So earlier this morning I came home from Matt's place. I was feeling so overjoyed just to be with him. I really love him and I love the way he makes me feel. I feel like I am on top of the world and that anything is possible. I was in such a good mood that I wanted that feeling to last, so I decided to to Tarot.
I just shuffled thinking about how my love for Matt was making me feel and I didn't think about anything but that really and I made four piles. I drew the four cards on top.
1) Knight of Swords
"Like the young Alexander the Great, the Knight of Swords charges forward, conquering everything in his path. He rides bravely into the storm, waving his sword, all bravado and courage, eager to overcome every obstacle. This card addresses the need for both a mental and a physical show of strength. It represents a brave and aggressive young man who is prepared to defend his beliefs.
When the Knight symbolizes a situation rather than an individual, expect a sudden whirlwind of social activity. This may include short trips out of town, gathering where ideas are exchanged, and a sudden, positive surge in your work.
It's time to stop talking about what you're going to do and just do it. Don't hesitate to express your opinion. You can win over any adversary with solid reasoning and logical arguments.
Spirituality: Your impatience works against you. Slow down, take time to process what's going on, listen to your heart, not your head.
Empowerment: Cultivate perfect faith that what you need will be provided before you need it. Be careful what you wish for" (105).
2) King of Swords
"This warrior/scholar/diplomat may be a policeman, lawyer, judge, doctor, writer, philosopher, general, or president. He represents law and order and the justice of the establishment. He cuts ruthlessly through what he perceives as unnecessary or illogical. He often has the last word in matters of life and death.
Due to his association with authority, this kind can symbolize the head of a company or a department. He provides wise counsel and although he rarely vacillates on important issues, he weighs everything carefully. The astrological element of this kind is air: Aquarius.
You're put on notice that it may be time to cut away from old ideas and beliefs that have outlived their purpose. However, be fair and logical when making decisions that affect other people. You may rely too much on your intellect; learn to listen to your intuition.
Spirituality: Your spiritual path begins on a mental level, through an intellectual curiosity about religion, philosophy, metaphysics. Read, study, research. Once you've found your intellectual niche, you become immersed emotionally in your path.
Empowerment: Your sharp intellect cuts to the heart of any matter" (92).
3) Two of Pentacles
"Think balance, adaptability, and equilibrium. You juggle a number of different projects and sources of income. This may entail working two jobs or handling full-time employment as you attend school. However, you don't feel overburdened because pleasure is inherent to your pursuits.
You strike a balance, but you do it with the cheer and enthusiasm of a juggler in a vaudeville act. There's a hidden magic in the way you maintain your equilibrium. You may be balancing a variety of projects or harmonizing inner spiritual development with outer material growth. Avoid spreading yourself too thin. If necessary, narrow your choices to maintain a balanced disposition.
Spirituality: By reading books with spiritual themes, you open yourself to new possibilities. You begin to accept the holistic view that mind, body, emotions, and spirit are intimately connected. What affects one, affects the other. You draw spiritual nourishment from the daily aspects of your life.
Empowerment: Your versatility is your greatest strength" (155).
4) Two of Swords
"You've reached the proverbial fork in the road and don't know which path to take. You keep procrastinating about your choice because there's something about the situation you refuse to see. A temporary truce or compromise may be in place, but the problem still exists. Sooner or later you must make a decision to end the stalemate.
You're immobilized by your own fear and it has brought you to an impasse. Ignoring your problem won't make it go away. The time has come to choose. By acting swiftly and decisively you can turn the situation to your advantage.
Spirituality: By practicing Tai Chi, you regain your mental balance and sense of inner peace. On a deeper level, meditation allows you to temporarily withdraw from your worldly concerns. Breathing exercises help put you into the proper frame of mind so that you can decide what you what to do next.
Empowerment: You've got a decision to make and once you've made it your life will resuem its forward momentum" (170).
So I make my own path. I have to decide that first and foremost. I choose to follow the path that I will create by listening to my intuition. And right now, I am crawling with anticipation and enthusiasm. I will relax and take time out to listen to my intuition because I will be in a better state of mind to begin my spiritual path, first on a mental plane.
The King of Swords, I feel, represents Saturn and it's influence this year. It is the influence of this card that let me cut right through to what I need to do.
Since I am starting this spiritual journey on a mental plane first, by reading and studying etc., my emotions will follow. It will match the emotion I feel when I think of Matt. This way, I become more balanced. Through this, everything will converge.
I have full faith in all I said because of the energy the Knight of Swords. I will charge forward and try to keep this passion burning by drawing on daily life. Every move I make will be one more step on this path I am seeking.
