We got two Major Arcana cards, The Hermit and The Fool, which indicate major themes going on. Those cards flank the Seven of Swords which, as I interpret it in this reading, signifies tact and discretion.
The Hermit is about wisdom, contemplation, and retreat. It requires a certain amount of solitude and discipline. It's about examining your life and reflecting on what your life is like right now, how your life got to be the way it is, what works for you and what doesn't work for you. It's about taking an inventory of the events in your life, putting them under a microscope and examining how it all unfolded.
Next we have the Seven of Swords. In some cases this card can be interpreted as deception or sneakiness. In this case I believe it relates to tact and discretion. It's about keeping what you learn to yourself and not telling your innermost thoughts or plans to just anyone. Sometimes if we have big plans and tell them to the wrong person those plans can be derailed and never get off the ground due to someone else's negativity or hidden agendas. Keep your contemplation private, at least for now.
The Fool (we also got The Fool in our reading last week) has reappeared so he is still tagging alongside us right now. The energy of us about to embark on a brand new journey is still in the air. The Fool is still urging us on to try something new, be bold and adventurous ... but be wary of his boundless optimism because sometimes it can lead him to make the wrong decisions. Rely on the wisdom of The Hermit to lead you to the next step.
Enjoy your week and see you on Friday for our You Pick the Card reading.
