The Magician, reversed

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we are not in control, we're the follower rather than the leader or we're in a situation where we are limited and cannot use all of our abilities or strengths.  This may not be a sign of weakness, perhaps the Universe is saying, "now is not your time" - that doesn't mean to not be watchful of the situation because it could change and the Universe could tap you to step in an take command.

There are also some situations where you should not be in command because the Universe is trying to keep you out of harms way  and trying to lead would only bring frustration and disappointment.  This may be a time where you need to step back and perhaps learn something from others who are in command - it's easier to learn from others triumphs and tragedies.

Seven of Swords

The Seven of Swords shows a person leaving community.  In the background we see people gathered, an elder stands in the mist of people having a spirited conversation or exchange.  I see this as people questioning tradition, questioning the current state of a situation and possibly recalling the events that lead to the current situation.

The tents are symbolic of tradition, home, stability, yet portable to move.

The two swords stuck in the ground, to me, symbolize a door way - so our actor here, in my interpretation today, is leaving his home, he's leaving security, and is in search of exploring or experiencing something new.  The swords the person is carrying are symbolic of positive experiences he taking away with him.

The red hat and boots would mean that he's passionate about his decision, the long brown shirt would mean that he's thought about his decision, he's grounded, this was a decision not made in haste.  The white under shirt, close to his heart, is symbolic of pure motives while the blue pants would symbolize freedom and inspiration.  The yellow, which is the prominent color, would symbolize growth, opportunity, guidance.

One should follow their heart, their dreams, pursing something new.  Be brave and leave the status quo, you just might discover that you life is enriched with new experiences and friends.

The High Priestess, reversed

The truth is out in the open, nothing is hidden, there are no confusing signs, no shroud of mystery, no subtitles to interpret.  No need for intuition, signs from the Heaven, or interpretation from Oracles - everyone can see what has happened.  What's black is black and what is white is white - there is no gray area.

There would be a tendency to see this situation and pass judgement, condemnation, among other things.  Consider taking the high road and be a light and offer positive but corrective words and perhaps the situation will change.  Wrongs could be righted, a destructive situation could be come positive - seek the Spirit for guidance and direction, you might be surprised at the results.

King of Pentacles, reversed

The King of Pentacles, reversed, would indicate an incident or a series of incidents have caused things to turn from a prosperous situation to one of concern.  The vision was grand but the plan was more of a verbose sales pitch - the execution were poor, and some unexpected issues arose and caused further complication.  As things have devolved, there were decisions made in poor judgement, focus was on the plan rather than to obvious environmental changes.

While setbacks have occurred, all may not  be lost.  The situation may not be entirely lost.  More than a review of acumen is needed here, a review of commitment among the stakeholders is also needed and listening to their opinion - perhaps there's a plan or angle that has not been considered yet.
