This week's mini tarot read, was tossed with a generously donated deck, "The Slavic Legends Tarot", and starts off with a bang! My Team is coming out hard with the saying, "they've awoken the sleeping bear"! Something or someone in your space has triggered your awakening big time! I'm hearing the word "blindside"! You have been shaken down to your very core this time. It is something that you can't ignore, not again, and not this time! This has caused a massive ripple effect throughout your whole being and forced you to move.
My team is using the phrase a "return to and regaining your innocence"! This has caused you to seriously re-evaluate a lot that has been happening and going on in your life recently. I specifically hearing "re-evaluating your loyalties". You have always been the "Knight of Cups", (which is why you don't see it out here), blinded by all the love in your heart, moving fast paced, driven by your emotions. Doing what you felt was right in the moment and never taking a second look at anything, almost naive and fool hearted. But they are saying that now you are seeing things more clearly! In this moment of movement, you are remembering you have always been your own hero, your own knight in shining armor coming to save the day.
This forward movement is actually a move back to self. A move utilizing the child-like self within you. There is no stopping you this time, you know what you want, and you aren't being deterred by anything or anyone. I'm hearing "no holds bar". This shift is utilizing all of you, in its entirety. You already have been the knight of cups, now you are using the other 3 knights together and moving as one. There isn't a single part of you that isn't game for this change! With the "Knight of Wands", "Knight of Coins", and the "Knight of Swords", you are finding Oneness within self to achieve a common goal, and all aspects of self will be needed to have victory here.
This fast forward balanced movement is causing a lot of conflict with those around you. Often with the people who "liked the old version of you", or "don't have you best interests in mind", either way trouble is brewing. You see the "5 of Swords" card out. It speaks all about conflicts and battles fought. The dragons on this card took me to the Hydra serpent/dragon that is referenced in the Hercules movie/ lore. Your Team is reminding you to stay focused and don't worry about cutting the heads off each one. They are saying much like the Hydra, once you cut one off, three grow in its place. This kind of escalating nonsensical conflict is merely a distraction to keep you stagnant and stuck within the conflict itself and never evolving or moving past it. Your team is urging you to look at the bigger battle as a whole, and not each individual opponent (or issue).
If you can successfully not take the bait of this nonsensical conflict and keep moving with what you know is right and true, then a whole brand-new beginning is before you. You will once again regain your seat/ place as the "King of Cups". You will be inundated with mental clarity, giving you a whole new perspective/ mental construct surrounding your past, present, and future. This is where you are truly meant to be. A mature emotional stable male of authority, not driven by his shadows, nor his ego, but truly balanced in all things. During this week, you are being asked to carry with you a piece of Rainbow Fluorite, raw is better, but tumbled is fine. This stone will help you to see and speak truth, but will reveal all you need to see, both within yourself and within your reality. It will help be a catalyst for your "change of heart" or should I say "return to your innocent heart".
