Tarot has not only helped bring fresh insight into making choices, I have developed trust in my instincts and intuition.

Astrology

Aries

Tarot Numerology

Every card in the Tarot deck is associated with a number except for the court cards. These numbers are based on the principles of numerology and represent a material and spiritual evolutionary process that begins with the number 1 and ends with the number 9.

The Major Arcana numbers 1 to 22 follow the same numerological  cycle as the numbers 1 through 9 in the numerology, but continue in the Wheel of Fortune(#10) on a higher turn of the spiral  as a compound number ( 1+0=1).

In the Minor Arcana, the Aces are read as a number 1 because they indicate a fresh start or new beginning. There are no 10s in numerology except as a compound number. The number 10 in the Tarot is read as a number 1 (1+0=1) and represents that a cycle is rebeginning that signals a major change from one thing or place to another . The number 10 also points to a time when one must come to terms with something that may have been avoided in the past.      

I have divided each number into three sections to provide insight into their meanings. The first is the hidden and underlying message, the second is both the positive and negative, the third is what it means if there are multiples.  

Number 1

Message: Inspiration and aspiration. It deals with that which is about to take form, take shape, or manifest.  

Positive & Negative: Creation, ideas, beginnings, will, invention, originality, drive, incentive, determination, independence.   Willfullness, selfishness, undue force.

Multiples: Many 1s indicate that a situation is about to begin, or is in the beginning stages, and some or all of the positive or negative elements mentioned above will be involved.

Number 2  

Message: Assimilate and envision. It is the intellet directed, and its function is to imagine. It is the cooperator whose success is not gained by force, but by patience. 

Positive & Negative: Waiting, sharing, balance, receptivity, diplomacy, gentle persuasion, application, agreement, insight.  Intolerance, Impatience, imbalance.

Multiples:  Many 2s indicate a waiting period where there will be partial success but more to be revealed later. They can also indicate a reconciliation, a reunion, and/or an element of surprise.

Number 3

Message: Expression. It is the cementing factor of the numbers 1 and 2, and its power is through its word, which goes forth in order to bring into being that which is desired and envisioned.

Positive & Negative:  Communicating, feeling, enjoying, sharing, self expressing, love. friendship, popularity.  Withholding communication, scattered energy, overreacting, overindulging, criticism.

Multiples: Many 3s indicate group activities or situations involving more than one person. They can delay, but with the promise of future success.

Number 4

Mesage: Manifestation. It is the result of a well built foundation and proper application. It is that which comes forth as a result of desire, imagination, and emoting.

Positive & Negative: Practical application, formation, foundation, concentration, organization, working, building, planning.  Plodding, exacting or dull work, too much attention on the material, limitation, blocks, and opposition.

Multiples: Fruitation or manifestation of an idea, along with the foundation or space where things can grow.

Number 5

Message: Change, expansion, and re-creation. It also represents the desire to know, which demands that one must look to both the material and the spiritual realm in order to extract the truth.

Positive & Negative: Curiosity, spirituality, new thinking, new opportunities, magnetism, attraction, good fortune, travel and adventure.  Defeatism, dogmatism, fear of change, misfortune, failure.

Multiples:  Many 5s indicate change, challenge, and fluctuations (lucky and unlucky). They also indicate material prosperity but spiritual poverty, if not properly balanced or understood. 

Number 6

Message: Adjustment. It is the balancing factor that unlocks the mystery of the number 5, as it provides the ability to discern both the higher and the lower, andbring the into harmony.

Multiples:  Many 9s in a reading mean that situations or events are nearing completion, or have just been completed, and another plateau awaits.  

