Taurus Rising

All fluff, no action.

This week’s 3 Card Focus revolves around the Knight of Swords reversed, 3 of Pentacles reversed, and the Knight of Pentacles reversed.

Knight of Swords reversed: All fluff, no stuff.  There’s a lot of talking and talking and talking and talking… and while this isn’t usually a bad thing, it becomes a bad thing when you work with others and can’t back up all of your “talk”.

3 of Pentacles reversed: Some work is completed, but there is no pride to show it off.  Unfortunately, the inability to show off the work has brought the project to a halt.  There are missing pieces to the puzzle – maybe a weak foundation.

Knight of Pentacles, reversed: There’s the need to reap the rewards, while being lazy to do anything.  If any work is being done, sloppiness is making itself evident.

Thoughts: If you are going to work with others, remember to keep your promises or stay true to your words.  In other words, don’t be all talk.  Make an effort or do something, to back your words.  If you don’t have enough pride to bring your work to the table, it doesn’t help the team.  Communicate with them, tell them what is going on.  It can make things worse when they think you aren’t doing your share.  And laziness is not the way to get rewarded.

I thought it was interesting to see two Knights reversed here – especially since Knights represent the next stage in development (from Pages) – learning and action.  With the two Knights reversed, I see no action – it’s come to a halt for some reason.  Another interesting thing, was the two reversed Pentacles.  Pentacles represent “reality” in the sense of stability, finances, and possessions.

Altogether in one sentence, these cards read to me as: All talk and no action won’t get you rewarded.
