Individual Card Meanings

Which major arcana cards you think represent relocation, not just travel (or holidays) but mainly emigration. I would take three: The World, The Star and/or The Chariot. The Moon and the Fool could also signify travel, but mostly holidays rather moving to a different place. I also tend to associate The Star with relocation to a place close to rivers and sees, as long as the Star symbolizes water.

What does Temperance mean to you and what are your experiences with this card? I was looking at the card and reading on it today. It stood out to me in my deck. I have done some research on the card and want to hear your interpretations of Temperance and what it has meant to you.

Does anyone else struggle with temperance… it’s just a card I cannot connect with and when it comes up which is has recently I just stare at… what’s peoples take on it? How do you read the card? Any advice of how to interpret it better? I use the light Seers tarot l.

The meanings of the ten of cups like long-term relationship, harmony, soulmates and homecomings tsc.. always brought me a a very happy vibe but in my life this card mostly appears whenever a big relationship is coming to an end (not always a harmonic one). So I personally see this as fate, a karmic long-term relationship coming to it's purpose (and that depending can mean marriege or separation tsc). Any thoughts about how to interprete this card alternative and negative sides? And in what contexts this card has already appeard in your experience?

I’m really struggling with interpreting the 10 of wands. My first deck was the Thoth deck and I never felt it was an overly great card to receive. My feelings for it were almost obsessive in a ‘bunny boiler’ Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction kind of way. Looking for/ assuming things that weren’t there to begin with, oppressive delusion (especially in a relationship spread), and taking on way more than you were capable of (being taken advantage of), being used. I’ve noticed a lot of readers perceive this card differently, positively in a way, and now that I’m using the RW deck, the card feels more ‘downtrodden’ by the weight of responsibilities, than anything. I would love to h…

I'm going through the deck, comparing the cards to the RW. Mostly all the cards in the Volatile decks are traditional to the RW. But 8 of Wands , and the alternative card isn't. Volatile has the 8 of wands with an eulye ball in the clouds with 8 wands coming out idle the clouds, down to the ground. I suppose the RW is the same after writing this out. Pointed down. But the alternative Volatile 8 of wands has the more Magdeline look, with a crown of thorns and 8 wands appears growing out if the head. I don't get it because it doesn't fix the traditionally meaning for the 8 of wands; haste, speed, action, gaining momentum. I guess thorns growin…

Here is another strange depiction of the RW 9 of wands. In the RW we have a gentleman standing in front of 8 wands and then holding a wand. In the Volatile deck is a human head on an animal body. A centaur with 9 wands behind him. I know the deck was created from antique plates- but why the centaur for the 9 of wands?

Hi everybody!!! So I would like to know if I could get some thoughts on the 10 of pentacles. I know the general meaning of the card like legacy, inheritance and family. But has anyone had this card show up for anything else besides that? I get really tripped up on the 10 of pentacles. What was your experiences with this card when it showed up? Also has anyone ever seen this card show up for being blocked out of something? Idky but I always get a feeling of not being welcomed with this card like a family not accepting you. Or someone not welcoming you into their world so to speak. For some reason those pentacles on the card makes me feel like I have t…

Hi, I am interested in what the 2 jars shown on the star card of the major arcana mean. Do they have any connection with the Temperance cards jars?. Is there any hint in the old Italian meanings.......

Hello everyone, I'd like to discuss here the core meaning of the 3 of Wands. I know we can consider it as the entrepreneur card, that is you invest your money in something and wait for the results, you hope your investment will pay off at the end. My question is: if you get this card as outcome, could you interpret it as an investment that pays off? Or this card leaves open any options, also a failure? Thank you so much.

anyone have any good detailed insight on the knights of the after tarot deck? The knight of pents The knight of swords The knight of wands The knight of cups

These are the cards I believe represent change. I want to delve deeper into their differences and similarities. The Tower is the most different. It signifies some external event or revelation (often unexpected or shocking) that produces a change. The change could be mental/emotional or real. For example, you find out that your partner has been cheating on you, and you suddenly question if you’ve ever known this person. Everything changes. This is a Tower moment. The change from the Tower is externally imposed. Something happens to you, causing a change. Judgement generally refers to some kind of internal change. Often, when the card appears, you a…

In the past few months I have received the Chariot in a few smaller, but important readings. I've been thinking about it quite a lot as of late as I question its relation to cards that feel similar - The 10 of Wands for example, when touching on the more "working hard" aspects of the Chariot. It also sometimes reminds me of the 9 cards to a degree, the 9 of Pentacles, the 9 of Cups... I think the thing that intrigues me most is that it seems to carry the energy of many other cards, reminds me of other cards, yet is wholly unique. It is both "victory" and "perseverance", "coming out the other end" and "jumping in". It feels like a fiery card, even with some relation to Hel…

Hi everyone, The Chariot is card I always have a hard to interpret as feelings.. I know it's generally about being in control, taking the reins of your life, taking charge of a situation etc so what about feelings? Controlling your feelings for someone? But what are these feelings? Mature love? Willing to have a relationship with this person? What do you think? Thank you so much.

