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

5 of Disks

Mercury in Taurus – Worry

The Number Five, Geburah, in the suit of Earth, shows the disruption of the Elements, just as in the other suits. This is emphasised by the rule of Mercury in Taurus, types of energy which are opposed. It needs a very powerful Mercury to upset Taurus; so, the natural meaning is Intelligence applied to Labour.

The symbol represents five disks in the form of the inverted Pentagram, instability in the very foundations of Matter. The effect is that of an earthquake. They are, however, representative of the five Tattvas; these hold together, on a very low plane, an organism which would otherwise disrupt completely. The background is an angry, ugly red with yellow markings. The general effect is one of intense strain; yet the symbol implies long-continued inaction.
