Tarot Reading of the Day

Today I was asked if I could draw a positive card for the querant. I'm really sorry but this just isn't possible! Always important to remember that the reader is the interpreter and the person who channels the energies, not the one to create them in the first place.

But I really, truly, deeply wish I were able to do such a thing! :)

The meaning of each tarot card - The 8 of Wands

The 8 of wands tarot card is a very strong card that is about harmony as much as it's about action. At first glance, they might seem like quite contradictory but it's more to do with putting on a last spurt to bring everything together. You've likely been working away at a few things in your life and at this time feeling that it's all over the place still, and proving hard to organise. In other words, success seems elusive! So this card urges you to push forwards that bit more. You will soon reap the benefits and see everything start to fall into place. 

(Have you always seen yourself as a deep and meaningful person? Then you may find yourself drawn to the Secret Tarot set. It is gentle and whispering in its method of sending its message.)

The meaning of each tarot card - The 7 of Wands

By the look of the 7 of Wands tarot card, you'd be forgiven for thinking you're in for a tense time of it. The card often depicts someone in a fighting stance and it looks an aggressive image. Well, it's true that you need to be tough and firm, that's for sure. But it's not all bad! This card also shows real advancements in your life, the fulfillment of your goals. You will also start to feel that you're coming into your own when you see this card. It's your time and you shouldn't be afraid to be assertive and stand your ground. It's time you got what you deserve. 

There are times when this card can indicate some tough opposition though. So this is another reason why knowing what you want and going for it will serve you well! 

(Do you feel you are a dark and mysterious person? Then you will find yourself drawn in to the Secret Tarot set. It's got a subtle message that seems to whisper its guidance to you.) 

The meaning of each tarot card - The 6 of Wands

The 6 of wands tarot card - the Lord of the Victory! This is a card that speaks of triumph and feelings of justified pride. It's been a tough journey but the feelings of jubilation and of reward more than make up for it. So when you see this card, it's time to acknowledge that there is much to do. But don't despair, you have all the ability and opportunities to really make something happen. These are potentially life-changing opportunities - put everything you have into making it work.

The meaning of each tarot card - The 5 of Wands

The 5 of wands tarot card is one of tension and potentially arguments so it can be a bit unnerving to see it come up. It's certainly true that you are not in for the easiest time of it. But this card isn't as negative as it at first appears. Sometimes a bit of a fight is good for us. It shows us what we are truly made of and strengthens us. Also, if these fights show around a relationship, it's not always a bad thing to have a moment of honesty. As long as you don't let tempers get too out of control, a good old row can really clear the air!

So don't panic if you see the 5 of wands. Yes, it's going to be hard work. Yes, there there could be friction. But ultimately, you will be a better person for coming through it.

The meaning of each tarot card - The 4 of Wands

The 4 of wands is a lovely card! I always smile when I  see it come up in readings as it is almost endlessly positive. It can mean love, marriage, unity, togetherness, children or that your hard work is about to come to fruition. See what I mean? It's a good one! This card very often shows up for new love when I'm reading for someone single. It will often refer to a summer event but you will need to keep an eye out for your own signs with this card. But no doubt about it, it'll be a sign that you want to see! 

(If you like the Rider Waite deck and find it easy to interpret you may like to try to Mystic Dreamer tarot cards. They are beautifully illustrated and great for intuitive readers.)

The meaning of each tarot card - The 3 of Wands

The 3 of wands is all about your plans and hopes. When you see this card, it's time to start rolling your sleeves up and getting on with making it happen. I like to think of the 3 of wands as a bit of a reminder card. It says, yes you need a bit of luck to come your way and get you going where you want to in life. But you also need to start actively seeking success out. 

So whether it's love, career, business ideas or family matters - whatever you dream of. This card tells you that it's time to take steps to make it all happen. It will be reality if you can stick it out.
