Cards drawn in an overview spread:
Card 1, Page of Cups
Card 2, Nine of Swords
Card 3, The Lovers
Card 4, Four of Pentacles

Interpretation:

Card One, YOUR CURRENT SITUATION: The Page of Cups represents an imaginative person who is able to find inspiration in the most unlikely places. You should be open to ideas which spring from unexpected situations. The Page of Cups can also signify the beginning of a new project, albeit in its nascent form of a sudden idea. Your inspiration has arrived or is just about to.

Card Two, WHAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK: Despite these flashes of inspiration, a profound feeling of worry may be preventing you from moving forward. The Nine of Swords is a card of stress and anxiety. Something is weighing on your mind, or perhaps you a feel a distinct lack of self confidence. Bear in mind though that Swords are to do with mental energy – so the Nine of Swords represents anxieties in the mind, rather than an outside force holding you back. You need to change something about the way you think.

Card Three, WHAT YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON: Put simply, you need to focus on what you love – that could be an activity, an idea, a hobby… In the context of a question about career it is also useful to think of The Lovers as signifying some kind of harmonious union. This could be a partnership with a like-minded collaborator for instance. The Lovers also suggests the idea of making contact – you need to reach out to others for assistance or collaboration.

Card Four, NEAR FUTURE OUTCOME: As an outcome for a question about money and business, the Four of Pentacles has both positive and negative connotations. He represents stability and financial security – someone who has acquired wealth and is unlikely to squander it. However, he is clutching to his coins desperately – he has become a miser, obsessed with material gain at the expense of all else. This card should be taken both as a signifier of good fortune to come – but also as a warning – those who worship Mammon too fervently risk becoming its slave. Everybody, including you, will benefit if you share your profits among the community.

Your result:

First roll-  PAST: 2;4;4;6- one goat, two camels, one horse

Second roll- PRESENT: 1;1;1;2- three sheep, one goat (cat grabbed bone)

Third roll-  FUTURE: 1;6;6;4- one sheep, two horses, one camel

Interpretation:
PAST: While it could be better, this was still a strong throw ending on a resounding peak. An encouragingly positive history.
PRESENT: …and this could not be a stronger contrast. Very troubling indication for the present. Now might not be the right time?
FUTURE: A slow start, but the bones landed even more positively than the first throw. Something good is coming.

Cards drawn in Three-card spread,
with forth major arcana card above:
Card 1, Six of Cups
Card 2, Two of Swords (reversed)
Card 3, Five of Cups
Card 4 at the top,
The Empress (reversed)

Interpretation:

Card One, You at the present time: Cups signify emotion and frame of mind. All the cups in this card are upright, demonstrating mirth and balance. There is an optimistic quality to this card; dreams feel obtainable.

Currently things appear to be going nicely for you emotionally. This is a happy card often representing joy, with child-like innocence, alongside happy whimsical moments. Love and support are around you now.

Card Two, Immediate future: The swords are often a sign you need to give an aspect of your life careful and considered thought. It looks as if you are about to face a decision that you are hesitant to make or you feel stuck somehow, but fear making a move forward. The Two of Swords often represents a reluctance to face a truth that you’d much rather ignore. When the card is reversed it makes the decision imperative. If there’s something in your life that you’re unsure about, whether it is a job you dislike or a relationship that isn’t working as you’d hoped, this card suggests that circumstances could push you to face this and it is urging you to choose wisely.

Card Three, Distant future: Another ‘emotion’ card this time depicting apprehension, even disappointment. But the cloak the woman is wearing in the card is red, signifying passion and courage which will prevail. She has the support from those nearest to her.

This card is like standing at a crossroads and being not quite sure which route is best to take. There’s a possibility that something needs to be walked away from and doing so won’t be easy, even if it is for the best in the long-term. Very few of us like change as it creates uncertainty. This is how it may feel, but deep inner-strength and the support of others will be on your side.

Card Four, The big picture : The Empress encompasses all that is feminine: fertility, abundance both in sexuality and materiality, beauty and nurture/motherhood.

As this card is reversed, it suggests perhaps a part of you has been lost, perhaps for the sake of someone else – compromising your needs to please others. A loss of clarity, or financial difficulty can occur when this card is reversed, but none of this will be forever, you have the power within you to change it.

