Eight of Disks rev., Nine of Cups, Ace of Wands
Deadlock – Self-remembering – Action

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.”
May Sarton
It’s been quite an emotional period lately.

Knight of Wands rev., Page of Wands, Sun
Negligence – Broadmindedness – Love
Card of the day: Page of Wands
“By all means, let’s be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out.”
Richard Dawkins
These are troubled times, and the future seems more uncertain than ever.
Each Court card is a challenge because it combines different types of energies. Here, the Mutable-Air Mercury visits the Mutable-Fire Sagittarius. The situation is double-volatile as both represent the Mutable Quality. Air and Fire are also directly opposite Elements, which further raises the challenge of the situation.
The Page of Wands teaches us to find opportunities and make the most out of the circumstances.
The condition is to be intelligent and adaptable and maintain open communication channels with everyone involved.
Don’t make rushed decisions or act on the first impulse. Do thorough research and be well-informed before making any definitive decisions.
On the other hand, don’t overthink or hesitate too much either.
Short windows of opportunity and unfamiliar circumstances will require courage to go outside your comfort zone.
Therefore, you will have to keep an open mind and accept unusual requests or offers.
The Page of Wands rules the Eight, Nine and Ten of Wands and is subordinate to the Wheel and Justice. These are all energetic and highly inflammable cards.
The Page of Wands offers an escape from the routine and monotony of day-to-day life, represented by the Numerals (Pips), and gives a chance to make a real change. Moving up to a higher plane of spiritual existence, the Wheel represents continuous motion, while Justice guarantees that everything falls in its right place. Yet, Justice is also a message that mistakes will be punished accordingly.
The card indicating the past, the Knight of Wands reversed, is a warning not to be superficial or negligent and not to repeat past mistakes.
The future with the Sun looks bright, meaning you have a real opportunity to step in the right direction.

Two of Swords, Ten of Swords, and Lover
Diplomacy – Accumulation – Decision
Card of the day: Ten of Swords
“Everything that occurs is an accumulation of what you have knowingly or unknowingly set in motion.”
Steven Redhead
Should we be afraid of the Ten of Swords?
The Ten of Swords is more often associated with death than the Death card.
However, the frightening and gloomy perceptions are misinterpretations caused by Arthur Edward Waite and Pamela Colman Smith. Thanks to them and the subsequent efforts of Read more Ten of Swords

We still believe that we are the children of G_d, and the smartest beings walking on the planet, yet we are a bunch of idiots. In fact, we still don’t know basic facts about ourselves and our history. Significant parts have been altered or deleted. You cannot google it, so it doesn’t exist or is untrue.

“Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (Genesis 2:8-9)

In the digital age, information is more plentiful than ever, but parsing truth from fiction can be daunting.
According to Wikipedia, rationality is the quality of being guided by or based on reason. In this regard, a person acts rationally if they have a good reason for what they do, or a belief is rational if it is based on solid evidence.
However, apparently, we are programmed to be irrational.
I always considered Read more Good faith versus critical thinking
