The INDIAN TAROTS – Two of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Two of Cups focuses on relationships. It widens the previous call for love and creativity by applying it to other people. The Two of Cups encourages mutual respect among others and characterises love as an act of healing.

In the Two of Cups, two figures stand facing each other holding two cups. Both figures show only half of themselves. The figure on the left, a woman, is dressed in blue, signifying royal feminine. The figure on the right, a man, is dressed in the golden, the royal masculine. Together, their separate halves complement each other in a yin/yang paradox and this Rajasthani Prince and his fiancé, a princess drink sherbet from their gold cups.

Above the two cups, there is a head of a red lion. The colour red almost always illustrates passion while the lion normally symbolizes sexual energy. Between the two cups, there stands the Staff of Hermes, or a caduceus. The caduceus is a traditional symbol for the medical field and emphasizes the healing properties of water, the element associated with the suit of cups.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ace of Cups

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

As an ace, the card is pure potential. Coming out of a cloud of smoke, the cup is a gift to all who accept it. The Ace of Cups begins many of the themes seen throughout the suit; namely, it encourages love and creativity while putting an emphasis on the subconscious soul.

As with all of the Ace cards, the Ace of Cups shows a disembodied hand emerging from a cloud of smoke, holding the minor arcana for the reader. This reveals that the cup is a gift. It isn’t something that you earn or are rewarded. It is already within you. It is your job to accept it and to wield it graciously. If the wand represents our willpower, the cup represents our spiritual power. The cup is a vessel for our subconscious, for our intuition, feelings, and creativity. As it overflows with water, so our souls overflow with joy when we receive this card in our spread.

Most scholars interpret the five jets of water to represent our five senses: vision, hearing, smell, touch, taste. It is our five senses that add depth to our life. As water nourishes our body, the senses nourish our soul. Suspended in the card are twenty-six drops of water. In this image, there is a paradoxical combination of air and water, resulting in a connection between divine space and our flowing soul. Some scholars have interpreted the twenty-six drops to represent the twenty-six letters in the English alphabet, symbolizing the communication of our soul.

A white pigeon descends towards the cup. This reiterates the divine connection in the suit of cups. Traditionally, a white pigeon represents peace in Sanatan culture, it could also represent the Jewish Sophia or the Greek Aphrodite. In any case, the pigeon gives the card a sense of peace and repose. In the pool below the cup, there grows white lotus. White lotuses symbolize spiritual awakening and the divine soul. Other traditions, like Buddhism, suggest that the lotus symbolizes beauty in ugly environments, as lotus grows in mud, but remains unstained.

Upright meaning

his card often represents new beginnings, emotional fulfilment, and love. It suggests that you’re opening yourself up to new experiences and emotions, and that you’re ready to embrace love and happiness in your life. The card encourages you to be open to the possibilities that are available to you.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate emotional blocks, lack of fulfilment, or emotional imbalance. You may be struggling to connect with your emotions or to find happiness and fulfilment in your life. The card suggests that you may need to work on healing any emotional wounds or finding ways to connect with others.

The INDIAN TAROTS – King of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The King of Wands is the height of enlightenment. If this card appears in your spread, utilise the authority given to you and manifest your creative vision.

The King sits upon his throne with power and authority. Like the Queen of Wands, The King is in a relaxed yet alert position, able to leap into action at a moment’s notice. The lion in the flag connects the Wand suit with the element of fire because, the lion is often depicted as a symbol of power and courage, and is associated with deities like Goddess Durga (Durga/Thurkai Amman). The king holds a large Sengol in form of wooden wand. A Sengol is a prominent symbol in India, especially South India. All kingdoms in South India had this practise of embracing Sengol as a sacred tool to rule impartially and with justice. Even today, it is being placed in the Indian parliament. The king of wand thus is a ruler who rules strictly with justice but without misusing his power.

The red robe represents the element fire. The color red also symbolizes passion and strength, a reiteration for the Knight and Page’s plume. Furthering the theme of fire, the King’s throne has flame-like designs. It symbolizes his zeal and passion for the authority granted to him. Like a great fire that roars across a plain, his vision will manifest itself into the world. While the Queen of Wands wears red shoes, the King wears green ones. They further the themes of fruitfulness and fertility in the Wands suit. The King sits on a yellowish throne decorated with lions and Naga designs, symbolizing strength and fire energy. The throne notably extends beyond the bounds of the card, showcasing the King’s reach in power. By extending beyond the top of the card, the throne also connects the King to the heavenly realms. There are structures of Naga on the throne, signifying the power of fire as Nagas are said to control fire in underground as per Sanatani culture.

