Gorgeous!
And Ian, the queen of swords in the tarot is not always the nicest chick around. She lives in her head, Look for the queen of cups. She’s heart-based.
I live in my head –
loads of augment –
And making up –
(( :
Just for fun – From the Major Arcana – here is my go at matching the lines of the family – with the cards – down from the top –
Hierophant
Emperor
Empress
Justice
High Priestess
Hermit (me)
( :
Queen of Pentacles – My ideal
A woman of means – Wisdom
And experience –

When I first encountered – Your interpretation of the fifth line – I did not like it – The feeling I have at the present time – is not loving – regarding – The Family – In the inner sense of inner I Ching family – More the King of Swords – The 4 King archetypes of the Tarot – Are all equivalently – Kingly – As a King he approaches his family – The love quality – The emotional quality – Would be more the place of the heart – The fourth line – The Queen of Cups –
Just in a bad mood lately – Need to find my Queen of Cups !
( :
While I appreciate your knowledge of the Tarot, this is the I Ching. And it is only MY meditation on it. I hope you find your queen of Cups.
Maybe the queen of Swords would suit my temperament better
I like all the queens.
A nicely executed set piece – I do feel though – in terms of the Western heart symbolism you have chosen ( Tarot – King of Cups) –
The King of Staves – more appropriate to the ruling line –
Active defence – Fiery principle
The heart – represented by The fourth line – She who makes the house a home – Would be represented by The Queen of Cups –
The treasure of the household
Just for the sake of argument !
( :
Not to disagree with your line of thinking but this line is taking about a king or kingly behavior and also about the heart. Truth be told, I usually can think of several different ways of interpreting a line and is difficult to let go and move on to the next.
