Hi kind soul! Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy with a lot of life stuff lately, but I logged on and saw your ask, so I figured I should do a spread for you!

Anyway, let's get into it.

I first drew the King of Pentacles Reversed and Temperance Upright. These are two very interesting cards to pull at once as the King reversed implies someone who is greedy or only concerned with outward appearances but Temperance suggests a person who doesn't care what others think. Perhaps the King is how you are perceived and Temperance is the reality behind that façade.

I then asked the deck for one more card and it gave me three: The Empress Upright, the Three of Pentacles Reversed, and the Page of Cups Reversed. The Empress often stands for the divine feminine and while I don't know what your gender is, it's possible this is how you are seen, although from this spread, I'm getting something of a motherly figure in your life who is specifically having these views of you. There seems to be a lot of competition and conflict going on in your life, and while other evidence may point to the contrary, you appear (or are painted) to be the one at the center of that conflict. I can see you as the Page of Cups here, someone who is living for others and focusing on how others see you. Especially with the message of the Empress also carrying the meaning of intuition, I think the answer is to look within to figure out how you want to be perceived and then to live as though you are perceived that way and act as Temperance would and ignore those who would push a different persona onto you.

Hello kind souls! I'm back for another weekly tarot reading! I pull some cards for the overall theme of the week and then pull a card (or cards depending on what comes out of the deck) for the beginning, middle, and end of the week.

The overall theme of the week is shown by the Five of Wands reversed, the King of Wands upright, and the Queen of Wands upright. The Five brings in ideas of conflict, the King brings in leadership, and the Queen brings in determination, but all of them, being part of the suit of Wands, deal with passion and willpower. You may see yourself in some conflict this week, but you should meet that conflict head on with stride, determination, and confidence.

The beginning of the week brings us the Seven of Cups upright and the Devil upright. It seems like you might be looking for your purpose in the materialistic sides of life, but you likely won't find it there. There's something holding you to these choices and daydreams but the cards are advising you to do some work to and figure out if you need to break free of that something and if so, the way to do it.

The middle of the week brings us the Ten of Cups upright. This is the wish fulfillment card where your dreams are coming true. If you've been manifesting something recently, you may find that some of it will start to turn your way in the middle of the week.

The end of the week finally brings us the Empress upright and the Knight of Pentacles upright. With these dreams coming true and these wishes being fulfilled from the Ten of Cups in the middle of the week, we now need to take time to work hard and nurture our success because we're not done just yet. Perhaps you should work on your intuition, or use your intuition more at this time.

Hello kind souls! I'm back with another weekly tarot reading! As always, I ask for some weekly theme cards and then a card (or two) for the beginning, middle, and end of the week.

When I asked the cards for the overall theme of this week, three cards jumped out instead of the two that I usually pull. These cards were Judgement in reverse, the Ten of Cups upright, and the Four of Swords upright. It seems that you might have been doubting yourself or your abilities in the past. However, this week will bring you some comfort with the Ten of Cups bringing some emotional fulfillment and happiness and the Four of Swords bringing rest and contemplation.

For the beginning of the week, we have the Queen of Swords upright. This card depicts a strong, independent woman who isn't afraid to take the honest, objective truth into mind when making her decisions. The cards are advising you to act like the Queen of Swords here.

In the middle of the week, we have two cards: the Ace of Cups reversed and the Knight of Wands reversed. These cards seem to be indicating some kind of insecurity in either your creative endeavors or your emotional life (whether that be romantic relationships or otherwise). You've gained a sort of impulse towards it that really hasn't let up, but that has made you make some reckless decisions in the past that you need to be careful of going forward. Don't fall into that Judgement in reverse idea from the overall theme of the week and move towards that Ten of Cups energy.

The end of the week finally brings us the King of Wands upright and the Six of Wands upright. It seems like your hard work has paid off with looking at the bigger picture and seeing the forest for the trees. You've been able to make decisions objectively and decisively throughout the week and now you've reached a point of public renown; some kind of public reward and success will greet you at this time.

Hello kind souls! Excuse me for not posting a weekly tarot reading last week, I had a lot of things going on last Sunday and couldn't get a tarot reading out. But here I am today and I am back with another tarot reading!

For the overall weekly theme, we have the Eight of Cups reversed and the Five of Wands upright. Perhaps you've been avoiding some kind of change in your life that you need or perhaps you've just found yourself in a state of monotony; everything is the same as the last day is the same as the next day. This seems to be causing some conflict in your life, and it might be a type of conflict you aren't used to. This conflict is a way for you to better yourself this week through challenge, so the cards advise you to take it in stride.

