Queen of Swords - The Field Tarot

5/6/25
Tarot Tuesday ~ Queen of Swords

Revelations may come to light this week—in the form of information, intuition, & even insecurities coming to the surface. For some, old wounds may reopen, showing us areas that are still in need of healing.

The Queen of Swords is fiercely independent, but this week her energy takes a more inward approach, reminding us that introspection is one of the most powerful fuels for igniting our wisdom. So this week you may find yourself needing to slow down a bit to process things: pausing from all the action so that you can tap into the best solutions while remaining true to your authentic self.

If there are challenging conflicts or conversations, this may be a good time to set your sword aside for a moment to reflect on the best path forward. Some may feel like they have no fight left to give, while others may realize they’ve been too sharp or harsh in their dealings with others (or with themselves: self-criticism, negative self-talk, etc).

Queens are the nurturers in Tarot, so be sure to nurture & honor your need to think things through more carefully. Especially if there’s a humbling aspect to it, as some of the astrology starts to take us into a deeper dive of self-discovery once again.

Pluto, the planet of death & rebirth, recently turned retrograde in the sign of Aquarius, shifting us into another transformational quest through mid-October. Pluto can have a rather destructive force, so it is imperative that we have the discernment to recognize what needs closure, and the wisdom to accept the healing potential of that disruption. The upcoming Full Moon in Scorpio next week (5/12) will likely intensify and highlight those energies.
