Page of Pentacles and the Ten of Pentacles

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using two cards from the Original Rider Waite tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Page of Pentacles: This card, being a page, represents information coming your way and since Pentacles brings the elemental energy of Earth into force, it would have something to do with practical, day to day concerns of a material nature such as health, money, work related tasks or learning a new skill.

It could also indicate a trustworthy child, ward or younger person eager to take ownership of important family matters, someone who wants to assist or contribute in a small way for a larger group or cause.

Card2 - Ten of Pentacles: This card shows an image of material success and abundance with emphasis on long term asset building, family legacies and a cautious, conventional approach to the material aspects of life. Family issues and especially those concerned with incomes, expenditures and safeguarding of tangible assets may be in your mind this week.

You may receive some positive information or news concerning financial investments or property matters. Some of you might become serious about health and take steps for improvement in this direction.

There is a clear focus on both health and wealth this week and a reverential attitude towards the tried and tested. Your thinking is more grounded at this time and your goals and actions more realistic. Stay inspired as you inch closer to your dreams and have a wonderful week!

The Tower and the Three of Pentacles

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I drew two cards from the Rider Waite tarot for this reading.

Card 1: The Tower - This card shows a scene of chaos, upheaval, disturbance. The depiction is of two people being forcibly thrown out of a tower that has been struck by lightening. The people are shown mid air, heading towards a craggy landing place in the middle of the night.

The Tower card represents a powerful force of nature that can upend the carefully planned structure of our life in a sudden, chaotic event. There is a sense of powerlessness about this card and of being forced out of our comfort zone. You may experience some unease this week. It could manifest as a radical and life changing experience for some, a minor disturbance for others; however, it will cause a shift in energy and new perspectives to emerge.

Astrologically, the Tower card stands for the fiery planet Mars and you would feel its intensity at the beginning of the week. On a mundane level there could be angry outbursts or arguments and for a short while it may make things around uncomfortable. Just remember that this was inevitable, that there was no way life could continue in the same path without the release of this energy.

Card 2: Three of Pentacles - This card shows a skilled craftsman conferring with two people about some work related matter. The central figure in the card seems to be a leader, someone who knows his job and is confident about what he is doing.

This is a card of work done with dedication, finesse and self confidence. A very positive card to have with regards to professional matters and brings recognition for efforts and a rise in social standing.
Astrologically, this is Mars in the zodiac sign of Capricorn where the planet is exalted and very powerful.

Both the cards point to a need to channelise your high energy into purposeful and constructive activities. Mars energy being very action oriented gives you personal power, focused concentration and will power to finish long pending tasks, take quick, effective decisions and influence people. But it may also bring impulsiveness and insensitivity to others so take some time to think through before you act. Stay positive and have a wonderful week!

Knight of Swords and The World

Today I decided to chuck the positional three card spread we've been doing for sometime and just pick two cards that would show what to expect in the upcoming week. It's a more intuitive way of seeking guidance and direction from the cards and paying attention to the duality underlying our lives. Also, my camera is behaving weirdly so I hope my words can convey the sense of the cards.

Card 1: Here we have the Knight of Swords on horseback, carrying a sword of course, and charging at high speed towards his goal. This card, being of the element of Air, indicates someone with a keen intellect and a gift of the gab. Someone who is fair minded and often in an extreme way, is impulsive, stands up for the cause of justice but can also tend to intellectualize issues and come across as thoughtless and insensitive. You could be this way, overly focused on something that's still up in the air and not pausing to consider the consequences. 

The Knight of Swords also represents events and situations happening at breakneck speed that may cause some kind of chaos and disturbance in day to day routines. It may represent sudden travel plans  or situations needing urgent attention. 

Card 2: Here we have The World card, the last of the major cards that represents completion of a goal, emotional fulfillment, success of an important endeavour and joyful involvement in a project. 

Astrologically this is Saturn, the planet that imparts wisdom through tough experiences and rigorous discipline. In combination with the first card it bodes well for whatever comes your way this week. While it may start off as chaotic and cause minor disturbance in daily routines it will end well and with a feeling of immense personal satisfaction for you. 

Overall it's going to be a fast paced week with some high energy that may seem overwhelming but will leave you with greater wisdom, endurance and ability to cope. Be realistic and back words with action when pursuing goals. Have a wonderful week! 

Weekly Tarot forecast - May 9 to May 15

Card images from the Universal Waite tarot:
Knight of Cups, Queen of Pentacles, Two of Swords

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Universal Waite tarot deck for this reading.

Card1 - Knight of Cups: This card shows the key atmosphere or theme this week. The Knight of Cups represents a high degree of emotional energy coming your way. It could be the influence of someone you know. Someone sensitive, warm and diplomatic who you feel comfortable sharing your issues and concerns with.

It could also represent an event where you would have a chance to express your emotional energy such as interaction with an old friend, colleague or family member.
Invitations to an event, either personal or professional, are also sometimes indicated by this card.

Card 2 - Queen of Pentacles: This card represents you and your reaction to the energy shown by card 1. The Queen of Pentacles is someone very down-to-earth, practical and resourceful. It is also someone who knows the value of little, everyday things and cares for them in a nurturing sort of way.

With regards to the emotional energy of the Knight of Cups, your attitude is receptive, understanding and generous. You may have to play the role of a listener or provide some sound, practical advice to someone who eagerly seeks it out. As Pentacles stand for the material aspects of life, including money and health, you may have to deal with these as your primary areas of concern this week, most likely with regards to people you are required to care for.

Card 3 - Two of Swords:  This card represents how things will progress this week. You may have to assume a noncommittal stance especially concerning a dispute or argument in order to maintain peace. You may face a mental block and try to defer taking any sort of action for fear of upsetting the cart. You would need to confront the truth of the matter soon, however, for now it would be best to remain tactful and defer making any judgements or taking a definite course of action.

This week you may find concerns of other people rather than your own occupying most of your time and mental energy. Proceeding with empathy and compassion you can make a positive difference in their life, however, try not to get too emotionally drawn into their problems.
Have a wonderful week!
