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)

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.

Minor Arcana ( Reversed )

                                      

                                                          Wands

Ace:    At this time, the urge to change and develop is present but circumstances are delaying progress. In creative and intuitive matters, blocks and delays lead to impatience. Sexual and emotion relationships can also be subject to misunderstandings and dysfunction.

Two:   Partnerships filled with friction and misunderstands can occur when the Two of Wands is reversed. Delays and miscommunication in legal matters are par for the course. Sometimes it is because partners are seeking difference outcomes from their venture; one may want money while the other is searching for creative freedom. Being inflexible can lead to further misunderstandings.

Three:  Dreams are the starting point for any new venture. In order to become a reality, they need a combination of hard work and practical planning. When success fails at this point, it's usually because of unrealistic expectations and a lack of focused hard work. You may have another chance to live this dream later but next time be better prepared with the resources you currently have.


Four:   Your dreams, especially in terms of having a home, may but put aside for a little while. It doesn't mean that this dream must be abandoned but rather that there is still some more work for this to be achieved. When this card appears reversed, you may be in such a hurry to wrap things up, you don't realize how many loose ends you're leaving. The Four of Wands reversed is offering you a brief rest, time to collect yourself before you move forward. While the impatient part of you is annoyed by this, enjoy it while it lasts.


Five:   When the Five of Wands is reversed, legal issues or disputes are likely looming on the horizon. Any resolution to the legal problems will be the result of a lot of negotiation and understanding. Internal conflicts will frustrate and it seems there is no easy solution to these problems. While these trials can seem insurmountable, conclusion may be close at hand.


Six:   When the Six of Wands is reversed, don't expect to forge ahead in office affairs. From trouble to working with others, miscommunication in group projects, and small failures will cause tension for you at work. Whether with co-workers or managers, tempers will flare. The best you can hope for is to keep on until the energies change in your favor.


Seven:   Courage has fled and fear controls you when the Seven of Wands is reversed. You have tremendous talents and abilities but aren't using them - you're afraid to let yourself shine. There may not have been a lot of encouragement to take risks but this is the time for you to support yourself. If you reach and strive now, there is no limit to what you can  achieve.

Eight:   Delays, miscommunication and abandoning the need for speed are all part of the Eight of Wands reversed. It doesn't seem no matter now how well things have been planned, they can and will go awry. Now is the time to reassess your choices and think twice before committing to anything. The delays are beyond your control so remember to stay calm or reschedule to avoid headaches.


Nine:   Stress and the need to repair are part of the the Nine of Wands reversed. This card will appear during times of overwork, when you are feeling like you can't continue. Constant stress has burdened your body and mind and you need to take a break. You might feel driven right now to finish what you started but if you press on, your health will suffer.


Ten:   The responsibilities you shoulder right now with the Ten of Wands reversed are just right. Instead of feeling burdened, these are welcome responsibilities that reinforce your worth and create strong feelings of drive. In an environment of strong workers, you are nurtured and working at your best. External forces support you and you feel like you are in sync with your job. Promotions or raises are a likely result of all your hard work.


Page:   When the Page of Wands is reversed, it can be that learning disabilities are stopping the surge of creative ideas from coming through. It could be that over-activity is hindering their ability to learn; so much energy making it impossible to focus or stay sitting. Other recognized disabilities can also interfere. 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. Sometimes, the Queen of Wands reversed can stand for a slightly unstable person who wants only to create conflict. She loves to stir up trouble where ever she is. Keep her at a distance or her drama will absorb you.


King:   When the King of Wands is reversed, his fiery nature is self-centred and impatient. 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. Personally, his broad interests and lust for life make him a fun and fascinating partner. Only for the short time. 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. Sometimes this card appears when you are needing change at this point in your career. It could be that a project that once gave you much pride and pleasure leaves you feeling empty.

