And in comes flying the Ace of Swords! This week, we are being given the opportunity for fresh ideas, metal breakthroughs, and clarity of mind; the Aces are all about action! The answers we seek are being presented to us - we just need to be brave enough to accept them. Like the fresh breeze that comes with the changing of the season, such is the energy of the Ace of Swords. It clears alway the mental clutter and offers us the chance to feel uplifted and energised with sparks of inspiration!
This week we can expect to have a continued sense of clarity that began with last weeks card, The Star. With this week’s card being an Ace, is is a reminder that we are being given new opportunities, but that it doesn’t come with any guarantees. The question to ask yourself is “do I take the risk and seize the sword that is being offered to me?” With this card’s energy for the week ahead, it says YES!
In the imagery on this card, we see a hand popping out from a cloud grasping at a sword. This sword is an offering; you are being given the sword, but it is up to you if you choose to pick it up and use it. You have to be the one to take your thoughts and channel them into action! This card reminds us that even though some things may be up in the air, your logical and rational mind can come up with the goods to move through it. You have everything you need within you to know which path to take!
A Time for Action
As well as being encouraged to take action, you may also find a new sense of clarity. If lately everything has seemed murky and confusing, we are now shifting into a space where suddenly things make perfect sense and seem to be crystal clear! Even though those moments of clarity can at times seem fleeting, the Ace of Swords is here as a reminder that by taking action on those moments of clarity, it opens us up to change and can allow us to step into a new realm - one full of direction and decisiveness.
During the week ahead, allow yourself to welcome in thoughts of change. Challenge yourself to act on any new ideas you have and welcome the power that aligning you thoughts and your action can have!
Wishing you the most perspective-shifting week.
Love, B xo