SUMMARY: Over all some challenges await you, but it’s not all bad, the first three cards are ‘minor’ ones, so what is ahead will not be ‘huge’, but there is advice:

Make decisions wisely and carefully. Do not lose sight of who you are and what you need; look after yourself, especially health-wise. Don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t always go according to plan!

This is a transitional period for you. It is something that needs to happen for you to go forward and it will benefit you in the long run. You have support there for you when you need it.

Cards drawn in the 
‘Window Overlooking the Stairway’ spread
(read as drawn from bottom to top):
.
Bottom: The Hermit
Step 2: Three of Wands
Step 3: The Tower
Step 4: Eight of Cups
Window: Princess of Swords
 

Interpretation:

I’ve used the Thoth Tarot, which is my speciality, and I use a technique known as ‘Elemental Dignity’ rather than reversed cards. This technique uses the elemental and astrological correspondences of the Tarot Cards to decide whether they have a good meaning or a bad meaning, which allows me to have shades of grey, instead of the GOOD/BAD system of card reversals (upsidedown cards shuffled randomly into the deck,) which I find silly and not representative of real life.

I put down five cards for you, in a spread I was taught by a Tarot reader from Osaka. The spread is called called ‘The Window Overlooking the Stairway’ (I’m told it sounds a lot better in Japanese.) Here we your four steps up, exploring the direction you need to go in, and the window overlooking it all, which is a card giving some advice that you might not have thought about before.

So, we start at the bottom of the stairs, with a card that represents your general situation at the moment – here we have The Hermit. He’s a major arcana, a card representing a general situation in your life rather than a set of specific choices you’ve made. I’d say that at the moment things you previously held dear are falling away and seeming less important, perhaps you’re reaching a new phase of life or some projects/commitments are coming to their natural end. Either way, you’re finding yourself withdrawn from things and feeling that the WHY of things is more important than the WHAT/WHERE. You’re seeking answers, and they’re taking you away from what you know.

The Next step up is what to increase. Here we have the Three of Wands. What to increase is your ambition and progress – take the new aspects of your life, the elements you want to enhance, and run with them. From this card I’d say that although you’re asking what your next step should be, there is a specific new path already open, and you’d be well advised to explore it.

Step Three is what to decrease. This step is The Tower. In Jainism, before someone can devote their life to the study of a spiritual path they have to achieve ‘right livelihood,’ the practise of creating an equilibrium in their daily life that gives them the stability to concentrate on enlightenment. I’d suggest this card is telling you the same thing – achieve stability so that you can advance. Remove the tensions in your life, make sure your incomings and outgoings match and balance yourself against emotional strife. Once you’ve got this balance you’ll be able to move on.

Step Four, the top of the stairs, represents the way forward. This card is the Eight of Cups, and it represents discipline and emotional objectivity. It isn’t an easy card, as doing what you know should be done, and having to obey rules instead of following your instincts can feel restrictive and joyless, but this is your next step. Here we have a card that shows now is not the time to indulge the self and follow your instincts. Now is the time to exercise self discipline and do what you know objectively should be done. Point yourself at the most difficult, restrictive path and head for it!

Finally, we have the window overlooking the stairway. This card is a piece of general advice to think about through all of the steps. This card is the Princess of Swords. She represents a young, undeveloped force with a lot of potential. She is the Earthy part of Air, and as such there is a little friction between the Airy and Earthy parts of her nature. When crystals and dust travel in the air, we get lightning and thunder. This is the Princess’ way of bringing the high concepts of Air into fruition by dragging them down to earth. Its advice to you is to seek your spiritual path in the difficult, the dull and the mundane. Seek the spiritual in your everyday troubles and obligations, at work, at home, with friends and family. That is the next stage of your spiritual path.

Cards drawn:
Two of Swords
Two of Wands
Hanged Man

.

.

Interpretation:

To start we can see that this reading really indicates a transition. The card that represents your past is the Two of Swords, showing that there was a sense of balance in your life and the decisions you made up to this point, that you were ready for new endeavours with both feet firmly planted on the ground. Then comes the Two of Wands, representing your present, which again is very balanced and level headed. It shows boldness and courage and means, in terms of the question, that in trying to get this job you have done everything conceivable to obtain it. It also shows a dominant personality, which may have been necessary for the job. Finally we come to The Hanged Man, a card of change and abandonment, this shows that your life will definitely be changing, but could mean that with the new job, or without the new job, there may be happenings that you couldn’t have planned for. From the first two cards it seems like you will be getting this job. However the Hanged Man shows that in getting the job you may not be as satisfied as you were hoping, and that it may just be a stepping stone to the goal you really want to obtain.

