Hi Figment
Thank you for your PM and, as you asked, I will try and see where this takes us in the public forum.
Having the Five of Pentacles and the Seven of Swords which come up in your self-readings or daily card pickings is something that has been worrying you. Being so worried about these cards tells me that you know the textbook meanings of these cards and we shall not go down that route too heavily. I would be interested to know – although not hugely important at this stage - if you simply pick the cards at random or do you actually ask a question on your daily picks?
You should know best if the Five of Pentacles applies to you in your current situation.
By way of reassurance, I would like to say that the Fives are just the middle way, half way, not the final end of a situation. It is always followed by the Six, Seven and up to Ten. So, whatever you are going through at the moment (or may be going) whether it is financial or material unease or a physical discomfort, it is bound to pass for things don’t stay put at this level. There is always that hope (Rider Waite deck) and help at hand through the church windows where this destitute couple is passing through.
Perhaps when the storm is settled and you are out of this situation, it would be wise considering your options and getting away with what you can or cutting your losses and moving away from a scene which has not been working for you – Seven of Swords. However, looking at this card on its own, I would say beware for someone or a situation around you is not what it seems to be on the outside. Someone is being economical with the truth or doing things behind your back.
Figment, moving away from the cards and looking at this from a different point.... I tried to connect with you on a different level... What has been coming to me is not so clear. I cannot pin you down to see what you are doing. You are as though speeding away in a fast-moving transport mode whether this is in physical terms or in your own mind – whether you are mentally or spiritually all over the place and cannot stop or do not want to stop - to find solutions or answers to a situation you may be in. The vision that I am getting is far too speedy for me make sense of. I get the feeling of preoccupied mind about you; am getting the words “making the sums”, “ adding things up “in order to make sense of things... I feel sometimes you wish to stop and take a breather and why not have some fun times, but as if something is drawing you back to that speedy mode or the situation itself is not letting you sit still. I feel that you wish this would stop and you could rest your head on a pillow and have a rest but even when you are resting, your mind is whizzing through events and thoughts that you have no control over. Because the pace of what I am getting is so fast, I don’t see anyone else or others around you in this situation. This speed, this state of panic or urgency has a final or a temporary Stop to come to, but it feels as though it is never-ending. This pace cannot go on forever though; I see you coming to a stop and when you do to come to this Stop or to this Station, I see you coming out of this pace into a serene and an unflustered state of mind, as though knowing well that you had to go through what you did in order to get here.
My dear Figment, this is what I got and I am sorry if it is all a blabber for you.
Hope it made sense to you.
Blessings to you.
