Jeeze, the world is going crazy at the moment, it seems that everything is falling apart all over the place, things I supported whole-heartedly are now showing themselves corrupt and truly evil. People are behaving in crazy ways out of fear and misinformation that they swallow without thinking – crazy world we live in, but exciting and invigorating all the same.

The World is the final card in the major arcana and brings the Journey of the Fool to a close. It signifies having gone through a process, experience or cycle, and that cycle coming to an end.
Regardless of whether this has been a positive of negative cycle for you, it is now at a point where it is coming to an end.

As our central energy focus this week, this card brings into our awareness, not only the achievement of a certain level of skill in our experience, but an almost esoteric connection to soul, centre and the universe too. It reminds us that we are on the right path when everything seems to flow and work together.

The nines normally show the ending of a cycle, time to take stock of what you have around you, what you have worked towards, the rewards of your labour. The Pentacles normally indicate cycles in the financial or abundance arena.

Our friend is standing tall surrounded by all his achievements, enjoying his “pay day” so to speak. Releasing the stress of the last few weeks and just being with what he has around him right now.

A lot to unpack here. Our friend seems to be beaten down by life, on his hands and knees, devastated by loss, despondent, and tired. Bogged down by disappointment and life in general, maybe even ready to give up on his dreams and hopes.

We are reminded this week that it is often necessary to leave behind cherished beliefs, agreements, beliefs in who and what we are and how the universe works, and to set off investigating unknown and unexplored areas of belief and understanding. Learn from your past, sure, but don’t live there. Things can look very different from another perspective.

Our central focus today is emerging vision and action and a reminder that youthful passion is all well and good, but can be misguided and unfocussed, so by taking a more mature approach and focussing within rather that comparing ourselves to others and their experiences, we consciously focus on changing the way we see things and experience the crazy world around us

Our central energy focus is “face the pain”, stop ignoring it, stop hiding from it, stop pretending it doesn’t affect you – it does and it is time to face the monsters. Only when you face the monsters, do you see the truth of who and what they are.

Our central focus is on sustaining care, making sure our boundaries are clear, that we don’t overcompensate, or even undercompensate in sharing our love and support. We are also reminded that we are always supported, even when it appears we aren’t.

Our central focus this week is taking deliberate action, after considering the plan and deciding on a course. The Knight of Swords reminds us that we can’t sit around and think all day, we must do something to move forward and achieve our goals. With considered action, success is assured, do something today,
