Tarot Pairs: The Ace of Cups Reversed and the Star Reversed

When the Ace of Cups and the Star show up reversed together in a reading, it is a strong indication that the querant is going through an emotionally challenging phase of their life.

Tarot Pairs: The Hierophant and the Six of Wands Reversed

The Hierophant can represent conformity, structured, formalized education, organized religion or a combination of any or all of them. It can also represent a person or an institution that displays those characteristics. The Six of Wands is about success, leadership, and being acknowledged for your achievements. Reversed, it is more probable that this card is referring to someone who is not much of a leader, and not very successful.

Tarot Pairs: Page of Wands and Seven of Pentacles

The Page of Wands is all about youthful energy, creativity and passion. They’re keen to start new projects but don’t always follow through. The Seven of Pentacles has worked hard and gotten results, but there is still plenty of work to be done. So what happens when they get together in a reading.

Tarot Pairs: Eight of Pentacles Reversed and Two of Swords

The Eight of Pentacles is all about mastering your craft, often about work, but really anything related to the material, such as financial matters or health. So when this card reverses it can signify that something is amiss in this area. When the two of swords comes up with it, this can indicate that it is time to consider and decide what to do about it, perhaps before a decision is made for you.

Tarot Pairs: Six of Cups Reversed and Four of Pentacles

The Six of Cups reversed can indicate that the past has too much of a hold over someone. That past might include trauma experienced in a family situation or a relationship. The Four of Pentacles reinforces this inability to let go.

Tarot Pairs: Five of Swords, The Lovers Reversed

The pairing of the Five of Swords and the Lovers reversed is an unwelcome sight in a relationship thread, unless you’re looking for confirmation that the relationship is off the rails, and in that case you probably already know that. Of course, Tarot is a great tool for telling you what you probably already know, but it does help you focus.
