So there was more to the question spread. I asked "why is my spiritual awakening happening now, and how to I embrace this new clarity moving forward?" 

This was intended to be a 4 card spread, with the following intention assigned to each card:

1. What was the catalyst for this awakening?

I pulled the 9 of Swords, which I interpreted as I was in a time of deep grief and depression, which caused me to open up to Spirit. 

2. Where am I at now?

I pulled the moon, which I interpreted as I am now doing the shadow work and sorting my understanding of the relationships between human, nature, and spirit. Maybe even that I am getting to know myself at a soul level.

3. What emotion do I need to embrace?

I pulled strength. I interpreted it as.... I need strength... emotional fortitude maybe? I know, lacking here 

4. What action do I need to take moving forward?

I pulled three of cups. I interpreted this as I need to find support in a close group of friends so that we may grow together.

Card 5 jumped out as I was finishing drawing the cards. I took at as a little tack on message. It is the knight of swords. I interpreted this as needing to charge forward and embrace opportunities as they arise, not letting logic completely dictate my decisions. 

Im fairly new to card reading. Am I taking these as too literal? Please let me know your interpretations or opinion of my own.
