process of becoming. Chance for humanizing and to see the potential for
immortality, which can lift the human love to a higher and more spiritual level.
Negative: A regretted one-night stand.
Two of Swords
An idea communicated to another, awaiting response or proposition. A new contact
with possibilities, with excitement, interest and uncertainty - a desired
movement strength gained from change. It can also be a conflict of opposing
principles, a created standstill, a state of tension which demands a choice of
some kind. The unpleasant reality must be faced, the conformity, the fight in
suspense, the mistrust needs balance and inner peace.

accepted and shared and then it is a spiritual union with another. The healing
power of true unselfish love. New dimension of life is unfolding, the feeling of
joy and promise, birth of a child. This is a transition card heralding further
developments. Enjoy it while you can.
Negative: Receiving envy.
Three of Swords
It is the conflict of the two, consequences of human choice, resentments, pain
from separation or heartbreak. There is discord, struggle, doubt and sorrow and
out of mind-chaos it is heavy, dark and one is lonely and thinks danger comes
from outside. This destructive step from the two leads toward creative
separation and with the relief when poison comes out healing is possible.
Negative: "Know it all", personality attacks blindness, secrecy,
perversion.
Three of Pentacles
The seeds lead to potential further growth and the first success on the road of
material ambitions and experience due to perseverance. Celebrate the outcome,
the new opportunities that occur as a result of present achievements.
Establishment of the idea of the universe. Work of a physical or constructional
nature brings perfection. But it needs hard work and quarrel to strengthen a
position and make it permanent and risk before one can count oneself materially
secure. Also seeing one's own limits and consequences, see your capacity, use
your business skills, work on your character to handle the future.
Negative: Overindulgence, conceit.
Four of Wands
Friends of strength and creative vision and deep feeling and clever mind brought
you here. It is a solid base and benefits are already evident. It is a time of
reward for efforts made. This domestic fire is a constant and active energy. One
finds security and confidence in creative abilities, friendship and strong ties.
So we have open opportunity or closed security. Beauty and harmony is the ideal
and everyone wants to have a good taste, but this is narrow-minded and leads to
stubbornness or to look for something objective.
Negative: Exclusivity, snobbery.
Four of Cups
This is a card for care, tenderness, for pleasure and emotional wealth.
Confidence to deal with everyday emotional situations and the conventional
ability to sense sympathetically other people's feelings. But one can call it
also control of feelings, a blissful state of ignorance and so abandonment
brings new desires. Out of unheard panic screams a conventional emotional
security within a long-term relationship becomes discontented and there is
sadness and suspicion. It contents a shadow side which forces us to explore more
deeply and demand more honesty in our emotional dealings with others.
Negative: Becoming accustomed, motionless, depression.
Four of Swords
A quiet time of withdrawal and contemplation, a period of introversion and
reflection, of emotional recuperation after the outbreak of conflict in the
Three. It means accept solitude and rest from sorrow so peace of mind and
liberation can happen. Here we have conventional thinking, being confident that
one's traditional approach will resolve all demanding situations. Dogma, law,
truce and compromise for social harmony.
Negative: Isolation, prison, loneliness, rigidity and conformity of mind,
inflexible views and ideas, bigotry.
Four of Pentacles
Achievement of financial and material security. Being established and successful
in one's career or ambitions. The manifestation of self-worth through material
values. This character has integrity and confidence, claims his own territory,
house and property and maintains his comfort and position in life. This earthly
power stands for authority and vigilance, for wealth, investments, profit. It is
a flow of material resources and competitive challenge in a creative way.
Negative: Stagnation, greed, anger, fear of letting go, control of the body,
block of self-expression.
Five of Wands
The battle with the dragon, where the creative vision has collided with earthly
reality - the primitive power - is now rebellion for change. Sometimes one is
being forced into a new situation or it is a challenge from an unexpected
source. This irrational energy brings trouble on the concrete level and asks to
use instincts and intuition, the feeling of how the laws of material world
operate. Compromises must be made while still retaining the integrity of the
original vision. This means strife and this show-fight is a challenge to express
power of creative imagination.
