How to Predict Timing with Tarot

When performing a Celtic Cross, there are three cards that can reveal when the event will happen: the advice, the outcome, and the card at the bottom of the deck. While your intuition will tell you which is most likely, it is best to acknowledge all three possibilities.

THE MAJOR ARCANA

The Fool – Whenever you are ready

The Magician – It has already begun

The High Priestess – You know exactly when

The Empress – During harvest season

The Emperor – It is almost done

The Hierophant – It is finished

The Lovers – As soon as you make the choice

The Chariot – In just a few moments

Strength – The minute you accept it

The Hermit – Only after you meditate on it

The Wheel of Fortune – During your first or next Saturn return

Justice – When you least expect it

The Hanged Man – When the circumstances change

Death – Whenever it is ready

Temperance – After the storm

The Devil – It is happening right now

The Tower – Soon, unexpectedly and suddenly

The Star – The more you believe, the sooner it will happen

The Moon – It cannot be determined at the moment

The Sun – In the summer or by sunrise

Judgement – Soon and inevitably

The World – In divine timing

THE MINOR ARCANA

THE SUIT OF WANDS

Ace of Wands – One day

Two of Wands – Two days

Three of Wands – Three days

Four of Wands – Four days

Five of Wands – Five days

Six of Wands – Six days

Seven of Wands – Seven days

Eight of Wands – Eight days

Nine of Wands – Nine days

Ten of Wands – Ten days

Page of Wands – As we speak

Knight of Wands – End of November to most of December

Queen of Wands – End of March to most of April

King of Wands – End of July to most of August

I bought my first tarot deck about a year ago. I was wondering besides looking through your blog and seeing what your tips are, the best way to start learning and start reading and how I can get the most accurate readings for myself and others? Also I wanted to know what you thought about doing yes or no tarot readings? I read that you turn have the deck upside down so it means no, shuffle the deck, ask your question and if it’s front facing yes, opposite it’s a no. Is this a bad thing to do?

Can Tarot Answer a Yes or No Question?

Definitely, and very clearly.

But you cannot reduce the cards to a value:

Positive cards for “yes”, negative cards for “no”

Upright cards for “yes”, reversed cards for “no”

Cups for “yes”, Swords for “no”, Wands for “yes, but wait”, Pentacles for “yes, but you have to work hard for it”

I explain here why the positive vs. negative card method does not work.

And this is why the upright–reversed method does not work either: You asked, “Will I ever get over my mother’s death?” You pull the Five of Cups reversed. That is not a no. That is one enormous yes. The Five of Cups upright is grief, loss and sadness. Reversed, it is moving on from such sorrows and choosing to once again find happiness.

On to the suits method: You asked, “Will I receive extra money this week?” You pull the Six of Pentacles. That is a big yes. And you will not need to work hard for it. As in the card’s imagery, all you have to do is hold out your hand to the Universe, and it will send someone to fill it for you.

As I said before: No card in tarot is designed to be condemned as a yes or a no. Any card can be a yes, just as any card can be a no. It depends on every individual question and the intricacies of a situation. Shortcuts will not make you wise. More often than not, they are dead-ends in disguise.

So how to do it then?

To answer a yes or no question with tarot, pull a card… and read it.

Just read it. It is really that simple.

Read what the card says to see if the answer is a no or a yes.

〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰

This is the fastest way I have found to learn tarot and ensure the mind retains all the information: How to REALLY Learn Tarot in One Day.

Readings that are as accurate as the powers that be will allow can be achieved through 1) having a rich arsenal of card meanings, and 2) learning to harness your intuition. Both take time and practice. These can help: Tarot Card Meanings Beyond the Basics; Sure-Fire Ways to Master Your Intuition.

The Best Couples in Tarot According to My Grandma

King of Wands and Queen of Cups

He loves to be adored, and she loves to obsess. They fit each other like a glove. It is an everlasting love.

King of Cups and Queen of Wands

He is gentle and kind. She is intense and wild. He is the calm to her storm. She is the fire that keeps him warm.

King of Swords and Queen of Pentacles

He has dreams of his own, and so does she. Beside each other, they achieve them together, individually.

King of Pentacles and Queen of Swords

She is hardened by battle. But his touch is warm and gentle, melting down her armor. She knows he would never harm her.

Knight of Wands and Queen of Cups

He likes to roam around. Unselfish, she allows it. And he realizes that such kindness is all the bliss he needs.

Knight of Pentacles and Queen of Pentacles

He likes to take his time. And there is no one more patient than her. A match made in heaven is what they are together.

King of Wands and Queen of Wands

They are two flames that never die. Together they can only grow bigger and glow brighter than ever.

