Good Tuesday morning my friends! As with all sword cards, this card represents the MIND. In the Tarot, the MIND is often the enemy. The Tarot puts more emphasis on feelings, and on intuition, spiritual impressions, and so forth. The mind is the ego, and it is where things go wrong. And today, we are being told, that the mind is going WAY WRONG. WAY WAY WAY. This is ruinous thinking. "You are allowing the mind to create chaos and destruction." Note that word DESTRUCTION. Bad stuff is happening because your mind is out of control. But..."The Mind is NOT THE ANSWER." (Of course it isn't, you knew that already didn't you?) Things are going to break down no matter what. Look at where you are not seeing the reality of the present situation.
This card is interesting, and scary for a lot of people. It is definitely one of the 'death' cards. But remember how we look all this stuff? The Tarot is a map of our universe, and is used by the Angels to GUIDE us in succeeding through life on our missions and journey. This is just one day. And today, we are being told about the possibility of problems coming up. This could be outside stuff, like the oil spill in the gulf, or something happening to us or someone we love or know. It could also be a problem we create in our own minds, that isn't really there.
The real point however is to take this information the angels gave us, and figure out what to do with it. Intuitively. It could be someone else with ruinous thoughts. It could be a political thing, or environmental thing. Whatever it is... how do we deal with it? Well the first clue is to NOT USE OUR MINDS. Don't over think it. Today, do some Yoga. Do some walking and breathing and NOT thinking. Feel your emotions fully today. Get out of your head. Get into your belly. Deep belly breathing.
Another thing to do would be to sit back and consider where are you out of touch with reality? We all get that way. You have to be willing to be wrong here, and examine yourself with your heart and intuition. Your Ego isn't going to help you here. Your ego is going to tell you things are fine and the only way out of this mess is with your BRAIN. Don't trust it. The Ego is LYING.
(Thank you Ego!)
Examine. Stop. Breath. Feel. Think about it, this is good advice EVERY DAY. Right? So use this card as a motivation to stop, breath, examine, feel, and get in touch with your wise wise soul.
