N.C. 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 __________.” N.C. 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 swords in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses on N.C.’s resolving conflict. Because there is just one member of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is primarily N.C.’s everyday life with only a slight connection to 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 eight of pentacles that emphasizes allowing the quality of your work to speak for itself. You do very high-quality work, N.C., and it is to your benefit to let others know what you offer. If there is any part of your “finished product” that you are still fine-tuning, please feel free to continue to work on it; just don’t put it on display yet. Sometimes this card indicates going into business for yourself; it always encourages you to “do your own thing.”
The spotlight is now on the Lovers, the gift of healing. What a beautiful gift you have been given, N.C. You will notice that the connection in this relationship is through the angel, not between the two people. You hold the space to give people the permission and the support to heal themselves if that is what they choose to do. The healing comes through you but not from you. You are a receiver, a container, and a transmitter of the Light.
The spotlight is moving toward the ten of swords, nine of swords, the nightmare card, one of the timing cards in the deck. This is like the experience of waking up at 2 A.M. and remembering that the car needs an oil change. You feel so much anxiety, like it’s all up to you, and you need to get it done NOW. Nobody’s open at this hour. It will all go much more easily and smoothly if you wait until the sun comes up and the timing is better. You will be better served by getting a good night’s rest at this time.
The summary card is the five of swords, the freedom to make choices when faced with conflict. The lesson here is “The way to win, is not to play.” Do not give your power away by letting anyone else tempt you into joining the fight. Raise your vibration by engaging your discernment and energizing your gratitude that you always have choices. A good question to ask is, “How can I change the way I am looking at this right now to feel better, to enjoy it more?”
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
