TAROT CARDS: THE TOWER Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future.’’ Tryon Edwards DESCRIPTION The Rider-Waite deck illustrates the 16th card as a tower struck by a lightning flash, setting it on fire. Crown on top of the tower represents material authority of man.

Wherever this card shows up in your reading, there is a major turmoil that is forcing you to adapt and change. It can point to repeated mistakes, false ideas or old habits. In any case, the resolution will come from seeing beyond the disruption and facing the facts. In its essence, the Tower is calling you to be open to new ways of thinking and understanding. Even if things seem devastating right now, it is important to remember that today’s failures are tomorrow’s success.

Be cautious of your financial dealings, invest and spend your money wisely as you may be prone to overspending at this time. ​ Health: Moderation is what is advised with this card. You need to first figure out why you gravitate towards unhealthy habits in order to replace them with better, healthier options. And when you decide to indulge, make it an enjoyable occasion rather than a lifestyle. ​ Spirituality: If you wish to reach ultimate fulfillment in your life, you need to unify your material and spiritual needs. Being spiritually aligned does not mean you have to give up on the success and happiness you desire in the material world. We are all humans with basic human needs after all. But the deepest layer of your soul is also where you will discover your true purpose, beliefs and desires so that you can manifest your reality based on the ‘’true’’ you.

TAROT CARDS: THE LOVERS When two souls have finally found each other, there is established between them a union which begins on earth and continues forever in heaven.” Victor Hugo DESCRIPTION Emerging from the heavens, an angel spreads his wings and arms as he is welcoming the woman and man beneath him. Behind the woman there is an apple tree with a snake, and behind the man is a tree of flames. The Lovers card’s theme is union of duality, and the Rider-Waite deck illustrates this with a depiction of Adam and Eve story. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve are exercising the first act of free will – and as we all know, free will always comes with responsibility. The Lovers card most frequently but not exclusively symbolizes harmony, love and cooperation between two people. It is about coming together with another person to pursue a common goal. Romantic or sexual attraction are some examples, but it can also represent a connection that transcends beyond those. In this case we are talking about karmic and soul connections. Any deep and meaningful bond we have with another soul assists us to find our true selves, while teaching us unconditional love and understanding. On a more personal level, the Lovers highlights power of choice. There is usually a profound crossroad to be passed as a next step into the person’s growth. Therefore, the Lovers reminds us that when we are faced with ethical dilemmas such as right or wrong, good or bad, justice or injustice- our choices, actions and values shape our essence of who we are. ​ Number 6 represents balance, love and union. The Lovers Keywords ​ Love Duality Collaboration Choice UPRIGHT REVERSED ​ Disharmony Inner conflict Dilemma Obstacles ​ The Lovers Upright Guidance: The Lovers card points to an important decision or crossroads in your life. It is about blending two opposing forces together in harmony, whether it is people or situations. Ask your intuition to guide you to your highest good. Always strive to be the best version of yourself, even in difficult times. By looking at your life in a big picture, you can understand the greater lesson in this. ​ Love: Whether it indicates strong communication, physical attraction or a soulmate, love is surely present in your life. You are infatuated by one another. Perhaps even though you just met, you feel like you know each other for a long time. Since the card’s general theme is ‘’union of two’’, we can talk about marriage, engagement and new relationships here. ​ Work/Finances: A major decision awaits you. This could be about career change, opening a business or a new partnership. In your environment, the Lovers symbolizes harmonious collaborations and communications. Alternatively, a partnership may be turning into something romantic. In any case, if you are faced with a dilemma at work, evaluate the pros and cons very carefully. Opportunities may present themselves in unexpected ways. ​ Health: The Lovers card solely doesn’t tell much about health matters. However, it is a card about finding balance and, an important choice. Wellbeing starts from the inside out, so don’t forget to pay attention to your emotional health. It is also a good indication of the love and support you are receiving. ​ Spirituality: The Lovers invites you to align yourself with your highest good. Your highest good is your choices and actions that are most aligned with your soul’s purpose, in other words your self-wisdom. When you choose to be the highest version of yourself, life no longer feels like swimming against a current. Instead you flow effortlessly, growing and learning along the way. Guidance: The Lovers reversed represents conflicts within and around you. Rather than finding someone to blame, accepting that your own actions may have led you to the situation you're in is the way to shape your future. Once you get a deeper understanding of yourself, you will become more confident and in charge of your direction. ​ Love: This reversal often signifies communication problems. One of you may be choosing path of avoidance rather than being direct and honest, or your life views are too different from each other. In order to turn this card upright, don’t get caught up in emotional flare-ups. First understand where you stand in your relationship, what works for you and what doesn’t. If you are single, it may suggest a passionate connection, but probably not serious or romantic. ​ Work/Finances: The Lovers reversed may indicate issues such as misalignment between your current work and your core values, broken partnerships, indecisiveness or irresponsibility. Regardless of the situation, it is in your hands to turn it around. If you’ve made a wrong decision, accept the consequences and learn the lessons. Conflicts with others can be resolved through direct communication. Being more financially responsible is advised. ​ Health: Self-care is crucial to living well. Notice how you view your life and how you talk to yourself. Something powerful happens once you believe you can live your happiest, healthiest life. Rather than focusing on the negative, take time to give love and attention to your body, mind and soul. Reach out to people who are willing to support you. ​ Spirituality: Are you struggling to find a peace of mind? If this is the case, internal conflict is the biggest sign that you are not listening to your intuition. Your intuition is your inner compass, learn to trust it. If the reason you feel stuck is the past, it is time to forgive and move on. The Lovers Reversed See the previous card: the hierophant see the next card: the chariot Back to Top

