These are the cards that the Tarot has drawn for you. You may want to save or print this page if you would like to ponder their messages later.

Past

The Past position in the reading refers to recent events and challenges that just took place, things that lead up to the present situation, and your role in them.

Eight of Wands
Swiftness, closure, and the end of opposition are symbolized by the Eight of Wands. The wands pointing downward, toward the lush green earth, shows that you reached your destination successfully. Sometimes this card can be quite literal, indicating that you completed a trip by air. However, most often it signifies successful and speedy completion of a goal.

Present

The Present position in the reading represents what is happening right now. Typically, this is what triggers you to seek out a reading. This card can often help you to understand what steps to take next.

The Magician
The Magician is the second card of the Major Arcana, and is given the number one to indicate the power that resides within each living being: the power of the self. He has mastered the tools of the Tarot: the pentacle, cup, sword, and wand, which symbolize the four physical elements of earth, water, air, and fire. With one hand aiming skyward and one pointing at the ground, the Magician is the symbol of manifestation, of bringing things from the spiritual or psychological realm into the physical one. The power flowing through him is the power of creation, which is symbolized by the flowers and other growing things around him.

The Magician’s lesson is awareness: watch what you bring into your life as well as what you give to others. You have to walk your talk: decide what you want and take action to make your dreams a reality. You alone have the power within you—you need only to concentrate on channeling it to your best advantage.

Future

The Future position in the reading describes what is just around the corner. It’s an official “heads up” about where the situation is heading and how you may navigate through it towards the best possible outcome.

Ace of Wands
All that is best in the suit of Wands is embodied in the Ace: the power of Will, desire, sexuality, and vitality will be abundant in the future. Just as the leaves burst forth with such force that they are seen falling from the Wand, your energy will bring forth many fertile beginnings. This card symbolizes the healthy, positive outlook that should be held. Great things are indicated.

You may need to break the situation down into its simplest components in order to see the full picture. This will lead to a great understanding of the relationship between the whole and the many parts. Just be careful not to overanalyze, thereby losing the joy that's inherent. Taking a single vision and turning it into many individual streams can be rewarding, but it can also confuse and distract. Hang a crystal in the window to attract the rays of the sun. This can ring glorious energy your way.

Spectrum analysis. Color and crystal healing. Rainbows. Light refraction. Considering many facets of a situation. Optics. Sight.

The Caution: Locked in to a set of parameters. Over analyzing things. Being blinded by ambition. Diffracted personalities.

All that you can do is wish them well
All that you can do is wish them well

Spirits turned bitter by the poison of envy
Always angry and dissatisfied
Even the lost ones, the frightened and mean ones
Even the ones with a devil inside

Thank your stars you're not that way
Turn your back and walk away
Don't even pause and ask them why
Turn around and say goodbye

People who judge without a measure of mercy
All the victims who will never learn
Even the lost ones, you can only give up on
Even the ones who make you burn

The ones who've done you wrong
The ones who pretended to be so strong
The grudges you've held on for so long
It's not worth singing that same sad song

Even though you're going through hell
Just keep going
Let the demons dwell

Past

The Past position in the reading refers to recent events and challenges that just took place, things that lead up to the present situation, and your role in them.

Death
Death is the fourteenth card in the Major Arcana, and is given the number 13 for many reasons...both the Death card and the number 13 are widely misunderstood. Most people regard both of them with fear, when in fact they are not cursed or unlucky at all—it is all a matter of your perspective. (That goes for physical death as well, actually.) An armored, skeletal figure rides a pure white horse, symbolic of spirituality and purity of body and soul. Death passes people from all walks of life, and each is effected in different ways that correspond to their viewpoint. The King, who believed that his existence hinged primarily on his status, title, and wealth, is laid low. The Priest, full of faith in a pleasant, rewarding afterlife, faces Death straight on. The young woman turns away out of fear and sadness, but kneels compliantly, albeit regretfully. The child, completely innocent and blissfully ignorant, offers Death the beauty of freshly picked flowers. The flowers, though beautiful, are now also dead. Interestingly enough, a flower appears on the flag Death carries. We should view Death, which essentially symbolizes change, the way the child does. In this way, Death becomes less traumatic, and more the transformation that it truly is meant to be. It is a positive passage, as the sun shining in the distance indicates.

