In the present position we find the Devil. This card is often misunderstood, but in this position the standard meaning of negative thoughts seems to hold true. The Devil is immediately impacted by the Knight of Swords. You are locked in a battle with yourself and your self-doubts. Push the negative from your mind. It's pointless to dwell on such worthless tripe. It robs you of energy and spoils a good drink.
The next card is the Magician. You are a master communicator and stringer of words, and you goal is to get your message or story to a larger audience.
The past several years have been filled with hope and inspiration. In some cases, realization. The Strength card tells me that you never lost sight of your objective. This could have been impacted and enhanced by a Leo.
The Empress is the card of your future. Creativity flows from you in the coming year.
Ace of Swords marks the doorway to the present and the future. This is closely related to the Magician, and indicates a new and exciting beginning with new challenges.
Hmm. Madame wonders if you recently won the lottery, or perhaps a rich uncle croaked and left you in his will. She is uncertain of the meaning of the Wheel of Fortune card in this position, but if you are currently shopping at the Dollar Store you can stop. Of course Madame concedes that this abundance doesn’t have to be money. It could be an abundance of something else such as faith, love, happiness. Pfft!
Under all of this? You seek to bring deeper meaning to your life.
The overview cards is the Eight of Wands. This is tied to all of the other cards. Your life is about to change. Take your Dramamine because things are going to happen very quickly. Be ready for a wild ride. The fact that the Eight of Wands shows up in a spread along with the Wheel of Fortune and Magician bodes very well for you. You will probably think Madame full of shit, but the Eight of Wands could also mean you will be receiving an important message that will trigger all of this change. But I'm just the drunken messenger.
smooches,
Madame Sosostris
