The Magician reversed/Four of
Cups. The Magician corresponds with Air (hot/separates
and wet/adapts, and quick and animated energy which usually presents problems
or challenges), Mercury (reason, intelligence, orderliness, communication),
Beth (house; builder) and the Path between Binah (female, receptive energy and
the origin of form and structure) and Kether (the source, limitless
possibility). The Magician in an
upright position works hard to perfect his abilities, to make use of those
abilities in unexpected ways, and to focus and carry through to the end of a
task (which is pretty important to him).
However my card is reversed, and perhaps today is not a day for me to
take the lead regarding any creative endeavors. Stick to the plan! No improvising! The
Four of Cups (the Moon, feelings and emotions,
illusion, imagination, in Cancer, “I feel,” sensitive, nurturing, tenacious,
moody) tells us that too much pleasure, or maybe too much nurturing or
overprotectiveness, deadens the senses.
I need to remember that emotions might cloud the issues today, and they
might distract me. Deadened senses
won’t be useful.
My Thoth card is the Ace of
Swords. The Ace of Swords (Capricorn, “I build,”
ambition, caution authority, cunning, Aquarius and Pisces, “I believe,”
feeling, duality, soul growth, artistic) in an upright position tells of the birth
of ideas and concepts. If this
card was upright, it would be telling me that I am ready to make use of logic
and analysis in order to assert my Will.
To Crowley, the Sword on this card belongs to The Magician, and it is
the True Will symbolized by this Sword that pierces the crown of Kether. Powerful symbolism, powerful
potential! But potential only, not
yet manifested, and I need to keep in mind that my Magician above is reversed.
My Legacy card is the Six of
Swords, flavored by the Three of Coins reversed. Another good Swords card. The Six
of Swords (Mercury, reason, intelligence, education, communication, in
Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, the group, cause oriented) in an upright
position is about balance, healing, moving towards a better place, and even
about learning the science behind things that work (because understanding why
they work makes them more effective).
The Three of Coins (Mars, action, spontaneity, aggression, drive, in
Capricorn, “I build,” ambition, cunning, competence) in an upright position tells
of competence, planning and teamwork.
The card is reversed, and it is flavoring the Six of Swords, and it is
telling me that the work I need to do in order to move forward needs to be more
of a solitary nature, although it should also strive to bring me back to a normal
routine and a focus forward rather than reviewing regrets or joys of the past.
My 6-digit date number is 4,
the number of depth and stability.
My horoscopes: “Upsetting
news about money may come your way today, Sagittarius. This could involve your
personal finances or economic factors in general that indirectly affect your
finances. Don't panic. All may not be as it seems! Check the facts before
acting. The situation could be real, but it's more likely the product of
overblown journalism. Don't believe everything you read.”
And: “It's
a great day to explore your creativity. This is probably not a new thing for
you. Sagittarians are often artistic. Staying focused on one thing can be
another story though. Today's energy can give you the extra concentration to go
along with getting a creative project completed. With this, make the most of
this by either finishing something from before or tackling a new one. Have fun
by expressing yourself and in creating.”
My Shadowscapes Insight is
regarding The Moon. Interesting. Fears, anxiety and distortions are all a
part of this card, but so too are dreams and fantasies. We must remember that they are not
real, not the fantasies and not the fear, but there are benefits to be had in
any case. Going beyond the known
and understood and predictable can be a magickal experience.
Today, I taught a Yoga Basics
Class at the studio where I am training, with my teacher sitting in the back of
the room taking notes.
**gulp** There really is
nothing like a challenge. The
class was full, many of my fellow YTT Trainees were there to support me, and I
survived. For a first class in the
studio, I am pleased with the results, but there is room for improvement. I’ve received some great feedback,
valuable suggestions. And I
survived!!
