[Tarot Card Information]
These are cards I get QUITE OFTEN in Tarot readings. If you do not get any of these cards, this probably won't be of interest to you. I spent a lot of time gathering TONS of information on 7 particular cards: King & Queen Of Cups, King & Queen Of Swords, 9 Of Swords, The Tower, & The Hanged Man are the cards I have on this page. I have gathered all this information from various sites.

- The Hanged Man:
letting go
having an emotional release
accepting what is
surrendering to experience
ending the struggle
being vulnerable and open
giving up control
accepting God's will
reversing
turning the world around
changing your mind
overturning old priorities
seeing from a new angle
upending the old order
doing an about-face
suspending action
pausing to reflect
feeling outside of time
taking time to just be
giving up urgency
living in the moment
waiting for the best opportunity
sacrificing
being a martyr
renouncing a claim
putting self-interest aside
going one step back to go two steps forward
giving up for a higher cause
putting others first
- The Hanged Man is one of the most mysterious cards in the tarot deck. It is simple, but complex. It attracts, but also disturbs. It contradicts itself in countless ways. The Hanged Man is unsettling because it symbolizes the action of paradox in our lives. A paradox is something that appears contradictory, and yet is true. The Hanged Man presents to us certain truths, but they are hidden in their opposites.
The main lesson of the Hanged Man is that we "control" by letting go - we "win" by surrendering. The figure on Card 12 has made the ultimate surrender - to die on the cross of his own travails - yet he shines with the glory of divine understanding. He has sacrificed himself, but he emerges the victor. The Hanged Man also tells us that we can "move forward" by standing still. By suspending time, we can have all the time in the world.
In readings, the Hanged Man reminds us that the best approach to a problem is not always the most obvious. When we most want to force our will on someone, that is when we should release. When we most want to have our own way, that is when we should sacrifice. When we most want to act, that is when we should wait. The irony is that by making these contradictory moves, we find what we are looking for.
- The Hanged Man: LETTING GO, REVERSAL, SUSPENSION, SACRIFICE

- The Tower:
going through SUDDEN CHANGE
experiencing upheaval
having plans disrupted
being surprised
undergoing a crisis
having routines shaken up
being in chaos
releasing
exploding
having an emotional outburst
erupting in anger
crashing through ego defenses
breaking through pretense
letting everything go
falling down
being humbled
experiencing a crash
toppling from the heights
having a downturn in fortune
suffering a blow to the ego
having a revelation
suddenly realizing the truth
exposing what was hidden
having a burst of insight
seeing through illusions
getting the answer
seeing everything in a flash
- The Tower is an unsettling card. Fire, lightning, falling on jagged rocks - definitely looks like trouble!
Card 16 will not be welcomed by those who dislike change. It represents a sudden, dramatic upheaval or reversal in fortune. Usually change is gradual, giving us time to adapt, but sometimes it is quick and explosive. This is the action of the Tower. In films, the hero sometimes slaps someone who is groggy or babbling. Having tried everything else, he finally resorts to a sharp sting to snap him out of it. Sudden crises are life's way of telling you to wake up. Something's wrong, and you're not responding. Are you too full of pride? Expect a blow to your ego. Are you holding back your anger? Expect the dam to burst. Are you stuck in a rut? Expect a surprise.
How you respond to the Tower's change makes all the difference in how uncomfortable the experience will be. Recognize that the disruption occurred because it was needed. Perhaps embracing the change is too much to ask, but try to find the positive in it. In fact, you may feel tremendous release that you have finally been forced in a new direction. You may have a burst of insight about your situation and reach a new level of understanding about it.
- The Tower: SUDDEN CHANGE, RELEASE, DOWNFALL, REVELATION

