Three of Wands

Element: Fire

Planet: Sun (associated with vitality and success)

Zodiac: Aries

Yes/No: Yes

UPRIGHT

Expansion: Seeing your plans take shape and looking for ways to grow even further.

Foresight: Having the vision to anticipate future opportunities and preparing for them now.

Progress: Your hard work is starting to pay off; your "ships are coming in."

Confidence: Trusting in your abilities and the path you have chosen.

REVERSED

Delays: Waiting for results that seem to be taking longer than expected to arrive.

Short-sightedness: Focusing too much on immediate gratification and missing the bigger picture.

Lack of Progress: Feeling like your efforts are stalled or that you’re stuck in a waiting game.

Disappointment: Realizing that a venture didn't yield the results you envisioned.

This card represents the "waiting and watching" phase of a successful project. After the planning of the Two, the Three of Wands signifies that you have sent your intentions out into the world and are now starting to see the first signs of success. It symbolizes a sense of momentum and the excitement of knowing that your horizons are broadening. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card is very positive; it suggests they see a future with you and are ready to explore where this connection can lead.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies a disconnect between your actions and your expectations. You might be feeling frustrated that your "ships" haven't docked yet, or perhaps you didn't plan as thoroughly as you thought. It suggests a need to re-evaluate your long-term strategy. Be careful and stop being so impatient—sometimes the best opportunities take a little extra time to cross the ocean.

Two of Wands

Element: Fire

Planet: Mars (associated with drive and action)

Zodiac: Aries

Yes/No: Yes (but requires planning)

UPRIGHT

Planning: Looking at the big picture and deciding on your next move before you set off.

Discovery: Stepping out of your comfort zone to explore new territories or possibilities.

Decision Making: Standing at a crossroads and choosing which path aligns with your long-term goals.

Personal Power: Feeling confident and in control of your destiny; having "the world in your hands."

REVERSED

Fear of the Unknown: Hesitating to leave the safety of what you know, even if you’re bored.

Lack of Planning: Jumping into a situation without thinking it through, leading to chaos.

Playing it Safe: Choosing the easy path over the one that would actually help you grow.

Delayed Travel: Plans for expansion or trips being put on hold due to unforeseen circumstances.

This card represents the "architect" phase of a journey. After the initial spark of the Ace, the Two of Wands signifies a time of reflection and global thinking. You have the power, but you need to decide where to point it. It symbolizes the moment before the first real step is taken—the anticipation of what’s over the horizon. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they are considering a future with you and are weighing how you fit into their long-term plans.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that you are playing small. You might be holding yourself back because you’re afraid of what you might lose if you try for something bigger. It suggests that your lack of a clear plan is making you feel more anxious than you need to be. Be careful and stop being so cautious; the world is waiting for you to step outside your front door.

Ace of Wands

Element: Fire

Planet: Mars (associated with energy, drive, and action)

Zodiac: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Yes/No: Yes! (A very enthusiastic "Go for it!")

UPRIGHT

Inspiration: A sudden "lightbulb" moment or a creative spark that demands your attention.

New Growth: The birth of a project, a new passion, or a fresh burst of physical energy.

Boldness: Finding the courage to step out of your comfort zone and try something daring.

Potential: The raw power of a seed about to sprout; the beginning of a journey.

REVERSED

Lack of Direction: Having a lot of energy but no idea where to put it; spinning your wheels.

Creative Block: Feeling "stuck" or uninspired; the spark has gone out for the moment.

Delays: A project that is struggling to get off the ground or is being held back by timing.

Hesitation: Being afraid to take the first step even though the opportunity is right there.

This card is pure, unadulterated fire. It signifies a time when you are feeling "lit up" by a new idea or a deep sense of purpose. It symbolizes the universe handing you a torch and telling you to run with it. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card is incredibly passionate—it suggests they find you exciting, magnetic, and are very attracted to your energy and drive.

However, should you get it reversed, it signifies that your fire is currently smoldering rather than burning bright. You might be feeling frustrated that things aren't moving as fast as you'd like, or perhaps you've lost interest in something that used to excite you. Be careful and stop being so impatient; sometimes you have to wait for the right wind to catch the flame.

King of Swords

Element: Air

Planet: Saturn (associated with structure, law, and authority)

Zodiac: Aquarius

Yes/No: Yes (but only if it is the logical choice)

UPRIGHT

Intellectual Power: Commanding a room with logic, reason, and a vast amount of knowledge.

Authority: Being a leader who makes decisions based on facts and ethics rather than personal feelings.

Truth: Seeking the absolute objective truth and speaking it with total clarity.

Discipline: Having the mental strength to stay focused on a long-term goal without getting distracted.

REVERSED

Tyranny: Using your intelligence to dominate, intimidate, or "bully" others into submission.

Cynicism: Being so logical that you lose your humanity; seeing people as numbers or problems to solve.

Manipulation: Twisting the truth or using "legalistic" loopholes to get your way.

Mental Weakness: Losing your cool or being unable to make a firm decision due to a lack of conviction.

This card represents the "Master of the Mind." It signifies a time when you must be the ultimate authority in your own life, cutting through confusion with a sharp, disciplined intellect. It symbolizes a person who is highly respected, perhaps a teacher, lawyer, or mentor, who values justice above all else. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they see you as an equal in terms of intelligence, but they are currently approaching the relationship with a "wait and see" attitude, analyzing the facts before they commit emotionally.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that your power has become cold or even cruel. You might be so focused on "being right" that you’ve forgotten how to be kind. It suggests a person who uses their words to control others rather than to guide them. Be careful and stop being so rigid—true wisdom knows when to put the sword down and listen to the heart.