Start A Tarot Journal

Keeping track of your Tarot Card spreads are important. Writing them down means you won't lose any insightful information from prior spreads. When you return to look at your spreads 3 or 6 months later you realize that the cards say much more than you noticed.  Writing down your readings provide a visual record and assists your memory. With your  arot Journal  in front of you, you can pull the cards out again to see what they have to say to you now.When you record every spread you do in some form, you're sure to learn a great deal when you look back, and you'll be recording your own history in the process.  When you look back at your readings you did over a period of time, you'll begin to notice that certain cards seem to recur much more than others. If a Major Arcana card recurs frequently whether up right or reverse, remember that the card represents a lesson you need to learn. If the card is upright you are fine, but if it is reversed, it could be that  you are resisting the message or messager.   

Telling Time

It's difficult for even the most skilled Tarot reader to judge when an even will take place. One thing to note though, when shuffling be sure to specify how you will measure time - weeks, days, months, years, etc.

The Major Arcana cards usually indicate that the event will happen soon.
The Minor Arcana predicts denote days or weeks.

The Aces signify the seasons.
Ace of Wands (Autumn) 
Ace of Cups    (Summer)
Ace of Swords (Winter)
Ace of Pentacles (Spring)


The Court cards predict the months.

Major Arcana ( Reversed )

The Major Arcana  is at the heart of the Tarot. A whole range of human life and experience is represented by the Major Arcana. It is symbolic of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspects of humankind. The cards are thought to illustrate the strengths, hopes and fears, weaknesses, the most godly and darkest parts of an individual. In Tarot readings, these meanings can change significantly depending on whether or not the card appears in its upright or reversed position. Other factors that can determine a card’s meaning can include where the card appears in a Tarot spread.


0 The Fool   
It is one of those times when prudence is needed but you still may be tempted to throw caution to the wind. You still have plenty of enthusiasm but luck has momentarily left you. In love, the person who has your heart may turn out to be selfish and unable to commit. Like with financial risks, take time before investing. You may realize that you are more conventional than you thought. Other people's eccentricities that you may have found charming now just rub you the wrong way.







1 The Magician 
  When the Magician is reversed, you may find yourself unable to make a choice. You've spent time considering the possibilities but you're stuck in your thoughts. Plans or opportunities that seemed like sure things haven't panned out - is the problem lack of commitment or lack of resources? You still have choices to make, especially about priorities. You are the only person who can bring your dreams to life.







2 The High Priestess
In the times when the High Priestess is reversed, it is the time for observation not action. Your problems are deeper than you thought. You need time to understand what is really going on before committing to a course of action. Sometimes, the High Priestess reversed can indicate that you are hiding your intuitive feelings or trying to hide from another secret part of yourself. You may be surrounding yourself with empty chatter and shallow friends as a distraction. In some cases, this card can refer to hidden destructive forces around you. This is a time to understand the situation rather than attempting to change it.



3 The Empress   
When the Empress is reversed, the energy that is normally so abundant has been stalled or blocked. You may be experiencing financial or creative losses, disappointments in relationships and general discomforts. Your home seems less comfortable somehow and your pleasures are diminished. When times are hard, it is even more difficult when there is no end in sight. The Empress reminds us that there is a time and a season for everything and no matter the challenges, this too will pass. You may need to give yourself a little nudge though.








4 The Emperor  
When the Emperor is reversed, it may seem like nothing you do can affect change in your life. While this may be a time where authority figures feel particularly constraining, learning to work with rules and regulations now may be the key to future successes. If you are used to having power, you may find that your are forced to work with others; your perspective could see this as a loss of authority. This could also be a time where you have to work through a relationship with a dominant partner or parent.





5 The Hierophant  
As the Hierophant becomes reversed, you may feel as if a revolution has begun deep inside yourself. You will march to the beat of your own drum and want to thoroughly cast away all the rules and structure that has been drilled into you. This may be a time where you discover that the religion you were born with no longer resonates with you and you are searching for new answers. It is a time where you need to be cautious in the advice you receive and realize that anything you commit to now will disappoint you later.





6 The Lovers 
When the Lovers is reversed, there seems to be something missing in your relationships. Control becomes an issue and dysfunction and miscommunication are the norm. Some difficulties may stem from jealousy or insecurity but really other issues are below the surface. If you are offered the chance to take part in an affair, think carefully. While it may satisfy your physical desires, emotionally you may end up losing out. Another possibility is that your partner may not be completely honest with you at this time. Delay any decision until you can see the entire situation clearly.




