Tarot does not tell us anything particularly fresh but when it appears it tends to affirm what has gone by when it comes in repeated waves of information.
This card I received early morning but have not had time to put it up. It is the King of Wands reversed. We have seen this before when I described Michael has being grumpy about something and indeed it comes back to us again so I am feeling that there must have been problems that he was not happy with.
Exploring the card again - because I do think this helps us to understand, we can see it is a card of departure and leaving utter chaos in its wake.
Thats what you get with the upright King but we also need to look at reasons why the King would depart like that.
Once more I have this scenario. That Michael may have found himself frustrated over his lack of achievement which resulted from possible excessive changeability. This changeability might have been to do with contracts and not necessarily changes that Michael himself made.
Because of this he would have likely used psychological armor and defenses - insomuch he may not have agreed to things which I have said before and he may haev been afraid to reveal his true self and his real feelings. He may have been pressurised into action with work and for him he needed to take his time in any upcoming agreement before making any final decision. Its possible he did not like to be rushed into decisions but likely was.
This card can tell us that Michael may have had to prepare his mind for a change because his lifestyle can be altered now, as changes may have occurred that may turn the tide of affairs. He would have had to experience a strong focus and directional clarity.
I think of the King of Wands as what perhaps happened and I think its possible Michael may have become disturbed by a situation which had a bad influence on him that may have compromised his qualities that would have made his natural energy encounter obstacles and defeats. But, in this card he does not seem to have lost his force - and if anything his experiences him to become tempered and more understanding of others.
He easily recognized the people who were being intolerant and strict in their manner especially the people who might have been opposing him. This would have made him very receptive to indications of a disagreement or dispute and be the first to withdraw.
He would have been feeling uneasy and clearly unsure that where work was concerned that all the facts were correct. He knew that nobody had the right to be aggressive with him in any way. He also know that he wanted to stand firm about his ownself and his own assertiveniess would have told him that he knew what he wanted and had an inspired vision of what he wanted and did not want to be held back.
I have seen in this card a buisiness colleague person or even persons that were not working to Michaels wishes and I do see that caused a tremendous problem.
Sometimes we think of Michael with all these people around him but he can lose his temper himself - maybe its not something we see him doing very often but when he is adamant about something then he will stomp his foot down.
When people dont do or dont help in the way they should in business and work and when the only way to beat the aggression is to stand back - then perhaps thats why we have the disappearing nature of this king above.
It all makes perfect sense to me. There is absolute chaos left in the air about MJ vanishing from everyone, but dont forget how charismatic this King is. He is a doer and a creator and if people are going to push and shove him it reminds me about the phrase 'when its too hot - get out of the kitchen' well too many cooks in Michaels work can be a little too much. He wants his own creations not other peoples ideas of what they want him to do.
This card sits next to the Ace of Wands in the next card along and the Ace of Wands is often linked to the MAYPOLE - I take it that this all blew up in May personally - and I also think about the Queen of Wands before the King who is the showstopper that when they walk into the room - they light up the place. Well I see MJ as that too.
Considering the King of Wands comes between those two cards - I think Michael might have decided once and for all that he IS VERY important to people and to fans - and he does have that side that can be ruthless in getting what he wants. Dont mistake MJ in any way - he was/is very competative and though that is not a surface trait it runs underneath him. He did not get credit the way he should have done for all the years he put in. I like his karmic backslaps and a little sting in those is going to go a long way.
So this card which I have seen before and see again early morning tells me that Michael was not going to be bullied despite the fact that he MUST have faced some kind of aggressive work situtation.
We have seen all this as I said before but its always worth mentioning because it appears to be WHAT happened. It will work out for the best it will - and my fingers are crossed on that.
Just want to say also that in the early tarot I did see 'compromises' having to be made - Im not sure whether Michael agreed to those or not. Maybe I should backtrack and have a look at some of my other tarot.
