-
SCIENCE
(Previously called, “Earned Success.”)
Six of SwordsMeditation Pattern: Place Atu I, The Magus, and Atu XVII, The Star, side-by-side, with the 6 of Swords above them.
Traditional Description: Swords extending from each side, their points meeting in the center; two other swords converge onto the same center from above and beneath. The rose is reestablished thereupon. The symbols of Mercury and Aquarius are above and below, supported on the points of two short daggers or swords.
Tiphereth of Air: Perfect balance of mental and moral faculties. Beauty; perception of beauty, health, wholeness; self-esteem. Journey by water. The last phrase is traditional. Prior to air travel, it probably meant “long distance travel,” both literally and as a metaphor for psychological or philosophical journeying.]
Mercury/Aquarius: Intelligence and humanity prevail. Inventive, creative, and progressive thinking. Success after anxiety and trouble. Dominance, painstaking care, mental works.
Tiphereth/Sol + Mercury: Excellent mental capacity; commerce; practical, knowledgeable, attentive, analytical. But the ego can become overly identified with its own views and ideas; intellectual pride, conceit.