7 The Chariot 
When the Chariot is reversed, you have become your own worst enemy. When you view other people's successes, you are jealous and dismiss the hard work. Addiction can cloud your ambition and you are convinced that the world owes you something. While you have talents, you never use them to your fullest advantage. A lack of self-belief may be holding you back but really you just have to commit to action. A plan is needed now, to best use your abilities and keep you focused.

8 Strength
 The faith and love that made you believe anything was possible has vanished - you are left with fear and doubts. Without rediscovering your courage, you have a hard time moving forward and reaching for success. In some cases, the meaning of this Tarot card can refer to someone who has given up, on themselves and life's opportunities. It is important to realize that the only thing standing in the way of change and transformation is fear and the doubt it creates.

9 The Hermit
Some people need to be surrounded by friends or family at all times - they fear loneliness. When the Hermit is reversed, the meaning of this card can be interpreted as solitary confinement. You want and need people around you but are still very much alone. Often, this need for company is to distract from internal issues. Part of having growth and maturity is the ability to see and accept yourself as you are now. If you receive some advice at this time, it will be foolish to ignore it. Examine your objections. It could be that your desire to ignore this suggestion comes more from stubbornness than anything else. The Hermit reversed calls your attentions to distractions of every kind. There is nothing wrong with relaxing as long as your obligations are also being met.




10 The Wheel of Fortune 
When the Wheel of Fortune is reversed, this Tarot card seems to bring bad luck that you can't quite shake...yet. Don't fear that this phase will last forever. Just like in every other area of life, there is a time and a season for everything. Now is not the time to forge ahead with new plans but to bide your time. Like the Chariot taught us, we can accomplish more by
working with the energies of the universe than to work against them. This is a time of unexpected problems, delays, and issues galore.

11 Justice 
  Any legalities or disputes will take longer to be resolved. Delays, injustice and a general imbalance come to light when this card is reversed. Court dates will get moved, legal fees will climb and it seems like nothing in life is fair. Divorce and other settlements will not favour you and anything that involves a contract or paperwork will get complicated and confused. Other times when Justice is reversed, this Tarot card can indicate that a marriage may be dissolved. If this is the case, it could be a very amicable split. There are no hard feelings or troubles arriving at terms - it is just a case that both parties realize that they have grown apart.



12 The Hangedman
When the Hanged Man Tarot card is reversed, it can indicate that you are caught up in material issues and can be too self-absorbed. It is always important to take care of yourself but you need to also see the world around you. Bad investments and financial losses can also affect you now. You are being reminded to remember that you need to be conscious of your actions and the price that results from them.

13 Death
When the Death card is reversed, it reveals that this is a time when you are resisting change. Your stubbornness is creating a stale environment around you, which drains your energy and slows you down. Life feels like it has lost its sparkle; you feel like you're living in perpetual deja vu. Variety is the spice of life; trying to prevent it is just establishing a boring status quo. If there are other positive, energetic cards around it, Death reversed can mean that it is time to wait and see. Watch what's going on and bide your time. Once you allow yourself to acknowledge that you are ready to move on, a new cycle will begin.



14 Temperance
Arguments and misunderstandings abound when Temperance is reversed. It doesn't seem to matter what you try, life is out of balance and harmony is absent. It may seem like there is not enough time to get things done. Sometimes it can show you that spreading yourself too thin is dividing your energy and stopping you from accomplishing things. Emotions run high and at work or home, you feel unnecessary competition spurring you on.





15 The Devil
When the Devil is reversed, this Tarot card is telling you that your attitudes towards money, power or sex are likely unbalanced. You are absolutely absorbed by the material world and may be stuck in a greedy and self-absorbed mindset. At the same, it is hard for you to let go of this need for more and you may feel trapped and depressed. Relationships at this time can be equally unbalanced, usually with one partner calling all the shots. In spite of issues, there may be an element of bondage in this relationship that makes it hard to leave. It might be illogical to everyone around you but many people do stupid things in the name of love.





