From the New Era Elements Tarot, Daughter of Air (Page of Swords); from the Tao Oracle, Hexagram 46 (Pushing Upward):


The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy. ―Florence Scovel Shinn
The Daughter of Swords is bright, outspoken and soaks up information like a sponge. But intelligence does not equal common sense, especially when it comes to the consequences of our words. She's realized that words have power but is only beginning to find out that they can also seal up a heart or a doorway. That kind of juju needs to be respected, not used indiscriminately. Hexagram 46 shows mushrooms pushing up through the ground - the fruiting bodies of fungi. It represents rising to a higher level as we learn from our mistakes and the wisdom of others. In this case, we understand that we don't have to say everything we think. As Ernest A. Yeboah said, "We only shout when we neglect what silence can do."
