Monster Girl October Tarot day 19: Poludnitsa from Chłopi and other Slavic tales as the 9 of wands card!

The 9 of wands suggests fatigue, exhaustion, but the perseverance to keep going. Lady Midday, Poludnitsa, is a noon time spirit/wraith/demon said to plague farmers with heat stroke, pain, or madness. She also may challenge you to an impossible dance contest or a series of questions! For the 9 of wands, I imagined Poludnitsa's threat as a good warning to avoid burning out, but to work hard in a way that allows you to keep going. (I also LOVE the idea of a monster that attacks at the heat of the day rather than at midnight or in darkness!)

Today, you need to listen to your heart. What do you truly want, and what are you willing to fight for? While you are able to persevere through difficult times, those difficulties will still weigh heavily on your emotional self. Make sure what it is that you are striving to attain is worth the fight. If so, make sure you pay attention to what your intuition tells you and prepare for the challenges you may face. 🐈‍⬛

Today's daily card pull is Nine of Wands. This is a time to stand tall against challenges that may present themselves opposing my present goals. I need to keep pushing towards what I want and even when I’m getting closer to achievement, I mustn’t slack. No time to lie down - stay on those toes. The reaped rewards will be relieving and great.

This is a personal reading.

I'll probably start doing 2-card daily pulls tomorrow instead of single cards.

If you feel that I may have interpreted the card wrongly or have any advice to give me, feel free to drop an ask or dm me. I wanna be able to feel more confident in my reading, so advice is greatly appreciated. 💜 Thank you.

Introduction to Wands Arcana

In the realm of the arcana, the wand symbolizes our momentum, willpower, drive, and even our disposition. It embodies the heat of the game, represented by a courageous cudgel or baton, akin to that of a warrior. The wand is not just a physical tool but a conduit for magical forces and energies. It signifies the pursuit of victory and the path to becoming the best, the first, the great hero. Additionally, it represents the dynamics of conflicts and disputes, making it the suit of war.

Disclaimer: The way I learned to read tarot cards does not involve the use of upright and reversed positions. Instead, they rely on their symbology, positive and negative meanings, and the readings depend more on the spread rather than whether the card is upright or reversed. Also, the Court Cards will also have its separate post and I'm using Rider-Waite as reference.

Ace of Wands

Symbolism:

The Ace of Wands ignites the spark within us, the very essence that sets things in motion. Just like a spark requires oxygen and fuel, this arcane speaks of taking what you have and transforming it into something extraordinary. It embodies a profound impetus, comparable to a roaring rocket or a sudden burst of energy. It signifies an intense desire to act, and the card depicts a vibrant, living wood emerging from the ground, symbolizing the manifestation of our willpower.

Positive Interpretation:

This card radiates the energy of the present moment, urging us to seize the opportunities that surround us. It represents the strength of now, urging us to take what we possess and embark on our chosen path. It symbolizes the energy of combustion and encourages us to take the reins of the situation and make things happen. It marks the beginning, fueled by the courage, willpower, and forward movement required for a successful startup.

Negative Interpretation:

The negative aspect of the Ace of Wands warns against impatience, anxiety, and the tendency to rush into action prematurely. It advises the cultivation of calmness and patience. It may also indicate a misguided and aggressive approach, lacking the necessary elements to produce a fruitful outcome. It serves as a reminder of the importance of courage and the perils of succumbing to fear.

2 of Wands

Symbolism:

While the Ace of Wands represents the spark, the 2 of Wands represents the fuel that sustains that energy. The card depicts a figure holding a wand with a globe, symbolizing the potential of the initial spark, while another wand stands behind. This card signifies the interplay between forward momentum and the supporting elements. It prompts us to understand the nature of fire and its inherent oscillations.

Positive Interpretation:

The 2 of Wands signifies having the necessary support and resources to pursue our goals, dreams, and desires. It highlights the ability to handle existing responsibilities while pushing boundaries and reaching new heights. It advocates for a balance between action and rest, and it emphasizes the power of collaboration and partnerships.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 2 of Wands warns of obstacles and limitations that hinder progress. It suggests the challenge of multitasking and the inability to fully devote oneself to multiple endeavors. It reflects the notion of being spread too thin, resulting in a lack of fuel to sustain the desired outcomes. It may also indicate conflicts and opposition, both external and self-imposed.

