Knight of Pentacles

Things right now might seem rather tedious and uninspiring, but you're working steadily toward an important goal you've set, despite your current lack of enthusiasm. You should consider taking a little time off to rest and enjoy your life outside of your hard work. You may be thinking that whatever it is your heart desires is taking far longer than you'd like it to, but that's okay. We all know that "slow and steady wins the race" and this circumstance is no different. You have the capacity to work long and hard to attain your goals and if you continue to persevere, this is exactly what you will achieve.

Seven of Pentacles

It's time to take stock about what is going on with your life. You're undecided whether or not to continue working towards a personal goal or whether to abandon it and begin something completely new. Things may be incredibly challenging right now, but don't be disheartened by any current setbacks or difficulties. Persistence, especially when things get tough, is a very important quality. If you stay the course, you will succeed at what you have been attempting. You may be feeling very frustrated right now, but remember to keep your focus and eventually you'll be a success.

Five of Swords

You need to accept the reality of things as they are right now. You have certain blocks and constrictions that are holding you back and until you accept these limitations, you will never be able to move forward. It can be a very difficult thing to accept defeat and even swallow your pride, but this is exactly what you need to do right now. Attempting to use any sort of force to make things happen as you wish them to will not work and may actually make things even more difficult. These problems may be caused by a dominant person trying to control you. You need to step backwards and realize that there is little you can control in this situation and that asserting yourself is useless as the forces you're up against are far stronger than you are. Face your limitations with grace and move on.

Five of Wands

Expect a trying time ahead full of lots of little irritations, frustrations and possibly arguments with those close to you. All the hard work you've been undertaking of late may be hindered by delays or misunderstandings. These troubles will be time-consuming and difficult, but they won't be impossible to surmount provided you keep your goals in sight and don't lose heart. A few compromises may be the easiest way to keep the peace and resolve these tricky little situations. Trouble isn't always trouble with a capital T, but it can still be challenging. Although your troubles may not be especially serious, nor long-term, you're still going to need to find a way to deal with them effectively and be assured you do have the resources and energy to tackle them successfully.

Page of Swords

You soon will have to make a careful decision that will require a clear and level head. You may have someone spreading unflattering (and untrue) rumors about you that will complicate your circumstances, so it will be important to know who you can and cannot trust in regards to this situation. It's imperative that you're able to maintain a proper sense of perspective as well, so as not to let your mind get carried away with everything going on. Never jump to conclusions without first thinking everything through thoroughly and learning as many details as you are able.

Regardless of whether or not you find yourself in the midst of chaos, you are mentally restless right now and are eagerly searching for something to stimulate your senses. You're looking for a fresh start that will leave you feeling more alert, versatile and intelligent.

In the Merry Day deck many of the cards use mythical creatures as symbols on the cards. In this deck, the Page of Swords is depicted as the Greek winged divine horse, Pegasus.

Ace of Wands and The Chariot

Card One. What You Wish For. Ace of Wands. You have a dream to take your creative and artistic ideas and make them lucrative, perhaps in some sort of innovative endeavor. You're on the threshold of a new beginning and your desire to make your goals manifest is very strong. If you listen to your intuition, you may experience a sudden breakthrough in just how to make your dream a reality. Despite your surge of energy and enthusiasm, it's imperative that you stay grounded. Acting impulsively is the worst thing you can do. Take your time and your aspirations can be a success.

Card Two. What You Are Being Given. The Chariot. You have the energy to pursue your desires and to fight for what is important to you. This means that right now your wishes and your circumstances are in synch and the time is ripe to achieve your goals. Don't be fooled into thinking this will be an easy undertaking, as it won't. Nothing truly worthwhile is ever simple to acquire. You're going to find yourself caught in a conflict that will need to be dealt with before your plans can move forward. The struggle is not necessarily from an outside force. This conflict may in fact be an internal one as you grapple with the fears and insecurities you're feeling in regards to the work ahead of you. But whether it be an external or an internal struggle, remember that you have the confidence and the belief in yourself to find the solutions you need in order to succeed. Ultimately, you can cope with any difficulties and if you persist, you will succeed in achieving not only your dearest wishes, but in gaining valuable wisdom as well.
