Six of
Cups/The Fool. Nice. The Six of Cups (Sun, the inner
core of a person or situation in Scorpio, “I desire,” intense, compulsive,
deep, obsessive) is a card of innocence, emotional balance and harmony, of
simple joy that begets even more simple joy by infecting all that is around us
at this moment. This card is about
friendship and play, teamwork, and drawing strength from shared experiences. The Fool corresponds with Air (hot/separates and
wet/adapts, and challenges that tend to require the use of the intellect
to solve), Uranus (technology, science, radical change), Aleph (the head,
youthful learning) and the Path between Chokmah (male in the electric sense,
dynamic energy and the origin of vital force and polarity) and Kether (the
source; limitless possibility).
The Fool is the spark that begins the idea, and he is the neutral powers
of creativity; he is above, beyond and before the world and all its
extremes. He tells us to keep an
open mind, and he learns through play, which makes him a perfect companion to
the Six of Cups!
My
Thoth cards are the Seven of Swords (“Futility”) reversed, and The Devil. The
Seven of Swords (Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination, in
Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, cause-oriented, the group, aloofness) in an
upright position tells of the effort to maintain things as we want them, often
through the use of deception and without considering the wants or needs of
others. This card can also be
referring to the effort necessary to maintain things, or lack of effort thereof.
Because it is reversed, keeping
things as they are won’t be effective for me today. Swords cards are connected to the element of Air, and thus
this reversed Seven of Swords is validating the message of The Fool above. 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 represents primal knowledge, and inevitably the
presence of primal knowledge creates a sort of tension between it and the
civilized mind because that primal knowledge instinctively strives to dominate.
My
Legacy card is the Page of Swords reversed, flavored by the Eight of Wands
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 encourages
us to use our mind and intellect to analyze our situations as well as our
emotions and feelings. Apparently,
analysis and the working of the intellect will not be my strong points today,
and I may end up being too critical of myself. My reversed Page of Swords is being flavored by another
reversed card, the reversed Eight of Wands. The
Eight of Wands (Mercury,
reason, intelligence, education, skill, communication, in Sagittarius, “I
seek,” philosophic, fun-loving, adventurous, blundering) is a card of action,
of quick developments, and of pulling it all together so things can be
completed. The energies of this
card when upright are fast and strong, and while the dust will surely fly, the
end result will be balance. This
one is kind of a Minor Arcana version of The Wheel, and since it is reversed, things
won’t be happening. Looks like
that fresh breeze my Page needs in order to activate his intellect won’t be
around today.
My
6-digit date number is 9, the number that tells of the completeness of
manifestation or effect.
My
horoscopes: “Today's celestial configuration will be favorable to
changes in your relationships, Sagittarius. Your professional and private lives
will be influenced by how well you deal with these relationships. You may have
decided that in one way or another your behavior needs to change. Now it's time
for you to act. Don't be discouraged if it takes a while to see lasting
improvement.”
And: “You
have a great deal of physical energy to work with. At times you may feel as if
you have an endless wellspring of power that is ready to get up and get moving.
At the same time, however, you are at a very climactic point in your yearly
cycle when things are coming to a dramatic apex. Difficulties that pertain to
this yearly climax are likely to make you act out in a rather violent,
aggressive manner if things don't go your way. Find a constructive outlet for
all of this physical energy.”
Interesting
thoughts by Mooji, and I’m paraphrasing here, not quoting. At times, we have questions that don’t
seem to have answers. Sometimes
questions come, and we should not be afraid of those questions. The cool thing is that allowing those
questions to be asked brings contemplation. Contemplation is not a bad thing either, and it might be
useful to just allow the mind to do its thing, to allow it to wander without
purpose. Our eyes and our senses
are open from when we awaken in the morning until we fall asleep at night, but our
brains don’t perceive or notice everything our eyes see. Our brains can’t perceive everything
our eyes see, because the brain would be overwhelmed. And just because we are
awake does not mean the mind is “shopping through the senses to bring home some
information.” Whatever event or thing that gets noticed is noticed because the
brain determined that it was important, that it was real.
“I am not reaching for answers, I am simply
inviting you to allow space for these questions that will reveal through direct
experience That which words alone cannot. Turbulence may come. Resistance,
doubt and fear from the mind. Fear of losing your fixed boundaries, the fear of
transformation. But all these are also phenomenal and momentary. The mind has a
dilemma. It is afraid of change, deeper change, yet the mind is attracted to
life, which is change. Don't be
mixed up in all that business. You merely observe, casually, passively and keep
your attention inside your Heart.” ~ Mooji
