Today I have drawn two interesting cards (well aren't they all interesting!).
To avoid - Adjustment.
Now, Adjustment is my thing. I was born in the sign of Libra and I have lots of Libra energy in my chart. I am the very best and the very worst of this astrological personality. Adjusting I find important, I find it necessary to always seek balance and to have a logical thought process to balance my heart - to weigh up the pros and cons before moving forward a new path.
And this card is saying no - do not adjust your set, do not give way to the balance of the world around you. You are just fine the way you are.
To encourage - Queen of Swords
Oooh this is a woman I love and I hate.
She has focus and drive, she has the ability to see through the crap and to get to the point, She is Athena and she is like the Crone that cuts the wheat from the chaff at harvest time.
So tomorrow I am to encourage a bit of an intellectual head? To have a focus and pursue it. I am to cut away the bonds of the past, the old outwarn ideas that hold me back and rejoice in the freedom.
Hmmmm interesting.
But how will this be relevant tomorrow? Wait and see...
Update
One thing that has been in the back of my head last night and today is this -
Aren't Justice and the Queen of Swords the same cards in essence.
Justice is a card of 'Greater Justice' of the overall important lesson of balance, or rather in Crowley and in the Via's deck the idea of Adjustment. There is no constant in the Universe other than change and so to keep in the centre, to be Truth, means that you have to move. Nothing in life is absolute - not even the law is black and white because it is constantly evolving (although grated slowly). Even something like the Catholic church does change and evolve, although to make sure it is changing in the ways of God and not with fashion and the fads it takes change very slowly, with lots and lots of deliberation and time in between to reflect and pray with God for the Truth to be revealed. Yes ok this view point is very 'rose tinted' but you have to respect that it will not change due to pressure from the outside - it wants to change in line with God.
Anyways..... Adjustment is a greater process... it is about deep honest truth that is within, about Divine truth and how these ideals do change over time. It can seem impersonal though, it can seem harsh. There is no negotiation - you are weighed and you are sorted.
And yet, the Queen of Swords to me has always been on the outside the 'Justice' card of the courts.
She is detached, observant and she is patient and waits. She is Balanced between her head and her heart - and she, like Justice has the sword of truth and when necessary the sword to cut away that which is left wanting.
But there is a difference. The Queen of Swords is a person, a being, someone who can step back and look, who can be 'academic' and leave the emotions to one side, to wake up, smell the coffee and say what is really going on.
And I guess this is what I was asked to be today - not to be dealing with Truths or even Justice or trying to feel balanced - what I was being asked today was to be more Head than Heart or crazy paranoid and self-deprecating (for a change) and to step back and smell the coffee.
I also see this Queen as someone who can voice her thoughts to those who are ready to hear it, who are willing to hear it. Some might see this Queen as being the ultimate 'networker' although not always the one you want to talk to because she will tell you what she thinks.
On a very humorous note - I was considering to rejoin Slimming World tonight, but I didnt. And now I can see Maat looking at me from the cards saying DONT GET WEIGHED and the Queen of Swords nodding sagely going 'yeah, you are a bright woman, you have done it before, you know you need to eat better and exercise more, getting into the misery of a slimming group is just not a good idea right now. You only have 4 lbs to lose, slimming world is not effective for that'
And I also have peeled back a layer of a possible tarot related project.... due to hitting some tarot books tonight.
I love the Queen of Swords :D I need to embrace her energy more.
