"Coming Full Circle"
1. The Shadow Card VI of Wands shows a Warrior Knight on his horse named Endurance with an ugly witch hovering over his head, wielding a broom.
Victory will come but at a high price. Our ability to endure will be of immense importance as we will not win unless we all are committed to doing so.
The witch represents The Dark Side of our Psyches (Our Shadow Side) and came across as "Fury" along with "All Hell's About to Break Loose".
Normally a witch is pictured riding a broom using it as transportation but, not here. This time she is raging and using the full force of her broom as a club, (clubs are the equivalent of the Tarot suit of Wands) as a weapon (payback? revenge? blackmail? a trap?) or planning a surprise attack (as she is above the Knight and he is unable to see her).
Make note of this. This is not vague symbolism but a strong message indicating that she (whoever "she" represents) is willing to do anything, use any means and resources necessary in order to defeat the opposition.
1st row Left Past: The IX of Pentacles shows a woman oblivious to the world (secure in her own little comfort zone, ignoring the plight of others), with no worries at all as she has everything she wants: money, food, luxury items, security shelter and protection.
But note the spider pin in her hair. The spider symbolizes awareness but, for some reason, she is oblivious and unaware as she is unable or unwilling to see the storm churning in the sky behind her.
A trained falcon is also perched on her hand. Falconry is the hunting of wild animals by means of a trained bird of prey. I thought this interesting because a falcon can attack with no warning at all (it just comes out of the blue) and up to speeds of 200 mph as it hones in and dive bombs its prey. This meaning came through as drones, missiles, directed energy and sudden death.
1st row Middle Present: The Page of Wands is sending a message. It is asking us to become aware and prepare. It also represents Precognition as The Page can see what's coming, we can't. The minute I turned this card over the message immediately came through, "Buckle Up Cupcake."
1st row Right Destination (Where We're Headed): The King of Wands stands for taking matters into your own hands, focus, determination, bravery, valor and getting the job done. This card is telling us in order to succeed and overcome we need to prepare and do whatever is necessary.
2nd row Right Hidden is IV The Emperor: The Emperor stands for authority and power. He will, like the King of Wands, get the job done and is unafraid of anything that gets in his way as his motto is, "Failure Is Not an Option." He could also be defined as The Punisher.
Note the chandelier hanging behind him as it represents status, glamour, class and wealth. Also note the skulls lying at his feet. Skulls symbolize death and danger, something he is prepared for.
2nd row Middle Advice: VI The Lovers Card depicts two people one of which definitely has misgivings about the other. Note the moon in the background which looks like an all seeing eye in the act of studying them and conducting a deep and penetrating examination of their psyches. Maybe she caught onto this message and has decided she's not going to be railroaded into doing something she isn't 100% sure of as all is not what it seems.
Note: I'm really unsure as to how this card plays out with respect to all the others but know there's a meaning hidden in here and it will come to the surface at the appropriate time.
2nd row Left Outcome: VI of Swords means after a difficult journey, a smooth passage awaits us as we are able to move on and away from our difficulties.
This is a very positive card.

The bottom card is X of Pentacles (The Confirmation Card) and sums up the reading. It shows a young couple who obviously enjoy each others company. It looks like they have been on the road for some time (as he is wearing a backpack) and have finally completed their journey, doing what they wanted and seeing all that was to be seen and are ready to come home. We see a rather interesting old man, completely harmless, opening the door to let them in. We see the warmth emanating out of the doorway as they wait to enter. A dog (loyalty) walks out to greet them.
They have come full circle and are now ready to finally come home.
Maybe this is the VI The Lovers Card where the man and woman out their differences, came together and formed a relationship.
Message: We will come full circle as we forge through what lies ahead of us, learning to cope and endure and growing as we grapple with all the things being thrown our way. And, We will prevail.
During this difficult period we will learn the important things in life as we grow closer together and come together, embracing each other without looking at what color we are or where we came from.
We will learn the true meaning of Life on this planet and it is all about Love.
The numerical value of this reading is 4: Something that lasts: Structure and Foundation the result of desire, imagination and work.
