Suits of Tarot - Cups
When a Cups card shows up, your heart's doing the talking. These cards are all about the emotions - your spontaneous reactions, your crazy daydreams, your artistic impulses, and yes, even that slightly dramatic "should I quit my job and move to Bali?" fantasy.
Cups are the go-to suit for all things creativity, feelings, fantasy, and intuition. Think of it as your internal group chat of emotional hot takes and inspired ideas - sometimes messy, always honest.
Cups aren’t all poetry and Pinterest boards. On a rough day, this suit brings the melodrama. We’re talking emotional overload, ghosting your goals, or crying into your oat latte over what could have been. It’s the realm of rose-colored glasses, unspoken feelings, and “why am I not more inspired right now?” spiral sessions.
So next time Cups come calling in your Tarot read, ask yourself:
Are you dreaming or avoiding?
Creating or escaping?
Feeling or feeling too much?
Because this suit isn’t just asking how you feel, it’s daring you to actually feel it.

Suits of Tarot - Laptops
The Laptops are all about the material world - your career, your cash flow, your side hustle, your assets, your LinkedIn profile, and yes... that secret Pinterest board titled "Lottery Winnings Plans”.
When the vibe is good, Laptops are pure gold. We're talking: Promotion, Profits, Progress, and that sweet spot where purpose meets paycheck. This suit says: "Show me the receipts." It’s about taking a dream, putting it in a spreadsheet, and actually hitting the target. It’s proof, not potential. Realization, not just reflection.
But what about when Laptops go off the rails? You can get greed disguised as "goal setting", obsession with status over soul, major burnout, and emotional bankruptcy, even when the bank account is stacked. It's that workaholic spiral where you're so deep in the grind, you forget why you even started. Suddenly you’re eating lunch at your desk (again), treating nature like a myth, and wondering why your plants are dying and your joy is gone.
So, what does it mean when a Tarot reading is stacked with Laptops? It means the questions on your mind are materially motivated: career crossroads, financial feels, work-life imbalance, or trying to figure out if your next move is smart and satisfying. You want:
Tangible progress
Clear outcomes
Security with a sprinkle of luxury
And Laptops are here to say: “Cool, now let’s get your life in formation.”

Suits of Tarot - Highlighters
Highlighters are your inner fire emoji come to life. These cards tap into your motivations, the core of what drives you, and the why behind everything you chase (from job titles to passion projects to that random salsa class you suddenly had to take).
This is where your enthusiasm, energy, ego, and ambition live, the loud parts of your personality you usually try to "dial down" in meetings. Highlighters don’t do dialed down, they light things up. They’re about passion with a purpose, energy in motion, and that moment when your gut screams "YES!" before your brain even catches up.
What happens when Highlighters go off-script? Let’s just say... fire without direction is just a burnout waiting to happen. Think grand plans with zero follow-through, ego taking the wheel (and driving straight into a drama storm) or a midweek identity crisis where everything suddenly feels meaningless. We’ve all been there. The fire flickers, the motivation ghosts you, and suddenly Netflix feels more “aligned” than your entire five-year plan.
So next time Highlight light up your Tarot read, ask yourself:
What am I really passionate about?
Where’s the purpose in this pursuit?
Is this momentum... or am I just running in circles with good branding?
Whatever the question, Wands bring the call-to-action. Not the whispery “just trust” kind. No. The kick-the-door-down, “Let’s GO” kind.

Suits of Tarot - Pens
Pens are where thoughts slice, decisions land hard, and truth doesn’t come in soft tones - they comes in headlines. This is the suit of action, ambition, power, and conflict, where courage isn’t just admired, it’s required.
The Pens’ energy are fierce. It’s where logic leads, clarity cuts, and transformation often begins with a hard conversation (or ten). This is the realm of rapid decisions, constructive conflict (or delicious drama), mental stamina, and words with weight. Pens say, "Feelings are fine, but what are the facts?" They push you to think fast, speak smart, and act with intention. Every card in this suit is a wake-up call or a warning.
But when that mental edge gets too sharp, you might find yourself in trouble. When Pens get out of hand they can result in harsh judgment (of others and yourself), cold logic with zero compassion, verbal power plays, and emotional avoidance dressed up as "rationality" Left unchecked, this energy can turn into pure mental warfare: conflict, over-analysis, even verbal or emotional sabotage. That inner monologue? It can cut deep.
And if your Tarot spread is heavy on Pens? Buckle up, you’re dealing with:
High-stakes decisions
Mental pressure
Conflict (external or internal)
A need to speak up, stand up, or let something go
Pens bring the message: “It’s time to think critically and act with courage.” Even if it stings. Because clarity is freedom and this suit never backs down from the truth.
