After all
the hectic events of the last couple of days we are getting back in our normal
routine and for this day I have drawn the King of Rods from the Anna K tarot.
This king is radiating fire and passion. Most of the picture is painted in
yellow, red and orange. He is walking with a confident pace and a clenched fist
which both are signs of his determination. Looking at his face I don’t think he
is angry. He is creative and resourceful and he inspires (expects) others to be so too (No
pressure J)
“I am not a tame man. Although I am a leader,
and bear responsibility well, my heart is forever free from the restraints of
guilt, shame or routine. I am the fire behind all new adventures. I thrive on
dynamic change. I live life to the fullest, and choose to pursue every
experience I can that will bring excitement and enrichment into my life. I live
by my convictions, and guard them with passion. I love grand gestures, dramatic
expression, artistic pursuits. I am a force to be reckoned with, and I command
respect from everyone.” (Leila Vey)
Well to
be honest, I am not a King of Rods person. He is too dominant in my opinion:
Fire times two.He is
too much of everything. I would be shattered by someone like him. Perhaps it is
significant that I don’t like the guy. What does it say about me? I used to be a
people pleaser; making everybody happy at my own expense. A lot has happened since
then and now I am in a place where most of the time I am brave enough to say :”No!”
. But I think beneath that strong voice there is still a lot of insecurity and fear: what if something happens and I will
fall back into those old behavior patterns?
Perhaps that
is what this king is representing for me: an over overconfident person who will
overstep my fragile boundaries. And of
course this King can also be a pressing situation
where I am obliged to give in for everybody’s sake. While writing this and thinking
it over I am not surprised I don’t like this king.
We need to hook him up with the court card I drew for the day (and am intimidated by). Maybe the fire and water would balance them a bit. :)
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your feelings after going through a hectic time; I'd much rather draw the Star or something!
Ha ha let's start a dating service for court cards:)
DeleteI prefer your queen over my king though
:) How can you not like this guy? He goes after what he wants. Well, yeah, he's not afraid to step on anyone to get there. I can see how he could be intimidating. I think the message is for you to take on a bit of his qualities. Perhaps that need to say 'no' is right around the corner and this is a reminder to stand up for what you need rather than what someone needs from you.
ReplyDelete"take on a bit of his qualities". Thank you, I think you are absolutely right. As I mentioned:it is often meaningful when you dislike a card. this says more about me than about this king :D
DeleteSo "No" it is or a big "Yes" to Myself! :D