The beginning of the week is represented by the Two of Cups upright. This card stands for a partnership of sorts, whether or not it is born out of a romantic relationship. You may be greeted with the opportunity to form such a partnership this week or perhaps there is one that you are already in that needs to be focused on this week. Take some time to think of your friends, your family, perhaps also your business partners, and, if you have any, your romantic partners and see if the relationship needs some focus this week.

The middle of the week is represented by the Four of Pentacles reversed. The Four of Pentacles counsels us in its reversed form to avoid becoming stingy with our material possessions. Get a hold on your time schedule and do some time management to sort things out. Go see an accountant (an actual accountant) and sort out your finances. Get a budget together. Spend some money on others. The middle of the week will show us this lesson at its highest intensity.

The end of the week is represented by the Eight of Pentacles reversed. When it is in its upright position, the Eight of Pentacles signifies that it is time to get to work and focus on whatever tasks you might have at hand. Since this is the suit of Pentacles, it refers to material things such as your time (spend your time with diligence), your money (working hard to attain financial independence), or your work ethic (this one is self-explanatory). However since it is reversed, that indicates that all of these tasks are to be more difficult for you at this time. Take some time to assess your workload, offset what you cannot do in the time allotted, and take care of what is in your control.

Hello kind souls! I'm back with another weekly tarot reading! I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's Samhain reading! Anyways, onto this week's reading.

For the overall theme of the week, we have the Seven of Swords upright and the Sun upright. The Seven of Swords depicts a man carrying five swords with the remaining two in front of a castle and signifies some kind of deception or trickery going on. The suit of the swords themselves represents knowledge and intelligence, so be on the lookout this week for anyone trying to play tricks on you. We also have the Sun which brings joy, success, and positivity for this first week of November.

On the beginning of the week, we have the Four of Pentacles reversed. We might be starting off here on an unstable footing here at the beginning of the week as the Four of Pentacles usually signifies stability in the material whereas its reversed aspects imply instability and lack of structure.

Building on that, and in time with the overall Seven of Swords card pulled earlier, we have the Moon upright for the middle of the week. The tarot is asking us to lean into our intuition, perhaps not as much as the Empress might hold, but intuition nonetheless. There could perhaps be some illusion in your life that you need to or might uncover at this time.

Finally, we have the Lovers upright at the end of the week. The Lovers can mean a lot of different things. It could mean that you might find harmony and make amends with someone at this time. It could mean, in the literal sense, that you might be falling in love with someone or someone is falling in love with you at this time. It could also mean that you have an important decision to make and the cards are calling you to do so with compassion and decisiveness.

Hello kind souls! I know I missed out last week doing a weekly tarot reading, so I'll be making up for it by doing a special Samhain reading today for the collective! (You can still expect me to do a weekly reading tomorrow for the upcoming week) I got this spread from Emerald Lotus Divination.

Firstly, we have the Queen of Swords reversed giving us a representation of what the darker half of the year might hold for us. This Queen reversed represents malicious intent, manipulation, deceit, and spite. This could suggest that people around you might start to trend towards acting negatively towards you, or perhaps that you might start acting that way towards others. A possible third reading of the card is that you might have been manipulated or deceived in the past and this upcoming season is for you to uncover where that is in your life.

Secondly, we have the Page of Swords upright, a message from the ancestors. Ironically enough, the Page of Swords itself represents communication. In any case, the ancestors' message tells us to be alert and watch out for messages that may be sent our way. Another reading of the card could also be that this is now the time to start getting curious about the world around you.

Thirdly, we have the Four of Swords upright which tells us why this message is important for us to hear. The card itself shows the swords hanging on the wall and beneath the bed that the woman in the card is resting upon. Perhaps you've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this message from the Page of Swords to appear in your life that you've been stressing so much and the Four of Swords is here to tell you that the message will come in due time, so rest until action is required.

Fourthly, we have the Page of Cups upright showing how you can protect yourself from negative energy. The Page of Cups is all about idealism and dreaming in how it portrays the Page holding a cup with fish inside of it evoking the surreal aspects of the card itself. The Page is signaling to us to keep our heads up, imagine what could be instead of murking about in what is, and to listen to your inner child.

Fifth and finally, we have the King of Pentacles in reverse, a card that represents a shadow part of yourself that is calling you to explore it. Perhaps you've been making poor financial decisions in the past. Perhaps you've been wasting your time, your money, or your energy (the suit of the Pentacles doesn't just refer to finances after all). The cards are calling you to explore those poor decisions to see what you could do better in the future or to figure out how to better spend your time, money, or energy.

Hello kind souls! I'm back to give you another weekly tarot reading!

This week, I pulled the Nine of Cups upright and the King of Pentacles reversed for the overall themes of this week. Perhaps you haven't been having the best time recently. However, the Nine comes to us and brings well wishes. You may achieve satisfaction or recognition, however, don't get wrapped up in the Nine's well wishes as the King of Pentacles comes in its reversed form to tell us that our definition of success may be fully focused on the outward appearance and not any valuable measure of success. Celebrate, surely, but be careful to discern whether or not you have succeeded in what you have done or you have simply appeared to do so.

