Ace of
Swords reversed/Justice reversed.
Hmmm . . . two cards with Swords on them, and both Swords are
point-down. The Ace of
Swords (Capricorn, “I build,” ambition, caution authority, cunning, Aquarius
and Pisces, “I believe,” feeling, duality, soul growth, artistic) in an upright
position tells of the birth of ideas and concepts. This card tells me that I am ready to make use of logic and
analysis in order to assert my Will.
Clarity is not necessarily mine today, and I need to guard against
misinterpreting the events around me! Justice
is a card of adjustment, and it corresponds with the element of Air
(hot/separates and wet/adapts, and quick, animated energy that usually brings
problems or challenges that bring growth), Libra (“we are,” partnerships,
balance, cooperation), Lamed (ox goad; training or teaching), and the Path
between Tiphareth (the hub of the creation process where energies harmonize and
focus to illuminate and clarify) and Geburah (the place where forms and
structures are challenged or affirmed).
Upright, it tells of balance and harmony, and reversed, it can tell of
bigotry or misinterpretation. I am
sensing a pattern here.
My
Thoth card is the Five of Swords.
Oy. “Defeat” is the keyword
for this one. The Five of Swords (Venus, beauty, allure, relationships, pleasure,
in Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, cause-oriented, the group, aloof) shows
what happens when we insist that our way is right, or when we impose our needs
or wants onto a situation. Insisting
on everyone playing by my rules will not end well today. Yes, my thoughts and beliefs are valid,
but so are the thoughts and beliefs of others. I will blind myself to learning opportunities if I insist on
jamming that round peg into a square hole.
My
Legacy card is the Five of Cups reversed, flavored by The Magician reversed. The Five of Cups (Mars, action,
aggression, drive, in Scorpio, “I desire,” intense, controlling, mysterious,
obsessive) in an upright position tells of an emotional setback or
disappointment, or perhaps the belief that a wrong choice has been made. The good thing is that my card is
reversed, so any emotional setbacks will not be debilitating, but I should have
a care that I don’t just bail on the whole situation. My reversed Five of Cups is being flavored by the reversed
Magician. The Magician
corresponds with Air (hot/separates and wet/adapts, and quick and animated
energy which usually presents problems or challenges), Mercury (reason,
intelligence, orderliness, communication), Beth (house; builder) and the Path
between Binah (female, receptive energy and the origin of form and structure)
and Kether (the source, limitless possibility). The Magician is a
personally significant card to me.
The reversed Magician seems to be validating the negative aspects of the
reversed Five of Cups. I might
have trouble completing tasks today; distraction anyone?
My
6-digit date number is 9, the number of completeness of manifestation or
effect.
My
horoscopes: “Your mastery of your mind and ability to stay disciplined
about your goals is impressive, Sagittarius. Others recognize and appreciate
your efforts much more than usual. You may be called upon to assist in some
other project or someone else's emotional drama because you have the stability
required to remedy the situation. Don't downplay your talent in this area.”
And: “Feel
free to be outlandish and bizarre today. Let loose from reality and enjoy a
much freer headspace. Rent a couple movies, or better yet, make your own. Buy a
new outfit for your wardrobe and give your imagination a touching up by
breaking out the finger paints and decorating your bathroom walls. Let your
free-spirited nature come out and play. Share your greatest fantasies with
others and let your daydreams dictate your actions of the day.”
My Shadowscapes
Insight is regarding The Hermit.
Well this would be a natural tendency for me today, given my other
cards. Climbing up a difficult
cliff in order to sit alone, above the noise of the city below, is sometimes
the best way to gain clarity. The
Hermit is telling me that this kind of solitude might be beneficial for me
today.
I am in
the midst of family vacation, with lots of sunny days and cool, clear
nights. Awesome times!
