In the upright position this card is all about diligently being on defense. Making sure no one crosses into our territory when they shouldn’t. Sometimes we can get carried away in our lives with being on defense. Especially when it comes to our hearts or protecting our egos. Rejection is hard. We don’t like to open up and see what the reaction will be. That makes us vulnerable. We are taught from a young age on that being vulnerable is important to avoid.
In the upright version of this card, these diligent guardians are fully capable of defending their territory from whatever may come at them. They just don’t know what that may be. I feel that we are fully capable of staying behind our brick walls as well. We know how to do that. Many of us have been doing that for a very long time. But Sacred Spirit is using the energy of this card in reversed position to remind us that sometimes it’s ok to let the walls down that we build around ourselves and especially our hearts. That sometimes it’s ok to be vulnerable. Sometimes when we do that we find that other people are much more accepting of who we are or of our situation or whatever than we ever could have dreamed. Even when others aren’t accepting of us, it’s hard on the ego in one way, but in another way it is very freeing to be and to share our authentic selves, no matter what the response.
So today is a good day to step out from behind that brick wall, be our true authentic selves, let the defenses that we normally carry drop, and watch the people around us, and the universe respond to that.
