Part 7 (FINALE) of The Venus Split Framework: The 4 of Swords (Jupiter/10 = Reason, Success, Aspiration) reveals the karma card - the Wheel turns whether you do the work or not. This 27-minute conclusion explores recovery through reason and understanding, why Jupiter's growth and expansion requires leaving The Hierophant's comfort behind, and the hard truth: just because you make it to rest doesn't mean you're doing the work to understand - which is why people stay stuck. Learn how this pattern applies universally to relationships, jobs, friendships, places, and addictions. The core insights: 'Comfort is a great feeling but terrible for growth.' 'The only way justice can prevail is blindly.' 'Karma will come whether you do the work or not.' Final question: Will you aspire to grow, or just rest in bitterness? The Wheel doesn't care - it turns either way. Complete series from the 2-hour conversation between Paul and Tarot360astrology.

Takeaways:

• The Four of Swords signifies a necessary period of rest and recovery following emotional turmoil, indicating that understanding the lessons from our experiences is crucial for personal growth.
• Jupiter, as the ruling planet of the Four of Swords, emphasizes that growth and expansion cannot occur while remaining ensconced in the comfort of traditional structures represented by The Hierophant.
• The cyclical nature of karma is unyielding; it will manifest regardless of our willingness to engage in self-reflection or personal development.
• Comfort can be alluring, yet it often hinders growth; the pursuit of understanding and justice requires boldness to abandon complacency and embrace the discomfort of change.

#astrologyrideoftheday

The heartbreak and the Saturn and all of that from the three of swords pushes us to the four swords.

It forces the four swords after the betrayal and the loss and all of that.

And the four swords that deacon is ruled by Jupiter.

And Jupiter is the wheel of fortune.

Jupiter is the 10th card and 10 is Reason, Success and Aspiration.

The Four of Swords.

The picture is a figure rests in a sacred place.

Three gray swords point downward.

A fourth sword is embedded below shaded in yellow.

Hope and illness.

Keywords for it is repost, recovery and illness.

This is the karmic recovery.

The wheel of fortune Jupiter show shows this pain was part of a cycle.

The wheel of fortune is a wheel.

What goes around comes around.

The truth about karma will come whether you do the work or not, you will get what's coming to you.

You think you could dodge karma and you know what I mean.

Go around karma.

Oh karma gonna catch your ass.

The wheel of Fortune 10 turns regardless if you ready or not.

And it's not an option.

Now there is a difference with karma.

If you do the work, use reason to understand.

You learn as in you learn the lesson, you aspire to grow, you break the pattern.

So when it comes to you, the people who do the work, your karma actually elevates you.

But for the people, if you don't do the work, you choose to stay stuck in the womb.

You don't try to figure out, don't try to understand the why things happen.

Karma repeats the lesson what's that mean?

You gotta take your ass back to the five of pentacles, deal with the six of pentacles, deal with the seven of pentacles, come back to the two of swords, come back to the three of swords to come back to the four swords again and you stay on that goddamn wheel.

Jupiter represents growth and expansion which you cannot do stuck in the hierophant.

To truly expand Jupiter wheel of fortune requires leaving the comfort of the hierophant.

Remember hierophant 5 marriage.

You gotta divorce the hierophant which after you do that recovery through reason and understanding 10 as in after you break up and divorce, you got to take time to rest and recover to understand.

The mind now comprehends what the heart couldn't see success 10 in accepting what had to be aspirations 10 toward healing.

You gotta want to heal the completed cycle.

10 the pain to wisdom.

That's all.

If you do the work, just because someone makes makes it to the four swords, the rest doesn't mean they're doing the work.

To understand why this happened which could be why they stay stuck.

A lot of people are cool with where they at and it's okay.

Hey, you could be cool.

But is it cool to be cool with where you at?

And instead of complain, complain to people around you about where you at.

They get to the force four swords and become comfortable complainers.

Knowing why they're stuck but not actually wanting to change.

They understand the karma, the reason, but don't aspire beyond that karma.

Beyond that reason, rest becomes permanent.

Let's just sit down on the couch and start eating popcorn and bon bons.

And they find a new form of the hierophant to marry pleasure and joy in being the victim.

Woe is me marry to the complaint.

Oh, the reason I can't do this is because this, that.

But it don't matter because the wheel keeps turning.

Jupiter brings what you've earned.

You don't escape karma.

Karma is universal law.

The only choice is whether you understand it, the reason why, or you use it to grow or to stay blind and let it drag you through the same cycle again and again and again.

Karma patterns is recovery and understanding.

If you do the work, the wheel has to turn.

The pain was necessary.

It was.

It was necessary for you to get the wisdom.

What you tolerated in the pentacles karmically led to the sword's pain.

Rest before the cycle begins again or stay stuck in the victim position.

