Six of Swords as the Overall Influence
The blues and recovery, movement and travel.
The energy present concerns the air element (sword) and deals with the mind. This card indicates that the quality of your mind is dictating the energy that is surrounding your love life. This energy causes your mind to wander and makes you feel like you are treading water. It indicates mental hardships and success after a long desperate struggle of survival. Your desire for a relationship is getting to you. In order to attract the kind of relationship that is desireable, it is important to calm your mind and learn to focus on exactly what it is that you want without allowing your mind to wander from one thought to the next. This constant mental action is frustrating and draining.
The Emperor in the Mental House
Although your mind is constantly wandering, what you truly desire is structure and regulation. This desire for structure and a male authority figure is attracting strong Mars energy to you. Mars energy can be very authoritative and domineering, taking over your feminine aspects and causing you to think too much like a man. You can tend to be over-powering and the qualities of Aries mixed with Mars makes you come across as overly assertive, as well as, aggressive or confrontational. Structure and power is good, but you may like to see this card as the final outcome as opposed to being in your mental house. Mentally you will want to soften your approach to men and deal with them in a more gentle and delicate fashion.
Five of Swords as the Underlying Influence
This card reveals that underneath your desire to have a true love relationship, there is some real healing that needs to be done first. Discord and arguments arrive in new relationships, and they are over before they actually get a chance to start. You are battling against something that you perceive is being done to you, but these thoughts are mostly in your mind. Over time you have become somewhat defensive and at this point are not quite open to love. You are quick with the sword and are not afraid to use it against what you perceive as an attack. This energy will continue to work against you until you get it under control. Meditation on ways to release your need to defend, protect and guard your heart would be a good answer to deal with your pain. Love is there for you and will surely come once this energy is cleared away. Be encouraged. You have found the answer.
The Heirophant in the Challenge Area
The Heirophant also stands for structure. Based on the reading thus far, it indicates that you have become too structured. Your belief systems are firmly rooted in who you are and you have found it very difficult to change. A rigidness has occurred that has painted you into a corner and sometimes it seems as if things will never change. Learn to do things differently than you would normally do them. Change your routine by introducing something fun and exciting into your life. Yoga is a great way to calm the mind and learn to be more flexible. It may seem as if things have been the way are for a very long time, but all it takes to change is to do something different. By doing something different, that is not so structured, you will literally shift your energies and open the door for energies that are more conducive to what you desire to attract. Artistic expression would also be a great energy shifter. Focus more on Love.
Page of Wands as the Outside Influence
Brilliance, courage, beauty, force, sudden in anger, desire of power, enthusiasm and revenge are all attributes of the Page of Wands. As we can see, there is a common thread between all these cards. Based on the energies present, this card indicates that you are pulling down a lot of fiery energies, compelling you to be combative and literally pushing love further away. Again, you will want to actually resist these energies by the sheer force of your will and work to replace them or draw down energies that are the opposite of fire, such as water. The attributes of the water element are serenity, calmness, tranquility, peacefulness, happiness and love. Focus on these attributes in your meditations and prayers. Utilizing crystals that carry these attributes will be a great tool to assist you in removing this fire element from your aura more quickly. This card shows you have the power, simply use it to take action to work in the right direction. You can do it!
The King of Pentacles on Your Pathway
You will meet someone soon. This person will be a very solid individual, ambitious, driven and financially secure. He will be very attracted to your own drive, determination, personal discipline and structure exemplified by the Emperor in your mental house. It is literally your powerful mental abilities that allow you to draw such an eligible and desirable individual. Further readings would need to be done to see how compatible you two will be. However, be encouraged. Meeting this person is an opportunity for you to sharpen your social skills. Put into practice some of the attributes that we have discussed here. Work on your meditations, and practice using less fire and a little more honey. Meeting the right person takes time and most importantly the right energy. Remember to do your energy work.