He holds three swords, two of them pointing upwards. He has a smirky look on his face as he watches two defeated opponents walking away, leaving their swords on the ground.

You either got discouraged and lost your willpower over the hostility you faced, or you decided to remove yourself from the conflict and pain. In any case, you cannot truly move on unless you release all the negative emotions that are attached to you. ​ Love: A recent conflict is coming to an end. You were both emotionally charged; hurtful words had been exchanged. And after the initial shock of the crisis, you will either choose to move on or reconciliate. In any case, you will gain a new peace of mind once you forgive and forget. If you choose to find a middle ground with your partner, it is important for you to take some time to recover before you start communicating again. If you are single, it means that you are moving on for something better. You are letting of an old wound, ex-partner, or a recent love interest that wasn’t working out. ​ Work/Finances: After a period of tension, betrayal and conflict, you are giving up the fight. This is a good thing if you are moving on from a toxic situation to something much better. But if the reason you are walking away is self-defeat, you are only avoiding the problem temporarily. The Five of Swords reversed advises you to release yourself from counterproductive situations and thoughts; while you build your strength, skills and defenses to help you achieve your goals in the long term. ​ Health: The Five of Swords reversed may indicate a problem or behavior that you shouldn’t be ignoring. Alternatively, you may be ignoring medical advice or treatment. In order to restore your wellbeing, first you need to acknowledge what you need to let go and what changes you need to implement. The cause of your problem may be emotional or behavioral. ​ Spirituality: According to this reversal, you are seeking resolution for an ongoing internal conflict. When you experience hurt, betrayal or grief, is your first usual reaction is to blame yourself? If your answer is yes, you are on your path to learn self-empowerment. These are very difficult experiences and it will take time and courage to heal. But once you are willing to take charge of your life, they are going to show you how strong and capable you are inside.

You may also be avoiding an ongoing health issue that needs to be worked through. Someone may need your care at this time. ​ Spirituality: This reversal suggests that there is a need to harmonize your energies, resolve ongoing inner conflicts and bring out deep seated issues to light. Close your eyes for a moment and let your inner child speak to you. Life doesn’t always have to be complicated; it can be a world full of awe and joy if you let it.

