Riding into Battle

The moon is waxing in Taurus in its first quarter at 67.5%. There is no void moon today. Mars is still in retrograde.

I overindulged last night and could not get up this morning. Once I did, it was go-go-go until about an hour ago. Ugh. I know that it’s going to be different in the future because I’m going to be practicing temperance. I need to be more present for my sister if she’s to do well.

I don’t remember my dreams last night. I think it was because I drank too much last night. I had a lot of tossing and turning, and I was almost late for a meeting that ended up being canceled at the last minute. 

Today’s Card Pull

The Swords suit represents rationality and cutting through illusion. The suit generally indicates a need to find a clear path or communicate better and, at times, a need for decisive action. Swords mean action, be it constructive or destructive, and typically, the suit brings a sense of force or conflict.

The card depicts a young knight charging into a fight astride a white horse. The Knight is fully suited and brandishing a sword high in the air, indicating a need for a battle victory. The Knight isn’t paying much attention to the surroundings and is focused on riding into action. The Knight rides against the wind, as seen in the trees in the background and in the feathers on the helmet as they fly away. 

The Knight of Swords is often irritable, brash, and hostile. In the Swords suit, the Knight is out for blood, looking for someone to blame for perceived slights. They jump to conclusions, seek out a fight where there is no conflict, and act rashly without forethought or care for consequences. 

Oof.

Today, I did feel this. I felt like I pushed for purchases and professional relationships that may be ill-fitting. I’m also forcing myself to record a podcast tonight, and I’m simply not ready. I jumped into the deep end without forethought today, and I feel like I need a life preserver. I’m not getting as much accomplished on a daily basis, and I need to rethink my strategies. It’s wild being in the beginning stages of a startup, and I’m trying my damnedest to keep up. Wish me luck.
