The Hanging Man reversed/Two of
Swords reversed. The Hanging Man corresponds
with Water (cold/binds and wet/adapts, and emotional,
sensitive and imaginative energy that tends to move deep, and attempts to take
the same path as in the past), Neptune (inspiration, spirituality, magick,
enchantment, dreams, altered states), and the Hebrew letter Mem (water,
stability and balance, the reflective quality of thought), and presents the
kind of balance that comes to us through surrender, and through deliberately
attempting to see things in a different way. My Hanging Man is reversed, so I most likely will not be
comfortable with fatalism; instead I may need a more hands-on method. The Two of Swords (Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion,
imagination, in Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation) validates
my Eight of Pentacles, because this card represents a time of not looking or of
shutting out the world. The
serenity of this card happens because we choose to not receive or acknowledge
as valid the information that comes to us from the outside. Because my Two of Swords is also
reversed, it is validating the hands-on method indicated by the reversed
Hanging Man.
My Thoth cards are The Moon and
the Knight of Swords. 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. This card is telling me that today,
nothing is as it seems. The Thoth
rank of Knight equals the rank of King.
The Knight/King of Swords (cusp of
Capricorn, “I build,” ambitious, cautious, cunning, authoritative, and
Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, the group, cause-oriented, aloof) is a good
judge of people and situations. He
uses his intellect to analyze, so he may not be compassionate but he is
trustworthy, and he can be trusted to fiercely stand by his decisions. These two cards together make me
uneasy; hopefully my King can be cunning and a good judge of situations, for
those situations may not be what they appear to be on the surface.
My Legacy card is the Page of
Swords reversed, flavored by the Five of Coins reversed. The Page
of Swords (Capricorn, “I build,” ambitious, competent, cautious, cunning,
Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, the group, society, cause-oriented, and
Pisces, “I believe,” feelings, duality, soul growth, spirituality) in an
upright position tells us to use our mind and intellect to analyze our situations
as well as our emotions and feelings. My reversed Page could be indicating a
bit of indecision today, or perhaps a need for compromise rather than bold
action. My Page of Swords is being flavored by another reversed
card, the reversed Five of Coins. The Five of Coins (Mercury, reason,
intelligence, education, skill, communication, in Taurus, “I have,” sensual,
cautious, stubborn) in an upright position tells of some loss or need within
the physical world. Sometimes this
card can indicate an inability to balance personal issues with professional
issues; whatever the issue, the upright card presents the hidden reminder that
there may be light in unlooked-for places. My Five of Coins is reversed, however, and it indicates the
possibility of revived energy in my physical world, perhaps a direct result of
the compromise and pause before taking action represented by the reversed Page
of Swords.
My 6-digit date number is 10,
signifying the end of a cycle; this number can be reduced further to the number
1, representing potential and position.
My horoscopes: “Don't blow things out of proportion today. You're
apt to have a tendency to exaggerate everything to such a degree that you
completely lose touch with the true reality of the situation. You could be
painting a terrible scene in order to elicit pity from others. Be honest about
the situation before you create more enemies than friends.”
And: “Just
when you thought things were going fine and that you had everything figured
out, a curve ball comes your way to make you think otherwise. Be on the lookout
for ways in which you can stay on top of the situation so that if indeed you
are faced with problems or opposition, you have your arsenal in line and ready
to go. The key is to not let your guard down at any time.”
Onward; another Wild Unknown Tarot card: The Daughter of
Swords. The image on this one is
of a young owl perched on a Sword, with a dark night sky behind the owl
sprinkled with multi-colored stars.
The owl is alert and watchful, but does not seem frightened or
agitated. To me, she is seeing
things clearly with eyes that have not been prejudiced by past
experiences. This ability to see
things as they are right now, without imposing expectations or intentions, can
offer powerful insight!
