The standing figure is the Son of Stones.  He is the grand orator.  Behind him are three large marble representations of the world.  Behind the worlds are two large pillars hinting at government and society.  Between the pillars is a large mantel showing strength and architecture.  The megaphones above his head show the ability to speak and be heard in many different ways.  The rays coming from his chest show that his intent is coming from his heart.  Before the son of stones are five figures in robes.  Each figure is a color of the rainbow.  This is to show that he speaks for a spectrum of people.  He speaks for the disenfranchised.  The number five in the Tarot is a troubled number.  The Son of Stones helps this number move toward solution.  Before each figure is a gold ring.  The rings indicate the transition from problems to solutions.  In the foreground we see a number of hidden creatures.  On the right we see an eagle, and on the left a bull.  The Son is stubborn and powerful, but has a spirit that flies high with noble intent.
Face up Meaning: A person of noble intent.  Practical and patient.  Gets results from his hard work.  He is clever and intelligent.  Someone who is gifted with words.  An advocate for the disenfranchised.  Making difficult situations easy to understand  empathetic.  Working for the betterment of society.  Truly believes in liberty and justice for all.  Is an advocate for equal protection under the law.  A talented orator.  Would be a great lawyer.  Someone who will never give up the good fight.  Believing that things can change for the better.  Believing in the best in people.  Knowing that the young, the old, and the weak need protection from the strong.  Taking full responsibility for one’s life.

Reversed Meaning: Corrupt politician.  Uncaring.  Inertia.  Lack of ambition.  Believing that things only get worse over time.  Advocating the worst in others and arguing that things never change.  Having a narrow mind.  Losing a job or project.  Not profiting, but instead breaking even  lack of confidence.  Depression.  Feeling distant from other people.  Lack of perspective.  Dogmatic views.  Lazy.

Message for the day: Reach out and help those in need.  Try to be a voice for those who cannot speak.  This would be a great day to visit the animal shelter, donate some food items to them and/or a food pantry.  Clean out your closet and offer some warmth and love to those less fortunate than us.  This is also a good time to take a look at solutions to the problems you are experiencing in your life.  If your ill, speak to a doctor; if you are stuck in a rut, speak to a school…don’t let your current problems hold you back from moving forward, the pathway is opening, it is up to you to move forward.

Blessed Be