- The Cups are the suit of emotions and spiritual experience. They describe inner states, feelings and relationship patterns. The energy of this suit flows inward. Cups correspond to the yin, or feminine principle, in Chinese philosophy and are associated with the element Water. The ability of water to flow and fill up spaces, to sustain and to reflect changing moods makes it the ideal symbol of the Cups suit.
- Cups correspond to the element of female water. They represent emotions, relationships, love, and intuition. The shielding nature of a cup also associates it with things hidden.
- Suit Qualities Of Cups: POSITIVE: aesthetic affectionate agreeable amiable benevolent calm caring compassionate concerned considerate diplomatic dreamy emotional empathetic forbearing gentle good-hearted gracious healing humane imaginative inner intimate introspective intuitive joyful kind loving mellow merciful mild nice pacific patient peaceful perceptive psychic quiet refined responsive romantic sensitive soft spiritual subjective sweet sympathetic telepathic tenderhearted tolerant understanding wise
NEGATIVE: broody delicate doleful escapist fanciful fragile frail gushy huffy hypersensitive hysterical impressionable indolent introverted lazy maudlin melancholic mopish moody morose narcissistic overemotional overrefined petulant passive sulky sullen temperamental thin-skinned touchy vapory waspish wishy-washy
- The suit of Cups, being associated with the element Water is concerned with feelings, emotions, compassion, healing and the Lunar Principle. Intuitive-Feeling types express these principles. They are counselors, healers, poets and mystics. Their shadow casts itself over codependents, religious fanatics, manipulators of the mob and abusers of the feelings of others.
- NF = Intuitive-Feeling = Cups
- Cups build through emotional fulfillment.
- Cups - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
- Cups - light brown hair and brown/Hazel eyes, light complexion
- CUPS: WATER
Cups correspond to the element of female water. They represent emotions, relationships, love, and intuition. The shielding nature of a cup also associates it with things hidden, as true emotions usually are.
The element of Water adds emotions to the minor arcana. Water is a substance that flows to the lowest places, and it can be calm or stormy. Water can be represented by shallow puddles or by bottomless oceans. Emotions take on all of these qualities. The shape and status of water is dependent on its container and temperature.
We refer to the water element as the force of Soul or Emotion. Soul is, in part, the element of human nature which provides understanding and compassion for the feelings of others. People who are extremely connected to the water element are extremely sensitive to human sentiment and artistic expression. They can seep into the subconscious of others and instinctually, if not intellectually, understand the motives behind other people's actions
- As the "female-female" element, water embraces all of the qualities of the female energies. The element of water covers a majority of our planet, hiding the face of the earth from the view of all but a very few. The surface of dark pond hides depths that are not known. The still waters can be a few feet deep, or hundreds of feet deep. An emotional analogy can be drawn to this image.
Emotions are very difficult to judge by what is on the surface. Loves and hatreds can run very deep, and be very resistant to change.
- Cups Water Female Inner /Self Female/Female emotions, relationships, love, and intuition emotions, feelings
- Cups Emotions, desire, affairs of the heart, the inner self Water Summer
- The minor arcana brings universal themes down into the practical arena to show how they operate in daily events. The Cup cards represent the concerns, activities and emotions that make up the dramas of our everyday lives.
- Symbolism/Interpretation: Cards in the suit of Cups generally represent relationships, love, and intuition, emotional activity, feeling, spiritual experience, the subconscious mind, beauty, desire, spirit, fertility, abundance, happiness, the emotional fulfillments life can offer. The downside of the symbolism is that it represents all emotions, including anger, hate, and fear.
- Cups correspond to the element of female water, and to the yin, or feminine principle. The shielding nature of a cup also associates it with things hidden, as true emotions usually are. A full cup is emotional fulfillment. A dry cup means emotional depression. A cup runneth over represents emotional abundance. A closed cup is lack of emotional expression. The element of Water adds emotions to the minor arcana. The cabbalistic association of water is that of the Creative World, the level of intellect, of the Archangels. Water is a substance that flows to the lowest places, and it can be calm or stormy. Water can be represented by shallow puddles or by bottomless oceans. Emotions take on all of these qualities. The shape and status of water is dependent on its container and temperature. The ability of water to flow and fill up spaces, to sustain and to reflect changing moods makes it the ideal symbol of the Cups suit. We refer to the water element as the force of Soul or Emotion. Soul is, in part, the element of human nature which provides understanding and compassion for the feelings of others. People who are extremely connected to the water element are extremely sensitive to human sentiment and artistic expression. They can seep into the subconscious of others and instinctually, if not intellectually, understand the motives behind other people's actions.
- As the "male-male" element, Air is always in motion and is always being spent and then reborn to continue on. Never resting, never settled, it is no surprise that the suite associated with this element is seen to be martial and decisive in the majority of its faces.
- Symbolism/Interpretation: generally represent courage and boldness, strife and aggression, even hatred and enemies.
- Swords correspond to the element of male air. They represent the mind and intellect, communicating, and conflict.
The element of Air adds intellect and conscious thinking to the minor arcana. The mind is sword that cuts through ignorance, and it also slays a person and others. The element of air is the most removed from the element of Earth. Fire is dependent on Earth for fuel. Water is dependent on Earth for a place to rest. Air can exist without Earth. This nature analogy can be extended to the realm of our being. One can make decisions, and have thoughts, that are not based on reality, or grounded in practicality. Thoughts are like air: invisible, swift limitless. The thought that begins as a breeze quickly becomes a tornado, or escapes into the emptiness of space. Air is the most difficult element to contain, control, and quantity. The more we try to control our thoughts, the wilder they become. Meditation brings our thoughts back to a stable form. The purest forms of meditation seek not to contain, control, or quantify thoughts. Zen meditation instead acknowledges a thought, and allows for its natural departure. There is no counting of thoughts, no tally sheet of grievances and hurts.
The suit of Swords has traditionally had the darkest of reputations. There are more bad cards than good cards. It is my belief that this is a reflection of the turmoil people experience from the stresses of the mind. Thoughts are egocentric, and cannot join with others. When a person is operating in the realm of Air, they are furthest from the soothing womb of the Earth. We refer to the air element as the force of the Mind. People who are strongly influenced by the airy signs can be calm and refreshing as a cool breeze. But if their temper is raised, they react with gale-like force, shattering the tranquility of the world around them. Air is necessary to convey the words which one person uses to speak to another. It is in its aspect as a communicating and collectivizing agent that air has its most important function in astrology. Through air, Man can reach for ideas in the intuitive mind, and apply them in the realm of human experience. Mind is man's most important tool and the greatest danger at the same time.

