Knight of Wands – Sun – Six of Swords

 

Usually, when three of our four panelists mean the same thing, we don’t have many sentences, and it’s hard to phrase them. Not today.

Knight of Wands is to leave in a hurry (or to pursue).

Sun means to get out of the house, get out from under some kind of restriction. Well, it means fun and freedom and being impulsive, and a kid, too.

Six of Swords is leaving for better times ahead, and to avoid or put distance between.

The remaining Tarot citizen, Eight of Wands, is many, a list, ‘things,’ talk, and one after another.

Sun is happy, and in Six of Swords things will be better.

Both Knight of Wands and Eight of Wands are rapid, fast, quickly, in a hurry, etc.

Mainly, today is about getting out from under something, getting free, having reasons to be happy, being on your way or fast progress … an uninhibited and unimpeded pursuit of better times. We are upbeat, we are energetic, we are on our way, movin’ on out.

 

Knight of Wands See him run. He looks disconcerted, rattled even, as his horse rears and paws the air. He has the symbols of a ‘fiery’ nature (the reddish color and the salamander pattern). Knight of Wands is associated with ‘getting out of Dodge,’ and with pursuit, so it’s about pursuing or being pursued. He is energetic, ‘giving it all he’s got’ too.

Sun Baby boy sneaks out into the back yard to play, naked and bareback, on the surly pony. This is about being impulsive, uninhibited, free and having fun. The kind of adult who calls himself ‘The Kid.’ It can mean vacation, and often means getting out from under what stymies or restricts a person. Escape, busting free.

Six of Swords is getting out, putting something behind, getting over it, leaving, escape from a bad scene, and better times are ahead. Today, in its present company, it is upbeat. A mother and child huddle in an open boat on a gray day, with no baggage. They have help getting out of town; a fellow is paddling the boat.

Eight of Wands Limbs fly in the air, one above the other. The meanings have less connection with the illustration than usual for this Rider Waite Tarot card in TarotVerbatim(TM). It means ‘many,’ makes other cards plural, means ‘one after the other,’ as well as communication (written and spoken), sometimes means a list