TAROT CARDS: THE HANGED MAN Surrender and accept whatever is happening in the moment, the Universe is working on your behalf.’’ Mastin Kipp DESCRIPTION At first sight, it is very hard to decrypt the symbolism behind hanged man which makes it one of the most alluring cards of the tarot deck. He is hanging upside-down, yet there is no visible sign of suffering in his face. Instead a halo is formed around his head, symbolizing enlightenment in surrendering. The hanging male figure forms an inverted triangle with his body. According to some, this is inverse ideogram of alchemical Sulphur- a fiery and masculine transformative element in Alchemy. The essence behind the Hanged Man is power of inaction. Between every beginning and end we are the Hanged Man, dormant, waiting for the next cycle to begin. The period of pause the card talks about can get uncomfortable if you are not willing to accept and move on. When life gets turned upside down and you are being pushed by the Universe to put everything on hold, this is your moment of opportunity in giving birth to your new reality. ​ Number 12 signifies completion and flow of change. The Hanged Man Keywords ​ Pause Release Spiritual transformation UPRIGHT REVERSED ​ Stagnation Resistance No change ​ The Hanged Man Upright Guidance: When the Hanged Man shows up, you may feel stagnated and restricted in your life. This is a necessary pause whether it is of your own choice or not. However, it is always your choice to change your perception. Think of this as a phase of clearing out what no longer serves you. In order to find inner peace, you need to accept your new reality and not stick to old thoughts, situations and people anymore. ​ Love: The Hanged Man indicates moving on, taking a break or stepping back from the relationship. You will need to assess problems and emotions that you have been avoiding. Don’t rush into big decisions yet. Take some time to clarify what your needs and wants are, what makes you unhappy and what you need to change. If you are single, this is a dormant time for relationships. You need to find yourself before you find love, and the new will come once you release the old. ​ Work/Finances: Your career, ambitions or projects may be put ‘on hold’. Understandably you want to jump back into action, but this is not a good time to force or rush things. First, you need to figure out why you are stalled. The message of the Hanged Man is simple: Accept, let go and free yourself. Embrace change, whether it is good or bad. Reinvent yourself when you are stuck. It is a very slow card, so you need to be patient in financial matters. ​ Health: The Hanged Man still indicates a progress, but it is so slow- it may even be unnoticeable at first. When your recovery process feels slow, you may get discouraged in taking care of yourself, which of course you shouldn’t. Allow yourself and your body time to heal. Change up your routine to get your energy flowing again. If you are considering a different treatment option, discuss with your doctor before you make a change. ​ Spirituality: The Hanged Man seems like a pause in your outside world but within you, it is a very expansive, active time. You are at a state where you are transcending limiting beliefs, releasing the old and defining the future you desire. It is not an easy path by no means, and the Universe will demand two things the most from you at this time: Patience and acceptance. Guidance: Reversed hanged man shows resistance. You are refusing to learn from old mistakes and change your direction. You may feel like you are trapped in a vicious cycle of unfortunate events, but they won’t go away unless you learn the lessons. Honest self-evaluation will not only improve your soul growth, but also your relationships, health and finances. It is time to turn over a new leaf. ​ Love: You may be attracting unhealthy relationship patterns or refusing to let go of someone. Moving on is impossible if you keep reliving the past. In order to create the love you desire, you need to discover yourself first. Ask yourself what is keeping you bound. Lasting relationships take time, so don’t rush anything. As someone’s feelings, this reversal indicates detachment from emotions or hesitation. ​ Work/Finances: Things are on standstill- this reversal may indicate situations such as delayed projects, unemployment period or slow progress. Are you tired of waiting for a change? Then you need to become the change you seek. Reevaluate your path and take a different approach if necessary. Don’t avoid dealing with your finances. ​ Health: The warning here is: Don’t neglect your self-care. This goes for your body, mind as well as your emotions. What are you feeling? Sad? Anxious? Stressed out? Acceptance is the first step to any healing process. ​ Spirituality: The Hanged Man reversed is an invitation from your inner self for you to start your spiritual journey that you had been neglecting. You have many unanswered questions in your head. Clarity and fulfillment, you seek in your life can be attained by peaceful contemplation. Don’t let your ego dictate your life, instead learn to live in harmony with it. The Hanged Man Reversed See the previous card: the justice see the next card: the death Back to Top

