Card Notes
Card Notes
1

Two of Swords: Bringing balance between two opposing influences.
Note the presence of the Moon and the Tide.
So there might be the idea of balancing the "releasing" time of the cycle with the "building up"?

2

Knight of Wands: It brings in energy, passion, creativity, determination, ambition.

3

Three of Cups: In the Witheld position, and in contrasting balance to the Knight, it contrasts the energy of celebration (end, satisfactionà with the renewed energy of beginnings (seeking, aiming, which comes from not being content with what is there).
In a way, it's a way to boost the spirit into not lingering too much in satisfaction and quickly move on to the next goal.

4

4 – The Emperor: The energy that flows through the left pillar is that of Fire.
Aries could be associated with the Blood, and more precisely, with the Iron of the Blood and Sword.
Here the ambition and energy of the Knight is structure and intelligently channelled through the ordered and leader-like power of the Emperor. A king is assigned by Blood also, which is of note, so there is a sense of self-appointment in a way ?

5

Two of Wands: Here it's clear that was is removed is the "collaboration/equal balance of power/partnership" that goes away, in echoe with the 3 of cups. It is replaced by the Emperor that rules alone.

6

Six of Swords: A sense of transition, healing, and maybe acquiring and keeping knowledge for later.
It could represent how what is contained within the blood (the characters) is carried via the water in the system.

7

Six of Wands: The emotional burden is that of Victory, which is that of the Emperor. It's that integration of standing on one's own rather than in the collective and collaboration, and to bear the light and sight and visibility that comes with it ?

8

9 – The Hermit: Unravelling is the mind that stands and explores magic alone.
When the "collaborative" aspect is gone, there needs to be the "rulership" aspect that comes in.
Note the contrast of virgo (☾ sign) to Leo of the 6 of wands (☉︎ sign).

9

Three of Wands: What I was told to do today, which was confirmed to be linked to the Blood Magic Water.
Sense that it brings a good fondation, and expansion at the body level.

10

Ace of Pentacles: The final answer is that it will influence the Body.
It could mean various things.
As blood, it connects to Ancestors.
As Iron, it connects to Shield.
As Power, it connects to Physical Strength.

It is precised by the 7 🜃, which speaks of Cultivation and harvesting the fruits of one's efforts.
There could be the idea that I can benefit by the inner cultivation that would translate to my blood, creating an ouroboros of sorts.
Maybe there is also the metal aspect being stressed. the right pillar could be read as IRON WILL.

11

Nine of Wands: The Eclipse in Virgo Blood Moon is about resilience, courage, strength, keeping in the theme of the blood matter.

12

Ace of Wands: Here also, it brings in Inspiration, new beginning, creative potential and passion, which is in harmony with the Blood reading

13

9 – The Hermit: While the Hermit unravels with the Blood, here it's completly witheld.

14

Two of Swords: Here we have the power of the tide and of bringing balance which was the root of the Blood Work, which again shows there is a nice harmony between the two substances, which reinforce each other.

15

Page of Swords: Here being removed could be several things. The Blood moon could be the opposit of the Eclipse. As while the Moon should be hidden, instead it glows Red. Meaning that it stills receives the glow of the Earth when not directly of the Sun.
It might also be that one deletarious idea is removed, or balanced.
Alternatively, we see negative or underhand communication going away and replaced by a fruitful debate. two opposing parties instead of indirectly influencing each other, come in direct communication and reach a benefic middle ground.
This is reinforced by the Hermit witheld : something that was standing aloof or hidden comes in contact.

16

Seven of Swords: Here we need to take into account the overall negative bend of the middle pillar cards. The 9 of 🜂 and the 7 of 🜁 can both be read a "treatrerous".
But it's also saying "successful strategy".

17

14 – Temperance: Bringing in Emotional Balance

18

King of Pentacles: The precision is "Emperor" so it's about the 'leadership" related to the Earth Element.
Here it should be read as "mind" rather than unravelling it seems. The Mind reaches the stability and leadership of this king in response to the emotional balance

19

Three of Swords: Here there is maybe the idea of the release of pain and sorrow?
The Heart with swords and rain is evocative of the blood, the purging, which might be of an ancestral nature?
The clouds could also refer to the eclipse aspect.
The Sun is occluded, and Moisture (Moon) becomes red.
So it could also simply be stating the Blood Moon influence on the land and ancestors.

20

10 – Wheel of Fortune: It Blood Moon Water Energy brings change of destiny, or moving in the right direction of destiny. It's the cycle of purging reinforced to speed up the turning.

21

Ace of Swords: The combination of the Two substance brings in Air/Sword.
The 🜁 aspect is visible in what follows.
Considering how the middle pillar goes from Moon to Sun, I would say it implies a positive meaning here. So it could be mental clarity, a new idea or understanding, or the sword itself.

22

Seven of Swords: here we have the help of the previous reading. It's about using magic to get something that would not have been gotten otherwise.

23

Five of Pentacles: The loss of energy and isolation is witheld. So it confirms that ace is not read as Loss. There is a lack that is going removed or in the background and being adressed

24

King of Swords

25

Page of Cups

26

18 – The Moon: Could indicate that it's about the hormones, something hidden.
Or simply the Moon/Subconscious

27

Five of Cups: Release/pouring of emotions of loss, disappointment

28

16 – The Tower: something in the mind that causes issues being released

29

Ten of Pentacles: there is a coagulation, a knot at the ancestral level that needs purging ?

30

19 – The Sun: the final oucome is positive, success, influencing how the other cards are read