Five:   The Five of Cups reversed often signals that an emotional reunion is on the horizon. A friend or lover may suddenly reappear, giving you the chance to possibly rebuilt your relationship. 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 established relationships, there is always work that needs to take place to make sure both parties are feeling happy and respected. 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. These emotional disruptions affect you even more right now because they seem enough to break your heart. All the more important to speak from your soul and express the deep feelings you may have been hiding. Leave petty quarrels and misunderstandings behind you and try to find common ground. True love knows no distance.


Page:   The Page of Cups can refer to someone drowning in fantasy. Dreams and  nightmares can cloud even the day and intuitive impulses seem fearful and strange.


Knight:   The promise and artistic vision is clouded by emotional issues as well as a lack of motivation. He likes to receive advice - it makes him feel like he is doing something - but rarely will follow through it. He may be lost in his head, finding that his fantasies are better than reality.


Queen:   When the Queen of Cups is reversed, her moods become quick changing and her personality is overwhelmed by her emotions. The intensity of her mood affect everyone around her and she sometimes uses them to manipulate others. A woman who has long lasting emotional wounds, the pain affecting other aspects of her life. 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.



                                           SWORDS

Ace:   Imbalanced and troubled, when the Ace of Swords is reversed, changes can seem too sudden, delayed and not to your benefit. It speaks of a time where it is difficult to find agreement and others or yourself may seem argumentative even quarrelsome.


Two:  Think twice or even three or four times when the Two of Swords is reversed. Your advisers, intuition and knowledge are clouded and you are not in the best position to make any final decisions. Any changes will occur slowly. Honestly, right now that's for the best. There is an air of deceit the surrounds you and it will be hard find agreements that work to your advantage. While you'll feel like being impulsive to move things forward, you'll regret anything you agree to now.


Three:   Emotional stress and anxiety go hand in hand with the Three of Sword is reversed. Relationships are confusing, communication breaks down and it seems that there is only a great deal of emotional pain left to experience. When this card appears, the relationship has usually ended and healing has begun, even if it seems like the wounds are still raw. Every ending brings a new beginning.


Four:   When the need for rest is ignored, you arrived at the reversed position. This is the time when illness or anxiety will result in health issues needing a long period for healing. There is no longer the option to choose when to rest - the choice has been made for you. Rather than worry about how this will affect you, accept that it is necessary and let your body, mind and spirit heal. Four of Swords reversed can also refer to a time of social isolation where old friends have lost contact; however this is not permanent and new friends will arrive soon.


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. At this point, you have already lost this fight, no matter what else you say or do. Jealousy, pride and self-righteousness may be keeping you in battle but it is time to accept defeat and walk away. Accept what has happened, learn from it and start anew.

 
Six:   The Six of Swords reversed can sometimes feel like the eye in the center of the hurricane. All around, chaos and struggle loom on the horizon but only your grit and determination will see you through. Tenacity and the willingness to go on are required when this card is present. The only solutions available are temporary; now is the time to catch your breath rather than solve these issues.


Seven:   The Seven of Swords in a reversed position can indicate that an apology is soon to come your way. Something that was taken from you will be returned. You may experience some criticism, but it will be constructive. Be open to suggestions and advice. You will be acknowledged for your hard work. If you wish to succeed, you must be able to manage your emotions and thoughts. Do not lose sight of your goals. Seven of Swords warns against laziness and indecision. Keep a steady level of awareness as you could miss some new opportunities.


Eight:   A new state of mind brimming with movement comes with the Eight of Swords reversed. You've realized that the first step in changing your life starts with changing your thoughts. You've gained confidence and strength from the problems you solved. Be wary of people around you being thoughtless - stand up for yourself and make sure you receive the respect you're due.


Nine:   Brightness appears on the horizon when the Nine of Swords is reversed. Dawn is starting to break and the worst is over. You have seen your problems head on, faced your fears and are ready to make way for new things. Worry and stress will take time to fade and you'll still need to be gentle with yourself. When you allow your remaining fears and doubts to fade, harmony will slowly start to reappear.


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.    