Upright meaning

This card often represents leadership, vision, and charisma. It suggests that you have the ability to inspire and motivate others, and to lead by example. The card encourages you to be bold and decisive in pursuing your goals.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate arrogance, tyranny, or a lack of vision. You may be using your power and influence to control others, or you may be unable to see beyond your own needs and desires. The card suggests that you may need to be more open to others’ perspectives and to use your power for the greater good.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Queen of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

Queen of Wands illustrates the reader’s power and authority over their situation. If this card appears in your spread, take it as a green light for all of your ideas. Bring together a trusted team of friends and work to make your vision a reality.

The Queen of Wands sits elegantly on her throne, fully in command of her situation. Unlike the Knight of Wands, The Queen is a leader and manifests her vision from a position of authority. Her legs and arms are squared, suggesting a relaxed and alert posture. She is comfortable with her power and ready to act whenever it is required of her. A jungle cat sits at the Queen’s feet. They are found in deccan plateau. In India, for instance, they are worshiped as the manifestation of the divine feminine because Ma Shashthi (protector of children and caretaker of pregnant women as per Hindu culture) rides a cat. Relating to the Queen, the jungle cat reveals her cunningness and wisdom.

The Queen holds a sunflower in one of her hands. In juxtaposition with the black cat, the sunflower illustrates life. The sunflower reiterates the theme of fertility despite a hostile environment. Like the cat and sunflower, the different hills in the background further reiterate the yin yang relationship in the Queen of Wands. Like most paradoxical elements in Tarot, the two hills reveal a harmony in opposites. One side is green western ghat, other side is yellow and muddy deccan plateau.

The Queen wears a red shoe on her left foot. Because the left side is associated with the subconscious. The color red also reveals the Queen’s passion and connects her to the red plumes of the Knight and Page of Wands. Her right feet cannot be seen. The gray foundation below the Queen’s feet illustrates the unbiased nature of the Queen’s judgment. While the Knight is erratic, the Queen is composed. She weighs all situations equally in order to gain the best results. The Queen sits on a red throne decorated with lions engraving, symbolizing fire and strength. The throne notably extends beyond the bounds of the card, showcasing the Queen’s reach in power. By extending beyond the top of the card, the throne also connects the Queen to the heavenly realms.

Upright meaning

This card often represents confidence, leadership, and independence. It suggests that you’re in control of your life and your passions, and that you’re able to inspire and motivate others. The card encourages you to be bold and assertive in pursuing your goals.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate insecurity, lack of confidence, or a need for validation. You may be struggling to assert yourself or to trust your own instincts, or you may be relying too much on others for support and guidance. The card suggests that you may need to work on building your self-confidence and trusting your own intuition.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Knight of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Knight of Wands leaps into the card in pursuit of some magnificent vision. He rides a red horse that resembles the element of fire and clings to a wand that guides the way. The Knight’s face is stern, suggesting his command of the dynamic situation. When this card appears in your deck, take it and run to manifest your ideas.

Upon first glance, the image of the Knight of Wands appears chaotic due to the horse leaping in the air. On closer inspection, however, the rider is in complete control of the situation. He holds onto the reins tightly and looks forward with a stern face. Like the calmness in the Page of Wands, the mastery of the Knight of Wands reveals the spiritual maturity in the card. As was stated before, the Wands suit is associated with the element of fire. The horse in the Knight of Wands is illustrative of that element due to its reddish color and wild demeanor. Like most knights, the Knight in this card is wearing armor. His armor is illustrative of the protection he has under the wand suit. Like the Nagas on his tunic, the Knight is resilient in hostile environments. The Nagas connects the Wand suit with the element of fire because, according to Hinduism, the Nagas are a half-human, half-snake species that live underground in fire without getting hurt. They reiterate the theme of resilience through conflict.