TAROT CARDS: FOUR OF SWORDS Gentle time will heal our sorrows.” Sophocles DESCRIPTION In a sanctuary, a Knight in his armor is laying down on a tomb-like stone slab. Right beneath him lies one horizontal sword, while three others are hanging over the wall. At first glance, calm sense of quiet solitude is immediately felt. The Four of Swords represents a time of rest and recuperation after a major battle. The Knight is still wearing his armor, which suggests he is recharging for his next challenge. Transition from the Three of Swords to the Four shows us the journey from trauma to healing. In a reading, this card simply says: Take a break! And not just to gain your energy back from the emotional tension and mental strain accumulated from going through a painful loss, but also to reflect upon the lessons to gain new perspectives. Living in the modern world, power of inaction is something that eludes us more and more. Doesn’t it always seem like we always must keep the wheels turning, that hitting the pause button is never an option? Rest and renewal are the times to contemplate the direction of our path. When the constant distractions and demands of the daily life switch over into stillness, our deepest parts of ourselves rise to the surface. Reflecting upon these parts helps us to choose a more loving, peaceful and healthier direction for ourselves. ​ Number 4 represents persistence, stability and responsibility. Four of Swords Keywords ​ Rest Contemplation Healing Isolation UPRIGHT REVERSED ​ Fatigue Stress Restlessness ​ Upright Four of Swords Guidance: The Four of Swords indicates that you’ve been through a lot recently. In order to release all the stress and hurt you experienced, you need some time of calmness and stillness to rejuvenate yourself. Take this time to do whatever helps you to restore your inner peace and balance: whether is meditating, praying, getting in touch with nature of spending time with your loved ones. Gently and lovingly reflect on your life to change the things that made you unhappy. You will know when you feel ready to get back out in the world again. ​ Love: In the past, you had felt deeply hurt and heartbroken over a break-up, divorce or a separation. Now it is more about loving and healing yourself, before you dive into solving problems in your love life. By allowing time for some healthy solitude, you can realign yourself with your needs and values again. It will also help you to assess your weaknesses, fears and doubts, things that you wish to overcome and improve. If you are single, in order to create the love you deserve, you need the same time of introspection to align yourself with your core values. When you truly love yourself and heal the past, a new, healthy relationship will be on your doorstep. ​ Work/Finances: The Four of Swords shows effects of pressure, stress and overworking in your work life. You push yourself too far and need a break. Perhaps you feel pressured to get back on your feet after a loss, or you are stuck in a rut. Even though the time to rest feels like an unnecessary pause you cannot afford, a calm and clear mind will help you find the solutions to a lot of your problems. Besides, you need all your energy and focus to able to keep moving forward. Don’t make big financial decisions unless you evaluate thoroughly. ​ Health: The Four of Swords means recovery and rest. You may have gone through an illness or a period of stress and emotional trauma recently. The need to rest is not just psychical, you need to rest your mind and soul as well. For the sake of your wellbeing, it is time to set a barrier between you and the negative situations and emotions that surrounded you for some time. ​ Spirituality: This card invites you for a quiet, peaceful time of isolation and self-reflection. When you go through a difficult period in your outer life, you should always check back within you to figure out how all this is affecting your soul. Your soul transforms with your mind, intellect and emotions; and it is only fair to listen to its needs and advice as well. Guidance: Now that the difficult times are behind, instead of resting and taking care of yourself for a while, you are diving into new things. This is only creating more exhaustion because you can’t really distract yourself from issues unless you solve them. If you don’t want the same painful situations and mistakes to repeat in the future, you need to go deep within yourself and fix them with patience, self-love and respect. ​ Love: You’ve been through a recent heartbreak, and you are refusing to take a break to think things through. If you don’t let yourself fully heal emotionally, you are not ready to communicate again or deal with the aftermath. It will only create more hurt and conflict for both sides. If you are single, take it slow. You are just coming out of your isolation in the hopes of finding love again. Don’t stress yourself rushing around, building healthy relationships takes patience. ​ Work/Finances: The Four of Swords reversed warns you about a burnout. Don’t dismiss how tired and stressed you are, it may be more than the kind of fatigue you feel after a long day of work. Sometimes all you need is to clear your head a bit, but it can also be an indication of a highly stressful, demanding and even toxic work environment/situation which you need to detach yourself from. If you step back and rest a little, you will recognize much better opportunities with a clear mind. ​ Health: Your body and mind are signaling you to take a break, but for some reason you are not listening. If you don’t allow yourself time to recuperate, it can have more serious consequences. The Four of Swords encourages you to detach yourself from stress and exhaustion, in any way you can. Try to take some time off work and other things that require your attention for a while if necessary. ​ Spirituality: It is understandable that you want to move away from the suffering and heartbreak you experienced, but it is not going to disappear by ignoring or repressing it. By diving into more noise, chaos and stimulation of the outside world, you can only distract yourself for a short time. Listen to your soul’s voice, it only wants you to heal your wounds, not remind you the pain.