16 The Tower
 When the meaning for this Tarot card is reversed, the effects become even more revolutionary and chaotic. While the Tower often seems like a punishment, when it is reversed, it seems less fair. The company you work for could go out of business without warning with all employees laid off; this may lead to the time you need to discover a much-loved second career. When you are in the midst of experiencing these changes, you may feel like you need to know why. Sometimes indicate prison or being stuck in a situation. While you might not be able to free yourself right now, the freedom you seek will come but it has a price.

17 The Star
When this Tarot card is reversed, its meaning connects to the dark moments of the heart when it feels like nothing will ever work. At this low point, you may doubt your abilities and what you can achieve. While this is connected to recent events you perceive as failures, you're also worn down and need a break. In spite of your exhaustion, you refuse to relax and let go. The Star still offers the chance of success. It is a time where you would benefit from removing yourself from this situation and taking a change to reassess before continuing. In terms of relationships, this card can refer to a period where emotions are detached and there is a lack of sharing in a relationship; tension and pessimism may play a role in this.



18 The Moon
When the Moon is reversed, you are entering a period where the line between dreams and reality has become blurred. You may have false people around you or find it hard to be honest with yourself. In the resulting chaos, nothing is concrete and everything is more than a little confusing. It's not the time to bet on anything. Job offers will evaporate, potential homes will be bad investments: nothing is what it seems. Keep your ideas to yourself and be wary of any advice you receive. Depression, alcoholism, drug abuse, and illness can all appear when the Moon is reversed.




19 The Sun
While the Sun's warmth is crucial for growth and development, the Sun reversed can indicate too much of a good thing. You haven't backed up your hopes with solid action. Success starts from an idea but takes a lot of hard work to become a reality. In terms of relationships, you might be travelling down some rocky roads. It may feel like you aren't respected or ignored but there is a lot of history in this relationship. The same sort of troubles can also influence business relationships. Behind the quarrels, there is a feeling of imbalance that affects everything. Children can be a concern, especially in terms of illness. In many cases, this may be fear more than reality. If there are other positive cards around, success will arrive but take a little longer.

20 Judgement
When Judgement is reversed, you may be wishy-washy about making a much-needed decision. This inability to commit to a decision is creating a boring void in your life. Now is the time to make up your mind and move ahead. If you don't decide, a decision will be made for you. Often Judgement relates to a fear of change. You might be someone who is dependent on routine and avoids decisions whenever possible. Emotionally, Judgement can indicate a painful loss that you haven't yet recovered from. You may be parted from your lover or have to spend time away from your family due to work.

21 The World
Success is so close that you can taste it but is still elusively out of reach. On occasion, the opposite can be true - you've reached that pinnacle but want to resist moving forward. Enjoy your successes but you will reach a point where you do have to move again. You can't stop the passage of time. Relationships influenced by the World may be over but unresolved. Lingering like a bad odor, you'll need to revisit the past before you can move forward and let things go. A previous bad ending may be making you reluctant to love again - with The World, you can be assured that a positive relationship is waiting for you if you are open to it. When related to work, The World reversed can suggest a feeling of panic or lack of planning. You don't feel ready for whatever lies ahead and completion is being delayed. The World is a powerful and positive card regardless of its position and it brings wonderful change at its own pace. Let go and enjoy the ride.

Promotions or raises are a likely result of all your hard work.

It is important to resolve these difficulties before frustration outweighs the love of learning.


Knight:   The Knight of Wands can come into your life almost like a con-man. He is fast talking and always looking to get what he wants without a thought to anyone else. Even when you know this is his character, his charming words and easy smile make him hard to resist. Don't give him anything you value, whether a possession or your heart.