- Kings, by nature, are, or need to be, Extraverts. They need the love, loyalty and yes, fear, of others. Their focus is outside of themselves. They also need order. Things must be settled.

[Tarot Card Information] These are cards I get QUITE OFTEN in Tarot readings. If you do not get any of these cards, this probably won't be of interest to you. I spent a lot of time gathering TONS of information on 7 particular cards: King & Queen Of Cups, King & Queen Of Swords, 9 Of Swords, The Tower, & The Hanged Man are the cards I have on this page. I have gathered all this information from various sites. - The Hanged Man: letting go having an emotional release accepting what is surrendering to experience ending the struggle being vulnerable and open giving up control accepting God's will reversing turning the world around changing your mind overturning old priorities seeing from a new angle upending the old order doing an about-face suspending action pausing to reflect feeling outside of time taking time to just be giving up urgency living in the moment waiting for the best opportunity sacrificing being a martyr renouncing a claim putting self-interest aside going one step back to go two steps forward giving up for a higher cause putting others first - The Hanged Man is one of the most mysterious cards in the tarot deck. It is simple, but complex. It attracts, but also disturbs. It contradicts itself in countless ways. The Hanged Man is unsettling because it symbolizes the action of paradox in our lives. A paradox is something that appears contradictory, and yet is true. The Hanged Man presents to us certain truths, but they are hidden in their opposites. The main lesson of the Hanged Man is that we "control" by letting go - we "win" by surrendering. The figure on Card 12 has made the ultimate surrender - to die on the cross of his own travails - yet he shines with the glory of divine understanding. He has sacrificed himself, but he emerges the victor. The Hanged Man also tells us that we can "move forward" by standing still. By suspending time, we can have all the time in the world. In readings, the Hanged Man reminds us that the best approach to a problem is not always the most obvious. When we most want to force our will on someone, that is when we should release. When we most want to have our own way, that is when we should sacrifice. When we most want to act, that is when we should wait. The irony is that by making these contradictory moves, we find what we are looking for. - The Hanged Man: LETTING GO, REVERSAL, SUSPENSION, SACRIFICE - The Tower: going through SUDDEN CHANGE experiencing upheaval having plans disrupted being surprised undergoing a crisis having routines shaken up being in chaos releasing exploding having an emotional outburst erupting in anger crashing through ego defenses breaking through pretense letting everything go falling down being humbled experiencing a crash toppling from the heights having a downturn in fortune suffering a blow to the ego having a revelation suddenly realizing the truth exposing what was hidden having a burst of insight seeing through illusions getting the answer seeing everything in a flash - The Tower is an unsettling card. Fire, lightning, falling on jagged rocks - definitely looks like trouble! Card 16 will not be welcomed by those who dislike change. It represents a sudden, dramatic upheaval or reversal in fortune. Usually change is gradual, giving us time to adapt, but sometimes it is quick and explosive. This is the action of the Tower. In films, the hero sometimes slaps someone who is groggy or babbling. Having tried everything else, he finally resorts to a sharp sting to snap him out of it. Sudden crises are life's way of telling you to wake up. Something's wrong, and you're not responding. Are you too full of pride? Expect a blow to your ego. Are you holding back your anger? Expect the dam to burst. Are you stuck in a rut? Expect a surprise. How you respond to the Tower's change makes all the difference in how uncomfortable the experience will be. Recognize that the disruption occurred because it was needed. Perhaps embracing the change is too much to ask, but try to find the positive in it. In fact, you may feel tremendous release that you have finally been forced in a new direction. You may have a burst of insight about your situation and reach a new level of understanding about it. - The Tower: SUDDEN CHANGE, RELEASE, DOWNFALL, REVELATION - The Cups are the suit of emotions and spiritual experience. They describe inner states, feelings and relationship patterns. The energy of this suit flows inward.

