Seven of Swords reversed/Knight
of Cups. The Seven of Swords (Moon, feelings
and emotions, illusion, imagination, in Aquarius, “I know,” friendships,
cause-oriented, the group, aloofness) in an upright position 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 card is reversed, so hopefully I won’t be wasting time
and effort (and integrity!) on projects that would be better left alone The 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. Today,
feelings and dreams and imagination will all strive to have a say in how things
manifest. Because my Knight is
upright, I am going to assume the intensity of those things will be good.
My Thoth card is the Knight of
Disks. In the Thoth Tarot, the
rank of Knight equals the rank of King in other decks. The Knight/King of Disks (cusp of Aries, “I want,” action
oriented, assertive, competitive, and Taurus, “I have,” sensual, stubborn,
cautious, physically oriented) is the expert on physical world manifestation of
all kinds. He is good at managing
physical world resources, but he focuses a lot on the business end of
things. Today it might be easy to
lose touch with nature as tasks are taken care of.
My Legacy card is the Knight of
Swords reversed, flavored by The Empress reversed. The Knight of Swords
(the cusp of Taurus, “I have,” sensual, stubborn, cautious, and Gemini, “I
think,” curious, talkative, dual, intelligent) is outspoken, assured, alert,
and logical, as well as rude, domineering, critical and sarcastic. My Knight is reversed, which means that
ideas might tumble over each other, without the ability to be productive. A lack of tolerance for others could
cause some discomfort, and so could a lack of mental focus. My reversed Knight of Swords is being
flavored by another reversed card, The Empress. 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. My
Empress is reversed, and again I am being warned that I may have trouble
concentrating or focusing today. She
also represents fertility and the pleasure of the senses, and that reversed
Knight coupled with an imbalance within The Empress could bring stagnation or
lethargy.
My 6-digit date number is 2,
the number of balance, polarity, and the energy of “distance between.”
My horoscopes: “Making
use of state-of-the-art technology to increase your income could take up your
time and energy today, Sagittarius. You might be starting a new business or
enhancing the efficiency of a current one, but in order to do it your brain
will have to process a lot of information. Don't be intimidated by the
technical stuff. Just take it step by step and you'll catch on.”
And: “Your
intuition and imagination are operating at a very high level today, and you may
be inspired to write. However, you aren't likely to have enough ideas or
information to actually put pen to paper. There is no rush, though. Take some
time to allow the ideas to crystallize and set them down later. Someone in a
bad mood may try to draw you into a quarrel. Don't fall into this trap! Brush
it off and say you're busy!”
My Shadowscapes Insight is
regarding the Eight of Cups.
A perfect solution to the muddy clouds of my cards today. The Shadowscapes Eight of Cups urges us
to turn away from the confusion and hustle and bustle of the outside world, and
to turn instead toward the calm and quiet of the inner self. Perhaps just a bit of time focusing
within could allow me to make sense of the inability to focus presented by my
cards today.
Well, my computer is repaired,
my iPod speakers are repaired, and I went to a lovely (and tough) Yoga
class. Now all I need is a good
night’s sleep!
