“He’s a boisterous, confident card that’s going on a great journey. He may step on some toes, but it’s a wild ride!” ~ Kimberlee Ferrell

This guy has an abundance of confidence and is fearless in the face of adversity. His passionate energy is fantastic when you want to generate momentum and enthusiasm. When he appears he is also a reminder to be aware of details because this fellow is so rambunctious and eager that he hasn’t paused to consider the consequences.

Stacey Graham says, “When I get this card in a spread, I know I’m taking a new turn in my career. He comes in all enthusiasm and excitement so I follow his lead and see where it takes me.”

When the Knight of Wands appears in your life it is the perfect opportunity to do some public speaking, approach investors, share your ideas, embrace social networks, and talk with others. The spark and light you feel toward your project will shine through your voice and demeanor, drawing listeners to you and inspiring them to take action.

As elements go, this knight is “fire of fire.” He is the energy you need to begin a project, or charge forward through an endeavor, but beware because the flame of action he creates burns swiftly. When you’re riding with the Knight of Wands you might only get halfway to your destination. He is easily distracted and sidetracked onto other paths so it is important to use his energy wisely.

This Knight is hasty in all he does and takes action where others would not. He is sudden and impatient, but he is strong and always enthusiastic. He doesn’t like dilly-dallying! ~

The Knight of Wands asks you to leap into adventure. He’s that wild risk-taker who lives on adrenaline but isn’t particularly reliable. When he appears in your spread he often heralds a time of charged action, energy is at its peek, but it is important to temper the flame of this knight to avoid the pitfalls that he commonly stumbles into.

When the Knight of Wands shows up in your reading, it’s time to ask yourself these questions: How am I growing? How much energy am I putting into my own self-growth? Who is radiating creative or sexual energy in my life? How am I changing? What opportunities are entering my life right now that I feel passionate about? *

Jen Nipps says, “I like it when he pops up in a reading because he generally has good news to share.”

Isabel Kliegman’s, “Tarot and the Tree of Life: Finding Everyday Wisdom in the Minor Arcana“, tells us that this Knight knows he is not his choices. When he stumbles along his path, makes a mistake, or goes in the wrong direction he takes it in stride and continues moving onward.

When the Knight of Wands appears he may be asking you to stand up for something that matters, and which is unable to defend itself. He is a compassionate soul, deeply engaged and giving, particularly to his family.

What new adventure are you beginning this week? Where can you feel this Knight’s influence in your life? What else do you know about the Knight of Wands?

Miss Michele has a pretty good track record when it comes to predicting pregnancy… to Jennie Dee, right now, she answers, “Not yet, but soon.” Miss Michele can’t provide, in this reading, an exact month or time frame, but she can offer an if–> then / cause and effect statement. When the factors outlined in the reading fall into place, conception will occur.

The Magician in the past shows a new beginning… the decision being made to try to conceive. Jennie took stock in her health, made positive changes, and began tracking her cycles closely. She knows she is in charge of her own destiny, so she began preparing herself, her body, her life and relationship for a child.

The near future shows more preparation in the Ace of Rods. This also shows fertility and virility. Jennie hasn’t conceived yet, but it’s not for lack of trying. She and her partner, however, are taking this in stride, keeping the magic and passion in their relationship, and not looking at baby-making as a “chore.”

Factors Jennie may not be seeing, or might be hidden, are shown in the Page of Swords. There may have been a few false alarms, perhaps even a chemical pregnancy. The baby will come when Jennie least expects it. There are still some delays, however. They may even come in the form of minor physical issues.

As time goes on, the situation will get more frustrating. Jennie will begin to worry. This is shown in the Nine of Cups, the Tarot’s spiritual guidance. The more you worry and stress, the less likely you will be to conceive. Certainly, get everything checked out to make sure you’re in good health, but the prognosis is good. Stop worrying and it will happen.

The Final Outcome is shown in the King of Rods. While not a card of fertility that makes Miss Michele say Jennie will get pregnant “very, very soon,” all the factors are in place that it will happen, and it won’t take “forever.” Jennie will hit that low spot with her health, worries, stress… and just when she gets over that bump and relaxes, that’s when it will happen. As the King of Rods showcases Jennie’s partner’s personality, it’s likely that the more Jennie stresses, the less open he will be to pregnancy. He likes surprises, and he may very well be telling Jennie to relax, because it will happen. He will keep the romance and spontaneity alive. Relax and enjoy the entire process, because it will happen soon enough!

Thank you, Jennie, for giving us the opportunity to read for you and for your donation to Support a Miracle.

For the month of September, all proceeds go to benefit Mysti and Simon Gabriel, a preemie born at 24 weeks gestation. (In fact, Miss Michele predicted Simon’s month of conception in a 13-card, one-year spread!)