For the beginning of the week, we have the Page of Wands reversed. The Page warns of making hasty and impulsive decisions at the beginning of this week.

The middle of the week brings us the Six of Wands upright. In the middle of the week, we get to see some of that Nine of Cups energy that I mentioned in the overall themes section. Here is where you might see victories, successes, and acclaim come into your life this week. Greet it with joy.

We are then greeted by the Ace of Wands upright at the end of the week. The Aces of the tarot represent beginnings and the Ace of Wands in particular represents a creative beginning. You may be itching to start a new project at this time. Or perhaps you might be learning to find your own voice. The Ace of Wands is encouraging you to go for it.

This week's Shadow Card (i.e. the card that represents something we may be ignoring, something that may be hidden about the week, or something we may need to focus on as the week progresses) is the Two of Cups upright. The Two of Cups represents partnership. There might be a relationship of yours that--whether platonic, romantic, or some other kind of relationship--you might be ignoring or putting on the backburner. The Two of Cups is advising that you spend some time connecting with these people in your life.

Hello kind souls! Welcome back to another weekly tarot reading from the Queer Hellene Witch, Asa. Each Sunday, I draw two cards to describe the overall theme of the week and then one card each for the beginning, middle, and end of the week.

The overall theme of the week brings us the Seven of Wands upright and the Queen of Cups upright. The perseverance of the Seven and the healing and intuition of the Queen combine together this week to empower you to seek inward and persevere on your path towards inner peace and healing. Listen to your intuition this week as you fight for yourself and stand up for yourself.

The Page of Pentacles reversed greets us at the beginning of the week. The Page of Pentacles is all about ambition and achieving your goals when upright, however its reversed variant tells us that there is some lack of focus at the beginning of the week. You should take some time either today or tomorrow to give yourself a break and tune yourself into the theme of the week. Perhaps some meditation on this would help.

The middle of the week brings the Eight of Swords upright. I love the imagery of the Eight of Swords particularly because it shows the eight swords surrounding a person wrapped in rope and blindfolded. The Eight reminds us to continue to persevere through the week as a lot of these bindings are of our own making. You have the power to take off the blindfold and to undo the rope and to step away from the swords.

As we push forward to the end of the week, we see the Nine of Swords reversed. Perhaps as a result of the Eight of Swords showing us these bindings around us that we put in place, we have some past trauma being dug up. The Nine of Swords reversed suggests that you find help in others, perhaps through therapy as I will always recommend professional help from a therapist or perhaps simply through reaching out to a friend for help or advice on an issue you've been struggling with.

I decided to do something new this week and peek at the bottom card of the deck. The bottom card is often called The Shadow and represents something that the querent (the person the reading is for) is ignoring or might need to fix through shadow work. This week's Shadow is the Five of Wands upright. The Five of Wands is all about conflict and seeing as this is the Shadow and looking at all of the other cards in the spread, this does make some sense. You might be ignoring some struggle in your life this week. Again, seek the weekly theme and look inward to find inner peace and healing.

Hello kind souls! I'm back with another weekly tarot reading!

Overall for the week, we have The Devil reversed and Temperance upright. It seems that the theme of this week is finding meaning and peace and breaking ourselves free from the things that bind us. However, Temperance says that one must be patient as these things take time.

In the beginning of the week, we see the Seven of Wands upright. It seems that you might be in the middle of a struggle to maintain your position, whether or not that's your job, a relationship in your life (romantic or otherwise), or protecting yourself financially. No matter what's challenging your position, the Seven of Wands is reminding you to hold your ground.

The middle of the week brings us to The Hanged Man upright. In order to move forward, there may be things you will have to sacrifice. There's this wall in the middle of the week that, as a calculated step toward that which will bring you fulfillment and happiness, you will need to give something up to get past. This may be a habit or some kind of action. Of course, you may also need to wait to see what will happen as that is the overall meaning of this card. Taking action may not always be the correct answer to a problem.

Finally, the end of the week gives us Justice upright. At the end of this struggle of the Seven of Wands at the beginning of the week and either giving something up or inaction suggested by The Hanged Man in the middle of the week, the end of the week's Justice says that truth will come to light. If you have been wronged, take heart as justice will come to those who have wronged you. However, if you have wronged someone, take this card as a warning to change your actions before an account of your actions is called forth.

Hey everyone! I'm back doing weekly readings for y'all! I won't be doing daily readings, but I will be doing these weekly readings. I'll also still be down for doing personal and private readings like I have been (in asks and DMs that is). In any case, onto this week's reading.

