Start Today with Guidance and a Glimpse of Possibilities

Let go of that which does not serve you, is the message of the Death card. This is not a card that represents literal death but, rather, the death of old ways of being and the opportunity for rebirth that this brings with it. Of the three figures depicted in the card that is before the armored skeleton, it is only the child that looks Death fully in the face, without fear - indeed bearing flowers as a gift for him. This indicates that it is our attitude towards change that must be overcome, to welcome it as a chance for redefining our lives.

The Ten Of Swords is the apex of pain and misery, and nothing can get worse from this point; you have hit rock bottom. This energy is a very heavy one you need to contend with; feelings of betrayal, loss, sadness, and grief are what you are dealing with right now. You may feel like a victim of someone else's wrongdoing or your self-sabotage. 

Authority and determination come to mind with the King Of Swords. This is a character who acts with clarity and confidence in his actions. He is often looked to for advice and leadership because he is known for his sound judgment and mediation skills. He has the ability to be a force of authority through inspiration and intelligence.

In the Three of Cups, we see three women captured in the moment of raising their Cups high in the air as they come together. They are surrounded by an abundant harvest and the card radiates joy and celebration: specifically, shared happiness and experience.

Just as The High Priestess is one archetype of femininity, so The Empress is another: from mystery and the profoundly spiritual, we now move to the Mother Goddess figure. The Empress reclines comfortably on her throne, surrounded by the abundance of the natural world, her body language open and at ease. The water that was hidden in the previous card here flows freely, pooling at The Empress’ feet. Yet her connection to the fertile earth does not denote a lesser power than that of her sister; it is her great strength.

The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana; and yet he does not have a number. He is ‘0’, standing for both everything and nothing. The Fool is infinite possibilities; he is the decision to make a journey, to have an adventure, and to discover - even if that decision isn’t made consciously. The Fool is a special card, and careful attention should be paid to him whenever he pops up in a reading.
