Weekly Tarot Card – Queen of Swords

Facing to the right or the future in Tarot terms, this Queen sits on her throne adorned with angels and butterflies holding a sword upright in her right hand of action while extending her left hand in a soothing gesture of grace. Her relatively stern facial expression belies great mental clarity. She is nobody’s fool and can cut through a fiction as neatly as the double-edged sword she wields. Will she strike you dead or dub thee knight?

The sky for the most part is a clear blue with a bird winging through perhaps with a message for you. Puffs of clouds recede in the distance. Trees stand upright on fertile ground with a river running through. The mind sifts through cloudy thoughts to gain clarity.

Although we might fear this queen’s judgment we notice the butterflies and angels in her clothes, crown and throne and we realize that she is fundamentally a champion of transformation and wants the best for us.

This week you are to use your powers of discernment to seek out the truth in situations. See them for what they are and build a foundation of clarity so that you can grow along a positive path of evolution.

Weekly Tarot Card – Queen of Swords

This queen has very good posture. She sits upright in her throne with angel and butterfly carvings. Her cloak is blue with puffs of white clouds and her crown is of golden butterflies. Angels are messengers of divine wisdom and butterflies catalogue the metamorphosis of inspirational growth. She holds a sword upright in her right hand and extends her left hand in a gesture of grace. Judgement and mercy melded in her pronouncements. She is just in her assessment of our efforts and encourages us to use our thoughts wisely. Be fair, honest, good and true in all our endeavors and we will fly like the bird up above.

“What goes up must come down
Spinnin’ wheel got to go ’round
Talkin’ ’bout your troubles it’s a cryin’ sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin’ wheel spin…
 –“Spinning Wheel,” Blood Sweat & Tears

This week watch for any changes and disruptions to expected schedules. There will be some disappointments, some unexpected postponements and maybe some change of plans. The challenge is to go with the flow, remember that nothing stays the same, enjoy the good times because fortunes change and remember that bad times don’t last forever. There is always a silver lining…keep a positive mindset and go looking for the sun behind the clouds. Maybe now is a good time to observe how you deal with frustration and challenges? How do you behave when things do not go your way? Do you stomp around and curse the heavens? Do you give up and go in a corner and pout? Observe yourself and make a note of your pattern and then decide if maybe you’d like to make an adjustment. Winged creatures are around to help you. Some call them angels.
