The Queen of Swords rests in power, but in an alive sort of way.
Today’s card keeps with the self-confidence theme that keeps popping up this Valentine’s season.
- The Devil: the confidence to be counter-culture and ignore Valentine’s Day outright if you want to.
- 3 of Wands: the confidence to set aside self and pay deep attention
- 4 of Swords: self-care allows you the ability (and/or confidence)to care for others.
- Knight of Wands: um, did I mention self-confidence is sexy?
- 2 of Pentacles: confidence to balance of self and others
- 5 of cups: the confidence and courage to face difficult emotions with direct communication
- King of Cups: the confidence to get advice from trusted sources
Today’s Queen of Swords is similar self-confidence but more. This card has an energy of deep and abiding self-acceptance, not mere confidence. It is the difference between knowing something and iternalizing, itegrating and BEing something. There is great peace that comes with that. That peace spills over into all sorts of relationship. The more you accept and the more you authentically live your highest truth and truest self, the less other peoples judgement matters. The more happy you are with yourself, the less you depend on others for happiness to exist. The more comfortable you are in your own skin, the more accepting you are of others in theirs. The more you are compassionate toward yourself, the more you can be compassionate to others.
The knight cards, and the other cards so far may be self confidence in action, but today, the Queen of Swords is self confidence at peace.
