Situation
If it feels too good to be true, it probably is. The Sun reversed tells the tale of a leap taken before checking the landing zone. Yes, I realize this isn't the fool. But, look at the image. What do you see? You witness a child who jumped over the wall. A leap from the past into a bright, irrational guaranteed future. He's the fool re-born. But, a fool who didn't take a leap of faith, but one of naivete—a leap without a foundation.
You ignored the warning signs; you rejected your intuition and know you'll face unnecessary delays. Not because the opportunity isn't real, but because you moved before it was ready.
Yes, it happens even to the best of us.
But now, you must ask yourself:
Who pushed you?
Who benefited?
Who sold you the fantasy?
Who had a stake in breaking your joy?
The answer’s below.
The Blocker
Ahhh, it's the one and only five of swords reversed. A battle you no longer wished to engage. So you caved. Gave into the pressure of others to keep the peace.
But you forgot just because someone fights dirty doesn't mean you surrender. Some battles are worth the wounds. Especially when your happiness is at stake.
So, you step back. Observe. Wait.
Then, you strike. When they believe they've won, the surprise unleashes. You pick up the swords they left behind, the opportunities they thought you'd ignore.
You hide your emotions. Keep silent. And when they least expect it, you make your move. You don't announce it. You do it.
Like the sword you slice quick, clean and done.
They never see it coming.
Path Forward
Enjoy the win.
Once you realize no one can steal your sun, you've won. Game over. You take back your power. And guess what? You had it the entire time. But you faltered. Trusted in others who didn't have your best interest at heart. You believed their lies.
So, remember this universal truth: unless they're God in the flesh, no one helps for free, or at lest not with some strings attached.
So the next time anyone whispers in your ear, keep this thought in mind, "you don't need them." You have everything you need, because the Nine of Cups proves it; Emotional stability. Self-validation. Inner peace that requires no approval from anyone. And if you hold on to that, your sun will be hard-pressed to reverse again.
What This Means:
Don't give away your power.
People will ride your coattails, they'll hijack your success and bleed you dry. All the while, in the same breath, they'll tell you it's to help, it's out of love, out of friendship, out of support.
It's bullshit.
It's because they thought you were a weak and an easy target to manipulate.
Why do I say this? The 5 (five of swords) brought contention. Yet, they didn't realize your 9 (nine of cups) held attainment. This bought you the 14 (9+5). Possibilities of the 1 to a solid foundation of the 4. A path to freedom, a journey of success without anyone, but you.
So, when you step back, when you really see you've been the one holding the key this entire time. The doors don't just open. They fly off the hinges because no one is standing in your way.
Now you leap through the 14 of freedom where your Sun is no longer reversed.
