š® Tarot Taps July 23, 2025
Crumbs? Nah. Sheās ready for the crown. ššš
"Itās hard watching someone you love settle for crumbs when you KNOW they deserve the whole damn bakeryā¦ But you canāt teach someone to stop starving if theyāve never felt full."
And letās be real:
"Taking days off from a life you havenāt even started? Thatās boldā¦ and broke." šāāļøš«£š³
This spread came in hot with cosmic truth, emotional fatigue, and a loud reminder that sometimes love means stepping back and letting someone else want better for themselves.
Weāre working with a Celtic Cross, and the energy is thick with kings, divine masculinity, spiritual tests, and a burning question of self worth. Letās get into the essence of each card and the spirit behind the message.
š Present
Six of Cups
(Water Element)
This card flows with emotional memory. The past is not just lingering itās haunting. Someone here is longing for a version of life that once felt safe, simple, even sweet. But clinging to that nostalgia is delaying the growth they so badly need. There's a childlike energy at play, maybe even codependency, wrapped in a yearning for what once was instead of facing the pain of what is.
"Memory isnāt truth itās a love letter to what we needed at the time. Let the past be beautiful, but donāt let it trap you."
Element Message: Water flows, but it also drowns. Emotions must be honored but not idolized.
Numerology: 6 is about harmony, balance, and relationships. The question is: at what cost?
ā” Conflict
The Hierophant Reversed
(Earth Element)
The traditional way just isn't working anymore. This reversed Hierophant screams of rebellion against structure but is it true freedom, or just emotional avoidance? Someone is resisting wisdom, mentorship, or guidanceā¦ and staying stuck in their suffering out of pride or ignorance.
"Sometimes breaking the rules feels like freedom, but chaos dressed in rebellion still keeps you chained."
Element Message: Earth turned upside-down becomes unstable. When thereās no grounding, things crumble fast.
Numerology: 5 brings conflict, challenge, and necessary change. Growing pains are real.
š Past
King of Cups
(Water Element)
An emotionally mature presence possibly a supportive mother/ father figure, friend, or mentor has been an anchor in the past. This King feels deeply, but controls his expression with wisdom. In the past position, it can also show what was lost emotional balance, or a person who brought peace.
āI am the calm beneath their chaos the part theyāll never thank, never see, but always feel. Thatās what love looks like when it chooses quiet over control.ā
Archetype Insight: King #1: The Healer. She/He loves deeply but knows when to hold it back.
āWisdom is knowing when to speakā¦ and when to let silence become the teacher.ā
š„ Root
King of Wands
(Fire Element)
āJust because someone burns loud doesnāt mean they burn true. Donāt follow flames, watch for the ones who build with light.ā
This is the visionary. The natural born leader. The confident, magnetic force who can make moves happen when heās aligned. When he's not, he gets cocky, lazy, or manipulative. This card at the root says: the foundation here is powerful but itās not being activated. That drive is either being wasted or misdirected.
Archetype Insight: King #2: The Commander. Passion without purpose is chaos.
āWeāve got to stop confusing ego for leadership. A loud voice with no confidence is just a spark with no follow through. Fire isnāt about what you say, itās about what you build.ā
āIf the charm comes without character, itās just a distraction dressed in sparkle.ā
š„ Crown
Ace of Wands
(Fire Element)
The potential is right here. This card is the divine spark: a burst of passion, opportunity, and creation. But in the crown? Itās floating above someoneās head like a dream theyāre not reaching for. The ideaās there, the fireās litā¦ but action is nowhere to be seen. It's the match that never hits the strike.
Element Message: Fire ignored burns nothing. Fire harnessed changes everything.
Numerology: Aces = 1 = new beginnings. But beginnings mean nothing without commitment.
š Near Future
Four of Wands Reversed
(Fire Element)
False stability. A āhappy home/relationship ā that looks good in pictures but feels hollow in person. This card suggests a breakdown in harmony maybe even rejection, feeling left out of celebration, or being with people who arenāt clapping for your growth. Prepare for a shake-up in what you thought was solid.
āSometimes the silence in a relationshipis louder than any fight. Itās not the screaming that breaks us itās the pretending.ā
Numerology: 4 is structure and security. Reversed, that structure is cracking.
Dont smile for the picture. But disappear in the background.ā
š You/Me
King of Pentacles
(Earth Element)
āYou donāt have to prove your worth itās in what you grow, what you protect, and what youāve already paid for in full.ā
This is YOU, standing strong in your worth. The grounded one. The provider. The person who knows how to build, how to lead, how to love with stability. You're the King in the room filled with jesters and broken promises. This card reminds you: stay firm. Stay focused. You are the blueprint.
āSuccess isnāt just what you hold itās what you sustain. The foundation matters more than the spotlight.ā
Archetype Insight: King #3: The Builder. While others dream, you deliver.
