you are ambitious, progressive and willing to take the lead hoping to improve conditions.&nbsp; Experience the creative power of your emotions &#8211; good judgment and ability can translate your ideas into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An unusual and unexpected event will occur now &#8211; any conflict could bring loss.&nbsp; Maintain your balance as events arise that will test your ability to judge fairly.&nbsp; When you are in charge you are comfortable making decisions and will stand by them &#8211; you may not be able to give logical reason for your decisions, but you feel confident enough to act on them.&nbsp; You seldom turn to someone else for direction &#8211; preferring to do things in your own way and take responsibility for the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your greatest problem is your own boredom &#8211; this lack of a new direction or stimuli.&nbsp; Have a little more patience &#8211; organize and bring order to your personal life.&nbsp; Clarify things in order to prevent any misunderstandings.&nbsp; Do not allow anyone or anything to \u201cdominate\u201d your thinking for that creates imbalance.&nbsp; Move the way your body wants to, regardless of past learned patterns.&nbsp; You are capable of unfolding into great beauty if you follow you own inherent potentials.&nbsp; See who you really are as opposed to who you are supposed to be or where taught to be.&nbsp; Clear awareness of self is established through a peaceful mind and a calm heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You stand now, with the world in your hands &#8211; yet, you find no contentment.&nbsp; You are bored.&nbsp; Your accomplishments have walled you in and the world you hold \u201cappears\u201d very small.&nbsp; You have become weary and can think of nothing more to do with your life.&nbsp; Your love of battle and challenge has left you with no satisfaction for your actual accomplishments after the fight has been won.&nbsp; You will have the energy you need to move in new directions now.&nbsp; Apply yourself &#8211; remain balanced and in harmony with the energy that surrounds you.&nbsp; Maintain equilibrium between your mind and your body, so that you do not act until you need to and this self-discipline, combined with your intuition &#8211; will bring success to your enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiritual curiosity, wonder leading to choice and choice leading to more wonder.&nbsp; Alternatives for growth, a selection of potentialities, the entrance of \u201cother\u201d at the intuitive level.&nbsp; Recognition of choice, or alternatives and the action in relation to that choice.&nbsp; The quality of discernment.&nbsp; The world is calling you, infusing a spirit of adventure to see first hand what wonders await.&nbsp;

As indicator of your initiation, the Ace of Wands is your vow to take a vow, dedicating yourself to the path.&nbsp; The Two of Wands is the vow itself, through which you become a bride\/groom of the divine.&nbsp; Just as you must \u201cmate\u201d on the Physical, Emotional and Mental levels, so must you choose and \u201cmate\u201d on the Spiritual level as well.&nbsp; Oaths.&nbsp; Pledges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions to Answer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What two ideas are you bringing together in a new and different way?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are you planning to accomplish?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What are you competent at?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What conflicting desires do you wish to integrate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At what threshold do you stand?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What options do you have?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Special Messages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Next to Empress or Emperor: Opportunity is imminent &#8211;
