Day 18 of the August Healing Tarot Challenge: "What needs healing in my relationship with my father?" I drew the Ace of Swords. π‘ Aces are about new beginnings and the Swords represent the Air signs which rule logic, the mind, communication, learning, and healing. My father is kind of Asperger-y so communication is not his strong point and emotions are foreign to him. Everything he says and does is based in logic. Therefore anytime my mother or I cry he just sits there blankly. Even so he has reached out to me lately and whenever I call him back he says it was an accident and there must be something wrong with his phone. My father has a Jitterbug so if you don't know what that is, it's a cellphone for older people. It's a giant flip phone so there's no way he can butt dial. He has to look in his contacts to find my number. βοΈ This card is very symbolic of the eclipse as it forces change. The change can be uncomfortable but necessary. It means I have to call him back and force him to have a conversation if nothing else than to explain why I don't come around anymore. He's 88 and most likely doesn't understand. He may die soon so therefore there's a sense of urgency and that's what this card indicates. Just as the sword moves swiftly, so must I. π I don't want to but I know I need to. Ugh! But maybe he can learn something, even in his advanced age. I will keep you posted. #augusttarotchallenge #day18 #healing #aceofswords #airsign #newbeginnings #logic #mind #communication #learning #swiftmovement #actquickly