Flowing out of the Knight’s helmet is a red plume. This plume symbolizes the Knight’s passion and willpower. The tunic that the Knight wears is full of symbolism that gets at the core of the Wands suit. First, the color yellow helps the Knight blend into the background, illustrating his connectiveness with the world around him. Second, his tunic is decorated with various Nagas. Throughout the Wands suit, the landscape has shifted between a green plain and a yellow plateau (Deccan Plateau). The plateau lacking greenery, is not meant to represent the absences of life, but rather the resilience of it. Despite living in a hilly and dry area, the Knight thrives, using his wit and willpower illustrated by the wand. This resilience in a waste land is further illustrated by the hills in the background

Upright meaning

This card often represents passion, adventure, and boldness. It suggests that you’re ready to take action and pursue your goals with enthusiasm and determination. The card encourages you to follow your instincts and embrace new experiences.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate impulsiveness, recklessness, or a lack of follow-through. You may be jumping into new ventures without fully considering the consequences, or you may be struggling to stay committed to your goals. The card suggests that you may need to slow down and think things through before taking action.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Page of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The court in the Wands suit begins with the Page of Wands. Like all court cards, the Page of Wands illustrates spiritual maturity within the Minor Arcana. The Page stands upright and admires the wand for its authority. The card beckons us to pursue any opportunity and to manifest our visions into the world.

The Page of Wands reflects the spiritual maturity of the court cards as the Page’s position mimics the lone wand. The wand is no longer a tool to be used; it is something to become. Similar to the Nine of Wands, the Page has both hands on the wand. Unlike that card, however, the Page isn’t using the wand for support during a bleak repose; the Page is steadying the wand on equal ground during a time of peace. While the wands are the same size in every card, it is clearer in this one that the wand is taller than the Page. Because of this, the Page has to physically look up to the wand. This marks the spiritual maturity of the Page and the importance of the wand itself.

The hat that the Page wears contains a red plume/feather. This plume symbolizes the passion and enlightenment of the Page. The hat is also similar to one worn by a figure in the Five of Wands card. This marks the spiritual progression the reader has made throughout the Wands suit. Throughout the Wands suit, the landscape has shifted between a green plain and a yellow region. The muddy plateau is not meant to represent the absences of life, but rather the resilience of it. There are small hilly structures in the background that emphasises resilient nature. This muddy place resembles the Deccan plateau in South India, which is less green than the Western Ghat but still a lot of flora and fauna have found their home there.

The tunic that the Page wears is full of symbolism that gets at the core of the Wands suit. First, the color yellow helps the Page blend into the background, illustrating his connectiveness with the world around him. Second, his tunic is decorated with various Nagas. Every Minor Arcana has some species associated with it. The Nagas connects the Wand suit with the element of fire because, according to Hinduism, the Nagas are a half-human, half-snake species that live underground in fire without getting hurt. They reiterate the theme of resilience through conflict.

Upright meaning

This card often represents new beginnings, creativity, and inspiration. It suggests that you’re setting out on a new path filled with creative energy and excitement. The card encourages you to take risks and explore new opportunities.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate a lack of direction, blocked creativity, or a need for patience. You may be feeling stuck or uninspired, or you may need to wait for the right opportunity to come along. The card suggests that you may need to tap into your creativity or seek inspiration from others in order to move forward.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ten of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Ten of Wands is the final test. The card reveals the struggles of carrying a heavy burden. Juxtaposed with this struggle is the sanctuary of completion as the figure walks towards a far-off house. The Ten of Wands encourages us to keep going until we’ve passed the finished line.

The figure in the card is bent over in struggle. He tries with all of his might to corral the wands and, in so doing, submits to them. This is a card of work and determination. It is the final show of will power within the Wands suit before the court cards appear. In many ways, this is the last stand after the repose of the Nine of Wands. In this card, the wands are as close as they will ever be. Packed together in a bundle, they form a singularity of energy similar to the Ace of Wands. They also appear overwhelming to the figure, asking him if he can carry out the job or not. The harness of the bundle of wands is juxtaposed with the comfort of the house on the right side of the card. The house can represent the end goal of security that comes from the completion of moving the wands. It is what the figure is striving for. Its closeness encourages him to persist through the difficulty.

Upright meaning

This card often represents burden, responsibility, and hard work. It suggests that you may be feeling overwhelmed by the weight of your responsibilities or the demands of your work. The card encourages you to stay focused and keep moving forward, even if it’s difficult.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate release, letting go, or delegating. You may be feeling like you need to let go of some of your responsibilities or delegate tasks to others in order to lighten your load. The card suggests that you may need to prioritize your tasks and focus on what’s most important, and to be willing to ask for help when you need it.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Nine of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

After experiencing the dynamic potential of the Eight of Wands, there now comes an anxious repose. The figure in The Nine of Wands has been beaten but not defeated. The card tests your strength against adversity. While the card seems bleak, there is an undercurrent of hope that a new day will dawn and that a better future will come. To receive that hope, the card suggests that you persist through all challenges.

