One Card Tarot Reading

Difficulty: Very easy

The one card tarot reading is good for times when you want to focus on one thing without any potential complications. It can be used for just about any question you can ask, including to draw a card of the day, week, or even your ultimate destiny. It can also be used in succession, as some readers like to pull one card at a time as a story unfolds. Some readers don’t even like to use actual spreads, relying on this method alone.

Your Card

8 of Cups

Saturn in Pisces – Indolence

Lotuses droop for lack of sun and rain, and the soil is poison to them; only two of the stems show blossoms at all. The cups are shallow, old and broken. They are arranged in three rows; of these the upper row of three is quite empty. Water trickles from the two flowers into the two central cups, and they drip into the two lowest without filling them. The background of the card shows pools, or lagoons, in very extensive country, incapable of cultivation; only disease and miasma tic poison can flourish in those vast Bad Lands. The water is dark and muddy. On the horizon is a pallid, yellowish light, weighed down by leaden clouds of indigo.
