I had an interesting reading today. Tarot reading to be exact. In short I’ve had alot of things going through my mind over the past month or so, and could not help but feel lost in my thoughts and what actions I felt I needed to take. I still feel it and may still need time to do so....but getting back to the subject at hand, I decided to get a reading done to hopefully give insight on the few questions I had:
My questions: will I reach the goals I want to reach, make the progression I wish to make, will I travel more soon and meet the people I wish to meet. Perhaps, in that time getting close to them and expressing my feelings?
My results in a ten card spread:
Current Influences
Your present position. This card reveals influences, and shows the general direction of the reading.
Three of Pentacles
If you can maintain a clear sense of purpose over the coming months, you are well positioned to see your hard work get the recognition it deserves. While it is not guaranteed, and it may tax your interpersonal skills, if you maintain your own pace and trust in others, recognition will be yours. That outcome will be worth your determination, as it may not only provide material reward, but also lead to a sense of lasting accomplishment.
Key interpretations:
Excellence
Mastery
Satisfaction
Success
Teamwork
In this position, the card reveals:
If you seek fulfillment and success, you will need to invest consistent effort and extend your own ability.
Obstacles
Immediate Influences. This card reveals the nature of the obstacles immediately before you.
The High Priestess
Your identification with the High Priestess suggests you possess inherent good judgment, in the form of strong intuition. She may indicate that reason should take second place to instinct. Your head must trust in the wisdom of your heart for a change. Yet, she is also an aide by nature, and her presence in certain parts of your spread could be indicative of someone close to you coming to your rescue with their own intuition. Intuition is most effective at seeing what is hidden to the senses, so the High Priestess may also come as a warning of concealed facts or influences that are, or will be, important to you.
Key interpretations:
Feminine influences
Insightful
Mystery
Understanding
Wisdom
In this position, the card reveals:
Your unrealized or under-utilized creative talents are demanding to be expressed. Look for a spiritual guide to help you put your psychic or artistic abilities to use.
Past Foundations
Recent influences or events in the past from which your current situation has arisen.
Two of Swords
Like crossed blades, the Two of Swords represents a balance of forces. Not necessarily an absence of struggle, but an equal distribution of force in opposition. It may indicate you are in a position to mediate a conflict, or it may instead suggest you are caught in the middle of a dilemma with no clear outcome. The resolution of this state will likely bring peace for you.
Key interpretations:
Balance
Conflict resolution
Decisions
Peace of mind
Prejudice
In this position, the card reveals:
You have a difficult choice which can only be made if you are honest about your past.
Past Events
Reveals a recent influence or event which is coming to an end.
Six of Wands
Your past efforts are about to pay dividends if you find the Six of Wands in your spread. Whether in the form of recognition for your past work or material reward, some level of success is in your future. If you are waiting for some particular news, this card is most likely a signal of good news. However, it is also gentle reminder that magnanimity and grace should accompany your success. To avoid losing friends and inviting retributions, do not let the good fortune go to your head.
Key interpretations:
Completion
Good news
Reward and Recognition
Success
Triumph
In this position, the card reveals:
Your past efforts and hard work are leading towards accomplishment.
Goals and Destiny
Shows your desired goals and aims, and reveals the best outcome that can be achieved in your current situation.
Eight of Cups
The Eight of Cups suggests that there is stability and security in your life, but at a personal cost. You are probably unfulfilled by your current life. Depending on the rest of your spread, it may be a strong push for you to move on, and find the courage to strike out in a new direction. You will have to look closely at your work, your relationship, and your own beliefs to identify the source of your dissatisfaction, and then decide if you are willing to set aside some of your life's stability in order to find happiness.
Key interpretations:
Abandonment
Avoiding
Changes in lifestyle
Leaving / Going
Personal development
In this position, the card reveals:
You will find new friends and with them gain many new experiences. In these friends and these actions, you will find happiness.
Future
Reveals a new influence that will soon be brought to bear in your life.
Three of Wands
If you can manage to consistently bring your creativity and inventiveness to the table, then the Three of Wands brings good news. You are about to enter a time where your potential for productivity and accomplishment is very favourable. Keep your eyes open for new career opportunities and your mind open to new possibilities. The rewards these new opportunities bring, however, will take some time. You will need to be patient and stick around for the long haul. Also, look for new allies, as any new undertakings will be most successful if undertaken as partnerships.
Key interpretations:
Achievement
Fresh starts
Long-term success
Partnerships
Trade
In this position, the card reveals:
You will find yourself challenged on a mental level by the work ahead of you.
The Querant (you)
This card reveals your negative feelings, and provides additional information about how you feel in your present environment..
Two of Wands
The Two of Wands suggests the formation of partnerships in your immediate future, or the success of already existing joint ventures. You will likely find yourself in a position to reap the rewards of these partnerships, in the form of financial gain or promotion. The rewards indicated are due to you, so this is better news for those in equitable partnerships than those who seek to profit at the expense of others. The presence of this card may also point to underlying insecurity or worry on your part. These feelings may be justified or not, based on the rest of the spread.
Key interpretations:
Achievement
Anxiety
Gain
Goals
Partnership
In this position, the card reveals:
Learn to receive as graciously as you give.
Friends and Family
This card shows your influence on the people around you, and their influence on you. It also shows how they fit into your home, work, and surroundings.
The Star
The Star's presence signifies a period of respite and renewal for you. This renewal may be spiritual, physical, or both. It is a particularly positive sign if you or someone close is recovering from illness or injury. It is a light in the darkness, illuminating your future and your past.
Key interpretations:
Calm and serenity
Destiny
Hope
Opportunity
Renewal
In this position, the card reveals:
If you give freely of your help and encouragement, you will find yourself surrounded by harmony and happiness.
Hopes, Fears, and Ideals
Your inner emotions.
King of Swords
The King of Swords represents the professional aspects of authority. Often associated with those in legal or business careers, he most likely represents someone who will aid you in one of these fields. This person may be assertive, or even seek to dominate you in their confidence that they know how best to aid you. While they may be friendly, their primary motivation is unlikely to be emotional.
Key interpretations:
A Mature, authoritative man
Assertive
Authority
Government / Legal
Leadership
In this position, the card reveals:
Excellent advice from a powerful masculine force will give your plans new impetus.
The Final Outcome
This card reveals the final outcome to your question. It's the product of all the other influences shown in this spread.
Seven of Wands
You almost certainly have great reserves of courage, and the perseverance to see yourself through difficult times. You may not be aware you possess these qualities, but you will find yourself needing them soon. Expect conflicts, possibly small, but more likely significant. It is not certain where they will arise, but there is no doubt you possess the ability to overcome your adversaries.
Key interpretations:
Coping and Resistance
Courage
Long-term successes
Perseverance
Strength
In this position, the card reveals:
You will face overwhelming odds and you will beat them. If luck favours the prepared, then fate favours the courageous.
