Current Influences

Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands is a maverick's card, and it may be associated with you if you are prone to spontaneity, or shifting your positions quickly. This may lead some to see you as capricious, but most will enjoy your energy. This card can also signify change for you, likely in the form of travel, or a change in your environment. Beware, it may well happen suddenly!

Key interpretations:

  • Challenging
  • Determination
  • Foreign travel
  • Leader
  • Unpredictability

In this position, the card reveals:

Expect a youthful presence, male, or masculine, to enter your life in a sudden and possibly jarring manner. Expect excitement, but do not take all their words at face value.

Obstacles

Five of Swords

This card indicates conflict in your life. Worse yet, it is closely associated with defeat. It is likely that the defeat will be traumatic, and you will need to retreat and regroup. You may have suffered injury to your pride or self-esteem, but the Five of Swords is also a warning of a potential to get caught in the cycle. Handle defeat with grace, move on, and success will come to you.

Key interpretations:

  • Conflict
  • Defeat
  • Loss
  • Low self-esteem
  • Separation

In this position, the card reveals:

To triumph in the future you must accept your own limitations now.

Past Foundations

Death

Death is indicative of change in your future. This change can be in almost any aspect of your life, but it will almost certainly be permanent, significant, and absolute. Death suggests a complete severance between the past and the future, and it could potentially be painful. Despite the sense of loss that may accompany it, Death fills an important and natural role in life, and leads eventually to acceptance. It is a necessary part of moving forward, and you will find the changes easiest if you embrace them, rather than fight them. Expect the end of a close friendship, a job, a marriage, or something else significant - but do not focus too greatly on the negative. Look for the silver lining, and opportunities to grow. This is not a card to be afraid of because it leads to new beginnings.

Key interpretations:

  • End
  • New beginning
  • Loss
  • Dramatic change
  • Destruction

In this position, the card reveals:

An era has ended for you. The other cards in your spread my provide clarification on what lies ahead.

Past Events

King of Pentacles

The King of Pentacles embodies the mature and dependable aspects of maturity. Anyone represented by this card is tied to success and status. While it may refer to your own characteristics, the Kings most often stand in for other people in your life who can aid you. You can expect this person to value prudence of intelligence, and, if it represents an event, it may be a financial windfall or promotion.

Key interpretations:

  • Confident
  • Reliable
  • Security
  • Success
  • Wealth

In this position, the card reveals:

You recently received some good advice which will, if followed, put your affairs on sounder footing in the future.

Goals and Destiny

The World

The World is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth. This change represents a chance for you to bring about a desirable end to the Old and a good beginning to the New. It is indicative of growing maturity, a sense of inner balance and deeper understanding. It suggests that you may be approaching a more final sense of identity, and the security in the self that comes with age. It also represents the falling away of boundaries, sometimes in the effusive sense of the spiritual, but sometimes in a purely physical sense, indicating travels or journeys in the future.

Key interpretations:

  • Certainty
  • Completion
  • Positive
  • Reward
  • Satisfaction

In this position, the card reveals:

You have the opportunity and ability to make one great wish or goal a reality. Choose what is most important to you, pursue it relentlessly, and the world is yours.

Future

Three of Pentacles

If you can maintain a clear sense of purpose over the coming months, you are well positioned to see your hard work get the recognition it deserves. While it is not guaranteed, and it may tax your interpersonal skills, if you maintain your own pace and trust in others, recognition will be yours. That outcome will be worth your determination, as it may not only provide material reward, but also lead to a sense of lasting accomplishment.

Key interpretations:

  • Excellence
  • Mastery
  • Satisfaction
  • Success
  • Teamwork

In this position, the card reveals:

Work well done will bring you inner satisfaction.

The Querant (you)

Three of Wands

If you can manage to consistently bring your creativity and inventiveness to the table, then the Three of Wands brings good news. You are about to enter a time where your potential for productivity and accomplishment is very favourable. Keep your eyes open for new career opportunities and your mind open to new possibilities. The rewards these new opportunities bring, however, will take some time. You will need to be patient and stick around for the long haul. Also, look for new allies, as any new undertakings will be most successful if undertaken as partnerships.

Key interpretations:

  • Achievement
  • Fresh starts
  • Long-term success
  • Partnerships
  • Trade

In this position, the card reveals:

You will receive assistance from an expert, but the quality will depend on your own honesty, with the expert, and yourself.

Friends and Family

Four of Pentacles

Perhaps through a gift or inheritance, or possibly through your own business know-how, you are on a path leading towards financial and material security. This will likely be a pleasant chapter of your life, wherein your emotional and spiritual needs are satisfied.

Key interpretations:

  • Certainty
  • Possessive
  • Reliable
  • Security
  • Tenacity

In this position, the card reveals:

You will find a triumph, though impressive, to be ultimately hollow for you.

Hopes, Fears, and Ideals

Six of Cups

The Six of Cups is rooted deep in the past, but it is also a card closely bound to your happiness. It suggests that your family, your old friends, perhaps even past lovers, are in the process of adding greatly to the joys in your life. This card may also refer to past efforts, labours of love, and personal projects rewarding you, usually in an emotional sense, rather than financial.

Key interpretations:

  • Apology
  • Past associations
  • Reconciliation
  • Reminiscent
  • Return

In this position, the card reveals:

You will find new understanding for the future in examining the dreams of your past.

The Final Outcome

Seven of Wands

You almost certainly have great reserves of courage, and the perseverance to see yourself through difficult times. You may not be aware you possess these qualities, but you will find yourself needing them soon. Expect conflicts, possibly small, but more likely significant. It is not certain where they will arise, but there is no doubt you possess the ability to overcome your adversaries.

Key interpretations:

  • Coping and Resistance
  • Courage
  • Long-term successes
  • Perseverance
  • Strength

In this position, the card reveals:

You will face overwhelming odds and you will beat them. If luck favours the prepared, then fate favours the courageous.
