The second decan of Aquarius, a decan ruled by Mercury. 

 

Part 1 at TabulaMundi --  DECAN WALK – AQUARIUS 2, SIX OF SWORDS – Part I – Tabula Mundi Tarot

Excerpt: "You can see how the Tabula Mundi Tarot image combines the far-seeing and aspirational brilliance of The Star/Aquarius with the knowledge and intellect of The Magus/Mercury: the orrery and the sextant, tools of celestial navigation. Likewise in the Telos image is an "armillary sphere" or spherical astrolabe, marking out the latitudes and longitudes. The decan, and the card, describes getting where you want to go via the means of intelligence."

I love this decan 🤩and will have to make time to at least take a photo of the cards on my desk.

I love this decan as well. 

 

 

All the Sixes have this underlying positive energy that comes from Tif'eret, the solar sephira. It's the direct reflection of the divine light, in the middle of the Tree. 

 

I call Virgo and Aquarius the paradoxical zodiac signs - mutable Earth and fixed Air. That makes them interesting. Aquarius is the middle of Winter, and the middle decan of the fixed sign is the apex of the season. From now on, we're moving towards Spring, slowly at first, but noticeably. 

 

I have become much more receptive for seasonal changes since tracing the decans. 

 

Clear Aquarius nights are so beautiful - the nights are long and the skies often clear and sparkling. 

 

My stepfather was a typical Aquarius - a visionary scientist with innovative ideas. What a beautiful sign to be born in. Happy birthday to all Aquarians!

Down here it's hot, and we're moving slowly toward autumn. 🙂 Makes for an interesting decan walk, following along, but I go by the northern hemisphere associations for readings anyway. I'm not so much into astrology timing as I am in what the astrology on the cards was meant to add to the Thoth meanings.