Laura wants to know her future prospects for romance and how she can encourage love into her life.

Overview: A glimpse at the six cards in Laura’s L for Love spread show a woman who wants a relationship, but is focused more on the practical aspects of “being in a relationship” than on sharing love with someone. Laura, open your heart and what you want will fall into place.

A preponderance of Pentacles and Wands in a love spread show us that either her mind is elsewhere and now is not the time for love, or she views relationships as simply another “thing on her to-do list,” as in Find Career: Check, Find Boyfriend: Check, Get Married…

If love is what you truly want, Laura, we encourage you to open your heart to the many wonderful things romance has to offer.

Serenity Bly comments on the lack of Cups, as well: The lack of ANY cups in this reading has me feeling that you’re not ready to focus on relationships. You’re in a strong creative mode and might be craving family because of it but could find more balance turning your creativity into a new project. And don’t forget, love often finds you when you stop looking.

Your past experience in love: Three of Pentacles: You’re coming at relationships as “work,” and that is understandable based on your past experience. Dating and romance has never been easy for you, and, as a practical person, you approach romance pragmatically, as well. You may have had relationships in the past where it was never easy—and no, love is not easy, you do have to work for it, but it doesn’t always have to be a challenge, either.

Your current experience in love: Eight of Wands. In your current relationship, things are moving rapidly… too fast for your practical mind to accept, and it’s scary. Slow down a bit. You have time. (I say this with no hint at your age… whatever age you are, there is still (always) time!

What you want from a love relationship: Six of Pentacles Again, the practical aspects of your personality are coming out in your needs for a love relationship. You want a husband, father and, above all else, a provider. You want stability.

What you need from a love relationship: Three of Rods: Issues and conflict occurs when what we think we want, what we are seeking, and what we NEED differ. You need something fresh, and someone who will be a ‘life partner’ for you, nurturing your creativity. You need someone intelligent, strong, and who will complement you in every way.

Serenity Bly adds: Laura, your best course of action is to let go of your expectations and accept what comes into your life without judging it too soon.

What you have to give your lover: Two of Pentacles Laura, you are a well-balanced, strong woman who is adept and keeping many balls in the air. As a head of household, you will keep things running smoothly and give your lover a “safe haven.”

But the lack of Cups in this reading lead Miss Michele to remind you not to forget about passion. Embrace the fire shown in the Eight of Rods. Let your lover take you to new places, take chances, embrace love.

Possible future experience in love: King of Pentacles: The outcome card tells us you are on the right path… you will settle down with the man who complements you in every way, who is a strong leader, father figure and steady provider. Just be careful not to be dominated by this powerful “king”—you are a strong woman yourself and have plenty to offer in a relationship/partnership.

Serenity Bly adds: Regarding the King of Pentacles: While you might be looking for a man who is well off, settled into his career and comfortable/confident in his life, try to relax the hunt. You have nothing to worry about, whoever comes into your life will be the person you needs and sometimes ‘looking’ for it blinds you to the qualities you don’t know you need in a man. Sometimes the beer goggles come into play and you may be fooled into seeing something in a date that isn’t really there. For example, if you’re looking for someone who lives in a trick apartment you’ll find someone who lives in a trick apartment, but you WON’T see the double mortgage and the gambling debts.

Open up your mind to the idea of loving, giving, FIRST. Being open and unconditional in your expectations brings your energy to the level where positive, healthy relationships can come in and return that love.

While Laura requested an L for Love spread, the 9-card Relationship Spread gives us more clear answers and insight into a specific relationship…

So, dealer’s choice…  Before we begin, Miss Michele would like to note that the money from this spread goes straight to Supporting Simon, and his mother Mysti so that she and her family can move to Denver to be with Simon, a preemie born at only 24 weeks gestation. Simon celebrated his one-month birthday very recently, and we continue to pray for his increasing growth and strength.

Thank you, Laura, for your contribution.

The first card, How You See the Other Person, is the Five of Rods. This minor arcana indicates a battle of wills. You view your significant other as thick and stubborn. While you love him, his inability to compromise is beginning to wear thin, and you are becoming weary of minor fights and squabbles over petty causes. You view him as always ready to do battle.

The second card, the Three of Swords, is a powerful card of change that exemplifies how he sees you. While you take these petty squabbles to be part of life, he may be viewing your current difficulties as “the beginning of the end.” This may not be a bad thing… your relationship—as you know it—is going to end. That doesn’t mean you won’t find a better relationship with the same man… just that things are coming to a head. This change will hurt you both, but will be for the best.

