Knight of Swords – The Devil – Seven of Swords

Knight of Swords: It’s time for me to swoop in and save the day! This knight is ready to charge, with his horse reared back, teeth bared. Under the knight’s armour he is dressed in red and gold, empowered to take on any adversary. He stands outside the castle walls, which gives the appearance of defense, although a good offense is a great defense. My goal here is to make sure that I am doing everything I can to support my man, and defend him from any attacks. Possibly watching closely for signs of infection, and making sure he eats properly! Well, as much as you can after having your teeth pulled, anyway.

The Devil: This cartoonish figure creeps along in a menacing, yet happy stance. He has metallic wings, and his skin is all red, just as you would imagine an idealized devil would be. He walks on a meteor with volcanic openings spewing smoke. In this reading, it does suggest that I indulge him in his wants and needs, and not become cross with him even when his requests seem strange. He is the only one who will know what he can handle, and I need to be supportive.

Seven of Swords: This poor sword eater has seemingly failed a number of times. He has five swords laying about him, as he lays on the ground. His legs are in the air, and he has one sword balanced along his feet, tied to another he is trying to insert into his mouth. It does remind me of the dentist! This one suggests that while the goal is the elimination of tooth pain, it is going to take more pain to get there. A small sacrifice now leads to greater rewards in the future. When the going gets tough, both of us would do well to remember this fact.

Overall, it seems like everything should go as well as planned. Nothing too unexpected here, so we can continue on with our plans without much disruption. I will be his champion, and supporter throughout this difficult time. Wish us luck, as we’re heading out the door very shortly!

TJWriter wants to know:
Should I take the leap to pursue the career path my heart desires?

Without looking at the tarot, Miss Michele can answer this question: Yes. Always pursue your heart’s desires.

For greater insight into the situation, and awareness of some of the challenges TJWriter may face in trying to achieve her dreams, Miss Michele relied on the six-card, simplified Celtic Cross Spread.

A lot of cups in this reading reveals what the wording of the question also tells us: TJWriter relies on emotions.

Her experience to date is shown by the Five of Swords. TJWriter may have been subjected to humiliation, ridicule or deceit in the recent past. She emerged victorious, but did not feel good about the “win.” She was succesful but unfulfilled, so TJWriter began to dream about a different life path.

Putting the past behind her, she has found a support network in her family and friends, as exemplified by the Ten of Pentacles. The emphasis, however, is on major life transitions. A commitment to stay home with children or perhaps just spend more time with loved ones? Family figures prominently.

The near future shows a Major Arcana, the Empress. There’s a lot of emphasis on femininity, caregiving, and the realm of emotions in this reading. The Empress shows still more family commitment and may indicate a birth on the horizon. It also could indicate the start of a new business, especially if that business is related to caregiving or creativity. (The birth of a book?) TJWriter is moving from one stage to another.

TJWriter in the environment of the future is shown by the Ace of Cups. More new beginnings! Follow your heart wherever it leads, TJWriter. You are at your best and most successful when you are following your motherly instincts, your heart and emotions.

Once again, the card indicates pregnancy or birth of a new creative venture. Since you asked about a career path, Miss Michele is inclined to say that the “birth” is figurative only… a new book or other creative venture. This is more than just a new client, however… this is a long-term commitment that can change your life! However, Miss Michele would advise you not to ignore your nurturing side… whatever creative venture you attempt, you’ll find success AND fulfillment helping others!

Now is also a good time to remind TJWriter that the future is not set in stone… these cards show only the most probably outcome if you continue on the current path.

With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s move on to Card 5, the best outcome you can hope for. The Nine of Wands says that, once again, you will be in a position of having to defend yourself and your beliefs. You’ll be faced with one last obstacle before victory (and victory will come!) Don’t be afraid to demand what’s yours. Most importantly, don’t change your course of action; the end of the race is near and you will emerge the winner.

Finally, the Outcome, the Ten of Cups. There are few cards in the deck better than this one, which symbolizes joy and harmony, especially in the realm of family life. You’re going to have the success you want in your career, which will give you the opportunity to focus on your family. Good relationships–business and personal–are on the horizon.

What a positive reading, it makes Miss Michele feel all warm and fuzzy (oh, wait, that’s the cat…sigh)
