King of Swords

This card shows us a king with a sword in the right hand.  He appears to be studying or have focus on what's ahead of him.  He's even keeled, not easily excitable, patient, he's carefully watching how things will work out.  He has the power to make things happen when it's necessary.

So today, be patient with the situations you find yourself in, or with your relationships.  There may be things that are unclear that would cause you to want to out of fear and change course, or stop completely; but if you are patient you might find that the unconventional direction of the situation might just bring a pleasant surprise and be a bigger blessing than you envisioned.

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.

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.

10 of Wands, reversed

The 10 of Wands shows us a person carrying a big load - he's determined and is focused on moving the load to the proper place.  The reverse of this card could mean lack of focus or determination.

You may have found yourself in a place where things are easier now because of new opportunity - but because things are easier now this isn't a time to become at ease.  Now, more than ever, you need that same focus, drive, and determination that brought you to this point.  The obstacles are there, you may not have found them yet.  This might be a good time to consult with a more experienced person to find out what obstacles or cycles might lie ahead.
