The Past
Four of Wands
The Four of Wands indicates the joy of coming together for a purpose and the growth and happiness that can result. A surprise or thrill out of the blue may be in store for you. You may meet someone unexpectedly. Planned celebrations or the freedom of building something together with someone are also indicated. Build it together and you will reap abundance.
Reversed you may find an obstacle blocking you from happiness. A surprise may bring both happiness and sorrow or dissatisfaction. Look to the surprise for its surprise, and amend your soil with the newness alone, letting the sorrow and dissatisfaction fall away at most as compost, more probably as chaff.
The Present
Seven of Pentacles
The 7 of Pentacles indicates that the hard work has been done. It is time for quiet watchfulness, gestation, letting things develop. Tangible material success in some form is on its way.
Visualise wonderful outcomes and let them come as they may. Do not be attached to the outcomes. Be attached to being delightfully surprised. Use this time wisely by being actively invigorated!
The Future
Five of Cups
The 5 of Cups indicates rough, turbulent, or confusing times. Possible loss, or loss already occurred are also indicated. Cups indicate that all is not lost, though. Like the seagull seeing something positive in the tumultuous sea, hope for the future and treasure discovered in your emotions is indicated.
Reversal often indicates the presence of a similar but inner, aspect streaming in the unconscious.
