I think sometimes people figure out what their birth cards and year cards are, and then kinda go...
like... you know the cards, and what they mean, and it kinda ends there. Not for me though! One thing that I do with them is to be constantly referring back to them in other readings. Like, this year, my Year Card is The Lovers. The mantra that I've chosen for that card is "I choose to see what connects us, instead of what separates us." It's my guiding lesson for the year, so when I pull a card, I'm looking to see how that card could be an extension of that lesson. So today, I pull the 3 of Swords.
It's from the Fairy Lights Tarot, so the imagery is a little different. Going off the imagery, it kind of becomes about illusions, people and things not being as they seem, almost a Moon energy really. Being the 3 of Swords, that brings a melancholic feel to that, a level of intentional deception. The fact that the true moon is the only one visible in the reflection on the water hints that, in your heart, you see the truth, even if you don't want to. The line "We almost had it all..." from the song It Matters To Me by Sans Seraph rolls through my mind as I look at this card.
All of this seems pretty at odds with my lesson of the Year in The Lovers, and really, most people pulling this as a pair would probably start predicting that you're getting dumped, but that's just not how I roll with tarot. So my Big Lesson is all about connection, especially when my initial reaction is to seek out how I'm different, but this card is about illusions, deceptions, disappointment. Not really how any of us want to see ourselves, and yet? Don't we all wear masks, show different aspects of ourselves, play the victim, say things we don't mean?
I know I do my best to be my authentic self, but sometimes the best that I can give in the moment isn't the best of me. I think this pairing is about extending empathy and grace to everyone who is maybe not showing up as their highest self, because I'm not always able to myself. There's a level of understanding that you can give to everyone, even when what you see from them doesn't align with what they are telling you. And that understanding doesn't mean you're excusing it - if you're being treated badly, by all means set some boundaries, but it becomes easier to not take it so personally when you know it's about them and their internal growth and the trauma that they may carry, and not so much about what you've done to make them treat you that way.
