And… in the Swan Club Lounge area I pulled the Cygnus card. 6 of Swords. And a card for each person sitting with me: Ursa Minor, Ace of Cups; Queen of Swords, Fixed Air; Eridanus, 5 of pentacles; Cetus, 2 of Wands; and another card on the Queen of swords as she came up reversed…Sagitta, Ace of Pentacles. All suits were represented, all elements. The cards spoke of new beginnings initiations, focused intentions, coming into sovereignty with communications, overcoming our shadows, responsibility to soul purposes through repair of self-esteem (a warning to realign with wise management of resources), nurturing intuition, and protection through wisely enforced boundaries. As I continue on a path of study in the Hermetic traditions the Swan speaks to me. A friend once called herself an afternoon Swan, and I have adopted the term, and am embracing my night owl nature. Swans are sacred to Venus and this card is also associated with the last decan of Aquarius. I’ve noticed a theme of connecting and being drawn to Aquarian sun sign people the last couple years as we are in this time of transition between the Pisces and Aquarian aeons. In the alchemical tradition the swan is a symbol of fast footed Mercury aka Hermes. “The convergence of these symbolic combinations suggest the union of minds, the resolution of conflict, or the ease of mental tension. Like a swan gliding across a lake, the card augurs a more harmonious journey across troubled waters.” #celestialtarot #swanlounge #fishbone #sbcast #ariadnespassion #manymoons (at SBCAST) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWMba6YPZBN/?utm_medium=tumblr