                              PENTACLES

Ace:   When reversed, the Ace of Pentacles can suggest troubles or issues with money. Sometimes, these are emotion problems related to greed or hoarding; it relates to a general belief in scarcity no matter the circumstances. 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. At first, it is easy to blame your fluctuating moods on your job and money chaos. Really though, it is important to realize that the common denominator is you. 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. Either fear of failure or unwillingness to commit to the path of learning are the usual culprits. It's necessary to remember why and if gaining these skills are important to you and to realize that most good things require discipline and hard work.


Four:   When the Four of Pentales is reversed, your mind is consumed by thoughts of money. Whether financially worried, strapped for cash, or guilty of hoarding, greed or being miserly, you can't think beyond cash. It may be that your are the responsible one in your household and while others are spending up a storm, you are the one worrying about the bills. Never allow financial trappings to trap you.


Five:   Challenging situations are also present when the Five of Pentacles is reversed but in this case, you realize that only hard work and plenty of it will change your life. As soon as you start this process, other forms of help appear - maybe in the form of a grant or gift. While you won't forget the troubles you experienced, you realized that they have helped you become a stronger person.


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. A fool and his money are soon parted. If a settlement is indicated, it is usually a final division of money or property, like from a will or divorce.


Seven:   Mental and physical exhaustion is indicated when the Seven of Pentacles is reversed. Again, you've been working hard for little reward but in this case, there is no joy and you can't continue. This is a time to take a break and reassess the situation. You'll find that your attitude will change soon and you'll be able to move in a different, more productive direction soon. Right now, you're just exhausted.


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. Try to reconnect to your real talents and consider starting your own business or exploring another line of work. Staying where you are is cheating no-one but yourself.


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.


Ten:   When the Ten of Pentacles is reversed, the family that is so important to you can seem like a burden rather than a blessing. Perhaps you support relatives or are seeking support that isn't forthcoming. It may be that your family is vocal about how they think you should improve your life. Money matters are especially complicated and there are unexpected drains on your resources. Just when you thought you were getting ahead, that extra money seems to vanish.


Page:   When the Page of Pentacles is reversed, it can refer to a child that is very shy and has difficulty in interacting with others. This introverted behavior can also show itself as moodiness or being unable to express their feelings.


Knight:   When the Knight of Pentacles falls in a reversed position, there seem to be all sorts of little financial and career issues. It can also refer to the toll poverty takes personally, often diminishing self-confidence along with a bank account.


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.

The Minor Arcana ( Upright )

The Minor Arcana are 56 cards made up of four suits, Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each suit has 14 cards: Ace (1) through 10, and four court cards: Page, Knight, Queen and King. In this post I only put the meaning to the Minor Arcana cards in th upright position.



Wands
As the first suit, Wands are about ideas, intention, creativity, passion, enterprise and growth. Wands also represent the signs of Leo, Aries and Sagittarius the fire signs. Many Wands in a readings indicate that conditions are mostly in the early stages of development, they indicate that you are ready for action, but not having progressed beyond the realm of thought.




Ace:    Fiery and creative, the Ace of Wands speaks of energy and ambition. Ideas are not enough. It takes hard work and perseverance to take something from a though to reality. With the Ace of Wands, heady optimism mixed with ambition can make any dream come true.

Two: Power and success in career matters is often indicated by the Two of Wands. Productive partnerships may form at this point in time, and many positive relationships may develop at work. Two of Wands can also indicate a successful business man or woman who will act as a guide or mentor, working with you towards greater career achievements. Agreements in business or real estate will make you more money than you expect, and contracts can be easily negotiated.

Three: Opportunities are quickly approaching, particularly in the areas of creativity and career. These may be connected to relationships nurtured previously, and are likely ideas you've been pursuing for some time. Further growth of your ideas will occur, while some previously developed will start to bear fruit.

Four: Creating a country home, complete with a bountiful harvest waiting to be collected is the perfect visual for the Four of Wands. This card is about the stability a home provides and the importance that having this security can bring to you. When a home is signified by this card, it has been long awaited and will be a nurturing environment filled with love and hope. The Four of Wands is about building a strong foundation for years of future successes and growth.

