This is a mini tutorial on how to connect the cards in a Tarot Reading. Often, in a Tarot Reading, we will interpret each card individually, but struggle with seeing how the cards relate and interact with one another. This tutorial will give you tips and techniques to help you find connections between the cards.

I also noticed cups on either side of the issue. Someone walking away from something in the past, and being offered another chance in the future - the queen is offering a cup of redemption or forgiveness.
Jess Wagstrom colours also is vital - defiantly walking away from an issue , but a positive (cups = emotion ) maybe taking one for team if you like, present position shows your decision almost haunting you still dwelling defensive about your past decision , etc .....
Jess Wagstrom Yes! 👍👍👍👍👍 I agree with your interpretation, I see the queen of cups still waiting and holding the cup of love for their return on the shore looking out to sea. 😃
I quite liked your interpretation. Thank you.
However the Queen of cup her cup is closed so I don’t see it as her offering anything but perhaps counsel my opinion
In an intuitive reading, I would see a difference between the first two cards- in the first card the figure is walking away. It suggests that they are choosing and able to do so (despite the fact that walking is not easy for them - they hold a walking stick). It's not necessarily a refusal to deal something. If you choose to walk away, you feel in the moment as if you are in control and that turning your back on the options and opportunities available is the right choice . The center card suggests that perhaps that choice did not work out so well for them, or that it caused a degree of strife. They appear weak and stressed under the weight of the swords above them. A bed is where we spend time if we are sick or depressed, and this figure appears less able to leave. The third card reveals that perhaps it was necessary to go through that experience, as the they have come out stronger. She looks pensive and thoughtful - life's experiences have led to greater knowledge, maturity, confidence and personal growth. It has not been forgotten - she has learned from it.
Yes I connect with this interpretation much more also
i agree
THIS!!!
Exactly!
There isn't a wrong way to read the cards. Your intuition and your perspective in life in general will give you the meaning that best suits the situation you need at a given time. There are many many different way to interpret the cards above. what resonates with the the one who is being read is the proper way to read cards.
This is a great video! Thanks for the great tips!!
The eight of cups are emotional attachments from the past and which no longer serve them. The decision to leave such attachments behind may be a worry at first, with the 9 swords its a completion of a particular stage in your emotional growth and the Queen of cups is basically indicating the decision was a positive outcome and progress,
Sometimes, depending on the reading, I read the 9 of Swords as "waking up from a nightmare". So, not necessarily a "negative" card, but more of a "emerging from a bad situation", but dealing with the fallout (sometimes I see it almost like "having a hangover"... waking from a bad dream and it kind of stays with you throughout the day). Then with the Queen of Cups, rising above the emotional turmoil of the situation.
What a great way to read this card.
Excellent
I saw a significant emotional loss in the past that is causing emotional distress in the present but that the future sees you mastering your emotions and being in a much better place! We will of course interpret differently but your explanation of connecting the cards was very useful and it will definitely help me in the future. Thank you 🙏❤️
I took this as recently walking away from something / someone that no longer served you + the 9 of swords is needing to deal with the emotions, perhaps grief and potential regret of that decision. The Queen is moving into a stage of acceptance and regaining emotional stability once you’ve dealt with the feelings you need to that come with walking away / choosing a different path
Someone made a hard decision based on intuition not knowing what would unfold ahead. Current, their is worry about decision made, hence sleepless nights and anxiety- but the card assures that the negative phase is almost complete. It is really not a big deal as what the person is making it out to be (self destructive thinking). Last card assures that the person will find balance and use experience to have a strong foundation going forward.
Thank you so much for sharing. As beginner of Tarot, I find myself struggling to connect the cards. Its can be so frustrating to the point of giving up. So i am appreciative of your tips on how to connect the overall picture.
how’s your progress now ?
How are you now ?
New to this. First card I felt was walking away from addictions or something no longer serving them. The 2nd card reminded me of depression and late night tossing and turning. I felt it was because of the past hurt. The queen of cups made me think of a mother who is nurturing and very sensitive to the needs of others. Maybe they are going to get counseling and everything falls in place.
