The
Hanging Man/Nine of Swords reversed.
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) presents
the kind of balance that comes to us through surrender, and through seeing
things in a different way. But
since he is reversed, I need to avoid indecision and do things pretty much
by-the-book, and I need to think about my own needs. The Nine of Swords (Mars, action, spontaneity, aggression, in
Gemini, “I think,” curious, talkative, social, dual) in an upright position represents
brooding and worrying, usually self-caused, and usually unproductive. Crowley calls this worrying “cruelty of
the mind,” and he’s right. This
kind of worry is a total waste of time and energy and from the looks of things,
I won’t fall into this funk.
My
Thoth card is the Nine of Wands. “Strength” is the
keyword for this card. The Nine of Wands (Moon,
feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination, in Sagittarius, “I seek,”
philosophic, fun-loving, adventurous, blundering) in an upright position tells
us to prepare for the worst, but to wait before being aggressive. Strategic
withdrawal or hiding from the truth may not be effective today
My
Legacy card is the Knight of Cups reversed, flavored by the Seven of Swords
reversed. The Knight of Cups (cusp of Aquarius, “I
know,” friendships, the group, cause-oriented, and Pisces, “I believe,”
feelings, duality, suffering, soul growth) in an upright position is about
feeling things strongly and without restraint or grounding. He may appear calm, cool and collected
to others, but my Knight of Cups responds deeply to life, and dreams big
dreams. He is not about power and
dominance in the physical world, and thus his attributes might be
underestimated. He has a powerful
connection to his own feelings and to his Inner Voice. The Seven of Swords (Moon, feelings and emotions,
illusion, imagination, in Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, cause-oriented, the
group, aloofness) tells of the effort to maintain things as we want them, often
through the use of deception and without considering the wants or needs of
others.
My
6-digit date number is 4, the number of depth and stability.
My
horoscopes: “Love is in the air, Sagittarius! You may encounter some
wonderfully passionate situations today. You're ready to live these marvelously
rich and emotional experiences to the fullest. Put your doubts and insecurities
away for the time being. Lose yourself in pleasure and the unknown. Have a
great time!”
And: “The
fiery charge of the day is helping you press through with the projects you have
brewing. Set things in motion now. Get out of the background and onto the
center of the stage. Your rocket is on the pad ready to take off. All you have
now is to ignite the engine. Use the power of your emotions to deliver a
powerful boost that will propel you to the stars.”
My
Shadowscapes Insight is regarding The Hermit. Love this guy; he is the seeker who turns his back to the
bright lights and noises of the city, and heads out into quiet solitude. It is only then that he can hear the
whispers on the wind, maybe for the first time!
Another
Wild Unknown Tarot card, and this one is a beauty. The High Priestess.
The image on this card is a white tiger, sitting serenely with that inscrutable
look cats can get, a rainbow hewed crystal ball between her paws and a waning
crescent moon in the sky. Cats are
mysterious creatures; anyone who has ever lived with one knows this. They are predators, and yet they are
devoted parents and loving companions.
But they seem to see things or hear things that aren’t there; they seem
to know things that we can’t even imagine, never mind sense the presence
of. Even in repose, eyes half
closed, gazing gently off into the distance, we can tell that she knows . . .
she just knows.
