The Empress/Ace of Swords. 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 tells me that even honest
work can be a pleasure, and tapping into the energies around me is a reward
unto itself The Ace of Swords (Capricorn, “I build,” ambition, caution
authority, cunning, Aquarius and Pisces, “I believe,” feeling, duality, soul
growth, artistic) tells of the birth of ideas and concepts. The Ace of Swords me that I am ready to
make use of logic and analysis in order to assert my Will. But the skills
offered by this card are potential only, not yet manifested, and I need
remember this.
My Thoth card is The Sun
reversed. 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 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. The cool thing
about The Sun is that it is good even when reversed; it just tells us that the
intensity of the relief and enlightenment is less than if the card was upright.
My Legacy card is the Ace of
Cups reversed, flavored by the King of Cups reversed. The Ace
of Cups (Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation, Scorpio, “I
desire,” intense, deep, mysterious, obsessive, Sagittarius, “I seek,”
philosophic, fun-loving, adventurous, blundering) in an upright position tells
of the potential to experience deep emotions, a connection to my Inner Voice,
and a connection to those around me.
My Ace is reversed, and this could mean that today emotions won’t serve
me.
My reversed Ace of Cups is being flavored by the King of Cups, also
reversed. The King of Cups (cusp of Libra, “We are,”
partnerships, balance, cooperation, and Scorpio, “I desire,” intense,
controlling mysterious, obsessive) in an upright position is the expert on
emotions and the subconscious, mainly because of his life experiences. My reversed King is validating the
message of the reversed Ace, and in fact, he is stating, in a Kingly way, that
I should ground myself well today, and keep my emotions on an even keel.
My 6-digit date number is 6,
the number of vertical and horizontal balance.
My horoscopes: “Today brings
the opportunity to see things as they are and not as you'd like them to be.
It's easy to fool yourself sometimes, but you can only get away with that for
so long before the truth comes out. There comes a time when you need to face
things. Any time is an excellent time to start fresh. Take your time and trust
in yourself.”
And: “Listen to the viewpoint
of others and make careful note. It could be that in your quest for adventure
and freedom, you are not keeping tabs on the people you are directly affecting.
Keep the information flowing through you. There is a great deal of air to fuel
your fire today, so take advantage of the heat but be careful that you don't
burn yourself or the people around you.”
My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding
the Two of Cups. Here is the
emotional balance I need today!
This card is about the bringing together of opposites, a sort of
emotional Yin and Yang.
Steamy day today! It was 95 degrees, and I am still
sweating. Cool for the weekend,
though. I hope to spend a lot of
time in my beloved garden.
