You should feel a lightening of the general atmosphere when the Moon moves from moody Scorpio to lighthearted Sagittarius. If we've done our work in Scorpio, then we indeed ARE lighter, because we aren't carrying around so much mental clutter. Certainly the emotional intensity has dropped a peg or two.
When the air seems cleaner and brighter - the way it seems after a heavy storm - it is much easier to look at your environment with fresh eyes.
Today's #amtarot card, The Ace of Swords, like all aces, are new beginnings. It represents things in the embryonic or conceptual stages. In Swords, the suit of communications and intellect, The Ace might represent a new idea in its conceptual stage as opposed to a carefully thought out strategy.
In a word, the ground is ripe for fresh thinking!
The Ace of Swords might also indicate that a new perspective is needed.
It is interesting that swords are used to represent the intellect in the Tarot--swords are tools that are used to cut. The intellect does analyze but it uses the mechanism of language to express itself. And, despite the children's rhyme to the contrary, "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" ... the truth is that names do hurt and as many tragic episodes in history attest, names can kill.
This aspect of Swords is relevant because Sagittarius (and many Sagittarians) are noted for their bluntness.