I was studying the imagery of the cards more closely today, and two questions popped up in my head while I was studying Rider Waite’s Chariot card in particular. 1. In terms of the Astrology: If we look at the belt the male figure is wearing, we notice four signs; one of them is cancer obviously, and the far right we have the moon. Left to the moon, there’s a symbol I see as a flash to the left (tell me if I’m wrong) and on the far right, we have a sign that looks either like the north node or leo, I’m not sure which. I wanted to ask if what I’m seeing makes sense at all, or if I’m just being too deep? Also, do the signs on the figure’s lower clothing mean anything? …

Hello, I was wondering how to interpret the "dark side/negative side" of the 2 of Cups. Could it represent lack of comprehension or also feeling unsupported from those you love? Feeling as if they don't empathize with you, although they should or at least you would expect to? Thanks.

I've been reading the cards since 1998 and in all that time, I've never had the Death card show up in my daily shuffle/lay out cards routine consistently. In fact I don't recall it ever happening. I'm going to be 74 next month so seeing the Death card cycling around makes me a little flinch-y to be honest. Especially if the the High Priestess is in the same spread because the High Priestess is both my soul and personality card. The Tower card cycling around has always meant that I was going to have to move again. For the past two or three weeks, it's been Death, and not just with one deck, it's been doing it with every deck I've used. And to make it even worse, sometimes …

I’ve always been struggling with these two’s meanings and symbolisms. From what I’ve learned so far, the High Priestess means personal mystery, the hidden unconscious part of one’s self; while on the other hand, the Moon represents external mysteries, hidden truths and uncertainties you have to solve outwardly, if that makes sense. I wanted to know if anyone has a deeper (or even more personal) comparisons between these two cards? And, how can we apply their meanings to everyday’s situations in a more practical way?

Hello, Would anyone like to share there meanings or experiences about the emperor rx? I really don’t know what to think of him when he’s reversed. The only think I associate him with is someone who doesn’t know how to be a man, someone who can’t step up and take charge. No backbone and weak. Also that he can’t be the man you need him. For example if your talking to a guy and you ask if he will become your boyfriend, and you get the emperor reversed that could be saying he can’t be your boyfriend he can’t fill that position in your life. The emperor rx just really gets me sometimes. So any comments would be greatly appreciated.

A spirit born into flesh to enjoy life and grow in experience. Free from responsibilities and flow through life. Ah yes, the one tarot is all about. Or is it? We need to seek out that answer. Take a journey. Should we be careful, or follow the impulse. What's more haphazard, a person who thinks with their head? Or a person who thinks with their gut? Should we look up to the sky all the time dreaming of brighter places, more carefree days, constantly leaping through life, leaving the unconscious behind us? The Fool searches everywhere but in himself. Always looking up. But, I must say, it must be true freedom to live without fear because The Fool hasn't allowed society to …

Had the Hanged Man come up in the reversed position during a spread I did this afternoon, and it stumped me. It didn't fit with the other cards, or in the position it was drawn, I just could not work it out. I'm thinking it might be my interpretation of the card itself, so I was wondering what you guys thought. How owe do you interpret/ feel about this card?

I would like to further explore the meanings of The Hanged Man reversed. All input is welcome and appreciated. To me, this card seems positive when I look at it reversed, but none of the meanings truly seem as bright as it appears to me. I am interested on your perspectives on this card.

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"

I think one of the most interesting and intriguing cards when it comes to its meaning is the Hermit. I like the fact that its character is based on isolation, loneliness and self inner-searching (I've always been like that, not in a misanthropic way :)) and it also reminded me of the ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes who had chosen a similar life path. However I am not sure the meaning this card has to offer someone today, given the fact that we as social species (especially today) need to interact with one another in order to build relationships and discover the world (in general). How am I suppose to interpret the Hermit's meaning when it pops up?

I have been reading that some people view the Hermit as a negative card denoting isolation, loneliness and withdrawal. The way I learned it is that it represents a beacon of light for the seeker. The Hermit is at the mountain top remove himself from the materialistic world and concentrate on the spiritual. You can count on his wisdom and his lamp can shed nee light on a situation and guide the seeker on their path to a positive end. Since I read with reversals is read the reversed Hermit as being isolated, withdrawn. disconnected and lovely. What do all you think? How do you read it in a spread?
