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.
Five of Pentacles
Upright
Financial loss, poverty, lack mindset, isolation, worry
The Five of Pentacles card symbolizes loss and poverty. Particularly when it comes to your finances and physical properties, you are hitting tough times. You may have lately lost your work, your house, or your economic security. This is a Minor Arcana card with short effects and it will pass.
In this time of poverty, the Five of Pentacles shows that you feel lonely and discarded. Similarly to the two people on the card, you feel as if you have been abandoned in the cold However, as the light from windows is lit up, help is approaching, but you are too focused on your difficulties to see.
Sometimes, the Five of Pentacles hints that you are undermining your capacity to create wealth because you only concentrate on what you miss and what is going wrong. To change this energy, search for proof of what you do own, and show your thankfulness for those advantages in your life. The good aspects will increase by time and, ‘need’ will be a thing of history.
Furthermore, the Five of Pentacles implies that you worry you don’t possess fairly or you may lose things valuable to you – even if it hasn’t occurred still or is absurd. If you continue thinking about all the negative stuff that might occur, then your manifesting energies may start to produce the results that you don’t like.
Reversed
Recovery from financial loss, spiritual poverty
The reversed Five of Pentacles shows an end to difficult times, particularly if you have recently experienced a major job or finances problem. You may find new origins of revenue or a new job. Eventually, you can see a way out of your economic problems and your confidence is restored.
The reversed Five of Pentacles can sometimes explain the resolution of emotional poverty. You may feel like something is missing but it is hard to put your finger on what it might be. You may also feel alone, even in a group of people.
If you find your obsession with physical possessions is creating harm to your soul, then it’s time to end. Even if you have little money, you may still have a caring family and a beating heart. Yes, everything sucks right now, but if you hear these scarcity thoughts coming through in your mind, pause for a second and question whether this is the fact or a limiting view. Trust that the Divine is here to help you, particularly when you are pursuing your inner calling and your life mission. When you actually appreciate something, you’ll make it occur.
Page of Swords
Upright
New ideas, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, new ways of communicating
The Page of Swords card shows a person with enthusiasm and motivation. When this card appears in a Tarot reading, you are full of new plans for the future. You may be thrilled about starting a new project, attempting a new method or learning something fresh. You feel as like you could do practically anything. The difficulty is whether you can continue it. As with all Page cards, the start always looks encouraging, but you need something else to keep up the movement.
The Page of Swords often appears when you are discovering a new way of thinking. You have a questioning mind and a desire for learning. You may be likely to make errors along the way, but you are excited to learn from your mistakes.
As the Swords cards link to communication, the Page of Swords implies that you are finding a distinctive way of expressing your thoughts and communicating your opinions.

Reversed
Self-expression, all talk and no action, haphazard action, haste
The reversed Page of Swords can show up in a Tarot reading when you are staying back from communicating your truth, particularly in a public discussion. You like to declare your opinions personally or anonymously. Maybe you like to keep a secret journal, or you’re writing a text just for yourself.
Sometimes, the reversed Page of Swords can indicate that you just speak without any action. Be cautious about making false commitments or saying something which you’ll later change. This reversed Page may try to surprise you with big stories, however, you later find out are great distortions of the truth.

You may just be attempting to understand a circumstance or a thought better, there are more effective methods to go about it. Be aware of how you may come to others and only inquiry about those ideas that are essential to you.
