Queen of Swords

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Astrological Correspondence: (Aquarius)

Keywords: A mature woman, possibly a widow or divorcee.

IIII of Coins

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: Hold on to what you have, lean times, financial restrictions.

Description: The Four of Coins means that we should hold on to money and possessions because either the venture is not sound or present wealth will be needed at a later date. Rather than spend, spend, spend it is far better to save, save, save for that rainy day that will inevitably come.

X The Wheel of Fortune

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Astrological Correspondence: Jupiter

Keywords: unexpected change, good fortune, becoming master of one's own destiny 

Description: The Wheel of Fortune symbolises the ever changing cycle of life, wins and losses, ups and downs, unexpected luck, advancements and setbacks, success and failure - the duality of things. Representing a breakthrough, a fortunate set of circumstances, the energies of the turning wheel also suggest incalculability, chance, surprise, rapid change and fate ending problematic times, heralding good fortune, and stimulating development and growth. As one of the cards not showing a human figure at its centre, the Wheel of Fortune represents our uncovering of life's cycles and patterns, the discovery of our purpose in life, and the realisation that nothing is permanent, everything is always in flux.

Upright Associations: Destiny, unexpected fortune or effortless success. Advancement, progress and the resolution of problems. The beginning of a new cycle or phase.

In a negative situation the card can resemble failure, misfortune, gambling excess, and a turn for the worse.

Reversed Associations: Bad luck, a change for the worse, obstacles, rivalry, materialism. A change in luck and circumstances, fighting against change.

VIII of Swords

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: restrictions, entrapment.

Description: The Eight of Swords indicates a type of bondage. This bondage is likely to be verbal in nature as the person in question is not able to say what is on his or her mind. There seems to be a sense of entrapment where the person is not able to move because of prevailing circumstances that are the result of decisions made in the past. A run of bad luck, and so, much patient effort is needed to get out of this difficult situation. Help is available if you can forget pride and ask for it. Restrictions will gradually fade.

Upright Associations: Restricted action, indecision, temporary weakness. Jealousy of colleagues. Fear, self-restriction, being bound to expectations, isolation, inhibition. Playing the martyr.

Reversed Associations: Difficulties, an accident, an unexpected event, feelings of frustration, restrictions being lifted, moving on. Release, quarrels finding your voice.

XII The Hanged Man

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: stop, retreat, reflect (change point of view), observe, meditate

Description: The Hanged Man is an unsettling, mysterious card, because it symbolises the reversal of our life situations, all contradictions we face in ourselves and in life in general, paradox in action. Although the Hanged Man seems restricted and helpless, he looks calm and relaxed. 

In this position the card represents the rational mind being turned off, acceptance of a new situation, a unique point of view, reflection and serenity. Deeply thoughtful he seems to have reached a higher consciousness. By letting go and giving up, as painful as it may be, this symbolism suggests that we can overcome restrictions, find what we have been looking for, and ultimately become free, self-determined beings.

Upright Associations: Adaptability to change, reversal, transformation, pausing to reflect. Rebirth, readjustment, suspension. Sacrificing one thing to obtain another. Stepping back to leap.

In a negative setting the symbolism suggests manipulation, passivity, useless sacrifice, and apathy.

Reversed Associations: Crime and punishment, pain, selfishness, the sacrifice of success, surrender. A great contentment in life. Materialism, need for approval.

Upright Associations: Imminent change, and the need and ability to maintain harmony while juggling with different aspects of the situation. Flexibility, fun, playfulness.

Reversed Associations: Superficial harmony, artificial happiness, letters. Over: burdened, worked, playfulness. Carefree, careless, immature, inflexible.
