The card in the past is the Knight of Swords upright. Knights are about action and movement. And the suit of swords is about our mind, our thoughts, and communication. This suit also corresponds to the air sign people – Libra, Gemini, Aquarius. So there may be a new way of thinking about something in your life. Or a new way of talking about something. How you frame the context of the conversation. It could involve an air sign person as well. But not always.
The card in the present energy is the Ten of Pentacles upright. Financial security and stability. This is sometimes referred to as the “happy retirement” card. Because it reflects that state of finally reaching a place (with regard to your money) that you don’t have to worry any more. And the freedom that comes with financial security as well. Before you think, well, I’m not wealthy and I can’t retire until about 5 years after I die…maybe this card is suggesting that you start taking a closer look at your finances. Or maybe, things aren’t as “bad” as you think they are. Are you a billionaire? Maybe not. But do you have everything you really need. Which is a lot more than so many people.
The future card is Death reversed. This card isn’t about dying – it’s about transformation. Very significant transformation. And this card reversed suggests that that isn’t happening. There’s a block or delay to transformation. This can be speaking to any area of your life, too. But since it’s a major arcana card, it’s likely talking about a pretty important area. And it doesn’t mean change or transformation will never happen. It just means right now there’s some sort of block around this. So if there’s an area of your life that you’ve been hoping would transform…it may not happen as quickly or as soon as you’d like.
Astrologically speaking, we just had a New Moon in Aries on April 5. Aries is the sign that starts the zodiac (in western astrology) and it’s a fire sign. So anything Aries related means there’s a lot of energy involved. An ideal time to start something new or plant seeds you’d like to see grow and develop into something new. But the day you plant the seed is not the day you harvest the fruit. So give it some time.
Be open to what calls you…
