The High Priestess
reversed/Judgement reversed. The High Priestess (Water; the Moon,
feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination; Gimel, the camel who safely crosses Da’ath, the Abyss, and
thus, has the secret of life; and the Path between Tiphareth, the hub of the
creation process where energies harmonize and focus to illuminate and clarify,
and Kether, the source, limitless possibility), is one-half of the Major Arcana
representation of the Sacred Feminine, with The Empress being the other half.
The High Priestess is the source of the power of The Magician, the feminine
version of The Hierophant, and the Keeper of the Mysteries. She reminds me today that having an
intense connection to my intuition is only good if I am keeping a positive
frame of mind; after all, I attract to me what I think about. I should probably also strive to be
crystal clear today in how I present myself and my ideas. Judgement corresponds with Fire (hot/separates and dry/shapes, and
spontaneous, impulsive and
energetic change), Pluto (power, metamorphosis, cycles of dying and becoming),
Shin (fang), and the Path between Malkuth (the physical world of action and
physical, outer reality) and Hod (provides analysis and communication) in an
upright position represents an opportunity to tally up and pay the bill so we
can have a fresh start. Again I am
being reminded through my reversed Judgement card that clarity is important,
and I can’t rely only on my instincts when summing up today. All events matter, even the most
mundane, and I might be tempted to take shortcuts today. Those shortcuts might not have good
results.
My Thoth card is the Four of
Wands. “Completion” is Crowley’s
keyword for this one, but it does not mean that all is done. Four of Wands, flavored by the King of
Cups reversed. The Four of Wands (Venus, beauty, allure,
relationships, in Aries, “I want,” action oriented, assertive, enthusiastic), is
about building enough to become established, about the results of harmony and
effort and creativity combined.
This is often considered a fortunate card because it tells of an
effectively planned and manifested foundation already in place. Perhaps this, my only upright card, is
the most important message for me today.
Pause, look around, enjoy the fruits of my labors and the harmony and
serenity available to me.
My Legacy card is Judgement
reversed (again), flavored by the Ten of Swords reversed. The Legacy Judgement card reminds us
that sometimes it is not enough to release the past. Sometimes we must call those past events back into the
present so we can face them once more, in order to bring true closure. Only then can we “put out the
trash.” Today this may not be a
productive task; reviewing the past could end up producing a bit of discomfort,
too much discomfort to allow a clear view of the events that need dealing
with. My reversed Judgement is
being flavored by the Ten of Swords, also reversed. The Ten
of Swords (the Sun, the inner core of a person or situation, in Gemini, “I
think,” curious, sociable, dual, talkative) in an upright position tells of the
perception of the complete manifestation of interference, powerlessness and
restriction. The reversed card
tells of power and confidence, but it also reminds me that burning bridges is
not an option. Even if at the
moment, things don’t appear to be happening the way I want them to happen, a
happy ending could be just around the corner. Perhaps rather than rushing to Judgement, I need to pause a
bit, as per the recommendation of the Four of Wands above, and focus on what I
have accomplished, rather than on what I tried to accomplish but did not
succeed.
My 6-digit date number is 8,
the number that tells of the conscious and deliberate response to the pause and
approach of degeneration of the number 7.
My horoscopes: “There
may be a bit of restlessness due to strong forces urging you to take action,
Sagittarius. A dynamic feeling is in the air and calling on you to get up and
get moving. Take this opportunity to push through some of your new ideas. Make
strides toward the completion of your goals. Don't let your emotions get in the
way of your mental processes.”
And: “Whatever
tasks you choose to focus on today are likely to be helped along by an
increased level of logic and efficiency. In addition, insights into more
ingenious methods of communicating and carrying out your ideas should enable
you not only to get things done more quickly today, but streamline your efforts
in the future. Don't be surprised if you have similar insights into the
thoughts and feelings of those around you. Make the most of them!”
My Shadowscapes Insight is regarding the Seven of Wands. This card is about defending what is
important, and taking a stand against all who seem to be against me. I need to stand my ground, despite
opposition, and I need to choose carefully the situations that will benefit
most from having the courage to bend with the winds.
I’m hoping to spend lots of
time in my beloved garden tomorrow.
Happy Friday the 13th!
