| Situation: Four of Swords  © Tarot.com |
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Turn aside from contemporary concerns. Guard and protect that peace that naturally resides in the depths of your soul.
The card that lands in the Situation position refers to the circumstances you find yourself in with regard to your concern.
When the Four of Swords appears in this position, you are blissfully removed from the conflicts of the day. You now have the freedom to wash your hands of current controversies. Your present mission, regardless of what others are up to, is to enter your inner sanctum and meditate, drawing energy from your inner guides.
In your private sanctuary, you can communicate with those who have inspired you with their accomplishments and improve yourself with the aid of their example. Delve deeply into your inner life and be responsible for guarding that treasure of inspiration and hope. Protect and nurture your interior haven of peace.
Challenges/ Opportunities: Five of Coins  © Tarot.com |
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Stay conscious of your deepest values and most cherished long term goals.
The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity to turn a crisis or challenge into an opportunity.
The Five of Coins in this position challenges you to stay in balance even while feeling aroused by powerful new magnetic forces of change. No matter how exhilarated you might be feeling, remain attuned to the standards and goals that have always been important to you. Promises you make or which are made to you at this time must be congruent with your goals or else there is sure to be conflict in the future.
Note: In the English decks, like the Rider-Waite, the sickly poor freezing outside a well-lit church warn of the painful outcomes of bad choices, rather than focusing on the dynamic tension of the choosing itself, as in the traditional Continental decks.
Advice: Page of Wands  © Tarot.com |
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Quietly gather information that will help you direct a situation to unity.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
This card is traditionally entitled a Page, but in some modern decks as a Princess. In this position, this card suggests that you cannot know how to facilitate communication until you have studied your environment. Your task may be to blend into your surroundings so you can gather information and get a clear sense of what is going on around you.
Think of yourself as a secret agent for the greater good. In due time, others may recognize the role you play in the transformation from divisiveness to unity. However, right now you are being asked to watch quietly from the sidelines.
Daily Lesson: Knight of Cups  © Tarot.com |
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
You cannot resolve the situation until you heal the problem within.
The card in the Lesson position represents the personal investment or sacrifice required to derive full benefit from your current situation.
The Knight of Cups (in some decks, a Prince) in this position requires that you outgrow the win/lose paradigm of competitive Western civilization. Replace self-righteous aggressiveness with humility and generosity. When you are tempted to misuse your power, lay down your weaponry instead, and offer up a cup of peace.
This Prince has been in the battlefield too long, yet he has finally come to understand there is a better way. First, he had to come to peace within himself, before his cup of peace could heal rifts between others. Drink from that cup, and then begin to serve it to those around you who are still fighting.
Near Future: King of Wands  © Tarot.com |
POSITIONAL (MAIN) MEANING
Be prepared for an upcoming decisive moment. Know your will so you will be ready to implement it.
The card in the Near Future position indicates which way the wind is blowing with regard to your situation. If you follow the Advice card, however, you can improve on or neutralize tendencies.
When the King of Wands appears in this position, an imminent leadership opportunity requires psychological and emotional self-knowledge on your part. Try to think like a wise warrior in this situation, and be ready for an all-out effort to attain your goals. Many of us have negative or mixed programming about success, achievement, striving and competition. Don't let those mixed emotions keep you from rising to your true potential--even when the openings you have prayed for finally appear.
Circumstances may soon require that you show your hand and defend your position without hesitation. Act from a place of leadership and dynamic action, not introspection. Use your strength of will to make a decision. Don't equivocate.
