X The Wheel of Fortune

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Astrological Correspondence: Jupiter

Keywords: unexpected change, good fortune, becoming master of one's own destiny 

Description: The Wheel of Fortune symbolises the ever changing cycle of life, wins and losses, ups and downs, unexpected luck, advancements and setbacks, success and failure - the duality of things. Representing a breakthrough, a fortunate set of circumstances, the energies of the turning wheel also suggest incalculability, chance, surprise, rapid change and fate ending problematic times, heralding good fortune, and stimulating development and growth. As one of the cards not showing a human figure at its centre, the Wheel of Fortune represents our uncovering of life's cycles and patterns, the discovery of our purpose in life, and the realisation that nothing is permanent, everything is always in flux.

Upright Associations: Destiny, unexpected fortune or effortless success. Advancement, progress and the resolution of problems. The beginning of a new cycle or phase.

In a negative situation the card can resemble failure, misfortune, gambling excess, and a turn for the worse.

Reversed Associations: Bad luck, a change for the worse, obstacles, rivalry, materialism. A change in luck and circumstances, fighting against change.

VIII of Swords

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: restrictions, entrapment.

Description: The Eight of Swords indicates a type of bondage. This bondage is likely to be verbal in nature as the person in question is not able to say what is on his or her mind. There seems to be a sense of entrapment where the person is not able to move because of prevailing circumstances that are the result of decisions made in the past. A run of bad luck, and so, much patient effort is needed to get out of this difficult situation. Help is available if you can forget pride and ask for it. Restrictions will gradually fade.

Upright Associations: Restricted action, indecision, temporary weakness. Jealousy of colleagues. Fear, self-restriction, being bound to expectations, isolation, inhibition. Playing the martyr.

Reversed Associations: Difficulties, an accident, an unexpected event, feelings of frustration, restrictions being lifted, moving on. Release, quarrels finding your voice.

XII The Hanged Man

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: stop, retreat, reflect (change point of view), observe, meditate

Description: The Hanged Man is an unsettling, mysterious card, because it symbolises the reversal of our life situations, all contradictions we face in ourselves and in life in general, paradox in action. Although the Hanged Man seems restricted and helpless, he looks calm and relaxed. 

In this position the card represents the rational mind being turned off, acceptance of a new situation, a unique point of view, reflection and serenity. Deeply thoughtful he seems to have reached a higher consciousness. By letting go and giving up, as painful as it may be, this symbolism suggests that we can overcome restrictions, find what we have been looking for, and ultimately become free, self-determined beings.

Upright Associations: Adaptability to change, reversal, transformation, pausing to reflect. Rebirth, readjustment, suspension. Sacrificing one thing to obtain another. Stepping back to leap.

In a negative setting the symbolism suggests manipulation, passivity, useless sacrifice, and apathy.

Reversed Associations: Crime and punishment, pain, selfishness, the sacrifice of success, surrender. A great contentment in life. Materialism, need for approval.

Card for today, 18th November 2021

 The II of Coins

Manufactured by Angel Playing Cards

Using Rider Waite's Keyword and Meanings

Keywords: financial control, duality, juggling money, possible short journeys, future nest eggs.

Description: The Two of Coins indicates that enough money to pay the bills will come just when needed. Tight control of finances is necessary to ensure debt is controlled.

Upright Associations: Imminent change, and the need and ability to maintain harmony while juggling with different aspects of the situation. Flexibility, fun, playfulness.

Reversed Associations: Superficial harmony, artificial happiness, letters. Over: burdened, worked, playfulness. Carefree, careless, immature, inflexible.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for November 2021

 

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for November 2021

Jupiter and Pluto: Right at the beginning of the month, Mercury in Libra trines Jupiter in Aquarius (exact Nov 1) and squares Pluto in Capricorn (exact Nov 2). Pluto's position corresponds to that of its conjunction with Jupiter on April 5, 2020, the time of the first great Covid-19 wave and its corresponding restrictions on social life. Mercury's present contact with the two planets involved indicates a period of critical processing of what has gone before. With the November 4 Scorpio New Moon in opposition to Uranus in Taurus, uncomfortable questions are now surfacing that are hard to ignore.

Mercury: Mercury enters Scorpio on November 5, makes a conjunction with Mars on November 10 and squares Saturn in Aquarius on the same day. Then on November 11, Mars forms a square to Saturn as well. During these days, the mood could become quite spiteful. Then, when Mercury reaches the opposition to Uranus on November 13, new information and surprising findings could fuel a smoldering conflict. With the Sun square Jupiter and Venus square Chiron and Moon on the 15th, compromises will have to be made that are unlikely to satisfy everyone.

On November 17, Mars opposes Uranus and the Moon. Restlessness is now great, and someone could easily get very angry. Consider your actions carefully during these days and think of the possible consequences. There is also a lunar eclipse during the Taurus Full Moon on November 19, which gives great weight to all impulses and their effects during this period. So practice letting go and try to let things happen.

Sagittarius: The last third of the month is a bit more relaxed. The Sun enters Sagittarius on November 22, Mercury follows suit two days after. On November 29, the two are in exact conjunction, with Mars forming a trine to Neptune. The month ends with the Sun and Mercury trining Chiron in Aries. Any contractions and after-effects of the unsettled days of mid-month can now dissipate with enough attention.

Do we have to go through all this again?
