E.M. 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 __________.” E.M. 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 kingsthere are two kings (king=14=1+4=5), another five, and two pentacles in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on E.M.’s achieving a level of mastery in making choices in the areas of values, priories, and work, with a connection to feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. Because there are no members of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is E.M.’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 King of Cups, the master of the water realm, home of feelings, emotions, relationships, and psychic abilities. This card shows up here now to assure you that you are perfectly qualified for the job of ruling over this realm. You consistently show up at the top of your game, exquisitely balanced to ride the waves of the water realm, receiving, containing and/or holding, and transmitting the energies without getting your foot wet.
The spotlight is now on the five of pentacles, going within instead of going without. Resource is always at hand. All the fives in the tarot deck speak of the freedom to make choices, and this one shows up to remind you that you need not continue to suffer and be miserable. Remember that whatever you put your attention on tends to attract more of the same, so it behooves you to raise your vibration and look up, so you can see what is right within your reach that can help.
The spotlight is moving toward the Queen of Wands, the Sunflower Queen, who hides her light behind a black cat that she uses to keep people at a distance. She never lets anyone get too close, and if things turn out less than anyone’s idea of good, much less perfect, she blames the cat. This winds up with her playing the role of instigator and excuse-maker at the same time. This card appears when it is time to fire the cat, become more authentic in your interactions with others, and let your light shine enough for the sunflower to turn and face you. You are good enough, strong enough, wise enough, and able to ignore public opinion enough to be genuine.
The summary card is the King of Pentacles, the master of integrity. This king has managed to be “in the world but not of it.” He walks his talk, and his word is his bond. He is consistent in adhering to the best and highest values, and he is just in all his dealings. Many consult him, and many admire him. That’s you, E.M.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
