A card in the left position indicates what has happened to affect your question in the past.

Meaning: This card refers to an individual who expresses the divine qualities of love and connection embodied in the Queen of Cauldrons. This is an honest person who is driven by love and a deep sense of compassion and empathy. She is strong willed and has a natural instinct for knowing what is true and honest; she is someone who has integrity in what she does and will not let people down. This personality type is a good, incredibly devoted mother, spouse, or partner. She would give you her last penny, and her hugs are the best hugs in the whole wide world!

A card in the middle position indicates what is affecting your question at this time.

Meaning: This is a difficult card, for it seems to exemplify a truly hopeless situation where everything feels lost. What successes have come your way have been torn apart and hopes dashed; it may be that you have lost a significant amount of money or become unemployed or made redundant. I have seen this card in a reading of a man who had recently retired. His work and career formed his identity; without it, he felt that he was nothing. Of course, it is all a matter of perception. The crisis held within the Five of Shields is driven by materialistic views and the loss we feel when things that hold us to the foundations of security are ripped away from us. You may become so reliant upon your own skills and support systems that you do not feel able to ask for help, but the time has come; there is no shame in reaching out. All will be well, but you must trust.

A card in the right position indicates your questions future.

Meaning: You are faced with a situation where indecision will lead only to separation, numbness, and potential toxicity. It may be that you have taken on so much that you cannot see the way ahead clearly; amidst all these choices, it makes more sense to you to simply shut yourself away and ignore them. This will not alleviate the issue; it will be there waiting for you when you least expect it. This is a card of someone firmly sitting on the fence, too scared to move forward lest something goes horribly wrong, but is there really anything to suggest it will? Take off that blindfold—you are more than capable of doing so; after all, it was you who positioned it in the first place. Your mental and emotional well-being are being hindered by indecision, and overthinking the situation will do no good. Your heart does not need protecting; it needs to be set free.
