How to Read the Fives | Tarot Cards Video Lecture | Tarot Reading: Read Tarot Cards to know all the Answers - Professional Skills

hello I'm Ellen Goldberg and welcome to
a Tarot moment with the school of
Oracle's in this segment we're going to
take a brief overview of the five s of
the four suits of the Minor Arcana the
fives belong to the Saphira called
guevara which is severity this is the
tough love
Saphira on the tree of life and
kabbalists say that it is also the
origin of evil because evil has to come
from somewhere why do they say it comes
from cavora because the harshness the
judgment and assessment that the water
gives and which is necessary but if
unchecked by its partner has said
complete gratuitous mercy on the other
side judgment harshness unchecked by
love that creates evil guevara is not
all evil it's really part of the testing
process as one goes up the tree and each
of the fives of the suit is a testing
card even on its higher polarity there's
testing so you can imagine how much
testing goes on on its lower polarity
the five of ones is set the planet
saturn karma in leo the sign that rules
the heart the noble heart and with
saturn and leo the lord of strife is the
name of this card one must learn to
sport royally and learn to have a big
heart and to be fair these people are
not actually out to hurt each other it's
a game that is being played here when
this card comes in the higher polarity
it is the advice learned to sport
royalty royally
it's competition its involvement in
bracing the Battle of life which we all
must do learning how to jump in and take
it and become a player in the game of
life there's so much energy here but on
the lower polarity it can turn cutthroat
the competition is not very nice and
people are out to win by any means
possible and perhaps one cannot take
that kind of strife and withdraws from
it the five of cups is called the lord
of loss and pleasure there's gray in the
background here and perhaps there is a
great wisdom that comes as we learn
about sorrow this loss in pleasure the
astrological attribution Mars in Scorpio
now Mars rule Scorpio and so the desire
nature is here there is too much desire
maybe of wanting things that have been
lost because there's a loss there notice
the three of the cups have been turned
over but to remain behind if she would
only turn behind she would see that
something remains also of this figure
would look they would see that there is
a bridge to the other side of the river
that there is transformation possible
and that there is help there is a castle
here the home perhaps that bridge is a
bridge over troubled waters
when the pleasure is present in a car
like in the Lord of pleasure which we
shall see in the six there is a liveness
but when there is a loss and pleasure
the death force is also inherent and we
know that Scorpio rules both death and
rebirth and the higher polarity this
card is learning and wisdom that comes
through your sorrows also understanding
what remains constant and real even in
the face of loss its bearing the loss
with dignity or mourning on the lower
polarity you're caught between the devil
and the deep blue sea there is nowhere
to go as they say a rock and a hard
place and that mourning is very intense
the sorrow is very deep and there is
unkindness from ones that you expected
kindness from now we look at the suit of
the sword which is the mental suit and
that has a very mental connotation the
name the Lord of defeat it's
astrological attribution is Venus and
Aquarius
Venus is love and Aquarius is a love
sign - but it's the sign of universal
love it doesn't really do very well on
the one-to-one level it's more a
friendship sign here we have to be on
friendly terms with ourselves because
what we're defeating is the voice of
slander within remember swords are
almost always talking about processes
and especially mental process
look at the sky and you see that it's
charged with energy and not necessarily
a clear and blustery balmy breeze it's
strong and there's a lot going on how we
vanquish that voice of slander within is
really equivalent to the meeting of the
dweller on the threshold we have to meet
our shadow we have to know how to say
that's not true just because you think
it doesn't make it so thoughts are not
entirely personal we must learn to
identify with the high of self and not
the lower and the higher polarity one
does that one of its meanings is
vanquishing unworthy thoughts and
emotions defeating the shadow learning
to be more positive and to see yourself
in a better light in the lower polarity
the shadow rules
and we have inner slander there is
defeat in almost any kind of situation
this card could apply to the five of
Pentacles is law called the Lord of
material trouble and it's an
astrological attribution is the planet
Mercury planet of the mind in Taurus
mercury goes fast and Taurus go slow
when Mercury's and Taurus people often
worry too much these people have a lot
to worry about as you can see they are
being tested they are out in the snow
look not only is the woman shoeless but
the man has a bell around his neck he's
a leper in the old days lepers had to
let you know when they were coming and
so they were asked to wear a bell they
are homeless on a snowy night and yet
they are so close to something that
could help them
this is the Material Plane the Pentacles
and so this card sometimes has been
called adaptation because if you learn
to adapt and use the laws of the
universe you can overcome almost any
situation here they are passing by a
spiritual place a church again there is
a stained-glass window that one should
pay great attention to because if you
look carefully you see the pattern is in
the form of an anchor the five Pentacles
are there but it's the anchor that's
interesting it's called the anchor of
hope and if they would turn inwards if
they would come to their spiritual
source and this is a call on the higher
polarity then they could adapt toil
labor effort all of the things that
tourists could be very good at are part
of the higher polarity adaptation on the
lower polarity real troubles with money
out in the cold material calamities and
misfortunes on behalf of the school of
