August sees us blowing away the end of the cold winter in
Australia, our minds preoccupied with
a sweeping force asking us to analyze or tackle anything
being undertaken at present. Be it buying a house, a car, borrowing money, legal advice or whatever. It is important to
scrutinize the fine print, check the facts prior to any agreements being
signed. If in any doubt do not commit to anything yet, wait a while and ponder the pros and cons. You will
find August will go fast so get ready to embrace changes.
Looking at the symbology in the King of Swords. Notice how
big he is compared to his surroundings. Tall and imposing, perhaps protective. The king is a leader and very wise, he sees
how things truly are.
Above his head there are butterflies to show his connection
to the spirit world, transformation and intuition. There are what appears to be
two crescent moons around one of the butterflies. Symbolizing the feminine
energies in spiritual power which all humanity are connected to. Over his
shoulder there are two little figures of
a man and a woman. Showing the dualistic nature of humanity.
The clouds in the card are to do with thought. His mind is
on several things at once. The higher placed cloud refers to spiritual matters
and can be seen as a divine message being given to him.
The birds in the card are also messengers form the spirit
world usually spirit guides.
In the kings hand is a sword for justice, truth and
protection. It is also about wisdom to act fairly , ethically and responsibly.
Remember with great power comes responsibility which must never be abused or
taken for granted.
So we can see this
month is about acting honestly with the highest integrity and most noble
intentions. Should one neglect to heed the advice, then one will be held
accountable for the outcome.
