Two of
Wands/Three of Cups. The Two of Wands (Mars, action,
spontaneity, aggression, drive, in Aries, “I want,” action oriented,
pioneering, assertive, enthusiastic) tells of power, influence and authority,
and the implementation of the Will.
This is a card of action and ownership, personal power and
authority. The Three of Cups (Mercury,
reason, intelligence, orderliness, communication, in Cancer, “I feel,”
sensitive, tenacious, nurturing, moody) is about connections, emotional abundance,
and about blessings. Each of these
cards, interestingly enough, presents a version of authority. The big difference is that one presents
authority achieved in a solitary fashion, and the other presents authority
created by a group, a loving group.
These two ideas can certainly butt heads, but today they will work to
support each other. The group will
support individuality, and individuality will add strength to the group. Perfect balance!
My
Thoth cards are The Hermit reversed and the Ten of Wands (“Oppression”). The Hermit corresponds with Earth (cold/binds and dry/shapes,
and material, practical and stable energy that is slow to change), as well as
Virgo (“I serve,” practical, analytical, work and service oriented, orderly),
Yod (open hand, touch), and the Path between Tiphareth (the hub of the creation
process where energies harmonize and focus to illuminate and clarify) and
Chesed (the place where forms and structure are stabilized and nurtured), and is
about searching within for a deeper meaning, often through solitude bordering
on discomfort. The Hermit tells us
that in order to release the past and achieve something of value, the work must
be done internally, usually involving solitude to the point of discomfort, and
with an outward mantle of “business as usual.” Like The High Priestess, he deals with hidden or not obvious
knowledge, however The Hermit understands that his knowledge is insignificant
when compared to what he does not know.
He also acknowledges that the maintenance of his solitude requires will
power, and today that might not be an efficient use of energy. I certainly can take a short moment
alone, but my focus needs to be outward, and on the betterment of the group. The Ten of Wands (Saturn, discipline, responsibility, limitations
and resistance, in Sagittarius, “I seek,” philosophic, fun-loving, blundering) tells
of being taxed to some perceived limit, or of feeling as if we are out of gas
at the bottom of a hill. This card
can also tell of a passion that has taken a life of its own and gotten out of
control or taken over, and paired with the reversed Hermit, my Ten of Wands is
warning me that if I insist on solitude, I could end up in a downward spiral.
My
Legacy card is the Knight of Wands, flavored by the Nine of Wands reversed. Oh boy, another Wands card, this one
the poster boy for being out of control.
The Knight of Wands (cusp of Scorpio, “I
desire,” intense, controlling, deep, obsessive, and Sagittarius, “I seek,”
philosophic, fun-loving, blundering) usually represents a person of passion,
courage, enthusiasm and boundless energy; most definitely not background-type efforts. This Knight can be seen
to represent the coming and going of energy, but that process may not be
effective because things are not seen through to completion. Lots of intense energy hanging around
today, but it needs taming. My
Knight of Wands is being flavored by yet another Wands card, the reversed Nine of
Wands. . The Nine of Wands (Moon, feelings and
emotions, illusion, imagination, in Sagittarius, “I seek,” philosophic,
fun-loving, adventurous, blundering) in an upright position tells us that the
final challenge approaches, and we need to ready ourselves so we can guard our
assets. This card also tells of
the order and control that helps us to plan for possible challenges or
hostilities to come, the way a seasoned warrior would plan, and oh boy, look
out. We have a seasoned warrior
(the Knight of Wands), but it looks like in his enthusiasm he is missing the
fact that a bump in the road is rapidly approaching. Look out!.
My
6-digit date number is 4, the number of depth and stability.
My
horoscopes: “Ambitious much? Today, when you wake up with the Moon in
hardworking Virgo and your career corner, you're pumped and ready for anything.
You may not see yourself as a natural-born leader, but others do, so if all
heads turn to you for direction, follow your gut and lead the way! By late
afternoon, the Moon moseys on into Libra and your collaborative 11th house.
Unwind with friends and a night of karaoke or a picnic in the park.”
And: “Some
enlightening conversations could take place today with a partner, possibly
romantic, possibly career-related. New methods of operation could come to your
attention, possibly involving modern technology that could speed up the process
and increase your income. However, bear in mind that some of what you're
hearing about may not be feasible for a while, and other ideas may never be
practicable. Remember to remain objective and check out all the facts.”
