The Journey
I've been going through heavy transitions since 2005. The most life changing parts from 2009 until now. It has been in the last 6 months I've learned detachment is the only way to heal and move on. I've been in the middle of a legal separation since the beginning of the year and some days it is rough. The one card that popped up often was the "Six of Swords" the card of moving forward.
For me, I block what is overly emotional. When I try to read myself, it's like looking through opaque glass. The one thing I can count on is feeling my way through things. The number six is about problem solving, communication, the journey to transformation, balance and harmony. The six of swords in my deck, "Legacy of the Divine" is the most reassuring card. It took me a long time to really appreciate the deeper meaning of the card.
The picture shows a young woman standing at the bow of a boat looking forward. There is a hooded man behind her, steering the ship past seeming peril. The waters are smooth and calm. This is her journey, she isn't afraid of the things that may hurt her. She isn't anticipating what may come next. She is just present, living in the moment. More than anything I appreciated the fact she is never alone, even if the person is unidentifiable, someone has her back.
Sixes are in the middle so they are not a brand new energy, but they are also not fully matured energy. This is a journey of the mind and spirit. Trusting yourself to let go of things that no longer serve our highest good is one of the most challenging things in our life. Knowing when the right time to do so is also a challenge. I've learned to listen to my inner voice even when it sounds reckless and insane. And so far it has been the best thing I could ever do for myself. It's given me the drive and confidence to do things that I didn't know were possible. More than anything it has given me harmony where it was once missing.
