Phoenix Rising	12 Feb 2005
I did a reading for a friend of a friend a few months ago. And I remember in her long term future the 3 swords. Everything around her near future, had travel and new relationship. Which transpired, she went for a holiday overseas, and got into a new relationship. So everything else was rosy, except that horrid 3 swords standing out all on it's own. She did say at the time "Does that mean my long term future is going to be sad and disappointing? Today I read in the local newspaper of a stabbing of a receptionist, who was stabbed 3 times. The receptionist was the girl I did the reading for above. The day she was stabbed was governed by Ace of spade(sword). So literally that 3 swords was the stabbing. I forgot about that reading until i read it. The other connection, her friend who is mine, I also did a reading for and the 3 swords came up in her reading as the future also, they work in the same office and she witnessed the stabbing. As far as I know, the young woman is in hospital and is recovering well, but faces long term psychological help. It has been a unusual week. The other night, actually the same day. A stolen car crashed into a powerpole only 100m from my home, 3 teenage girls and they ran from the scene. Also 2 other stolen vehicles in different areas also crashed into a powerpole. And Just around the corner where I live, a car crashed into the river off a bridge. So what is up at the moment?

Phoenix Rising I've been thinking about your post before replying, and not really knowing what to say. I have not seen stabbing (in the physical sense) in this card before but I can see now that it exactly matches the events that you mention. I wish her a speedy recovery but as you say there are further implications even after the physical wounds have healed. How dreadful. I can see that it would also shake you up quite a bit too. As for the other events, perhaps there was alot of turbulent energy about that day. But why?

An unusual week indeed... Stabbings here too: (and 3 times at that!!!) A mother went to pick up her children at her ex-husband's, accompanied by her new boyfriend. At the doorstep, the ex-husband attacked and hit the mother, and when the boyfriend intervened, he got stabbed three times... Car accidents: On Wednesday, when I came back from teaching, there was a traffic jam, people kept turning around in the street and got back to where they came from. I remember thinking, well, they are impatient! and then, when I arrived at the spot, I saw the road had been closed because of an accident where one car was lying on its side, it was full of police and ambulances etc... so they made people turn around and find another way into town. We've had several aggressive drunks.... And several incidents where police shooting was involved: One was a drug dealer, the policeman shot in the air, luckily the dealer was impressed and gave up. The other one was a stolen car racing away from the police at 200 km/h over the highway. The police tried to shoot into the tyres, missed, the car crossed the border to France and shortly after the border, crashed, causing traffic jams due to clean-up and repairs all day... So, what is up at the moment???

Oh and I forgot to mention the armed defenders were called out, at my brother in laws girlfriends street, for drugs, and a young girl was sexually assaulted and the 111(911) operator told her to walk to the police station, around the corner! So a unusual week, must check out the astrology forum and see what's going down.

Wow Phoenix that was a literal and scary meaning of the three of swords. That poor woman, I hope she will recover and will also manage to get some peace. I haven't heard about many unusual things going on here - last week it was Carnaval and usually there are some minor incidents. Many people drink way too much, but there are also many police testing drivers on alcohol. Someone knicked the mirror off my car - which is annoying but not the worst that can happen. Maybe the weather also makes people more agitated. It is storming here now (storm and rain and dark skies - I love it) When animals and children are acting wild people often say "there must be a storm on its way". Maybe people also react on the approach of a storm by acting more wildly but often in a less innocent way unfortunately.

Hmm, maybe that explains the two things yesterday--a car tried to turn & cross 2 lanes of traffic, then stopped at the last second blocking one lane, I was on the right, but the entire string of cars on my left side had to come to a screeching halt to avoid hitting the idiot. Then 100 feet further two kids started crossing the road against the light (with me and about 14 other cars coming right at them), turned in the middle of the road & started talking to the girls they'd left at the corner.... I blared the horn and had my foot on the brakes, but it was 2 lanes of traffic moving at them and that could have been a major accident. The kids finished running across the road before we got to them.

Just curious Phoenix Rising-were there any cards that would point to being alone, or a fight such as 5 of swords or 2 of swords? Is there anyway you could piece together being alone and being stabbed? If i got a reading where the 5 of swords/10 swords and 3 were together or covering, i wouldve been like: watch your back and dont go down dark streets or be alone. I think the ace of swords was an interesting card since it is 'alone'. Please dont think im trying to say you shouldve done something!! Even if you knew you wouldnt say she was going to be harmed, i just wanted to know if there were other cards that would combine to mean something larger than themselves.

Hi rainwolf I just found the reading on my computor that i did for her, which i had saved in my sent items folder, hers was actually the only one I saved. I did the CC spread here are the positions.: Hidden Influences: Queen swords(the stabber) Outside Influences: Death Near Future: World Long term future: 3 swords Suggested Action: Knight of swords(young man who came to her assistance) Outcome: Empress Also she wasn't alone, she was in a office with 15 staff, it was a open plan room, and had clients. The stabber a woman had a mental problem, it was a social welfare office, the woman reached over, and stabbed her neck, shoulder and arm with a steak knife, one of the young office men ran to her assistance and he was also stabbed in the arm. So as you can see by the cards, it pretty much indicates what happened, looking back at it, but who would of guessed that this was going to happen? So many possibilities. They are all recovering well. Indicated by the Empress!
