“Navigating the Liar's Path: Embracing Discernment over Deception”

Here we see the reemergence of the Liar, the theme for 2024, signifying distortions of truth & deception playing a central role in a narrative. Being played for a fool, distracted from what is really going on. The Libra lunar eclipse of last week may have served a wakeup call for all of us to examine our relationships, and how well we coexist with people who might have very different values and agendas than our own. The upcoming Aries solar eclipse will thereby reveal shadows, so be prepared for hidden truths and secrets to be exposed. Anything based on a lie, & no longer “meant to be” are swept away without notice. The weakened Knight of Vessels seeks to interact and help others by offering his knowledge & gift of diplomacy to solve conflicts. He typically relies on his people-pleasing tendencies and peacemaking abilities in atmospheres becoming increasingly chaotic. Bless his heart as he trudges forward through life seeking to guide others on the right track to connect with a higher purpose. All well intended, don’t get me wrong, but singing ‘Kumbaya’ is not an effective or helpful strategy when dealing with liars. Your strength lies in building up a weak King of Swords, who uses his head, not heart, when communicating, honestly yet reasonably. This King wants you to recognize that you are dealing with “skillful men who know how to move people by using mind control”. Lean into his strength of discernment & unbiased judgement when trying to disseminate truth. The higher standards he holds for himself by adhering to principles such as truth, legality, fairness, provide order & structure to build a framework for him to ascertain fact from fiction, reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. The advice of the 9 of Swords suggests getting help from those stronger than you to cure some deep seeded ills if you unable to cope. If you don’t, they will overwhelm you, leading you further into despair, falseness & treachery. This time of humanity requires those of razor-sharp minds & integrity to navigate the dark waters ahead.
