The Past
Four of Swords
The 4 of Swords indicates coming to fruition or the manifestation of an idea, along with a foundation or 'space' where things can grow.
Also indicated is a preparation time. Grow YOUR diamond in YOUR rough times. Here. . .never hurry, never rest. Pace. Enhance your preparedness without locking your muscles into play. Direct a calm flow.
Reversed, the 4 of Swords indicates renewed activities, your batteries recharged, your metaphorical oil changed. Good opportunities are ahead, but use discretion in your dealings at present. Literally, hand yourself over to yourself as you say “take care.”
The Present
XXI – The World
The World indicates that you are right back where you started and the journey is complete. A complete cycle is indicated. Look to new dreams, bigger ones. See the world IN The World card! View up through the looking glass of the obelisk from its base as if you are inside the obelisk looking up. See the point of its top right in front of you. Visualise the vanishing point of the top as a portal to infinity. Step smoothly through the doorway of your next iteration remembering this one.
The World indicates a powerful completion! Indicates a powerful completion cycle in The Fool's journey, YOUR journey!
Enjoy this time as you seamlessly segue into the next.
The Future
Ace of Pentacles
The Ace of Pentacles card indicates power in your assets or seeds, your own value, and that you matter. You needn't perfect yourself to be liked or loved.
Nurturing and tending your own garden of purpose, you bring new life into the world. You do not need to perfect yourself to be loved.
Conditions are rife with possibilities. Strengthen your connection to explore your sexuality. Share tokens or symbols of love and affection. And don't be afraid to get your hands dirty, or to be messy. Have fun in this burgeoning new time.
* A manner of reading a reversal is to emphasise rather than a reversed meaning, an internal meaning relating more to one's inner self than indicating the outer world. Read the card with your inner context, what it says to you about your inner person.
