Thursday 28th November 2019: Queen of Swords

Our spiky Queen of Swords is clear about one thing, namely, in the words of Ellen Goldberg, “We are who we have chosen to be” because every action is a choice and, as Montaigne put it,

The conduct of our lives is the true mirror of our doctrine.

Montaigne, Essay 1: 26, On the Education of Children

We might even call this the expansive theme of this week as we receive the arcana under the watch of Jupiter; with the clarity which the Queen of Swords offers, supported by the energetic zest of the Three of Pentacles may we be better able to navigate the tricky aspects of this week so that our works and actions truly reflect that which we desire to be.
