A key aspect of reading your own tarot is interpreting cards. For a beginner interpreting a single card can be fine, as there are plenty of resources to help you out, however interpreting two or more can be very tricky.
However, if you have been practising single card readings for a while a 2 card spread will be a great introduction into reading multiple cards.
As you’ve found this page, you’re probably wondering how to interpret the The Empress card and 5 Of Wands card together in particular.
The The Empress card and 5 Of Wands have unique qualities and will interact with each other in different ways depending on what kind of reading you are doing.
What does The Empress and 5 Of Wands mean together?
The Empress tarot card and The 5 Of Wands tarot card together suggest that you may be facing some challenges in your life, but you have the potential to overcome them. You may need to put up a fight in order to win, but the rewards will be worth it. This combination also suggests that you are creative and have the ability to create something beautiful and abundant. You have the potential to be a great parent, but you may need to put in some extra effort to make it happen.
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 The Empress and 5 Of Wands 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 The Empress mean?
The Empress Tarot card signifies creation, abundance, fertility and good parenting. These gifts can manifest in many ways in our lives, from material wealth and abundance to good health and loving relationships. The EmpressTarot card is a reminder that we are abundant beings, capable of creating anything we desire. If we are experiencing lack or scarcity in any area of our lives, we can use the energy of The Empress to create more. This could manifest as increased income, improved health, or more fulfilling relationships. The Empress is also a reminder to nurture and care for ourselves and our loved ones. We can use her energy to create a safe, loving and nurturing environment for all to enjoy.
What does 5 Of Wands mean?
The 5 of Wands Tarot card can symbolize many things when it comes to a person’s health. It can represent challenges and obstacles that a person may face with their health. It can also represent the potential for a person to overcome these challenges and obstacles. The 5 of Wands can also symbolize the need for a person to be more active and to take care of their health.
When it comes to a person’s finances, the 5 of Wands Tarot card can symbolize competition and the need to be more assertive. It can also represent challenges and obstacles that a person may face in their financial life. The 5 of Wands can also symbolize the potential for a person to overcome these challenges and obstacles.
When it comes to a person’s relationships, the 5 of Wands Tarot card can symbolize the need for a person to be more assertive and to take charge. It can also represent challenges and obstacles that a person may face in their relationships. The 5 of Wands can also symbolize the potential for a person to overcome these challenges and obstacles.
Conclusion
Understanding how the meaning of a reading changes once you start involving more than one card can be tricky. This will come with time and practice, however I hope this guide on what your cards might be telling you when you draw The Empress and 5 Of Wands has helped you.
