Page of Wands/Three of Swords reversed. 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) is the spark that might end up creating a conflagration.  This Page is eager to take in power, and to use his skills and abilities.  Is he up to the task?  If enthusiasm is the indicator, the answer is yes! The Three of Swords (Saturn, discipline, responsibility, limitations and resistance, in Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation) in an upright position usually indicates the possibility that logic, rationalizing and the intellect could end up causing harm if they are not used with balance and compassion.  My Three of Swords is reversed, so I just might be able to short circuit any “poor me” thoughts before they take control, and thus I should be able to visualize good stuff.

My Thoth card is The Empress reversed.  Season’s change The Empress (which corresponds with Earth (cold/binds and dry/shapes, and stable, material, practical energies that are slow to change), Venus (beauty, allure, pleasure, relationships), the Hebrew letter Daleth (door or womb) and the Path between Binah (female receptive energy and the origin of form and structure) and Chokmah on the Tree of Life (dynamic male energy and the origin of vital force and polarity)) is one half of the Major Arcana representation of the Sacred Feminine.  The Empress is about creativity, fertility of all kinds, a deep connection to Nature and its workings; since my Empress is reversed, all these pleasures could end up dissipating my focus.

My Legacy card is The Fool reversed, flavored by the Queen of Wands. 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 his powers and energies are neither positive nor negative.  My Fool is reversed, though, and being flavored by the Queen of Wands. The Queen of Wands (cusp of Pisces, “I believe,” feelings, duality, soul growth, spirituality, and Aries, “I want,” action oriented, assertive, competitive) is energetic and enthusiastic, gives 100% of herself, and always has a smile on her face and humor in her heart.  My Queen is not about undocumented optimism, and since The Fool is reversed, I just might need to listen to the Queen.  Now granted, the suit of Wands can be unpredictable, but the rank of Queen keeps that Fire under control.  So I think I will trust her rather than the reversed Fool, and indeed in a reversed position, its message could be to be careful, ask questions, and look before I leap.

My 6-digit date number is 3, the number that tells of a new creation out of the potential and position of the Ace, and the balance, polarity, and understanding of distance between of the 2.

My horoscopes: “You may be confused when it comes to matters of the heart, Sagittarius. Perhaps you feel cheated when the object of your desire doesn't give you complete attention at all times. The fundamental security of your being is your responsibility, not someone else's. Find a way to incorporate your dreams into the dreams of others instead of always working toward goals at opposite sides of the spectrum.”

And: “The day ahead should be fairly positive, and you will begin to feel the faintest hints of a major change beginning today. This new phase will last seven months. As it progresses, you will find greater freedom of expression and you can expect to go into high gear on subjects you used to avoid in the past. Some friction with your brothers and sisters is likely to arise in the next few months.”

My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the Nine of Pentacles.  LOL, this seems to be my suit with this deck.  This card offers a bridge between the spiritual and the physical, and I love the fact that the Shadowscapes Nine of Pentacles uses music to create this bridge.  And of course, being able to create music involves discipline, and the ability to trust ourselves and our abilities.

We’ve let Astrology sit for long enough!  And guess what?  It’s actually time to start talking about the individual signs!  We’ve talked about Astrology in general, we’ve talked about Cardinal, Mutable and Fixed, and we’ve talked about the individual planets.  We can’t talk about anything else until we cover the signs of the Zodiac.