Five: Competitive challenges are part of the Five of Wands. There are struggles and tests which may seem like a game sometimes and a fiery battle at others. The end result is a better product or ideas. These battles are just part of the process of challenging the old to create the new. Arguments will be common and it may be hard to hold you temper in check. Just remember that the Five of Wands has a purpose behind the words.

Six :
If you've been waiting for good news, the Six of Wands is a sign you'll soon hear it. A positive card filled with successful energy, the Six of Wands usually relates to business and career matters. What you achieve now has required a lot of effort but is well worth it. Negotiations requiring tact and compromise may have occurred to secure this success.

Seven:
When the Seven of wands appears, you are in a time where you are trying to stand up for yourself and what you believe in. Everything may seem like a major challenge and external energy is working against you. You may be at a point where it feels like no one is helping you and it is hard to persevere. The positive news is that you are nearly the end of your struggle and victory may soon be at hand. The bad new is that you need to muster up your courage and keep fighting the good fight until you win.

Eight :
When the Eight of Wands appears, news and opportunities may be arriving faster than you can see. Whether travel, education or change in career, the Eight of Wands brings expansion and change quickly. New horizons that expand your mind are highlighted. Energy that felt controlled or stilted is now flowing freely along with exciting opportunities.

Nine :
When the Nine of Wands appears, it is asking you to reach down deep inside yourself and find the energy you need to keep going. You may have overcome obstacles  to reach where you are, but you're not quite where you want to be. One last push and you'll be on the peak of that mountain. Remember that you need success to emanate from within you to reflect what is on the outside. Sometimes the Nine of Wands says that you don't fully accept of feel comfortable with your successes. Believe in yourself first, and others will too.

Ten :
With the Ten of Wands, you are on the brink of achieving a lifelong dream. Drive and ambition fuel your passion so all this hard work feels like less of a burden. Sometimes, all the energy you are pouring into this project may feel to be wasted; you doubt yourself and whether this means enough to you. Other times, your ambition may drive you to exclude areas of your life and make your work your sole focus. Learn to relax and leave work at work; you may feel like this is your calling, but you need a life too.
Page :
The Page of Wands can refer to a child or teenager of either sex and usually this card represents a person filled with creative impulses and good ideas. Sometimes the excitement of these ideas can be so great, projects fall to the side before completed. Energy is vibrant and contagious when the Page of Wands appears.

Knight :


Queen :
The Queen of Wands is a woman who loves company as much as she values her independence. Smart and sassy, she flies through life with great ideas which she loves to use to help people around her. Like the meaning of tarot cards in the Wands suit, this Queen is driven with her creative energy. Once you have gained her trust, she is unfailingly loyal and devoted - in friendship as well as love. She loves deeply and passionately and her sense of humour and fun lead to good times. While she doesn't appreciate or tolerate possessive behaviour, she needs admiration and a little reassurance to feel truly comfortable.

King :
The King of Wands is a energetic mover-and-shaker in the business world whose passion and energy is inspiring. Fair-minded and with an even personality, the King of Wands uses his humour and strong work ethic to create partnerships and opportunities. In his personal life, his love of the outdoors may lead him to live in a country or rural setting. In love, the King of Wands is a genuine romantic, passionate and honest. Sometimes, this King's passionate nature can lead him astray, making him fun and charming but ultimately unavailable. Falling in love with him could be pleasurable but is not for the person who wants a commitment.

Cups

 The Cups focus on emotions and matters of the heart. The meaning of each Tarot card in the Cups suit tend to guide emotional questions of almost any nature. Connected to the element of Water, this suit rules the Zodiac Water signs of Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio.

Ace:
A card that heralds the start of a new period of blossoming love, friendship and creativity. The Ace of Cups brims over with ideas, feelings and lovely new possibilities. Creative and intuitive periods are filled with imagination, artistic impulses and the birth of new ideas (or even a child). Nurturing and essential for development, the Ace of Cups creates a perfect environment for mutual passion and loving relationships.