The figure in the card wears a bandage around his head. Perhaps this is the man from the seven of wands and he is recovering from the battle there. Perhaps the bandage is metaphorical, representing a fixed worldview. In any case, the bandage illustrates self-care and recovery. Eight of the nine wands stand vertically behind the man. It is unclear if he is aware of them or not for, he is looking the other way. If this were the case, the eight wands could represent the resources unknown to us that we need to look for. If the figure is aware of the wands, then they could represent his ability to organize his resources into a wall of protection.

The figure holds onto one of the wands with both hands. He appears to lean against it, using it for support. While the wands were used as weapons previously, the Nine of Wands reveals their versatility. The image of the Nine of Wands appears bleak as the figure is injured and in repose. Despite this, the landscape behind him is still green and fertile. The landscape can reveal that even in our darkest moments, hope persist. Juxtaposed with the green landscape is the grey floor that the figure stands on. The green landscape may be what the figure sees but the grey floor is what the figure feels. It denotes the bleakness of the figure’s injuries while also suggesting the unbiased wait of the figure’s repose.

Upright meaning

This card often represents resilience, persistence, and courage. It suggests that you have been through a lot of challenges and setbacks, but that you have the strength and determination to keep going. The card encourages you to stay focused on your goals and to be prepared to defend yourself if necessary.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate giving up, exhaustion, or feeling defeated. You may be feeling like you can’t keep going or that you’ve reached the end of your rope. The card suggests that you may need to take a break, regroup, and find ways to recharge your energy and motivation.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Eight of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Eight of Wands is a card of movement and energy. Devoid of a human figure, the wands are on full display. Like the Ace of Wands, these wands float in the air and illustrate pure potential. If this card shows up in your deck, it is a clear sign to go ahead with your plans for there are blue skies ahead.

The Eight of Wands is one of the few cards that doesn’t depict any human figures. The eight wands appear to paradoxically be either falling or rising in the air. Some scholars have argued that they are an illustration of stairway to heaven (Jacob’s Ladder as per the Bible). Most scholars however agree that the wands symbolize dynamic movement. Despite being devoid of human life, the Eight of Wands is abundant with greenery. The forested plains (coastal plains of Kerala Backwaters) below the wands reveal that life and growth persist without the presence of humans. The Eight of Wands is thus a humble reminder of our place in the universe. The vast open field is juxtaposed with a tiny house in the bottom left corner. The smallness of the house reiterates the previous point; humans are in the background while nature is in centre stage. The house also reveals how far we have come in the journey.

Upright meaning

This card often represents movement, progress, and forward momentum. It suggests that things are moving quickly and that you’re making good progress towards your goals. The card encourages you to keep moving forward and to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate delays, obstacles, or a lack of progress. You may be feeling like you’re stuck or unable to move forward, or that things are not moving as quickly as you would like. The card suggests that you may need to be patient and persistent, and to look for alternative paths to achieve your goals.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Seven of Wands

June 19, 2023

by Cardzz Solution with No Comment Tarot Meanings

The Seven of Wands illustrates the unfortunate result from gaining the success found in the Six of Wands: criticism. While the illustration contains some ambiguities, it appears that a man is defending his position against the crowd. It is a card that suggests self-confidence and resolve in the face of criticism.

The Seven of Wands depicts a lone figure on top of a hill (Western Ghat), guarding himself against the other wands. Based on the figure’s pose, it is unclear if the man is playfully fighting with the other wands, like it was with the Five of Wands, or if the figure is in real danger. Some scholars have argued that the man is simply pulling up a wand offered to him while others have claimed that the man unjustly goes against the community established in the previous cards. The hill the man stands upon can symbolize a number of things. Practically, the hill gives the man the advantage of higher ground, revealing his wit. The hill could also represent the man’s higher moral ground, suggesting the importance of standing up for what you believe in. The different anklets that the man wears are an oddly specific detail. With much of Tarot being about inhabiting different, paradoxical spaces, it seems likely that the two anklets are a further example of that polarity. Stipulations could be made between the conscious/subconscious and tamed/untamed dichotomies.

Upright meaning

This card often represents standing up for oneself, defending one’s position, and overcoming challenges. It suggests that you may be facing opposition or competition, but that you have the strength and determination to defend your position and come out on top. The card encourages you to stand firm and fight for what you believe in.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate giving up, backing down, or feeling overwhelmed. You may be feeling like you’re not able to defend your position or overcome the challenges you’re facing. The card suggests that you may need to reassess your strategy or seek help from others in order to regain your strength and confidence.
