Three of Wands/The Hermit reversed. The Three of Wands (Sun, the inner core
of a person or situation, the deepest self and personal power, in Aries, “I
want,” action oriented, pioneering, assertive) tells of the excitement of
seeking out uncharted areas with an optimism that says that no matter what
happens, it will be good. This
card also reminds me that sometimes premonitions are to be listened to. The Hermit corresponds with Earth
(cold/binds and dry/shapes, and material, practical and stable energy that is
slow to change), as well as Virgo (“I serve,” practical, analytical, work and
service oriented, orderly), Yod (open hand, touch), and the Path between
Tiphareth (the hub of the creation process where energies harmonize and focus
to illuminate and clarify) and Chesed (the place where forms and structure are
stabilized and nurtured), and upright is about searching within for a deeper
meaning. Because my Hermit is
reversed, the time for solitary soul searching might be over. Rather than looking within, I should be
anticipating some positive events on the way.
My Thoth card is the Prince of Cups
reversed. 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. He may appear calm, cool and collected
to others, but my Prince of Cups is actually filled with intense passion. He is reversed, so the calmness may be
within me today. In any event,
this is another Cups card that is telling of a bit of an imbalance. Perhaps my dreamy connection to my
inner self may cause me to trip and skin my knee.
My Legacy card is the Knight of Swords
reversed, flavored by the Ace of Coins. The
Knight of Swords (the cusp of Taurus, “I have,” sensual, stubborn, cautious,
and Gemini, “I think,” curious, talkative, dual, intelligent) in an upright
position is outspoken, assured, alert, and logical, as well as rude,
domineering, critical and sarcastic.
My Knight is reversed, and this could mean that logic and analysis may
not be my friend today. It is okay
to speak my mind, but I should be careful that I don’t hurt someone. The Ace of Coins (Aries, “I want,” action oriented,
assertive, competitive, Taurus, “I have,” sensual, cautious, stubborn, and
Gemini, “I think,” curious, talkative, dual, social) tells of the presence of
potential that is connected in some way to the physical world. My Ace of Coins is flavoring my
reversed Knight of Swords, and the grounding and focus on the physical world
(with its predictability and orderliness) just might balance out his need to
dominate or criticize. After all,
the Ace of Coins brings the potential for stability into the mix.
My 6-digit date number is 7, the number
that tells of a pause and assessment as growth begins to slow and degeneration
approaches, often asking for a choice of some kind.
My horoscopes: “Other people may be demanding of you, Sagittarius, so do what you
can to please the crowd. Don't go overboard in thinking you need to be someone
you're not, and certainly don't do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
Be generous with your affection, but make sure you receive emotional support in
return. There are likely to be some imbalances that need minor adjustments.”
And: “You
probably spend a lot of time and energy convincing your friends or gathering
people you love around you. Sometimes, your actions are vain or they won't have
the result you were waiting for. Shouldn't you change your attitude? Today, you
will be feeling out of shape and you need to use your energy wisely!”
My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the
Five of Wands. The image on the
Shadowscapes Five of Wands is such a great metaphor for its energies. It shows a hunter and a bunch of foxes,
running willy-nilly, and the prey, the little rabbit, is bounding away to
safety, not even seen because of all the confusion. What a great way to use the energies of this card!
I had such a wonderful weekend, and I
would be remiss if I did not memorialize the events here, as they brought me
much pleasure, and even a bit of evolution.
For the third year, I attended the
Solstice Salon at the Wayne Contingency of the Pagan Brain Trust. What a truly wonderful tradition this
has become! Phillie, from the West
Coast Contingency, was in attendance again, as well as three other dear
friends. Yes, last year there was
a larger group, and it was truly fun to talk to so many different versions of
“woo-woo.” But it seems that we
all felt this year’s Salon needed to be more intimate. As always, a delicious multi course
meal was presented, and meaningful gifts were exchanged. The topics of conversation roamed far
and wide, as they tend to do when this group gets together. And once the Witching Hour passed, we
went on to what we call the “After Party,” with just the five of us connecting
with a depth that is amazing.
Despite having a busy day on Sunday, I
did not get home until almost 3 am Sunday morning (which seems to be
traditional for me, as far as Solstice Salons go). I was able to sleep, despite the fact that my mind was
rehashing our many conversations; must be because my belly was full of
delicious food.
I had planned on attending a 9 am Yoga
Class, but I decided that since I was still recovering from bronchitis and I
had a long day ahead of me, I would be better off sleeping in. I did get up with enough time to do my
own Yoga practice, and then we headed into New York to meet Bob’s clients for
dinner and a show.
We went to see Chaplain, and it was
awesome! I was moved to tears at
the end of the play. We had great
seats (we sat in the middle of the front row!), and the icing on the cake was
that Phillie told me last night that he knows the star of this show! After the Show, we all walked over to
Sardi’s and had a delicious dinner.
Needless to say, once we finally got home, I headed for bed.
Well, if the world ends on Friday and
this was my last weekend, I could not have come up with a better
itinerary.
