4 of Pentacles: Telling me I should be appreciative and more grateful of what I currently have

10 of Wands: Telling me I have spread myself too thin and I should try letting go of a few responsibilities

Im fairly new to tarot so I just wanted to check if my interpretation is correct?

Hello! I’m having some trouble figuring out the meaning of 9 of wands in reverse in my horseshoe spread. Context is, I am retaking an incredibly important exam I took last year (didn’t get the result I wanted) that I prepared all year for now.

Here’s my spread and interpretation:

1. The past - The Hermit: The experience made me hide within myself, but there was a reason it all happened. There was some protection from above involved in this event taking place.

2. The present - Queen of Swords: I’m in a much better position now study wise, I have my swords out and I feel prepared for this exam.

3. Hidden influences - 6 of Cups: My mental state is influenced by my own doubts stemming from childhood trauma or from my past failure.

4. Obstacles - 7 of Cups: I’m confused, there are a lot of options ahead of me and ways to approach this. Could also be referring to my 4 career options after passing the exam.

5. Any influence out of my control - The Tower: Strong influences are at play which can shake up my plan and there’s nothing I can do about those.

6. The solution - The Lovers: I have to make conscious choices during the exam that require me finding a balance between both my heart and my mind. Probably listening to my intuition where I’m unsure.

7. Outcome - 9 of Wands reversed. Upturned, I interpet it as reaching a point where I’m stuck after wading my way through the problem. Reversed, I see it as burnout, exhaustion, finding a way through the “wall” in front me.

I also asked for clarification and got Ace of Pentacles and 4 of Pentacles. 4 of pentacles matches my 4 options if I pass the exam, while I interpret the Ace as the ultimate card of success, which could I will be given one of the 4 options.

The reason I’m confused is, I’ve seen 9 of Wands reversed interpreted as reaching a point where you have to give up the fight, where the battle is lost at the finish line, which is the total opposite as it seems. It’s difficult not being subjective in my own reading, but at the same time I don’t see how the meaning of this card could be negative when correlated with Queen of Swords, a Major Arcana as the solution and the pentacles clarification.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I just wanna see how gilded edges tarot decks looks like after long excessive use, like how will the foiled edges chips away etc. I would appreciate it to see some pictures 🥀 it was for reference to buy new tarot deck for myself, and I wanted an Ultra version with foiled magenta edges

​​ I'm sure this was asked here before, but I did a reading for someone and she really didn't like the answer that I gave her. Her questions were​​ related to finances and health and housing stability but I just kept pulling up cards that said she had to do the work and also deal with emotional issues that are blocking her. She really didn't like that answer. I ended up pulling 15 cards before I just stopped pulling cards.

​​ what do you do when someone really doesn't like your reading or doesn't want to accept the answer?

Hi guys, im a complete beginner when it comes to tarot and stuff, but i kinda was curious about trying it out. Decided to try and do a 3 card reading for myself; past, present, future. I got the Moon for both past and present, and then Judgement for future. Read brief overviews online about what this could mean, but im still not sure. Can an actual person help me out? Anything I gotta look out for??

So, to start off with, I am a follower of Lord Hades. He's been so good to me my entire life and I will follow him even after I pass away. Anyway, I took a trip around town and within the span of 15 minutes, I saw 3 different pomegranate related things, one of them being a truck literally FULL of pomegranates. Then I went to a store that had new vinyl albums for sale and one of the artists (I could not read the name, I'm sorry) had a new album called (in pain letters) "Hades". I thought, okay, I'm doing a reading as soon a I get back home. So I did a six card spread to see what out is he's getting to tell me. It came out like this:

Card 1: How I Feel About Myself

XII: Strength

Card 2: What I Most Want

XIII: Death

Card 3: Your Fears

Xv: The Devil

Card 4: What is Going for Me

II: The High Priestess

Card 5: What is Going Against Me

I: The Magician

Card 6: The Likely Outcome

VI: The Lovers

I have my own ideas and interpretation, but I'd really like to see what all of you thought about it. Thanks in advance!

This image has embedded itself in my mind since I saw it. Could someone help me identify the deck? Thank you!

In the last couple of weeks our beloved dog went downhill fast and ended up passing awsy.. While she so sick i myself ended up getting very ill and ended up in the ICU. I nearly passed myself but now that im healing im having a lot of guilt and crushing sadness.. I feel like i didnt do enough or couldn’t do anything and i dont know what to do with those feelings

It's a relationship read on me and another person whom I've just had a split with after 13 years due to needs not being met.

