The creative fire in us when balanced works out well and usually doesn't need any attention.

Creative energy when flows freely, creates else its starts self-destructing from where it is to be released so that it can move places to get a fresh start and do things it needs to manifest.

You may be giving too much and getting too less then in return. When you feel this happening in your life there lie deeper problems with your self acceptance or self-doubt in decisions you make.

And when you don't treat the problem in the nip it will take a bigger wider form and then you willl find people treating you very very harshly cutting you away from your heart's desire.

We do this kind of behaviour with self because we don't know how to accept us when we do mistakes, we usually treat us stone heartedly as we are taught since childhood to feel guilty or not to be too self centered. But in life, we are the most important person and attention and care needs to be given to us too. We do mistakes but need to be forgiven.

The more you have pierced your heart, you will find people doing it to you at the same degree. Or if we take this card literally, it also points out "heart surgery" or any kind of physical damage/mending to the heart.

Two of Swords

The appearance of two of swords shows a lady sitting on a shore with eyes blindfolded, she holds two swords in her crossed hands. The background is again cold and insensitive.

Meaning-

The two of Swords shows a time in your life where you are confused between two decisions or thoughts in your life. These decisions may be equally weighing and important and now they would be creating a confusion in your life as to which one you should select. Both the swords are appearing same in shape and size which shows you might be having equally 'sharp' decisions or thoughts which might be confusing you.

The blindfolded woman also signifies that you are not able to recognize the good or bad out of these two as your vision isn't clear or your thoughts are cloudy.
The situation in the querents life is cold and difficult, the lady i shown on a shore at night which is rare. People dont go to sea-shores at night. The night and darkness signified by the moon is showing the querents life is not in a good phase. There maybe period of darkness as well as indecision to make changes to improve it.

The sharpness of swords handled by somebody who is blindfolded is dangerous, signifying that the decisions or the ideas that are taken in hands of someone who is unaware of the gravity or seriousness of the decision to be taken. They may not deal well with the ideas or the ideas may hurt them in return if they are not handled well.

The swords appear too large for the person to handle, this may be the feeling of the querent, as Nature assigns work to anyone which they are capable of. The Goals that you might have undertaken might appear dreamy and not realistic. You maynot be clear of the goals and the way yuo will be completing them. The greatness or sharpness required would appear too large to you for these goals.
Also shows lack of Sharpness of mind and internal vision.

Reverse-
The reverse card of the two of swords is actually a good sign, the card says that the indecisiveness or bluntness of mind that was there is gone now. There might be lot of clarity now in your life which will make you easy to make decisions that were pending till now. You may be very clear with which option you have to select.

The blurr, that you might have created for yourself inorder to avoid the situation of taking responsibility is now intentionally removed by you. Which is a good move, your life would take pace now. The card is a good sign for showing the 'steady and stuck phase removal'.

It may also indicate a dark and confusing phase that might have just been stopped from coming into your life.

Relationship spread will show more clarity which one to choose, the idea might be a little tough to implement but still you will be firm on your decision as the result of it would be a sweet fruit.

Meaning-

The Sword is a tool to help you get out of the cold situation in life, your life would be hellish, or may seem to be steady and stagnant like the frozen snow which is why the sword suit is bluish in color. Also the sword and the hands are shown glowing which says that the ideas or decisions that are flowing or you would take would be more powerful and will help you to get out of the difficult situations.
The ace is a number of beginnings, new directions, or changes that are needed to be taken, remember here the decisions would be difficult; its always with the swords as the suit will help to come out from difficult situations. When people get badly stuck in their lives? when they let go off things easily to people what ought to be theirs. The swords are here to help these people be firm and decide the change in their lives.
Or this may be showing you a way to bring more joy into your life when you already are happy but want something more. The cards in the spread would show the level of goodness and the 'feel of it', what the querent is feeling through right now. Whatever the current situation maybe but the thoughts of the querent shows that they are lacking something and need to make their life more beautiful.
For a single person this maybe a thought of getting into a relationship, this person may be going through very cold feelings or may have gone through a cold relationship, this might be giving trouble to this person. He might be going thourgh bad phase in life and just to change this phase he/she might be thinking to make a change inorder to make life better.

Suit Of Swords

Starting with the Suit of Swords-


The Swords suit is a mixed suit, it doesn't mean all positive when upright position. Rather they turn out more when life is not going good, but their appearance of cards suggests action and decisions that will help make your life get good. The Swords are a suit of Mind, mind is always wavering; your mind will be chaotic and disordered if you don't have any direction to take it into. When a soul isn't aware of its purpose then its mind is always wavering and chaotic. Once you know your purpose your mind gets direction where it has to focus. And then your energies can all be directed in that direction.
Swords deal with the mind, intellect, decisions, sharpness of persona, etc. Swords is a suit that will give you mixed meanings for upright and reversed cards. They are not always positive when upright and not negative when reversed.

Swords turn up at difficult when a "cutting edge" solution needs to be made to improve your life. Swords are blue colored showing the cold colors of winters. The Swords is also a suit of mind and intellect. The mind has the power of taking decisions and thinking. The basic nutrient tool to help us shape our lives. Either good or in a bad way. Swords person is thinking his way to make life better. Whereas a Wands person is passionately acting his way to make life better, the Cups person is feeling or emoting his way to improve their life and a pentacle person materializes it out. This is how the entire cycle of manifestation gets complete.

