The Lovers/Eight of Cups. Hmmm . . . looks like today’s theme is
choices. The Lovers (Air, hot/separates and
wet/adapts, quick and animated, intellectual, problems or challenges; Gemini,
“I think,” curious, talkative, sociable, dual; Zayin, double-edged sword; and
the Path between Tiphareth, the hub of the creation process where energies
harmonize and focus to illuminate and clarify, and Binah, female receptive
energy and the origin of form and structure) tells of duality, union, and
personal choices. This card is
about love, but it is also about our personal values and how they affect our
choices, and the promises we make to others. We need to feel good about ourselves, but we also need to
feel good about those that we love, and the promises we make to them. The
Eight of Cups (Saturn, discipline, responsibility, limitation, law and order,
in Pisces, “I believe,” feeling, duality, suffering, soul growth) tells of an
ending or a decline or a change of direction, often one associated with
emotions, and it offers one possible response to that decline or change: moving
on. This ends up being the only realistic choice when all
else appears doomed to failure.
My Thoth card is the Three of
Swords reversed. **Whew** “Sorrow” is Crowley’s keyword for this one. The Three of Swords (Saturn, discipline, responsibility,
limitations and resistance, in Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance,
cooperation) in an upright position usually indicates the possibility that
logic, rationalizing and the intellect could end up causing harm if they are
not used with balance and compassion. Thankfully my card is reversed today, so
I will be able to own any discomforts, and deal with them in a balanced and
effective way. No guaranty of
smooth sailing, but I will reach the destination.
My Legacy card is The Devil
reversed, flavored by the Two of Swords.
The Devil (Earth (cold/binds and dry/shapes, and stable,
material, practical energies that are slow to change), Capricorn (“I build,”
ambitious, competent, cautious, cunning), Ayin (the eye, senses), and the Path
between Hod (which provides analysis and communication) and Tipareth (the hub
of the creation process where energies harmonize and focus to illuminate and
clarify) tells of being caught up in the physical world and the effects of the
physical senses, to the point of being bound or addicted to those things. The
Devil is not always a card of addiction; at times it just indicates that the
call of the wild and primal world of Nature may be a distraction. My Devil
is reversed today, and being flavored by the Two of Swords. The Two of Swords (Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination, in
Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation) represents a time of not
looking or of shutting out the world. The serenity of this card happens because we are vigilant and
on guard, and because we choose to not receive or acknowledge as valid the
information that comes to us from the outside. Perhaps the influence of the Two of Swords is what is
keeping my Devil in a reversed position; distracting myself from the draw of
physical world pleasures could break the bonds.
My 6-digit date number is 4,
the number that tells of depth and stability.
My horoscopes: “Do you
sometimes go about things backward, Sagittarius? Are you caught up in the rat
race of trying to have more money and security with the idea that eventually
you'll earn the freedom to do what makes you happy? The happiness factor
actually works in reverse. You must first be who you are and then take the
necessary actions in order to have what you really want.”
And: “Your imagination is
soaring today. Now that you've finally acknowledged your interest in mystical
and metaphysical matters, you can't seem to get enough information. You've
bought out the New Age bookstores, yet still you're hungry for more. Travel
might be in your future, so you can experience some of the world's holy places
first hand.”
My Shadowscapes Insight is
regarding the King of Pentacles. Where’ve you been, my friend? I haven’t seen this one in a bit. The King of Pentacles. The expert at managing resources so
everyone benefits. That is who I
am today.
