For today I've drawn the Five of Swords from the
Goddess tarot. Since we are now in the waning phase of the moon cycle, I've
asked what I needed to release during this period. So let’s look at what I've
got; The woman in the card is holding three of the five swords; one ready to
use in action. The other two have been laid down crossed on a large rock as a
symbol of truce. However she is still suspicious and is looking in the distance for
possible approaching enemies
This is a card
of distrust and feeling uncomfortable and insecure. Often we anticipate
quarrels and arguments and in doing so are fulfilling our own expectations. We
send out hostile vibes of suspicion and when our expectations are fulfilled, we
victoriously shout: I told you so!
This card
is also about setting boundaries and protecting yourself by being vigilant and
alert.
Somehow I get
the feeling it is telling me to let go of my suspicion and fear of possible arguments and
conflicts. This might just be what is
needed for a more peaceful environment. If I dare to let my guard down and
expect good intentions from others; if I dare to be more trustful, this will be
beneficial for our well being. We surely will feel more peaceful and loving towards
one and other. I know I have to set boundaries but they are not supposed to
shut everybody out. I have to find a balance between self-protection and reaching out.
So my affirmation
for the coming time will be: Today I will
protect my boundaries but I will keep the gate open and let people in.
