The INDIAN TAROTS – Six of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Six of Swords illustrates our journey in-between environments. Perhaps we are transitioning to a new job or a new environment. The Six of Swords captures the ambiguity of the future without harping on any regret.

The ferryman is an illustration of the swords suit in that he exercises his conscious control over the subconscious waters. He is a mediator between the intellect and the real world, much like the sword is. In relation to the woman on board, he also illustrates masculine energy. A passenger on the boat, the woman in the card illustrates us as we sail through life. We only see her back, so it is difficult to understand the woman’s mood in her journey. In relation to the ferryman, she also illustrates feminine energy. The child has no authority in this card; he is just along for the ride. He therefore represents our indecisions and unconscious passivity. Together, with the ferryman and woman, the child completes this portrait of a family. Just like, in Kailash, Lord Shib resides with Ma Durga and their child Ganesh.

The six swords in the card are stabbed upright at the front of the boat. Together they block the view of the ferryman and add unnecessary weight to the boat. They therefore represent the emotional baggage that we sometimes carry around without, consciously or unconsciously.

The rippled water to the right of the boat symbolizes the fluidity of our subconscious as if river Ganga is flowing from Gangotri. Paired with the still water to the left of the boat, Manas Sarobar that the boat sails in illustrate the paradox of our being. The still water to the left of the boat symbolizes the constant of our will or consciousness. Paired with the rippled water to the right of the boat, the ocean that the boat sails in illustrate the paradox of our being.

Upright meaning

This card often represents transition, moving on, and progress. It suggests that you’re leaving behind something that no longer serves you, whether it’s a relationship, a job, or a belief. The card encourages you to trust your intuition and to follow your heart.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate stagnation, resistance to change, or fear of the unknown. You may be holding onto something that you know is no longer good for you, or you may be afraid to take the next step. The card suggests that you may need to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Five of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Five of Swords illustrates the aftermath of a disagreement. The card questions the validity of an argument won if the means to that victory involved pain. The Five of Swords asks us to take a look at the process we use to reach our objectives. In other words: ends do not justify means.

A large man is depicted in the foreground, picking up fallen swords. It is unclear his relation to the two other figures in the card. Perhaps they all had a fight and the large man won. Perhaps he is thinking of attacking them while their backs are turned. Perhaps he is looking at the other two people and is thinking about his younger self. Two figures are seen walking away from the man with the swords. Perhaps they are walking away in defeat. Perhaps they are unaware of the man with the swords. In any case, these figure’s depiction adds a sense of melancholy and lost to the card.

The two swords on the ground are the tools we haven’t used or forgot about. Perhaps they are the swords of the two figures walking away. In that case, they can represent defeat or our shortcomings. Likewise, the three swords in the man’s arms can represent resourcefulness and being prepared. On the flip side, they could also illustrate hoarding and being a miser about resources. The water in the Five of Swords is the holy Ganga, which flows with roar and is responsible for the fertile grounds. Water represents the subconscious coupled with the intelligence. Perhaps this indicates that the man with the swords is out of touch with his subconscious.

Upright meaning

This card often represents conflict, betrayal, and defeat. It suggests that you may have won a battle, but at a cost to your relationships or your integrity. The card encourages you to be aware of the consequences of your actions and to find a way to make amends.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate reconciliation, compromise, or a release of tension. You may be finding ways to repair a relationship or to let go of past conflict. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding a way to move forward in a positive direction.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Four of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

While the Three of Swords was about trauma, the Four of Swords is about the repose after the trauma. Perhaps you have gone through a terrible break up or just quit your job. The Four of Swords illustrates that ambiguous purgatory between decisions. The card encourages you to rest, meditate in order to make an informed decision on how to move forward.

The main figure in the Four of Swords is a prone soldier lying in a bed, which can even be a deathbed. His head-armour lying beside him shows that he is no more fighting but is proud of his achievements. The prone position offers a few interpretations. On one hand, the figure is preserved as a valiant soldier, their hands in a position of prayer and meditation. On the other hand, the figure is paralyzed and stagnant in their spiritual growth. It is up to the reader to interpret the figure’s position positively or negatively.

