Swords Court Cards and a Free Reading

Below is an offering of a free reading for the week ahead.

It focuses a lot on the power of the Swords Court, so I want to offer a short lesson in these cards as well.

The Swords Suit has the most intimidating images of all the minor arcana.

This is because it’s about the mind. The brain serves us best when it has focus and quiet listening behind it. 

As the mind amplifies in intensity, or increases up to ten in the minor arcana suit, it often brings fears, anxieties, and neurosis.

What I try to help my tarot students understand is that the Swords Court cards do not reflect this darkness. They are simply the Air sign personalities who are more intellectual, logical, and mentally centered.

Swords or Air people aim to understand through books and reason. They are often engineers, philosophers, and writers.

Swords people love sharing ideas and debating from a less emotional energy, albeit still passionate. They want facts to back up truths. They love learning.

If you relate to this, know that the best way to serve this aspect of yourself is through a mix of meditation practice and engaging with fascinating ideas and brilliant minds.

Activate your gifts this week by listening to a smart podcast or reading a book that makes your brain crinkle with new ideas. Add some videos on YouTube from Pema Chodron, Slavov Zizek, Alan Watts, or some TED talks. Look up words you hear that you don’t know (I tried to include a few 50 cent words in the reading to inspire you.)

Present Path Tarot

The Mystical Medley’s Deck is one of the few that offers a sacred Happy Squirrel Card. This derives from the Simpsons episode where Lisa sees a fortune teller. 

Obviously, this means that we get to create our own interpretation of it.

In this spread, I feel that it is asking us to get busy running about collecting acorns and planting them for the joy of future harvest. Even if we don’t know where we planted 70% of the seeds, trees will grow from those that will create harvest for our future generations.

The Ten of Pentacles is very much about abundance of inheritance and reaping benefit from our efforts. We may as well share our bounty with our framily.

This direction is tempered by the King of Swords, who knows how to be righteous in directing who gets how much of our ample gifts.

He knows who is worthy of our gifts, as well as where we don’t need to dedicate to a cause that might place our blessings on nonarable land. Be wise and firm and sensible in whom you bestow your benedictions to.

The Strength Card shows that, if we are wise in our energy expenditure above, we will have immense reserves to build the empires we desire.

The Queen of Swords reminds us that true wisdom is in knowing what your own personal strengths are, and are not. She is discerning and can extricate the hokum (i.e. cut through the BS).

Do what you are good at, and hire out for the skills you lack.

Use your most clearly rational self to determine where to share your energy and to whom you accord your abundance.
