The meaning of the cards will depend on what kind of reading you are doing and the question you asked the deck. This is a guide covering the general meanings of the cards and how they relate to each other.

Common 2-card spreads

Whilst it’s great to know who these two cards interact with each other, it’s important to note that the meaning will depend on the context of your spread

The most common 2 card spreads I recommend to newer readers are:

  • The 2 card cross (otherwise known as “The Fool’s Journey”)
  • The 2 card “Yes or No”

“The Fool’s Journey”

Setup: The two card cross is where you place two cards face up, one placed vertically and with one laying horizontally over

Interpretation: The 2 cards represent a “situation” and a “challenge”. The first card will describe the situation you are in with the second horizontal card being the “challenge” crossing you (literally crossing you in this case!)

Reading: Using the overviews in this guide is a great way to start. First, look at the meanings of the 2 cards, and see how they might relate either as your “situation” or “challenge”. Once you have that you can look at the general overview for how the two cards interact with each other.

The benefit of this spread is that it can give clarity when you’re feeling uncertain or anxious. Once you have clarity of thought, and a strong idea of what your challenge is you can find solutions to help your situation

The 2 card “Yes or No”

Setup: The 2 card “Yes or No” is where you place two cards face up side by side, whilst asking your deck a “yes or no” question.

Interpretation: Each card in a tarot deck has a “yes” or a “no” meaning. Look at the meanings of each card, and you will have your answer.

The benefit of this is you get a stronger yes or no compared to a single card draw. You may find you often get a mix of “yes or no”, and this is fine. It simply means there is doubt, or things are not yet clear.

Yes or No meaning

Things are a bit tricky for this combination, as 6 Of Pentacles and 5 Of Swords mean different things. The cards are unsure about your question, or the answer to the question has not yet been decided.

The “Yes” and “No” meanings can differ from reader to reader. The meanings here are based on what I believe are the generally accepted definitions.

What does 6 Of Pentacles mean?

The 6 of Pentacles Tarot card is an indication of a need for balance in all three aspects of life mentioned: health, finances, and relationships. It suggests that one should take the time to think about what areas may be imbalanced, and make gentle adjustments to bring them back into balance.

Health wise, the 6 of Pentacles Tarot card can suggest a time to give and receive help and support either physically or emotionally. It may be necessary to look at one’s physical and mental health, and determine whether there are any changes that should be made in order to achieve greater balance and well-being. Receiving help or support in these areas is encouraged, as it can help one to take care of themselves and achieve a healthier state.

In terms of finances, the 6 of Pentacles Tarot card can indicate a need for balance between giving and receiving. It suggests that one should be generous with their resources and be willing to give to those who need it, but also be aware of their own needs and be sure not to overgive. Finding the balance between spending and saving, as well as looking for ways to increase income can help to find the financial balance and security one may be seeking.

In terms of relationships, the 6 of Pentacles Tarot card can indicate a need for balance between support given and received. It is important to both give and receive in relationships, and this card suggests that one should be open to both. Giving and receiving in relationships should be done with thoughtfulness and sensitivity, as well as a willingness to understand and be understanding of the other person’s needs. Achieving a balance between giving and receiving in relationships allows both parties to feel fulfilled, secure, and valued.

Finances

The 5 Of Swords Tarot card can refer to financial difficulties. It can indicate a lack of money due to spending beyond one’s means, theft, or being taken advantage of. It can also suggest manipulative or unfair business practices, such as fraud, embezzlement, or being taken advantage of by someone in a position of power. On the other hand, this card can also represent taking steps to solve financial problems and manage one’s money better, such as budgeting and seeking financial advice.

Relationships