Negative: Violence, cruelty, fear of failure, deep apathy, resisting change.
Five of Cups
This unexpected emotional experience brings disappointment, disturbance of ease,
misunderstanding and contradictions. Being forced through outside circumstances
to reassess one's feelings it can be a problematic relationship or a betrayal as
a necessary and potentially creative experience. This provoking inevitable
conflict brings sadness. Remorse and separation can occur but its not a final
ending. Something remains which can be faced and worked on, take up the
challenge and make the commitment to the future.
Negative: Giving up to fate by refusing to deal with reality.
Five of Swords
A change of ideas or plans becomes unavoidable. Being forced by circumstances to
see things from a different angle. Cause here we have defeat, loss, torments,
corruption, treachery and a lack of understanding. It is better to accept these
limitations and face one's own inner laws, own believes and also the
capabilities to deal with poverty and anxiety. The mind has reached the impasse
and tries to come out of it by brainstorm.
Negative: Mental panic, refusal to face the inevitable, fear, complaining, false
pride, cowardice.
Five of Pentacles
Here we have loss, financial loss or loss of faith in oneself, cause of
confusion of self-value with material security. It forces a let go, because if
material disaster comes then perhaps it is in some way necessary and the
inevitable outgrowth of a wrong or inappropriate attitude. Disadvantages and
temporary economic crisis leads to transformation of the inner individual
towards material success with a more solid inner center which can cope with the
challenges which success brings. Prepare to begin again and move from a position
of security to the unknown.
Negative: Worry, heavy, slow, obstinate.
Six of Wands
Victory, triumph - a clear break through - cause of combination of power, the
balance of masculine and feminine qualities. The pleasure of receiving
recognition for one's achievements or some piece of creative work. Also
satisfaction and confidence in one's abilities and promotion after dedicated
work. Action and consciousness has taken form and is a benediction to harmony
and beauty. With this ecstasy we reach a sensation of eternity beyond the body.
Gate of initiation.
Negative: Using one's reputation to bully and domineer others.
Six of Cups
Discovering of unconditional love, the love for everything This true love allows
the harmonious uniting of the conscious and the unconscious, the masculine and
the feminine. Initiating energy together with receptivity can make it happen,
the evolution, birth, life and death. At peace with yourself love has become
reality, thus you have something to build upon. And after a tense period there
is relief of emotional calm, some effortlessness and satisfaction, the positive
turn towards the goal. The dream is experienced as still possible and is even
near achievement.
Negative: Living in a dream, escapism.
Six of Swords
Moving away from turbulent, difficult feelings toward a calmer and more serene
state - the tranquil mind, the learning intellect, successful mental activity.
With openness cognition's come and one has the power to persuade others or to
give information. Dignity and self-respect help to balance mental and moral
faculties and lead towards a calm peaceful passage. Seeing and understanding,
psychology, science, intelligence balanced by humanity. The pleasure of travel,
of broadening horizons both mentally and physically.
Negative: Using smooth talk to deceive and manipulate.
Six of Pentacles
Life's generosity arises from within the individual himself or herself. It is
harvest and celebration of one's good luck and fortune. Give without conditions,
life doesn't judge like society. It is giving and taking and enjoying the
sensual pleasure of life, abundance, fertility and health. Also small earnings,
balance between debit and credit, money or substance to be shared, restoration
through the generosity or charity of others, renewal of faith and success.
Negative: Overindulgence, exaggerated.
Seven of Wands
The imagination itself to create new better forms comes with sudden movement
with extraordinary effort. The spirit of thunder stimulates visions, a test of
one's faith in oneself. The individual is challenged to improve upon and develop
his or her project in the face of an envious and competitive world and needs to
learn to value ambition and competitive instinct. Rebellion and sudden freedom
needs no compromises, it needs valor, bravery and departure from normal behavior
in order to carry out the deed, the outrageously new.