Three of the swords in the card hang above the prone soldier, pointing at his torso, while one of the swords is laid in the bed. The three swords illustrate the hardships faced by the human while he was active. The lone sword illustrates the person’s singular focus and effort to overcome the hardships.

Above the soldier, on the wall of the room, there is a mosaic window. The mosaic represents many of the themes found throughout tarot. The picture is separated, yet united, fragmented yet beautiful. Through the lens of the mosaic, much like the lens of tarot, people are able to see the wonders of life. In the middle of the mosaic window, ‘OM Shanti (ॐ शांति)’ is written. OM is written in Tibeti and SHANTI is written in Sanskrit. It signifies that the soldier’s death is not a tragic, mournful event. The knight is at peace. He fought the good fight and is now at rest.

Upright meaning

This card often represents rest, relaxation, and meditation. It suggests that you’re taking a break from the stress and chaos of your life, and that you’re finding a sense of peace and tranquillity. The card encourages you to prioritize self-care and to take time to recharge your batteries.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate restlessness, anxiety, or a need for action. You may be feeling like you’re not able to relax or find peace, or you may be struggling to find direction in your life. The card suggests that you may need to find a way to balance your need for rest with your desire for action.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Three of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Three of Swords illustrates what swords can do against you. By their very nature, swords can hurt us and cause trauma. The Three of Swords suggests working through that trauma in order to come out stronger.

The Three of Swords is one of those rare cards that doesn’t depict a human figure in it. Instead, we get a close-up view of the most important part inside a human, the heart. The heart is the centre of our emotions. Its gigantic size in the card illustrates the power and authority of the organ. Its depiction also indicates the necessary combination of emotional strength and intellectual strength. The three swords depicted in the card, pierce the heart without making it bleed. This can be interpreted in a few ways. Positively, it could be interpreted as the union between the intellect and emotions, as described above. Negatively, it could be interpreted as the pain one feels when others use their intellect against us. In this interpretation, there is however hope in that the heart remains intact even after being stabbed. Whatever pain we may feel, it cannot break us.

Behind the stabbed heart, there are storm clouds and streaks of rain. The melancholy atmosphere reflects the pain of a heart stabbed. Some scholars have also noted that the streaks of rain appear similar to streaks of a mirror, make the card a reflection of ourselves.

Upright meaning

This card often represents heartbreak, loss, and betrayal. It suggests that you’re experiencing emotional pain or disappointment, and that you may need to confront the truth of a situation. The card encourages you to acknowledge your feelings and to work through your emotions in a healthy way.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate healing, forgiveness, or a release of pain. You may be finding ways to cope with your loss or to let go of past hurts. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding closure or moving forward in a positive direction.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Two of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Two of Swords depicts a blindfolded figure wielding two swords. The card illustrates trust in one’s own intellect and a balance in one’s psyche. The Two of Swords appears whenever you are facing a difficult decision in your life.

The figure in the Two of Swords stands with their arms crossed. This posture suggests a strong defensive stance with a strong flow of energy throughout the body. With swords at the ready, the figure is far from helpless despite the blindfold. This figure is notably blindfolded. This reveals that the power of the mind is not limited to sight and sense perception. The blindfold also reiterates the traditional blinded figure of lady justice; the figure is unbiased in their judgement.

The glowing swords that the figure carries importantly extend beyond the limits of the card. This illustrates just how authoritative the swords are. It also reiterates the responsibility required of the sword wielder. Above the figure’s blindfold there is a divine third eye that the figure sees from. Devoid of physical sight, the figure relies solely on their intelligence. Behind the figure is a vast waterbody, which is the Manas Sarobar in sacred Kailash Mountain. The water here represents the subconscious. Devoid of sight, the figure is having to rely on an intellect rooted in their psyche. The sickle moon in the sky illustrates the subconscious. The night sky is reflective of the figure’s lack of sight. The moon also compliments the ocean in painting a picture of the figure’s psyche.

Upright meaning

This card often represents balance, decision-making, and compromise. It suggests that you’re weighing your options and trying to find a middle ground between different perspectives or ideas. The card encourages you to trust your instincts and to find a solution that works for everyone involved.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate indecision, conflict, or avoidance. You may be struggling to make a decision or to find a way to resolve a conflict. The card suggests that you may need to confront the issue head-on and find a way to move forward.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ace of Swords

July 11, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

Ace of Swords illustrates a hand materializing from a cloud and offering the suit to the reader. This is a reminder that the suit is a gift to be rejected or accepted. In accepting the suit, the reader begins their participation with the divine.

