Ace of Swords

Explanation

Swords represent the element Air, and relate to one's intellect, intelligence, and ability to communicate with others.
In the previous suit, Cups, you have chosen your next ideal to pursue. In the Swords suit it is time to face the world and try to make this ideal a reality.
The Ace of Swords carries the number 1, and is the first chance to inventorise what challenges the world around you and the people in it will throw at you when you try to make your chosen ideal a reality.

Meaning

Positive

Try not to make commitments too soon, first have a good look around to see all the actors and forces on the field.

Neutral

You have to take a good look around to see what's worth pursuing earlier, and what can wait until later.

Negative

You're too negative about either or both yourself and your surroundings.

Knight of Cups

Explanation

The Knight of Cups is explores his own feelings, and the outside world might not even notice.

Meaning

Positive

Try to recognize your own true feelings, and try to come to some conclusion on where to move next. You may have to change a few things here and there.

Neutral

You're working with your own feelings about where to head next, about what makes you truely happy. Take your time for this choice.

Negative

Now is not the right time to express your feelings to others around you, you make yourself too vulnerable that way.

Strength

Explanation

Strength is the second of the four midieval values. Justice, card 11, is the first, and the third, Temperance, is card 14.

Place in the cycle

In the Rider-Waite deck, the cards for Justice and Strenght have swapped places, because Waite saw links between the cards and the astrological signs Leo and Libra.
This card carries the number 8, and is the third and final assignment number. This assignment is no longer simple like the first two, but is all about standing upright in the real world.

Meaning

Positive

Stand up for yourself and don't bother yourself with others' opinions of you.

Neutral

When the card of Strength falls, you will gradually discover sides of yourself that you didn't know before. First you adjusted, now you've decided to go your own way. You are no longer bothered by the opinions of others. Even if others disapprove, you will go your own way. You stand up for yourself and accept yourself as you are. You don't have to be liked as much as you needed to be.

Negative

This card signifies a long process. When the card is drawn upside down, it usually means you're not going fast enough for real change to happen.

4 of Cups

Explanation

With the 4, the second cycle of this suit is commenced, where a choice between structure and feeling has to be made, where old securities have to be let go of to work towards a new future. But like Wands, Cups don't like structure much, they prefer to be free and dream rather than to make commitments and go for something.

Meaning

Positive

To let go of securities and pursue ideals is not an easy task. Give yourself the time you need to make this step. Don't fool yourself to believe you feel fine with those old securities, something inside you desires the new and unknown. But make sure those new ideals are actually worth pursuing, before doing anything drastic.

Neutral

Rationally, you can understand to achieve new heights, you'll have to let go of some of your old securities. But you will need time to make that step.

Negative

You've waited and doubted for long enough now. It's time to make a choice about the next step(s) in your life.

2 of Pentacles

Explanation

The 2 of Pentacles is an assignment number card, and the assignment here is to maintain a happy and relaxed attitude during a wait for results of what you started.

Meaning

Positive

You might be able to do some preliminary work while you wait. Try to relax a bit as well.

Neutral

You've started something that now practically requires you to wait a bit for results to come in. This gives you the chance to relax, and to do some final polishing as well.

Negative

You don't actually have to wait for results right now, you can proceed with your efforts, perhaps from a different angle.

5 of Swords

Explanation

The 5 of Swords is about facing reality. The 5 is an assignment number, and in the slighly more difficult suit of Swords, it means you face a difficult challenge where your past experiences could hold you down.

Meaning

Positive

Try to figure out what it is that keeps you held down, then turn this weakness to a strength for dealing with the situations just ahead.

Neutral

You're working on new problems on your road to your ideal, but something from your past could be holding you down. Don't give up because of this, try to adapt to conquer the next problems on your road.

Negative

Try to let the past rest, and focus completely on what's ahead with as clean a slate as possible. The past is too much of an anchor on your leg right now.

6 of Wands

Explanation

The 6 of Wands represents victory (over yourself maybe). 6 is the number that represents the rewards of hard work, which you did in card 5. When a 6 of Wands is in your game, you might be feeling a little proud with your accomplishments. But some modesty might help you shine even better.

Meaning

Positive

Ok, show a little pride with your accomplishments. Nothing wrong with that.

Neutral

Showing self-confidence after your recent victory, means that others might recognize your achievement as well, and grant you the kinds of vibes that will further increase your self-esteem. Be careful not to fall off the horse though!

Negative

Now might not be the best time to show too much pride over something that others might not think as valuable as you do.

Reading : Ladder

The 'Ladder' reading is a structured piece of advice to the questioner. It shows you how to proceed from an issue indicated by card 1 to the intermediate goal indicated by card 7.

Cards 2 through 6 indicate usually the easiest path toward the intermediate goal of card 7.

• Card 1 is turned first, and indicates an important issue or problem or choice facing the questioner.
• Card 7 is turned second, and indicates what the reader has to do or grow towards to overcome what's indicated by card 1.
• Cards 2 to 6 are the advice cards that can help you reach the goal indicated by card 7. They are to be taken sequentially, so see if you can improve yourself with the tip of card 2 first, then card 3, etc.
