XVIII The Moon
Pisces
The Moon card has many faces. It indicates a reflection of the truth in your life that is not complete or distorted in some way. It may point to something being hidden from you or the truth being misrepresented. However, there is a seed of truth present, which you should be able to access if you are astute and perceptive, although sometimes it can be difficult to find that truth hidden beneath many layers of distortion.
The Moon may also represent another perspective, a situation that you may not have considered, or which is not seen as a traditional approach. There are two sides to every coin, and the Moon is the side that lands face down. Sometimes this card can point to secrets. Secrets you have, secrets being kept from you. There is always a chance secrets will be found out. Remember The Moon is a card of Illusion; you will know the truth by the way it feels.
It can also represent secrecy in emotions, with one person in the relationship hiding their true feelings from their partner, for one reason or another. This could be because the partner feels as though their emotions are too confusing, deep, or personal to be able to share with another, or it could be because they fear the reaction of the other person should they share them.
The Moon can often relate to fears that you have, particularly fears related to, or manifesting in, your emotional relationships. Thus, this card might indicate something from your subconscious influencing your choices perhaps more than it should, and probably without you fully realizing the extent to which this aspect of yourself in is control.
It suggests that fear is the driving force for you at this time; you must seek out the hidden side of yourself which your fears lie so that you might shed light on them and learn the truth. The only way out of fear is through it in this case, and the pathway of the Moon is, unfortunately, the pathway through fear also.
This card can also raise issues concerning your shadow self and your primal nature, as well as all the deep-seated and intense emotions that you have. Further, it hints at the ebbs and flows of your life, pointing to recurring waves of a theme or challenge, opportunity or feeling, which rises on a regular basis and then recedes, just like the tide.
On a spiritual level, the Moon points to psychic ability and being able to listen to intuition. It also indicates an interest in witchcraft or Wicca, the divine feminine, women’s mysteries, psychic healing, scrying, visions, dream work, and magic.
Finance/Career: May feel disillusioned by the actions of others, check all dealings in business, flush out the facts. Feeling underpaid or undervalued in a career or job prospect.
Love/Relationships: A relationship fails to live up to expectations, an emotional time, secrecy around you, unfulfilled desires and hopes in a relationship.
XV The Devil
Capricorn
Mind games, manipulation and emotional blackmail. The Devil is rarely a positive card, but it does have a few redeeming qualities. Let’s start with the good aspects first.
Sometimes it can represent your ambition and desire for greatness, as well as you desire to move on from one achievement to the next, never stopping or pausing for breath. One thing’s for certain: you don’t rest on your laurels!
This card can indicate a time of great desire and action in your life, a lust for life, and a willingness to take risks and enjoy life to the fullest, which will serve to further your goals and improve your circumstances. You want to make the most of life while you can and while you have the means and desire to.
In a relationship reading, the Devil, can sometimes indicate that the physical side of the relationship is wonderful—the sex is great, and the mundane circumstances are working very well for the couple.
On a spiritual level, the Devil can represent the descent of spirit into matter, a focus on Earth-based religions, a reverence for the life force.
However, most of the Devil’s reasons for appearing are negative. It indicates that you are, or will be, in a situation in which you are trapped or imprisoned, one you are finding it difficult to get out of. Sometimes it even suggests that you do not know you are trapped at all, as you have been duped or deceived into thinking you are free. This card can indicate your ignorance in a matter, or your willingness to stand by whilst acts that would harm yourselves and/or others are perpetrated. You may also be the perpetrator yourself.

It can indicate obesity, unhealthy habits, and an unwillingness to break out of such cycles.
Usually, the Devil points toward your inner demons—your fears, bad habits, or any secrets and shame you are hiding from yourself and others. This may also relate to you having feelings of entitlement or dominance over others, or, alternatively, feelings of powerlessness. Often it says that you have handed over your power to another person or agency so that you don’t have to take responsibility for your actions, thoughts, or failures.
This card can indicate mind games, either on your part or which you are a victim of. It can also point to you feeling like a slave to a certain aspect of your life, such as a job, or to another person. It sometimes indicates a co-dependent relationship, an unhealthy one, or one built solely on one person being in control of the other.
Keywords: Vice, temptation, ignorance, decadence, bondage, lust, urges, inner demons, chains, entrapment, imprisonment, oaths, contracts, promises, attachment, dominance, slavery, habits, addiction, obsession, materialism, hedonism, desire, sexuality, ambition