The sword combines the will of the wand suit and the mind of the cups suit. It can thus be conceived as the intellect incarnate. Double-sided and sharp, the sword illustrates the effectiveness and complexity of our psyche. Above the sword, there hangs a crown. This reveals the regality and authority of the sword. The four points of the crown, combined with the point of the sword, makes five, also revealing the quintessence of the suit. Two plants spring out from the crown. This could be interpreted in a few ways. It could reveal that swords exercise their control onto nature. The majestic lotuses, celebrate the regality of the sword.

Around the sword, there floats six drops of gold. Like the plants, this too could be interpreted in a few ways. On a basic level, they could illustrate the divine spark incapsulated in the sword. Behind the elegant sword are still the jagged mountains (the Himalayas). This reveals that, even after gaining the powerful weapon of the sword, the road ahead will still be rough. The hand firmly holds the swords. Thus the card tells you to be confident and take the sword as a gift.

Upright meaning

This card often represents new beginnings, clarity, and truth. It suggests that you’re gaining a new perspective or insight into a situation, and that you’re able to cut through confusion and see things clearly. The card encourages you to use your intelligence and critical thinking skills to solve problems and make decisions.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate confusion, lack of clarity, or dishonesty. You may be struggling to make sense of a situation, or you may be dealing with people who are not being truthful with you. The card suggests that you may need to take a step back and reassess the situation before making any major decisions.

The INDIAN TAROTS – King of Pentacles

June 20, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The King of Pentacles represents the attainment of spiritual maturity. He sits on his throne next to his big castle. He enjoys his material possessions. The King of Pentacles suggests we have authority over our wealth and encourages us to help others attain authority over theirs.

The king sits on his throne with a small sword in one hand and a pentacle in the other. It is unclear if his eyes are closed or if they are looking down. In any case, the king appears comfortable in his position, showing no signs of anxiety or paranoia. All across his robe, there are designs of grapes. Like in the Ten of Pentacles, grapes illustrate fertility and wisdom. Grapes traditionally represent a celebration of life and a maturity of spirit. As per Hinduism, grapes symbolise prosperity, abundance, luck, vitality and joy; it is also a major fruit offered to many deities including Lord Vishnu as bhog-prasad. The fruit illustrates the road to enlightenment as a sweet journey. He lacks any arrested development, reigning with confidence.

The king’s throne has four bulls carved into its stone. The bull is an old symbol for the earth, the element represented in the pentacles suit. The bulls on the four corners of the throne reflect the four corners of the earth. Bull also signifies Nandi, the companion of lord Shiv. Cows and bulls are normally a divine animal in Sanatani culture.

Behind the king, there is a large castle. The castle here is owned by the king. It represents the security and strength of material possessions. The king rules the castle as he rules the material world. Having one foot stand above something is traditionally viewed as a sign of dominance. The king therefore rules the material world. As the vines connect to the grapes, the king’s foot connects to the world, becoming an extension of him.

Upright meaning

The upright King of Pentacles represents wealth, security, and generosity. It suggests that you’re financially secure and able to provide for yourself and those around you. The card encourages you to be generous and to share your abundance with others.

Reverse meaning

The reversed King of Pentacles can indicate greed, materialism, or a lack of generosity. It suggests that you may be overly focused on material possessions or that you’re not sharing your abundance with others. The card encourages you to reassess your priorities and to find ways to be more generous and giving.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Queen of Pentacles

June 20, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Queen of Pentacles sits on her throne in the middle of a garden while staring lovingly at the pentacle in her lap. The card illustrates authority through compassion. Instead of ruling with an iron fist, the queen allows things to grow on their own. In her motherly patience, she becomes one with the world around her.

Rather than sitting upright and stiff on her throne like other queens, the queen in this card is stooping over the pentacle in her lap. She looks upon the gold pentacle with motherly love and care, as if the pentacle is her child. Rather than holding the pentacle in the tips of her hands, like in the Page and Knight cards, the queen holds it in her lap. This full embrace of the coin shows an intimacy that is lacking in the more objective illustrations in the suit.

