Individual Card Meanings

Hello! this morning i shuffeld my cards for a daily card pull and the Queen Of Wands Reversed fell out. Now, what does it really mean? I read its about someone who is selfish or mean. Why did i need that card today and how can i use it today? thanks in advance!!😊

Alright friends, give me all you have on The High Priestess! Upright, reversed, whatever comes to mind! What does this card mean for you? I am loving the conversations stemming from these and all of the insight. Thank you all!

Hello everyone, I was wondering about another possible meaning of the 4 of Pentacles as feelings.. This card often occurs to me to mean jealousy or no feelings at all, but what about someone holding back their feelings? Like you're attracted to someone, but you try to ignore your emotions. Could this make sense with the 4 Pents? Thank you in advance.

Here's two cards that seem to share nothing other than coming from the same deck. The Hermit 9 and the 4 of pentacles. However, there are similarities. Notice how the man in the 4 of Pentacles is outside of a city. He has left with what he has to live outside of society. The Hermit has his wisdom, his consciousness, his experience that he has also left with. The 4 of Pentacles holds his life, what he loves, with each Pentacle strategically placed over his chakras. The Hermit holds onto his wisdom in his cane, he holds onto his sun, but he does shine the path for others who choose to seek. Yes, the 4 of Pentacles is possessive, but the lesson may be h…

Hey! I'm a tarot newbie and every time I get the The Hanged Man in reversed I get a bit confused. Since I'm new, I only know the very basics of the meanings. I know it means missing an opportunity, refusing change, detachment, and stagnation. I typically only get it as a clarifying card but I just simply can't connect with it. If anyone could give me a more detailed explanation for this card, I would greatly appreciate it!! for reference i use Modern Witch Tarot and the card being called "Hanged One"

Has anyone else noticed that people die that you know when the ten of swords and death appear together in a reading. Or is that just me? Sometimes it's in the life of the person I'm reading for or sometimes I ask a question about one person/topic and it happens, and I hear of a passing that is unrelated.

In your opinion, what are the qualities of this arcane? What are your powers and virtues? 🙂 This is hard huh? When I look at the luminous aspect of this card, I think of focus. Someone who keeps himself in check and can be disciplined, restrained. Someone who delimits their own personal space. Could you help me to explore more of your potentials?

Hi all X/ I've done some thinking. I wrote another place here about corruption being something that possible has to do with a snake, but after some reflections I found out that my initial thought was wrong and that it belongs to the tarot card The Moon. From www.learntarot.com one can learn that some keywords for The Moon is "illusions", "accepting a false picture" and "bewilderment". Corruption is another keyword I will add to that. It gets protected by making a false picture, it makes us live in an illusion and in the word bewilderment is the word wild - which makes me think of the wild, howling wolf - and that corrupted people only follows the law of wild …

I am still learning how to interpret cards for all sorts of situations, spreads, and inquiries. I find myself drawing a blank on how to apply a card's meaning to how it would represent a person (say the querent or about whom the querent is asking). More specifically in relationship spreads where the position of the card is to be read as "Represents Querent/Other Person" and the card is drawn rather than picking a significator. The card that is drawn is not a court card where the meanings are already more person geared. But rather say 4 of Cups or The Tower. How would cards that apply more for situations apply to representing a person? In the 4…

Hey everybody! I’m looking for so thoughts on this unique 5 of Cups. This comes from the Flux Arcana deck by Micah Ulrich. I’m newer to tarot, and this deck has a few cards that differ from the standard RWS imagery, one if them being this one. I love this deck, but it’s tough for a beginner, though in general i click really well with it. So our imagery here is not the usual 5 cups you’d see, with 3 overturned and 2 upright. Here we have a figure holding one in what seems like…joy? And the other 4 are upright on the ground, with ‘halos’ around them. To me this speaks of, instead of sorrow, perhaps like a choice. Lifting up one at the expense of the others. But …

It just occurred to me today, during a reading, that without exception ALL of The Sun cards in the decks I own are either offshoots of the RWS card—the child and the horse in a very close-up perspective—OR they depict The Sun as blinding and obscuring distance vision. Unlike a sunny day in the real world, where you can see for miles in all directions under warm light—which is what I would expect the card to depict—The Sun card seems to restrict us to a very close-up view. OR it emits sunlight that is so dazzling we can't actually see anything much at all. In fact, the impulse I feel with some of these too-bright cards is to shut my eyes and turn away. I…

Hello everyone! I’m a newbie so it’s still quite difficult for me to think of the cards in a broader sense or connecting it with something that’s maybe not so obvious to me. When reading about reverse King of Pentacles, it seems very negative. Is there a way to view this card reversed in a more positive way? Curious to hear your insight 🙂

I've only been doing daily readings for, maybe, a week and I am left shaking my head, astonished at what a powerful tool this is for self awareness. I have been doing three card spreads, the first being myself, the second, the situation, and the third, the best course of action. I have quickly seen that I must always make any interpretation of the individual cards come from the Question and the real life circumstances. Yesterday, I drew the Hermit reversed on a day and to a question that both revolved around what I should do now as I was feeling grounded, sure of myself after a long period of doubt. When I saw the Hermit upside down I immediately thought, 'It's time to co…

