We have every right to be feeling really good about ourselves. We’re learning how to make peace with ourselves more frequently (2 Cups), we’re growing in confidence of our own intuition (2 Wands) and we’re preparing ourselves for the 3 Wands. Taking a turn with the 3 Wands is bound to leave us feeling excited about what we have to share with the world.

What exciting little ideas full of possibility have we been swirling around in our brains (tossed between doubt and hope), awaiting the right time for them to be flung (or slipped) into the world with gay abandon?

The 2 and 3 Wands want to talk about expansion, and they love nothing more than a good hearty leap into our future to drag back into the present a sweet life that we are perfectly capable of maintaining right now.

We do still need a bit of help though. August was really strange, and it’s possible that we deliberately threw away some vital teachings during this time (“Why do I always have to be calm and amenable? Why don’t I just get angry?”).

So in comes the beloved High Priestess and her colleague the 9 of Wands, paving the way for the Page of Swords, to reacquaint us with a somewhat more beneficial and efficient way to get our lives running with satiny smoothness… More efficient than whatever it was we were trying to work with in August, anyway.

The High Priestess shows up regularly, hey?  Most months, in fact.  Being frequently reminded of our intuition is clearly vital for us right now.  Why?  Because we’re not enlightened, and there are millions of people living on this very planet who are terrorised daily by bombs, violence, racism, homophobia and misogyny.

We’ve got a long way to go, and the sooner we walk with our intuition, allowing a wider path for peace to flow through our lives, the better off we’ll all be.

The 9 of Wands gives us the much-needed stamina and patience that are required for any kind of High Priestess undertaking.  Following after these two is the Page of Swords, jumpstarting us into action, full of courage and hope that we’re not too late to save ourselves from our own bullshit.

The Star watches us from afar – as stars do – throwing us the blessings that we desperately need.  She knows we are strong, but she also knows that sometimes we despair at all the insanity we see and feel.  Let’s bow to her blessings so we can always stay true to the ways in which we make our own parts of the world more beautiful.
