S02 Ep036 - The decans and their forecasts, are determined by their astrological associations- so while we may look at the imagery in this card and think it would be a terrible predictor of our week, it's astrology tells a different story. The association for the Three of Swords is Saturn in Libra, and that's the association we need to keep in mind, when we are considering the energy that we are going to be experiencing during this card's reign or tenure. Saturn is cold, dark, heavy, wet, dreary…. Hence the rain in the Rider-Waite-Smith card behind the heart. Libra is the sign of love and beauty, ruled by Venus- hence the heart on the card. This card can predict a long-standing commitment, or a dark night of the soul, neither of which fits into the box with the meaning of "heartache" that typically accompanies this card. Join me in this week's episode to hear how we really get the forecasts for our period of time under each decan and the card that rules it!
