Question asked: What does Part 1 of my blog mean?

Here is your Tarot reading

Death

• End
• New beginning
• Loss
• Dramatic change
• Destruction

Current Influences

Your present position. This card reveals influences, and shows the general direction of the reading.

Death is indicative of change in your future. This change can be in almost any aspect of your life, but it will almost certainly be permanent, significant, and absolute. Death suggests a complete severance between the past and the future, and it will likely be painful. Despite the sense of loss that may accompany it, Death fills an important and natural role in life, and leads eventually to acceptance. It is a necessary part of moving forward, and you will find the changes easiest if you embrace them, rather than fight them. Expect the end of a close friendship, a job, a marriage, or even a life, but do not focus too greatly on the negative.

In this position, the card reveals:

Transformation, great, and perhaps terrible, is near at hand. You will find ideas and relationships you have long depended on challenged.

Obstacles

Immediate Influences. This card reveals the nature of the obstacles immediately before you.

The single resounding theme associated with the II of Cups is partnership. What sort of partnership is less clear, but you are in the past, present, or future, part of a powerful one. This partnership will involve absolute trust and commanding respect. It may, of course, be a particularly emotional love affair, but it could just as easily be a deep and abiding friendship. The exact nature may be revealed by the rest of the spread, or it may not. It will be a source of happiness for you, though, a presence in your life you can count on at every turn, and whose well-being will be as important to you as your own.

In this position, the card reveals:

You will enter a loving union or close partnership.

Two of Cups

• Commitment
• Friendship
• Love
• Partnership
• Relationship

The Chariot

• Journey
• Progression
• Strong character
• Success from effort
• Transportation and movement

Past Foundations

Recent influences or events in the past from which your current situation has arisen.

You have some hard work ahead of you. It may be resolved quickly, but the Chariot is a powerful card, and the labor you are undertaking will probably trend towards long and difficult. You will quite possibly experience rough roads, long uphill slopes, dead ends, and painful setbacks. A good outcome is only assured if the card is upright, but do not let yourself lose hope: This hard road will instil in you a strength of purpose, the ability to overcome through organization and endurance, and the confidence possessed only by those who have done what they thought they could not. Harnessed correctly, few forces can stand against an individual like that.

In this position, the card reveals:

Your tendency to protect your own interests and psyche has tested your character, and strengthened it, making victory possible.

Past Events

Reveals a recent influence or event which is coming to an end.

The World is an indicator of a major and inexorable change, of tectonic breadth. This change represents a chance for you to bring about a desirable end to the Old and a good beginning to the New. It is indicative of growing maturity, a sense of inner balance and deeper understanding. It suggests that you may be approaching a more final sense of identity, and the security in the self that comes with age. It also represents the falling away of boundaries, sometimes in the effusive sense of the spiritual, but sometimes in a purely physical sense, indicating travels or journeys in the future.

In this position, the card reveals:

You may still be coming to the realization, but you are in a good position to accept new responsibilities into your life, thanks to recently gained freedoms.

The World

• Certainty
• Completion
• Positive
• Reward
• Satisfaction

Seven of Cups

• Confusion
• Dreams and ambitions
• Speculating
• Decision
• Temptation

Goals and Destiny

Shows your desired goals and aims, and reveals the best outcome that can be achieved in your current situation.

This card speaks strongly to your inner self. It is trying to tell you something about your unconscious or the realms of your imagination. Your hopes, dreams, and unrealized aspirations are all fair game to the VII of Cups. It speaks of a deep confusion, or a lack of understanding of your true motivations by your conscious mind. It is time to look carefully at your own motivations and reexamine your goals, but it is also a risky time to act upon your conclusions.

In this position, the card reveals:

You have a chance for two successes. The first will come for certain, but if you rest on your laurels you will lose a chance for a second, greater, success.

Future Influences

Reveals a new influence that will soon be brought to bear in your life.

The Ace of Cups signifies the beginning of period of strong emotional health for you. Expect copious joy, happiness, and love to surround you during this time. Existing personal relationships may strengthen, meaningful new ones are likely to form. If marriage is in your future, you are likely to lay the foundations for it during this time.

In this position, the card reveals:

An emotionally difficult event will nonetheless come to good end.

Ace of Cups

• Abundance
• Creativity
• Intense relationship
• Satisfaction
• Success

The Emperor

• Authority
• Father figure
• Masculine influence
• Rational
• Stable

The Querant (you)

This card reveals your negative feelings, and provides additional information about how you feel in your present environment.

Counterpart to the Empress, the Emperor is signifies a powerful influence, generally male in nature. This can also include concepts in your life historically considered masculine, such as leadership and authority, self-discipline, and stability through the power of action. Its positive influences suggest you may be on a path to advancement or promotion, but it can also be neutral. Often a companion to those destined to take on greater responsibility, it may presage change or loss that necessitates you stepping forward to shoulder a greater burden than you have in the past. Whatever the impetus for the change, it indicates you may possess an uncommon inner strength that will compel you act and to lead.

In this position, the card reveals:

Maintain a sense of adventure; there may be discomfort or hardship around you, but courage and kindness will see you through.

Friends and Family

This card shows your influence on the people around you, and their influence on you. It also shows how they fit into your home, work, and surroundings.

You almost certainly have great reserves of courage, and the perseverance to see yourself through difficult times. You may not be aware you possess these qualities, but you will find yourself needing them soon. Expect conflicts, possibly small, but more likely significant. It is not certain where they will arise, but there is no doubt you possess the ability to overcome your adversaries.

In this position, the card reveals:

You will receive support for new work or a major change in your life exactly when it is most needed.

Seven of Wands

• Coping and Resistance
• Courage
• Long-term successes
• Perseverance
• Strength

Three of Wands

• Achievement
• Fresh starts
• Long-term success
• Partnerships
• Trade

Hopes, Fears, and Ideals

Your inner emotions.

If you can bring the fullness of your creativity and inventiveness to the table, then the III of Wands brings good news. You are about to enter a time where your potential for productivity and accomplishment is very favourable. Keep your eyes open for new career opportunities and your mind open to new possibilities. The rewards these new opportunities bring, however, will only come in the fullness of time. You will need to be patient and stick around for the long haul. Also, look for new allies, as any new undertakings will be most successful if undertaken as partnerships.

In this position, the card reveals:

Your plans will only bring reward if they are put into action.

The Final Outcome

This card reveals the final outcome to your question. It's the product of all the other influences shown in this spread.

The II is, as always, bound up in the forces of change, and of balance. Like its brothers, the II of Pentacles can mean good or ill, but it as a strong indicator that the status quo will be disrupted. There will be challenges in your future, but your fate is largely in your own hands in the sense that the final outcome depends own how you respond to these challenges. The suit of this card suggests your best outcome is one that can be reached through prudence and careful planning.

In this position, the card reveals:

Recent changes on your part, and similar changes in your future, will bring you joy.

Two of Pentacles

• Balance
• Fluctuating Wealth
• Juggling
• Prudence
• Transfer or Exchange
