Your Cards Chosen For The 3 Card Reading

Past circumstances /people that may have influenced your query:

Nine of Pentacles reversed  
Key words associated with this card – Loss, intrigues, financial problems, bad risk situations, issues of trust, impulsiveness, pursuing new goals. 
Key phrases – Loss of friends, finances, home comforts. A tendency to make rash decisions. Extra expenses – a drain on financial resources. Unable to trust someone or some situation. Time to think clearly about setting yourself new goals. 
Interpretation –

The Nine of Pentacles reversed represents:  

•  hard times – emotionally or financially 
•  risky investments 
•  a relationship that is considered a ‘bad risk’ 
•  issues relating to trusting people or even our own judgement 
•  a time of loss 
•  a need to plan ahead for the future 
•  When we see the Nine reversed this suggests someone who has fallen on hard times. This ‘hard time’ usually relates to financial situations but occasionally, in a love reading, can refer to the fact that someone has been in a risky relationship, experienced hard times and felt as if they had lost everything and were now very much alone. Now is the time to reverse this card to its upright position – make firm plans for your future and get back what you once had. 

 Present circumstances ~ the situation now: 
Ace of Swords

Key words associated with this card – Triumph, mental power, clarity, great strength, powerful insight, victory, sense of personal freedom, powerful relationship, force, determination, winning, free from restraint, achievement.  
Key phrases – Identify long-term goals and principles. Make your life a statement of your OWN unique personality.  Triumph over adversity. Winning.  Things are changing for the good. With courage and intellect, nothing can stand in your way. Success from nowhere.  
Interpretation –

The Ace of Swords is a card of great power and is therefore often a sign that you have been powerful in some area of your life. This card tells you that you do have the inner resources to overcome all obstacles and find the truth of your situation. This is a card of winning, getting what you want, being assertive and it paying off !  

 The Ace of Swords represents: 

•  success and triumph 
•  new energy, fresh ideas – moving forward 
•  making things happen 
•  wielding great power 
•  having perseverance 
•  a personal desire coming to fruition – getting what you want 
•  The Ace of Swords says – you are very aware of the fact, that your current situation is all about winning…there may be a ‘prize to win’ and you know that you can win it – However, the two-edged sword cuts deeply in either direction, and a fine line must be walked to achieve the balance necessary for a healthy life. The Ace of Swords is a card of great power. Be aware of just how much force is needed at this time and if too much force is being used in this current situation, this could be a sign that temperance may be what is needed now. (Ease off a little…) This card says you have the power and ability to get what you want now, just be aware that you do not need to ‘tread on other people’s toes to get it…!’  

 Future circumstances / events ~ the answer to your question:  
The Wheel of Fortune (reversed) 

Key words associated with this card – Analysing, re-evaluating, courage needed, downturn, low point, unforeseen circumstances, resisting change, bad luck, take no chances.  
Key phrases – The Wheel of Fortune turns and this is a down – time for you…but just as the wheel turns, so will your luck and your destiny soon bring you back on top again.  Hold on tight as the wheel spins round…! You will need all your courage and determination to get through this ‘difficult’ patch. This is bad timing for you and you seem dogged by sheer bad luck. You may sometimes have difficulty adapting to  ‘changes’.  
Interpretation –

The Wheel of Fortune reversed represents: 

•  sheer bad luck 
•  bad timing in some situation  
•  something is just not ‘meant to be’.. 
•  not a good time for new projects 
•  unexpected changes  
•  unforeseen events, surprises that are not always good ones…! 
•  time to re-evaluate past actions 
•  The issue of ‘Fate’ versus ‘Free Will’ is a difficult one – we are not at the mercy of Fate every step of the way – we are ‘fated’ at times, to have to deal with certain occurrences that require choice. Whenever there is a choice, this is our free will and there is the chance for us to ‘learn’ something valuable – either not to repeat our mistakes, or to advance ourselves spiritually by becoming a ‘better person’ perhaps. The ‘game of life ‘ is often a tough one…sometimes we’re up and sometimes we’re down. This card represents those times in our lives when nothing seems to be going our way…it’s just sheer bad luck, bad timing…whatever…! This card represents the necessity for strength of mind and courage during those downward times in our lives. Fate may throw a few surprises at you and they will not be all good…!The best thing about this card is that if you’ve been on a downward trend for some time – it is soon time for you to get back on the top of the wheel and ride out your destiny. This represents a time to analyse past mistakes and see a clearer way forward in the future…soon it will be ‘your time’…but not just yet

To Summarise

Unfortunately, I think you [very wisely] already know intuitively the answer to this one, as reflected in your second sentence! Yes, this man is a ‘risk’ but more importantly, the message here for you seems to be that you have possibly been here before and should now have learnt your lesson. Hopefully you will see that there is more for you out in the big, wide world, as ‘fate’ has something else in store for you…break this cycle.

The Nine of Pentacles shows a strong willed and independent woman of means – she is her own person. However, you may be feeling, like her, that your life seems somehow incomplete [without a man!!!?]. You may have been putting your career before love for some time now, but here, reversed, the suggestion is that you still feel a little fragile emotionally and have deep seated issues relating to ‘trust’ [you have obviously been very badly let down or betrayed recently and have not quite got to grips with this, yet]. Some elements of this card represent aspects of your past self and suggest ‘where you are coming from’ after all that has happened to you – perhaps the tendency to go for the ‘bad risk element’ when referring to men in general, is something you may wish to work on in this current ‘tempting’ situation. If you are feeling low and/or lonely, this card says do not jump in feet first here as this may not be the best thing for you emotionally as it will be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire! Why do you even consider this man…? well…because of the Ace of course.

The Ace of Swords reflects your current thinking on this. You like a challenge, you enjoy the risk, and…yes, you could get what you want right now, but long term? How interesting that the way you describe this relationship is by saying he has ‘penetrated your defences’ and you need to ‘protect yourself’ [fighting talk!] – and here we see the Sword which you are yielding. Be firm and defend yourself if necessary in order not to get hurt. This Sword can also be suggesting that you are currently quite on the defensive here, not just towards him, but towards others around you too – have some friends or colleagues tried to put you off him and you feel the need to ‘defend’ your current thoughts and actions in relation to this man? The Ace suggests that in some respects this may almost seem like a bit of a game to you – a game of winners and losers and you do like to win! There is nothing wrong with that, except sometimes the heavy use of force to obtain something, is not always the best way. Another way to look at this card is like this – you are strong enough to get through this temptation and if you can retain some of the more admirable qualities of this card, you will always be a winner – it’s in your nature!

The answer to your question and some advice from the tarot is contained within the final card.

The Wheel of Fortune is an amazing card, even when reversed. THE ADVICE OR MESSAGE HERE MAY BE – DON’T TAKE A CHANCE WHEN THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE IS AGAINST YOU. There is much we can take from this card as advice but basically, this card says …’have you not learned your lesson from the past ?’ You will continue on this cycle until you can prove to yourself that you have changed and learnt well from past experiences. This is the card that says – if you did go for it (the Ace) you will be stuck once again in the same cycle of events where ‘fate’ seems to be working against you. This is one of those times where you are in control of your destiny – you can use the power of the Ace to change inwardly, and still  ‘get what you want’ in the end, just maybe not with this man, as exciting as he seems.

The Wheel of Fortune says that it’s up to you to break this continuous cycle – a cycle where you often feel as if everything is always out of your control…sometimes you know…. it just isn’t…!
