Interpreting Tarot Cards -
Part 2
by Maria Svensson
Last time we looked at a
simplified tarot card reading scheme based on the 22 major
arcana cards, and got as far as the Emperor. We will continue
this week with the 5th card, the Hierophant.
A Hierophant is someone who interprets secret knowledge, and
represents learning, often in a religious context. In readings,
the Hierophant represents learning from the experts, or official
institutions. This card can symbolize the fact that you face an
internal struggle with reactionary drives or forces, and need to
be more freethinking. It also puts you on warning that not all
learning comes from dusty old text books.
Next tarot card is the Lovers. Obviously, this card represents
both love and sex. In a reading the Lovers can indicate a
crossroads in your path, usually moral in nature. The choice
between the high ground and your base desires is yours, of
course. How you make that decision between the base and the
lofty reflects what sort of a person you are, as the easy route
quite often turns out to be not so easy after all.
The Chariot is the next Tarot card we shall look at. At
www.psychicsuperstore.com we believe that this card signifies
the need for positive control. This means firm decisions, not
brutal ones. Self control is strongly marked with this card, as
is the concept of victory. The Chariot, though, does not allow
for win-win scenarios - there will be a loser in this episode.
Your competition must be defeated in order for you to win, is
the message of this card.
After the Chariot comes Strength, and this is not just physical
strength, but the inner qualities of perseverance, courage,
determination and calmness in a crisis. These qualities are the
ones that help you not to give up, and persistence is the
message here. You must also note that too much strength can be
counter-productive. Forbearance and patience can also be signs
of inner strength.
Next up is the Hermit, an image familiar to most of us. The
Hermit can mean you need space, or time by yourself away from
the distractions of everyday life. If your life is manic right
now, he can imply a need to 'center' yourself, and provide a
solid core on which your life can revolve. In a more obvious
sense, he can be a warning that you should pull back from
whatever it is you are pushing at. On a higher level, the Hermit
means searching for deeper truths, and the education of others
in those truths.
The last tarot card we will look at this time at
www.psychicsuperstore.com is the Wheel of Fortune. As one of the
few tarot cards without a human illustration, the Wheel of
Fortune is above the level of human kind and stands for visions
or unexpected clarity, realization. The card may be alerting you
to the possibility that by taking a broader perspective, you may
suddenly grasp the big picture you have been struggling to find.
It also represents twists of fate, and unexpected developments.
As a wheel, the card symbolizes the circularity of all things,
and the knowledge that what goes around, comes around too.
Next week we will look at the 11th tarot card, Justice.
