The Page of swords is today's card.
Pages are messagers, and the sword is the symbol of truth (with a capitol "T"). We see a young person on a hilltop. The blowing trees in the background and the flowing hair on his/her head indicate a blustery day. A flock of birds flies in the distance. Huge clouds mass on the horizon. Far away we see an indication of water and mountains. The young person's stance is guarded. Who or what is he/she looking at? Maybe at some version of the "truth".
The "truth" can distract you from your purpose. When you're off on your personal journey, towards a dream you've always wanted, and someone says something negative about you, you can be thrown off your path. You might, for instance, be told that "you can't have this thing that you want, because you're a _____ and no one like you can ever have this dream-come-true." "Well," they might add, "it's the Truth!"
Their truth hurts, and you may feel defensive, wary, like giving up, or even arguing with the nay-sayer.
We've all been turned from our true path by this kind of comment; that we're not focused enough, pretty enough, powerful enough, etc. etc. to have our dream, and that only extrodinary people get what they want.
Our parents might have told us this, or our teachers or friends or we may have said this to ourselves when life feels overwhelming.
Defending ourselves from someone else's opinion only distracts us from our purpose and, more insidiously, shows us our tacit agreement to whatever we've been accused of.
What we, or others, believe about ourselves is not "the truth". It's just a thought we've been trained to keep thinking. We can change our beliefs about ourselves by simply turning from the old belief and continuing on our path, trusting that we'll be guided to (and by) our best self.
The Truth is that we are all extrodinary, with our own way to move through the world and our own unique gifts to give.
All we need to get what we want is the strength of will to go forward even in the face of a storm of disapproval. Storms always end, the winds of change will blow the clouds of self-doubt away, and you will see your clear path ahead.
Go for it. Let your truth set you FREE!
Love,
Kristine
