Our first card hints at the current energy environment:
This feels like a reckoning of heart and mind. Sometimes logic isn’t quite enough. Anxiety that comes without cause isn’t to be disregarded. Guard your energy, guard your emotional and energy boundaries. The water behind the figure can be placid and peaceful, but tonight it feels like shimmering agitation, like water showing sound waves or vibrations (think the glass of water in the jeep in the movie Jurassic Park) That simmering anxiety just below the surface needs your attention. Like the three of swords that follows, there is a sense of being on guard against very negative people who leave a trail of pessimism, judgementalism, anger or what have you in their wake. Even if it isn’t directed at you, take care of yourself as if it were. Reiki, incense, music, tourmaline, meditation, good sleep, nourishing food….whatever strengthens your protective energies, don’t hesitate to reach for whatever clears and settles and grounds you.
I ‘hear’ “nervous system reset”. Reach for what soothes you, worry about the cause later when your head is clearer.
The second card hints something to do that will ease the anxious feelings:
The six of wands has turned up in a few different readings lately. It gives the same message each time, “protect your peace.”
This feels like a large, collective energy message. So much…it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Actively protecting our energy and peace of mind.
Here the sense of everything cycles through all the advice of the first card, reinforcing it as well as giving the notion of reinforcing your own energy boundaries.
I am also reminded of study that postulated that the neurochemicals of strong emotions can clear as quickly as 90 seconds* It is the same as the well known adage of take a deep breath and count to ten before responding to anger. Whatever the emotion, regardless of cause, it isn’t going to last forever. It will pass. There will be peace after conflict, balance after upset as is the classic meaning for the Six of Wands.
Hang in there. Don’t ignore the emotion just because it doesn’t have a clear cause. Soothe, center, ground: let the neurochemicals clear. Protect your peace. It will return.
