Tarot card meanings

This card says it’s time to harvest the fruits of your labour, look back at all the hard work and all you have achieved through discipline. You are self reliant, financially independent and successful, so it’s time to treat yourself! Pentacles represent the material side of things in life, but material wealth isn’t the only aspect this card represents- a richness of spirit and an appreciation of the abundance in your life is also symbolised in these three very different cards.

10 long heavy Wands are often depicted as a burden being carried by a lone person in this card. They have a path to follow, a place to take the Wands, but with heads down and eyes closed, it’s hard to concentrate on the goal, or even remember why they’re doing it. The difficult weight of the burden and responsibilities pulling them down causes a distraction from the bigger picture, but help is there if they choose to seek it.

Often a fairly dark looking card, the five of cups represents sadness, loss, disappointment, pain and grief. Cups have been knocked over, their contents spilled, but if the figure in the card chooses to look up and about themselves, they would see that two of the five cups are still standing and there is a way forward out of their misery, typically depicted as a bridge over a river, leading to a safe haven.