Hi! I'm doing a study in the Adventurer's Tarot; the deck booklet is extremely sparse and I don't think the definitions are necessarily accurate to the cards. Some cards are specific to this deck, so the above problem paired with an overall lack of information for some of these means I can't figure out better, in-depth meanings for the cards. So, I thought I'd ask you guys- I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts about it, even if it's very DnD oriented ;3

So, I'm here manning the Cosmic Command Post. I didn't have a real question to hand, and I didn't want to dissipate the energy I've got going with my main deck with practice questions, so I got out an RWS just to see what I can see... you know, bear-went-over-the-mountain stuff, nothing at stake. (It said I will receive some money recently.) Anyway... My glance fell across the 6 of Cups. One of my favorites, such a sweet card. There are four things about this card that always capture my thinking. The first is fairly obvious and I've seen it discussed. The second as well. The third and fourth, though, not so much... especially the last: never seen …

Hello! Something I've been wondering when doing tarot readings is how other people may translate the cards! I know that each card tends to have a basic meaning that is used over all decks, but do some decks change the meaning? I'm an artist, so I like to find meaning in the images on the cards and what they may represent. So when I use different decks with different artwork, sometimes I feel the meaning may vary slightly. Have other people also felt this way? Is there any advice for translating cards from different decks? Thank you for your time!

Hello I am new to this tarot forum. I have been doing tarot around three years. A man I think about far far too often... I asked how he sees me. Overall. He saw I had a soft, sensitive side. He was a Pisces and sometimes I felt he could see into me telepathically. I was going through a rough time. If I had met him now two years later (yes it was that long ago!) I feel we could have established a friendship. I truly miss him though I never knew him. Isn’t it strange? Perhaps I should spend my time in therapy rather than just doing tarot 😂 anywho I thought it was an interesting combo

I'll share something that happens a lot with me now that I've learned to hear that little elusive voice in the cards. I was looking through my new Forest of Enchantment deck awhile ago and as I came across the Seeker of Boons, suddenly it flashed into my mind "metal detecting." Okay, okay---I know some will think me nuts. But the picture shows a woman who is bending down as if to pluck something at the base of a tree. The Queens in this deck are called Seekers and Boons represent Pentacles which represent coins among other things. People who metal detect and hunt for treasure are often looking for and finding coins, along with other treasures. I enjoy w…

I hope I put this in the right place! I did a reading about the soul connection between two people and got the Devil with King of Cups as a clarifying card. As these two people are both in separate relationships, I'm thinking that The Devil is perhaps regarding lust and desire...but King of Cups is about emotional control, compassion, kindness, etc. And as a SOUL connection... I'm kinda stumped with this combo! They don't seem to go together to me. Any insight?

In researching the 7 of Swords, the majority of meanings are negative. While we need these types of cards to deal with all realities of life, what meanings have you gleaned where the 7 of swords was a positive? Here's what i came up with: Looking out for themselves because they're in a hostile environment Being extremely strategic in their moves and communications Not revealing all of their cards or even deception by omission as self preservation Coming up with temporary means of communication in order to not have a paper trail Communicating in a way that gets others to reveal secrets or sensitive information to your benefit I…

The Empress came up for someone in a health reading. I had read somewhere that the Empress symbolized cardiovascular issues which seems to be on point for him as he is having issues with varicose veins which is a bit unusual for men in general; usually more common in women. However, I got to thinking the Empress is a nurturing type, bountiful and reproductive. it made me wonder if it could also be symbolic of the reproductive system or reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone in women and associated with menopause, hot flashes, menstrual disorders, etc., and in men low testosterone and its associated issues, erectile dysfunction, low energy, depression, etc.…

What are your thoughts on the wheel of fortune and 6 of cups together? These two seem to be following me around lately and pop up in different spreads regarding different topics, always the wheel followed by 6 of cups. For me the wheel of fortune signifies a change, a movement, the wheel has started to turn and change is coming. 6 of cups references the past, friendships and other relationships. 6 of cups followed by the wheel I would say it would signified leaving the past behind. The wheel followed by 6 of cups seems to me could have many meanings. The wheel can be fate, by chance you will meet an old friend from the past. A reconnection. I've also read that these …

Hey guys 😊 right now I’m struggling a bit with understanding the differences between Death and Tower. From what I have in my notes so far, death is (other than the tower, where the change happens out of the blue) a change/ending that was foreseeable (natural?) in one way or another. Maybe even a change that you bring forward yourself or anticipate sometimes? Or is it always about grieve (at least for a moment)? Would you say Death always involves the new beginning as well? The Tower is more shocking (?). Maybe it changes everything while the death is more about one single thing ending? What about change of facts vs change …

It seems every website I look at has a different meaning for this card. My guide book matches some of them, but it's really difficult to know what the right definition is. Obviously it also depends on the subject (love, health, career) but my guide book gives a general meaning of truth, mental clarity. Some websites match this, others say it's about conflict, quick and forceful action or new beginnings and communication. So I don't know which definition is accurate and why people have so many different interpretations of it. May people also say that the suit of swords is generally bad when any of them show up in readings, so I would have thought it would have a mostly neg…

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the 3 of Pentacles (RWS), that is I think didn't really understand its true meaning.. I've always considered it as a card of teamwork, support, solid basis between two and also a card of learning and hard work, but it has sometimes occured to be not so positive.. What's its real meaning? What are those 3 people really up to? Are they really building something together? What are your experiences with this card? Thank you so much.
