Today, in Sunny Souls, I shared a talk on finding out where to go next with your magic path; how to find the niche which is right for you at the moment. Later, there will be a tarot spread posted on this topic also. However, it’s not always easy to really understand what tarot is telling you in those regards. So, I put together this handy little post on what possible cards may symbolise.

SUITS

CUPS are a sign of healing, creation and dreams, which can point to manifestation, working with emotions-based magic or divination, or exploring creative outlets. They may also be telling you to investigate what symbolism exist in your dreams. They are also the suit of WATER meaning it can show us water-based magic or veneration of water-related deities and spirits.

PENTACLES are a sign of possession, progression, and education. They are speaking of reading a new book, taking a new course, or making your knowledge tangible. They may be talking about physical forms of magic, like writing sigils or casting spells, or learning more about spirituality through literature and mentors. They represent EARTH which can show becoming one with nature, learning about earthen spirits, or veneration of nature deities.

SWORDS are all about clarity, the mind, and struggle. They are going to be outlining that now is the time to solidify your view of something; Swords are about fully understanding the bigger picture for all it has to offer, and braving facing your wounds. They can be a call to research what you don’t understand, to shadow work, or to uncomfortable healing. Their representation of AIR tells us that they may be asking us to clear our minds, or to look to sky-related beings and entities.

WANDS are about fiery desires, energy, and recognition. They could be telling you to invest time in energy work, cleansing, charging, or sharing your knowledge. They may be pointing out to doing energy-based spell work through your mind, a literal wand, or other means. Being the suit of FIRE they can also be a sign to consider lighting a candle, investigating the inner self, or working with a fire-related entity.

NUMBERS AND COURT CARDS

1 in the minor arcana symbolises starting a new path; it could be time to venture into something you’ve never done before.

2 shows union and planning, which may be a sign this is a piece of work you have to find support for - physical or divine.

3 is a sign of creation and opportunity, which is telling you to create the area of magic you wish to focus on for yourself, e.g. experiment with new sigil ideas.

4 symbolises security, so this is something to become comfortable in, possibly via practicing or solidifying your knowledge.

5 shows discomfort in the respective area, and may show a need for a form hf healing or cleansing.
