The Hanging Man/Queen of
Swords. 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. “It is
what it is” should be my mantra today, and I just might learn more from **not**
doing than from doing. Seeing
things a new way is also important, as are sacrifices I make in order to offer
something to others. The Queen of
Swords (cusp of Virgo, “I serve,” practical, sensible, work and service
oriented, and Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation, grace) can
be considered a Minor Arcana representation of the Justice card, which is about
responsibility and the relationship between “cause” and “effect.” This Queen reminds me that thoughts
stay in the mind, and the only way they can affect our outside world is if we
allow them to do so. However, she
also advocates caution, for all thoughts, words and deeds have
consequences.
My Thoth card is the Prince of
Wands reversed. For the Thoth
Tarot, the rank of Prince equals the rank of Knight. The Prince/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 boy is he ever validating that Hanging Man
above. Enthusiasm and energy just
might get me into trouble today, and resources may not work out as I expect
them to; better to surrender and just be aware.
My Legacy card is the Knight of
Swords, flavored by the Five of Coins 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. To this
Knight, belief is important. He
understands the power of the mind, and oh boy, can he use that power. He is filled with ideas, but those
ideas are not organized at all; a lack of mental focus, anyone? My
Knight of Swords is being flavored by 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. My Five of Coins is reversed, however,
and maybe it is reversed because of the power of belief being offered by my
Knight.
My 6-digit date number is 4,
the number of depth and stability.
My horoscopes: “There's a spark
about to ignite inside you. Pay close attention to your emotions and take care
of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Infuse your plans with
passion. Breathe life into your dreams and act with confidence. The inner and
outer aspects of your being are working in harmony.”
And: “Don't believe everything
you hear. Chances are much of it is misinformation. Physically, you're probably
feeling better and stronger than you have for a long time. However, today you
might be experiencing the fallout from many stressful weeks on the job. Office
politics might have drained you even more than they usually do. This is a great
day to get out with some friends and see a movie - preferably a thriller or a
romantic comedy.”
My Shadowscapes Insight is
regarding the Four of Swords. The
Shadowscapes Four of Swords reminds us to rest and recover by setting up a
secure and serene nest so we can pause and recharge our battery. This is not a permanent rest, for the
challenges will return. However,
we will be better able to focus on those challenges if we clear our heads.
