Hi Steph,,
As you did not have a specific question, I asked the cards to draw your attention to what is most pertinent to your current situation which you may or may not be aware of.
I am using the Rider Waite deck.
Ace of Pentacles: Element Earth.
Aces are all indicative of new beginnings. As such these beginnings are like gifts from the divine as every Ace card is depicted with a hand coming out of the clouds and offering a new beginning pertinent to that suit. Pentacles (coins) deal with our material and physical world: finances, money, health, physical well being, jobs, material and physical needs and so on. So, with that in mind, a new beginning in the areas of finance, possible job opportunities, material gains and/or financial windfalls are in the books for you. As this is a new beginning, it may not have happened or is about to happen soon.
Knight of Swords: Element Air.
Hmmm we jump from the financial and material abundance to a person in the figure of this Knight who is on a horse and galloping fast through the clouds and with a sword in one hand. This knight is an Air sign – Gemini, Libra or Aquarius. Knights are usually people around us, present or about to make an entrance into our life. The Knight of Swords is not what I would describe Mr Sentimentality or a great demonstrator of emotions. He is all talk, talk and even if there was any action substantiating his words, they may be short-lived or even unaccomplished promises or deeds. He is always on the go, making an appointment and either not showing up or showing up late; he promises things and may not deliver them and comes up with some lame excuses. If there was any charm about his persona, it is usually short-lived and possibly to look after his own agenda. If there is someone like this around you, just be aware of what kind of a person he/she can turn out to be. I am not writing him off completely, but just be careful and use your own judgement and follow your instincts.
Seven of Swords: Element Air.
We have another Air element here which at first glance brought the word treachery to my mind. We see here a man leaving the scene of a fayre or a festival carrying (possibly stealing) five swords and leaving the others behind whilst thinking, damn, I could have carried those too but he is unable to. If this represents a situation that you find yourself in, I would say you are just minimising your losses and moving on with whatever you can salvage from that situation. But as this card showed up next to the Knight of Swords, I am inclined to say and stick to the first word that came to my mind – treachery. Be aware!
Three of Cups: Element of Water.
It is not all doom and gloom, Steph. Here we see three maidens raising their cups celebrating something and having a party. It is time to let your hair down and gather around with friends and give thanks for the blessings that you have been bestowed upon.
After certain trials and tribulations, which I can only attribute to the two sword cards above, I feel you will have reasons to celebrate.
I trust this reading resonated with your current situation.
All the best.
