Message:
The Queen of Pentacles symbolizes Home, Hearth and Motherhood. However the shadow side of the Queen represents just the opposite. This Queen seems startled while looking at the picture hanging on the wall. Clearly she's walked by it many times so why now? Could it be that she is finally connecting with those she rules over? The young girl in the picture is baring one breast (showing "availability" possibly as a prostitute in order to put food on the table) and pulling a piece of cloth over her. It looks like a funerary shroud which was used to cover a corpse before burial. Maybe she knows that she can't handle much more abuse and hardship and is making preparations. Note the whip (used for flagellation) on the table to her left and the skull.
The shroud symbolizes she is already dead not only in her body but in her heart and mind. The whip has a long history of being used for punishment and abuse. The skull is a symbol that all things change and transition.
Maybe this powerful Queen who is addicted to power and the finer things in life is finally getting the message - to be more supportive, more compassionate and more in tune with the needs of those who come to her for advice, comfort and aid.
This card can also, collectively, symbolize an elite and very powerful cabal that rules over Mankind today, who use every opportunity to abuse and punish those who won't comply with their malefic agenda.
The Past is XVI The Tower. This time the tower came through as the word, "collapse." What are we witnessing today? Everything we've come to rely on, people, car dealerships, availability of food, even our own healthcare system, is collapsing. But, remember the skull that symbolizes transition meaning "changing from one position to another". Keep in mind that all we're seeing, living through right now is paving the way toward a more beneficial way of living for all people on this planet.
The Present is The King of Wands. This card represents STABILITY. Stability in the midst of chaos. Now it could represent a person, a leader, or it could represent you, asking that you find that place inside you where you feel safe in order to ride out the storm.
The Destination Card is the X of Swords. Tens in Tarot represent completion; a new cycle is beginning but the pain, the loss and the sorrow is not over. We all will be experiencing this card in one way or another as many already have in the days to come.

2nd row Right Hidden is the VIII of Cups. This card is telling all of us it is time to move on. Start by understanding that the old is passing away (remember the X of Swords - Tens in Tarot represent completion and a new cycle beginning) as the old cycle is dying, no longer working or needed. A new way of living is being prepared for us so start looking ahead and not back.
2nd row Middle Advice is the Page of Wands. This time the young page came across as, "If I can do it, you can too." She is advising us to "Be steadfast and Unafraid" for "The L-rd Thy G-d is With Thee".
2nd row Left Outcome is the VIII of Pentacles. This card shows a young girl lovingly carrying a doll away. Note in the background the aura of death and depression permeating this card as we see an old man glaring after her because he failed in his attempts to make money and get her hooked by one of the more sinister creatures hanging in his shop. He obviously doesn't care about her feelings but only in the money he could make, the drugs he could sell or the malevolent Puppet Master he could hook her up with.
Even though she's just a young girl, she instinctively knew what she wanted. She chose Life and Happiness, over Death as a Puppet being jerked around on a string. But this didn't come easily as she had to plan, persevere and work hard by sacrificing and saving up enough money.
Remember, hard work, planning and preparation are crucial to success - Believe in Yourself.
*The numerical value of this reading is a 6: The ability to transcend difficulties