Two:
When the Two of Cups appears, partnerships of every kind will benefit. If it is a matter of love, established relationships will become even more loving. For those who are looking for love, a new important affair will start. When a career question is indicated, a strong working relationship or business partnership will started; from the emotional and mental bonds, great things will be produced. When a friendship is indicated, it will be a strong relationship filled with warmth and fun.

Three:
Celebrations and happy events are all part of the Three of Cups. Weddings, house-warnings, anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, christenings - they are all part of the joy that comes with this card. Suddenly, there will be many reasons to enjoy family and friends, having good food and wonderful conversation. Sometimes this social whirlwind may seem a little much but it's best to relax and smile, enjoying yourself. It's not often there is so much to celebrate.

Four:
The Four of Cups speaks of emotional reassessment and dissatisfaction. Things and people that pleased you before don't anymore and you're uncertain what to do about it. Troubled by boredom, you're in need of a change - you just don't feel like doing it right now. Think of small things you can do to shake things up - how about a small vacation - and be open to new interests and friends. Just because you were disappointed in the past, doesn't mean that love has to hurt.

Five:
When the Five of Cups appears in a reading, it is a sign that we're looking at what we don't have rather than what we do. One of our deepest held beliefs was shattered and we were mourning its loss. Now is the time to suck it up and get over it! We need to look at what remains and decide what role it can play in our lives. Often appearing when a relationship is challenged, it is important to use the Five of Cups to reassess what is left.

Six:
Nostalgic memories play a strong role with the Six of Cups. Your emotional past, old connections, ex-lovers, old friends - all of these may be resurfacing to influence your future.
In some cases, the return may be to carry on where they left off; reconnecting with a lover, for instance. Other times, you might revisit your past to understand yourself better and learn what you need for the future.

Seven: 
When the Seven of Cups appears, it seems like you have many wonderful possibilities in your life. Now is not the time to act or try to pin them down. What you are seeing are beautiful illusions that need time and effort to become more concrete (or merely disappear). Sometimes, the excitement of these choices can divide your energy and commitment - after all, why choose one when you can try to have them all.

Eight:
With the Eight of Cups, there is the sense of abandoning an emotional relationship. It may be that this relationship has not brought you the happiness you thought it would. It can also indicate a relationship that has a great deal of emotional pain connected to it - you may have tried to resolve things in other ways but now your best option is to leave.

Nine:
 When you have the Nine of Cups, you are in a place of contentment, where love, ideas, creativity and friendship flow quickly and easily. There is a blissful quality to this card, where you know the value of all the work that went into arriving here; it helps you appreciate it all the more. All the emotional challenges that have irritated you so far, will suddenly resolve themselves. Relaxed and happy, you are open to all the new possibilities arriving now.

Ten:
The Ten of Cups is the pinnacle of happiness for it is the point where dreams can come true. Established relationships will only continue to grow and develop and new relationships are easy and filled with harmony. The self-love and respect developed spreads outward, affecting all you love with your joy. It is the card where wishes are granted but this is not just about luck. There was work, developing a stronger bond with yourself, that has lead to this point.

Page:
The Page of Cups can refer to younger people with big heart. Usually gentle and very loving, imagination and creativity are a big part of their life. Sometimes this sensitivity can interfere with emotional stability, leading to a lot of fears and anxiety.

Knight:
The Knight of Cups is a loving and creative symbol. Romantic and passionate, the Knight of Cups is a great believer in ideals and dreams. Sometimes indicating that a new romantic relationship is coming, what you will experience now is the idealized version - reality and problems have yet to intrude.

Queen:
Feminine and creative, the Queen of Cups is artistic and incredibly intuitive. Talented with a great deal of potential, she tends to work less than her potential; her laziness and lack of self-belief influence this. The Queen of Cups loves deeply and with a great deal of perspective, but with a tendency to put her partner first. Soft hearted, she can be very emotional and likes to nurture children and animals. She can't bear to see anyone or anything in distress and will do anything in her power to right wrongs. Sometimes her concern for others can make her forget her own obligations and commitments.

