Positive Potential

From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, the Ace of Swords; from the I Ching Pack, "Lake over Wood:"

Lately whenever I draw an Ace, I suddenly hear the Black Eyed Peas singing I Got a Feeling in my head. I suppose it has to do with the positive potential available in these cards, and all I have to do is use it. So what opportunities are available in the Ace of Swords?
~ Clear communication with no manipulative BS.
~ The simplicity of truth with all blame and excuses cut away.
~ Objective justice with no favorites and the ability to see all sides of the situation.
~ Ideas and solutions that can be used in concrete ways.
The Lake over Wood card presents the image of a lake overflowing its dam, and one of the book's keywords for it is "mounting pressure." The water element makes me think this refers to an impending emotional flood that is going to swallow up whatever is in its way. Hopefully I'll have the common sense (Ace of Swords) to climb to a high ledge and wait for the waters to recede. When that much water is coming, the best thing to do is get out of its path.
