Ciro's Weekly Reading for 04/01/2026

Ciro’s Messages Weekly Reading This week marks the final reading under the name Ciro’s Messages, as I transition to Ciro DeLucia. This change reflects my personal evolution on this journey. In honor of this transition, I’ve decided to offer a bit of a tarot lesson. I’ve pulled cards from both my Egyptian decks and the Rider-Waite deck, and interestingly, both decks revealed the same cards. Here’s a look at the translations of these cards from the two different decks. Page of Pentacles In the Rider-Waite deck, the Page of Pentacles represents someone in their mid-20s who is focused on growing their finances. This individual knows how to handle money and appreciates the finer things in life. Are you in a phase where you’re trying to make your money work for a purpose you’ve created? In the Egyptian deck, this card is represented as the Slave of Pentacles. Here, the figure is depicted as a ball, reaching out for money, embodying a mindset of scarcity—constantly trying to grab more but feeling like it’s just out of reach. Is money slipping through your fingers? Two of Swords In the traditional Rider-Waite deck, the Two of Swords features a blindfolded woman sitting stiffly, holding two crossed swords in a V shape. With water behind her and a crescent moon in the sky, this card suggests she is unwilling to see any other perspective. She seems content with her emotional struggles, refusing to acknowledge anything else. This interpretation highlights a mental conflict where one is blocked from seeing the truth or making a necessary choice. In the Egyptian deck, the Two of Swords shows two swords crossing in an X shape. This imagery suggests a different message: “Who is stopping me from moving forward?” This interpretation is more about external obstacles rather than internal conflict. Four of Swords The Four of Swords in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck symbolizes a necessary period of rest and rejuvenation after a time of conflict or stress. Often depicted as a knight resting on a tomb, it represents meditating on past challenges to find peace rather than continuing to battle. To me, this card suggests a person who is quite comfortable with their problems, even displaying them prominently as if to say, “Look at me.” In the Egyptian deck, the Four of Swords features four swords pointing inward, forming a circle with their pointed ends in the center. This imagery conveys a sense of feeling trapped or stuck from all sides. ### Conclusion Can you see how the same card can be interpreted differently, even though they represent the same concept? The artistry and thought behind each card can lead to varied meanings. I hope this lesson has provided you with insight into the nuances of tarot interpretation. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to connecting with you next time!