I tried to do a practice spread. Not even asking spirit questions but the spread just hit home so hard. Tarot is wonderful
That's really cool! Thanks for the explanation. My reading for these cards goes like this: There was a moment of scarcity or a feeling of lack despite the fact that you are actually surrounded with abundance. You dont see it nor realize it. Because of this, you feel alone and stuck and you think there's no way out. However, the 10 of swords is reminding you that you are not alone and if you look inwards, you will find that you actually have it in you to rise through your current situations. Listen to your inner self and appreciate all the blessings around you, big or small. The queen of cups is encouraging you to reflect and she's telling you that you will be guided throughout your emotional transitions. She's reminding you to be gentle to yourself and to try and remember what truly brings you happiness.
It's 2020 and I'm immersed in the study of Tarot to give structure & depth to my intuitive coaching. I love love love the idea of having the cards speak to each other!!!! It is synergy to the way I practice. THANK YOU! From new subscriber :)
i interpret this as someone leaving a relationship yet it causes a lot of pain for them because they miss their old partner. they eventually step into their power and realize to be comfortable with their emotions and that its okay to feel heartbroken. they still keep their old partner in mind, but it doesn't affect them as much.
I read the eight of cups as someone who’s walking away from a thing place or situation that has served its purpose in your life I see it as moving on from things that no longer serve you or maybe walking towards something better in a positive aspect because as you see the cups are empty so to me that is revealing that they you have took what you needed from them and they have served their purpose the nine of swords I read as maybe someone being very stressed and having anxiety and being kept up by their thoughts or feelings about a situation maybe fears I don’t see it personally as refusing to see more like seeing but being stressed by what they see or feel
For me, anxiety is always a fear of the future. The swords In the 9 of swords points towards the future (east) (queen of cups) yet the figure will not uncover their eyes to see. If they did, they could see the advice the Queen of Cups has to offer, as she sits calmy in the present moment appreciating her cup.
I agree with Niamh, your first comment, that it represents waking from a nightmare, waking from a bad situation which would make more sense from the first card that shows someone walking away from a bad situation. And the second card would be waking up from a bad situation. And the Queen of cups would represent her position afterward.
I really like the idea of having the cards dialogue with one another. In the case of the 9 of Swords, I imagine a kind of anxious, fevered monologue -- fears and concerns rolling off the tongue with little space to hear what someone else may be trying to tell them. The Queen of Cups listens to this diatribe patiently, knowingly, aware that the best tactic is to simply be present. Almost like letting a toddler wear him or herself down in a tantrum.
Thanks for the great video:) I have been collecting a few tarot decks over the years, but have never really been serious about learning much about them until recently. I have been finding it hard to connect each card in a reading, and your explanation and example has really made it easier for me to conceptualize how the different cards can interact and speak to each other. Thanks again :)
Very interesting & good to know ! I never head of this tip before in any CZcams tarot lessons . Thank you
I see someone deserting a bad situation. The second is great worry about something. The third is a Woman who has great emotions and can overcome this situation and regain her happiness. Cups is about emotion . And having to overcome these emotions and issues
I love how you have the card covered I love watching it bounce around
The past in which some emotional work was either rejected or neglected gives rise to regret and anguish. The future offers forgiveness, and possible resolution of the original omission. Maybe.
Why I'm looking for clarity on ways to look and interpret cards n this spread resonate with my life I'm over here shook wow. I was guided here impressive
I found your channel this week and I cant stop watching! hahaha you are amazing, thank you :D
Awww, thanks Rafaella!!! Glad you're enjoying my vids :)
I’m so glad I came across this video! I’m very new to tarot reading and this is my first aha moment! Very nice and helpful , thank you so much for doing this ~ 🌞
Yay! That makes me so happy to hear, Billie :) Good luck to you on your Tarot journey!
thank you so much for a quick unswer, just got myself mini christmass present! xx
needed this video for my readings! Love that you are very clear!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
This is really helpful! Thanks for your time🌸
I had a love spread for a friend where one card was about conflict and the next was about blissful love, only for the next to be about regret and the next about soulmates and vice versa. I was so confused about the mixed messages. Thank you for the video, I will try to connect the cards to one another. My main feeling was that the happiness is only superficial while deep down inside the couple (or at least one partner) is unhappy.
