Seven of Wands/Knight of Wands
reversed. The Seven of
Wands (Mars, action, spontaneity, aggression, drive, in Leo, “I am,”
passionate, dramatic, natural leader, egotistical, selfish) reminds me that my
own judgment is worth relying on, so I should have confidence in that
judgment. This card also reminds
me to choose my projects carefully, and then stand by them until the end. Fear is the mind-killer . . . . The Knight
of Wands (cusp of Scorpio, “I desire,” intense, controlling, deep, obsessive,
and Sagittarius, “I seek,” philosophic, fun-loving, blundering) in an upright
position usually represents a person of passion, courage, enthusiasm and
boundless energy; most definitely not background-type efforts.
My Knight is reversed, and with all these other Fiery cards today, I may
find that keeping quiet is the real challenge. But worth the effort apparently; foot-in-mouth disease is no
fun.
My Thoth cards are The Moon
reversed and The Sun reversed. Uh oh, danger ahead. But maybe not; when checking my horoscopes today, I found
this: “The Sun and Moon call for peace today! Opposites are
dissolved in a congenial way or a limbo-like state continues.” The
Moon of the Tarot Major Arcana corresponds with Water (cold/binds and
wet/adapts, emotional and sensitive energy that strives to stay the same),
Pisces (“I believe,” feeling, suffering, soul growth, duality), Qof (the back
of the head), and the Path between Malkuth (the physical world of action and
physical, outer reality) and Netzach (the stimulating factors of emotion and
inspiration), is about feelings and emotions and instincts and the
subconscious. All of these things
can work for us, when we imagine, or they can work against us, when we fear
unreasonably. My Moon is reversed,
and it could be presenting irrational fears or warning me that I might be
believing illusions rather than truths. 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 upright it tells of a time of enlightenment and peace that comes after the
completion of some ordeal. Yep,
this makes sense when combined with the reversed Moon, but I am still
optimistic because even reversed, The Sun is not a bad card. Nothing is as it seems, but if I take
these two cards seriously, perhaps I can see through the darkness, or at least
be able to tread water until tomorrow, when energies might be more auspicious.
My Legacy card is The Lovers
reversed, flavored by the Ace of Wands reversed. Hmmm . . . all reversed cards, three of them Wands, with only
one card upright, also a Wands card. 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. Today, spirit and
the mind might be on opposing courses, and I might be better off staying with
the group, rather than making decisions on my own. My reversed Lovers is flavored today by another reversed
Wands card, the Ace of Wands reversed. The Ace of Wands (Leo, “I am,”
passionate, dramatic, egotistical, Virgo, “I serve,” practical, analytical, sensible,
orderly) tells of the initial emanation of enthusiasm or inspiration that could
very well energize an entire process or project. Like all the Aces, this emanation is presented as potential
only, but oh boy, what potential.
This pure Fiery energy can be unpredictable, and with all my cards today
taken together, unpredictability just might not be the right choice for me.
My 6-digit date number is 3,
the number that tells of a new creation from the potential and position of the
Ace and the balance, polarity, and energy of “distance between” of the 2.
My horoscopes: “Are
you planning to hear a sermon, lecture, or speech of some kind today? Don't be
surprised if what the speaker says turns out to be more hot air than useful
information. He or she is probably more interested in venting feelings than
presenting the facts. Opinions can be valuable, too, so listen. Take it all
with a grain of salt until you've checked out the facts.”
And: “Keep
your eyes and ears open to all sorts of possibilities today, as it is likely
that you may be presented with an intriguing business opportunity. Even if it
is not something to which you want to dedicate your life, there could be some
merit in simply helping out with the venture for a few months. Think of it this
way: you build your resume while at the same time building your bank account.
Surely that is reason enough for signing on.”
Another Wild Unknown Tarot
card: Strength. This card shows
the face of a lion with a large and fluffy mane (a sign of authority and dominance
in male lions), as if he has just appeared from behind tall grasses and is
ready to pounce on his prey, but instead of a growl, he carries a white rose in
his mouth, not a sharp, pointy tooth to be seen. This lion is strong, without a doubt, and patient and
courageous; he is a leader who leads through applying what he’s learned in his
life. He is more than able to
succeed as a predator, but instead he is controlling his instincts and choosing
peace and serenity. He even has
the symbol for infinity, a lemniscate (similar meaning to the ouroboros), on
his brow, telling us that the strength represented by this card is not
dependent upon a strong body, but rather a strong Will, and thus it is eternal. Interestingly enough, the lemniscate
also represents the circuit through which spirit can dissolve into matter, and
matter can dissolve into spirit.