Right now, he views you as constantly sticking daggers in his heart… when you give in and fight him on his petty squabbles, it hurts him as much as it hurts you. Neither of you is happy with the current situation.

What you need is shown in the Ace of Cups. You *need* this new beginning forecasted in the previous card. You need someone who you can show all the love in your heart—several cards in the spread support this. You are overflowing with love, but you need someone who will accept this.

What the other person needs is shown in another five… the Five of Swords. To shift to numerology for a moment, as the Tarot utilizes ancient archetypes, numerology, intuition and astrology to tell its tales… the number five indicates a restlessness. He is an adventurer and it was quite a feat to get him to settle down in the first place. But he’s feeling that restlessness, leading to his need to always do battle. The Rods and Swords associated with his name show he is not in the same “love” place as you right now. As the Five of Swords can also indicate deception, he feels a need to stop fooling himself (and you) at the present time.

Where the relationship is now shows a very odd card in this position, the Nine of Cups. Typically the Nine of Cups would indicate all your dreams coming true, which, obviously, is not where the relationship is right now. Instead, you are both in a holding pattern, fooling yourselves that everything is fine. You are both putting a lot of energy into wishes and dreams… but the forces that are blocking you are preventing this from coming true. …

Serenity Bly adds: There’s a sense of “this is as good as it’ll get.” It’s a sort of fatalistic thought: You’ve done the best you can and what you’ve had is the best you’ll ever have. I also get the impression someone is waiting in the wings. Laura, you might already be thinking about this person and your emotions are adding to your confusion.

You and your current love are both wearing masks in this relationship, putting up a front for the sake of peace.

In addition to soliciting Serenity’s insight, Miss Michele also drew a clarification card for the Wish card (Nine of Cups) asking, “What factors are blocking you from your wish…what aren’t you seeing?”

The card was the very powerful major arcana, Judgment. You’re both holding onto your expectations for the other person, without seeing them as they are. And you’re both also holding onto expectations of what a relationship should be… and you’re tired of waiting for yours to turn into that. Your best course of action is for you to both stop holding onto the past and either make the decision to change your relationship into what you want it to be—or walk away from it with no regrets.

The sixth card, where you would like the relationship to go, supports your feelings with the Ace of Cups, in the Queen of Cups. You are a nurturer—he thinks he doesn’t want nurturing. You are warm and soft with love to give. He feels unworthy of it. All you want is to give all your love to someone who will accept it! He doesn’t appreciate your femininity.

Where he would like the relationship to go is shown in the Four of Cups, a card of emotional poverty and lacking. Again, he feels he doesn’t deserve you and, at times, would rather walk away than make this work. The clarification card, the Three of Pentacles, supports this. Miss Michele asked the Tarot, again, what factors are blocking him? The Three of Pentacles is the work card. He is simply afraid that if he works at it, he will still fail—and where would that leave you both? He wants the easy way out.

The Hanged Man offers the factors to be considered in this relationship… you are both tired of waiting, waiting, in this holding pattern. It is time to make a decision, for both your sanity. Miss Michele can’t say whether that choice will be stay or go.

Serenity Bly adds: The Hanged Man supports the “fatalistic” thoughts shown in the Nine of Cups. Laura is afraid to let go of her current relationship, but a new person offers a great deal of joy for her future if she’ll take the chance.

The End Result, the Page of Cups, supports Serenity’s assertion, showing a new opportunity to share your love. All things now seem possible with the Page by your side. You will have a new lease on your romantic life, possibly even talk of deeper commitment and an eventual family. You will KNOW with this person that it feels right, and you won’t need the Tarot or anything else to quell your anxiety or tell you he is “the one.” He’s waiting for you, Laura.

Miss Michele used the Hanson-Roberts deck to  draw five cards, and came up with some unusual findings for a career spread. The lack of any Pentacles would indicate that Erin’s business is largely a labor of love. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have the potential to make vast amounts of money, merely that Erin launched it to follow her passion.

Card by card…

The Fool in the past shows that Erin may have recently launched a new business endeavor or changed her focus in her current business. While she may have done research and preparation, a large part of this change was a “leap of faith” as she entered uncharted territory. It also shows this may be the cause of any challenges—whether Erin is truly unprepared or merely feels that way.  (And Miss Michele suspects the latter.)

The Ace of Cups, again, supports the launching of a new business endeavor, showing the present… Erin began with an open mind and unfettered optimism. Her business is truly a labor of love—her true passion. Miss Michele commends Erin for following that passion!

However, Erin’s fears manifest themselves in the Unseen Factors of the third card, the Six of Cups…she may be thinking things were better before, or that she should take a few steps back, re-think her path, maybe even go back to her previous career.

