Two Cards
If you are trying to make a very important decision in your life and you don’t know which path to follow, if you are really doubtful about the consequences the crossroads tarot spread will help you to find your way.
Temperance
Upright
Balance, moderation, patience, purpose
Temperance is the card for making balance into your life. It is time to stabilize your energy and to allow the life force to flow through you without additional effort. Recover flow and you can get your life back into harmony.
This card invites you to stay calm, even when life feels stressful. Maintain an even temper and watch your emotions. You have learned to keep prepared in harsh situations. Little details don’t get to you, because of your rich patience. Your respect for tranquillity is what will help you feel fulfillment in your life.
The Temperance card invites you to take the middle path and receive all viewpoints. It’s not the time to be extremely stubborn. Be the observer and try to avoid any extremes.
This Tarot card is about alchemy by mixing and combining different components in a way that produces something new.
The Temperance card explains that you have a pure sight of what you want to accomplish. Don’t rush things; you should take your time to guarantee that you do the best of you. You know you need a gentle, guided strategy to reach your aims.
Finally, this card indicates very important knowledge. You are achieving a big understanding of where you are at peace with what you are doing. Your intuition is leading you to the result, and you are calmly following.
Reversed
Imbalance, excess, self-healing, re-alignment
If you’re undergoing a phase of dissipation, the Reversed Temperance card is your signal to recover balance as soon as possible. You may have been eating too much, habitually drinking, over-buying, or involving in negative thinking patterns. These activities are taking you further away from your true self. So, it is time to stop and bring your life back into balance.
The reversed Temperance card could also be a warning you feel that something is ‘absent’ in your life, producing tension. Life is not progressing as smoothly as you had expected or you feel that something is not right. You can carry on with life as normal by ignoring it. But, you should notice Temperance’s lesson: If you wait in this situation for too long, that voice will just get louder. Or, you can accept it now and make the required improvements to discover your flow again.
The reversed Temperance card could be an invitation for healing and re-examining your life priorities. By building more stability and balance in your life, you open the possibility of adjusting your higher vibration.
Queen of Cups
Upright
Compassionate, caring, emotionally stable, intuitive, in flow
The Queen of Cups is caring, kind and sensitive. When you see her in a Tarot reading, you are embracing her ‘nourishing’ energy. You are listening with your heart and caring people strongly. You are empathic and can feel the needs of others by attuning into your heart, and you keep the space for others to show their emotions.
The Queen of Cups tells you are very intuitive, artistic, and in tune with the energies around. In your communications with others, you can simply know other people to get a feeling of how to interact efficiently. Other people may come to you to reveal their problems about the emotional level. They believe you and understand that you always have the right answer. You see the Divine in everyone you see.
In your creative plans and efforts, you sense your step into them, trusting your heart to guide you on the right path. You know when something is ‘wrong’, and you notice this, even if it doesn’t make logical sense. You may be in harmony with the lunar cycles, using these cycles to manifest your purposes and live your desires.
Sometimes the Queen of Cups hints that you are being asked to trust your inner voice and pay awareness to your feelings. Act with your heart, not your head. Be open to receiving intuitive messages streaming to you through your dreams or meditation.
Reversed
Inner feelings, self-care, self-love, co-dependency
When the reversed Queen of Cups appears in a Tarot reading, you need to bring your awareness inwards and focus on your emotional self. You’re amazing at taking care of other people – but now it’s time to take care of Yourself. This card implies that you are emotionally exhausted because you have been so occupied helping others, but not yourself. You may need to set clear limits with people so that they understand you love them but will not take on their emotional baggage. They are responsible for their life experiences, and they need to go on their own mission to learn.
The reversed Queen of Cups could mean you have created a co-dependent connection that is not good for either person. Review your relationships and see where you can build a healthy distance.
The reversed Queen of Cups is often a warning that your intuition is powerful right now, however, you should give yourself the time to listen.
In some cases, the reversed Queen of Cups is a signal that you are allowing your emotions to rule over you. Be mindful not to let your emotions catch your life in such a way that you are losing control and outlook. Find a quiet space to be centered and calm your soul.
Sometimes, the reversed Queen of Cups implies that you may be out of touch with your emotions or holding them deep inside. You may try to prove yourself, instead of bottling up your emotions. If you do not connect these emotional problems, they will reach a boiling limit.
