Card 1: The present.
This is a moment of victory and success. You've been working hard and you've made it, you won. It is your time at the top, enjoy it while it lasts. Your relationship is successful. If you are single you will enjoy attention and people looking up to you and being interested. In matters of work there will be success and you will gain recognition.
|
The Tower
|
Card 2: The immediate challenge facing you.
You will often pull a difficult card here, which will indicate an obstacle that must be overcome. When you pull a "good" card here, examine it carefully because it will still represent a challenge.
This card is about sudden change that usually comes with great force, like lightning from a clear blue sky. It will change your ways of doing things, what you have hoped and dreamed of, your existing beliefs. In the end you will see that it was for the greater good and what this change really brought you was release, because what you had built up was not very solid, in that case, nothing could shake its grounds, you were trapped in a bad situation without realizing it, this tower is a gift in disguise. In relationships you may get to know things about your partner that really changes your way of looking at your relationship and life together. Your plans and dreams for the life you would share got twist upside down, and it hurts. If you are single your love life may be taking a sudden change of direction, you might have hoped for one partner but it turns out he/she was not who you thought he was. Further down the road when you have met the partner of your dreams you will see that it was for the be. In matters of work, you might not achieve what you have hoped and wanted, you might even loose a job, but if you do, something better is on the way further on.

Card 3: Distant past, foundation.
This card should indicate the root of the subject matter of the question.
This is a hardworking young person who is stable, secure and trustworthy. This person can be more or less a workaholic. He's patient and responsible. This card may indicate a coming or going of a matter concerning job, money, land, home or business. In a relationship this card represent a stable and secure relationship that can become a bit unimaginative and dull in the long run. If you are single you will meet a stable and secure person who you can trust, that is serious.

The Magician
|
Card 4: More recent past, including events.
This will indicate events taking place, not necessarily directly connected to the question. For example, if a love affair going wrong Card 3 would show the root of why it is going wrong, whereas Card 4 will show something that recently happened to reflect this. You could see this as a "check comment" card - a way of seeing that the reading is sound.
This is a card of great power of action and power of our thought. You are independent, confident and determent, things will turn out your way. This is power of a divine sort with no limitations and the magician is ready to use it. A strong will wield this power and can be channel into whatever area that is needed. The magician is also a good healer. You are in control of your own life; you create your life, as you want it.
|
The High Priestess
|
Card 5: The best that can be achieved.
This is directly related to the question. Note that this may not necessarily gel against Card 10 - it depends whether you are able to get the best. However, a negative card here probably means that it is worth cutting your losses rather than putting any more effort into the situation.
The high priestess is in total connection with her higher self and unconscious mind, which makes her a mystery to the outside world. Her truth and knowledge comes from inside and underneath the surface. This card tells advice you to listen to your inner voice and your feelings instead of what other people might say or think. You know what is right for you because you will feel it, sense it; let your intuition guide you. This card often represents a psychic woman who is in connection with the spirit world and higher self. This is a card of none action and inner wisdom, retreat, meditation, spiritual development, seeking advice on a higher level.

The Star
|
Card 6: Immediate Future.
This indicates events in the next few days or week(s). This reading does not cover months.
The star brings hope and it is the first step to recovery, you can look at your future and see the great things you can accomplish. Things were bad but now you look and feel a little bit different because your focus has changed from the negative to the positive things in life and you can now appreciate the good things. You are in connection with your soul and feel your purpose, why you were sent to this earth, you could see the bigger picture, what the universe has installed for you. In a relationship this predicts a sense of hope and you can se a future with this person, long lasting. If you are single you feel good at where you are at and may look forward into meeting your soul mate but understand that you two will meet when the time is right and when you are ready. In matters of work, this signify that you in your job get to use your full potential and talents and it makes you feel that you are in the right place just for you.

The Moon
|
Card 7:Factors or inner feelings affecting the situation.
Compare this against Card 1 in order to understand underlying forces/trends. If there is conflict between them this tends to indicate that the querent is going in the wrong direction.
You might feel lost and confused, it is often the case with this card. You get mixed signals and emotions are heightened. This is not a good time to make any kind of decision or action. This is a dreamlike state and illusions are sure to be seen, don't be fooled. Right now you are not looking at the situation clearly even if you think you are, things are hidden from you. In a relationship this card tells you that you are not looking at your partner and the relationship with your eyes open, your partner may not be totally honest with you, or worse, you are not totally honest with yourself, be careful. If you are single you may dream about how wonderful and nice everything would be with one particular person or any person really, just keep in mind that dreams are not real, they are entertaining, but not real. In matters of work you might be dreaming about the perfect job that does not really exist, this card warns you that you might be far off.

Card 8: External influences.
People, energies or events which will affect the outcome of the question and are beyond your control.
You did not get what you wanted and it hurts bad. But you fail to see that all hope is not lost just yet, it is not over if you look at the positive things in this drama. You did not win, but you did not loose either, you just have not noticed that yet. You probably feel hurt, confused, insecure, disappointed and sad. A relationship did not work out as you thought it would, but it is not over yet, maybe you just need some time to readjust and refocus on what important and what is not. This card tells you not to give up just yet.
|
Seven of Pentacles
|
Card 9: Hopes or fears around the situation.
This may produce a card that confuses us badly. Always bear in mind that hopes and fears are closely intertwined, therefore that which we hope for may also be that which we fear, and so may fail to happen. Sometimes it is useful to draw a second card for clarification after the reading has been laid, and to read the two together.
You might experience some setbacks in your plans and feel disappointed. Your patience will be tested. This called for a time out to decide future direction and to gain some perspective. You need to figure out what you want and need, make future plans and accept that what you are trying to reach will take time and effort, right now it is a slow growth. In a relationship you may be unsure where the relationship is going and what you really want, you are not fully satisfied with the situation. If you are single you will probably question why you are not where you want to be in your love life and future direction. In matters of work you might not reach the success you've hoped for, the progress is slow.

Four of Pentacles
|
Card 10: Final outcome.
This is a fairly self explanatory card. However it is worth saying that if the card comes up somewhat ambiguous, once again it may be worth drawing three extra cards to clarify. These should be interpreted through the lens of Card 10. So if the card drawn is the Tower and we draw the Ace of Cups, Princess of Cups and Four of Cups in a reading about a relationship, the Tower would indicate that it is time to move on. The Ace of Cup suggests that a new relationship is promised with better things ahead. The Princess of Cups brings new love (and possibly pregnancy). The Four of Cups shows deep levels of contentment and happiness, and many options for progress.
You are in need of stability and safety and may be clinging to what you have a little too much. You resist change if you can and don't want to take any risks. Financial gain through hard work and a fear of loosing what you have gained. Material possessions are important. You may be occupied with making your home a place where you can enjoy and relax in. In a relationship this card stands for a need of safety and security, there may not be a lot happening in the relationship and it becomes boring after a while. If you are single you like it as it is, don't take any chances or risks to find a partner. I matters of work there is no change; you keep on going like before.