The Strength card, however, a Major Arcana showing Erin’s best course of action, advises her to plow on. Yes, go back and re-think some of your tactics, perhaps re-write your business plan or, if you don’t have one, put one together in order to solidify your goals. While the carefree optimism of the Fool gave Erin what she needed to launch her business, a lack of Pentacles in a business/career spread shows a need to focus on the “nuts and bolts” now. Without proper preparation, the business faces some risks, shown in the Final Outcome card, the Seven of Swords…

The Seven of Swords indicates trickery and deception, along with competitors who may not play by the rules. Someone who is less than trustworthy could sweep in, under the guise of trying to help. Again, be STRONG and rely on past experience and knowledge to resist the urge to work with them. In this case, Erin would be better off going it alone than taking help that is a wolf disguised in sheep’s clothing.

The lack of Pentacles in this reading makes Miss Michele wonder if there are not other factors on your mind—new beginnings—that are holding back Erin’s business from the amount of growth it could be experiencing.

You can follow Simon Gabriel’s journey as documented by his mother, Mysti, on her blog, One Woman’s Heart.

For the month of August, Miss Michele and Serenity Bly will be donating all proceeds from Future Tarot to a fund supporting Simon Gabriel and his family on the long road ahead. Mysti is also accepting direct donations on her blog and we ask that those who can, show their support by leaving a comment and/or donation.

Because of this incredible cause, August is the perfect time to ask for a Tarot Reading. If you’ve been putting off your question then now is the perfect opportunity to support a precious miracle while gaining the insight you’ve been seeking. Miss Michele and Serenity Bly ask that you reach into your heart to help us show Mysti, Simon, Rob, Jaden how loved they are, and how much we are all praying and embracing them through their journey.

Beautiful site! Full of great information! If your 3-card reading offer still stands, I’d love to have one. I feel like I’m at a crossroads in my career and would love guidance on the best area for me to invest my energies.

The cards do certainly indicate that you are at a crossroads in your career!

The Major Arcana Judgment, in the past, shows a choice must be made. In the past, you may have felt as if you were judged wrongly, not rewarded for your work, and scarcely recognized. You may have even been penalized or punished for things that were not your fault or your doing.

Temperance, in the near future, shows, still, the duality of the choice you must make. You’ll be struggling with your decision for a time; this will not be a rapid change. However, you are learning to rely more on your intuition, and the forces of the Universe that are at play, which want to see you succeed. That’s right… the Universe is on your side! Like the water at the feet of the angel on the Temperance card in my Tarot of a Moon Garden deck, let the energy flow around you and the answers will come. Meditate, step away from it all and take some time to yourself before moving forward.

When you do make a move, cut the apron strings entirely. Focus your energies on the project that calls to you, do not waste time on other endeavors that move you away from your life’s goal. This is exemplified in the Death card in the future, which indicates a need to let go. The passing may hurt, and there will be a mourning period for the loss of your old self, but it’s important to move forward. Three Major Arcanas show the Universe’s influence is strong in your question and in your future. Listen to your intuition and you’ll find the answers. You know the right path. Don’t let the past haunt you. Make a clean break and go for it.

Thanks for visiting!

Unfortunately, where she sits now is worried about the future, overworked, and unable to sleep. This is shown by the Nine of Swords, known as the Nightmare Card. The positive side of this card (even in this reading rich with swords) is that things are usually not as bad as we imagine them. The cards show this to be true for Stacey.

The possible final outcome, the Queen of Rods, shows that Stacey is ready to make yet another change, and find a career that plays to her strengths as a woman and a creative. The Queen of Rods is an excellent manager, a career woman who knows how to get things done, but with a soft touch. Yin and Yang reside in this strong personality, as does a strong passion for endeavors close to her heart.

The Wands and Swords in this reading indicate things will progress rapidly with a new job opportunity and Stacey will be the better for it.

A bit about our launch..

Yes, we admit it. Future-Tarot.com is not…quite…finished. We have lots more we’d like to add to these pages, including tarot book and deck reviews, a comprehensive list of tarot resources, and more.

The resident psychics, Serenity Bly and Miss Michele drew a timing card. The Moon came up in the reading, indicating a propitious launch date of July 18. The Moon symbolizes re-birth and new beginnings, and, as this is a re-birth of Miss Michele’s old tarot site, it seemed perfect! As the Moon also relates to psychic abilities and feminine intuition, it seemed the perfect card to represent the launch of a tarot site run by two work-at-home-moms. We didn’t want to delay the site just because of a few minor details.

However, we decided to make a compromise and give our vast social network a “sneak peek” at Future-Tarot, with the opportunity to receive free readings before our true public launch on August 15. So here you are. Please post a comment and let us know how you like it!
