The card in the past position is the Ace of Pentacles reversed. Aces start a suit and the suit of pentacles are about money, finances, career, resources. Or something (or things, plural) you value as much as money. So reversed, it can suggest a block or delay to something with money. A new job. A new position or promotion at work. Or if you’ve been expecting money through inheritance or a payback from a friend, it may be delayed. It’s easy to be frustrated with this. We generally want the Ace cards to be upright because they usher in fresh new energy in a specific area. Reversed, they’re about delay and block. Just keep in mind that sometimes when things aren’t happening when you’d like them to, it’s the universe (God, source, spirit, your guides or angels) putting things on pause because something better is on its way.
The card in the present position is the Eight of Cups reversed. Not walking away from something emotional. Or from a relationship. Being unable to move forward from something that was connected to your heart in some way (usually, this card speaks to a relationship of some sort).
The card in the future position is the Seven of Pentacles reversed. Getting frustrated with things not developing. Or you feel like they aren’t developing or growing the way you’d like them to. Or at the speed or rate you’d like them to. It can also be wondering if it’s all worth it. It’s like putting in the work, and the time and the energy…and things just aren’t happening. So why are you bothering with it at all?
All of these cards are reversed. Not all reversals are bad – there are actually some cards you’d prefer to present in the reversed position. But in a very broad, general way, they can suggest blockages and delays. I’m doing this reading right before the full moon in Scorpio – so the moon is likely void of course. The full moon tomorrow will be a good time to release whatever may be holding you back. Blockages, if you know what they are or where they are. For example, maybe letting go of that emotional situation or relationship. You can’t move forward in something new (or better) if you haven’t let go of something in the past. It’s like wanting the car to move forward while it’s still in park. It’s just not going to happen.
So take a deep breath and “sit with it” for a moment or two. That was such good advice given to me by a friend. When emotions or situations seem overwhelming or stagnant and you’re frustrated…sit with it. Don’t try to fight it or go around it (that never works). Sit with it. Feel through it. Then you’ll be ready to move forward.
Be open to what calls you…
