The Deck: Green Witchcraft Tarot The Cards: The Battle Wagon — reversed; The Sidhe; 2/pentacles
Someone is going no where fast, and you seem to be the individual the universe has chosen to set this someone right. (lucky you) While they are charging through life, barrelling along at breath taking speed towards a predictable crash, you may feverishly be working behind the scenes to manifest a right outcome for them, even though they seem to be oblivious, or don’t much care. There is the distinct feeling that your interference will be met with resentment and passionate resistance. Ignore this, do it anyway. In the end — when their eyes are finally open to reality, or they see a positive outcome through you — they will be grateful. For now, they will be a brat.
Catalyst... a person or thing that precipitates an event.
You are very tired of fighting something… what? — other people’s expectations? pressure to conform? personal demons? Give it a rest, put it down. Be still and focus. There’s a decision right before you that you may not have realized is even an option… Choose, make a decision. Once you do, life and all it’s jigsaw pieces will fall into place.
(Strength; King/cups — reversed; 8/wands — reversed; Queen/wands; extra cards — Queen/swords; The Devil)
You may need a bit of strength to have a difficult, but long over-due, conversation with a manipulative and rather daunting individual. Good luck making your point, this will require some eloquent persistence, but even then, you may feel that you’re beating your head against the wall, and you may feel that you are not succeeding in making your point.
The thing is, although the individual you’re trying to get through to may be too dense to get it, the effect of voicing your opinions, your feelings, your ultimatums, your truths, your concerns, and your solutions is going to be an unexpected cathartic experience that finally allows you to move on from this individual and the situation they represent. It will be an internal cleansing you may not even have realized you needed.
If this manipulative and controlling individual held any sway over you, they will lose this magical hold once you have found your voice and your courage.
(Knight/swords; The Hierophant — reversed; 8/pentacles — reversed)
Someone is not being subtle. They are charging in, voicing their opinions in big loud in-your-face drafts of wind; they are using bullying tactics to push their agenda, to gain agreement; they are holding someone in a mental state of imprisonment, dismissing someone elses opinions as insignificant.
The recipient of this barrage is the antithesis of the loud and obnoxious Knight. What’s really at odds here, the things that are facing each other in this show-down, are Conventional Mindsets and the Spontaneous Rebel.
This is not going to work… not the method, or the connection.
(The Hermit; 2/swords; Judgement) You find yourself on a solitary journey of the mind and will, standing at the threshold of a decision only you can make, a decision that will send you in a very specific direction. I can feel the sense of frozen anticipation this choice brings, the almost inaudible breath as you open your mouth to reveal the final outcome. What makes this decision feel so monumental, so surreal, is that you never thought you’d get this chance again, this choice. You thought this opportunity was lost forever. In essence, the universe is giving you a second chance. This time, do it right.
