Tarot Cards (Major Arcana) – Fool This card is ruled by Planet Uranus and has Air element. This card does not have a specific position in the sequence of Major Arcana Tarot Cards.

As such, this card is thought to have unlimited potential. In fact the Major Arcana is often considered as the journey of the Fool through all the phases of life. This way it is considered that he is ever present and therefore he does not need a specific number assigned to him. The card shows the fool with the sun rising behind him. It represents the beginning of the journey. The fool is facing the north-west - the direction that is associated with the unknown. The fool looks upwards towards the sky - towards the Spirit. He is about to step off the cliff to descend to the material world. He has all the tools required in a bag, but he was not opened the bag yet. The white rose in his left hand, the hand that represents the subconscious, represents purity and innocence. The little white dog is his companion in the journey who will push him to learn the lessons of life. The mountains behind him represent the domain of spirituality that he is ready to leave but would spend his whole life trying to regain it. Upright Position: In a reading, this card speaks about approaching the unknown or embarking upon a journey that is yet unplanned. It also indicates that worries and burdens will be eradicated. The subject has an open mind and an adventurous heart. Reversed Position: Reversed, the card symbolizes recklessness and a suspicious and fearful nature.

There are clouds in the blue sky above him and also an indication of wind which is evident from the man’s blowing hair. The man seems to have been collecting swords. There are two swords placed over his left shoulder, and he is holding a third one with his right hand. Before him on the ground there are two more swords. It seems that this man has been triumphant over the two retreating ones and has managed to take these from them. The two men seem to be going away with a feeling of sadness and loss that is evident from their hunched strides. Upright Position: The card signifies two things – triumph and conflict. It probably means that the subject will be victorious, but only after a phase of hard work. The card also suggests that though the subject thinks that the intentions are honorable, she/he is probably blinded by self centered intentions, and lacks compassion and empathy towards others. Depending upon the background of the seeker, the card may even indicate abuse. Reversed Position: Reversed, the card does not hold the opposite meaning. However, in this case, the victim perhaps is the subject her/himself. It suggests that the person has got entangled in a conflict or is being unable to walk away from an unwanted event or memory from the past. An old wound may reopen and the seeker may find residual resentment remaining in her/his soul.

Minor Arcana – Five Cups The Five of Cups card depicts a man in a black cloak standing seemingly in despair. The man hides his face in the cloak which expresses his anxiety. There are five cups at the feet of the man. Three of them have fallen down on the ground and their contents have spilled out. The other two remain standing. The man does not pay much heed to the two standing cups. All his focus seems to be on the fallen ones. Ahead of him there is a river that flows to separate him from a castle at a distance. The castle is probably his home and the scene depicts that he is separated from the comfort and security of his own home. The card signifies challenging times where dealing with losses is a high probability. However, the standing cups signify hope and suggest that the man should turn his focus from the spilled cups that depict his loss to the standing ones that would help him rebuild what he has lost. Upright Position: The card is generally considered to depict a loss. It also may indicate conflicts and challenges. However, the card also teaches to appreciate what remains. It signals to shift the focus from the empty cups to the cups that are still holding the ground - which means to move on and rebuild based on the remaining assets rather than to mourn for what is lost. Reversed Position: Reversed the card inability to move on in life as the subject perhaps holds on to the tragedies of the past and refuses to gear up to utilize the available resources to make a better future.
