The Future
I've been seeing temperance too Damn no I forgot the cup ace No I didn't get all four aces damn a 2 coins wand ace 6 sword wand Knight , reversed - lately I've seen the page of wands again and again, and then now I've seen this guy, the knight, once before this I believe eight wands, haste 7 coins, failure-reversed sword ace-reversed coins ace sword knight temperance- reversed I've seen temperance one other time lately too. Past to future isn't laid out in numerical order ... because the wheel is laid clockwise ... but I'm reading it that way anyway now. Past to future would be : #4 ( influence by #3 ), 1 (crossed/influence by #2), #6 ( influence by 5 ) . So it goes 4, 1 , 6. The Future Three aces has got to mean something. That's like, all the essential forces combined. So many go go cards too : Passage, haste, wand knight, sword knight - the sword knight is galloping at speed, the fastest knight. Change, a whirling, seasick card that flips us over. Two knights, the fastest knights, at war, one reversed, they are charging towards eachother in the spread. Between them - a young man juggling , the root power of fire hangs in the balance. The wand Knight looks primed to win this joust because of the eight of wands, eight bold bolts of flame, eight warriors racing across the land. And the knight of swords , beneath him the root power of swords is reversed. Defeated. This battle , with the juggling man in between, the man holds the scales, he is balancing this chaos : he is me , but he is the world. Assiah the battleground between the primeval titans of chaos and order. The laws of nature, the laws of man ... are an unsustainable paradox. In fall , winter, fire will ignite in the hearts of our people. Cold and bitterness will only serve to foster angst. Much hangs in the balance, and neither path can be said to be the truer way . After this battle ... Growth will surge. Like protecting a candle in a drafty room ... American Scientists and demagogues have tried to foster their projects in this tumult. But this next year, finally progress can begin again. But they will hoard the fruits of this harvest , and it will not lead to peace. That's when a disaster might occur , maybe in a coastal area or at sea. 2027, in early summer or late spring. But even though it looks like the roots of fire win ... their knight is reversed. This might indicate the discord that will be precipitated by the adjudication of this conflict. The root power of earth, deep in Assiah, is third party to these events and the ancient battle they represent but an aspect of. The enemy of the earth is not the sky ( the realm of wind and thunder , wands and swords ) but the sea. Weather the trials of the next year by the virtues of the hearth. A stable place to live, an income, a worldly wise person, will shelter us from the worst of it. Perhaps this indicates that the battle is between the dispossessed - the rich will stand indifferent to the increasing tragedies of the proles. Cling to the temperance , keep a balance, because there will not be balance aplenty in the scope of this spread. Also, this fall looks to be a good time to invest. This is because of #6 and the position of earth power in this spread. A person can benefit, and be the gold cup in Temperance. But to make a better world, we have to pour an even portion into the silver cup. After writing this I realize the meaning of multiple aces : elemental powers will hold sway in the matter.
