Seven of Wands, Reversed

The Seven of Wands, reversed, let's us know that the struggle is ending or subsiding.  However, this is not a time to back off  or become lax in your focus.  See the situation through.

The Moon, Reversed

The Moon, reversed, lets us know that the two sides of our brain are at war - the reality and the imagined.  Take time and slow down and consider all sides of the situation, you may find, like the lobster coming from the deep, that a solution or that the battle for the mindis not as great as imagined. .

Page of Swords

The Page of Swords shows us that we need to prepare for future events so that we can face challenges head on.  In this card the Page is facing a strong headwind, sometimes our challenges and situations feel like headwinds - we need to stand up to them but we also need to be practical as well.  In this card the birds in sort of a halo position represent higher or sophisticated thought -  and also notice the birds seem to be higher than the clouds, which represent uncertainty.  Our thought process must able to see all sides of an issue rather than being reactionary and further escalating an issue or situation.

King of Cups

The King of Cups reminds us that when we find ourselves in rough waters or an emotional situation, we need to remain calm.  Certainly focus on what is immediately in front of you - people or decisions, but also look ahead.  Don't make rash decisions based on emotion - look at the entire situation and determine what is best for you.  Use your intuition, consult with others if necessary - realize how things are but also envision how things could be. Remain calm, the storm is only for a short season.

Queen of Wands

The Queen of Wands reminds us to be aware, watchful, think, and consider all of the sides of a situation before acting or making a decision.  Remember to give leniency where it is due but also judge fairly when judgement is required.  The control of the situation lies with you - even if you can't control the outcome, you can control how you react to it.

Queen of Cups, Reversed

When the Queen of Cups is in the reversed position, we should recognize that intuition, insight, faith, hope could be blocked or limited on some level. Consider stepping away from the situation and meditate - be honest with yourself, perhaps you might discover that what you are doing or not doing is causing you not to see the full picture or perhaps there's a bit of denial about the reality of the situation.  Then take corrective action and move forward in a positive manner.