Surrounding the queen and throne are red lotuses, signifying purity and divinity of goddess Lakshmi. In the lower righthand corner of the card, their hops a rabbit. Rabbits are typically symbols of fertility. The creature therefore adds to the themes of harvest, represented by the flowers and of intimacy, represented by how the queen holds the pentacle. In front of the queen, there is a Shivlinga and seems like the queen has just completed worshipping with a lot of flowers. She requests for longevity for her dear ones from Mrityunjay Shiv.

Upright meaning

The upright Queen of Pentacles represents nurturing, abundance, and practicality. It suggests that you’re able to create a stable and nurturing environment for yourself and those around you. The card encourages you to prioritize your own needs and to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Queen of Pentacles can indicate neglect, materialism, or a lack of practicality. It suggests that you may be neglecting your own needs or that you’re overly focused on material possessions. The card encourages you to prioritize self-care and to find a balance between material and emotional needs.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Knight of Pentacles

June 20, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

Unlike some of the other knights in the minor arcana, the knight of pentacles is calm and upright, carefully holding the pentacle up to the morning light. As one would expect from the material suit, the knight is heavily armored, ready for any battle that may come his way.

Distinct from other horses, the horse in this card is black and apparently standing still. His black color provides a stark contrast to the yellow background and causes the whole knight to standout in the card. Like the pentacle in the Page card, the pentacle here is the same color as the background, causing it to blend into the sky. While other knights are brash and headstrong, the pentacle forces the knight to be keen of his surroundings.

The plume coming out of the helmet is green and leafy. In contrast to the traditional red plume, the green plume connects the knight to the earth element. He is one with nature similar to the figure in the Nine of Pentacles. Clothing the horse in another contrasting color is a red bridle (lagaam). The horse and knight might be standing still, but the red bridle suggests a deeply seated passion that mimics the charging horses of other knights.

In juxtaposition with the green fields found in the Page card, the land here is tilled farmland. The ground that the knight is standing on is full of potential growth and sustainability. The ground thus illustrates the spiritual potential of a knight charging to manifest his vision.

Upright meaning

The upright Knight of Pentacles represents reliability, stability, and hard work. It suggests that you’re dedicated to your goals and that you’re willing to put in the effort required to achieve success. The card encourages you to be patient and to stay focused on your goals.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Knight of Pentacles can indicate stubbornness, resistance to change, or a lack of progress. It suggests that you may be resisting change or that you’re not making progress towards your goals. The card encourages you to be open to new ideas and to be more flexible in your approach.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Page of Pentacles

June 20, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Page of Pentacles illustrates the beginning of an idea. Here, the page begins to appreciate the material world. He carefully observes the pentacle to make sure he isn’t missing anything. While not a master, the page exhibits the spark of curiosity that begins the path to mastery.

The page stands elegantly in a green field and holds up the pentacle in admiration. There is a stillness to the page that is absent in other page cards. He is carefully observing the pentacle to fully understand it. He is like a man who trying to flesh out a new idea before implementing it. For the first time, the pentacle is of the same colour as the sky. This makes it look as if it is blending in the background. It therefore takes the keen page to distinguish the pentacle from the world around him.

Like in most of the pentacle cards, the landscape is primarily a green field to signify the element of earth. In the background, you can see the tips of a blue mountain range of Himalaya. The page wears a green tunic. This matches the green of the landscape and illustrates spiritual growth and a fertility of ideas. In wearing green, the page, like the pentacle, is in harmony with nature. The page wears a red hat. Traditionally in Tarot, red represents passion and heart.

Upright meaning

The upright Page of Pentacles represents curiosity, opportunity, and practicality. It suggests that you’re eager to learn and explore new opportunities for growth and prosperity. The card encourages you to be practical and to focus on building a strong foundation for your future.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Page of Pentacles can indicate missed opportunities, lack of focus, or a lack of practicality. It suggests that you may be missing out on opportunities for growth or that you’re not being practical in your approach to achieving your goals. The card encourages you to stay focused and to be practical in your decision-making.
