trying to decipher my guidance reading for february. some message about this year's focus and all the changes i'm trying to implement. and how to go about it next.
it starts with an unorthodox seven of swords - it's almost as if someone's picking their way through a laser alarm grid sort of thing. ducking and leaning away from the swords, slowly making their way forward. inward? then the knight of coins, also unorthodox. he's arrived at a fruitful tree and is sounding a horn in celebration. the tree makes me think it's the prize at the center of the labyrinth of the swords. or the prize in the vault. and at the blow of the knight's horn - the tower falls. once the sense of abundance is found - grounded, rooted, nourishing and undeniable - the fake riches and illusions of our modern life fall away. only the king's palace falls in smoke and fire - in the foreground a humble abode rests calmly at the base of a hill, its inhabitant maybe even unaware of what's happening way behind it, in the Other world.
what is my tree? how do i find it? are the thoughts traps to avoid falling into, or the walls of the labyrinth that lead me inwards and therefore need to be explored? elementally, the earth of the knight is a great foundation for the fire of the tower. the air of the swords doesn't help build that strong foundation. which makes me think it's distractions. they're coming from every direction, asking me to analyze every angle. instead of engaging in the content of the thoughts, i should perhaps look deeper - what unites them, what are they trying to tell me?
except... i am unaware of any particular thoughts about this project. i'm simply observing how it's going, noting some vague ideas on what i'd like to work on next. are the swords the guidelines i set for myself? yes, leading me towards the center, but not really that important on their own? still not sure...
