4 of Pentacles - This card denotes a sense of security. It could be financial or it could be physical, but it'll bring you a great deal of happiness and satisfaction. However, this card carries a warning, because it's advising you not to place too much importance on the things you own. Otherwise, you may become bogged down in materialistic values, be complacent or reluctant to take chances because of the risks involved. You may also grow suspicious of other people's motives or become greedy, mercenary and miserly.

2 of Pentacles - There's a balancing act whenever this card appears. It may be difficult for you to make ends meet or you find that no sooner does the money come in then it goes out again. Alternatively, you will be juggling your time or energy in some way, perhaps through family ties or extra work. Even though the going may be tough, if you can draw on your reserves of patience and endurance, everything will work out well.

The World - Previous hard work or sacrifices bring rich rewards when this card appears. Its simple message concerns achievement, praise and satisfaction. Like so many other Tarot cards, the World is all about change. It describes reaching the end of one satisfactory era and moving on to the next. If you have been wondering whether to change jobs or move house, the World is giving you the green light. Sometimes this card appears when you are about to give birth or when your grown-up children will soon leave home, in which case it represents the start of an enjoyable and exciting new phase. This card can also indicate travel, or even emigration, whether this is planned now or not. If you are thinking of going on holiday, this card suggests you should travel to somewhere you've never been before, especially if it's exotic or steeped in history or culture.

Queen of Wands - You can expect a sudden surge in your love life, with advances from an intriguing foreigner or someone from a different country, culture, or background. An admirer or sweetheart will suddenly appear, and a very passionate love affair or romance is in store. Or, an enigma will be solved, and you will know how much someone has been thinking of you and how much they care. Ask for assistance or guidance, and then follow up on leads, hunches, or inner promptings.

Page of Pentacles - An acquaintance will help you make a change for the better by revealing a new approach or alternative to a matter of great concern. Be willing to listen to, or act upon, new ideas. 'How do I handle this?' will be the issue concerning a romantic interest, and because you will meet it with a sense of responsibility for your actions, you will feel very good about yourself, whether your relationship has a future or not.

9 of Swords - The traditional meaning of this card is 'sleepless nights', because you are feeling frightened, miserable or depressed about something. This may be affecting your sleep or health but, although these fears are very real, they may not have much bearing on reality. In fact, you may be in a much better position than you imagine, as you will soon realise if you can only face the facts and start to deal with them. Faith in yourself will give you the strength to proceed.

The Emperor - Someone or something will appear that will enable you to actualise a concept to which you devoted a lot of thought, time, work, or love. You'll be thinking about the one you love and will want to be with him or her again, and he or she will be thinking the same about you. And when you hear from them, you will make plans to get together. Accept what is coming your way, and don't delay.

The Lovers - There are two main meanings to this card. The first, as might be expected, concerns a love affair. The Lovers can indicate an extremely strong emotional bond, such as a friendship, a working partnership, a love affair or a marriage. If you have recently fallen out with your partner this card suggests that you will be reconciled. The second meaning concerns choice - you will have to make a difficult decision and usually this will involve a certain amount of sacrifice. You may be torn between what you think you should do and what you would like to do. For instance, you may have to choose between two jobs, one offering financial benefits while the other promises creative satisfaction. Or you may have to balance your spiritual needs with your material ones. If so, you should think very carefully about which path to follow because the outcome will be highly significant.

The Tower - Change is on the horizon. A dramatic turn of fate is about to enter your life and it may strike like a bolt from the blue. This may be an alteration to your circumstances, or it might be a change in your attitude. It will be a blow to your ego, so you may lose face, feel embarrassed or have to admit that you were wrong in some way. Although this experience may be unpleasant at the time, once the dust has settled you will be pleased that the change happened and may also feel proud of the way you've coped. Sometimes this card appears when you are discovering the truth about someone in your life. The person may let you down badly or reveal a new, unpleasant, side to their character. Although you will be unhappy about this at the time, eventually you will realise that you had a lucky escape.

5 of Pentacles - A difficult card, this indicates that you are about to enter a temporary phase when something you truly value will be put in jeopardy. Money might be tight, a partner will be difficult or you may have doubts about a spiritual or religious belief. Sometimes you may view life from a very materialistic angle. Although this bleak patch will soon be over, it won't be very pleasant while it lasts. Things look bad but they may not be as grim as they seem, provided you keep track of details and don't let things slide.

Page of Swords - Previous obstructions will begin to break down, and you will be given a fresh start: a token of what is to come that will herald the beginning of a better and brighter tomorrow. You will want to walk away from or forget a painful relationship, but you won't be able to. Don't give up, a new beginning is at hand.

Your intentions are honourable and reliable.
