So I asked - "Show me 2013"...
The King of Swords - Someone who has seen many battles, who looks at the world through the eyes of subjective emotion. A master of intellect, in a position of authority. Moving through a period of transition and fighting for what they believe in.
The Tower - A period of pain, suffering and possibly violence, resulting in liberation. A life changed and transformed by events. The only way forward is to fall.
The Empress Reversed - Emotional distance, detachment, the need to think something through. The reverse of a card that signifies passion, sensuality and desire.
Nine of Cups - Desire, sexual excitement, beauty. Imagining the perfect other, becoming beautiful and desirable to them. The turning of a wheel.
Death - The release from old patterns and the end of something that has become meaningless. Moving on from something that is obviously finished, and done.
And then... A final card free from the deck...
King of Pentacles - A person of importance and substance. Someone successful, who loves life and will protect what they have. Someone calm but with deep understanding.
