Apparently we’re under the impression, collectively, that
we’ve had enough of The Strength card.
We’ve taken a stand, made wild and wonderful decisions, and now it’s time to
move on.
Move on to what exactly? Ah, the 7 of Swords. Hmmm. There’s a rather delicate balance going on
here between cockiness and humility; and abundance and fear of lack. How do we
maintain the certainty of our gut instincts without getting too caught up in
the comments of the worldwide adjudicators (i.e. anyone in our midst who is watching
us and isn’t entirely convinced that we know what the hell we’re doing)?
Do we get overly audacious and I-told-you-so or do we start
to fear that perhaps the adjudicators are correct, and we should take our
rightful places in the doghouse? Or do we
take the balanced approach and just drink a cup of herbal tea and feel that
warm tug on our hearts, pulling us in the direction of our most exciting
ideals.
The 9 of Pentacles
thinks it would be a great idea if we would just hang on a bit and see how the
month unfolds, and notice all the hidden bounties of abundance that keep
bumping into our heads whenever we stop worrying about the unknown. The 9
of Pentacles loves nothing more than to
assure us we’re on track and that we’re right to trust that snuggly feeling
inside.
And once we’ve stopped listening to the naysayers (including
ourselves) we can have one more fumbling with the 5 of Cups (“oh… I dunno…isn’t all this change going to be
kinda painful?”) before we connect with Temperance around the 14th/15th August.
Phew. Sometimes it’s a bit of a struggle to reach the wise and mysterious Temperance, but she’s always worth it.
For in her company, no matter how many fears arise
about…well, anything really… they pale
in comparison to the growing strength of our intuition. Whilst she could shape
our lives to look somewhat like The Beatles’ “Yellow Submarine” video clip for
a couple of weeks, she keeps us curious about the intricacies of life.
Here also, under her guidance, we can start to love the feel
of following our dreams so much that we could become unstoppable forces for the
good of all beings!
All we’ve got waiting for us as the month draws to a close
is the Death card. Oh. *Sigh*. No, no
it’s good… really! The Death
archetype means we’re really going to do all this wonderful growth that we’ve
been crapping on about for so long. Even if we tried to hide under a rock, Death would seek us out and deliver the best and most
vital solutions we can choose for ourselves. So what are we waiting for?
