My interpretation:

I really believe that The Emperor in this case represents my husband. Just a feeling. He’s an Aries, and fits the Aries description to a T. I think in the past it’s been hard to balance my relationship with him and my need to write, he’d often come in an interrupt but we came to an understanding that when I’m writing I need to be alone with my thoughts uninterrupted. I wonder if anyone else would have another interpretation.

The reversed Page, to me, represents that I’m currently blocked. I definitely don’t write enough anymore to be a potential author. I’m getting stuck in a need for perfection instead of action and implementation. I’m reading a lot, looking for inspiration but doing nothing with it.

And for the Three of Pentacles I think it’s telling me to get off my ass and actually put in the work. I noticed how most resources online say this represents teamwork, but the art in my deck shows only one guy hard at work. I compared this card with the Eight of Pentacles in my deck and for me the difference is this, at least visually: in the Three of Pentacles, the guy looks hard at work. He’s not necessarily refining anything or perfecting it, just putting in the work. In the Eight of Pentacles art, the man is smiling down and shining the pentacle, this to me represents refinement and master craftsmanship. I think the cards are telling me I just need to start putting in the real hard work.

Curious on anyone’s thoughts!
