Wobble Reading - July 10
The Wobble: Ace of Disks and The Princess of Swords. These are so visually overpowering, looking down on the viewer from an acute angle. It suggests that the wobble here is how present and pressing and overwhelming these issues seem, and also that it’s largely in the viewpoint we occupy. The Ace of Disks speaks of a focus of making a strong beginning, but more specifically, Robin Scott talks about the disk being modelled on a subway token, so it makes me think about transportation, transit, and the power structures inherent in where we live and how we get places. (My city is under heavy construction this summer, can you tell?)
If that’s all stable but perhaps restrictive, The Princess of Swords wants to break it up, climbing up on a plinth of her own to shout through her megaphone and make her voice heard. We’re seeing a lot of that this summer, the establishment trying to “make a new start” that is more of the same, and challengers emerging who are connecting much more strongly with the public, showing a depth of understanding that those who have been in power long enough to build statues have forgotten. She’s done the research and got the receipts (all those pages flying in the wind.)
The Path: Ace of Cups. But yet again, the path seems to be to take a step back so that I’m not having to crane my neck up and listen to others. It’s a cue to go back to my relationships, the green spaces around me, what waters I can visit and from which I can replenish my mind and soul. A lot of the “path” cards since I started doing these readings have been along similar lines, giving me Wobbles that have to do with the larger political world, and paths that are smaller, more personal, imperfect, and infinitely more fulfilling.
