Knight
of Wands reversed/Six of Cups. 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. Often, this Knight is shown riding a
proudly prancing horse, and this motion filled with confidence is a good
indication of the energy of the card.
My Llewellyn Welsh Knight in an upright position is seen as a clever and
unpredictable person with a good sense of humor and a knack for seeing
opportunities others have missed.
Because my Knight is reversed, ideas that are a part of this day might
end up deflating like a balloon with a hole in it. And that is the best case scenario, because tempers might
flare as well. The Six of Cups (Sun,
the inner core of a person or situation in Scorpio, “I desire,” intense,
compulsive, deep, obsessive) is a card of innocence, emotional balance and
harmony, of simple joy that begets even more simple joy by infecting all that
is around us at this moment. This
card is about friendship and play, teamwork, and drawing strength from shared
experiences. While ideas may not
work today, I certainly should be able to draw strength from those around me.
My
Thoth cards are the Prince of Wands (Bookends!!) and the Six of Disks (“Success”). Uncle Al considered this card as
representing him, and he had a lot to say about it. The Thoth Prince of Wands is intense; his sense of humor is
intense, his courage is intense and his endurance is intense. He is romantic to the point of nausea
and is real good at engineering stunts and then laughing, even if he is the one
who ends up looking foolish. He
sounds like a fun guy, unless you have a migrane! The Six of Disks (Moon,
feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination, in Taurus, “I have,” Sensual,
cautious, stubborn) brings an awareness of resources to the situation, both
those that I have and those that I don’t have, in both the upright and reversed
position. This card shows us what happens when we don’t let the apparent
failure of the Five of Disks hold us back. Crowley sees the Six of Disks as a
card of balance, and while that balance is fertile, it is also temporary. The Thoth Six of Disks offers a brief
reward for our efforts, and a glimpse of a possible end result that will bring
success.
My
Legacy card is the Three of Cups reversed, flavored by The Emperor. The Three of Cups (Mercury, reason, intelligence,
orderliness, communication, in Cancer, “I feel,” sensitive, tenacious,
nurturing, moody) is about connections, emotional abundance, and about
blessings. This card in an upright
position shows what could be born from the potential to experience potent
emotions and feelings of the Ace, and the caring, attraction and chemistry of
the Two; however today it is reversed.
While I do understand that no one is really ever alone, emotionally this
might be a day of solitude for me. My reversed
Three of Cups is being flavored by The Emperor, and yes, he tends to be a
solitary ruler. The Emperor corresponds with Fire
(hot/separates and dry/shapes, and spontaneous, impulsive, energetic change),
Aries (“I want,” action oriented, assertive, competitive) and the Hebrew letter
Heh (window, illumination), represents confidence, authority, and the archetype
of the Father. The Emperor
instills balance, form and structure onto the fertility and creations of The
Empress, an important task. The
Emperor says that the best way to make the day have a happy ending is to follow
the rules, get things done on time, and encourage others to do the same, and he
does his best to guide and protect others so they may do so. Looks like I will do well no matter
where I choose to focus today, but my work may be lonely. Effective but lonely.
Myre about my
Bookends card, the Knight of Wands.
Some see the Knights as representing the element of Fire and some the
element of Air, depending on the deck.
The suit of Wands corresponds with the element of Fire, so we have
either Fire of Fire or Air of Fire; in either event, this is not a slow and
steady card. This Knight just
loves adventure; he is impulsive and dramatic, and just loves to come to the
rescue when someone is in trouble.
He can also be quite romantic and charming, and not in a quiet way. The Knight of Wands represents the
coming and going of energy, and this means he is associated with inspiration,
travel, sports, ideas and brainstorming, theatrical events, high energy situations
and idealistic causes. He wants
action and movement, and while this can sometimes be quite effective, it also
makes for a volatile, unpredictable and self-centered personality.
My 6-digit date number is 11
(Archangel Uriel), which reduces further to 2, the number of balance, polarity,
and the energy of “distance between.”
My horoscopes: “Under today's harmonious Moon-Venus mash-up, you
can smooth the feathers ruffled by Mercury retrograde. Forget about the trouble
and strife. By simply bringing a little more compassion into your conversation,
you can get people to overlook their differences and drop their petty
complaints. Make a point to listen, though. You don't have to agree with the
other person's perspective--just don't invalidate it. Once you understand where
everyone's coming from, you'll get your chance to clear the air.”
And: “Don't
criticize the situation until you have come up with a better solution. Be
creative in your approach. Realize that much can be accomplished if you
approach the situation with confidence. Being pessimistic about all the
problems will not help with finding the solution. Let your mind relax. Your
intuition will guide you. Feel free to speak out with confidence and strength.
Perhaps the most fanciful-sounding answers will prove to be the most ingenious
solutions.”
