Example Reading of the Spread

Card 1 – The Emperor 

As a situation, the Emperor is holding you back can indicate two things. It’s either there is an individual in your life who carries the “Emperor” qualities or you being the Emperor itself. If you’re too controlling, or if someone is too controlling over you, then it means that this card indicates you being stunned emotionally, which can result in restriction. 

Card 2 – The Moon

This card is a powerful one in the “emotions you’re struggling with” category. The Moon is a card of concealed subconsciousness and feelings. It also signifies confusion and not knowing which road to go. It would seem like that because of this specific part of control in your life; it has left you feeling lost and confused.

Card 3 – Knight of Wands

The Knight of Wands is a card that represents strong energy and drive. It’s a card that never allows someone’s restrictions hold him back. In the “What you need to nurture” category, it can show that, for you to battle the feelings of confusion demonstrated by the Moon, you should nurture your own inner passions. 

The control aspect may hinder you from your passion and energy, and it may be the perfect time for you to reestablish your passionate side of nature. If the control is coming from an outside force, then developing your own passions can significantly help you break free. If it’s internal, then your desires may be able to cut loose on the chains you have bounded to yourself. This card speaks about continuing creative pursuits, which is a great passage for passion.

Card 4 – The World

The World is another card coming from the Major Arcana, and it’s interpreted as travel. This card is all about fulfillment and expansion. You will need a vacation or a holiday for a few days for you to improve your situation. A change of environment is necessary so you can break the sluggishness that you are currently in.

Card 5 – Queen of Wands

This card is called the “outcome card,” and it’s a good one in this section. The Queen of Wands represents that if you select to address the issue of control that’s holding you back, that if you listen to the advice of the World and develop your inner Knight of Wands, then the Queen of Wands awaits you. The Queen of Wands represents someone adventurous, self-confident, and bold. This someone doesn’t allow any restrictions to hold him/her back. He or she knows when to let restrictions on her for her own benefit.