King: The deeply emotional and creative King of Cups is the most feminine of all the Kings. Regardless of career area, he is one of a kind and tends to be ruled by hunches rather than logic. He can have an engaging personality but his intensity can make others uncomfortable.
When he has been slighted or insulted he never forgets and can be vengeful. His emotional openness can lead him to be exceptionally kind but also incredibly moody - it's a double edged sword.

Swords

 The Swords control the mind or will. When I refer to the mind or will, it means that the meaning of each Tarot card in this suit can focus on intellectual questions or issues related to power. Connected with the element of Air, this suit rules the Zodiac Air signs of Aquarius, Gemini and Libra.

Ace:
Powerful and airy, the Ace of Swords is like the winds of change, bringing energy and vitality to new enterprises. Adding clarity to the mind and power to issues of justice, this card has often been connected to karma. The energy of the Ace of Swords is transformed, ending what has been outgrown and creating possibility for newness.

Two:
Calm after the storm is signified with the Two of Swords but it is an uneasy peace laced with tension. A problem has reached a stalemate and while there is balance, it is also clear that there isn't resolution yet. The Two of Swords can also refer to someone who is willing to maintain peace at any price. Not liking fights or disagreements, you may hide your own feelings or pretend like everything is okay to keep the peace. Emotions need to be vented so allow yourself to acknowledge what you're feeling to relieve pressure.

Three:
Heartache and confusion are present when the Three of Swords appears. These relationships were once pleasant and passionate, it may be discovered that there was no depth to sustain them. Usually, there is some form of betrayal involved. What was beautiful and romantic under the light of the moon is exposed as empty and possibly deceitful in the light of day.

Four:
The Four of Swords often appears after a time of illness or anxiety and reminds you that we all need time to rest and recuperate. Sometimes this break is needed for you to accurately see all that you have accomplished; there is nothing like a little distance to gain perspective. The Four of Swords is a message that you need to take a break; if you refuse to listen, your health may suffer for it. It can also suggest that a retreat or a withdrawal from modern appliances and their demands.

Five: 
A strong sense of disappointment and failure is inherent in the Five of Swords. It may be that in a quest for power, underhanded tactics were employed - lies, gossip and envy undermine everyone, including yourself. Your disappointment was necessary to force a more realistic plan of action. When following a path where nothing seems to work, this might not be your best course of action. The only thing affected if you change your mind would be your pride.

Six:
When the Six of Swords appears, your troubles are moving behind you. Part of this change will be you releasing your attachment to worrying about this issue. All areas of life will improve with the Six of Swords... relationships, money and career. It will be a relief to be moving ahead to a happier place. Physical travel can also be a focus and any travels will have you returning feeling more relaxed and optimistic towards the future.

Seven:
Restless energy and a burning desire for new ideas come with the Seven of Swords. This may be a time where new thoughts and directions are arriving faster than you can process them. You may also work quickly, shifting your time rapidly between multiple projects, not finishing anything. This is a time for mental stimulation and you need many things going on at once to feel satisfied. Be careful who you share your ideas with - there is the possibility that someone else will steal them and complete what you haven't.

Eight:
With the Eight of Swords, you are stuck. Part of this bondage lies in that you can no longer see anything new in your situation. Your thoughts may run around in circles and no matter how you try, you can't find a way out. Fresh thinking and some outside assistance are what you need to break free. Face your problems head on and accept the helping hand that is offered you. Expect the unexpected to move beyond this.

Nine:
The darkest hour is before dawn in the Nine of Swords. Worries and anxiety are overtaking your life, interrupting sleep and turning your fears into oppressive monsters. It's not as if what you worry about is all in your head. You have real problems in your life and you need to face them directly. You also need allow others to help you regain some perspective. There are solutions but they will take time and effort to create change in your life.

