14 The Temperance Card Meaning

The Temperance Card Meaning

The Temperance Card Meaning

The card of harmony, peace, health and compromise. Negative associations with this card would be the opposite of impatience, lack of foresight, conflict and argument.

Temperance symbolises self-control and the ability to handle a difficult situation carefully, and so bring about a positive result. It can suggest a wonderful time of harmony, health and enjoyment, and many say the Temperance card can be seen as your guardian angel.

13 The Death Card Meaning

The Death Card meaning

The Death Card Meaning

Together with the Devil, this is probably the most feared card in the deck, but it shouldn’t be. It hardly ever points to physical death. The Death Card meaning usually suggests merely an ending of something of significance. Without endings, we don’t have beginnings, so one can look upon this card as a card of new opportunity rather than as a card of loss. Continue Reading

12 The Hanged Man Card Meaning

The Hanged Man Card Meaning

The Hanged Man Card Meaning usually represents a time of feeling in limbo, being stuck or being prevented from moving forward. He’s usually depicted hanging upside down with his hands tied – which is just what it feels like!

We need to remain flexible and willing to let go of things; it’s probably a time for sacrifice.

The hanged man card is basically saying, don’t sweat it, take some time out and be patient. Continue Reading

The Justice Card Meaning

The Justice Card Meaning

Here’s the Justice Card meaning: She’s got a sword and she’s prepared to use it! Justice represents what’s right and fair; the scales are to weigh and balance, the sword to deal the blow. Normally, Justice is depicted blindfolded, indicating that she’s impartial and doesn’t get emotionally involved. However, the sword is double-edged, so it can swing either way … watch out!

The Wheel of Fortune Card Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune Card Meaning

The Wheel of Fortune card meaning is about the cycle of life. We’re midway through the Major Arcana now. This card indicates that everything moves in circles.  Just as the wheel can move downwards and bring misfortune and bad luck, it is sure to move upwards again and bring us the luck we seek. Drawing this card can herald a new cycle in life, but it can also be a pointer to the fact that destiny is at hand, and we may not have much to do with our current circumstances.

9 The Hermit Card Meaning

The Hermit Card Meaning

The Hermit Card meaning: It’s time for some careful consideration, introspection and maybe a bit of time on your own. Don’t be too hasty. The Hermit can also represent a refusal to accept advice when help would be beneficial. Continue Reading

8 The Strength Card Meaning

The Strength Card Meaning

The Strength Card Meaning

The Strength Card Meaning is about all those wonderful virtues of strength, willpower, compassion, patience, courage and fortitude, but like all the cards, can just as well represent the opposite; cowardice, fear, inertia, defeat, loss of opportunity.

Strength can suggest the rapid recovery from illness or the right time to give up those bad habits.

It’s a great card to pull if you’re struggling with a situation, as it represents the energy of having the mettle to see things through. Continue Reading

7 The Chariot Card Meaning

The Chariot Card meaning

The Chariot Card Meaning

Here is the Chariot card meaning: Lots of conflict ahead, but it’s all going to be all right in the end! The Chariot is usually pulled by 2 horses that appear to go in separate directions – a kind of pulling apart, hence the conflict. There’s lots of energy with this card though, it’s all about dramatic movement and change. On the flip side, there’s plenty of room here for overconfidence and arrogance.

5 The Hierophant Card Meaning

The Hierophant Card Meaning

The Hierophant Card Meaning: sometimes called the High Priest, he’s the counterpart to the High Priestess, but represents the wise man rather than the wise woman. He’s a great teacher, adviser, and counsellor and will give good advice even if it’s a bit conventional in spirit. He can represent the feeling of having one’s creativity stifled and is not the favourite card of the deck for the more maverick and unconventional of us!

The Emperor Card Meaning

Here is the Emperor Card Meaning: The Big Daddy! He’s all about achievement, authority, protection, support and all those traits typical of the male provider role. At his best he’s honourable and can be a great help at a time when support is needed. At his worst, he’s tyrannical, overbearing, untrustworthy and definitely to be avoided!
