Knight of Swords

The Knight of Swords shows a soldier dressed in battle armor riding a horse riding very fast and into a head wind.  His sword is drawn ready to fight and ready to attack.  His eyes are focused on the fight ahead, however the horse seems to be looking back at the rider as to question the decision to fight this particular battle.

Certainly there's nothing wrong with fighting for what is right and just or to protect that which is yours or what you have worked for.  Sometimes the question is does the fight require guns blazing?  Or does this fight require overwhelming force?

The birds circling above the riders head represent the "higher thinking" or Spiritual thinking.  Before adding up those past experiences as "facts" and rush to a quick decision to and pummel a person or a situation.  Stop and think for a moment, is the wrong that you have rationalized in your mind really something that requires you to take someone to task?  Perhaps to get the result you want may require no words at all, some times the unspoken is more powerful than the spoken.

Three of Wands

The Three of Wands shows us a person standing on a high place, perhaps a hill or mountain an looking towards a large body of water.  This person is envisioning the next stage of his life.  The two wands behind him represent the door way to the future, which he as stepped into.  The boats passing two and forth represent the thoughts and dreams he's thinking about.  The water represents the depth of thought or what is yet to be seen.

His passion and confidence about the future is represented by the red garment he is wearing.  The Wand in his hand represents direction, power, leadership.  The mountains in the distance represent the challenges that await him.  The green represents growth or the desire to grow, and the blue sleeve represents freedom or open spaces.

Today stop and contemplate where you are and where you could be going -dare to dream about doing something new an exciting.  Perhaps plan a vacation to someplace you've never been, consider a business venture that you've had in the back of your mind, or start a group to change your community.

Temperance

We see the archangel standing at the waters edge, one foot is on the bank while the other hoovers in the water. His wings provide balance between the two worlds.  At the waters edge we see there are plants, a path, hills, the sun, and sky - these are things are are known and familiar.  In the water, that is the unknown - the water appears calm but we don't know the depth of the water or the life that is in it.  This is a time when we need to discover the unknown and find the deeper meaning of a situation or discover something new about ourselves and perhaps move to a higher spiritual experience.  Listen to the Spirit and dare to be lead with your intuition because you just might find that new and wonder experience that you have been searching for - and perhaps even new relationships with others who share the same like mindedness as yourself.
