Foolish Justice Delivered at Knight!

Today's spread consisted of Justice, the Knight of swords and The Fool in reverse.

I drew it this morning and then sat on the bus on the way into uni pondering it. I'm not going to lie...I find 3 card spreads difficult; there's just too little structure for me and I usually have to spend some time working things through in my head.

Justice (XI): This one is easy. Justice is often portrayed as a blindfolded woman holding a set of scales and the sword of truth. She judges with logic and reasoning, using truth to cut through the lies and illusions which may surround an issue. Justice is blind; neither interested nor swayed by appearance. Cold hard facts, that's all she is interested in and she is willing to dissect every minute detail of a situation to extract them.

The Knight of swords: The knight on a quest for knowledge and wisdom. Though very different concepts he holds both in high sted. Unfortunately he is infused with the element of air and linked quite often to the zodiac sign of Gemini. He is quick to act, sometimes hasty and is incredibly ambitious. He describes action and goal-oriented thinking. I feel a strong connection with this card at the moment and see myself as the armoured sword barer.

The Reverse Fool (0): The fool represents a deep set need to change one's own life, in reverse he tells me that he is not yet ready to make that change. He tells me that he still has doubts and is not yet ready to throw caution to the winds and let go. He may be trying to tell me that something can be salvaged from his current situation, or that he needs some form of reassurance that someone will catch him if he falls.

At the moment I am supposed to be selecting my 3rd year project for university, but feel unprepared and rushed. I am unwilling to make a definitive choice and stick with it. I feel worried that I will make the wrong choice and so do not wish to make one at all.

It's okay, however, the cards tell me that I am rushing and that slowing down is acceptable. They tell me that I will make a good choice if I base my thoughts on pure facts and spend time looking at all the possibilities. They warn I should not involve emotions into my choice (least of all panic) but instead only logic and reasoning should be utilised. This is a relief as I have been quite worried recently. I shall organise to see my tutor as this is the most wise and logical thing to do.

Oh and as for my first reading...wow today sure rang true; no lecture notes or handouts, just pure note taking. Ouch!

Blessed be
