7 of Swords: Put Yourself First

In a 7 of Swords Mood

Ever find yourself in a 7 of swords mood? It can happen that you feel as though you are in a long, dark tunnel, and the only way you will feel contentment is to reach the end of that tunnel no matter how endless it seems. Sometimes you may feel like you are unworthy of reaching the light at the end of the tunnel and you must fight sensations of helplessness. You may even feel unworthy of friendship or love from somebody because it seems like they already have all they need from others and you just don’t matter to them the way you had hoped you would. You may reflect on how much they mean to you and all you would do for them, and all you have already done, and feel sad at the realization that this is all one-sided as they are so quick to dismiss you when they don’t need anything from you.

It is normal to slip into these moods. We all do it from time to time. When you find yourself in a 7 of Swords mood, give yourself permission to be a little bit self-centered. Push away these negative and haunting thoughts about yourself and do what it takes to lift your spirits. Do it without the need for validation from others, but rather for the improvement of your own mood. Your actions may strike others as stand-offish or maybe a little rude, but let that be their problem. Right now, you need to put yourself first. –Jim Larsen

The Fool: No Obstacle Can Stop Him

View Post

The Fool Tarot Card
Fool Tarot Card

The Fool gains strength through obstacles.

The Fool is on a journey and will find his way. He has explorations to make and will never stop. Hey may rest, but he will continue on his way once this rest has been accomplished. Obstacles and hindrances will present themselves to him, but he will find a way through, around, over, or under them. The Fool has a destiny to fulfill, and as such, he views any obstacle or hindrance he is presented with as an opportunity to amass strength and wisdom as he finds his way to the other side of them.


Nothing the Fool is presented with is intended to stop him, but rather to test his dedication to the journey and his ability to forge his way ahead. This journey that the Fool is on is not a journey of a single lifetime, but rather an accumulation of journeys throughout his spiritual/karmic existence. Therefore, he has endured uncountable obstacles and the necessity of getting past them is encoded in his karmic DNA.

Each lifetime for the Fool brings its own destinations to enhance the spirit. Each journey of each lifetime is a stretch of the total journey that takes the Fool to Grand Enlightenment. Even then, the journey does not end. As a grandly enlightened spirit, new journeys of understanding open up that are beyond the comprehension of any logical, earth-bound mind. As earthly beings, we are only given access to so much information. This is not to keep us in the dark, but to keep us focused on what we need to focus on for our given lifetime. To be given access to more than that would give way to unnecessary distractions as we would tend to project our attention to the fascination of what is far beyond the scope of current concerns.

We speculate the grand meaning of our karmic existence to a degree already. We do what we can to imagine our lives in a much greater context than what we experience earthly. To have access to validation of the ultimate grand scheme of our life, however, would cause us to live in the future without first catching up to it. This would have the unfortunate effect of not looking for the lessons our lifetime journeys are designed to teach us, thus depriving us of the growth opportunities that actually lead us to that Grand Enlightenment we are working towards.


The Fool, in his ultimate wisdom, accepts the journey ahead of him, not knowing where it will take him, but with faith that it will take him where he needs to be. The Fool knows, that since he is destined to be somewhere, he will get there. Obstacles will not stop him. He knows that in the overcoming of obstacles, strength, wisdom, and strength will be gained. This is true of grand karmic journeys as well as mundane earthly journeys. — Jim Larsen

Tarot Combinations: Judgment and Five of Cups

Judgment Tarot Card
5 of Cups Tarot Card

Judgment and Five of Cups: Your deeds have added up unsatisfyingly.

Judgment and Five of Cups might be giving you the disappointing news that your deeds have added up to an unsatisfying conclusion. This is not what you were hoping for. You have spent a great deal of time and energy hoping and expecting a happy and positive outcome, but this did not come about.


What came about was a disappointing result. All you can do now is reflect on why this is so. Did you place too much hope in an outcome that did not come about? Were you convinced that it was one thing, only to discover that it was something else entirely? Did your hope for appreciation from others go unfulfilled?


Look for the lesson the situation has for you. Examine what you can do differently next time and how to temper your hopes and attitudes towards it so that you not feel a blunt force blow coming from the universe if the outcome is not what you envisioned it would be. –Jim Larsen

The Hanged Man Tarot Card
2 of wands tarot card

Hanged Man and 2 of Wands: Looking for that Ah-Ha! Moment

Seeing things from other perspectives puts the whole world in your hands, as represented in the Hanged Man and 2 of Wands tarot combination. This is what you must thrive to do when seeking changes in your life- you, must learn to see the world you live in and the situations you are dealing with from other perspectives. You may struggle with certain aspects of your life and search for change. You know that this change will come from seeing things from just the right angle. But so far, you just haven’t found the right one yet. That does not mean it is not there, s do not give up on the endeavor of finding it.


As you explore different angles on the situation, you will eventually have the Ah-Ha! moment you are looking for as you see exactly how things fit together. What you find can not be seen from the standard, straight forward view of the situation. No, this is as it is seen from some odd angle that it had never occurred to you to look from before.


It could very well be that you just happened to see it from this angle by accident. That happens. A mishap of some kind exposes an aspect that had remained hidden until now. When this happens, appreciate the synchronicities that led to this discovery and utilize it for your own betterment. When you do this, you are not bound by conventionality, but rather innovation.


This makes you powerful. You must recognize these discoveries for what they are when you find them, and not dismiss them because you had not seen them before. Even if they only seem like a vague possibility, be willing and able to experiment and innovate with what you have found to see how they work for you.


This is what puts the world in your hands and gives you the power to create something new. With the Hanged Man and 2 of Wands, you will find those Ah-Ha moments that lead to innovation. –Jim Larsen
