2. This card indicates unconscious driving forces that neither the reader nor others are aware of about them, the great unknown. Nobody knows what this tarot card means, at least not yet...
3. The part of oneself that is concealed, to keep others from discovering, is apparent in this card.
4. This is the Blind Spot. This is what was asked about, that which this reading should bring awareness of. The reader may wish to pay close attention to these mannerisms.

This card displays your obvious identity, the part of you that everyone knows.

Ace of Swords

The Ace of Swords represents the pure essence of intellect, clarity, and decisive action. It signifies a breakthrough or a new beginning rooted in truth and the power of the mind.

Symbolism: A single sword rises vertically, adorned with a crown and floral motifs, symbolising victory, divine truth, and mental clarity. The upward direction penetrating the crown emphasises the potential to cut through illusions and reveal higher wisdom.

In Relationships: Clear communication paves the way for a deeper connection. It may signal the start of a relationship based on mutual understanding.

In Work: A fresh idea or decisive action propels you forward. It's a time for mental focus and setting clear goals.

Spiritually: The card reflects awakening through truth and the ability to discern the path forward with clarity.

When ill-dignified: Miscommunication, over analysis, or harsh judgements. It warns against using intellect as a weapon or avoiding necessary action.

 

 

 

 

This card shows unconscious driving forces that neither you nor your company is aware of about you. This is the Great Unknown.

Nine of Batons

The Nine of Batons represents resilience, endurance, and the ability to protect what has been achieved. It reflects the final push before completion.

Symbolism: Nine batons intertwine in a dense arrangement, without foliage due to the weight of the structure. The card suggests strength under pressure and determination in adversity.

In Work: Hard work and vigilance are necessary to see a project through to completion.

Spiritually: The card reminds you of your inner strength and the importance of perseverance on the spiritual path.

Five of Swords

The Five of Swords signifies conflict, tension, and the cost of victory. It reflects the complexities of human interaction, where ambition and ego can lead to hollow triumphs.

Symbolism: Four curved blades form an oval frame around one straight sword, with floral details disrupted by their arrangement. The imagery suggests discord and the difficulty in maintaining harmony.

In Relationships: Disputes or misunderstandings. It highlights the importance of humility and compromise.

XVIII – The Moon (La Lune)

The Moon symbolises intuition, mystery, and the subconscious. It reflects the realm of dreams, illusions, and emotions, inviting you to explore the depths of your psyche and confront hidden truths.

Symbolism: The Moon casts its dim light over a mysterious scene: a dog and a wolf howl beneath its glow, representing the duality of tame and wild instincts. A crayfish emerges from the water, symbolising the hidden depths of the subconscious rising to the surface. The two towers suggest boundaries between reality and the unknown.

In Relationships: Emotional complexity, hidden dynamics, or the need to trust your intuition. Beware of illusions or misunderstandings.

In Work: A period of uncertainty or unclear direction. It encourages careful reflection and trusting inner instincts over external noise.

Spiritually: The Moon calls for introspection and exploration of the shadow self through dreams, intuition, and subconscious symbols.

When ill-dignified: Confusion, deception, or fear of the unknown. It warns against being lost in illusions or succumbing to anxiety.
