The heart of the matter

The Devil indicates that your obsessions or lust for power is probably leading to the manipulation by others. This living of a lie will result in you being bound to someone or something which will keep holding you back. You need to take a look at what is really going on around you and figure out what is holding you back. You have the ability to escape your bonds.

What is preventing your efforts

The Hermit represents the most secretive part of ourselves. He is about searching for inner wisdom. His presence is telling you that you are rushing into things and this is what is blocking your progress. You should reflect on your current situation carefully so you will act on the right things and not be focused on something else when the important things are passing you by.

What you are trying to achieve

Wheel of Fortune is all about luck and the ups and downs of life. This is often an indication that you may be relying too much on luck to reach your current goals. Just remember that often we make our own luck. Failure is only inevitable if you do nothing.

Factors you may not be considering

As the Five of Cups -- which is influencing your current situation -- represents loss, you may not be having the best of times. This may indicate that you are feeling grief over something you have recently lost. In order to move forward, you have to accept things the way they are as you can not go back in time and change things. As the saying goes, 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.'

Influences from the past

As Strength represents taking control of ones life, in the past position it can usually be interpreted as actions that you have recently taken in order to gain control over your life. Remember that strength does not necessarily refer to physical strength, but also describes strength in your thought process, willingness to take action, and emotional strength.

Factors that may influence the future

The near future is influenced by the Two of Wands. This card is all about proving to the world you are where you belong. The world is in your hands, so don't drop it.

How you are viewing the situation

When your thoughts are tainted with a flair of romance you may be thinking like the Ace of Cups. This card is about being in tune with your emotions and is often associated with the early stages of love or romance. While romance is usually with another person, the same type of emotions can be associated with things that are very personal to you.

How others are viewing you

As the Knight of Pentacles is practical when it comes to matters of the material world, when others see you through this card they are seeing the hard-working side of you. The Knight of Pentacles knows that work does not do itself so puts the necessary effort in to get the task done.

Your current hopes and fears

The fear that the Nine of Wands brings is of what struggles are in your future. The hope is that no matter what comes you will be able to persevere.

Potential outcome

Two of Swords is about denial so being in a future position, this card is a warning that if you do not take a realistic look at what is currently happening to you, things may not turn out pleasantly. You have choices available to you but you need to be aware of them in order to choose. If you do remove the rose-coloured glasses and are able to make a choice, you have the ability to succeed.
