It was an intense Esbat \u2013 easily the most magickal work I\u2019ve done solo since I left Lawrence, possibly the most ever.\u00a0 I should write about all that.\u00a0 But my mind has been turned to the future:<\/p>\n

HOUSE<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

CARD<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

GENERAL MEANING<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

INTERPERETATION<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

1st<\/sup> \u2013 Self, Viewpoint<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

the window through which you and the world view one another<\/font><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Princess of Swords<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

clarity & mental renewal; restlessness and quarrelsome behavior<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

conflict & clarification<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Princess of Swords is a fairly natural outlook for someone in school, and the quarrelsome angle totally fits me all day long.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

2nd<\/sup> \u2013 Finances, Income<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

communication, neighbors, short distance travel<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Prince of Wands<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

new momentum, initiative, and enthusiasm<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

readiness for action; taking risks; renewal<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

My financial aid doesn’t quite cover my housing, so a change in my financial situation is welcome news. It looks like I’ll need to go out on a limb to take advantage of this, but I’m prepared for that.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

3rd<\/sup> \u2013 Daily Experiences<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

immediate influences<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

6 Disks – \u201cSuccess\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

increase, gain, favorable synergy, welcome developments<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

encourages taking advantage of situations as they present themselves<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

It looks like life will continue to improve over the course of the month, so long as I don’t turn down opportunities as they come my way.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

4th<\/sup> \u2013 Home-place<\/font><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Queen of Swords being a very odd card for the 4th<\/sup> House, I asked for clarification \u2026 and was given the Four of Swords. I can only take this to mean that I must be discerning in the balance I achieve between rest and work, and in the battles I pick.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

5th<\/sup> \u2013 Fun \/ Pleasure<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

children, hobbies, lovers<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

VII the Chariot<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

thirst for adventure, boldness<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

new relationship, making a leap forward<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

I’m starting to get restless \u2013 even if I didn’t just know that, it’s there in the 1st<\/sup> House \u2013 and, fortunately, it looks like there’s going to be things to do and people to see (and very likely, hopefully, vice versa<\/i>).<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

6th<\/sup> \u2013 Work<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

illness, duty, routine<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

3 Swords \u2013 \u201cSorrow\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n

clr \u2013 9 C – \u201cHappiness\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

bad news, heartbreak<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

miscalculation, not passing an exam<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

bliss, meaningful experience, enjoyment of work<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

This clarification turned into more of a contradiction. I can only infer that, in my enjoyment of my studies and residence life, I may loose track of my priorities and fuck something up but good.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Or, maybe everything will go well except that no amount of scientific medicine or magical healing will clear up this sinus hell.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

7th<\/sup> \u2013 Partnership<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

associations, spouse<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

6 Cups – \u201cPleasure\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

reawakening spirits, emotional recovery, well-being<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

blossoming feeling; sensual pleasure; sexual fulfillment<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

This is interesting in the way that it agrees with the 5th<\/sup> House, which usually speaks more to short-term lovers, as opposed to the \u201cmarriage\u201d ideas associated with this House.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

This is doubly interesting in that I’m explicitly looking for \u2026 not \u201ccasual\u201d, because it’s never that for me, but certainly nonexclusive. <\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

8th<\/sup> \u2013 Taboo \/ Crisis<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

sex, death, taxes, loans<\/font><\/p>\n

rebirth and renewal<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

3 Disks – \u201cWorks\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

the process of transforming ideas to reality; slow progress and consolidation<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

encourages cementing that which has already been achieved<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

This seems to expand on the opportunities presented in the 2nd<\/sup> House. I need to keep my irons in the fire and work them slowly, but methodically.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

9th<\/sup> \u2013 Higher Perception<\/font><\/p>\n

journey, movement<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

IV the Emperor<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

willingness to take responsibility; security and leadership<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

structure, order, and realistic thinking<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Emperor is not a card I generally associate with anything spiritual, but it makes sense in light of the fact that I will be beginning my month of Malkuth-work in two days.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

10th<\/sup> \u2013 Recognition<\/font><\/p>\n

career, ambition, status <\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Queen of Cups<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

sensuality, devotion<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

spiritual tasks and artistic inspiration<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

I am going to be more recognized for my creative and magical works this moon. I should really send out some of my stories again.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

11th<\/sup> \u2013 Friendships<\/font><\/p>\n

groups, social activities<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

I the Magus<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

activity, resolution, will power, concentration, mastery<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

attraction, taking the first step, accepting oneself and others<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Returning again to themes seen in the 5th<\/sup> and 7th<\/sup> Houses, this will be a busy month for my social calendar.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

12th<\/sup> \u2013 Secrets & Fears<\/font><\/p>\n

hopes, ambitions<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

V the Heirophant<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

search for truth, experience of meaning, expansion of consciousness<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

search for meaning; self-examination<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Heirophant is a card I rarely associate with anything good, but I must keep in mind that Crowley’s Heirophant of the Age of Aquarius (Horus) is not the Pope of the Age of Pisces. This, too, may refer to my experiments in ceremonial magick. Or possibly to my desire to set myself up as an occult spiritual leader here on campus.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Prince of Cups is my card, so to see him at the center here is no surprise. That lies in the 5 of Swords \u2013 a card which seems to belie the otherwise overwhelmingly positive reading. Will I be betrayed this month? Forced to eat crow repeatedly? Will this be the manifestation of the \u201cSorrow\u201d seen in the 6th<\/sup> House?<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Princess of Swords & <\/font><\/p>\n

6 of Cups<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

I will be intellectual, cantankerous, and my usual self. They will be sensual and inexplicably drawn to me.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Queen of Swords to<\/font><\/p>\n

Queen of Cups<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

While the Queen of Swords makes little sense to me on her own in the 4th<\/sup> House, as a part of this pair she makes perfect sense. Evolving events will help me move from the hard, more distant, cerebral, and cold parts of my personality to the more fluid, more intuitive and intimate, warm expressions.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Prince of Swords<\/font><\/p>\n

VII the Chariot<\/font><\/p>\n

IV the Emperor<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The Prince of Swords cannot stand up to the combined might of the Emperor and the Chariot \u2013 two of the most fiery Trumps in the deck. I’m going places, and I’m going full-tilt-boogie. Passion will overrule intellect.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Although there is a Queen here, she is the Queen of Air. My Watery nature will, for this month at least, largely be dominated by the other elements.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