āBuild with grace. Build with grit. And never take shortcuts whatās real doesnāt rush.ā
š¬ļø External
Five of Pentacles Reversed
(Earth Element)
āSometimes the bravest thing you can doā¦ is walk away. Not because youāre giving up, but because youāre finally choosing yourself.ā
Someone is trying to come out of lackā¦ but they donāt want to do the work. This is "help me" energy that doesnāt accept help. Victim mentality may be lifting just a little, but unless they move, they stay stuck. Itās time to walk through the door, not cry beside it.
You canāt heal from what is broken by hiding from it. The only way to the next door is through the trembling...face it, and walk anyway.ā
Numerology: Another 5. More conflict. Growth is calling, and it wonāt stop.
š Hopes & Fears
Nine of Pentacles
(Earth Element)
Hereās the fantasy: peace, independence, soft luxury, and being unbothered. But thereās fear around doing it alone. Around needing no one. Around choosing yourself. This card is the divine feminine in full bloom but not everyoneās ready to see her thrive.
Numerology: 9 = completion, wisdom, self-mastery.
š Outcome
The World
(Element of Spirit / All Elements United)
Completion. Graduation. Liberation. The World says: youāve done enough. Learned enough. Given enough. Itās time to move forward, close the loop, and claim the next level. Not everyone gets to go with you. And not everyone should.
Element Message: This is the card of all elements. Balance. Mastery. Wholeness.
Numerology: 21 ā 2+1 = 3 = creative rebirth and soul expression.
š Triple Kings Meaning:
When three Kings appear, divine masculine energy is dominating the reading. This isnāt about men, itās about power, structure, protection, provision, and action. The Kings show what could beā¦ but also whatās missing.
Theyāre a message: "Itās time to rise up and lead or step aside."
š¢ Numerology Repeats to Watch:
Three 5s ā Change, disruption, lessons through struggle
Three Kings ā Power, control, leadership, maturity
Nine (x2) ā Endings, integration, spiritual growth
One (Ace) ā New beginnings. But only if action is taken.
Let this spread be your mirror. You're not crazy for being tired. You're not harsh for wanting more. The cards said what they said and you heard them.
Now what will you do with the truth? ššš„šš
š Color is everything in tarot. Itās not just design itās divine. When yellow starts screaming across the cards like this, the universe is not whispering, itās shouting.
Letās weave this colorology interpretation into your Tarot Taps so you can highlight the energetic theme and what all this yellow really means for your spirit and message.
šØāØ The Yellow Surge ~~~What It Means:
In tarot, yellow is the color of consciousness, clarity, vitality, and divine truth. Itās linked to the Solar Plexus Chakra, your center of personal power, self-worth, and decision-making.
Seeing yellow blazing across this spread especially in the Six of Cups, King of Wands, Four of Wands reversed, Nine of Pentacles, and King of Pentacles tells a vivid story:
š Yellow says: WAKE UP.
The truth is right in front of someone, but theyāre squinting through self-doubt or nostalgia. Yellow is the light of awareness, burning through illusion. It shows you what is, not what you wish it was.
š Itās also the color of joy but only when earned.
In this context, it feels more like potential joy, blocked by stagnancy, laziness, or fear. Itās not a happy yellow itās a frustrated one. Like a sun trapped behind closed curtains.
š Solar Plexus Chakra alert
This spread is screaming: āYou need to stand in your power, speak your truth, and choose YOU even if no one claps.ā Itās a call to stop shrinking and to burn away anything dimming your light.
š Yellow Highlights by Card:
Six of Cups: The yellow here wraps around childhood memory and emotional safety. It's the glow of innocence but also a warning about getting stuck in old patterns. Nostalgia isnāt truth, it's tinted memory.
King of Wands (Root): That golden background says, "You know what needs to be done." This is leadership energy glowing like a lionās mane but that crown means nothing if the Kingās not claiming it.
Four of Wands Reversed (Near Future): Normally a celebration, this yellow becomes artificial in reverse. Itās party lights with no music. A reminder that joy thatās faked is still a lie.
Nine of Pentacles (Hopes & Fears): Here, the yellow becomes divine self-worth. It says, "You were meant to shine." But in this position, that brilliance is feared. Someoneās afraid of becoming ātoo muchā but baby, too much is exactly what you were born to be. āØ
King of Pentacles (You/Me): A grounded golden glow this yellow is the slow burn of abundance. The wisdom of long-term success. The light you carry when you've earned it.
King of Cups (Past): Thereās a bit of golden light behind him, too. Itās soft, like the sun setting behind the sea echoing wisdom and emotional restraint. But that light is behind him now. Itās time for new light to rise.
š” Colorology Summary:
This spread is drenched in yellow because itās asking a big question:
š£ļø āAre you going to keep dimming yourself so other people feel comfortable? Or are you ready to step into the spotlight and finally own your truth?ā
Yellow is never quiet. Itās the drumbeat of confidence, the call of clarity, and the soulās reminder that you already have the light you just have to use it.
