Traveling is a Topic I love to read about at the moment. People usually ask questions about relationships, work, moving house, money of course … And I’ll post comments and case analysis on these topics as well.
But as I love to travel, I’ll start with cards that shows the possibilities for travelling.
Cards and Travel
In the major trumps :the chariot, the fool, the temperance, judgment, sometimes the wheel of fortune and the world
In the minor cards : 8 of wands, the 6 of swords, 8 of cups,
In the court cards : Knight of wands, Page of swords
Delays in travelling : the chariot reversed, ace of wands reversed, the hermit
Standing still : the hanged man, the 4 of swords, the knight of pentacles reversed, the 8 fof wands reversed

Travelling by road : the chariot associated with the 8 or the 3 of wands.The car is sometimes seen in a layout through the combination Chariot + Wheel of fortune; a motocycle is the Wheel of fortune + Judgment.
Judgment means fast, thus wheel + judgment = a fast wheel ; the chariot associated with the judgment would be a fast (sport) car; chariot + Wheel + judgment as well.
Travelling by air : the page of swords, the eight of wands, ( I see the world and the fool as meaning “far away”).
Temperance is the holiday card, associated with the sun : well, summer holiday of course
The 6 of swords is tricky and should be analysed with the cards around : it’s not exactly a card that means travel but more a travel away from difficulty, gradual change, a movement. Long journeys and passage from pain are also shown here.An initiatic quest maybe ?
Whenever I see the 4 of swords, I see a period of rest and restauration of energies.
The knight of pentacles reversed means stagnation.
Standing still may also be represented by the 6 of swords reversed : things may remain as they are
The ace of wands reversed means a false start, no the travel may be postponed; the world reversed also means a desire that will be delayed.
On a side note, the 8 of swords might also mean being paralysed and not being able to move away at the present time. The 8 of wands upright is the “all system go” card, I translate it as “stop” whenever it is reversed.
I guess posting some case analysis here around the topic might be the one thing to do. Cheers !
I’ll upload the pictures later on, I don’t know why but every time I go in the “add media” little dialog box, it adds the pictures in the media gallery but not on the page … and it take quite some time to copy/paste the permalink every time !
