Double prime numbers, two cards for today’s post!.. and we are close to the end of November.. where has time gone?
Feels surreal that we have reached the end of this year with little to say for it other than ‘I have tried my best’ and with the Super Blood New Moon to full moon.. ‘I am ready for magic!’.
Its been a tough time for everyone or at least most people on this planet.. so many we have lost and more variants about in the pandemic really has made me reminisce on what I have and how lucky I am to be well and healthy.
I think reaching December nearly has made me feel quite like things need to change for a fresh new year and today’s cards felt like they wanted to be together but also felt non/related so take what resonates and chuck away the rest.
I‘ve used one of my absolutely favourite decks with unique artwork.. 81 tarot artists created a card each.. here’s two from this deck. There are 3 extra cards to this tarot deck but all 78 usual cards are included!
For those of you who aren’t aware, I don’t read the book meanings anymore to the cards.. each deck as a unique way of describing the symbolisms of the card. This book will give you some information on the artist and what they felt has brought on the imagery they’ve chosen to crate the card with. I leave it to your discernment as to what resonates with you!
.. so If you’re ready.. read on!
Seven of Swords
The depiction in this deck is a sly fox, apt as far as craftiness is represented, holding onto 5 swords they have just stolen leaving only 2 behind at the camp. The area is a desert and the people in the background wave to stop but it is too late.
Interestingly this card was the first out the shuffle and it was faced down. It’s usually a card of lies and deceit, being underhand and keeping secrets.. but when it’s reversed it means that someone in your life is coming out of a situation like that but also could be a person coming out of all that negative behaviour.
I’d like to point out that this card had to flip all the way around to land out reversed as all my cards are upright but out of the deck, there are but a handful of cards that you really don’t want upright.. this is one of them!
Swords are usually air signs, Gemini, Aquarius or Libra so if you or anyone around you fits the bill.. this may relate but it could resonate if someone is embodying this energy. Though with swords this may be an actual situation or it may be for the classic overthinker though the fact it was reversed down tells me that whichever it is.. it’ll be a surprise.. you are not expecting this or it is a sudden transformation!
On an external level.. It may be that this represents a person in your life now or in your past that has not done good by you and is finally coming in for an apology or to let you know that they are no longer that same person. If an apology comes in it will be a surprise to you because this person will be owning up to their mistake(s). This could also apply to you.. if so it is you who owes someone an apology and know that it’ll bring great peace to them.. this card is a green light letting you know it’s something you must do.
On an internal level, you/someone around you have held on to many issues in life or perhaps super negative thoughts. Perhaps you are the one who has been tormenting yourself, holding on to negative feelings and thoughts. These do you, not anyone around you, any good.
Release them to the universe and the past. You are a new person now, transformed, this card says that you are certainly able snd about to do that. Perhaps you find yourself in a situation where you just have finally surrendered to it all and embraced change!
If you are struggling to release negative thinking know that this card advises you to work on yourself in order to breathe in new life into your life. Know that you are worthy. Know that you are beautiful just as you are and know that many around you care and love you. Love yourself enough and more to enable you to live a more fulfilled life and remember.. we only have moments in a lifetime. Blink and you will have missed very moment wasted on negativity!
Either way, and whatever the situation around you.. there is positive change and outcome from this card! The universe’s got your back!
Ace of Swords
A beautiful yellow and orange glowing butterfly flies up to the cloudy sky, a beam of sunlight shines down through the crack in the clouds. A hand seems to be reaching up to the butterfly from below (kinda creepy if you ask me as well haha).
In the traditional deck this card is represented by a single sword, usually upright with a divine bodiless hand holding it up! Here the beam of sunlight represent the sword! The butterfly is always seen as metamorphosis, complete transformation and it’s being almost in fire tells me like a phoenix rising from the ashes sort of transformation.
Swords is all about truth! Speaking and thinking your truth! It is the initial point of honesty in any beginning journey. It is a beautiful card when you are expecting someone to speak their truth but also when you need to speak yours!
If you find yourself in a situation where you have had to hold your tongue or have not been able to be honest about a situation in your life.. well this card is telling you today to go for it! Whether truth is headed your way or you are speaking it, this card particularly with the butterfly, is telling me that it will be transformational. How you communicate.. how you think, your relationship with that other person or in a work situation or home situation.. whatever the case is for you, it will transform the energies involved to a brand new start in a new way of communicating with each other.. but certainly how you think.
This is a beautiful card.. I often finds it flips out for me when I need to speak my truth.. oh btw this one flipped out upright and faced up, just like truth, there is nothing hidden.. it is all transparent and honest!
Dont be afraid of standing up for yourself. It is not unkind to tell people when they have not done right by you as it is not unkind to make sure you are respected, as you respect others. The truth can be something simple from admitting to yourself that you have feelings for someone, that you've just had your mind blown by a piece of information that has changed how you see things.
Together
Seven of Swords reversed and Ace of Swords!
If I were to read these cards together I would say that there is a serious amount of owning up and truth coming up!!.. someone around you or perhaps you, will be speaking openly about things you have done or thought negatively of in the past. Swords move swiftly and in this case as the ace of swords popped second, it is the outcome.. and a mighty positive one at that!
It can also mean that all the turbulence you have had because of things that have happened to you, that you are finally releasing the swords of negative thought and embracing one swords; unified brain wave, made peace with the past and have a fresh new perspective and outcome ahead of you!
Know that wherever you have undergone, whether you or someone else in your life, there is an extremely positive transformation in how you communicate together or, if this combo is mostly about you.. in how you think.
It is a beginning burst of crisp clean start.. it completely changed how you feel and think and it makes this year seem like a thing left behind!
Start this week with a nee month in a crisp fresh way and forge the changes that you need ahead snd accept anyone coming in that will help you change that!
Love & Light☀️