3 of Wands

In the imagery of the card, a person stands at the port, observing ships depart and arrive, signifying the grandness of these actions in that era. It embodies the spirit of venturing into uncharted territories and discovering new horizons. The card suggests that with dedicated energy and effort, one can conquer anything. The two sticks in the background symbolize balanced energies that support and assist you on your journey.

Positive Interpretation:

This card signifies a strong willingness to take action and overcome obstacles. It reflects confidence and self-belief, urging you to be determined and find a way to achieve your desires. It embodies courage, dynamism, and a desire to travel and explore distant places. It represents a yearning to go beyond your current boundaries and expand your universe. The 3 of Wands heralds great adventures and significant decisions in your life.

Negative Interpretation:

In its negative aspect, the 3 of Wands warns against recklessly pursuing any adventure without grounding yourself. It cautions against constant restlessness and a perpetual dissatisfaction that drives you to expend energy without finding fulfillment. It can indicate an avoidance of responsibilities and impulsive actions without careful consideration. It may lead to entanglements and turning away from the present and the future, ultimately causing a sense of being lost. It may also represent distant and unreachable relationships.

4 of Wands

Symbolism:

The 4 of Wands symbolizes the union of essential elements, representing the culmination of the spark, fuel, and expansive abilities. It signifies a joyful bonfire of energy. The card features a festoon, symbolizing congratulations, and a wedding, representing the union of collective efforts for the common good. It embodies the stability of energy, celebration, movement, and the rhythmic flow of energy.

Ever True

Though the stairway seems eternal, it is your role to climb.

Through trials, weariness, doubt, and obstacles of all kinds, you must endure.

Step after step, then step after step again, ever onward, ever upward.

When you can't remember why you're climbing. When you doubt the stairs will ever end. When you've lost who you were climbing for.

Step after step. Keep going.

Erm, I’m super late posting my contributions to the @/narutarotproject. 2022 was such a bad year for me that I just sort of forgot to share them. Oops!

Spiritual Music Musings 4/15/2023: J Cole - January 28th

Just added this passage to my Sidereal Sag article here. If I ever wanna update with more things to say, it’ll be via my site: https://www.taisoleil.com/articles/2022/1/23/c71jk2fbkd7w3lxwap5vn1meghv9cd

J Cole got a song called January 28th. One of my favs by him btw. 1/28 is his birthday. The album was recorded in 2014, so I’m assuming that he made this song in 2014 as well. Putting perspective to this project, let’s keep his solar return of 2014 in mind. His solar return had a Sag Moon, which shares the Tarotstrology of the 9 of Wands. When we look at the 9 of Wands, we don’t talk about how this card has to fight to keep what they have despite all odds. The want to give up. The want to fold into yourself. I think the second picture of the 9 of Wands explains this perfectly. The temptation to do what everyone wants you to do while you’ve just built up what you wanted. You’re getting used to the effort it takes to maintain something. You’ll eventually have the strength to maintain it easily and what you’ve built will be able to hold its own eventually. This hones in on what I talked about previously with this card on my site. Never settle, but also keep your dignity with what you’ve created and enjoyed. It is yours.

The Moon is more so of inner work and mindfulness around what you’ve expanded upon (Jupiter energy), which can be draining. The Moon provides a gateway in which you can use this energy for yourself, but are you going to let others be the judge of it? Folding can lead down the 10 of Wands route in which one can eventually fold to others demands, carrying wands that aren’t yours. Or, doing more work than what’s intended because you felt like your personal efforts weren’t enough. This is the contrast between the Moon and Saturn. The 10 of Wands is Sag Saturn energy. With that said, we are noticing obstacles that are outside of you, creating more work. This is from Saturn contrasting Jupiter's influence from Sag. You may be doing things that may be necessary to learn, just the hard way. This can help you understand what you’ve been possibly disregarding when it comes to your inner knowing, your Moon.

“May no man alive can come damage my faction”

“Don’t give em too much you

Don’t let em take control

It’s one thing you do

Don’t let em taint your soul

If you believe in God

One things for sure

If you ain’t aim too high

Then you aim too low”

- J Cole
