Hoi Polloi Tarot - Queen of Swords

Today’s draw is the Queen of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of a receptive alpha energy, personality, or person in the area of one’s knowledge, education, logic, ambitions, or communication. This can often translate into themes that have to do with the people that foster you through tough love and sharp-tongued advice.

Speak clearly, because lack of clarity helps no one.

Don’t forget that being forthright and even full on blunt isn’t necessarily always a bad thing. Sometimes? People need to hear things without the fluff and hedging that makes what’s being said more palatable. Some people will refuse to listen until you put something to them in a way they can no longer ignore.

That includes you, sometimes, too.

The message in today’s Queen of Swords and “Ambiguity” prompt is a reminder that although being honest doesn’t have to be cruel, sometimes it -does- need to be blunt and forthright. Read the room, and if people are hearing you but not truly listening? Maybe it’s time to change up how you’re saying things in order to pull them out of their bubble and get them to truly pay attention to what’s being said.

Prompts for March 10th

Tarot Reading with the Motherpeace Mini Round Tarot and Smithsonian's Our World in Pictures Trees of the World Flash Cards

How are you doing mentally at this time?

Son of Swords and Coastal Redwood – You are hiding behind a mask in order to keep the honest truth of your vulnerabilities hidden behind a veil of confidence.

You have a tendency to do this to protect yourself and keep your soft side safe, especially when you’re feeling vulnerable.

That means that right now? You are feeling vulnerable. Vulnerable enough that you feel the need to try and protect yourself.

How can you improve on this in the week ahead?

Eight of Discs and Cacao Tree – Making vulnerability and the softer side of your nature more palatable to you takes work.

This process is more than just growth and development. Acceptance in this area is an actual skill that you need to work on and develop over time. It won’t happen overnight, but can be done with focus and effort placed to the task.

Other elements included in this reading:
Black Spruce Needles to Boost Self-Confidence and Positive Thinking

Venus sextile Pluto Prompt for March 10th
: What deep desire is surfacing?

Tarot Reading with the Hoi Polloi Tarot - Eight of Cups, Knight of Swords, Five of Wands

Reading Summary: You want to react emotionally by running away (Eight of Cups) or diving headlong into conflict (Knight of Swords charging into the Five of Wands).

Take Away: You are in the mood to pick a fight and burn some bridges at the moment. This isn’t really surprising when you consider that you’re currently in the middle of a subdrop, which means your emotions are in turmoil and your reactivity is at its highest point.

The cards are pointing this out because awareness is the key to defusing the bomb before it goes off. Remember that your reactivity is due to extenuating circumstances, and take a step back and a deep breath instead of just diving in or lashing out.

Slow your roll and take your irritation home. Discuss the situation with a trusted friend and let your emotions vent as you share. In doing so, you divert yourself from diving into untenable situations that could end up causing irreparable harm to friendships and relationships with others.

Other elements included in this reading:
Dried Lavender Bundle for Calming and Comfort
Foraged Oak Branch with Moss and Lichen for Perseverance
Black Tourmaline for Grounding and Protection
Selenite for Purification and drawing in Positive Energy