XIV Temperence
Sagittarius
Patience, Moderation, Good management, Combining forces
When Temperance arrives in a reading, it is often to bring the lesson of moderation and balance into your life. It indicates that there are several different, sometimes conflicting, extremes in your life, which are useless to you on their own. These various elements, must instead be brought together into one place, melted down in a great cauldron, and shaped into something new and better.
Often, Temperance indicates the need to take the middle road, avoiding extremes and finding a balance between them finding the common ground. In a work or career reading, for instance, it might be that you need to find the common ground between yourself and a colleague with whom you are in conflict, or the middle way between a tried and trusted
method and a new, innovative one. Temperance advises them to take the best bits of both, discard the bad bits, and thus create something more effective.
It can also represent testing a method or idea through rigorous application of extremes, thus strengthening it. Temperance is the card of eclecticism in all areas of life. Spiritually, it represents drawing on several different belief systems to find the best of all of them which suits you. With regard to creativity, it brings with it an inundation of different influences for you to create from; most importantly, it suggests an eclecticism of skills, talents, and passions, which, on their own, might not seem like much to you, but when united together create something far greater and more useful. You should look to how you can combine your various skills and talents, rather than viewing them in isolation.
This card can indicate a need for adaptation; you will be required to “go with the flow” in relation to life changes, coordinating various parts of your life toward a more unified goal, whilst moderating them so that a single part does not become more important.
There is a suggestion of balance and even-handedness required in your ife, with you juggling many different things and giving equal weight to all of them. In a social situation, Temperance suggests that a given group of people is a melting pot of various ideas, beliefs, skills, styles, and personalities that might seem to clash at first, but which actually work great as a team, each person bringing something unique to the table.
Keywords: Moderation, tempering, balance, flux, common ground, unity, synthesis, alchemy, milieu, creativity, eclecticism, melting pot, equal weight, adaptation, flow, the middle way.
Finance/Career: Care in matters of investment, feeling constricted in present condition. Desire to change jobs. Need to consult before acting. Blending elements into a workable formula or solution.
Love/Relationships: In a relationship reading, you are both quite different but together you bring out something quite unique and special. Temperance really comes as a blessing. It is a higher form of the Lovers, and thus brings not only unity between a couple, but also fruit being born from that union. Whilst this may indicate a child, it can also indicate a couple that work together to create things, each one using their own set of skills toward the goal. It represents a tremendously creative partnership, so that there is much more to the relationship than romance and love.
XIII Death
Scorpio
Abrupt Change, New order being established, Like the Phoenix you will rise up and begin again The Death card means big things. It symbolises every ending and transition in life so that we can move on and find something or be somebody new. It can indicate the end of a job or career, the end of a stage of life, the end of a relationship,,the end of an era or a friendship, even moving from one location to another.
This card appears to remind us that changes need to be made, or that if we surrender to the process of transition, we will suffer less. We are reminded that the decay of one thing fertilizes something else. The process of metaphorical death allows you to cut away from your life what you no longer need, to take the proverbial scythe to your circumstances or personality.
Death can suggest that you are stagnating because you are refusing to change or having difficulty doing so. You may also be having a hard time dealing with loss and bereavement, or letting go of an old state of being, person, place, or time. Let go and you are free. As one door closes, another door opens.

X Wheel of Fortune
Jupiter
The Wheel of Fortune is all about change —big changes at that. It can manifest as a complete change of career or job, change of relationship, change of lifestyle, change of life focus, change of concept of the self, or change of religion, amongst other things
This is not the kind of change found in the Death card, however, where the change requires an ending, but rather it is a change that allows transition from one state to another, one state flowing into the next.
The Wheel of Fortune can also indicate a time in your life when change seems to be all you have. You may feel as though you cannot hold on to anything for long; as soon as you become accustomed to one situation, you need to adapt to a new situation.
You are advised that you must remain adaptable and flexible in the current situation and learn not to cling too hard to the current state of things; it will just make change more difficult.
Change is the only constant in the universe, and it is also the only constant in life on Earth; however, you are currently having this fact demonstrated more vividly than usual.
Sometimes the Wheel of Fortune can indicate luck and chance favouring you, your fortunes picking up and your life in general improving.
You may become more aware of the cycles of your life and be able to use this understanding to your benefit. As such, this card can also point to tarot readings and oracles, any attempts to divine the future or predict, including playing the stock market.
Gambling is associated with the Wheel of Fortune, so its appearance can indicate gambling wins, although you should be made aware that fortune is a capricious mistress, and your luck will not last forever.
Keywords: Change, Good fortune, Opportunities, Blind Fate