If you don't do the work.

Back to don't doing the work.

Wheel of fortune turns either way and it brings you what you earn.

If you ain't do the work, what did you earn?

This isn't just about rest.

It's about understanding why the wheel has to turn.

The karma you accumulated in the pinnacles, those mental gains, the emotional manipulation you were doing, staying stuck in comfortable places, caught up to your ass in the swords.

The four swords is recognizing the cycle, accepting the lessons and choosing whether to aspire beyond it or stay comfortable in suffering after the heartbreak.

Understanding this had to happen.

The relationship you stayed in for comfort ultimately taught you through pain.

Reason reveals the pattern.

Will you aspire to grow or just rest in bitterness?

The wheel doesn't care.

It will turn either way.

So how does this look?

Impulsive mind.

Five of pentacles leads to emotional manipulation.

Six of pentacles we which leads to stagnation and abundance.

Seven of pentacles which blocks emotional paralysis.

Two of swords.

You can't make a decision which leads to karmic breakups.

Three of swords which leads to recovery and repeat the choice.

Four swords.

The Mind and emotions in the material realm.

Pinnacles blocks emotions in the realm.

Real relational realm.

Swords forcing karma to deliver the lesson through pain.

And the wheel just keeps on turning.

Big wheels keep on turning.

Rolling, rolling.

I think Proud Mary follows in those lyrics there.

But thank you for that ear bleeding blistering rendition you were supposed to come with.

Great barbershop quartet with two people.

You did mention earlier about the victim card.

I. I did want to point out to people listening, the victim card is not one of the cards in the tarot deck.

The victim card is not one of the cards in the tarot deck.

Just a public psa, public service announcement.

But that may be a card in a wallet of the purse.

Oh it is.

It's a.

A lot of people are a card carrying member.

You're right about that.

And the four of swords here you've mentioned about numerous times.

The wheel will keep turning and it will.

The.

The wheel turns regardless.

It's whether you choose to grow with it or are you going to keep repeating the pattern that four of swords influenced ruled by Jupiter there, which is about the growth and expansion that you spoke about.

And that four swords is about rest and reflection and understanding or insight that you've ascertained or developed.

And either you integrate the lesson or lessons or you settle into the victimhood mentality or the victim mentality and repeat the cycle because that's what it would be, repetitious action when you did nothing to change it.

So if it's turmoil or agony just going to repeat itself because there wasn't any growth or healing that occurred.

And it's interesting, the four of swords is sort of the most dangerous card in the sequence here with this two of swords and the three here.

Because rest can promote stagnation and some people reflect, integrate and grow and others build identity around suffering.

A lot of times people understand the pattern, but they do nothing about it to change the pattern.

They don't take action to affect change.

And to wheel of Fortune doesn't care which one you choose because it will keep on rotating.

And do you want a cycle of chaos because Saturn actually there's rules with that and restriction at play, but there's also completion as well.

And we're talking about the wheel of fortune with which is the growth.

So have you learned anything from lessons you were taught with that three of swords that will help you break the pattern of turmoil that you've been accustomed to or that you've become comfortable with?

This has been kind of, you know, drawn out.

I know where we started out at Elements and we way deep in the woods.

We, we done brought y' all down to the bottom of the sea.

Now let's try to swim back on up a little bit.

Tyro, you think it's time to get them back to the surface?

You think they might be drowning in this info?

Yes.

I would tend to agree with you.

All right, you.

But in the beginning, you did say some people like to go deep.

Yeah.

So this would be the Cliff Notes version of what we talked about since from the beginning.

So we talked about the.

The elements and then we talked about the empress, which is Venus.

And Venus represents our desires and values.

What we want, what we love, what we find beautiful.

Venus splits into two expressions.

Taurus, the hierophant.

And Taurus is earth feminine.

And Taurus seeks comfort through tradition and material stability.

Libra.

It also splits into Libra, which is justice and air.

And it's masculine.

And it.

And Libra seeks fairness through detached impartiality.

The hierophant could creates traditions and structures that initially serve us.

Over time, these traditions calcify into hierarchies and social injustice.

Visible in the six of Pentacles.

We stay stuck through mental justification.

Mercury, five of Pentacles.

Emotional manipulation.

Moon, six of Pentacles.

Comfort seeking.

Saturn, seven of Pentacles.

This blocks our clarity in relationship and life.

Can't access intuition.

Moon High priestess two of swords.

Blinded by material concerns.

Paralyzed by the choice between comfort and growth.

Justice must intervene blindly.

You cannot, cannot consider comfort, tradition or status.

You only can weigh the scales.

What is fair.

Now this feels unfair, but it's objectively correct.

Karma does delivers the lesson through pain.

Saturn, the world.

Three of three of swords.

Heartbreak, loss.

