I am a newbie at tarot and I did this past, present and future reading today.
Overall I think it's a rather positive reading but I am struggling with interpreting it, mainly the queen of swords. (I am feeling a little scatter brained today though, so probably not the best time to do a reading!!).
Here is how I interpret it:
The queen of swords in the past represents a decision that was made about something that affects the present. It wasn't an impulsive decision. It was well thought through with the information I had at the time.
The IX of pentacles in the present represents contentment with how things are right now. But also longing for something more/different.
The king of pentacles in the future represents an achievement of some sort. Whether to do with wealth or material things. The king also represents someone in my life helping me achieve that goal.