Low key love the way you say "hello this is Kate" your voice is wonderfully calming also love your content ❤
😊 thank you
This is funny because the example reading related to my own life right now.
since it 2 years now already, do you still agree about the queen of cups.
Thank You! I've always struggled with connecting the cards and this really helps. :)
Good to hear :) Thanks for watching, Crow!
The first thing that hit me when you turned over the third card is the two figures on the right facing each other. The one in the middle is exhausted after a long emotional or psychological journey/battle, and the Queen is turned to acknowledge them and offer emotional strength.
Your videos are really helpful! Please keep them coming. Your voice is very soothing to listen to lol.
I really like the ladder concept this is a brilliant video
Thank you! Sometimes I do focus on the suits, other times I totally forget to - so I guess you could say that I go with my gut feeling on that one ;)
Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Very helpful intuitive and direct.
Good to hear! Thank you for watching :)
Wonderful and helpful tips. Thank you
GREAT explanation!!
Thank you 🙏
I feel like this reading is for me . Thank you
This was very helpful to me! I just started tarot and my deck came with a guide that I’m very thankful for but with the book and some continued learning from people like you here on CZcams has been an amazing help! Thank you for this video and I hope you’re day is great!
I'm so happy you found my video helpful :) Thanks for letting me know! Best wishes to you as you start your Tarot journey!
I love the way you teach tarot it is thorough but to the point thank you soouch
Thank you Debra :)
Thank you💖💫 This is very helpful...
I like that interpretation of the 9 of swords - makes sense!
I was drawn to this spread as I saw it. I think spirit drifted me in your direction today.
Thank you
Wow. Very insightful
Great tips and interpretations!! Funny how I feel like I been in this circumstance before!!
Glad you enjoyed this, David :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you Tracy :) I am happy that you found my video helpful!
I love the dialogue idea, very interesting
Really well done. Thank you 😊
big help! thank you!!
This reminds me a bit of Carl Jung's 'active imagination' that he used as a tool during depth analysis - by having the various facets of one's personality converse with each other - whether it was regarding dreams or fantasies , etc.
I’ve always felt tarot is related to Jungian theory bc of the archetypal pictorial representations and bc tarot explores the unconscious as a collective, employing Judeo-Christian and Hermetic ideology. One’s intuition taps into the collective unconscious to discern meaning. Guiding principle: ‘As above, so below’
What if a man was leaving the woman & she overcame her depression & became the Queen of Cups? Would you place another card or two below the 9 of swords to find out what may have occurred to explain this huge transformation?
👍
The lovely thing is that there’s no right or wrong answer on interpretation, you could be pulling another energy and completely different scenario that could resonate with someone else
I see the man walking away in the past now he is regretting it and thinking about going towards his queen of cups
That's exactly what I got!
Well explained!!
Excellent content and information 👍
Thankyou much for these points. ♡☆♡
These are wonderful educational videos for ppl.
Thank you...That was very helpful! 😉
Very well explained
I loved all your videos,,,,,
Wonderful teaching though. 💕
This was such an amazing way to look at the cards, thank you, even thought this was written in 2012, it has helped me to be more open in my Readings, Love Sekhmet Sapphyre-Sun💓😻🙏🏾
I'm so glad my video was helpful for you :) Thanks for watching!
Same here.
Like they say Readings are timeless needed to hear this lol but great break down!
This is wild, so, I did a spread last night to see where I am locked up in my life and how to break free and the first card I pulled was the Queen of Cups. (In the booklet I like to reference the Queen of Cups talks about getting out of your head and into your heart.)
This morning I decided to look up a video on how to interpret the cards in comparison to each other because I'd like to improve on that. Well, this video came up.
What's amazing is this PPF spread from 10 years ago accurately describes my past, and lines up perfectly with the spread I did last night!
Thank you!
hey where in the works for doing our third show can we use your video?
i just a got a new deck and as i was shuffling and as she was explains the first card 8 of cups flew out!
Great, thanks
wow.. this was absolutely beautiful.. thank u so much..!!
thanks for watching :)
I just watched your March 18 video before this one. I am new to your channel. This is the second video I am now seeing. Strange that two of the three cards in both videos are the same, 8 of cups and queen of cups.
