are you facing right now and 2. how you should proceed

Pulled these for katrine

first the two of wands - this is a card of planning and of contemplating big things but not yet ventured out yet

the man is holding globe of the world and all it can offer while also looking out at his own land the wand locked in place shows a not readiness to leave yet the castle he’s on - and alternating thinking about the good and bad that could happen

also the the suit of wands is about fire and spirit usually in the realm of a seeking a quest for truth that doesn’t hav any ulterior motives or motivated by arrogance learning to be compassionate without expecting anything in return

the number two also refers to partnerships yet without anything to come out of them yet

i would say this position is about feeling not ready for big plans or agreements made going back and forth and contemplating them and perhaps it has to do with deciding what’s right for the path you’re on

the strength card - how u should proceed - is a card of action but a really strong one to go forward w a decision w courage

also with this card it shows a woman who has tamed a lion but did so through calm and loving energy it shows strength in being vulnerable and emotional and that there is a lot more truth to that kind of power and strength to bring peace- so go forward w a strong open vulnerability in making decisions

this card has been plaguing me for a while now. I know something is trying to be communicated w/ me so I’m gonna talk a bit about this card

three of swords -

this card usually reflects some type of loss, something is gone now either been interrupted or removed from your experience

the heart - other depictions of this card use a rose instead of a heart both of which can be a representation of emotional and physical passion, also of spiritual unfoldment and vulnerability

the swords - this suit is in the realm of air and express intellect, usually a recurring theme here is pain in the mental aspect. It brings pain and delusion and is tried to be tempered by reason

the number three signifies the benefits of a partnership

with all of this and the fact that this card keeps jumping out to me it’s like someone is trying to tell me i’m ignoring a huge loss i’ve felt. opening my heart to rejection and pain and then trying to shut my mind away from instead of trying to to heal (the mental aspect of the swords)

has a card also been plaguing you?

Tarot Reading Tips 💖

🔮 Learn the classic definitions of the cards - you don’t need to memorize every card’s meaning, I still use my book, but knowing a general meaning of cards will help

🔮 Wands- fire, Cups- water, Swords- air, Pentacles- earth

🔮 Using the elements helps me understand the cards and give them meaning

🔮 You can connect with a card by envisioning it and placing yourself inside of it- Stand in it and think of what you feel, see, smell, hear. I think this is a fun little exercise, though I don’t do it frequently.

🔮 Incorporate lucky numbers, personal habits and preferences into the way you shuffle, pull cards and organize spreads

🔮 I cut the deck and deal cards with my left hand (I’m right handed), but that’s just me

🔮 If you want more information on a card, pull another one and place it on top of the first.

🔮 Don’t pull too many cards or do too many readings- If you overwhelm yourself with information or deal half the deck, the cards tend to lose meaning and you learn very little from the reading.

🔮 Practice on yourself, family and friends- the more you practice the better you’ll know the cards and be able to create a story, which brings me to…

🔮 Connect the cards to make a story- this is how my mom reads cards and it always blew me away how she could just create this little story from a few cards and really give them life. Connecting the cards makes it easier to understand and less like random tid-bits of information.

🔮 Thank your cards when you’re done

🔮 Try meditating before a big reading- this doesn’t have to be classic meditation where you clear your mind, it can be very personal and whatever you feel like connects you to your cards, the person you’re reading and any deity or spirit you might be asking for help.

🔮 You don’t need to call on Gods or spirits while reading. If you’re not into that, don’t mess with it. And if you do practice this, please do it responsibly.

🔮 When I meditate I see vines, water, energy and spirits- I know that when these all come together I’m calm and focused. Your meditation will probably be nothing like mine and that’s perfectly normal.

🔮 Not a tip, but now that I’m thinking about it, is there a name for what I’m doing besides ‘meditating’ because I don’t find that fitting? 🧐

🔮 Never stop learning (exhibit A ⬆️) and don’t be afraid to ask possibly silly questions (see: exhibit A)

i don’t know who needs to hear this but the only way through is to go inward. there is no magic fix to all of your problems because without the necessary healing you will never evolve mentally, emotionally, and spiritually from where you are now. work on the things outside of you, of course, don’t neglect any aspect of your life. but prioritize your inner work, your healing, your growth, your evolution, because without that foundation, nothing can really stand.

How to Close a Reading, as My Grandma Taught Me

“Interpreting the last card does not mean you are done. You have ten more things to do before the reading is through.”

1. Count the major arcana.

The more there are, the stronger the reading’s predictions will impact the querent’s life. If there are none or just one, almost none of it will matter in the long run.

2. Note the sequence of the major arcana.

If the querent is asking about someone, and the major arcana are between 0 and 16, that person is not meant to stay in their life. If the question is about a dream or an opportunity, and the cards fall between 17 and 21, it will manifest completely.

3. Count the cards from each suit.

The presence of all suits predicts a balanced outcome. More Wands means strong passion. More Swords means anxiety or manipulation. More Cups means the heart is running the show. More Pentacles means wealth is about to diminish or grow.

4. Mind the aces and the tens.

Two or more aces means the situation is only just beginning. Two or more tens means it is now coming to a good or bad ending.

5. Note the multiples between two and nine.

Twos mean clever thinking is of paramount importance. Threes speak of infidelity or the need for cooperation. Fours guarantee stability, just as sixes do harmony. Fives and sevens spell difficult challenges, but eights and nines promise that the labor is almost over.

6. Regard the ruling colors.

A dominant black predicts burdens and hindrances. Red and yellow combined ensure passion, clarity and manifestation. Blue and white together advise that the solution can be found through spirituality and intuition.

7. Count the court cards.

Nine times out of ten, court cards are people, not influences. They are doing the manipulation or they need to be manipulated.

8. Notice the suits of the courts.

Wands and Swords are friendly. So are Cups and Pentacles. Any other combination spells rivalry and obstacles.

9. Watch where the cards are facing.

“Is the woman in The World looking at The Tower? A tragedy has to occur before success can take over. Is the King of Cups facing away from his Queen? Their relationship is suffering. His love for her has begun fading.”

10. Look at the bottom of the deck.

If the outcome is good, embodying this energy will make it even better. If the outcome is bad, this is the hidden connection that needs to be severed.
