[INSERT 2][INSERT 4][INSERT 5]<p><br /></p>

This card represents your past. Choose the one that feels familiar:

The King of Pentacles usually represents a person in your life who is wise both emotionally and intellectually. These kinds of people are incredibly rare in life and often serve to teach you important lessons that can only be learned through living a long and colorful life. I hope you listened to what this person had to tell you. This card is in the past which means those tidbits of wisdom most likely won't appear in the future for quite a while, if ever.

King of Pentacles

In the context of your past, the Emperor represents a calling. You had a deep, innate feeling about the steps that you had to take to move forward into your bright future. To get this card, you had to be a true boss. Not just a boss, but a Vice President. Consider yourself the Vice President of Getting Shit Done! Congrats! Now, what actions will you take to answer this calling?

The Emperor

There might have been a time in your life when all you could do was sit back and wait for the cards to fall into place. You've done the time. You've done the research and found that the answer to the question you're seeking lies within. Look inside yourself for any questions that may arise from your past as you move ahead through your journey.

The High Priestess

The element of the wand suit is fire. This makes a lot of sense when looking at the Page of Wands, because this person is literally hell on wheels. Whether this person was you or someone around you, the Page of Wands represents an untamed fire that is bright as it is dangerous. There's lots of potential here for the future, but — please – proceed with caution and keep a fire extinguisher (metaphorical or otherwise) nearby. 

Page of Wands

Okay, we get it. You've got the strength to fight your battles. Does that mean you always need to put brute strength over a strong brain? No. In your past, maybe you were hot-headed and up in arms over a certain situation that you would fight to the end for. That doesn't mean you actually needed to fight to the end. After all, this card is in your past. You've made it to the present, haven't you? You wouldn't be taking this quiz if you hadn't! Embrace the beauty of letting things go. Internalize this lesson and let it resonate through to your present and future.

Seven of Wands

In tarot, some cards sound bad but actually aren't that bad. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the Devil card. As far as your past goes, the Devil represents a period of time where let yourself fall into bad habits and routines that were self-serving and ultimately harmful. This card can represent addiction in it's many forms whether that be substance abuse, depending too heavily on a relationship, or even getting a high off a certain kind of attention that didn't serve you well in the long run. The good thing about the Devil being in your past is just that — he's in the past! There are always highs and lows in life, but at least that particular low is behind you!

The Devil

The Eight of Wands represents an unsustainable hustle, which mean that you were working too hard, my friend. Sure, you know what you want out of life, and you've got a lot of drive. But hopefully you realized that working yourself to the bone doesn't really benefit you in the end. Going forward to the present and future, remember that you should always try your hardest. Just remember to have fun along the way! Don't let this past become your future, or it will certainly lead to burnout. 

Eight of Wands

This card represents a seed — something you've planted in the past that is busy growing. Maybe it's a tree? Maybe it's something you've worked really hard for. Whatever it is, the fact that it's in your past is amazing, because that seed is eventually going to sprout, turn into a sapling, and then — years and years later— turn into something greater than you could have ever imagined! You are the gardener of your life, and what you've planted in the past will eventually bear fruit.

Ace of Pentacles

Wow. I don't know what you did in your past, but it definitely paid off. The path you were on has come to end. Having reached your destination, you had the chance to relish in a moment in time where all your hard work paid off and got to reap the benefits of what you sewed. But remember — life is a cycle and everyone, no matter who they may be or what they might have accomplished, begins again as the Fool card. Pride yourself in the fact that the Sun has shined on you, but prepare yourself for a whole new journey that awaits on the other side. 

The Sun

The King of Swords means well. Really, he does. But there's more to the story than just that. This card represents a person in your life who is there for you in every way but one: emotionally. This person may support you financially or in some other physical way, but he's definitely not emotionally intelligent. What does this mean for your past? It might mean that you crave emotional connection in your present or future. Will you get that connection you're searching for? It's highly unlikely you'll get it from this person in your life, but there are other places you can look!

