Shown above is my tarot reading for today, January 5th, 2021. I laid it out with the intention of knowing something I needed to know today. It started out as a one card reading, the Page of Swords reversed, but I needed clarity so I drew a second and even third card ending with (from left to right) The page of swords and knight of wands in reverse and four of cups. These are all cards of the minor arcana. In the four days I have done readings, I have not received a major arcana card, though, there are many more of the minor arcana than major and maybe I need to see the smaller picture rather than the bigger picture right now.
I’m going to ignore the title of the cards for a second. In the first card we have Palla Palla of the Amazoness Quartet. Palla Palla in both the anime and manga was the oldest sibling of her sisters, but the most childish. Her name comes from the Roman Goddess Pallas Athena meaning Wisdom and civilization. The majority of the card is light blue usually meaning trustworthiness and honesty. In english we have the saying “to feel blue”. We can notice a circle in the background which can mean movement, self, infinite or even God.
Now let’s talk about the general meaning of the page of swords, which is talkative, curious, mentally
restless, energetic when face up. As face up, I can relate Palla Palla to many of these qualities, but the card is reversed. In general, the reversed page of swords means all talk and no action, haste, and undelivered promises.
Taking Palla Palla’s backstory, Queen nehellenia awoke the sleeping quartet from their slumber too soon and promised an impossible promise in exchange for helping her get revenge. In my mind, I can relate this to the reversed image.
So I asked for clarity in the reversed knight of wands. Upright, this card means energy, passion, lust, action,
adventure, impulsiveness, but reversed it means haste, scattered energy, delays, frustration.
Mamoru Chiba though cold in the beginning of the anime of Sailor Moon was always quick to act and had passion for Usagi/Sailor Moon and his future daughter ChibiUsa. However, he also was sometimes cold, had strange dreams that caused him confusion and was victim to many evil doers.
In my reading today, I can feel a there is an aspect of my life I am hesitating on. One that is frustrating me and that anytime it comes, I continuously delay. spending time with these cards, I asked for more clarity.
The final card is Sailor Lethe who only appeared in the manga. She appears on the four of cups and represents meditation, contemplation, apathy, re-evaluation. Lethe is part of the word “aletheia”, which means truth. This card was right side up so I feel it is telling me to take time, meditate and re-evaluate the way I am going about the thing or things I say I will do that give me alot of frustration.
So what do you think? What does this reading mean to you? I’d love to hear!
Blessed Be,