Knight of Swords and Queen of Swords

She sees her younger self in him. And she is the one he strives to be. This is why they treat each other always so endearingly.

Knight of Cups and Queen of Wands

He loves himself above all. She is the same about herself. But in each other they find somebody they can love just as strongly.

King of Cups and Queen of Cups

They are two fountains of affections that never quite run dry. Together their waters reach up to the sky.

[servantofthefates]

Hello! What are some soulmate/the one cards in tarot?

The Soulmate Cards in Tarot

While there are many love cards in tarot, not all speak of “the one.”

Both the Ace of Cups and the Two of Cups, for example, guarantee love but not forever. The Ace simply promises a new beginning, while the Two only speaks of a budding, such as in two friends who suddenly realize they want to be more to each other, or in two people who fall in love at first sight.

And then you have the Ten of Cups, which talks of marriage and a happy family. However, one’s life partner, no matter how amazing, is not always one’s soulmate too. Sometimes, people marry for convenience or stability, not because their heart recognizes a person as their other half.

Only two cards in tarot are by themselves a guarantee of a soulmate connection.

The Lovers is the obvious and the ultimate one. It is a confirmation that the heavens did in fact create this person for you and you for them.

The other, and the much lesser known of the two, is the Five of Pentacles. Depicting an impoverished couple out in the cold, it is the card of fulfilled marriage vows: “To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part.” When the initial surge of passion is gone and long after the sun has left their lives, this couple is still together, battling whatever the heavens throw their way.

That is it for individual cards.

But when two cards combine with each other, they can create more true love together.

Hello!! I was wondering How do you determine a location with tarot (like in where will I meet my soul mate? ) Thank you for all your amazing posts 💛💛💛

How to Determine Locations with Tarot

Ask any question and perform any spread. Then let the cards’ meanings, helped by your intuition, pinpoint the location.

WHERE WILL I MEET MY SOULMATE?

Cards: Eight of Wands (quick incoming messages) + Page of Swords (social media stalking)

Answer: You will meet your soulmate online.

WHERE ARE MY SUNGLASSES?

Cards: The Chariot (vehicle, carriage seat) + Four of Pentacles (embracing, tightness)

Answer: In your car, stuck between the seats.

WHERE SHOULD I SPEND SUMMER?

Cards: The Empress (mother) + Six of Cups (childhood)

Answer: Go home to visit your parents.

WHERE WILL I FIND FULFILMENT?

Cards: Eight of Pentacles (work) + Nine of Cups (banquet)

Answer: Give catering a try.

WHERE WILL I SEE MY EX AGAIN?

Cards: Three of Wands (ships coming in) + Six of Swords (travel by water)

Answer: On a cruise.

[servantofthefates]

What could it mean when you receive the same card multiple times? In tarot and oracle decks. A lesson or simply something that is more certain to happen?

What It Means to Keep Seeing the Same Tarot Card

The position is the key.

If it keeps appearing in the Present, the Environment, the Subconscious, the Hopes, the Fears… it only means the essence of the card is currently alive in your reality.

The Nine of Swords is simply stating that you are battling anxiety, while the Two of Cups is just observing that you are engrossed in love.

If it keeps appearing in positions such as the Advice, the Past, the Goal… it means you are being asked to heed its message.

The Two of Wands urges you to think strategically and warns you against deciding impulsively, while the Seven of Pentacles reminds you to be patient and trust in divine timing.

But if it consistently shows up as the Future or as the Outcome, then it is certainly a prediction.

Death guarantees an upcoming painful or pleasant transformation, while the Ace of Cups promises a new romantic connection.

However, if it appears across different categories, with no discernible majority, it is only picking up on your wishes and desires.

The Empress means you are longing for abundance, while the Four of Cups means you wish your life had more substance.

[servantofthefates]

How do you interpret cards that at first sight seem to be unrelated to the question that's being asked? For example you ask a love reading and get pentacles, or you ask about finances but get relationship cards

How to Read Pentacles for Love and Cups for Finances

Simply take the card’s meaning and place it in the desired context, while looking at the imagery for further clarity.

TEN OF PENTACLES

Meaning: Abundance

Imagery: A family

Love: Love so abundant you will want to start a family together

FIVE OF PENTACLES

Meaning: Lack

Imagery: A couple out in the cold

Love: His lack of affection will make you feel left out in the cold

THREE OF PENTACLES

Meaning: Cooperation

Imagery: Church renovation

Love: You will work together on rebuilding your relationship

NINE OF CUPS

Meaning: Fulfillment

Imagery: A happy man

Finances: Your career will be a source of fulfillment

FOUR OF CUPS

Meaning: Boredom

Imagery: A frustrated man

Finances: You will come to hate your job

SIX OF CUPS

Meaning: Someone from the past

Imagery: A child offering a cup to a smaller child

Finances: An ex boss will offer you work

Is tarot unique to the individual with that person forming their own interpretations and such or is tarot a set form of divination with rules and such?

