A.F. has requested an interpretation of the above cards that were drawn according to the protocol of silently completing the sentence, “Please give me some insight into __________.” A.F. has not told me what (s)he has put into the blank space. The first three cards are the “heart” of the reading and are read as a unit. Then, the fourth card is drawn and read as a summary or clarifier. If we include the summary card, there are two threes and two cups in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on A.F.’s expression of her/his feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. Because there are no members of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is A.F.’s everyday life rather than her/his soul’s agenda for this lifetime. There are no other two-of-a-kind or more in suits or numbers.
The spotlight has been on the three of cups, a time to celebrate. Look how far you’ve come, A.F.! You have been working very hard to identify and let go of that which no longer serves you. Now it is time to celebrate what you have allowed to be part of who you are. It is important to include others in your celebration so that you can show them the value of focusing on the good things, no matter how small, you/they have done, and being grateful for them. Remember, “thank you” means “keep it coming.”
The spotlight is now on the seven of wands, your tendency to act in haste and become defensive too easily. The advice of the card is to stop, take a breath, and ask yourself if you really are being attacked. You will find that the answer is “no” more often than “yes.” It is not in your highest good to use your skills and talents as a weapon, nor is it a good idea to hide behind one of them. The fact that you are wearing two different shoes speaks to the need for more self-care and taking the time to make sure you are in a grounded, balanced state before you go further.
The spotlight is moving toward the eight of cups, being dissatisfied with what you have accumulated, turning your back on it, and going off to find more. If you are in a mindset of lack, you cannot manifest anything but more lack. It’s time to turn around and truly appreciate what you have in place, which allows you to manifest from a state of abundance.
The summary card is the three of wands. This card appears when you have recently launched a person and/or a project that caused you to develop new skills and talents in the process. You are being encouraged to express one of those newer abilities now instead of reaching for the same old familiar activity that you used to cling to. This will serve you well. Good luck, A.F.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
