V The Hierophant ‘Magus of the Eternal’ (Taurus/Venus) | Sage Tarot Discussion
The many faces, and confusion of the V The Hierophant Tarot card discussion. The colour red (number five and Mars), the keys front and centre (to knowledge), the two focused acolytes obediently kneeling at the Pope’s feet (hierarchy), and the gatekeeper Pope high above them upon his throne with his crown and most serious countenance, are noteworthy elements within this RWS deck image interpretation of the Major Arcana Tarot card of V The Hierophant.
XVI The Tower ‘Destructive Creation’ | Spiritual Sage Tarot Discussion
XVI The Tower ruled by both Aries and Scorpio, is a clear ‘course correction’ card and signals not being on your correct path. I see the Tower as being extremely merciful, showing the magnificence of God’s mercy by forcing us to “pull our heads in” and see Truth. The severity of XVI Tower’s effects within our lives, seems to directly correspond with each’s own level of self-awareness, and exactly how far from Truth we have strayed…. Fire being potentially devastatingly destructive (Mars), or can purify being wholly cleansing (Pluto), with lessons to be learnt either side of the primal powers…
V of Wands (Saturn in Leo) | Destructive Disturbance of Fire Fueled Jealousy
I’ve learnt with difficulty over time, I am unable to change others and should not try to do so, also it is not my responsibility to “Change the World”. For me to inspire positive change within this World, and individuals alike, the best method within my power is in my being a living example of the qualities of character I value most. In my gratitude, and practice of both kindness and respect in all areas of my daily life, I will consistently learn, thus change and grow, actively teaching within my own life living, whilst remaining connected to God/Source’s loving…
IV Swords ‘Truce’ Meditation and The Akashic Records
Would you invite a known burglar into your home? Would you then leave this thief unattended while within your home? So why then do we allow insidiously negative thoughts make themselves so comfortably-at-home within the most precious of earthly sanctuaries; the sanctuary of our very own minds? These intrusive thought nasty’s needlessly consume all our energy spreading further evil. leaving us exhausted and feeling powerless, robbing us of all joy and happiness we ALL rightfully should enjoy. The power to choose positivity is an authority within each one us. Choose wisely.
XIV Temperance (Sagittarius) ‘The Alchemy of Humanity’s Water & Wine’
XIV Temperance Major Arcana is a transformative alchemical card. Medieval alchemy was fundamentally concerned in transformation of the essence of things, usually from something base to something refined. The most obvious example is the attempt to turn lead into gold, but more broadly, alchemy can be understood as the attempt to purify and refine, not only with physical objects, but also esoterically and with the human soul itself. Spiritually then, the alchemy of XIV Temperance concerns the transformation of the soul in this manner, specifically about taking parts of the soul and concentrating them into something wholly refined and beautifully…
Page of Swords + IV Wands ‘Completion’
Phrases to consider with Page of Swords + IV Wands + Shadow: X Wands: “Excitedly speaking of intensely deep spiritual awakening” Page of Swords is aligned correctly (PoS + 4W + 10W = Earth+Air+Fire+Air+Earth+Fire these three cards at their most positive interpretations could create trinity of perfection, which is reinforced by our social and inclusive Focus Number three (3) here today), his clarity of thought, truth, and ideas are manifested with their purity intact.

VII Cups ‘Victory in Emotion’ Manifestation via Fantasy of Feelings
VII Cups is a very important card. The unique emotional power of fantasy found within Seven of Cups, when aligned in Truth with Source/God, I’ve deemed as one of the three essential ingredients to be harnessed in the alchemy of manifestation. Experiencing VII Cups feelings, and knowing the joy that will be yours again, once your fantasised hopes and earnest desires become realised materially in the physical realm is vital. The emotional intensity enjoyed via visualisations, imagination, and fantasy found in the 7C seems to be the much sought after missing ‘key” (being pre-imagined emotional fulfilment) which bridges the enormous…
V The Hierophant | Arbonne Make-up ‘Classes’ of Evil ~ Insomnia Rant | Sage Tarot Discussion

IV Cups ‘Luxury’ Shadowed: XVIII The Moon
I’ve often heard Four of Cups (4C) referred to as the ‘drinking’ card, associated with excessive partying, over indulgence, boredom and inebriation, but haven’t connected any of that previously with the RWS 4C lazy scene, where nothing much seems to be going on at all. The Four of Cups refusal of present day, and his current reality, that includes gifts laden with potential for growth and experiencing new states of being, implies that this figure is still back in the Three of Cups (3C) ‘party in full swing’ mode, and obstinately refusing to move at all.
