“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.” –Mom
Ouch. The swords are a-falling.
Here is the reversed Queen of Swords—Water in Air. Upright, she’s efficient and rational, cutting out the extraneous to get things done. Reversed, I think of her sharper attributes as running away with her. Sarcasm, bluntness, biting commentary are all within her capacity. She normally means well, all the queens do, but her mouth may get the best of her when she’s upside down, you know?
I ran across someone I’d written about, a long time ago. Not about personal business, never that, but my thoughts, my observations from an interaction.
Feeling a huge chill, I suddenly realized those words must have traveled back home. They must have cut! I cringed at the pain I caused, knowing there’s not much to be done now.
I said a little prayer to send blessings, an energetic apology of sorts. I asked for healing and intervention to mend, resolving not to be so careless moving forward. My words have weight. Sometimes people read them! It’s funny, but I forget sometimes, I’m not invisible.
At the same time, I get reminded of hurtful words that struck me, ones I’ve held in my heart for a long time. It’s no different, I knew then. Double-ouch.
Empathy sucks sometimes.
It’s rare for me to get Biblical, but I think of forgiving the sins done to you, as you’d want your forgiven. I release the energy tied up in my own grudge, sort of like an offering. It’s the least I can do. Everyone speaks out of turn sometimes. For when I have, I’m very sorry.
Does this queen speak to you of cutting words?
