Tarot Musings: January 9, 2023 -- Ace of Swords, Reversed, and Knight of Cups

This reading for you, my followers: What two forces are working against each other this week?

The Ace of Swords is all about new beginnings, especially concerning actions — behaviors, events and activity.

If you have set a goal or resolved something for the new year, that is great. You have something new you are putting energy into. But, the card is reversed.

Regarding opposition or resistance, however, the Knight of Cups can be a rather romantic figure — the fanciful dreams or “rose-colored glasses” view you may have.

Think about that optimism for a moment. How realistic is that optimism?

An unrealistic assessment of the forces working against you — which could be huge or small — may prevent or slow down your achieving the desired outcome, goal or result. Those forces working against you may be external — people working against you, a lack of budget or other financial resources to support your goal.

Or, your own fear can be the resistance you come up against. Yes, your feelings, not your rational thoughts, can be what might stand in your way.

Be sure to carefully consider the potential obstacles, fears or forces that could harm, reduce or hurt your progress on something new that you’ve started.