Queen:   Naturally giving, the Queen of Wands can be guilty of making promises she doesn't keep. She means well but her flightiness over time will make some friends not take her seriously. The same loyalty that makes her a wonderful friend is also present in her less loving moods. She can hold jealousy and anger long after the original offense has been committed.

Still a master of the boardroom, he is driven by greed that is not controlled by ethics; he will step on anyone to get to the top.

His desire to please himself and love of freedom mean that a long-term arrangement isn't in the cards.




                               CUPS

Ace:   When the Ace of Cups is reversed, it represents a time of emotional drain and chaos. It may refer to one-sided or exhausting relationships that demand more emotional effort than they return. Creative ideas and artistic projects seem to have dried up and a general feeling of being uninspired is present. Emotional demands seem constant, leaving you feeling empty and needing to withdraw.

Two:   Emotional hardships and imbalance are suggested with the Two of Cups reversed. It is a time when it seems hard, if not impossible, to understand where others are coming from. Arguments go around in circles and it may feel like the current situation will never get resolved. Often, the best thing you can do is to just take a break; give yourself and others time to calm down and then reassess the situation. It's important to take things slowly and not do anything too rash. While it may seem hopeless, all is not lost. There is no need to think of abandoning a relationship completely. All you need is a little time and understanding.


Three:   Over-the-top indulgence is the key phrase for the Three of Cups. It's one thing to enjoy yourself, but you're having a hard time doing anything else. This can also speak of financial over-spending, allowing your joy to blind you to the balance in your bank account. Take a break from the social scene to regroup and get some much needed sleep.


Four:   The Four of Cups reversed often represents someone who cannot be alone. Needing the reassurance of people around them, they create a frantic social schedule that allows no time for pleasure, only distraction.

With the new knowledge and experiences you have, it could become even stronger the second time. The emotional hurt experienced leaves you cautious and better able to decide whether a second chance is worth the risk.


Six:   Living in the past is no way to enjoy the present or embrace the future. When the Six of Cups is reversed, you hold your past up to block your future. Remember that our memories of what happened are selective. Usually only the prettiest thoughts of the past remain. We can also use our past to prove our lack of worth. Perhaps our family or lover was non supportive - in this case, these memories and the doubts they create belong firmly behind us. A fresh start begins with realizing who we currently are, and not buying into what people think we should be.


Seven:   A dreamy and hazy fantasy world exists within the Seven of Cups reversed. Reality is something you don't want to connect with - living in your dreams or clouding your thoughts with drugs or alcohol is much nicer. You may be deceiving yourself with your relationships and need to search for reality rather than deluding yourself. Sometimes what is real is not as pleasant as your fantasies, but reality is what grounds you.


Eight:   When the Eight of Cups is reversed, you have entered a depressing period of emotional confusion where fantasy and reality have blurred. Desperate from emotional wounds, you have shut yourself off from the people around you and are suffering from emotional exhaustion. At the core of this is your need for perfection, in yourself and in others. Reach out for help to move beyond this point.


Nine:   When the Nine of Cups is reversed, you are in danger of forgetting where you came from and taking your current happiness for granted.

With all matters, if you ignore the behind-the-scenes maintenance, you are at risk of losing everything that you've worked so hard to create.


Ten:   When the Ten of Cups is reversed, you may feel that you are on the brink of losing what is most important to you. Homes might be sold, children and friends move away, lovers become distant.

When someone is trapped in this part of the Queen of Cups, her talents are rarely used. She is aware of them but lacks the esteem and hope to use them.


King:   The King of Cups is transformed into someone who can't or won't deal with reality; drugs, alcohol and fantasies are used to forget. Unable to fully express his feelings, he may go through life convinced that no-one can really understand or accept him. While the King of Cups reversed can indicate a man who is unfaithful in love, he generally will also be someone who can't decide which partner he wants to be with. Emotionally deep, there is the possibility that love will drown all parties.

Five:   When the Five of Swords is reversed, it is time to cut your losses. Sometimes, wanting to prove we were in the right becomes more important than being right.

