The heart of the matter

Death reflects the simple fact that all things must end, but endings usually result in new beginnings. The old must die to make way for the new which means that sometimes you need to let go of the past in order to embrace the changes that are coming your way. Often this card can be interpreted as a parting of the ways.

What is preventing your efforts

The Chariot reminds us that sometimes life seems to be like a race or competition. However, many people do not like to lose and will attempt to win the race at any cost. While the victor may gain the spoils, the wise person makes sure that the spoils are worth the cost. To prevent yourself from losing more than you gain, you must find a way to control your emotions.

What you are trying to achieve

The Five of Wands hints that your goals are not proceeding according to plans. Minor setbacks are a part of life. If you feel your goals are worth aiming for then you need to find the willpower to preserver.

Factors you may not be considering

Balancing the scale is what the Justice card is about. When justice influences your present situation then fairness should be a high priority. Remember that your decisions are not made in a void. Your actions have consequences so it is a wise idea to take a look at both sides of an issue before making a stand.

Influences from the past

Ten of Wands is a reflection of your workload. More specifically, it is a warning that you may be taking on more than you can handle and as a result you may not be able to properly see where you are going.

Factors that may influence the future

As the Page of Cups is about new or renewed love, this is indication that romance and creativity will be a fundamental part of your future. This may indicate that for a more romantic future you need to be more sensitive to the needs of your partner.

How you are viewing the situation

To be like the Ace of Pentacles, you need to start preparing for the future. This isn't about planning, but actually getting started on the required work. Just like with a garden, you need to plant seeds before anything other than weeds will grow.

How others are viewing you

When others view you as The Hermit they see the withdrawn person. Often others fail to see the Hermit as the seeker of wisdom that he represents. Remember that the Hermit seeks his own path through the world. While he may hope that others follow the path that he is treading, his ultimate reward is the discoveries he makes on his journey

Your current hopes and fears

The hope and fear related question that you need to ask the Knight of Cups is 'are you really in love or just in love with the idea of love?' The answer to this question will tell you if you want to find/be the knight in shining armour or if you are just experiencing exaggerated feelings.

Potential outcome

As the Three of Wands is about planning for the future, when this card is in the future position planning becomes even more important. While predicting the future is simply the matter of being aware of where things are headed and planning a course that takes advantage of where things are heading, this is easier said than done. Humans have a habit of both over and underestimating the rate of change.
