Creating Problems or Allowing Solutions?
Today the Nine of Swords invites us into awareness of our belief systems and programming. This card has been referred to as the never-ending nightmare. It symbolizes worry, anxiety and the inability to sleep. These feelings often signal that our brains are “chewing” on something and are not able to resolve it or let it go,
When this happens, it offers us an opportunity to discover what our beliefs really are. It is a clue signaling to us that we have something unresolved that wants to return to wholeness. It signals that we believe we may have made a mistake, are doing something wrong, feel a desire to control the outcome, or feel powerless, among other things.
Thus, instead of taking this card as a negative omen, it is an opportunity for us to observe where we are out of alignment and fragmented and bring ourselves back into greater wholeness. This card is shining a light on our fears and our beliefs asking us to take a deeper look.
Are you ready to explore? Are you willing to be radically honest with yourself, without judgment?
Are you feeling anxious or worried in any area of life?
Are you feeling a lack of trust?
Are you feeling unsafe? Even though we tend to project this feeling outward onto someone or something, when we feel unsafe, it is often because we (or parts of ourselves) do not trust us or are not being heard. Indeed, when we deny aspects of self or our feelings, these voices can become very loud in our minds to try to get our attention. And we will create all kinds of experiences in our lives to draw our attention to these areas through unconsciousness.
Significantly, the voice or voices in our head may not even be ours. They may be the voices of our parents or other authority figures in our lives. As such, the invitation to explore these voices is also the invitation to see the beliefs we have adopted/learned from others that we are now imposing on our lives. This card’s appearance is thus an invitation to reveal our self-judgments and self-imposed limitations.
This card’s appearance is a reminder Beloveds that you hold the keys to your own liberation within you. It is asking you to unconditionally accept yourselves, and to love every aspect of you. This is fundamental to claiming your sovereignty and is therefore an invitation out of the nightmares of the illusions you live within and into wholeness and empowerment.
Dearest Ones, you are seeing more and more of what you could not see before. And this leads to transformation. Your brains will not be able to make sense of this all and will not be able to bridge the shifts in dimensionality between the intellectual mind and the heart. The dissonance invites you into surrender and out of illusion, fear, and control through your heart’s knowingness.
This card’s appearance is a perfectly timed reminder as we approach your full moon in a few days time because the building energies support you in releasing all that is no longer serving you and stepping into greater wholeness of you.
You’ve got this!
And so it is!
