Tarot Delineation

Simple 5 card layout

I am using the Radiant Rider-Waite® deck to illustrate this reading.

The question I am asking the cards is, “what is it that I need to know about the next few months”? A fairly easy question to ask even though it is general but I’m sure the cards will tell me exactly what I am suppose to know. The key is to do an objective interpretation.

I was surprised to see 4 cups cards out of 5. I half expected to see the Tower as the 1st card.

Basis - the question. 9 of cups.

Here we have the traditional wish card. My question was connected to my heart and probably somewhere in the back of my mind, I was wishing to find out if I would secure another job. This card also shows a completion on an emotional level. Most likely the Tarot is telling me that I am just one huge feeling walking around and not applying action to anything.

What you know - the recent. 2 of cups.

Another cup card suggesting the blending of an emotional state or situation. It’s a card of cooperation or compromise between 2 people. The card is telling me that I already know that I need to work with others and did up until recently (thanks to the Tower’s bolt in the butt).

Also, because this spot is the past it would indicate that I am involved in a joint venture as well. Tossing ideas back and forth with another individual.

What you are not seeing. Page of Pentacles.

I am not seeing the message of this Page. What is the message suggested by the page staring into the pentacle? It looks like a crystal ball. Well the bottom line is that it is important not to lose the vision of generating income again. The Page also suggest there are ways to make a financial vision a reality.

The card can be suggesting that there is news coming. It is the unknown influence at the time of the shuffle. Of course I cannot see this right now, but the cards can. Are the cards telling me this because I need to know information is on it’s way.

OK, it’s 21 cups against 1 single pentacle. which represents The World Card…and that is the hidden guidance of the Major Arcana. This type of deduction doesn’t always work but in this case, it fits in quite nicely. The Page of Pentacles carries the world in his hand. And this means most things are in my own hands. By applying focused passion (cups) anything is possible.

The guidance of The World card is all about rebirthing….the beginning of a new lifestyle. This card also represents an entire season or cycle or Karmic life time. We just entered the Spring season on March 20th. It can take up until the beginning of summer to experience the blessings of the result card…a few months down the road.

Advice to follow - 7 of cups.

This card is telling me to focus and to chose a direction. There are too many emotional ideas floating around and it’s a matter of deciding on one of the cups. I sometimes read this card to mean daydreaming of sorts but as an advice card it wouldn’t be practical advice. But without dreams there are no ideas. There is lots of positive potential which can be experienced through the creative visualization process which is hinted at in the 7 of cups.

The result- 3 of cups.

A group project or team effort is suggested. The 3 of cups indicates a happy conclusion. The outcome is one of celebration and the return of high energy emotions within the next few months.

I want to read this card to mean the merging of the doubting personalities within to get to the point of picking one of those cups in the previous card and holding on to it. I see the “me, myself and I” coming together in a dance of joy.

New Vision Tarot

In the simple 5 card layout I used the New Vision Tarot by Lo Scarabeo. Artists Raul and Gianluca Cestaro. Pietro Alligo. I think this Tarot deck certainly can influence the way you read the cards especially if you rely heavily on imagery. I use this deck to help change my perspective & to allow for other types of guidance that may not be triggered had the straight on images been used.

Lifting the veil of traditional Tarot

No question was consciously asked by the person

.Basis- 5 of Pentacles- the image shows a down trodden individual holding a child sitting under the window with strained glass portraying 5 pentacles. A walking stick leans against the wall. This card pulls at the emotions. There is a feeling of helplessness, while coddling the child within. The disadvantaged state in the basis spot speaks of emotional impoverishment. And yet, the walking cane is not too far away, meaning that the situation is in a pause stage whereby inner lessons need to be addressed- inner emotions of fear and insecurity in the tangible world.

.What you know- Ace of Swords- the traditional sword in hand coming out from a cloud. In the background is a man on a horse. The horse appears to be frightened by something because of its stance. In this spot the person would be aware of being worried or frightened by circumstances that surround them. The Ace is the beginning of powerful thought and energy. It is a good sign because it shows regaining control.

 

The first two cards show a person in a distraught state of mind.

.What you are not seeing- Key 8 Strength- the Lady has her back facing us while she tames the Lion. In the foreground is a snake. In the background there is a dragon formed by the clouds. A type of god is the tip of the mountain & holding an ancient barbaric club of combat. I want to read the snake as both a blessing and warning. It is wise & it is danger. The power of kundalini. Taming the beast within. The external circumstances around the person are reflected within the card -the preparation for battle, when the battle is within. This card speaks strongly of power and internal strength. The snake energy is being over looked or viewed negatively.