The painful truth emerges.

No pain, no gain.

Growth requires discomfort.

The pain we avoid by staying comfortable catches up to us.

And that.

And at that point, the wheel must turn.

Jupiter, the wheel of Fortune.

Four of swords.

Understanding this was necessary recovery and integration preparation for the next cycle.

Venus wants comfort and fairness.

But sometimes you can't have both.

Sometimes fairness requires destroying your comfort.

And sometimes growth requires pain.

Sometimes the only way justice can prevail is blindly ignoring the hierophant's pleas to maintain the tradition and the comfort.

The hierophant's comfort keeps us stuck.

Justice's discomfort forces evolution.

Traditions, after a while create these hierarchies.

But at some point, social injustice, what starts as helpful structure, becomes oppressive systems.

The six of Pentacles reveals this.

The only way justice can prevail is has to be blindly.

Justice cannot be influenced by comfort, tradition or status, she must separate consciousness, the curtain, and weigh only what is fair.

The two, three and four of swords sequence shows that growth requires difficult choices.

Two of swords, painful lessons.

Three of swords, karmic understanding.

Four swords.

The mind and emotions in the material realm get blocked.

Emotions in the relational realm forcing karma to deliver lessons.

The pinnacles create the conditions, the swords experience the consequences.

The will keeps turning.

Yeah, all of that really ties it together.

And Venus doesn't.

It's not asking you to reject comfort, it's asking you not to worship it.

There's a big difference between the two of them and the hierophant.

Wait, wait, what's the difference?

What's the difference?

What do you mean by worshiping comfort?

What do you mean by that?

Well, there's different layers of comfortability.

And somebody we talked about earlier about people saying you owe me, you know, maybe you're providing financial comfort or even emotional.

Maybe that person is unbalanced and you're providing that stability and they're not really indulged in any kind of shadow work.

We talked about shadow aspects and cards being reversed with other meanings as well.

And you're, you're there as the sustenance for them.

It could be.

We talked about the slow death earlier also.

And it could be that person being in a very weak or subservient position over you.

And you there could be.

Well, we spoke, you spoke about manipulation also emotional manipulation at play there from a financial perspective, from that comfortability that they're accustomed to.

And knowing your value going back to that Taurus with your self worth is going to enable you not to bow down or embrace toxicity because you would have more clarity if we take that blindfold off with that justice and that comfort can block growth.

But justice has to win because imbalance cannot sustain itself forever.

That's not a philosophical statement, that's actual physics.

It's a fact.

So the hierophant keeps us alive and justice helps us become whole with equality being balanced.

So you can be okay embracing comfortability, but don't be consumed by it because you could lose your own self worth or value if you focus on material things going to Taurus again, materialistic things, Pentacles is about money actually as well finances and materialistic things.

So don't be consumed and overwhelmed with that and realize what actually matters and what you choose to accept as compared to what you choose to reject.

Comfort delays truth.

Also wanted to point that out again.

We spoke about that earlier.

And that truth can arrive as pain and that Pain can force growth.

We talked about that wheel of fortune, that Jupiter, growth and expansion, or repetition?

That pain can force repetition.

If you stagnate, if you don't want to grow or evolve, could you say

they stay stuck on the hamster wheel?

They keep putting their time and energy into having that wheel spinning instead of making a stop so that they can exit the wheel.

All right, well, you know what?

We just went over y'.

All.

And is actually the framework and mechanics of transformation why we stay stuck.

Hierophant, pentacles, comfort.

How we tend to justify it.

Mercury, moon, mental and emotional blocks.

What forces us to change.

Justice, Swords, painful truth.

Why this whole situation had to happen.

Wheel of fortune, karmic cycles.

Venus is split between her two expressions.

And we must navigate this tension.

Do we choose comfort?

Taurus, hierophant, Earth pinnacles.

Or do we choose growth?

Libra, justice, air sword.

What's the answer?

The answer is both are necessary.

The hierophant provides structure and stability we need to survive.

Justice provides the fairness and evolution we need to thrive.

But when comfort blocks growth, justice must prevail blindly, even when it hurts.

The tarot, if you laid it out, shows us this pattern in the cars themselves.

Layer upon layer, from cosmic principle down to lived experience.

You know, they say, as above, so below.

And this applies to people, places and things.

This is the universal pattern of how we grow.

Any final words, tarot, about this subject or.

And tell the people how to get your thing?

Yeah, it was very comprehensive, following everything here that we spoke about and analyzing everything.

And I guess I would say growth isn't gentle all the times, it's precise.

And once you understand the cycle, you can stop questioning, why did this happen to me?

And you should start asking, why did I ignore the imbalance?

Because that wheel of fortune was never punishing you.

It was finishing a lesson you refused to complete, actually.

All right.