Negative: Struggle with other people's creative ideas, stiff competition.
Seven of Cups
Emotional situation where many potentials are evident, but where the individual
is faced with the challenge of choosing and acting in realistic terms to make
those potentials manifest. Otherwise he or she can't bear this constant
movement, travel and endless repetition and falls as a victim into frustration,
into dreams, illusions and hopes. It needs inner commitment achieving a deep
realization of our true feelings to find love again. As a charmer or femme
fatale one takes an emotional risk and accepts the limitations of reality, needs
patience, faith and perseverance.
Negative: Internal corruption, stagnation, bog, using and manipulating the
emotions of others for personal gain.
Seven of Swords
Represents the application of mental energy in a cautious, wily and diplomatic
way in order to gain the end desire. But one cannot be sure of the rightness or
moral integrity of the goal and the mind can be cold and manipulative. Live may
require us to develop such attributes like politicians and priests have, even if
our nature dislike such obvious cunning. When we loose our ambition through
weakness of will we fight difficulties, compromise and betrayal, unintentional
or otherwise, we are restless and destructive. All this is about to take a risk
in order to get out of a boring situation, regardless of the consequences.
Negative: Opposing convention just to draw attention to oneself.
Seven of Pentacles
Urge to break out and try something new where the outcome is not guaranteed.
Taking a considered risk with property or finance. The gambler takes failure,
hard work and unfulfilled success for progress and ripening. The problem is
weather or not to take the new opportunity and risk losing all that has been
built, or to put energy into a new project or enterprise. In order to achieve
care and forethought are needed.
Negative: Danger of stagnation, misfortune, lack of vitality, unorthodox
behavior for effect.
Eight of Wands
Release of creative energy after the anxieties and struggles of the seven have
been overcome. You can see conflict stimulates the imagination, it is an
eruption of new visions, vibrant energy like light and electricity. Through
active imagination, enthusiasm and swiftness but also through hard work
accomplishment will happen, the motion brings insights and confidence
constituting matter. Suddenly the born artist comes up, the painter, writer,
actor and musician with fruitful creative activity - an accomplishment of the
competitive instincts. He is enjoying a position of prominence, fame and esteem.
Negative: Being trapped by your own reputation, violent but not lasting.
Eight of Cups
This card is about having the emotional strength to withdraw and find inner
truth, to have good feelings about oneself and one's values, even if there is
shyness, shame, innocence and uncertainty. This inhibition brings a slowing
down, discipline and new consideration; the entry to new emotional expression.
Like the duality of day and night we understand the duality of love and hate and
can let go of past hope in resignation and sadness so this opens up a
transformation of our old attitudes. It is acceptance of an ending and bowing
down towards the will of the divine. With this submission to that which is
greater, death and transformation can happen, out of depression and mourning we
go empty-handed into the unknown.
Negative: Indolence, cold self-interest and detachment, blackmail the partner in
the hope of a response.
Eight of Swords
The long past of avoidance, of inferiority complex and overestimation leads
towards a situation of duplicity and interference. It is a portrait of painful
conscience of one's own part in creating the present mess, a situation of
bondage through fear and therefore it is a shock. We must respect responsibility
and try to understand what we truly want and act once and for all. This enforces
a strong willpower and logical thinking, authority and optimism. With mental
brilliance we take the probable consequences of any choice and then it is too
late to regret even if there is again fear of confrontation to avoid hurting and
again there is manipulation...
Negative: Anguish caused by too much reflection, incapable to act because of
fear of the consequences, dullness, manic-depressive.
Eight of Pentacles
Enthusiastic spirit of dedication and one-pointed energy of new venture after
the period of "mind-life-crisis". It is about acquiring a new skill
and individual talent which has recently discovered and is worthy of development
and effort. Tenacity, self-discipline, prudence, and creativity are followed by
expansion, security of material success and achievement, the reward after hard
work. This establishment of matter, skills and abilities is a celebration of
gifts, the inner and outer wealth.
