GEMINI 8/9 A QUIVER FILLED WITH ARROWS

The complete wording is: A MEDIEVAL ARCHER STANDS WITH THE EASE OF ONE WHOLLY SURE OF HIMSELF, BOW IN HAND, HIS QUIVER FILLED WITH ARROWS.

It’s about Self-Mastery, skillfulness, and preparedness. In general when this symbol comes up you may want to be especially mindful in all relationships, and watch your words and your thoughts. This is about mastery of your thoughts, communication, and the mind in general. You want the mind to serve you, not the other way around.

This symbol may show up when you need to confront a difficult situation or an unavoidable conversation. It urges you to be prepared, have your script ready, and know what you are dealing with and from different viewpoints. Know the terrain.

If you are going after a specific goal, you may want to act with precision and delicacy, and a sure aim. No “winging it” is possible with this degree.

You may also want to ask yourself what these arrows represent for you.

Contemplating this degree today, I got a clear message that they could represent qualities such as faith, devotion, and wisdom. Indeed I’d like to understand this symbol more so as a sign to be prepared, have clarity, the certainty of what you want, and the wisdom to handle it when you actually achieve your goal, beforehand, that way you can be at ease knowing that you have divine support.

I like to always preface anything I do to achieve a certain goal with “Yes if it is Your will.” It puts me at ease, knowing that whatever is supposed to happen will happen, all I can do is be the best vessel or channel for the situation. I prepare, I set the stage, and go into position, but the “shooting” is done through me, I am not doing it.

Visualize yourself in the situation you are inquiring about, you are the archer. How do you feel? Do you have the necessary skill, precision, and clarity?

Proactive confrontation, Mindfulness, Self-mastery, being clear and precise in your words, thoughts, and deeds, being at ease, knowing what you want and how to get it, calculating, risk assessment, allowing a higher power to shoot the arrows, not relying on luck, not shooting from the hip, not being spontaneous.