Hmm Im not sure if you have actually looked up the meanings of these cards, but the 8 of cups meaning is that the man is choosing to walk away from something....he is leaving behind the full cups behind him and crossing the river to the other side, the 9 of swords can indicate emotional turmoil and unrest....they are two very different cards, def not similar. (holy, I just noticed this vid is 10 years old so Im sure you have learned even more since then, sorry I had no idea it was that old lol).
Thank you LOL Seriously I have a channel and I'm trying to keep faith that I'm connecting them well
Thank You
I enjoy all your vidio God bless you I'm leaning a lot 😆🤗🤗🤗🤗
I will be 65 on July 10th. I have had many ladies in my life that were self-described as "White Witches". When I was 20 years old , I was taught to read The Tarot by a couple of them. Please give me your thoughts on this; " The Fool on the Hill see's the Sun going down, and the Eyes in his Head see the World going round ". I see the lay-out as ; first card , The Fool , second card , The Sun ( inverted) & third card , The World . I
Thanks!!
Your videos are very helpful but I have a question on a reading I did for myself and it totally confused me bc the results I got didn't pertain to the question at all. If you could help me, that would be great! Thanks and again, love your videos and site! :-)
I bought my first pack of tarot cards today I'm watching this to learn how to read them
Congrats on getting your first deck!!!! That's exciting :)
tree of life card background.? it looks beautiful.
Yayyyyy. I believe that I'm going to leave my interpretation. What do you all think?
The first two wouldn't talk. I'm not into their dialoging when they just wouldn't. The Queen's love and wisdom, however, would be felt by the other two if they were even slightly open to help. So the point is that the first two, if they are seeking release, seeking another way, they would receive it. Also, please do more of these vids. They help tons, reading the comments helps tons too
The Queen of cups is like the girl in the present's Higher & Future Self, and her love is unconditional and spilling over, my cup runneth over.....the healing power of love and the light of day and beautiful nature, the water can wash away her tears and fears, and illusions.....
I bought a tarot deck thinking I was going to be picking it up quickly. Yeah...no lol. Thank you for posting this video, its helping at lot!
Yeah, learning Tarot is a really slow process - it helps if you see it as a journey or an adventure...take your time, don't rush it!
1 card is emptional distatisfaction
2 card is emotional turmoil both means moving on something that not giving emotional statisfaction and which giving not giving mental peace.
3 emotional statisfaction after moving on from this situtaion
This was so helpful! As an Astrologer for 20 years and now learning Tarot, this video really made things easier to remember! A quick video with essential information just the way I like it! 🤍🤍🤍
Yay! Glad this was helpful for you :) Thanks for watching!
Awesome
Tarot is the only truth out there
When the Queen of cups was flipped I immediately seen her as an higher power coming to help
What does it mean if when you draw the cards you get the High Priestess the Hang Man and the Star? does anyone know?
Thankyou
What deck is this? I need a deck like this and am new so thank you for the clear explanation.
Universal rider waite tarot deck
Today, I drawn the. #1 The Hangedman. #2 Ace of wands. #3 Four of swords. My question was how do get along with my day and what to expect? Don't know how to interpret this, can you help me?
Awesome! Thanks hun! :-)
You are so talented in symbolism and reading the cards. Do you put much weight on what suits comes up in a reading? Or just your gut feeling? :-)
to me ihe first 2 cards come to me as the person is walking away from a situation and looking up tto God for strength and the first will find strength in doing this? my question is the numbers they both have the numbers are what get me
Hello! I'm learning how to read tarot cards but im having trouble making connections between cards. For example I asked a question about someone's feelings and I got the tower and the hierophant but i didn't understand so i asked for a clarifier and got the justice.
Then I asked if they would have a relationship and I got temperance.
I think is a positive reading. Can you confirm that? Thank you!!
So that person maybe currently feel really bad, feel like they have fall off from somewhere high in their life, and they feel disapointed.
Temperance for a relationship is actually really nice, since that relationship can bring to both of them the balance and peace that they need in their lives.
Are you reading from your left to right or the questioner’s?
Which cards are these I'd like to buy
Yeah, exactly. I did a reading for myself as practice and the cards didn't make sense at all to the
yess I can never find anybody with this same deck!!
