The meaning of the The Tower card in a Tarot reading

XVX The Tower

Mars

Expect the Unexpected. Chaos, bizarre events and destruction. Remain calm in the face of unexpected changes and listen to the inner force that reassures you everything is going to be alright.

The Tower represents a structure of false or outgrown values. Your attitude to life no longer supports you and needs to be surrendered so that you can grow. This can come in the form of a flash of enlightenment, allowing a new understanding of life. The Tower brings the change you longed for but feared. This change can be sudden and sometimes violent, particularly when you resist it. Often your subconscious mind calls for this change to free you from the restrictions around you, and your attitude to the change will determine whether it is exciting or painful. By handling problems in a grounded and realistic manner the Tower need not occur. The Universe does not allow people to live far from their spiritual path forever. When we become stuck and cannot free ourselves peacefully, life does whatever is necessary to free us.

When The Tower appears, itโ€™s time for change. It is too late to prepare for change, or how you would like to change, but simply a time to release the old. For you to move on, you must accept that some things have been and will be lost, and that inevitably certain elements of your life must be let go before they can move on.

Even though the process of destruction is painful and difficult for you to undergo once you have picked up the pieces (or others have picked up the pieces for you!) You are liberated and freed from a situation or relationship that was negative or holding you back. Sometimes the Tower appears when you feel trapped or unable to move forward because of outside obstacles, and the Towerโ€™s destruction clears the way for you. Unfortunately, it clears everything else out also.

When you surrender to the forces of the Tower card you will see a resurrection in your affairs and improved conditions, but on a much stronger, firmer foundation. Unexpected luck or good fortune. New opportunities appear or success and recognition for your talents. If you refuse to accept this, you will be stuck reliving the destruction over and over, but once you let go of what was lost, you are free.

The meaning of the Temperance card in a Tarot reading

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 โ€œgo with the flowโ€ 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.


The meaning of the Wheel of fortune card in a Tarot reading

X Wheel of Fortune

Jupiter

The Wheel of Fortune is all about change โ€”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

Love/Relationships: Someone from your past will return, you will be undecided about the relationship, A negative condition will end, donโ€™t take your current relationship for granted. If single love could come at any moment!

Finances/Career: Increase in financial obligations and living expenses. A job or business opportunity could appear suddenly. Service people must return to fix an issue or complete a job that wasnโ€™t finished.

The meaning of the Chariot card in a Tarot reading

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 roadโ€”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 โ€œspeed upโ€ 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. You are advised that the relationship will be successful if you have control over yourself and the situation, but not power over the other person. Shared goals and achievements will aid the partnership.

Keywords: Victory, control, force, direction, momentum, quest, journey, achievement, ambition, goal, speed, challenge, adventure, progress, focus, triumph.

Love/Relationships: Thinking what the future holds for your relationship, passionate and fast movements in love, two lovers to choose from.

Finances/Career: Opportunity to increase your income, an important event, finishing a plan or project, youโ€™ll have to confront someone over a money issue, but youโ€™ll be paid.


The meaning of the Strength card in a Tarot reading

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.

It can also suggest a special relationship with the animal kingdom, such as somebody who works with animals or hasan animal companion. It is particularly apt for veterinarians and others who heal sick and injured animals.

Finances/Career: Slow progress, expected money arrives, debts paid, financial troubles handled positively. Acknowledgement for efforts coming later.

Love/Relationships: You can now overcome the fear of letting real love enter your life and at a stage where you can make a commitment. Current relationship is solid and based on understanding. Love brings a solution to the problem.


The meaning of the Lovers card in a Tarot reading

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 โ€œtrue loveโ€ 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.


The meaning of The Empress card in a Tarot reading

III The Empress

Venus

The Empress says you need to trust your feelings more and suggests domestic harmony, marriage, and maternity.

The Empress represents living life to the full, in an uncomplicated way. Contentment and stability with home life and understanding from personal experiences.

Most often she indicates that a creative process will be started or finished, or that you are undergoing the process currently.

The Empress also asks you how much effort you are willing to put into something and reminds you that, most of the time, the act of creation can be painful and can require dedication.

This card isnโ€™t about duty or responsibility, although it might involve them. It also says that anything that you are currently undertaking will undergo a great period of growth.

Keywords: Fruitfulness of action, Beauty, personal development, and progress.

Love/relationships: A new partner could be coming into your life if not in a good relationship, desire to care for someone special, wanting to express feelings on a deeper level.