Death in your past indicates that the root of your issue lies in a time of intense change, and most people do not welcome change. This may have been a chance to start over, a second chance in relationships, or a time of major growth. If you viewed this time with a negative outlook, Death can indicate the unexpected, and deep rooted fears of the unknown. If you accepted change as it came and grow from it, you released that which had gone before and got on with what was yet to come. Discoveries, opportunities, and new cycles awaited you.

Present

The Present position in the reading represents what is happening right now. Typically, this is what triggers you to seek out a reading. This card can often help you to understand what steps to take next.

Knight of Swords
Frequently, this card refers to you, or someone who strongly influences your life in the situation in question, but does not have to be male. The Knight of Swords comes to the fight primed for battle, his sword waving a challenge to all comers. He leads with his sword, then his head, then his heart. The mind of the person in question, like the Knight’s, is swift and requires constant stimulation. The butterfly on his horse is a symbol of his emergence from a chrysalis: he rapidly transforms into the blazing Knight depicted on the card. He makes a powerful impression, appearing suddenly, aggressively...but will his enthusiasm carry him through to the end, and will his high energy last?

Future

The Future position in the reading describes what is just around the corner. It’s an official “heads up” about where the situation is heading and how you may navigate through it towards the best possible outcome.

There is a time of calm approaching. The difficulties in your situation have been arduous, but they've added to your experience to cope with any difficult times that are yet to come. The calm is a time to review what has past. You've come through the most difficult straits. Soon, you'll realize that you're on safe ground.

The calm after the storm. Navigating difficult straits. White water rafting. Risky activities. Personal initiations.

Past

The Past position in the reading refers to recent events and challenges that just took place, things that lead up to the present situation, and your role in them.

Three of Cups
The Three of Cups indicates the celebration of friendship, and the joy of being together. Recently, you have enjoyed time with close friends and remembering the good times you shared. Great achievements have been toasted among you, suggested by the bountiful harvest at the feet of the women celebrating. This has been a time of appreciation of the deeper sense of understanding that you share with your closest friends. It is said that we find few true friends in our lifetime. Treasure yours always.

Present

The Present position in the reading represents what is happening right now. Typically, this is what triggers you to seek out a reading. This card can often help you to understand what steps to take next.

Strength
Strength is the ninth card in the Major Arcana, and is given the number eight, which is a number of great good fortune in Eastern traditions. This card is often associated with the Zodiac sign Leo, which is ruled by the Sun, and eight is the number of solar festivals celebrated by many Earth-centered religions. A gentle looking woman, robed in white for purity, cradles a fierce lion’s head in her tender hands. She appears to be soothing the beast, closing its japing jaws. The red lion symbolizes anger, rage, and violence. The symbol over the woman’s head is the sign of infinity, reminiscent of a halo, and denotes her spirituality and her enlightened mind. You may imagine the two figures on the card as the two sides of yourself: the woman is your superego, and the lion is your id.

The Strength card encourages you to get control over your anger through an understanding of where it comes from. This card can indicate a need to change your approach to difficulties and issues with others as well. By seeking first to understand and accept the more negative aspects of yourself and others, your situation can be managed more effectively, and with more beneficial results for everyone involved.

There is a deep realization that may transform your life. The time is possibly not yet right to make any changes, but it is coming soon. Listening to one's inner voice and heeding its messages can lead you on to the next level of life. Spirit is descending, wishing to make itself known - spiritual messages are wanting to come through into conscious expression.

New realizations of one's inner being, new impulses. Seeking to have one's voice heard. Channeling information. Messages from the other side. Whispering. Passing on news and information. Speaking and hearing.

The Caution: Confusing the inner voice with signs of instability or madness. Being concerned that if you don't make yourself heard, you will miss out. A need to be noticed.