Cards drawn in an overview spread:
Card 1, The Chariot
Card 2, Eight of Wands
Card 3, Two of wands

Interpretation:

Card One,  LOVE: The Chariot is a highly contradictory card: he implies movement yet his wheels are stationary, his body encased in armour. A situation which was once freely moving has now come to a halt and you will want to move on, perhaps less hindered by the burden of your heavy armour. Time perhaps to look for inspiration from a different area of your life… which brings us on to…

Card Two,  CAREER: A fast-moving and busy time awaits. You maybe entering a period of intense activity, inundated with tasks but fully equipped with the desire and energy to throw yourself into them. Be wary of making snappy decisions in all the excitement. Keep an eye on incoming messages – some important news may be on it’s way.

Card Three,  HEALTH & WELL BEING, A focusing of creative energy will fuel you at this potentially stressful time, but it must be focused in the right direction. A choice must be made in your physical regime to accommodate the additional energy spent on work – it is time to be more focussed on your body and it’s needs: Perhaps by taking up a new activity which acts as both an exercise and a way to relieve stress.

Summary: The heaviness you may feel in your love life is giving way to new excitement on the career front. Just make sure to balance your energy wisely and be careful not to make any rash decisions.

Question:
In a few months,
I will be moving away to start a completely new life in a different city.
Trouble is, I'm terrified!
Will things go as smoothly as they can do?
Thank you x

Cards drawn in the Pentagram spread
(read as drawn anticlockwise from the top point one):
Card 1, top point : Three of Wands;
Card 2, bottom left : The Hierophant reversed
Card 3, top right : The Emperor reversed
Card 4, top left : Four of Cups
Card 5, bottom right : The Wheel Of Fortune

Interpretation:

Card One, representing the question,  suggests that, although the path ahead of you is new and somewhat daunting, you do have a very clear picture of your situation and of all of the posibilities that could arise at any moment over the next few months.

Card Two, representing the past, suggests that you have done everything possible to ensure your move goes smoothly and have personally looked into every detail so that every decision is made from your own understanding, and not from the guess-work of others. This puts you in the strongest position possible at this point because there is nothing hidden from you.

Card Three, representing the forces working in this situation,  implies that there will be stressful and confusing times, but it looks like the easily overcome obstacles of having a lot on your plate. Small things like allowing a little extra time for more important issues should see you through any complications.

Card Four, representing your feelings,  is a card of decision-making and uncertainty. It suggests that you want someone else to step in and make choices for you because you are unsure of your ability to make the best choices. This card would ask you to listen to your own mind and heart. The advice of others is always worth considering, but it is also worth remembering that anyone not directly involved in a situation has nothing to gain or lose and may not give their full attention to the advice you seek.

Card Five, representing the answer to your question,  is an encouraging card and indicates good fortune and happiness. It implies that, although things will not be perfectly smooth, the effort you put in will be worth it, and will pay off.

Question: 
Hi there! I'm currently involved in a project at work,
and was wondering if you could give me an inckling
if I'm going to end up changing direction in my career,
and if it will be with the same company?
A pretty hard question I know, so thanks in advance!

Your result:
Hexagram 46- Sheng, 'Pushing Upward'.
Moving line:in the fourth and the sixth place


PUSHING UPWARD has supreme success.
One must see the great man.
Fear not.
Departure toward the south
Brings good fortune.

Hexagram 50- Ting, 'The Cauldron'
THE CAULDRON. Supreme good fortune.
Success.

.

Interpretation:
Your current project is certain to be successful. you are showing yourself to be competent adaptable, easy to work with, and in tune with the brief. Your professional skills are equal to the task, and external circumstances ensure that your efforts will be rewarded. Your lack of arrogance and application have recommended you to your superiors. However, do not let your modesty prevent you from directly engaging with those those higher up in the chain of command. You must go to see authoritative people. If you marshal the courage to do this, and heed of the advice of ‘The Great Man’, You will surely advance. This may, indeed, involve a change of path. Do not fear this.
The second hexagram derives from changing lines in the first hexagram in the fourth and the sixth place (reading upwards). NOTE: these lines are important!
Six in the fourth place means:

The king offers him Mount Ch’i. Good fortune. No blame.

