Mines in. (R & B one) For me it reperesents nodes of high magical energy about to occur. What this means is modified by the reading and cards in aspects. For example it could be surrounded by 'good' cards and Wheel of Fortune etc, magical energy is about to manifest in x way.
If there seems to be great problems the card can suggest a magical solution. The hexagram is a ritual mnemonic device used to banish and invoke planetary energies, a magican, even with a bad aspected Saturn (eg) theoretically can deal with that by the first formula, banishing Saturn, or the second, invoking and balancing or anihilating it via mergence (love).
Somethimes the card seems to be saying, well, if you are a magician, why are you in this situation DO something about it. or it might be reminding you or revealing to you that you ARE a magican and CAN take control of the energies.
The pattern means that it is a novel new way of casting or drawing the pentagram. casting GD Hexagrams (based on the Star of David hexagram) are a bit wierd to cast in ritual situations, the unicursal is all in one line and easier and clearer.
I love red and black. Black is the color of infinate space and night and the possibiltiy of all potential, red is the color of blood, life and activity, put them together and you have everything. They are also the colors of Horus.
Yeah, whack it back in ... at least for a time ... and see what happens.
