In my previous post you can find all the details of the Planetary Spread and more information about the beautiful Rosetta Tarot.
Please note that for this sample reading I have used the astrological correspondences given in the companion book of this deck.
The cards drawn for this general reading are as follows:
1. Earth: Princess of Disks - Earth of Earth (together with the Ace of Disks ruler of Aries, Taurus, Gemini)
In the Self position, the Princess of Disks suggests a person, who is full of creative potential and keen to manifest possibilities into something tangible and fruitful.
Her creative energy is symbolised by her pregnancy and her crest of the Ram/Oxen head.
The Princess of Disks represents creative endeavours in their early stages, and she needs to demonstrate ambition (Aries), patience and perseverance (Taurus) and mental focus (Libra) to turn her ideas into reality.
Her personality is down-to-earth and realistic, sprinkled with a touch of hedonism (good food and drink) and indulgent sensuality.
The Princess of Disks has a strong affinity with nature and all things natural/organic/handmade.
The key message of this card is to focus on aspirations with patience and clarity in order to achieve goals and enduring productivity.
2. Sun: Two of Swords - Moon in Libra
Keyword: Peace
The current power source is that of calm, stillness and balance. A peaceful mind alleviates insecurities.
Taking time to relax and meditate is important right now to sustain well-being.
Creative projects need patience; nothing should be rushed. There is a sense of being at peace by avoiding confrontations or delay making some tough decisions.
The key message of this card is to practice emotional detachment in order to create inner balance to make the right decision and move forward.
3. Mars: Four of Disks - Sun in Capricorn
Keyword: Power
The Four of Disks in the Action position suggests being over-protective of security, possessions and what is known.
The need for control can be overpowering at times, stifling others and limiting own potential for expansion.
Letting go of power and control may seem risky, but it can have a liberating effect, whilst at the same time avoiding becoming reckless or irresponsible.
The key message of the Four of Disks is to loosen the grip on power and control by developing more trust in others and even the unknown.
4. Venus: Ace of Cups - Root of Water (together with the Princess of Cups ruler of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius)
The Ace of Cups in the love position suggests new emotional beginnings and being receptive to opportunities in love and deepening relationships.
Here we see a person, who is open-hearted, ready to give love and nurture others.
If this card comes up at a time of emotional upheaval, it can suggest positive developments, that not all is as bleak as it seems, and happy times will return.
Any relationship issues can be resolved by applying qualities of the three ruling zodiac signs: communicative (Libra), passionate (Scorpio) and generous (Sagittarius).
Aces symbolise potential, so the key message of the Ace of Cups is to start sowing the seeds of love in the present by joyfully giving and sharing without expecting anything in return.
In a relationship reading, the Mars and Venus position could indicate one person, who is ready to embark on a new relationship and willing to commit (Ace of Cups), whereas the other person is reluctant to do so, perhaps wanting to protect their feelings (Four of Disks).
5. Jupiter: Prince of Disks - Air of Earth - Aries/Taurus (ruler of 4 of Wands, 5 of Disks, 6 of Disks)
The Prince of Disks in the opportunities position suggests progress through discipline and tenacity.
In the image he is driving an ox-pulled chariot scattering dandelion flowers, which symbolise fruitfulness.
He is hard-working, patient and energetic. These qualities will be beneficial when pursuing goals at work or at home.
The three pip cards he is ruling indicate initial success (4 of Wands) and the need to manage money more efficiently (5 and 6 of Disks).
The key message of the Prince of Disks is that hard work and perseverance will pay off, but at the same time finances need to be managed carefully.
6. Mercury: Five of Wands - Saturn in Leo
Keyword: Strife
The Five of Wands in the communications position suggests misunderstandings, arguments and power struggles.
The Saturn in Leo constellation linked to this card indicates the need to tame the ego and focus more on collaboration rather than competition.
Before getting drawn into an argument, it's worth remembering that clear, simple and calm discussions will be more effective to encourage co-operation.
Whether it is relevant to you in relationships, at work or in family situations, the key message of the Five of Wands is to avoid fighting for power or position to get results.
Instead, focus on your goal and what you want to achieve by promoting a more constructive team effort.
7. Saturn: The Hierophant - Taurus
The Hierophant in the opposition/teacher position suggests that conventional structures and an organised hierarchy are beneficial to personal and professional development, even though they can sometimes limit creativity.
This is supported by the other Disks cards in this spread. Set tasks, routines, daily schedules and to-do lists are proven tools of productivity, which can at times stifle flexibility and spontaneity.
The key message of the Hierophant is to embrace all the advantages of order, discipline and traditional values, but also be more aware of their limitations.
Learning new skills, meet new people or try something different will be invigorating and broaden the horizon.
8. Moon: Queen of Swords - Water of Air - Libra
The Queen of Swords in the feeling position suggests the need to be emotionally strong and resilient.
Perhaps feelings are being controlled rather than light-heartedly displayed. Nothing wrong with that, especially when feelings are negative and could easily be expressed with cutting, spiteful remarks.
Some issues still need to be resolved, and this Queen may either keep a stiff upper lip or voice her emotions in a matter-of-fact, clear and honest way.
The key message of the Queen of Swords is not to keep emotions suppressed. Whatever needs to be resolved, do it with diplomacy, wit, fairness and understanding.
The Queen of Swords in the Moon position complements the Two of Swords in its opposing Sun position.
Here, the message of keeping a cool head and practising emotional detachment (without being cold-hearted) is emphasised to create and maintain harmony.
