Page of Wands/The Fool
reversed. The
Page of Wands (Cancer, “I
feel,” sensitive, tenacious, nurturing, moody; Leo, “I am,” passionate,
dramatic noble egotistical; and Virgo, “I serve,” practical, analytical, work
and service oriented) in an upright position is fun to
be around, unless you have a migraine. The
Llewellyn Welsh Page of Wands brings an important message: a positive phase has
arrived. The potential presented
by this Page is filled with flexibility and excitement, and it presents lots of
time for play and socialization. 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. My Fool is reversed; if it was upright
I would see it as validating the message of the Page of Wands, however, my
reversed Fool is letting me know that the effects of my Page might be
short-lived. I need to take
advantage today. Not tomorrow.
My Thoth card is The Moon
reversed/Knight of Disks. The
Moon of the Tarot Major Arcana corresponds with Water (cold/binds and
wet/adapts, emotional and sensitive energy that strives to stay the same),
Pisces (“I believe,” feeling, suffering, soul growth, duality), Qof (the back
of the head), and the Path between Malkuth (the physical world of action and
physical, outer reality) and Netzach (the stimulating factors of emotion and
inspiration), is about feelings and emotions and instincts and the
subconscious. The Thoth Moon card
also reminds us that the darkest hour is usually just before dawn. This card is warning me that I should
not get caught up with how things appear, because I’m not going to be too good
with differentiating between reality and illusion. In the Thoth Tarot, the rank of Knight equals the rank of
King in other decks. 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 good at managing physical world resources, but he focuses a lot on
the business end of things. Today,
however, his focus could be dangerous if he decides to focus on illusion rather
than reality. Yes, focus is a good
thing, but only if we are focusing on what we need.
My Legacy card is Faith/The
Hierophant reversed, flavored by The Magician reversed. Interestingly enough, on November 8 I
had both of these cards upright. The Hierophant corresponds with Earth (cold/binds and
dry/shapes), Taurus (“I have,” sensual, cautious, stubborn), Vau (the nail
which holds tradition in place), and the Path between Chesed (the place where
forms and structures are stabilized and nurtured), and Chokmah (dynamic male
energy, the origin of vital force and polarity). This card is an archetype of Spirit (with The Emperor as
archetype of the Sacred Masculine, The Empress as archetype of the Sacred
Feminine, and all three representing the supernal triad) that reminds us of the
value of tradition, ritual and ceremony.
Marchetti renamed this card “Faith” so that it would expand beyond its
traditional meanings (in some decks, this card is called “Pope”). Today, tradition, ritual and ceremony
will hold me back rather than inspire me. 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 works hard to perfect his
abilities, to make use of those abilities in unexpected ways, and to focus and
carry through to the end of a task (which is pretty important to him). This card is personally significant to
me, and since he represents the manifestation of tangible knowledge, he makes a
significant partner to the reversed Faith card. He is reminding me that I can’t lose sight of the fact that
everything I’ve accomplished has happened because of Those who are supporting
me. I may be the conduit, but I’m
not the Source. Also, these are
two of the three cards representing the Sacred Masculine. The only one left is The Emperor, the
part of the God that makes certain the trains run on time. Okay, got it.
My 6-digit date number is 9,
the completeness of manifestation or effect.
My horoscopes: “Money matters continue to
go well, though you don't feel as secure about them as you should. A previously
unsung talent, perhaps for the arts, healing, working with technology, or all
three could come to light. You could look into ways to train it. You might want
to explore different options. Your decision might surprise you.”
And: “If you have been thinking
about making a major change in your life, all signs
indicate that this is the time to take the plunge! Radical change is scary, to
be sure, but you are ready for the challenge. In truth, whether you realize it
or not you have been preparing for this moment for a long time now. Trust us,
you are ready. The time is ripe to begin.”
I taught my first official
Chair Yoga Class today; four people attended, and I hope they all come back
because they were great. They want
a class once a week; excellent!
Tomorrow night I teach my first official Gentle and Restorative Yoga
Class. Woohoo!!
I also had a former belly dance
student return. How great it was
to dance with Danielle once again.
Only Danielle, Pat and I in the class, but we are three like-minded
women. Powerful stuff.
