WANDS

Wands represent activity, ideas, work (labor or business), social settings.

It depicts ideas, energy expanded, actions taken.

It is what "motivates" us...creates ambition.

They also represent sex and sexual relationships.

People who are wands tend to have light brown hair and hazel or green eyes.

The are trustworthy, ambition, motivated, and usually very loyal.

Because of their creativeness, and natural ability to organize, you will find them to be very busy with meetings, activities and social events.

They draw people towards them with their warmness and attractive personality.

They are down to earth and are lovers of nature.

When there are many wands in a spread, it indicates that there is a lot of activity going on. Specific cards will help you to identify if the efforts and initiatives are worthwhile or instrumental to you.

To me the wands indicate activity, travel plans, thoughts, ideas, and effort put forth.

When I see an absence of wands in a spread, it usually indicates to me that the person is not putting forth much effort, and that they seem to lack the motivation necessary to accomplish their goals.

Wands to me, also represent family or family members.

CUPS

This suit represents our heart.

Our love, our happiness.

Our emotions.

Cups refer to water, a symbol of love.

The cups express our desires....where we find our beauty.

Where we find our emotional happiness.

Cups may also indicate new beginnings, fertility, abundance in all things.

The cups can also show us our sadnesses, our disappointments, our emptiness, and our lonliness.

It reveals to us the heart and the feelings that we keep stored there.

When there are many cups in a spread, it would indicate to me that this person was feeling very emotional and wanting her feelings to be known.

People who are cups, are kind, sweet, loving, understanding and nuturing.

They tend to be light hair and light eyes, blue or green.

They love with all their heart, and it easily broken as they tend to be sensitive.

Sometimes tend to be a bit "selfish" and "self-centered", but that is not something that they would recognize readily.

Only a few cups in the spread would indicate two things to me, either that person is not one to "wear their heart on their sleeve", or they are very good at keeping their emotions to themselves, and not comfortable with displaying them.

SWORDS

Swords represent action, power, force.

It is an indication of worry and stress and anxiety.

With many swords it can be expected that there will be losses and accidents and perhaps even tragedies.

It exposes the ill will, deceptions and wrong doings of others and yourself.

It explains where your "hurt feelings", bitterness and resentments stem from.

Swords can represent jealousy, resentment, possible neurosis and psychosis.

Swords are also indicative of military, government, police, FBI, detectives (spies).

On the wrong side of the law it exposes the drug dealers, sexual deviants, and hurtful, spiteful people.

People who are swords are very articulate and intelligent.

They seem to command respect with their dignified and arrogant air.

They are observant, knowledgeable, outspoken and witty.

Swords have a tendency to be condescending and insensitive.

When "reversed", they can be quite domineering and controlling.

When there are many swords in a spread, I know that there is much worry and stress going on. It could also indicate surgery or a hidden illness.

PENTACLES

Pentacles represent the material things in life.

Money, such as paychecks, social security, pensions, and even welfare checks.

It could indicate inheritances, real estate, property, gambling, raises and bonuses.

Material success, diamonds and the finer things in life.

People who are pentacles are dependable and trustworthy.

They are down to earth and have a big heart.

They are hard working and generous.

They have a sensible outlook on life using their careful analysis and realistic approach.

They can be stubborn, and a bit pig-headed at times.

When in a "foul" mood, they tend to be pessimistic and rude, giving a "prim and proper" attitude.

They do have a tendency to be obssessive and compulsive.

Pentacles tell me the financial story of the client.

If they have enough money..do they pay their bills on time..are they due for a raise..can they expect one?

Do they have money that is owed to them...will they find that new job...will they get that unexpected check?
