Knight
of Pentacles/Queen of Cups reversed. The
Knight of Pentacles (cusp of Leo, “I am,” passionate, dramatic, egotistical,
and Virgo, “I serve,” practical, analytical, work and service oriented) tells
of persistence to the point of being stubborn, and caution to the point of
being boring. He is not good at dealing with emotions, and indeed prefers more
predictable focuses. The Queen of Cups (cusp of
Gemini, “I think,” curious, sociable, dual, and Cancer, “I feel,” sensitive,
tenacious, nurturing, moody) represents the energies of Water and The High
Priestess manifested into the Minor Arcana, and if this card were upright, it
might balance out that Earthy Knight. Perhaps I am being warned that emotions
and feelings need to be applied as well as predictability and perseverance. Okay!
My
Thoth card is the Knight of Disks.
Actually, the rank of Knight in the Thoth Tarot is King. The Knight/King of Disks (cusp of Aries,
“I want,” action oriented, assertive, competitive, and Taurus, “I have,”
sensual, stubborn, cautious, physically oriented) is the expert on physical
world manifestation of all kinds.
He is responsible and reliable and calm, no matter what he faces. He is good at managing physical world
resources, and he shares what he has.
Being business-minded is good, but too much ambition can be a heavy
distraction.
My
Legacy card is The Fool reversed, flavored by the Knight of Wands. Another Knight! The Fool corresponds with Air
(hot/separates and wet/adapts, and challenges that tend to require the use of the intellect to solve), Uranus
(technology, science, radical change), Aleph (the head, youthful learning) and
the Path between Chokmah (male in the electric sense, dynamic energy and the
origin of vital force and polarity) and Kether (the source; limitless
possibility). The Fool is the
spark that begins the idea, and the neutral powers of creativity. He is reversed, however, and he could
be telling me to hold back a bit, and maybe plan a little. Not so the Knight of Wands, which is
flavoring my reversed Fool! The Knight of Wands
(cusp of Scorpio, “I desire,” intense, controlling, deep, obsessive, and
Sagittarius, “I seek,” philosophic, fun-loving, blundering) usually represents
a person of passion, courage, enthusiasm and boundless energy; most definitely
not background-type efforts. The Knight of
Wands is a warrior who is confident enough and passionate enough to jump into
the fray and protect what he thinks is important. Perhaps he is reminding my Fool to think before acting, and
to make certain any cause chosen is worthy. Good advice, that!
My 6-digit
date number is 5, the number that tells of motion which dispels stagnation.
My
horoscopes: “You have the tendency to plan everything, Sagittarius. You need to
feel in charge of things. Today you should try to listen to others around you.
Let yourself go for a while, even though you aren't used to it. Furthermore,
you need to develop your personality. You can do this by opening up to others.”
And,
the second horoscope was not up.
Mercury Retro strikes again!
My
Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the Two of Pentacles. This is a lovely card of dynamic
balance as it is manifested in the physical world. And the image on this card shows literal balance, on one
foot, up high, with Fae helping the juggling process (and we all know how good
that is!). It can be done, eh?
I
received word today that I’ve passed the next to the last Lesson of Third
Degree, and I may move on to the last Lesson, which focuses on the Alchemic
Great Work. I’ve done that
before! This Lesson is going to be
fun!
Another
Wild Unknown Tarot Card. The Ace
of Wands. The image on this one is
great, a Wand surrounded by emanating orange lines. Exactly what happens when we experience inspiration! The idea is thrust outward with a bang,
and illuminated clearly with bright light. What happens next is up to us, but this card makes me very
aware of the power of potential!