VII The Chariot
Cancer
When the Chariot appears, it can be a great blessing or a stern lecture. As an outcome card it is extremely positive, showing great success, triumph, and victory. You will find that any endeavour you are currently in or any journey you have embarked upon will reach a conclusion that is more than satisfactory.
This might indicate promotions at work, success in exams, the completion of a project you have worked on for a long time or investments that pay off.
You will also find that you will make great and swift progress on any current projects or situations.
If you find yourself being called to a task, purpose, or challenge that seems difficult or insurmountable, certainly taking you out of your comfort zone. You are advised that this is an important opportunity for you, as it will offer potential for growth and progress as well as great results and achievements.
You may feel that events around you are pulling you in that direction anyway, like momentum is gathering in their life and pointing toward a certain road. The Chariot says that you should take the hint and follow this road—it will lead to amazing things! This is the call to adventure, the invitation to rise to a challenge.
The presence of the Chariot can often “speed up” things up, saying that things will happen quicker than expected and with more force.
As an advisory card, it tells you that you must have clear focus and direction; having control over yourself and the situation is necessary for progress and victory. If you lose control, direction, or focus, you will find that you are no longer in charge of your situation but rather a victim of circumstance.
This card therefore asks you what your goals are, what direction you are heading in, and how you plan to exert your will to achieve your goal.
With regards relationships or other partnerships, the Chariot can raise issues of control and power.

VIII Strength
Leo
Strength to rise above a crisis and strength to forgive and forget the past
The Strength card advises that obstacles and opponents are best approached from the standpoint of quiet strength and power, rather than obvious displays of power and aggression. That obstacles and opponents can best be dealt with through gentle acts of kindness, calm, and inner strength.
It often points to your own inner strength, or the fact that you are in a strong position in the situation.
It also indicates the need for courage in situations, and the need to show compassion and understanding, perhaps even kindness, at this time.
There is a certain amount of self-control implied by this card that leads to the ability to face opponents with an understanding of their position. That enables you to disarm them.
Sometimes Strength can also indicate the strength needed to overcome the hold the your lower self has over you in cases such as overcoming addiction.

VI The Lovers
Gemini
There is a harmony in the Lovers card that often comes out in a reading, especially when asking about a current situation. It indicates balance and harmony between people and states, as well as the desire within you to maintain or achieve that harmony. In many cases, this card will point to the ways in which you feel and experience unity and love in your life.
If there is a “true love” card in the tarot, this is it.
Most often in a reading the Lovers will indicate a human love of some kind, and usually surrounding cards will indicate what nature the love takes.
It is rare to see this card indicating the kind of spiritual reunion that it represents at its core, since most readings are concerned with everyday life rather than spiritual realities or paths.
Commonly, this card signifies a relationship. It may point to a current relationship or a prospective one. If it does, then it also suggests that this relationship will be extremely important and long-lasting.
It says that you and the other person in question are made for each other, a perfect fit. The love indicated by this card is not just sexual gratification or mutual attraction: it is also a deep and intimate bond between two people, which often plays out on a spiritual level as well as on the emotional and physical levels. This type of relationship is often described as feeling as though you have found the missing piece of yourself in another person, or as having found a twin soul.
Occasionally the Lovers points to a love of some kind in your life that is not another person, such as a career, a pastime, or a place. It indicates a deep passion for it, a yearning to be involved with it, to work on it, or to pursue it. Just as with a human partnership, the Lovers suggests that this passion is a perfect fit for you.
As a card of separation as well as love, however, the Lovers can sometimes point to the gaps between two people, yet it also focuses on the yearning to bridge the gap. Thus, it can signify a yearning for a relationship to work out, as well as the desire to work in a field of study that you love, or a burning desire for a particular outcome.
Finance/Career: It could be that they are working in a career that brings out their passion, the kind of work they love doing with all their being. It might also indicate a particular field of expertise or area of study that the querent loves so much they would want to dedicate their entire life to it.

Because of this, the Hierophant suggests that you seek aid and comfort for a solution to a problem or turn to received wisdom and tradition for the answers to a problem.
If you are on a path or undertaking a project to manifest something that is based in spiritual wisdom, then the Hierophant is a great card to receive. It represents the grounding and manifestation of such goals, making definite reality from abstract concepts. You may need to seek advice and aid from another person to help make this happen, but the potential is there.
Often, it points to a person in your life, who plays a teaching role, somebody to whom you have recourse, one who advises you and guides you. It can be an actual “hierophant” or priest, leader, or a person with experience in their field to whom you go to for guidance. Sometimes old wisdom is best.
The Hierophant can also ask you to consider what values and traditional wisdom they hold dear, and why.
The Hierophant can indicate a time of learning for you, especially learning within an institution. It therefore relates to any education within a school system or higher education at college or university.
It can also point to research and the need to turn to the writers and wisdom-bearers of the past for answers or inspiration.
If in doubt, the Hierophant advises, the best approach resolving a situation is a tried and tested method that is supported by experience.
