I won't say whut questions I put for each reading here..
Little personal.
Even if the readings were good.
First reading:
The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross. This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life. Ten of Cups (Success): Successful development, with some effort required.
The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air. It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason. Six of Swords (Science), when reversed: Idealism used for selfish ends.
The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire. It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion. The Devil: Something exciting, possibly dangerous or forbidden. Temptation. Physical gratification. Exploring darker feelings. Wild action opens up new areas in life.
The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water. It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love. The Hanged Man, when reversed: Being overly influenced by outside ideas. Pressure to conform. Demands. Sacrificing something to get passed hang-ups. Lack of purpose.
The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth. It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world. Daughter of Wands (Radha): Abundance. Joy. Good sense. Culture.
At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed. The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces. Son of Stones (Chief Seattle): Taking action to make positive change - with the benefit of the next seven generations in mind.
The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card. These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict. The Lovers, when reversed: A relationship ending. Trouble in a relationship. Lack of love. Insecurity, loneliness. Loss of balance.
The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle. This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur. Eight of Wands (Swiftness): Definite movement. Progress. A worthy goal. Finding a direction in life. Development of a new love affair.
The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course. Justice: Examine your life, weigh things in the balance. A relationship is going badly. Analysis. Take a balanced view.
Second one:
Different question.
No saying what it is either.
I made sense of each too..
They're not bad, but I wanna keep it to myself
he card at the lower left, represents the first decision along your path. The High Priestess, when reversed: Being confused and led astray from the true path. Spiritual deception. Overzealous and shallow-minded pursuit of the esoteric. Insecurity, conceit and self-destructiveness. The forces of nature unleashed.
The card to the far left represents the first false path that may lead you astray. Temperance, when reversed: Lack of restraint and self-control. Losing one's cool. Energies dispersed through conflicts in personal, business, and spiritual matters.
The card in the middle represents the second decision along your path. Two of Pentacles (Change): Balance and harmony achieved in a time of upheaval and transformation. Taking two steps forward for every one step back. Shifting the importance of projects and priorities to keep everything on track. A change in occupation or location.
The card at the lower right represents the second false path that may lead you astray. Wheel of Fortune: The path of destiny. Karma on a grand scale. An unexpected turn of good fortune. A link in the chain of events. Success, luck, and happiness.
The card at the top represents one possible mask of your true destination. Ten of Wands (Oppression), when reversed: Refusing to take on burdens greater than you can carry. Noble leadership restrained from transforming into tyranny. Bearing the weight of ultimate responsibility without being crushed. Through careful conservation of their fuel, the engines of creation continue onward.

Card study:
The Queen of Swords
Here we see the Queen of perception and insight. It's a hard thing to pull the wool over the eyes of somebody like this - they will look beyond the face we present and see to the very core of the being. That's one reason why this Queen often represents a woman who stirs deep and complex reactions in the people who come into contact with her. They can feel uneasy, discomforted and awkward when being observed by her. But they may also feel open, relieved and glad to have found somebody with such long sight.
On a day ruled by her, we need to practise our own powers of perception. Rather than dealing with the imaginal psychic quality which is rightly the realm of the Queen of Cups, we must now turn our attention to the everyday world. For, though the Queen of Swords is often highly spiritually developed, she is also absorbed by the intricacies of the process of life. Therefore she looks closely at what happens in life around her.
On this day, try to remind yourself to study the interactions you have with others. Don't just deal with the face value. Struggle to seek behind that mask for the whole being beyond.
Everybody takes up roles, plays out games, displays masks. We have 'professional' faces, which fit each of our roles. And we can become forgetful of the fact that every person we meet does the same thing. Only when we come to know a person well do we recognise the complexity that lies behind the mask.
Recognise yourself when you take up a mask. Know that at this moment you are acting like (for instance) a working person doing their job, or a family member loving the family, or a person alone and taking a bath. Look hard at yourself. You take up roles. Use this day to begin to identify them clearly. Examine the way that you feel differently in each situation. And recognise that though each of those roles is an expression of you, not one single one of them IS you.
Then take that realisation beyond you into the world.......
Affirmation: My life is a constant and glorious exploration.
The Prince of Swords
One of the most common interpretation of this card is that it represents a dangerous or treacherous man - which, IMHO, is a very superficial way of looking at a Court card.
Certainly this Prince can be sly, dishonest and untrustworthy - but only when badly dignified by the cards around him. The card can also sometimes come up to mark a person who is angry, or vengeful.
But the pure Prince of Swords type is a highly intellectual and usually well-educated person, with a rapid fire mind and a great capacity for abstract thinking. He produces ideas with astonishing speed, but often moves on too quickly to follow through or elaborate on them. He can be challenging, entertaining, stimulating - and completely exhausting!
The card represents a private person, who defends his inner space quite determinedly. This is some-one who is hard to get to know - in fact, you'll probably not succeed entirely no matter how long you know him. He is a thinker, and chooses those he shares his thoughts with carefully. He's usually also very independent, and often appears unemotional and cold.
Sometimes the Prince of Swords will come up to represent somebody who is embarking on a serious course of occult study - with the Knight indicating the dedicated initiate.
The bad reputation comes from one peculiarity of this card and the Knight of Swords, I think. They both tend to appear when a man is angry, violent or vicious. However this is a function of the Suit - Swords deal with conflict and pain quite extensively. So don't imagine that every Prince of Swords you see is bad - most of them aren't.
Affirmation: I look within, and grow to understand myself.
