(+,-) KNIGHTS' VECTOR
Discernment Under Motion

Taurus • Cancer • Sagittarius

PREFACE

This lunation places Taurus, Cancer, and Sagittarius in the Knights' Court, where movement remains active and discernment determines its direction. Decisions continue to propagate through the system, and energy is already committed. The work of this phase concerns the contents of that momentum.

The Knights' vector governs decisive motion under clarification. Action advances while interpretation updates in real time. What passes forward from this phase depends on what survives inspection while the system stays in motion.

THE GOVERNING FIELD

Queen of Swords (Upright)

The Queen of Swords functions as the regulating intelligence of this vector. It establishes precision as the standard for continuation-- Affective Interpretation is callibrated to a state Effective Clarity; Emotional charge loses steering authority, and only that which withstands direct and honest articulation remains operative.

The presence of this influencesets the condition that discernment operates independently of comfort, loyalty, or narrative coherence. Truth persists through exposure-- whereas anything unable to be cleanly metabolized into decisive clarity loses validity of influence.

THE ACTIVE STANCE

Seven of Wands (Upright)

The Seven of Wands indicates an asserted position already in effect. Energy is being spent to maintain ground. The stance exists because it has passed through confrontation and remains structurally intact.

In this vector, the Seven of Wands mobilizes willpower in service of integrity. Effort concentrates around what proves accurate under pressure. Defense aligns with clarity rather than reaction.

THE PRESSURE POINT

Seven of Cups (Reversed) + Knight of Cups (Reversed)

The Seven of Cups reversed reveals the collapse of fantasy structures. The field narrows. Viable options emerge through subtraction rather than expansion.

The Knight of Cups reversed carries residual affective momentum. Emotional propulsion persists beyond contextual change: longing, disappointment, devotion, or guilt continue to push motion forward without recalibration.

Together, these cards describe movement driven by outdated interpretive payloads. Momentum remains real-- however its contents require careful and deliberate inspection.

DISCERNMENT IN PRACTICE

Discernment in the Knights' vector operates through payload inspection. Emotional signals register as data points. Interpretations undergo filtration before directing action.

The Queen of Swords governs this process by enforcing clarity at the interface. The Seven of Wands applies will only after evaluation. What advances from this phase aligns with present conditions rather than inherited momentum.

SYSTEM SUMMARY

This lunation passes through an active clarification phase: Motion continues while interpretation updates, structural truth stabilizes position, and emotional inertia loses command authority.

• The Queen of Swords maintains precision.
• The Seven of Wands mobilizes vetted ground.
• The Seven of Cups reversed clears illusion.
• The Knight of Cups reversed exposes residual propulsion.

For Taurus, Cancer, and Sagittarius, advancement stabilizes once momentum carries only what can survive the unabridged process of clarification.
