This month, let’s look at the Magician Card. The meaning for this card is a golden opportunity. There is no negative side to this card, it tells us that an opportunity is about to smack us between the eyes. It always seems to come out of the blue! In a business reading, this card gets me jumping up and down with excitement! I know I will be happy with the outcome of this card. Look closely at the picture and you will see several options for you to take to the road to success. A boat, a path, a bridge that leads to the exciting unknown – this card is dynamic and promises an abundance of success, all we have to do is take the opportunity presented to us. So now, let’s pretend a client has asked the question, “Will I ever have children?” What would your answer be if spirit gave you the magician card? Well, instantly, that excited feeling would hit me as always and my answer would be; Yes! The opportunity is coming, but we want to be more precise with our predictions and readings. So let’s pull another card to go next to it…
The High Priestess!! Wow! Now this changes everything! The meaning for this card is learning something new, relating to studies and education, however, it ALSO means the card of fertility. Now I am getting really excited as these two cards together are clearly telling us that there is an opportunity to get pregnant.
Now, I’m wanting to give this woman even more proof and something to look forward to, so let’s pull one more card…
Well, by now I would be jumping up and down on behalf of the client – the Ace of Cups not only means a celebration, a new chapter in romance, but the gypsy meaning for this one is …. BABY GIRL!
So, as you can see, working the cards together when answering specific questions with the tarot, enables us to answer in a detailed way, as opposed to just using the first card spirit gives us in a reading. By the way, The Ace of Swords is the card that means baby boy.
Now, how would you interpret the same cards if they came up in answer to the question,
“Will I be self employed?”
Well, the magician card is showing us that a golden opportunity is on its way – telling me instantly that this is a fantastic, do-able idea. The High Priestess says that the client has more to learn though. This isn’t bad; it is just indicating that they haven’t had experience in all aspects of running this kind of business. Looking at the high priestess now, she looks exciting, as if there is an adventure ahead into the unknown. The last card, the Ace of Cups, is now saying there will be a cause to celebrate – this business really is going to take off and our client is going to be very happy. So the straight answer to the person’s question is a definite, “Yes, you will be self employed”
Reading the tarot should always be done with good intention. Remember, to be a professional and accurate reader, you need to work with love and light at all times. Light a candle, say a little prayer, and ask for true guidance from above before you start. I never use reverse meanings, remember the Faulkner Tarot is the modern non-scary way of bringing the tarot into the 21st century – so we only like to give positive guidance. Reverse meanings scare the living daylight out of people and we don’t want to do that. Yes, we can predict negative situations and times of hardship – but look at every situation in life from a positive view, giving hope and promise to people having a hard time. Even in the darkest moments of our lives there is always a way of rebuilding and starting again.
