From the Victoria Regina Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from the Universe Cards, "Strong Force:"
When I drew this card I thought of the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword." Except in this case, the pen is a wand, suggesting "doing" has a more powerful impact than just thinking or talking about something. Sure there is the wisdom of prudence in careful planning before action, but it is easy to get stuck there while fussing over all the details. Ovenall writes, "Just as the passage of time leaves no point to pause, it also limits the opportunities for creative expression." Best hop on the train before it leaves the station.
Strong Force refers to the splitting of an atom's nucleus through fission or bonding it through fusion. It is the power source behind the creation of stars and the atomic bomb. Obviously such power can have drastic consequences, either powerful or negative. With the Ace of Wands above, I am warned to consider the long-term results of doing
or not doing something. What seeds will be planted that might be beneficial if I choose to pursue my passion? What might never change if I don't take the opportunity to act?