Ten:
The Ten of Swords often indicates betrayal, especially through gossip, betraying confidences and destruction of trust. Words are the enemy here so be cautious about committing anything to paper. When the Ten of Swords appears, it is usually an indicator that something important is coming to an end: beliefs, convictions, career or a relationship. Confronting that your shared time is over can be painful but at this point, you can't hide from it anymore. Moving forward, there is nowhere to go but up.
Page:
The Page of Swords is a young man or woman gifted with incredible insight. There is very little in logic or relationships they don't perceive. After gaining understanding of a situation, it doesn't take them long to turn it to their advantage. Intelligent and with brilliant communication skills, they are never at a loss for words. Brimming with broad ideas and fine details, they want to change the world. The only thing standing between them and greatness is a lack of planning to execute these ideas. In relationships, they often see themselves as a mediator though sometimes the term meddler would be more accurate. Meaning well, the Page of Swords can unconsciously cause more trouble than they resolve.

Knight:
No-one thinks more of the Knight of Swords than...the Knight of Swords. He is charming, seductive, intelligent but his sense of egotism can spoil the package. His courage is incredible and makes him take huge risks; it is rare that he is defeated in anything. Sometimes though, his confidence is misplaced. In his rush to win at any cost, he can cause pain or problems for others. He is bright with strong ideas that are worth pursuing. To better balance his need for glory with ethics, he would benefit from slowing down and considering others.

Queen:
The Queen of Swords is the most independent of the queens, able to care for and defend herself. Whether she has a companion or lives alone, she is happy and content. Living alone for the Queen of Swords means a life without bonds and a lot of freedom, both of which are very important to her. While she is free with her ideas, she tends to be secretive and mysterious and dislikes being like everyone else. Emotionally, she holds her cards close to her chest; she may seem hard-hearted but those who know the Queen best can vouch for her warm feelings. She can be exceptional loyal - that is the polite way of saying stubborn - when she has committed to an idea or action. Her mind is as sharp as a razor, and she has an unending thirst to learn. She doesn't quite fit with conventional society and hasn't yet learned to look at versus through people.

King:
The King of Swords is a expressive intellectual, whose combative nature can sometimes make every day a new struggle regardless of whether he is a lawyer, teacher or janitor. He is brave and intelligent, never hesitating to express his opinion; this is often seen  as aggressiveness. He is masterful against any enemy and his sharp mind can defend any attack. The King of Swords illustrates how a great mind when combined with successful energy can make anything happen. His words and strength open all sorts of doors - the King of Swords appreciates a strong mind and mixes easily with anyone . However, his strong nature sometimes will hamper his abilities to create change in society.  In relationships, the King of Swords can be a wonderful companion for great conversations; anything romantic is not his forte. He is more likely to act from his head than his heart. His emotional distance can sometimes feel cold; he does love but deeply and very distantly.

Pentacles

The Pentacles control issues in the physical world. It is a very physical suit so the meaning of each Tarot card may focus on family, money, health and home. Connected with the element of Earth, this suit rules the Zodiac Earth signs of Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.

Ace:

The beginning of prosperity, the Ace of Pentacles suggests transformation in all financial matters. New jobs, raises, the start of a new business, windfalls, inheritance: anything connected to new financial circumstances is brought by the Ace of Pentacles. Expressive and powerful, the new energy of the Ace of Pentacles signifies  lasting change for the better after a challenging period. It also indicates that security and contentment are not connected to finances alone; they are also a state of mind.

Two:

When the Two of Pentacles appears, you are being given the opportunity to develop new skills. Even though you may have to perform extra work to get something you want, it's important to see help when it arrives. You may develop additional skills to open your own business or some overtime for extra cash. The Two of Pentacles can also refer an imbalance in your work life. You may be experiencing financial fluctuations where one month you are scrambling for spare change while the next you have more money than you can count.

Three:

The Three of Pentacles is all about putting in time and effort to gain reward. For those people that have invested in learning a new skill and becoming a master of a field of work, especially the arts or crafts (including woodwork and construction), they are just about to be rewarded. Having spent time to reach the height of a profession, you are now regarded with respect.

