King of Cups Reversed

King of Cups Reversed appears to suggest corruption and dishonesty. In my last note on Five of Wands Reversed I mentioned how a friend of mine talk in nasty tones which he actually didn't mean any harm such that I felt uncomfortable in sharing my sadness and difficulties with him. Where will I be if I shall allow this situation to last? King of Cups Reversed at the Possible Outcome position suggests that dishonesty (or a lack of sincere communication as I will adapt in this case) will be resulted if I am not doing anything for it.
In another case, when friends around seems to be abandoning me one by one, I have a special concern over those friends who are staying behind with me. In a Celtic spread that I did on the relationship between me and another close friend of mine the King of Cups Reversed showed up at the Hope and Fear position demonstrating that I fear the possible deterioration of my close relationships with others.

Five of Wands Reversed

Five of Wands Reversed suggests rules for competition abandoned, battles are taking on a nastier tone. I have briefly mentioned in my note for Seven of Cups Reversed that there is a friend I find it hard to share my thoughts with. The problem was that I find him getting nastier than usual. He didn't mean any harm but it has definitely weakened my confidence in myself. In that Celtic spread reading, Five of Wands Reversed showed up at the Hope and Fear position pointing the short circuit in our relationship and that it is time for me to make up my mind (Seven of Cups Reversed!) to do something with this problem. Fix it and my relationship with this close friend of mine will become cool again. (Eight of Wands)

Seven of Pentacles Reversed

In my limited experience, Seven of Pentacles Reversed suggests that meaningful work is simply not available, there is a trapped feeling in the person. Seven of Pentacles Reversed showed up at the Near Future position in a Celtic spread I did for the relationship between a close friend of mine and myself. Our relationship reached a low and it seemed to me that there are nothing I could do except not to mess him off, id est to say not to find him at all. But isn't this a vicious circle? How am I suppose to mend anything if I am not allowed to go and mend anything? The Seven of Pentacles Reversed at this near future position suggests very well the dilemma that I am facing. (Extra note: For this particular situation I looked at the Moon Reversed showed up at the Self position and Knight of Wands showed up at the Hope and Fear position. They could be valuable for me to come up with some kind of solution to the trouble I am facing. If I am not gonna change anything, the outcome would probably be the loss of a friend as indicated by Ace of Cups Reversed at the outcome position.)

The Chariot

The Chariot clearly suggests success, often on the level of the materialistic world. The Chariot showed up on my friend's reading on whether Imperial College would accept him or not (and he did receive an offer afterwards, after being rejected by Oxford, Cambridge and two other Universities when the Imperial College remained as his last hope). The Chariot showed up at the Outcome position of a Celtic spread that I've done for my friends on the question whether she could recover from a certain illness. The Chariot showed up at the Basis position of two of my own Celtic spreads on whether I should be a fortune teller or not and whether learning occult science could lead me to victory and profits in speculations. The Chariot at this position seems to suggest that I have a good foundation for my knowledge in occult science in both cases.

The Hanged Man Reversed

The Hanged Man Reversed suggests our inability to get free from social pressure. We were doing what others expected us to do rather than listening to our inner selves, or, we simply deny it.
Continue from the Lovers and Lovers Reversed note, in the two Celtic spread on speculations, the Hanged Man Reversed showed up in the Hope and Fear position on my first spread and then on the Cross position on my second spread. To me, on my first spread on whether my study on occult science could bring me victory and profit on the stock market, Hanged Man Reversed on the Hope and Fear position seems to suggest my fear of social pressure as it is far from common to carry out speculations with divination tools. How am I going to explain it to others? Am I going to lose my friends on this? This Hanged Man Reversed showed up at the Cross position over a Lovers Reversed center in my second spread on whether I should simply do speculation through ordinary analysis or not. Why did I make the choice of Lovers Reversed? Is that due to the social pressure from the Hanged Man Reversed?

The Lovers Reversed

Continuing from the entry "The Lovers", the Lovers Reversed seemed to suggested the opposite of weaknesses and blocks. The second Celtic spread I lay out immediately after I asked about the prospect of applying occult science to speculations, I asked about whether I should do it the ordinary way by reading newspapers, magazines and annual reports and the card at the Center was the Lovers Reversed. What a contrast to my first reading! As the Lovers suggests choice, I guess that in this case the Lovers Reversed suggests a weaker choice being made.
Sure enough it is not strange for us to find implications from the Lovers Reversed on more simple matters of love. In one case my friend asked me whether a girl she knew could be his Lover or not and the card showed up was the Lovers Reversed. The card seems self-explanatory in this case.

The Lovers

There are cards where its meaning is not clear to me and that only time could tell whether my explanation is right or not. But then if I have to wait for enough evidences on the accuracy of my interpretations of card meanings then this blog should not have existed at all. My aim for this site is to recall myself with experiences on various Tarot cards during my learning process and also to serve as an insight provider to interested friends of mine. And I believe that unfinished contemplation and conjectures could serve as good lessons to divination learners too.
One of these cards is the Lovers. Literally, the Lovers signifies love and relationship (which is straight forward) and also the matter of choice.
A little background here that I have to state is that I learned from a teacher of mine that with faith it is possible for one to use divination methods for speculating in stock market. He himself is rich and I believe in his wisdom and integrity. Intuitively I believe that my study of occult science would render me to victory and profit in the stock market as well. This background will be useful for my explanations of meanings of a number of cards in a couple of entries coming forward.
Once I have lay out a Celtic spread on the question whether my study on occult science could lead me to victory and profit in the stock market or not? The Lovers showed up in the Center position, crossed by Queen of Wands Reversed. As I mentioned, literally the Lovers suggest a matter of choice, in this particular case when I am implicitly comparing this divination approach to other fundamental approaches in the stock market, I believe that in this case the Lovers at the center signifies that I have made the right choice on this matter. It is worthwhile to note that Queen of Cups and Ace of Pentacles showed up in the Possible Outcome and Outcome positions respectively.