Both. Tarot has fixed meanings, and the reader chooses which one to use.

Think of every tarot card as a walk-in closet. It is huge and has many items inside. Still, the number is not infinite. A person may only choose a dress that is inside. She cannot conjure one out of thin air.

Take the Justice card. It means karma, or simply, getting what you deserve — which could be amazing or terrible. It also represents legal matters, which could be troublesome or simple. Further, it foretells a wedding, specifically the contracts and the signing that come with it. Then again, it also means oppression by the government or the police… as well as the protection of the Universe.

So when a tarot reader pulls Justice, it is up to him or her to pick which meaning applies. Both practical knowledge and spiritual intuition are a reader’s eyes and guide.

Could you please explain in more detail what’s the witching hour and why is it so powerful?

The Witching Hour

Jesus is said to have died at three in the afternoon. And so Christians say that the inversion of that moment, which is three in the morning, is a time of evil. The witching hour.

Christians are funny that way.

As I have shared before, I am descended from Greco-Roman pagans who brought the old gods to the Philippines during the Spanish colonization.

According to my ancestors, after dark in the Empire was not a quiet time at all. Drunkards, thieves and all kinds of dangerous people roamed the streets.

But rituals require stillness.

The only time the roads were quiet was when a curfew was temporarily implemented. But when that was the case, guards would patrol the streets late into the night.

And guards arrest heretics.

Three in the morning was the beautiful time when drunkards have succumbed to slumber… guards are detained at posts… and vendors are enjoying the last few minutes of sleep before beginning the day.

And so it was at that moment when witches would perform rituals and invoke the gods.

Even though the Roman Empire is long gone, and witches are, in most parts of the world, no longer being persecuted… the old gods have come to claim the hour as theirs. For it was when they were always called to earth.

My family believes that the witching hour is when gods are freely roaming around their mortal children. It is when they are most likely to accept an invitation and grant a petition.

[servantofthefates]

Hi Diana, Ive been surfing your posts regarding the fates. Do you have any advice when considering entering a contract with them? Pros, cons, things to be aware of? And if you don't mind me asking whats it been like for you? Thank you.

The Fates bow to no one.

They do not succumb to authority, bribery or flattery. They are not who you come to for riches or beauty. They offer something else entirely.

There are 77 curses in our family grimoire. But they are rarely called upon.

Every night before I sleep, I tell the Fates all about my day. When someone wrongs me, they hear about that too. Something bad always happens to that someone in a day or two.

And since the Fates hold the thread of life, as their servant, I am allowed to touch it at times.

When I want someone to get better, I ask the Fates for the Ten of Swords reversed. The card appears. The querent is healed soon after.

When an addict comes to me for help, I ask the Fates for The Devil reversed. The card appears. The change occurs.

I learned at a young age that it also works the other way.

A querent told me that he kept dreaming of burying his family. Though nothing was happening in real life, he wanted to know if they would really die.

Innocuously, I told myself, “The High Priestess needs to appear if these dreams are real.” She did. Five people died in a fire.

My grandmother warned me never to invoke a card that way again. And to never read for people I do not like, as I could end up ruining their life. This is why I only read face-to-face. I need to know if I like the querent, so I do not accidentally hurt them.

But at the end of the day, the Fates have unbending integrity. When they do not want me to meddle with destiny, they sternly tell me.

When I am invoking something, and the Fates disapprove… tears roll down my face out of the blue. That is how they let me know they cannot let my wish come true.

And when I hurt an innocent soul… they abandon me. My predictions do not come true. My visions do not manifest. And since they are unbribable, no offering can fix it. I have to heal the soul I hurt before they give me back control.

This is what life has been like since I became their child.

[servantofthefates]

Hello Diana! I absolutely love all your posts! When talking about tarot you recurrently talked about astrology could you tell us more about it please? Thank you for everything, have a lovely day

Tarot and Astrology

The stars are carved into the cards. A reader’s ability is fragmentary without knowledge of astrology.

Each Major Arcana is a sign or a planet. This is crucial when you are identifying people. Who will you marry? Who will your child be? A Pisces or an Aries?

The Fool is Uranus. They are both eccentric.

The Magician is Mercury. They are both intelligent.

The High Priestess is The Moon. They are both intuitive.

The Empress is Venus. They are the Queen of Queens.

The Emperor is Aries. They are natural leaders.

