...tarot: ace of swords ...8.15.19... full moon...



...the full moon climaxes in an hour as it reveals its face in full in relation to its 28 day orbit around the earth... equaling a moon... or what i now refer to as a month... the month in completion... augiust 15th due date for several writing contests posted on poets and writers... an ace of swords...

...the ace card is often synonymous with the number one... being the first... my ace = my # 1 ... my first goto... the ace of swords... swords referring to power to the air element... in contrast to cups - the water element - in contrast to wands - the fire element.. and in contrast to pentacles or coins - the earth element...

...the wind element in ayurveda - vayu - air - dictates all movement -all motion... in yoga this is the second subtle body... behind the grossest body - the anamyakosha - the food body... the air body - pranamyakosha is in between gross and ethereal - as prana governs all movement but is also breath.. .the breath of life... rasa...

...all praise is due...

...this combination of being first.. the goto... the most reliable... with the element that is at once the most exciting and yet the most damaging... the most caustic allows for clarity for clear movement... for a path to channel the energetic rush towards...

...in the traditional tarot there is a hand emerging out of clouds... as if from another more celestial realm... the hand firmly grips an upright sword at the tip of which is a gold crown of a king... there are mountains in the b.g....

...the ace of swords is promising... showing the victory that is already present... the resolve of battle is shown before the battle... as if the space of triumph already exists and you have to know this before going into the battlefield... before climbing the steep mountins and cutting through the forest... you ahve to know that you willge there and that in knowing enjoy every step of the journey... embrace it... because it is in being fully in the journey that you win... that you get engage at your edge... fully present doesn't just mean smiling and nodding like you are in some other dimension but that you are fully engaged and Working.. in a space of Work... it is Work that keeps us in a state of flow... and as intellects have revealed... the Work leads to flow when you are fully engrossed in it... and this happens through stepping up you game... going a little harder... a little Higher...

...this full moon... Reach a little Higher... Knowing you will get there... Know the there you are getting to... and then put on your crown and get to Work....
