The card of the recent past energy (that which we are leaving) is the Nine of Wands upright. This is a card of suspicion and not trusting. It’s also a battle tested and battle weary card. You may have recently gone through something that truly tested you. So you’re tired, but also defensive.
The card of the present energy (what is around you as you are reading this or that you will soon enter) is the Six of Wands reversed. A fall from grace. If you once had the respect and admiration of those around you, something may have happened (or may soon happen) that will cause that admiration to fade. This is also a card of victory and winning (when upright). So reversed, it can indicate a block or delay to achieving that victory and the admiration of others. Just because it’s blocked now, doesn’t mean it will stay blocked forever. Energy is always shifting…
The future card is the Nine of Swords reversed. This card can indicate trauma or something that really has you worried. Up at night worried or “in your head” worried. The reversed meaning is similar to the upright meaning – in that it’s all about significant distress and mental anguish. But when it’s reversed, as it is here, it can indicate a desire to change that. When it’s upright you may be so caught up in it that you don’t see a way out or don’t realize there is a light at the end of the tunnel. When the card is reversed…you do. You realize you don’t have to remain in this dark place forever and that you don’t want to. And that you’re going to take steps to get out.
I drew another card because, let’s be honest, these cards weren’t the best and brightest to get. And that card is the Eight of Wands upright. A much better card, this can indicate communication and action. Positive action. Something moving in a positive direction. It’s also sometimes called the “arrows of love” card. So it’s possible that the communication or thing that is moving in a good direction is related to a relationship in some way. So now we know that all this suspicion and fall from grace and worry isn’t for nothing. It may be what is needed to spur on the action and forward movement of something.
Be open to what calls you…