The Hierophant is Taurus. They embody stability.

The Lovers is Gemini. They represent duality.

The Chariot is Cancer. They carry their home with them.

Strength is Leo. They are the epitome of bravery.

The Hermit is Virgo. They are both analytical.

Wheel of Fortune is Jupiter. They are givers of abundance.

Justice is Libra. They both strive for fairness.

The Hanged Man is Neptune. They both love introspection.

Death is Scorpio. They are the masters of evolution.

Temperance is Sagittarius. Both need balance.

The Devil is Capricorn. Both are tied to the physical.

The Tower is Mars. They are destructive.

The Star is Aquarius. They both have many dreams.

The Moon is Pisces. They are the mystics.

The Sun is The Sun. They represent vitality.

Judgement is Pluto. They are both vindictive.

The World is Saturn. Commanders of the material.

And when predicting the future, the signs’ corresponding Court Cards indicate timing. When will your dream come true? A month from now or two?

Knight of Wands is Mutable Fire Sagittarius. End of November to most of December.

Queen of Wands is Cardinal Fire Aries. End of March to most of April.

King of Wands is Fixed Fire Leo. End of July to most of August.

Knight of Cups is Mutable Water Pisces. End of February to most of March.

Hello love. How can i correctly worship spirits/entities? I give them offerings and talk to them every night in my altar, at first i tanked them for their protection and blessings, but now i talk to them about my everyday life, sometimes about my pain. It's soothing for me since i'm suicidal and i can't tell anyone. Their concern with my illnes has appeared through my tarot readings. I saw a post saying that talking like this can be diarespecful, do you think so? I'm afraid to disrespect them.

The Mistake of Equating the Old Gods with the New

A devotee should not speak to a deity the way a Christian is expected to speak to Jesus.

The old gods have no room for your modesty, purity and innocence. These are virtues invented by the Church and the State to keep the masses in line.

Worshippers would masturbate and fornicate in front of Aphrodite to honor her sexuality.

Soldiers would kill and pillage in the name of Mars to recognize his thirst for blood.

My ancestors would cast curses in Pluto’s presence, invoking his desire for vengeance.

The old gods and the new are worlds apart from each other. The old ones have human traits and desires just like us.

Speaking to them respectfully does not mean speaking to them distantly.

Lust and rage, like despair and pain, are all very real human feelings.

And the more real you are with your deity, the more you are proving your sincerity and pledging your fealty.

[servantofthefates]

I was touched by what you shared about your birth gods. It prompted me to learn what was my own birth god, which led me to discover that my dominant signs are my sun and moon signs (Capricorn, Aquarius) they appear so often in my chart it was rather shocking. This told me that Saturn is the god that visited me at birth. Could you share a little about Saturn/Kronos? I am tremendously grateful for your guidance, and patience in sharing your knowledge with us.

His children tend to excel in sports and highly competitive fields. Not only does he bestow upon them medals and trophies, he also makes them charming, enabling them to win the hearts of people too.

Diana, Ruler of the Moon, Giver of Fertility

She grants her children a fertile mind and intuition. If they embrace their feminine energy, they do well as therapists and counsellors. But if they embrace the masculine, they excel as strategists and politicians.

Mercury, Giver of Intelligence

His children are born with a superior mind. Some use it deceitfully, others fairly. He does not give knowledge itself, but the ability to manipulate others and to look and see more than what is visible.

Venus, Giver of Harmony

She gifts her children beauty in themselves, their environment and their tastes. Beauty and abundance together create harmony. But while the first is given at birth, the other has to be earned.

Mars, Giver of Drive

His children find themselves at the very top of the corporate ladder. Having received the gift of ambition, they tend to become highly successful, but unfortunately, not half as likable.

Jupiter, Giver of Wealth

He is a generous father. Rarely does he make his children work for his gift. He mostly just showers them with it. That is why they tend to be slightly lazy. Their life now and then can be very easy.

Saturn, Giver of Strength

The father of fathers, he invented tough love. Unlike Jupiter, he makes his children work hard. Any abundance and victory they earn, he wants to be permanent. So he tests them until they gain true strength.

Uranus, Giver of Audacity

His children are either ridiculously smart or foolish. Either way, they share a sense of heightened daringness. They turn out to be their generation’s greatest innovators, evil geniuses or village idiots.

Neptune, Giver of Sight

His children are born with Second Sight. He also grants them romanticism and creativity, along with mysticism. The catch? Given the eccentric way they present themselves, people rarely believe them.

Pluto, Giver of Power

His children are the most powerful of all. But they rarely scream about it. They like to control their cousins from behind the scenes. He gifts them occult abilities and the drive and strength to wield them.
