Third Decan Aquarius, Tarot Seven Swords

Tarot Seven Swords, Seven Air, Unstable Effort

Tarot Seven Swords, Seven Air, is allocated to the third decan of Aquarius.

Each of the Minor Arcana cards numbered seven express attributes of Netzach. Netzach is the seventh sphere on the QBL Tree of Life, whose title is Victory, corresponding with astrological Venus.

Sephirothic Planetary Correspondence

Sephirothic Planetary Correspondence assigns Venus to Netzach. Minor arcana cards numbered “Seven ” express this astrological body’s qualities. These characteristics are colored by their elemental suit: fire, water, air, and earth. These four suits correspond to the four worlds of the QBL: Fire Atziluth, Water Briah, Air Yetzirah, and Earth Assiah.

Tarot Seven Swords/AirAstrological Decan Allocation

Astrological Decan Allocation assigns Tarot card Seven of Air/Swords to the third decan of Aquarius. The Moon is attributed to this decan and carries the title of “Unstable Effort.” This combination of Aquarius, Venus, and Moon points to the card’s state of passivity as the individual attempts to emulate the achievements of Six of Swords, or “Earned Success,” but lacks the mental clarity to make it a reality.

The redeeming factor, however, is Netzach, whose title “Victory” may to some extent prevent total fragmentation of the thinking process, thus avoiding total disaster. The traits of this card, which signify a scattered and unfocused mind, can lead the individual to act recklessly and break confidences due to their indecisiveness. Surrounding cards indicating violent influences may take advantage of this person’s weakened state.

Third Decan Aquarius Considerations

Seven of Air should act as a reminder to stay alert and watch for any potential deception, whether internal or external and to stay away from any manipulative people or situations. It also encourages us to seek out the truth and find our inner wisdom, trusting that it will lead us to the right path.

Personality Type 

Knight of Water is the personality type associated with this card indicating a person who is graceful and poetic. Although indolent this is an individual who can be enthusiastic if inspired, symbolizing the effects of weather upon the surface of the ocean.

This individual is often a healer who understands the physiology of herbs and is sensitive to the needs of others.

.Tarot Seven Air Decan Signature

In our attempt to understand what minor arcana cards are telling us, take into account the specific inner voice of the decan. In this case, the conjunction of major arcana cards Star and Moon, corresponding to Aquarius and Moon, is the signature of this decan and will be transmitted through the personality type represented by the Knight of Water, Fire of Water.

Let me reiterate; the Court Cards, such as the Knight, Queen, Prince, and Princess, are not necessarily gender-specific.
