From the Classic Tarot, the Seven of Swords; from the Constellations Deck, Piscis Austrinus:
The means we use will shape the ends we receive.
―Dale S. Wright
The sword in the center of this card is tied down, suggesting that thoughts have produced actions that won't get erased. The Seven of Swords represents secrets and hidden motivations - something we all have. But if we follow through on any of these less than altruistic ideas, then we have something to hide; in some ways, we lose the freedom simply be ourselves. It helps to have good and wise friends to discuss such thoughts with before we convince ourselves we're in the right. Piscis Austrinus is Latin for "the southern fish" and is a constellation in the southern hemisphere. The Egyptians told stories of this great fish that saved Isis, while the tales of the Greeks said it saved Derceto, daughter of Aphrodite. What do we want to be remembered for, the skeletons in our closet or our altruistic deeds?
