7 of swords meaning broken down
-
93 Jim,
I wanted to ask you about the breakdown of a minor card & how exactly to apply all the info? For example the 7/swords well we have Netzach of air/aquarius, you give conniving, deceitful & unreliable. How would Venus in air bring about this meaning? Now we look at the combination of Venus/Moon which you say desire for comfort as one meaning. Then of course Moon/Aquarius with these meanings, love of abundance, fascinated by display, to spy upon others. How did you arrive at these meanings? How is the moon or aquarius giving these meanings? Please explain this to me so i can see how you arrived at these meanings?93

In writing Liber Theta, I actually took it from the opposite direction. I didn't start and say, "Gosh, what would Moon + Aquarius be?" The commitment was to preserve the traditional meanings of the cards, but to show how these are derived so, for the most part, it went more like: "Here are the traditional meanings from the original Book T. Now, which ones do I list under Netzach in Air, which under Moon + Aquarius, and which under the Moon + Venus summary?"
So, let's examine some of the particular things you asked about:
"For example the 7/swords well we have Netzach of air/aquarius, you give conniving, deceitful & unreliable. How would Venus in air bring about this meaning?"
Netzach, not Venus. (There's a difference.) The key idea is that four 7s show what is required of us (in terms of each of the four elements) to attain Victory - to succeed. In Air, the requirements are things like cleverness. The negative side of cleverness is stuff like deceit.
