W.B. 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 __________.” W.B. 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 three fives in this mini-reading, so we know that this request for insight focuses strongly on W.B.’s freedom to make choices. Because there is just one member of the Major Arcana, the context for these insights is primarily W.B.’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 King of Wands, mastery of the skills and talents. It looks like you have been spending some time and, effort on keeping your skills and talents up-to-date and consistently strong. You are very good at what you do, and you do it without ego involvement; you are willing to share your throne with the king of the salamanders. You inspire others, and even though you sit on the throne, your skills and talents are firmly planted in the real down-to-earth world. You have helped many people and will continue to do so.
The spotlight is now on the five of cups, mourning what has been lost or you feel is now missing. This can be anything from a feeling of what you don’t have or feel you aren’t “enough” of to the loss of a friend, colleague, relative, home, job, finances, or a sense of satisfaction and/or well-being. Be gentle with yourself; feel the sadness, find out if you are holding any beliefs that are keeping it active, and then, let it go. Recognize that you are energizing “lack” by keeping your attention on it. Turn and feel gratitude for the two cups that are still standing and full.
The spotlight is moving toward 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?”
The summary card is the Lovers, the gift of healing. What a beautiful gift you have been given, W.B. 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. Good luck, W.B.
Does this make sense? I hope it was helpful.