King of Swords

This card represents some good, old-fashioned rest and relaxation. I don't know what you were doing in your past, but you seriously needed to chill. Maybe you were hard at work trying to accomplish a goal. Maybe you were barking up the wrong tree. Basically, you stopped whatever was wearing you out, and you took a chill pill. Good for you! Just make sure you don't stay there. Now that you're rested, the world is calling!

Four of Swords

Wow, this card is so amazing. It basically represents a dream come true. You've done all the hard work and put in the time. You received praise and adoration for all your effort. But be careful! Don't forget where you came from. As far as your past is concerned, this card is telling you to pat yourself on the back, but be sure that you don't let it all go to your head!

This card represents your present. Choose the one that feels right:

The Justice cards means that you fully understand the path before you and what steps you must take next to succeed or prevail. You just have to take that path one step at a time which can often be the hardest part of all. Take responsibility for your actions and begin. Trust yourself.

Justice

You might currently be in a bit of a tiff with someone. Things are getting a little heated on both ends, and no one wants to be the first to apologize. You'll remain in this stalemate until you realize that it takes two to stay stuck but only one person to take the high road. Move along.

Two of Swords

The Ace of Wands is a spark in your life! Have you just met someone you're really crushing on? Maybe you've had a really awesome idea for an art project. Whatever this spark may be, fan it until it becomes a flame! The fire might go out eventually, but the experience you'll gain is more than worth it. 

Ace of Wands

Avoid taking extreme measures right now, okay? Temperance is a card that calls for harmony and peace. If you're religious or spiritual, spend some time diving into that energy. If you're not, go out into nature and just be with yourself. Feel the balance of life and recharge your batteries. 

Temperance

The Knight of Pentacles is a hard-working dude and can represent you or someone in your life. He has the skills, knowledge, and drive to accomplish all of his goals. Even if the end result isn't quite as glamorous or cookie cutter as those perfect Instagram influencers make it seem, the Knight of Pentacles is there to share advice and help move you along on your present path. Keep an eye out for this figure (especially if it's you) and listen to what they have to say. 

Knight of Pentacles

In the context of your present, the Three of Cups means you've found or are close to finding a group of people who aren't your family but feel like they are. We're talking real human connection here. These people will have your back through thick and thin. Keep these people close especially now. People are stronger in numbers.

Three of Cups

It's time to celebrate! The Four of Wands card means that there's something you are celebrating or need to celebrate. You worked hard in the past, and now it's time to have some fun! Not too much fun though. The future awaits.

Four of Wands

The Hanged Man usually represents a period of time where you're holding yourself back from doing something you want or are scared to do. You must forge ahead and stop being your own worst enemy. Be your own best friend and watch how drastically your life will improve.

The Hanged Man

This card represents a specific person in your life right now who may be a motherly or maternal figure to you. It could also just be that person in your life who's the "mom" of the friend group. It's rare we're presented with these beautiful souls in our lives, so take advantage of their time, energy, and resources while you have them around. Appreciate them. Listen to what they have to say. Learn from their mistakes. 

Queen of Cups

If things in the past have been a little rough, I've got good news. The Six of Pentacles represents that the scales of justice are tipping in your favor as a result of your hard work. This is still no time for relaxing, so keep forging ahead. But also be sure to pat yourself on the back. You're doing amazing. 

Six of Pentacles

The Seven of Pentacles is a super tedious card. It means that you have a lot of stuff on your plate, and all of it is really small, dumb, and menial. But, unfortunately, it has to be done. Get it over with. Don't let the little chores accumulate. Rip the bandaid off, my friend. 

Seven of Pentacles

Your past has brought you to a crossroads. Things haven't been the easiest, and there might be pressure in your life causing unnecessary stress. This can often come in the form of a strained romance, an unbalanced friendship, or even college majors that turn out to just not be right for you. Let go. Not because you're giving up. You're just giving in to what your soul has been trying to tell you all along. It's just not working. 