Four:

If you've been through a period where every dollar had to be stretched 5 ways, things will be getting easier. The Four of Pentacles doesn't represent a period of extreme riches but it is about financial stability. When you see the Four of Pentacles, you will have more money coming in than going out and with some planning, will even have some money left over.

Five:

The fact that your lack may be related to previous over-spending won't make you feel any better. Lack of confidence and a low sense of self worth are also indicated. There is no easy solution but it is crucial to have faith that your circumstances will change.

Six: 

A card signifying bounty and gifts, the Six of Pentacles represents generosity which you will give or receive. On the one hand, you may receive a donation or grant which will help you forge ahead in school or business. Remembering help you received, you may be the source of a legacy or donation to benefit others. If you are currently struggling, expect that help is on its way. When you are in a better position, make sure to pay it forward so a circle of generosity is established.

Seven:

Sometimes with money, there is a lot of labour before you start to see the reward. That's how it is with the Seven of Pentacles. You may find yourself almost exhausted from the amount of work you're doing but still worried about the outcome. You may have sleepless nights where you worry about whether you did the right thing or whether you are wasting your time but these fears are pretty groundless. What is being built is an enterprise that is satisfying to your soul and will eventually fill your pockets.

Eight:

New skills and expanding career horizons are all indicated by the Eight of Pentacles. This is a time where you have the opportunity to learn new things, apply previous knowledge and take some extra courses to add another feather to your cap. This doesn't really indicate starting something new but rather building upon previous skills. In terms of money, small savings and gifts should be carefully invested to increase your worth.

Nine:

Pleasure and financial comfort resound with the Nine of Pentacles. Your hard work is rewarded and it is time for you to enjoy the finer things in life. Spending money on your home, clothing, and yourself is part of treating yourself well and isn't self indulgent. Money flows easily and is not a source of worry to you right now. Love of nature and spending time outdoors and nurturing a garden can also be indicated. Indulge in the things that give you pleasure - you deserve it.

Ten:

Money and family are intertwined with the Ten of Pentacles. Sometimes this can be quite literal, in the case of family businesses, inheritance, loans, or other financial help. Perhaps extended family share a home and in this way the money is interconnected. With the Ten of Pentacles, it can also be important to show your family that you are successful and desire their approval for how you make money and live you life. The Ten of Pentacles offers prosperity and comfort, money invested and saved and allows you to look at the long term growth of your wealth.

Page:

The good natured Page of Pentacles is blessed with a happy and balanced personality. Sometimes the individual represented may have a sweet tooth and be a little chubby. While they are pleasant, they have the need for security and lack of imagination common to all the Pentacle court cards.

Knight:

The Knight of Pentacles is just beginning his adult life but his strong determination and sense of purpose has already marked him for success. He is motivated, ambitious and a strong worker - but can be a little boring. He is down-to-earth and comfortable with himself but what he has in purpose he lacks in creativity. He is an excellent friend or business partner who is steadfast and loyal. Knowing the meaning of hard work, he is dedicated and always see things through. He won't give up at the first obstacle and is firmly focused on the future.

Queen:

The Queen of Pentacles is a kind and warm lady, long connected to all types of luxury including rich food, expensive clothes and elegant homes. Her appreciation for the finer things in life often connects her with art history and antiques. A practical and grounded friends, she is in her element in any type of crisis. In relationships, her sensual nature is as open as her deep feelings but she sometimes needs her partner to have wealth to feel secure. Her stability is attached to her environment - as such, she dislikes noise, dirt or hardship in general. Her common sense is a great help in business and her drive to create order will make her an excellent manager in any area. She can work hard in less exciting jobs if she feels they will benefit her in the long term.

King:

The King of Pentacles is a wealthy and practical man whose caution and sense of responsibility has made him successful in business. His foresight and patience allow him to plan for most practicalities and probabilities; he is rarely caught off guard. A loyal friend and lover, the King of Pentacles loves the finer things in life. Conservative and reliable, he prefers traditional environments and proven concepts. He may be possessive but this is partly due to his needs for security and his big heart.
