Good Luck Coming Your Way: Tarot Pick a Card
If you’re feeling down lately, it’s good to know what good luck is on the horizon. With this tarot pick a card, it’s easy: all you must do is select one of the card piles above that’s most inviting according to your intuition.
Once you’ve selected your cards, choose below or scroll down to your pile.
Remember this is a general tarot reading, so take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. You also have free will and can use your reading to your strategic advantage, making what you want to happen come true and avoiding what you don’t.
Now on to your cards!
Pile 1
Your Waning Moon card is a peaceful, winter night. I sense that a lot of your troubles are ending and all the stress you’re feeling will fade away.
And you really need this because it’s starting to affect your health.
How that’s going to happen is like this: the Knight of Swords, Reversed tells me that someone in your life is causing a lot of drama. Whether you like this person or not, that’s making it difficult to rely on or trust them. Right now, they’re making whatever situation you’re in so much worse.
This card reminds me of a person who says something to rile someone else or a political junkie who thrives on conflict, even with family and friends. They want to win a verbal battle even if it hurts their relationships.
I don’t even need to predict this: you probably have someone in your life exactly like that – we all do. However, this type of person has a lot of power because of social media and lockdowns, so I believe you’re one of the people who is being more affected by these drama fiends than most.
But it’s going to be okay.
Although the Knight of Swords, Reversed can be intelligent, they don’t use their communication skills to uplift or heal others. Instead, they use their words to hurt and put up a shield to deflect any blame on themselves.
However, notice your third card, the Four of Pentacles. See how calm and reassured the man is in the picture? This is the card of stability and having access to all the resources you need.
He’s also sitting far away from the town. While this card can be interpreted in a negative light, I see this distance as a good thing in your spread when paired with the Waning Moon card and the Knight of Swords, Reversed.
You need that distance from the person in your life that’s causing you pain, and you’re about to get it. With that distance, this hurtful person will no longer be able to sling words at you and cause needless drama.
If you’re having trouble securing this peaceful retreat for yourself, brainstorm some ways that you can step away from this person. If they’re someone you work with, for example, try not to hang out in the same place at the office or avoid responding to them remotely unless absolutely necessary. A friend? Try not doing things together for a while.
This is trickier if it’s family, especially someone you live with, but making sure to walk away when certain topics come up or skipping a contentious meal can do a lot to prevent you from losing your mind.
You deserve it. You don’t exist to be a character in that person’s tragic comedy.
Pile 2
It seems like you’re going to feel a great passion in your life soon. The New Moon in Aquarius marks an energetic cycle of the Moon where we do something we love, no matter what people think.
But this personal passion of yours isn’t a selfish one: you’re going to give back.
That may not sound like good luck, but those who do something for others tend to be more fulfilled than those who only do something for themselves.
So what does that passion project of yours look like?
The Five of Swords is traditionally a sword of conflict and loss, but there’s an additional meaning to that interpretation which I think is even more important for you: see how the man appears victorious in battle? I sense you’re going to prevent something disastrous from happening to another person.
Perhaps you’ll stop a fight or you’ll protect someone from being hurt. Whatever it is, you’re going to take away all the weapons another person uses before things get out of hand.
There’s another card in your spread and I find it especially intriguing: the Ace of Wands, Reversed generally means a creative block, but I feel as if the good luck that’s coming your way is going to result in a creative transformation.
That disastrous event you’re going to stop will inspire you. When it happens, you need to make sure you document your reactions and your feelings as best as you can. Journal, keep mementos – whatever seems most appropriate in the aftermath. This will be your creative fuel for a long time.
Because your spread has two steps, that tells me your good luck is conditional. The only way you’re going to receive the fortunate blessing of creative inspiration is if you listen to the universe’s call to step in when you’re needed.
And this makes a lot of sense. The sign of Aquarius is known for being a humanitarian, even if they’re a bit quirky. They tend to advance society and help the culture progress in ways the other signs can’t.
That means you might be the only person who can prevent this disaster. Let’s just take a moment here and appreciate the gravity of what you’re being asked: it’s not going to be easy because you’re going to be the first one to step up and may not have backup.
Now when I say disaster, I don’t necessarily mean a major international event or even an actual natural disaster. The suit of swords is generally about verbal or relationship arguments because of the sharp words or cruel deeds other people do.
Be on the lookout for anyone who may be suffering in a relationship or other abuse. Get them help in a manner that is safe for both of you.
I suspect this event will likely inspire you to continue helping others. Your passion project, inspired under the New Moon of Aquarius, is likely a humanitarian cause you’ll care about for the rest of your life.
Pile 3
Everyone has a destiny, and it seems like yours is coming full circle.
The Full Moon card is about culmination and heightened manifestation. A lot of people fear their destiny, but the two other cards I pulled are very positive. You have nothing to fear and everything to gain with the good luck coming your way.
But what is that luck? I have even better news: it’s something you’ve been working toward for a long time!
The Knight of Pentacles is frequently considered a “boring” card because it’s the hard worker of the tarot. This knight is about the slow and steady pace towards a long-term project or career. Sometimes, that hard work isn’t very tempting and anyone who pulls this card is likely to sigh in disappointment because of the implied delay towards getting what’s desired.
Not this time. Your Full Moon card is clear that the wait is over, especially with the Six of Wands also in your spread.
Anyone who works towards a goal, especially a career goal which is normally indicated by the Knight of Pentacles, wants to receive recognition for what they’ve done. And that’s exactly what the Six of Wands card is.
See how the rider parades triumphantly in front of an adoring crowd? This isn’t a shallow victory for you, but one that you fundamentally deserve. All your hard work is about to be rewarded.
However, that doesn’t mean you should rest on your laurels. Even though good luck is coming your way, giving up now could mean you don’t run the last mile needed to cross the finish line. The Knight of Pentacles isn’t an easy card, but it’s a fair one: work hard, and the investment will pay off.
But beyond telling you that your career is likely to reach a fortunate milestone, I want to go back to the Full Moon card.
This spread is telling you that not only is it worthwhile, but it’s part of your life purpose. So take a good, long look at the projects you’re part of right now, whether it’s your career or a side hustle, and be open to any opportunity that comes your way.
While that can be easy for a career you’re already a part of, a side hustle or other financial venture isn’t as certain. We tend to focus more on our careers than the other projects in our lives, so if you’re one of these people, make sure you aren’t missing crucial windows to take these secondary projects to the next level.
You’re not only being given good luck in these ventures, but you’re also being given permission and acknowledgment that what you’re doing is the right thing. That’s even more important than a lucky break.