Accept what has happened, learn from it and start anew.

Ten:   With the Ten of Swords reversed, it is time to address how your own negative thinking and deeply held beliefs are affecting your life. You may not realize how pessimistic you've become but there is an element to self-fulfilling prophecy in your life. Start to explore how you can slowly change your mindset and embrace positive thought patterns. Stay open to improvements and they will start to enter your life.


Page:   When the Page of Swords is reversed, the perceptive nature can become petty and spiteful. Ideas are more important than feelings and anything that challenges their logic will be ignored. Emotionally, there can be a great deal of hidden anxiety. Ideas are easy to control and create - people don't respond in the same way. The Page reversed may be very sensitive, a result from critical family or friends. In spite of the criticism, this might be the most comfortable place for the Page reversed.


Knight:   Still bright and competitive, the Knight of Swords reversed is even more destructive. Rarely feeling remorse, he moves from challenge to challenge, taking whatever is needed for his own ends. Any good ethics have disappeared and his motivation is self-oriented. To manage himself, he can sometimes resort to abuse of drugs or alcohol; moderation of any kind can be a real challenge. Still moving against the status quo, the Knight reversed drifts through life, always looking for the next opportunity.


Queen:   The Queen reversed can get caught up in her thoughts to much and forget her heart completely. Acting only from logic, she becomes cold and distant. She can also be cruel when she feels provoked and spares no mercy in her verbal attacks. Reversed, the Queen abandons any pretense of politeness and tells you exactly what she thinks.   Her stubbornness will continue at disadvantage to herself and everyone around her. Critical beyond sense or reason, she is displeased by everything around her and will stand in judgment.


King:   When the King of Swords is reversed, his charm has evaporated and the only thing that seems to be left is his biting tongue. Unfair attacks seem to arise from nothing. He is critical of everyone and everything. Like a lightning storm, these flashes of his intense mood can devastate. Unfortunately, it also affects every aspect of his life. Professionally, he manages to isolate himself from co-workers and supervisors. For all his enterprise, very little can be accomplished as he alienates people. Still ambitious, ruthlessness achieves what his free-speech can't. Reversed, the King is arrogant and cold with others, even those he cares about.

It can also indicate that a new source of income can provide you with more money but not necessarily happiness.


Two:   If the Two of Pentacles is reversed, everything seems out of balance. Money seems to go out faster than it comes in and trying to sort out looming debts can seem impossible.

Once you stop acting aimless, everything else will gain direction and purpose.


Three:   The Three of Pentacles in a reversed position often speaks of delays in success; the cause is usually yourself.

Six:   Financial settlements and loss often occur when the Six of Pentacles is reversed. As a caution to take care, remember to treat your money with respect and use it wisely.

Eight:   Hard work without pleasure comes when the Eight of Pentacles is reversed. You may have outgrown your job or feel limited at work. There seems to be nothing new to learn and no where to grow.

Nine:   Money seems to be scarce when the Nine of Pentacles is reversed. It is time to examine the lifestyle you've been acustomed to and be prepared to cut things back on luxuries. Unexpected expenses drain your resources and you may have made bad or risky investments that are coming back to haunt you now.

Queen:   When the Queen of Pentacles is reversed, her practicality has the better of her and every area of her life is ruled by material possessions. Her insecurities have led her to become selfish and hard. She may spend freely upon herself with little concern for others around her. She may even stay in a poor relationship for money. In business, she is often overly-ambitious; her upward climb is motivated solely by money and future gains. She only has people around her that are useful, and a solid bank-balance is more valuable than a friend would be. Ambition drives her to success but personally, she is alone.


King:   The King of Pentacles is usually a boring stick-in-the-mud when reversed. His stubbornness makes him a bully who won't consider anything he isn't familiar with. Tight with money, his behavior could be seen as simply cheap. His conservatism limits his business opportunities - unwilling to take any risks, big or small, good opportunities pass him by.
