ROSE OF WINDS

Decision

Description:

Now I hold all directions of the light — I am at the center, yet I must choose. To see my true goal, I must calmly recognize my deepest desires and set my priorities.
I know — everything is in my hands. And the first step is to declare my Intention to the world — the next stage of my journey. Then I shall ask myself, to stay honest and clear: What stirs my heart right now? What troubles me, excites me, or warms my belly with curiosity?  And if the answers don’t come easily, I will call upon the elements —  Let them help me reveal what lives within:

On the physical level, may the Earth grant me grounding and support.
May Water cleanse my feelings and fill my heart.
On the mental level, let the Wind set all thoughts free.
On the level of the soul, may the Sacred Fire of desires aligned with the Divine burn brightly, warming me from the cold of forgetfulness.

The heartbeat shall be my compass —  Pure, truthful, and brave. To its rhythm I align all my actions. It has always steered my ship — the Rose of Winds, the Rose of the World — I know it well.
Let fears, failures, and sorrow step aside before the power of pure curiosity. I recognize the sacred value of Choice. Fly, Magic Feather, let the Wind cradle and caress you!  I unite my Will with the Will of the Creator, and begin the Hero’s Path with the actions of my heart.

Guidance:

The time has come to choose your direction.

It is especially important now to become aware of the Intention with which you continue along your Life Path — so that your energy is not scattered in vain.

Ask yourself: What inner power do I wish to awaken? Turn inward — to your body, feelings, thoughts, and soul. Listen closely to your true desires. How can these desires become clear goals? Do not be afraid of their magnitude — divide your larger goals into smaller, actionable steps. Yet keep returning to your Central Desires, reviewing them and asking: Do I still truly want this now?

When clarity comes, speak your intention aloud and write it where you can see it. Let it remind you each day of your chosen direction — your own Rose of Winds.

Numerical value

1 Will. Impulse. Intention.

Description:

1 symbolizes individuality, independence, and the drive to be ahead.  Pure light contains everything within it, but for movement to begin, an impulse, an intention, a Will is required. Essentially, 1 is the active principle, while 0 is passive.  1 is the Creator’s Will to begin the path of self-discovery and the awareness of one’s goals. The Magician knows exactly what he wants — and knows that he already has everything needed to make a choice and move in the right direction. All that is required is intention.
The yellow background of the card (Rider–Waite–Smith Tarot) corresponds to divine light, reminding us that human will must always align with the will of the Creator, not oppose it.
All tens and Aces in the deck also correspond to the number 1. They are the sublimation of the hero’s journey from 1 to 10 (or from 0 to 9). Here, the 10 represents the beginning of a new cycle on a higher level (10 = 1 + 0 = 1).

Conclusion:

1 is a symbol of unity, primacy, and beginning.

It is associated with individuality, leadership, and strength.  In the binary system, 1 is one of the two symbols upon which all digital information is built (0 and 1).
