Good morning!
We are entering a good time to clear the air and with the help of some emotional intelligence - it should be smooth sailing.
The crow looks into the cup as it overflows with water. In it, the bird sees its reflection in the soft warm loving light of the sun and as a result feels a deep connection with its surroundings as an energetic being.
Coming forward from the past is a strong understanding of your emotional self - the part of you that makes you tick internally - your fear triggers, your instant gratification impulses, etc. This self-awareness is a result of a past relationship - one that caused you to take a good look at yourself and your beliefs at the time. The ending of the relationship may have been painful -or it may not have been. The outcome of this situation, however, is that you discovered a good deal about your emotions. Being able to map the cause and effect of our feelings is a tremendous tool and although the situation is in the past - these tools are here to assist you today.
The crow is propelled into the sky by the sharp and forceful sword. The energy created by the sword's momentum is strong enough to break through any barriers - and allows the crow to sail swiftly up and through the clouds. It is from this vantage point the bird can see the landscape below, enabling it to chart the best path for a new opportunity.
At the heart of today's reading is the Ace of Swords bringing in a strong energy that will enable you to clear the air in order to see a situation as it is - truly. If things don't seem right or something doesn't add up - you will swiftly find answers as you are now able to effectively articulate your position and concerns. Supporting you in this effort is the loving and emotionally intelligent energy of the Ace of Cups. The Ace of Swords combined with the Ace of Cups helps you see your situation not only with a clear mind but also a whole heart and because of this instead of an adversarial energy - the situation will be infused with harmony and mutual respect.
The crow takes the risk and flies across the choppy water - it knows that on the other side is a place where a fresh beginning is waiting - one that offers the promise for a better and more calming life.
The Six of Swords comes through today with a peek of what the future may hold if you take advantage of the current energy created by the Ace of Swords combined with the Ace of Cups as now is the time to create a harmonious life.
Although the Ace of Swords will help you see a person or a situation more clearly - this energy is also supportive in regards to inconsistencies between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. For example, You may say " I want to travel the world." and spend countless hours looking at Expedia for far-off destinations - however if in your subconscious mind you believe that taking time off is something only lazy people who shirk their responsibilities do - well then you will never find a need to pack your bags.
The Ace of Cups carries within it the compassion and this extends inward as well -and when supported by the logical energy of the Ace of Swords you find clearing out blockages or disagreements between your subconscious and conscious minds is an easier task to undertake as things will come into focus with ease and situations become clear.
"The subconscious doesn't distinguish sarcasm and jokes. It just accepts what it hears. That's the power of words." ~ India Arie
