Nest Cleaning

From the Jolanda Tarot, the Six of Swords; from Bird Signs, Egg:

          The truth has been laid bare, as evidenced by this sky-clad young witch zipping past the row of swords. She's finally realized all of the opinions she's swallowed are detrimental rather than beneficial. Yet it won't be easy to let go these ideas, especially if they're shared by others (just look at those judgmental eyes on the butterflies). Or, she may suddenly have recognized what she was proclaiming wasn't being acted upon. As the Dhammapada (1:17) explains, "One who recites many teachings, but being negligent doesn’t act accordingly, is like a cowherd counting others’ cows, and does not attain the benefits of the contemplative life." Whatever her present mindset is, it's making her miserable; she's ready to trade it in for something better.
          The Egg card suggests the birth of something new, which I'm sure is what the Six of Swords woman is seeking. Yet I am also reminded of the behavior of avian brood parasites who lay their eggs in another bird's nest, tricking them into raising the chick as their own. In some cases, the parasitic chick will even push the others out of the nest. It would be a shame for this young woman to clean out her nest only to welcome more of what she just got rid of. Discernment will be required to make sure the ideas and beliefs she considers are her own, not something she was manipulated into accepting.
