CARD OF THE WEEKEND: January 28-29, 2023

 Nine of Swords

Golden Tarot 

by Kat Black

January 28-29, 2023: Yeah, I know. A scary one. I call Nine of Swords the nightmare card, and I have a lifelong history of being plagued by nightmares. Of course, it could be the card of worries so all-consuming that you never get to fall asleep and dream to begin with.

 

For this version of the card, from Kat Black's Golden Tarot, I suggest taking a steadying breath and focusing on one or a few details that draw your attention and spark your imagination. I'm drawn to the faint gold pattern on the dark drapery. They suggest texture rather than uniformity. What appears bleak needs closer examination to reveal its details--many of which might include subtle sources of light and potential.

In the small book accompanying this deck, Black describes the dog as "menacing" and clearly relates this symbol to a term often used to speak of depression--"the black dog."

But what if this dog--as I and so many others have experienced with cats--has approached the suffering human to offer companionship and comfort, even guidance?

To me, the imagery hints at an ambiguous situation, more complex--and malleable--than thought at first sight.

Even the orientation of the swords could signal available resources of mind and speech to be seized and used in positive ways. Grab one!
