Guiding words/ideas:
Dishonesty; nonconsensual exchange of ideas or energy; regularly practicing boundaries, clearing and resetting; feelings of unfairness from one’s past; it feels good to be in right relationship with oneself and others.
Channeled guidance:
This card is about dishonesty, theft, and being out of alignment with the goodness in yourself or with others. The swords are about activities of the mind and the element of air, so this dishonesty is really about our mental processes. This could be about stealing intellectual property or energy. When you realize that there has been an exchange that is nonconsensual, try not to lay shame upon that experience. Shame can add more layers of dishonesty into an already complicated situation.
If you have been unrightfully taking from others, acknowledge it, release it, and start over. If others have taken from you, reclaim what is yours, reset boundaries, clear out anything unhelpful, and start again. This process of setting boundaries, having clarity of intention, and starting again can be a regular practice. This might bring up feelings of unfairness from the past. With time, this practice can be as easy and regular as breathing.
Be gentle with yourself and others in this process. Have boundaries between the work that you need to do and the work of others. Be proud of moments of clarity and honesty that you find. Being in right relationship with oneself and others feels good.