Your success in this project will lead to an offer to join a circle of powerful and influential people. This will enhance your reputation and bring fame. You will be involved in an important and worthwhile project.
Six at the top means:

Pushing upward in darkness. It furthers one To be unremittingly persevering.

Keep Your Head! Don’t let your new found success lead you into blind, gratuitous ambition. Success can turn your head. Remember what got you there in the first place. Keep true to your self, and the virtues of application, conscientiousness, and pride in your work, and you’ll get to where you need to be with your head and heart intact.

The Cauldron (‘Ting’) suggests the providing of nourishment, especially in a ritualised and spiritual context. The ‘Ting’ serves in offering sacrifice to God. This suggests that your new position will work out supremely well, and put you in touch with broader and higher values that will enhance your understanding of the world.Your progression to a more exalted position should be accompanied by a restraint of the ego in the service of the work, and an adherence to what is right and true.

What a question for us!

We wondered whether it was a ‘How many fingers am I holding up?’ kind of question. We spent some time deliberating over it, and then it took a while to figure out a spread that would address it intelligently. To simplifiy things we reframed your question to become ‘Will I have a child in the next 18 months?’ We hope you’re pleased with the result.

.

Cards drawn in a custom spread:

.

Yes or no- The Moon
Circumstances behind result- King of Swords (reversed)
What would improve the situation- The World
Future outcome- 5 of Swords

Wildcard- (date or season) 3 of Wands

.

Interpretation:

The first card is the right way up, indicating a Yes answer to the question- ‘Will I have a child in the next 18 months?’ (The Moon can indicate an underlying error or deception at the point of the question, but for our purpose we will take it in good faith.) Your fertility is not, or is no longer, in question.

The card contributing to this result is principally seen as a clever man who is prone to being over- authoritarian. In his dark moments this is a character who wouldn’t think twice about bending you to his will, simply because he finds it hard to imagine other people’s feelings. By having a child, would you be escaping from this situation, or are you making yourself more vulnerable to it? He could be an unsympathetic doctor, or, in the case of a fostered/adopted child, he would represent the state, which may have hindered the arrangement.

You can improve your situation by keeping a firm grip on reality. You may feel hemmed in by your physical circumstances, but it is possible to take control of them. Sort out your money, your housing, your physical fitness and make good use of the material means at your disposal. Get ready to start all over again- this is a blessing.

Your future outcome holds a warning- someone is getting away with something at another’s expense- in the short term. If you suspect anyone of disloyalty your suspicions are correct. Or you may be the one to feel desperate enough to cut your losses and make off with what you can. We must all do what we need to in order to survive, but we mustn’t do it lightly. Whoever’s pride is hurt will rearm and grow stronger.

And finally that Wildcard: a birth in the spring- (March- April), a flourishing enterprise, a child with the world at his feet. Enjoy!

In summary, this spread indicates that your success is assured in the long term, but the best outcome requires that you are willing to make some big changes in your life,  and a painful honesty about the motivations of everyone involved.

Cards drawn in the Annual spread:
January -  April : Three of Wands;
May - August : Eight of Swords
September - December : Knight of Wands
Additional card : The Magician

Interpretation:

January -  April

An idea or project, the seeds of which may have been sewn in the previous year, is beginning to grow.  You are now waiting patiently for your effort to be rewarded and your project to come into fruition.

May – August

Around the middle of the year, the tension caused by of all this waiting may make you feel as though you are mentally “losing balance”.  However, the creative spirit which has been nurturing your ideas can help you to keep your grip.  Keeping this in mind will cradle any fall.

September – December

With Autumn comes a sudden urge to escape the stresses of the Summer.  Although others may see your decisions as rash or impulsive, you will be sure to salvage a small cutting from the branches of the idea/project from the year’s 1st quarter and take this with you.  A much greater creative energy will follow you on your sudden journey and although this may mean re-starting your plans, you will be better equipped in the new year to nurture your project more fully.

Additional card : The Magician

The start of the next year sees you at a creative peak.  Very much at the beginning of a new phase but all the more powerful and with much greater potential.