[witchswayy]

Queen of Swords

Element: Air

Planet: Libra (associated with justice and balance)

Zodiac: Libra

Yes/No: Yes (but based on logic, not emotion)

UPRIGHT

Clarity: Having a sharp mind and the ability to see the truth without being clouded by sentiment.

Independence: Being self-reliant, resilient, and standing tall in your own personal power.

Direct Communication: Speaking with honesty, precision, and authority; saying exactly what you mean.

Boundaries: Setting clear limits and protecting your mental and emotional space.

REVERSED

Coldness: Being overly clinical, detached, or "icy" to the point of pushing others away.

Bitterness: Allowing past pain to turn into a sharp tongue or a cynical worldview.

Manipulation: Using your intelligence to twist words or control a situation unfairly.

Harsh Judgment: Being overly critical of yourself or others without offering any compassion.

This card represents the "intellectual Matriarch." It signifies a time when you must lead with your head rather than your heart to protect your interests. It symbolizes a person who has experienced deep pain (like the Three of Swords) but has used that experience to gain wisdom rather than just sorrow. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they respect you immensely and value your mind, but they may be keeping an emotional distance until they feel you are being completely honest with them.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that your "protective armor" has become a cage. You might be using your wit as a weapon to keep people at bay because you’re afraid of being hurt again. It suggests that your honesty has crossed the line into cruelty. Be careful and stop being so guarded; remember that true strength also requires the courage to be vulnerable sometimes.

[witchswayy]

Knight of Swords

Element: Air

Planet: Mercury (associated with speed and communication)

Zodiac: Gemini

Yes/No: Yes (but expect it to happen very quickly)

UPRIGHT

Action-Oriented: Charging forward with a clear goal and the mental drive to achieve it.

Ambition: Being highly motivated, competitive, and determined to succeed.

Directness: Speaking your truth without hesitation, often being very blunt or "straight to the point."

Fast-Paced Change: A whirlwind of activity or a sudden shift in circumstances that requires quick thinking.

REVERSED

Restlessness: Feeling impatient, impulsive, or "scattered" without a clear direction.

Aggression: Being argumentative, bullying, or using your intellect to hurt others.

Burnout: Moving so fast that you've exhausted your mental resources or missed vital details.

Unfocused Energy: Starting many projects but finishing none; being "all over the place."

This card represents the "warrior" of the mind. It signifies a time when you are filled with a sense of urgency and the intellectual power to cut through any obstacle. It symbolizes a person who is brave, logical, and perhaps a bit detached from the emotional fallout of their actions. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they are very focused on you right now, but their approach may be more about "winning" or logical pursuit than soft, romantic vulnerability.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that your speed has become your enemy. You might be "charging into a brick wall" because you haven't stopped to look at the map. It suggests that your words are coming out sharper than you intended, causing unnecessary conflict. Be careful and stop being so impulsive—take a moment to ensure your direction matches your speed.

Page of Swords

Element: Air

Planet: Mercury (associated with communication and intellectual curiosity)

Zodiac: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Yes/No: Yes (but requires clear communication)

UPRIGHT

Curiosity: A thirst for knowledge, asking lots of questions, and seeking the truth.

New Ideas: A sudden spark of mental energy or a fresh perspective on an old problem.

Vigilance: Being alert, observant, and keeping an eye out for potential challenges.

Communication: Receiving news, starting a conversation, or being very "talkative."

REVERSED

All Talk, No Action: Making big promises or sharing "big ideas" without any plan to follow through.

Hasty Speech: Saying things without thinking, being blunt to the point of rudeness, or spreading gossip.

Paranoia: Being overly suspicious of others or seeing hidden meanings where there are none.

Mental Fog: Feeling scattered, impulsive, or unable to focus on one thought at a time.

This card represents the "student" of the mind. It signifies a youthful, restless energy that is eager to explore every possibility. It symbolizes someone who is mentally sharp and quick-witted, but perhaps a bit detached from their emotions. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they are curious about you or find you intellectually stimulating, but they may be approaching the connection with their head rather than their heart right now.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that your mental energy is becoming chaotic. You might be acting like a "know-it-all" or using your words to cut others down instead of lifting them up. It suggests that you are rushing into a situation without having all the facts. Be careful and stop being so impulsive with your opinions; take a breath before you speak your mind.

Some Deities of Ostara

[witchswayy]

Ten of Swords

Element: Air

Planet: Sun (associated with vitality, but here marking a final ending)

Zodiac: Gemini

Yes/No: No

UPRIGHT

Rock Bottom: Reaching the absolute lowest point of a situation; things cannot get any worse.

Finality: A definitive ending or a "door closing" that cannot be reopened.

Betrayal: Feeling "stabbed in the back" or deeply let down by someone you trusted.

Martyrdom: Taking on too much pain or playing the victim to an extreme degree.

REVERSED

Resurrection: Rising from the ashes; the slow and painful process of starting over.

Avoiding Disaster: Narrowly escaping a total collapse or a terrible outcome.

Relief: The worst has finally happened, and the fear of it is finally gone.

Resistance: Struggling to accept that something is truly over; clinging to a dead situation.

This card represents the ultimate "end of the line." It signifies a moment of total exhaustion where a situation has been pushed as far as it can go. While it looks dramatic, it carries a hidden promise: once you reach the bottom, the only way left to go is up. It symbolizes the death of an old way of thinking or living. If asking about someone else’s feelings, this card suggests they feel completely "done," defeated, or perhaps deeply betrayed by how things unfolded.

If you receive this card reversed, it signifies that you are beginning to pull yourself up off the ground. The "ten swords" are being removed one by one. It suggests that while you are still wounded, the cycle of destruction has stopped. Be careful not to let bitterness harden your heart; the dawn is coming, but you have to be willing to turn your head and look for it.