The Minor Arcana

The minor arcana is comprised of four suits, the Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. These all correspond to an element of our constitution and 5th being our spirit itself. These all combine to form our body as well as the world and universe around us. The soul usually selects several lesson to learn when in a physical body and the 5 elements support him in this mission. So the tattvas sometimes are seen working in our favor or sometimes against us.
The Swords are the suit of Air, air being the lightest is chosen as the first suit here. As this suit would represent the least amount of time, to change. It takes just a second for our mind to change or decide something. And so I consider the swords having the least time duration. Swords with its quality of sharpness helps us to cut through illusion, confusion, stress, or any negative stuck feeling with a 'decision' for change and grow.
The wands are the Fiery suit, the next little time consuming is the Fire. It takes a few minutes to strike a fire (of course when we try doing it the traditional way of rubbing two stones). So the next suit is the Wands, the fiery suit of Passions, Desires, Career, Work, Dreams, Enthusiasm, etc. The Wands are the the fiery energy that follows the swords decision. Desire, Passion, Drive is always needed for fulfillment of any thought or decision.
The next suit that takes a little longer time then the above two is the Cups suit, cups are watery suit and as we know the cycle of water it takes fire to raise vapor and bring clouds and bring down rain. Raining is a longer procedure and takes several months to gather enough vapor to form large clouds that would bring rain. The Cups are watery energy, what flows into you? of course Emotions and feelings. And so this suit is for Emotions, Feelings, Love, Affection, etc. Emotions of Love bring fulfillment into life, along with decisions and actions and work.
The last suit is the earthy suit, the suit of the element earth, physical dimension. The one that gives you the physical body. This is the densest and so takes the longest time to change or create something. Its the suit of materialistic world, resources, money, pleasures coming from luxuries etc.
Remember the above associations are my own, you might read some different elsewhere. You can use anyone which you feel is comfortable to you. Or you can create your own, but whatever you create should gel with your gut feeling. Stay consistent with them.

Judgement

Judgement



Ruled by- Pluto

Keywords- release of unwanted, past life connections, rise high

Appearance-

The Judgement card appears really as the Judgement Day or the time of renewal happening at the spiritual level. This is a very intense card for the Fool. The fool has to let go his blocks which he is carrying since his past lives.
The Angel with huge wings is seen blowing a trumpet, as if alerting the souls that were lost somewhere to wake up and and come back home. The the spirits that were buried in their graves wake up and spread their arms as it saying they are ready for the change. Its a positive change for a spirit when it will get time to renew itself and choose another body rather then just being trapped into nothingness.
There are souls of all age group found here. Means there is no limit to the age group this card may show up. The true judgement can be passed on to a soul whenever the right time comes.

Meaning-

The judgement card shows a time in your life when your years of hard work or suffering comes to an end. There might be some kind of long wait here it can be of anything that you were working hard on either a relationship, work, property or anything that now has the final 'hearing' as shown by the trumpet's blow. This can also point out towards any suffering which was prolonged either health wise, relationship wise, or any other area of life. But this card shows that the correct decision would happen. The Justice card was the 2nd phase of journey for the Fool where he learnt Justice to be done in materialistic world; whereas this is on spiritual and Karmic level. "Any thing never goes unseen from the law of Karma's"
You might find good or bad happening, the bad might be in the sense that you know you have done bad and so would get a punishment. But you would be happy about it as these souls who were fed-up staying into nothingness and are now ready to get their Karma's paid.
The Angel above also expresses its presence all of a sudden, this assures that there is always a higher energy who would come to us at sometime or the other in our life. If you are suffering and feel lost then know this as a sign from the angels that they would be soon at your side to bring peace to you.
The ocean is also a sign for the subconscious mind, any big changes that occur might be from the materialistic level, or it might also be at the deeper subconscious level. A person's subconscious mind when releases something only then he is said to be free from that issue or emotion. Otherwise till your subconscious mind is full of that energy you will never be able to be free from the feeling that arises as a result of that energy.

Reversed-

The reversed judgement card shows delays in any right change that was going to happen, it will either postpone for time known or unknown depending upon your Karmic debt still left.
Any Karmic debt left in your account would make things difficult for you related to any particular area of your life. You need to figure out why you are suffering from something, there always lesson to be learnt out of sufferings in our life. When we learn those lessons then we stop suffering and release the energy charge bringing in the pain. You need to find out what is this energy block that makes you suffer. Energy block is brought in by negative feeling. And this might be any recurrent feeling that might be troubling you. Either anger, sadness, depression, greed, jealousy etc.
The card in reverse position may also point out towards a disbelief in a higher power due to prolonged suffering or waiting. When a soul has to pass very difficult circumstances then they always wonder when the miracle would happen and often pray a lot for changes in their life. But when they see changes not happening in their life they actually give up their faith in higher energy. This card may point out towards such a mindset of your querent or maybe somebody affecting his life due to it.
There is always hope at every stage of life, perhaps appearing of this card shows that the phase of the Querents life would end soon, but there's just a slight delay in it.

Reversed-

The reversed sun shows a positive time that would be coming to a halt, it maybe a stop in any progressive work. Either in a promotion, or a marriage or birth or signing that deal. Look for surrounding cards to give the final verdict.
The actions might be suspended for no apparent reason, this card also shows laziness or depression. There would be lack of positive thinking in the querent resulting into lack of positive environment. The person maybe attracting people as negative as he thinks.
The turning of this card in a health spread is not a good sign, it may show continuation of the ill phase. Also see other cards in the deck, the person maybe on a very negative mind set that might be bringing him to such a stage. And he would need to become more positive minded to recover speedily.
Also literally taking the Sun in negative position would point out your weaknesses to accept the sun energy to its best. Remember to make yourself comfortable if you are in a too sunny area. Also if you are sensitive to sun's energy try praying to the Sun to help you make only positive use of its energies.
Spiritual path may not be giving you the positivity you expect, perhaps not the right time to go into spirituality.