The element of Water adds emotions to the minor arcana. Water is a substance that flows to the lowest places, and it can be calm or stormy. Water can be represented by shallow puddles or by bottomless oceans. Emotions take on all of these qualities. The shape and status of water is dependent on its container and temperature. We refer to the water element as the force of Soul or Emotion. Soul is, in part, the element of human nature which provides understanding and compassion for the feelings of others. People who are extremely connected to the water element are extremely sensitive to human sentiment and artistic expression. They can seep into the subconscious of others and instinctually, if not intellectually, understand the motives behind other people's actions - As the "female-female" element, water embraces all of the qualities of the female energies. The element of water covers a majority of our planet, hiding the face of the earth from the view of all but a very few. The surface of dark pond hides depths that are not known. The still waters can be a few feet deep, or hundreds of feet deep. An emotional analogy can be drawn to this image. Emotions are very difficult to judge by what is on the surface. Loves and hatreds can run very deep, and be very resistant to change. - Cups Water Female Inner /Self Female/Female emotions, relationships, love, and intuition emotions, feelings - Cups Emotions, desire, affairs of the heart, the inner self Water Summer - The minor arcana brings universal themes down into the practical arena to show how they operate in daily events.

Never resting, never settled, it is no surprise that the suite associated with this element is seen to be martial and decisive in the majority of its faces. - Symbolism/Interpretation: generally represent courage and boldness, strife and aggression, even hatred and enemies. - Swords correspond to the element of male air. They represent the mind and intellect, communicating, and conflict. The element of Air adds intellect and conscious thinking to the minor arcana. The mind is sword that cuts through ignorance, and it also slays a person and others. The element of air is the most removed from the element of Earth. Fire is dependent on Earth for fuel. Water is dependent on Earth for a place to rest. Air can exist without Earth. This nature analogy can be extended to the realm of our being. One can make decisions, and have thoughts, that are not based on reality, or grounded in practicality. Thoughts are like air: invisible, swift limitless. The thought that begins as a breeze quickly becomes a tornado, or escapes into the emptiness of space. Air is the most difficult element to contain, control, and quantity. The more we try to control our thoughts, the wilder they become. Meditation brings our thoughts back to a stable form. The purest forms of meditation seek not to contain, control, or quantify thoughts. Zen meditation instead acknowledges a thought, and allows for its natural departure. There is no counting of thoughts, no tally sheet of grievances and hurts. The suit of Swords has traditionally had the darkest of reputations. There are more bad cards than good cards. It is my belief that this is a reflection of the turmoil people experience from the stresses of the mind. Thoughts are egocentric, and cannot join with others. When a person is operating in the realm of Air, they are furthest from the soothing womb of the Earth. We refer to the air element as the force of the Mind. People who are strongly influenced by the airy signs can be calm and refreshing as a cool breeze. But if their temper is raised, they react with gale-like force, shattering the tranquility of the world around them. Air is necessary to convey the words which one person uses to speak to another. It is in its aspect as a communicating and collectivizing agent that air has its most important function in astrology. Through air, Man can reach for ideas in the intuitive mind, and apply them in the realm of human experience. Mind is man's most important tool and the greatest danger at the same time. - Swords Air Male Outer/Others Male/Male the mind and intellect, communicating, and conflict indication of trouble and problems - Swords The intellect, left brain thinking, strife, upcoming ideas Air Winter - SWORDS: AIR Swords correspond to the element of male air.
