The heart of the matter

The Seven of Swords is about secrets and deception. The question is are you the deceiver or the deceived? If you are the deceiver it is important to remember that while it may be possible to avoid responsibility in the short term, this usually has a higher cost in the long run than accepting responsibility for your mistakes would have had. If you are the one being deceived then remember that not everyone is exactly as they appear.

What is preventing your efforts

Four of Pentacles is the Miser. This often indicates hoarding or an unwillingness to accept change. While there is nothing wrong with saving for the future, this can be taken too far. As the saying goes, 'You can't take your money with you when you die.'

What you are trying to achieve

As the Two of Wands is about finding your place in the world, this indicates that to achieve your goals you will have to prove that you mean business. This is about proving to people that you have the skills and talent that you claim to. While trying to improve your lot in life is certainly desirable, don't let this desire blind you to your true needs.

Factors you may not be considering

The Nine of Pentacles influence is a reminder to build your nest-egg. Some people are naturally prepared for the future. If you are not one of those people then you need to find the discipline to be prepared for unforeseen disasters. The best nest-egg is the one that is not used until you decide to retire early.

Influences from the past

As the Ace of Cups represents the beginnings of romance, in the past position this card probably is referring to a recent romantic interlude or someone that you hope to have a romantic interlude with. Don't let your emotions hide the reality of your situation. Lust and love are not the same thing.

Factors that may influence the future

The Fool in the near future is often an indication of leaping before looking. Failing to plan for the future is a very common vice. Even when plans are in place, the unknown has a way of shattering solid plans so always make sure the plans for your future are flexible and can withstand wedges being driven into them.

How you are viewing the situation

When you are feeling compassionate, you may be in the same state of mind as the Queen of Cups. While this Queen is very emotional, she is a reminder that emotions are a part of life and that you should be careful not to continually repress your emotions. The Queen is there to help others with their emotional issues and to be there for emotional support.

How others are viewing you

When other people view you as the Emperor, they are seeing you as the one who is really in charge. This does not necessarily indicate that you are the leader, but is more a reflection that you are the authority on the subject and have the ability to take control of the situation.

Your current hopes and fears

The fear of the Ten of Wands is that you are so overburdened that you are no longer able to see where you are going. The hope is that you can lighten your load. Pushing yourself to the limit is good in bursts, but is not realistically sustainable so so if you find your plate is full all of the time then you really do need to try and find ways to lighten your workload.

Potential outcome

The Ten of Cups represents your safe-haven. In the future position this card is about reaping what you have sown. It is about being connected with that which you find important and being able to enjoy yourself.
