Back to the Shadowscapes Tarot
today. My cards are the King of
Swords reversed and the Page of Pentacles. Hmmm . . . Court Cards today.
The 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.
The Legacy King of Swords certainly looks regal and fearsome, like
someone who can proclaim his judgment for the best of all, without softness or
mercy. He can be seen as one
facet of the Justice card, and his kind of analysis based on experience and wisdom
may be useful today.
The Shadowscapes King of Swords
is seated on his throne, his mighty Sword held in his hands, point up. On the sword sits Owl, symbolizing the
wisdom to be found on the tip of the intellect that is his weapon; beside him
are two ravens, dark as shadow (and shadow can only be present when there is
illumination!). This King is a perfect blend of art, science and balance, and
he is a pillar of strength and morality.
The Page of
Pentacles (Aries, “I want,” assertive, action oriented, Taurus, “I have,”
sensual, cautious, stubborn, and Gemini, “I think,” curious, sociable, dual) is
down-to-earth and responsible, and a listener and a learner. The Page of
Pentacles in an upright position loves to learn new things and have new
experiences, and he loves to share the excitement created through experiencing
new things. Because my Page is
reversed, I might need to ground myself today and pay attention to the details
lest my enthusiasm distract me.
The
Shadowscapes Page sits on a sleeping dragon, accompanied by Owl (a common
thread between these two cards), and she holds the spark of opportunity in her
hand. Will she offer it to
me? Will I take it? Questions to be answered.
Despite the
fact that these two cards are symbolized by opposing elements (Air and Earth),
they both hold a common thread.
The intellect, the working of the mind, and the concept of the highest
good of all are all being offered today.
These are the intentions to infuse in everything I do, and these are the
goals, the aims to accomplish. I’m
ready!
Almost time for
me to leave on my trip to the Dominican Republic. Tomorrow will be a busy day, as I teach two Yoga classes and
work for The Hubs, but I will post again as soon as I can.
