The
Hanging Man reversed/Page of Cups. The
Hanging Man corresponds with Water
(cold/binds and wet/adapts, and emotional, sensitive and imaginative energy that tends to move deep, and attempts
to take the same path as in the past), Neptune (inspiration, spirituality,
magick, enchantment, dreams, altered states), and the Hebrew letter Mem (water,
stability and balance, the reflective quality of thought), and upright it presents
the kind of balance that comes to us through surrender, and through
deliberately attempting to see things in a different way. Because my Hanging Man is reversed,
surrendering to the events around me won’t necessarily bring a happy ending to
the day, even if I try to see things in a new way. Today I might be better served by taking charge, at least a
little bit. This Page of Cups corresponds to Libra (“we
are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation), Scorpio (“I desire,” intensity
compulsion, mystery) and Sagittarius (“I seek,” philosophic, adventurous,
blundering) and it is a card of soft and tender energies and of getting
fulfillment through connections to others, and through innocent and simple
joys. If I decide that I will get
good experiences from even a mundane task, then I will flavor that task with
happiness.
My
Thoth cards are the Prince of Cups reversed and the Ten of Pentacles
(“Wealth”). The Prince/Knight
of Cups (cusp of Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, the group, cause-oriented,
and Pisces, “I believe,” feelings, duality, suffering, soul growth) is about
feeling things strongly and without restraint or grounding. Upright, this Prince appears calm to
others, but inwardly he feels things strongly. He is reversed, however, so perhaps my feeling will be on my
sleeve today, for all to view. The Ten of Pentacles (Mercury, reason, intelligence,
education, communication, in Virgo, “I serve,” practical, analytical, work and
service oriented) represents physical world wealth and bounty, and the attempt
to maintain the status quo. Yes,
this might make me feel happy, however that Prince in a reversed position could
mean that I lose sight of the fact that all that bounty needs attention. The best thing I could do with this
wealth is to create something new from it, keeping in mind that my visions of
the future should be innocent and simple, and should involve connections to
others.
My
Legacy card is the Two of Wands, flavored by Justice reversed. The Two of Wands (Mars, action, spontaneity, aggression, drive,
in Aries, “I want,” action oriented, pioneering, assertive, enthusiastic) tells
of power, influence and authority, and the implementation of the Will. Perhaps
the Two of Wands is reminding me that if I believe in my own self, others will
believe in me, too, and the decisions I make will manifest in a good way. My Two of Wands is being flavored by
the reversed Justice card. Hmmm .
. . 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, this card presents two
important concepts: balance and truth, and it tells us that the purpose of the
law is to implement and manifest these two concepts. My Justice card is reversed, and flavoring my upright Two of
Wands. Looks like there is a
danger of acting today without keeping consequences in mind. This seems to be the theme of all my
cards today; careful!
My
6-digit date number is 6, the number of vertical and horizontal balance.
My
horoscopes: “You are an excellent friend, and you take pride in helping
the people around you. Have you ever thought about getting involved in a
humanitarian cause or giving a few hours of your time every week to your local
community? Today, Sagittarius, these kinds of ideas could become a real part of
your life. It's time to use all of your great ideas to help others.”
And: “A
trip to the library could be on your agenda for today, as you may need to track
down some intellectual, spiritual, or practical information required for a task
or project you're working on. You may find yourself spending more time there
than you'd originally planned, as you might discover new facts or ideas that
open up fascinating new trains of thought. If your time is limited, make sure
you keep track of the hour! If not, have fun!”
Today
is my last full day in Paradise; tomorrow I fly home. This really has been a good vacation!