Six of Swords

This card represents your future. Choose wisely: 

Okay, brace yourself. The Tower isn't a fun card. Basically, what this card means is that you're going to get put through hella trials and tribulations. Does this sound fun? Hell no. But think of this card as a phoenix. Sure, you're going to burn, and it's going to hurt really badly. But you'll rise from the ashes. That's where you're going to grow into a bigger, better you. In its wake, the Tower leaves behind only the essentials. Think of it as a forest fire. Everything is going to burn down around you, but the forest will be better because of it in the end. 

The Tower

There's a pretty emotionally volatile fight coming your way, friend. Emotions are going to run high, and you're going to feel like one of those cartoon characters whose faces turn bright red with anger. Manifest these emotions, but remember — what you're fighting about might not really be what you're actually fighting about. Dive into those emotions because that is where healing begins and the seed of real, honest communication starts to bloom.

Five of Wands

Okay, I'm not going to lie. This card sucks. It hits you in all those emotionally vulnerable stops that always feel a little sensitive anyway. The Eight of Cups in your future means you're going to have to let something go. It's going to feel wrong and weird, but you have to let it go to move on. This often comes in the form of a breakup or letting go of something you really care for. It will hurt, but you're going to be better for it in the end. Gather your support system and know that you're going to make it through.

Eight of Cups

I know this card sounds really scary, but bear with me. You're not going to die. This card rarely implies an actual death. What the Death card means in terms of your future is that something is going to end. This can be the end of an era, friendship, or career trajectory. It's usually for the best that these things end, so try to keep an eye out for a silver lining. 

Death

This card represents a fear-based paralysis. Something is going to have you shaking in your boots, and you're going to be scared to take even the smallest step forward. Go on and take that step, okay? Push through the fear. After all, fear is natural and normal. Letting yourself get caught up in that fear? That's unfair to yourself. 

Eight of Swords

Okay, don't freak out. You're going to need to watch out for a person who may seem wise, but they're really just bitter. Old age doesn't always mean that the person you're talking to is wise. Even the elderly have been burned, and the Queen of Swords is going to lean on you because of the mistakes of their past. Set healthy boundaries from the get-go. That's the only way you'll get ahead.

Queen of Swords

The Eight of Pentacles is definitely not a bad card, but the good that comes with this it is non unearned.  To make your dreams come true, you will have to forge the life you have envisioned for yourself. Who else is going to do this for you? Don't become complacent. Your life is waiting. Answer its call through hard work.

Eight of Pentacles

Sometimes, it's the things we bury that we need to find the most. The Moon means that there's going to be something in your future that isn't easy to face. It might take a lot of thought and planning, but you're going to find the light, my friend. Connect with the wildness of the world that surrounds you and give into illusion. This is a time for diving deep, so don't be afraid to stray from the shallow.

The Moon

This card is a tough one. The Three of Swords represents something that really frickin' hurts. It's more than likely a betrayal of trust in which someone that you hold dear lies to your face. Try and not stress too much. You will move past this. Besides, it's not so much the betrayal than the feelings that come with betrayal that make this card so daunting. You are going to get through this. Just remember that pain is often a sign that you're growing. They don't call it growing pains for nothing. 

Three of Swords

Everything seems like it's going fine, right? How come there's that feeling of disorder and chaos lurking above your consciousness? Pay attention to what your soul is telling you. You're going to enter a period of illusion. This period may seem like a gift. It may seem right. But is it? Is it really? Check in with yourself every now and again to make sure you don't wander aimlessly into this card and get lost there forever. 

Seven of Cups

Hard work is... well, hard. Your future is going to call for you to really put the pedal to the metal and work as hard as you can to achieve a goal or dream. You're going to be so close to your destination, and you're going to want to quit because you're so dang tired. Give yourself a five minute break and then dive right back in. Dreams come true through determination. Keep up your momentum and break the tape.

Nine of Wands

Saddle up, friend, because you're about to go on a journey. This could be either physical or metaphorical, but no matter which one your journey is, you're going to end up in a different place. It's not going to necessarily be easy or the most fun, but your destination awaits. Look toward the horizon.
