Always remember the Number One and the Most Important Rule of all: in Love and in War there are no rules

You will find 5 Tarot cards below. Turn them and see what you get. 

Then, take a deep breath and let your heart and intuition decide. It is that simple.

The 5-card Tarot spread is based on the American (Rider-Waite) Tarot. The cards are from the original deck published in 1910 – no more, nor less – 110 years old.

Step II. You will notice a small message card attached to every tarot card. These messages are called “specific arcanum”. They will help you interpret the meanings of the base tarot cards.

Step III. Click the cards for the second time to get a classic American (Rider-Waite) Tarot explanation of their meanings. 

Step IV. Finally – concentrate for a minute. Look at the cards, then look into your soul, look into the depths of your thoughts and mental connections.  That’s where the real magic of the tarot reading hides. And that’s where you will find the best insights

Wheel of Fortune 08

WHEEL OF FORTUNE INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Destiny, fortune, success, elevation, luck, felicity.

In relation to love and feelings, this card has additional arcanum: Fortune favors the bold. One doesn’t win glory by hiding behind the lines.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: In this symbol I have again followed the reconstruction of Eliphas Lévi, who has furnished several variants. It is legitimate—as I have intimated—to use Egyptian symbolism when this serves our purpose, provided that no theory of origin is implied therein. I have, however, presented Typhon in his serpent form. The symbolism is, of course, not exclusively Egyptian, as the four Living Creatures of Ezekiel occupy the angles of the card, and the wheel itself follows other indications of Lévi in respect of Ezekiel’s vision, as illustrative of the particular Tarot Key. With the French occultist, and in the design itself, the symbolic picture stands for the perpetual motion of a fluidic universe and for the flux of human life. The Sphinx is the equilibrium therein. The transliteration of Taro as Rota is inscribed on the wheel, counterchanged with the letters of the Divine Name—to show that Providence is implied through all. But this is the Divine intention within, and the similar intention without is exemplified by the four Living Creatures. Sometimes the sphinx is represented couchant on a pedestal above, which defrauds the symbolism by stultifying the essential idea of stability amidst movement.

Behind the general notion expressed in the symbol there lies the denial of chance and the fatality which is implied therein. It may be added that, from the days of Lévi onward, the occult explanations of this card are—even for occultism itself—of a singularly fatuous kind. It has been said to mean principle, fecundity, virile honor, ruling authority, etc. The findings of common fortune-telling are better than this on their own plane.

Ace of pentacles 28

ACE OF PENTACLES INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Perfect contentment, felicity, ecstasy, also speedy intelligence, gold.

In relation to love and feelings, this card has additional arcanum: If knowing you’re asexual makes someone see you differently, then they don’t deserve to be in your life.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: A hand—issuing, as usual, from a cloud—holds up a pentacle.

Knight of wands 54

KNIGHT OF WANDS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.

The meaning for love is clarified by specific arcanum: Something about him tossed off sparks that set your nerves on fire.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: He is shown as if upon a journey, armed with a short wand, and although mailed is not on a warlike errand. He is passing mounds or pyramids. The motion of the horse is a key to the character of its rider, and suggests the precipitate mood, or things connected therewith.

10 of swords 58

10 OF SWORDS INTERPRETATION

Classic meanings: pain, affliction, tears, sadness, desolation. It is not especially a card of violent death.

In this tarot spread the ten of swords has a special meaning for love: The answer is simple: you have to learn to love more than you fear to loose.

Original description of the card by the author – Arthur Edward Waite: The tarot card shows a prostrate figure, pierced by all the swords belonging to the card.

This is it for today, traveler.

May the Gods of arcane grant you all your wishes.

May the Love divine be your daily companion.
