What should I know for today?
7 of Pentacles is assessment, reward, changing direction and in regards to The Emperor which is fathering, structure, authority, regulation.
So is this simply about my dad. The other day we had a challenge. He wanted to go somewhere but I decided not to go because I didn't think it was it right all together.
The argument came down to how he has been talking to me.
So maybe this is about focusing on the change of direction with the structure of our relationship. Which it has been feeling like. I've been charging ahead making the improvements I feel are right and dodging all the shots coming at me.
Strength, patience, compassion, soft control...well this is obvious too.. I'm lacking in this department and have definitely been practicing humbleness and patience. Compassion.. I've never been good at.. and soft control.. I wish I was more in control of my reactions.
I see this pull as saying I have the strength I'm just unaware of it. I do remember getting this Strength card in other pulls regarding what I'm unaware of.
The underlying card was the King of Cups which is wise, calm, caring, diplomatic, and tolerant... oh I wish I was more like these attributes.
So am I to notice Strength in the King of Cups? That is what I'm unaware of. Maybe I'm its saying I'm not giving my dad the recognition, I'm unaware of his strength, my strength, the whole worlds strength and then compassion.
Where should I focus my energies?
I didn't like seeing this card. I've already move around enough.
Six of Swords is feeling the blues, traveling, and recovery... how can you be travelling and recovering at the same time while feeling blue?
I have to read this for the recovery aspect because that's what I've been lacking lately.
The underlying card is the Six of Cups, good will, innocence, childhood. Hmm... recovery from childhood. Alot of the problems the household and I are dealing with stem from childhood. But that's kind of a reach...six of swords could mean "entering a new frame of mind." I see this as pair that says go back to your good will and innocence. I've been too hard lately.
PS: Yesterdays trip was all about my dad wanting to relive childhood so this is an interesting pull.
Another thing is I have been planning a trip myself. Also any significance to both of the cards being sixes?
Finally I asked, How did I handle yesterday?
King of wands I immediately think manipulation. I suppose yesterday was about controlling a situation. I didn't want to go on the trip after all and took the guilt of cancelling it. But let's see what it says... Kings of Wands is creative, inspiring, forceful, charismatic and bold.. yep definitely feel like yesterday I was full fire. Seeing this card immediately I said yup that's me but the rest of the cards show I need some humility.
Along with the King of Wands was the Ten of Cups which I've drawn before representing my family in another state. Seeing the Ten of Cups is a comforting final draw.
The Ten of Cups stands for joy, peace, and family. These are all the things I would like and strive towards so I better pay attention to the other cards. Okay back to focusing on assessing, being humble in strength, and entering a new mindset.