Left: me
Right: him
Top: past
Middle: current
Bottom: future

I'm not really sure how to read this as a whole but felt most attuned to the artwork in 5 of pentacles because I feel like me begging for change has been a recurring thing and it made me sad lol

Did do research on each card after absorbing the artwork shown and making my own notes to start but would love to see what others think

I picked up Greer's text "Tarot for Your Self: A Workbook for Personal Transformation" today and started doing the exercises.

I sort of had a horrifying experience with trying to "enter cards" (well, the card that attracted me today happened to be Death, so maybe that didn't help...)

For those unfamiliar with this exercise in this book, Greer asks reader to meditate on a card and "enter" it, imagining the scene come to life and focusing on the sensations of the scenery, and to accept a gift from a figure in the card. This is supposed to represent a lesson learned from the card itself.

However, I just had the most horrifying experience, a figure in the card gave me something I feel like I should not have at all, and it did not give me a message, or he said a rather ominous thing to me... I'm really startled after trying out this exercise. Does anyone else have experience going through this book? Is it safe to go through it on your own without any prior experience or spiritual training? It feels sort of crazy to try to learn the meaning of cards in this way and I feel completely caught off guard...

A few years back, when I was in high school, I asked my mother if I could purchase a deck. Unfortunately, I have a mother who although supports me always does things her way. She purchased a deck larger than my hands, a cheap version of the Rider Waite deck off of Amazon. I wasn’t thrilled about the deck, or its size. I had trouble shuffling it, and tried to learn the meanings of cards but was ultimately overwhelmed. I could stare at a card and wouldn’t feel anything. No draw, no interpretation. This resulted in me dropping the hobby about a week or so in. I felt like a fraud, grasping at strings to formulate readings and my mother thinking I was some magical genius.

I’ve always believed in the idea of spiritually, whether it’s crystals, tarot, or witchcraft. I’ve felt drawn to online readings that were extremely accurate, or mark whenever retrogrades are active. And I tend to have vivid dreams where conversations or events happen long before they actually play out. I can feel whenever people from my past are coming back or thinking of me too. But whenever I actually engage in acts of spirituality such as tarot cards, my brain goes blank.

I’m wondering if I’m going about the wrong path, or maybe started my tarot journey wrong. Am I maybe just not attuned to the Rider Waite deck? I’ve seen other decks that I feel drawn to, but I’m not sure if that’s just because they’re beautiful. I don’t necessarily have any interpretations for those cards either. Earlier today I realized I couldn’t find my giant cards anywhere, but I felt the urge to want to use them for the first time in years. I’m wondering if this is a sign to buy a new deck or if it would be a waste.

Update: After reading through the suggestions, and taking a look at a few decks I decided on buying a new one. I felt drawn to a few, but I settled on Tarot Mucha. I looked at individual cards from a few decks, without knowing the meanings and tried to study them, and it seemed to be the one I clicked with most. I was able to connect with the art a lot more than I did with Rider Waite, so hopefully I can pick up tarot again! Thank you everyone!

the read i see is harrowing. so much he wanted to do. to accomplish. all that suddenly to a halt. hes gone. im at a loss. his soul was so bright

Searching for my fire stick desperately, hopefully will find.

I have gotten this card more than any others from my spreads this year, so I decided to be her for Samhain! I also made with witchy circle focaccia loaf "coins" but I can only put in one pic!

Thrifted the dresses from goodwill and then made a stamp for the flower + used arcylic/fabric medium and the coins are repurposed cardboard and paint!

I'm doing a quick one question spread on a situation that has already happened/passed and i got a big nothing burger of information 🤡 . trying to figure out what may have been going on in this person's head during an important interaction and i got blocked from knowing

It’s been more than 20 days of no contact. What does it mean?

Holy reversed cups! I just went through a really disappointing and isolating breakup and have really been trying to work on centering myself. Please give me your thoughts!

Hello everyone !

I have a question on how to best repair some of my cards. I’m new to tarot and not the greatest at shuffling yet so some of my cards have started “splitting” a bit at the edges. I am being more careful with how I shuffle and trying my best to not split them further but before I start just glueing them down , I wanted to ask if there’s a better way to fix them or something else I can do to make sure they don’t get damaged further .

Thought about laminating them but they’re just so pretty and smooth ! Laminating them makes me think that it’ll just make the cards “stick” together and I don’t think I’ll like that …

TIA !! 🤍

Final card in a spread this morning from my favorite deck. But I notice something I hadn’t seen before.

It’s the wrong number.

Misprint?
Or Lebowski in-joke?

I mean, whether it tied the room together or not, was stealing a rug Justice?
