Week of the Autumnal Equinox
Prince of Swords
Planetary ruler Venus
The image for the Prince of Swords is a young warrior sword in hand just about to take his revenge. Someone or something he loves has been threatened and his reaction is anger a n d violence. His rage can make him an unstable force. He has lost touch with his feminine side as well as his partner. This prince does not realize that he and the land are ONE. He does not understand that what he does to others he also does to himself. He can blame an entire race for the crimes of a few. He is the creator of the Wasteland. His fears and pain have made him cruel. His mortality is the gift that removes tyranny and allows life to renew itself.
His way is patriotism instead of fraternity, brute force instead of diplomacy. He still believes Might is Right.
Have you ever felt so angry that you thought you were going to break something? Anger comes up when we feel victimized in some way. Have you ever been confronted by someone who is enraged? Most people's first reaction might be to meet that anger with more anger or with irritation. But what if we met that anger with the knowledge that this person has never felt more like a victim then right now. How would we like to be treated if we were angry? What if we reacted to someone else's rage with empathy? Next time you are a witness to rage take a moment to understand instead of self- protecting.
Traditional tarot meaning: a mature man with brown hair, the zodiac sign Libra, the archetypical warrior.
In a Reading: This card represents an angry person whose pain has made them overly sensitive and unbalanced. The rage and attitude he slings is his protection. The brick wall he or she has built up around them is protecting them from being hurt again. Trust will have to be established before communication and healing can take place.