Negative: Isolation through being in a position of power, delusions.
Nine of Wands
Here we have tremendous power of the creative imagination and with this the
final struggle before the goal is reached. The creative spirit in human beings
cannot be controlled or bent to our will, it is a force that cannot be shaken,
it is our strength and stability. Our vitality, radiance and light. The
happiness and joy of being honest to oneself, the will to live is at the same
time the ability to inspire others. Although it is a state of exhaustion - take
this final challenge - you are almost home. With hope and being open to
knowledge you can complete this journey. A mystery comes up, detachment of the
psyche, understanding is happening.
Negative: Cruelty through extreme egoistically self-detachment.
Nine of Cups
With understanding and forgiveness there is an ecstatic moment of fulfillment,
the power of unconditional love, the benediction. Great mother in all her
aspects, protecting, caring and unselfish, the deep joy of overflowing love.
Also the support that a close, loving family can give and share. A time of
pleasure and satisfaction and the fulfillment of a cherished wish. The psyche is
rescued from the darkness of the underworld with inner commitment of the only
mortal and loyalty of own feelings, a second meeting of real marriage is
possible - the inner and outer union.
Negative: Over-possessive love.
Nine of Swords
This is the experience of great fear and anxiety, a nightmare where the sheer
power of fantasy is frightening and painful. And then there are guilt feelings
because of destructive fantasies and expectations of terrible future outcome.
This self punishment includes the fear that a loved one will reject us, or die,
or leave us for another, terror of loneliness, illness or isolated old age. The
frightening visions are also about financial catastrophe or loss or the collapse
of a creative project - the break down is endless cause we believe in misfortune
and despair, we are enslaved by them. This fanaticism leads towards passion and
sacrifice and transforming thinking, the ability to present a meaningful
philosophy, it becomes worship of something higher - the enlightenment.
Negative: Agony.
Nine of Pentacles
This card is all about pleasure and power of attraction, of finding a deep and
permanent sense of self-value, a solid identity with unique abilities, to be in
a position to enthuse and excite others. It includes good management and success
in material matters, it is gain but more than worldly achievement. This
satisfaction is dependent upon nothing and no one outside oneself. It is also
solitary enjoyment, encounters during journeys, pleasure in self-sufficiency and
accomplishment and sharing the magnetic power of one's wealth or abilities.
Negative: Phlegmatic, manipulating, attracting "hangers on".
Ten of Wands
Now it can happen that the individual clings too tightly to the form he has
built and is trapped under the weight of worldly responsibilities. The
excitement has vanished and alternates with boredom and depression. This card
indicates all dualities and opposites. And the state of oppression, new
obstacles, difficult engagements and exhaustion can no longer function;
imagination must have fresh stimulation to awaken again with a new idea, a new
goal and a new gamble. The cycle may begin again.
Negative: Resisting the inevitable can lead to becoming a victim.
Ten of Cups
This is the end of a phase in one's emotional life. The dual potential of poison
and healing are coming together to enjoy the fruits, the life. Emotions
suppressed for a long time can no longer be denied, with a second sight
self-knowledge will bring honesty and humility, peace and satiety. The cup is
overflowing, this deep love is the union with the divine. Loving another person
opens the heart to love life itself, life has meaning and purpose and a larger,
brighter world appears before one's vision - the connection with our own soul.
Here comes ecstasy of the reunion of the lovers, conscious union of two loving
but separate partners. It is an immortal status, not only personal and sensual
dimension but a spiritual one as well.
Negative: Money, sex, alcohol or drugs as an escape, rigid, delay the inevitable
crises.
