The World/Universe reversed/The
Sun reversed. The World, which corresponds with Earth
(cold/binds and dry/shapes, and material, stable and practical energy that is
slow to change), Saturn (discipline, responsibility, limitations and
resistance), Thav (mark or sign), and the Path between Malkuth (the physical
world of action and physical, outer reality) and Yesod (the place where
patterns and images emerge that may manifest into the physical world) is a card
of integration and involvement and understanding, a crystallization of the
entire issue at hand. My World
card is reversed, and considering my other cards today, I am okay with
this. I am being told that all
around me, things are setting up to really bring many facets of my life into
harmony. I am not tapping into
this energy yet, but just knowing it is there will facilitate the
connection. The Sun corresponds
with Fire (hot/separates and dry/shapes, spontaneous, impulsive and energetic
change), our Sun (the inner core of a person or situation), Resh (the face;
reason), and the Path between Yesod (the place where patterns and images emerge
that may manifest in the physical world) and Hod (provides analysis and
communication), and in an upright position it tells of a time of enlightenment
and peace that comes after the completion of some ordeal, kind of a more
temporary yet equally powerful energy as The Universe! My Sun is also reversed
and I am seeing this as a validation of the message of the reversed Universe. The resources are there to attain the
enlightenment or achievement, but in order to access them, I need to be sure I
am seeing them clearly and objectively, and I need to be patient.
My Thoth card is The Hanging
Man. Did I just mention that I
needed to be patient? Yep! 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 presents the kind of balance that comes to us through surrender, and
through deliberately attempting to see things in a different way. This card can also be referring to
finding balance between the past and the current time, or between what I want
and what the Universe is presenting to me, or between what I think I know and
what really “is.” Uncle Al sees
this one as representing either enforced or voluntary suffering, as well as a
sense of fatalism; I guess that makes The Hanging Man the “it is what it is”
card!
My Legacy card is The Empress
reversed, flavored by the Six of Coins.
Another Major Arcana card!!
Powerful energies today. 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 the nurturing of
others, and an enjoyment of the senses.
She is my significator, so her presence either upright or reversed is a
huge “pay attention!” to me. The
Empress is a good ally as long as we are doing the work ourselves, and the card
presenting itself in a reversed position is reminding me that distractions
could be my undoing today. However,
The Empress is there, even though she is reversed, so her energies will bolster
my faith in my own hard-earned abilities to tap into the energies around me,
and both enjoy and benefit from them.
My reversed Empress is being flavored by a card that enforces this last
sentence, the Six of Coins. The
Six of Coins (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. This is the
awareness that being rich does not just mean having physical possessions, and
that sometimes the best thing we can do with what we have, whether plentiful or
barely enough for our own benefit, is to share it. Perhaps this focus outward, the deliberate emitting and
sharing of my own energy, is what I need to turn the rest of those Majors
around!
My 6-digit date number is 6,
the number of vertical and horizontal balance. Wow, good energies today!!
My horoscopes: “The absence of direct expressions of love might
make your life seem rather empty today, Sagittarius. If you're single, there
may be nobody around to have fun with. If you're involved, chances are your
current love interest is unable to get together. Don't waste time fretting over
this. Make some other plans”
And: “Things
are looking up for you today, and you will find that your emotional status is
very good. You have a keen eye for love and beauty, and you will know by the
look in someone's eye that they are more interested in getting close to you
than you first thought. Feel free to take the lead in romantic situations. Your
heart knows which way to lead you.”
My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding The Hanged Man. Okay, I get the message! Letting go and surrendering to emotional
release is the next step that brings us toward a higher state of being. The stillness of this card draws my
mind “. . . into that place of deep meditation where thought becomes action and
where the stillness speaks with the voices of the gods.” Yes, I want to go to that place!
It has been a busy week, but I think I am ready for a nice
long weekend with good friends. I
will hopefully put up at least one blog post, if not more.
