Two of
Swords reversed/Six of Wands reversed. The Two of Swords (Moon, feelings and emotions, illusion, imagination, in
Libra, “We are,” partnerships, balance, cooperation) in an upright position represents a time of not looking or of
shutting out the world. A bit of
disconnect from the world can be helpful, but not today. Today I should instead strive to
connect with others, maybe enjoy some intellectually stimulating conversations
with like minded (or not like-minded) individuals, rather than clamming up. The Six of
Wands (Jupiter, expansiveness and growth, justice, fortune, in Leo, “I am,”
passionate, dramatic, noble, authoritative) in an upright position expresses
the celebration we feel when we have passed some test or successfully met a
challenge. Since my card is reversed, I could experience some sense of not
succeeding, or maybe of not receiving the recognition I feel I deserve. Looks like my first intention will be
to shut out the world, but that cannot be allowed to happen for more than a moment
or two.
My
Thoth cards are the Prince of Cups reversed and The Star reversed. The Prince/Knight of Cups (cusp of Aquarius, “I
know,” friendships, the group, cause-oriented, and Pisces, “I believe,”
feelings, duality, suffering, soul growth) is about feeling things strongly and
without restraint or grounding. This
Prince appears calm to others, but inwardly he feels things strongly. This
makes sense when you consider that within the Thoth Tarot, he represents Air of
Water. The message here is that I
tend to respond deeply to life’s events, but today those emotional responses
might tend toward melancholy or depression. Today is my 60th Solar Return, so that could be
likely. Age is just a number! The Star (Air, hot/separates and
wet/adapts; Aquarius, “I know,” friendships, cause-oriented, the group,
aloofness; Tzaddi,
fishhook; the Path between
Malkuth, the physical world of action and outer, physical reality, and Netzach,
the stimulating factors of emotion and inspiration) is the “good will to all”
card, and while it can hint at some unexpected darkness, it also reminds us
that things will turn out okay in the end. The Star reminds us to have faith, for while it may seem to
be the darkest night, the dawn is just beyond the horizon, and it is in the
dark sky that Stars can really shine.
Even though my reversed Star hints at some disappoiontments (probably
emotional ones, with that reversed Prince of Cups), I should not let them weigh
me down for more than a moment or two.
My
Legacy card is the Ten of Swords, flavored by The Fool. The Ten of Swords (the Sun, the inner core
of a person or situation, in Gemini, “I think,” curious, sociable, dual,
talkative) in an upright position tells of the perception that interference,
powerlessness and restriction will rule the day. The futility, interference, and mental agony of the previous
cards have manifested as a total breakdown of the thinkig process. The
traditional image on this one is of a body laying on its stomach, with ten
Swords sticking up out of his back, a perfect example of overkill! I need to remember that circumstances
may not be under my control, but my reactions to them are under my
control. My Ten of Swords, a card
of self-pity and capitulation, is being flavored by the most fertile of the
Majors, The Fool. 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 the neutral powers of creativity; he is
above, beyond and before the world and all its extremes. He is also the archetype of the Holy
Child, above, beyond and before petty squabbles, evil intent, and pessimistic
expectations, and if I can look to The Fool for solutions, I won’t linger long
in the darkness of despair.
My
6-digit date number is 11 (Archangel Uriel), which reduces further to 2, the
number of balance, polarity, and the energy of “distance between.”
My
horoscopes: “Look who's money-minded! With the Moon in Capricorn moving
through your security-focused second house, practical matters come to the fore.
Prioritize your day, first tackling the project that will yield the most
tangible (and possibly lucrative) results. Today, you'll get ahead not because
you know so-and-so, but because you're placing extra value on your bottom line.
Check out your bank account and budget. Is it time to nix your daily, pricey
mocha cafe latte? Small tweaks to your routine can have big effect down the
line. Buckle down, Sagittarius.”
And: “If
you have been stamping the ground with impatience, waiting for the moment to
jump into new adventures with renewed vigor after your meditation during the
last few months, know that the moment has almost arrived! You now have the
strategy, objective and means at your disposal to succeed. Just a bit more work
remains to be done. Gather your strength and get ready for action!”