Ten of Swords
A final ending, it may be painful, but at last the situation is faced
truthfully. Disillusionment and disappointment seems like a death but free us
from past older than ourselves. War, corruption, collapse and sorrow bring
mental desperation through being trapped in a system in which one can no longer
believe. The judgment brings reflection and clarity, tranquillity and
transformation. Suddenly we see the broken heart, the fear of madness and
destructiveness, energy of accumulated anger - all our negative thinking. This
shows us the cycle of birth and death of ideas and a new perception can start.
Negative: Discomfort, Out of control.
Ten of Pentacles
Wealth - inside and outside and the ability to pass it on. This may be a
material inheritance of wealth or property or it may be an artistic achievement.
On the other side the world is upside-down with inhibition and one has to take
all consequences of life, there is futility of material gain, unless put to good
use. See yourself, show yourself and use what's there, give it, spent it for the
potential to sense the reality. Family, inheritance, economic welfare and having
fun together means a period of ongoing contentment and security, a sense of
something permanent having been established. This is a worldly ambition of
deeper value, the immortality lies in the imagination, in the experience of
love, in the divine power of the mind and in the experience of growth.
Negative: Hanging on to what is already lost, because of fear of the unknown.
Knight of Wands
He has the role as a messenger because he is too young to possess a character. Going on a journey to develop the exuberant and adventurous qualities, always in motion, perpetually seeking new challenges, immensely imaginative and creative he is the first to take up a new idea, a new fashion or a new lifestyle. He needs excitement and attention and an occupation just for the time. This trustworthy friend has the energy to devote to organizing projects, he is good at getting a team going and works with ferocity on his inventiveness.
Negative: A pushy and exhausting workaholic.
Knight of Cups
Here comes the image of the true romantic and poetic spirit, the worshipper of
love who is the defender of perfect love, which ultimately exists only in the
spirit. But anyhow it is time for the individual to experience the sensitive
dimension of love, he falls in love and there can be also a marriage. But he
still idealizes the mother, his first love and seeking the ultimate experience
of holy love and mere bodily satisfaction does not interest him. With his
receptivity he is intuitive and even clairvoyant, but at the same time highly
impressionable, still subject to crazes and passions, emotionally naive and
vulnerable. It is an initiation and the awakening of sexuality. Be ready for
enchantment.
Negative: Lonely and exploited.
Knight of Swords
It is time for the individual to be prepared for sudden changes; a new idea or vision erupts from within oneself. And the ability to move with this turbulence shows firmness, resoluteness and responsibility. A man who uses mental power and its duality or duplicity throws the old order into chaos, he needs constant mental stimuli in order to avoid becoming bored. This brings conflict and movement and going new ways means often breaking the heart of the beloved. But one cannot spend too long feeling guilty about who might be hurt when the mind abruptly turns and moves in a new directions. Right now victory over moods, communication, exchange of ideas or travel are important and lead to clarity and a broader vision of life.
Negative: Merciless, self-destruction, victim of his own ideas or gossip, critical and tactless.
Knight of Pentacles
A person who enjoys luxury, the arts of healing and prophecy and good living. It is an opportunity to learn more about this side of oneself through the catalyst of another, to handle finance and practical matters with ease and good humor. This message can mean a background of stability and security to live the sensual vital energetic pleasure and physical love. It is the industrious and versatile dimension in motion and the perfected art in hunting. He or she is a friend of animals, has a sense of form, of artistic success and likes to travel.
Negative: Interfering, over-organizing.
Queen of Wands
This is an imaginative and magnetic woman with tireless energy to rule her own
world in her own right. She is a self-confident and strong-willed individual,
devotes her qualities to those few things to which she has given her heart. Also
versatile, positive and caring in her actions and choices, she has the desire to
become a public figure, with a good feeling for public taste she can be direct
and tranquil to share her vision of birth and creation.
Negative: Domination, capriciousness, thirst for revenge.
