Today's card is the 7 of Air, or 7 of Swords. The art on this card is so interesting to me. It looks like the print was messed up, but in fact it is how the card was created.
Typically, this card speaks of deception and strategy. The keyword on this card is Reaction.
I really appreciate how this deck weaves in our subconscious in a powerful way. How we react to something is what drives the response. So that could be sneaky behavior or taking time to figure out what to do next.
On the card, there is a figure who's obstructed by a pillar or beam that's almost invisible. This reminds me that sometimes it's the unseen obstacles, our mind and thoughts, that get in the way leading to self-sabotage.
Before reacting, it's important to know if something is true and if it even requires or deserves a reaction. When we act out of fear or past experience, that creates a different response. One that can lead to running away, avoidance, or more challenges.
If I pause before responding, and sit with whatever discomfort may be presented, that creates space for me to react with love, leading to growth and transformation.
My intention to day is to pause before responding with love.
Being intentional about my daily Tarot practice and sharing it has been a beautiful anchor to my day this year.
