As we approach the ending of Aquarius season, I wanted to share this post from friend and author @Grant Isaac Asay who always has a unique perspective on Tarot. This is a link to his post regarding this card and I encourage you to sign up for his community also! https://www.skool.com/grant-isaac-tarot-1947/the-7-of-swords-the-symbolism-youre-missing?p=564db844 I too have been avoiding the 'deception' energy of this card or 'cheater' etc. Yellow I have taught in the past as a connection to the colour of Judas' robe when he betrayed Jesus as a link to a Christian reference - Giotto's The Kiss of Judas (1304-06) pictured below. However the card is Moon in Aquarius (moon being shadow or about to be enlightened) and Aquarius symbolising the future or visionary. So this to me is always a person taking knowledge and re-purposing it. It's not always 'bad' or untrustworthy. As Grant says, sometimes the knowledge isn't landing where it should or the audience is not ready to receive it. Thoughts?

So I ask the Tarot what does the collective need to know this week? And this guy appears. Normally I read him as Libra, (Cardinal Air) as well as Master of the element (Air - Mind) so he is a mastermind. Librans are intellectual, high achieving and usually like to be in control of decision making - even though the decision process can be pain-staking. Are there decisions you're having to make this week that are in alignment with this energy? Do you have to sign an important document? Libran energy also being connected to legal matters, contracts and binding agreements that are significant. Whatever that might be for you the end game is balance and harmony. You're wanting to use the sword to discern. Understand that tough calls are usually required for change. If you're tired of feeling that something is unresolved or needs your attention, perhaps this is the week to address it? There is a much deeper connection to the butterfly as well and it's position on the card. Can you guess what it is? Drop a comment and share your thoughts if you will.

I would love to give a shout out to our newest member who not only picked up a copy of the 2026 Decan Diary, but the 100th copy of Dating the Tarot! Amazing and I am so grateful. The book only came out in September last year and I am a nobody! This is so validating and I am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much to @Nicole Schepisi - please make her feel welcome!