Queen of Cups
Here we meet the feminine beauty, she embodies the hypnotic power of the feminine and is a catalyst for the emergence of deep feelings, which are bottomless. The image of unconscious, of intense passion and fate. As a mystery herself, motivated by her own secret purposes, introverted and magical loves she wholeheartedly or hates. She is both virginal and harlot, a calculator and a victim. A mature woman, caring and loving, has experienced an eventful and emotional life and is consequently sympathetic to the problems of others. She is capable of activating the depths in others and calls action and conflict without doing anything at all.
Negative: Stirs up trouble wherever she goes, defies rational analysis, can live her life through others and neglect her own reality.
Queen of Swords
She is a strong, idealistic and aloof woman, unmarried, widowed or divorced, a successful career woman with competitive qualities, with shrewdness and intelligence. But she is disappointed in love through having too high ideals. Her father wished for a male child and refused to accept her value as a woman. This fight alongside the man is the effort to prove herself and her pride to a father-god who is ultimately always beyond one's reach, for one is never quite good enough simply because one is made of flesh. This identification with the masculine world of the mind brings her emotional frustration and isolation, because she makes herself untouchable.
Negative: Loneliness, perfection against humanity, controlled emotions.
Queen of Pentacles
She represents the feminine strength and sensuality, the image of self-value, it is to learn to sustain and preserve material resources, to have the dignity to bow down to the power of the instincts and acknowledge. With her we come to full expression of ones sensuality, the value of the body and the pleasures which preserve and enrich life. A mature self-sufficient woman who organizes a comfortable home and family, one who takes responsibility willingly. She is generous, pragmatic and for the protection of her own wealth and territory she can destroy just as good as she can create. Happily she gives material help in demanding situations, generous and willing to indulge herself and others if it suits her purposes.
Negative: A slave to her own generosity.
King of Wands
This is a personality which initiates new ideas and sells them to others. With
his spirit of leadership he has a steady power to manifest his visions, he is
outgoing, impulsive and with the element of fire, which symbolizes the creative
imagination, he generates change, he is enthusiastic and has self-confidence. He
is generous and helpful to those he believes they have talent and ability. With
authority and determination he goes for his wisdom and creates life or he
destroys.
Negative: Impatience, bad loser, male chauvinist, selfishness, fanaticism.
King of Cups
A joyous man full of love, fertility and availability, who wants to help and guide others. But he is a performer - he wants to have the role of the priest to teach mysteries, but he is not really trusting himself or others. It is the image of the wounded healer, who through compassion and empathy can heal others yet who cannot heal his own hurt in the realm of the heart. It can be a psychotherapist or a social-worker, who constantly wants to help others and wants to relate, but cannot ultimately achieve the fulfilling relationship, which is so desired. He is a mature man and he is sensitive to the thoughts of others, but he himself never quite relinquishes control.
Negative: He can manipulate people through their emotions.
King of Swords
This card embodies a quality of resolute intellectual leadership which is attractive and dynamic in the world. Also power of attainment, strategy- skills of the human mind, diplomacy, cooperation and capacity to innovate changes on the whole. He also is a persuasive speaker, a catalyst, cool, detached and logical. He is ambitious to dominate others through his own ideas and words. And as a man of principles, although these principles sometimes lack the depth of feeling which might relate to an individual situation rather than a general law, he is a brilliant organizer with high ideals, a clever bargainer who impresses others.
Negative: Manipulates others for his own gain, inner homelessness, a lack of being connected, untrustworthy.
King of Pentacles
The encounter with material ambition and its challenges and rewards can be a productive and healing one. It is success through cleverness, discipline, activity and dynamic, the right qualities of leadership, authority and realism. This unashamed materialist is healthy and strong and he is pride of his achievement for power and recognition in the eyes of others. His need for material security brought him to receive this gift of manifesting creative ideas in the world, together with the radiating sun, the source of energy and creativity. So take up the challenge of worldly things, encounter this material self-confidence and it becomes at the same time a lesson about greed and the let go of material desires - a creation of inner and outer richness.
Negative: Corruption, narrow bigoted chauvinist man, lazy, loneliness, above others.