Overall, the week brings in the Seven of Wands in reverse. It seems as though this is a time of overwhelm. You could also be feeling quite judged by family and friends (or also complete strangers and just in general). But then comes the Page of Wands in reverse. The Page being in reverse shows that you may have started many projects without completing any of them (a sentiment to which I can definitely relate). The Page comes to us this week to remind us that in our state of overwhelm and judgement, we should decide which of our projects are meaningful and worthwhile to invest in and which to put on the backburner.

In the beginning of the week, we have the King of Wands upright. You'll be met with some challenges this week, but the King of Wands is here to remind you that you are able to withstand these challenges. You are extremely capable and can overcome any obstacle in front of you.

At the middle, we have the Six of Wands upright. After going through these challenges at the beginning of the week, the middle of the week will bring success, specifically public success and victory. However, don't go too overboard with celebrating your successes and be wary of going too far into the ego.

Finally, the end of the week brings the Ten of Wands in reverse. It seems that you may have some things that are in your life that you need to Marie Kondo out. Take what serves you and leave what doesn't.

I asked the cards for some wisdom to share with all of you this week. Here is what the cards show.

Two cards jumped out as I was shuffling for this week. This week's jump cards are The Sun and The World.

The Sun represents success and abundance. The Sun is showing that you have a large amount of earned confidence right now. Life is going well for you, or if it hasn't, this week things will start to turn for the positive. The Sun brings nothing but good vibes and fulfillment.

The World represents great unity and wholeness. It signifies a moment when the self has found a synchronicity with the world. Some may call this enlightenment or nirvana. All of the efforts you have been putting in are going to pay off this week.

Today's spread is the High Priestess and the Two of Pentacles.

The High Priestess represents inner knowledge. She is symbolic of someone who uses their intuition and is beginning to open up their spirituality. The Priestess is wont to meditate and prayer often. She counsels you to search inward for the answers that you seek today as you will not find your answers outside of yourself.

The Two of Pentacles represents balance. There are two major factors at play in your life and you are likely very concerned about them both. The Two of Pentacles would counsel you to step back and concentrate on these two factors. The High Priestess above would chime in and say that you should meditate on these factors and search inward for your answers as to how to proceed.

Today's spread is The Fool and the Nine of Swords.

The Fool represents beginnings. His number is 0 and as such signifies a blank slate. There is a journey that will begin today and will take you throughout this week to complete (and you will complete it given the pulling of the World card for the entire week). The Fool approaches each day as an adventure. Anything can happen today and you should take whatever happens in stride.

The Nine of Swords is associated often with anxiety. This card can often represent trauma in our lives, often trauma that we have repeatedly lived through. This trauma may be shameful for you to live through and as such, it may be difficult for you to share your experiences of this trauma with others. Taken with the Fool above, you should take this week as a blank slate and while you can't pretend like your trauma never happened, you should instead see this week as a new chapter. You are beginning a new journey and all of your trauma is in the past; you should not forget it but you should not let it define who you are.

I asked the cards for some wisdom this week, and this is what the cards have revealed.

The deck gave me two cards that jumped out this week. For our jump cards, we have The Fool and the Knight of Pentacles.

The Fool represents a blank slate as he has yet to develop a clear personality. He brings tidings of a new journey filled with optimism. The Fool advises you to listen to your risk-taking side. Take whatever comes at you this week in stride with joy.

The Knight of Pentacles represents daily tasks that one must perform in order to get through a project. There is some kind of need to be trustworthy and reliable this week.

Today's spread is the Six of Cups and the Six of Swords.

The Six of Cups represents nostalgia. It could be that perhaps you are returning to a place from you childhood or from your past today. Although you may be looking to the past, the Six of Cups advises you not to live in it. Look for wisdom, and leave the memories to stay as memories.

The Six of Swords represents an unhappy transition of some kind. Taken with the Six of Cups above, perhaps you may be moving out of your childhood home. Or perhaps you might encounter a past relationship today that didn't end so well. The Six of Swords reminds us that while the past is set and we can't change it, the best thing we can do is to move on and begin healing.

Today's spread is the Two of Pentacles and the Page of Swords.

The Two of Pentacles is all about balance. This can mean keeping your finances in balance and maintaining a budget. It can also mean keeping various projects at work in balance and juggling your responsibilities among them. It can also mean balancing your relationships and juggling the time you spend between a significant other, your friends, and your family. The Two of Pentacles is counseling you to focus on that balance and to make sure that it stays in balance.

The Page of Swords represents communication and mental agility. The Page of Swords is someone who never runs out of ideas and can always come up with something off the cuff. This card is advising you to talk about ideas, whether they be yours or someone else's, provided the conversation be constructive and not destructive.
