1 WARRIOR

Aggression, achievement, conquest, masculine power, energy for new beginnings, confrontation.

Aries/Mars.

Warrior.

The image shows a warrior in simple clothing with a gladiator's sword and shield in his hands. He runs along a deserted road, leaving behind a destroyed city and people he has killed. The warrior moves forward despite everything - there is no road back.

The card is dominated by red color with almost no half-tones, indicating uncompromising nature and maximalism. The warrior's image symbolizes the active masculine principle, corresponding to impulsiveness, active self-assertion, unconscious aggression, and challenge.

Simple clothes indicate that the person is obsessed, straightforward, uncomplicated and simple in their expression. They are unlikely to write poetry or be interested in the latest cultural news. The gladiator sword points to an inability to make complex strategic moves.

Often they act in a state of affect. They try to solve problems with sharp actions. They must have the last word. Self-assertion is their sore spot. Therefore, they may flare up if they suspect disrespect or mockery.

This is a fighter, a rebel. They know no mercy, attack first and are not afraid to perish: win or die! The shield in their hand has an aggressive face - aggression as a way of defense. Their motto: 'The best defense is offense.'

Being cornered makes them want to break free at any cost. In this case, aggression is caused by fear or hopelessness. A Gordian knot situation. The fluttering cloak represents inconstancy. A sexual young person who may be aggressive in sex.

This card always indicates high intellectual potential that can be used for 'peaceful' purposes.

May mean 'woe from wit' in one form or another - the person aggressively fights for their truth, thereby repelling surrounding people and making enemies.

This is a state of activity, a rise of inner forces. In the worst manifestation, the person will conflict with everyone; in the best case, they will try to direct energy into a peaceful channel. In any case, it's a storm of emotions and energy.

If they suppress these forces within themselves, the reverse side of Mars (auto-aggression) will manifest, which can lead to injuries on the physical plane: fractures, bruises, burns, etc.

This is a day of activity, a rise of inner forces. On this day, it's important for you to show initiative, act by trial and error. Self-assertion is necessary.

Most importantly, understand that anger and aggression do not lead to results, but only deplete you energetically.

Today is a suitable day to learn to control your emotions and energy.

It's necessary to learn to direct it into peaceful channels.

They expect initiative and action from you without delay or procrastination. But still - if the need arises to make a decision, don't act hastily.

Conquest, defense. Striving to give outlet to energy, to be first and only. Action for action's sake. Actions are spontaneous. 'When you chop wood, chips fly.'

Desire for independence: 'I know everything,' 'Don't teach me how to live, get out of my way, I'll handle everything myself.'

A state of being filled with energy. The person is ready to act; it's very important for them to declare themselves (maybe even bang their fist on the table).

They're not afraid to enter conflict, eager for battle: 'peace is only a dream for us.'

Turbulent, impulsive, but short-lived.

Very intensely flowing, turbulent, sexually vividly colored. African passions, conquest. Jealousy. At the same time, relationships are unstable. The person is ready to change partners. A person who doesn't know how to adapt to a partner and prefers to escalate relationships.

Therefore, there are often turbulent conflicts in such relationships. The theme of leadership is traced in these relationships. Since the card is masculine, an important role in considering relationships is given to the man. Striving to be a leader, another person's opinion is not taken into account.

Competition.

'Don't burn bridges without knowing the ford.' Before entering a situation, think about how you'll get out of it. Haste in actions and lack of consideration can lead to sad consequences.

Act openly, directly, quickly, without delay. Be first. Fight for victory. 'Delay is akin to death.'

Victory, but not long-lasting - temporary. If a person tries to defend their point of view, they will insist on it. If they strive to outpace someone or something, they will successfully outpace. If they want to capture something, they will capture it.

Heated atmosphere. Pioneer, much strength, activity, decisiveness. Openness, optimism, thirst for adventure. The card typically symbolizes a young person at the beginning of their career: they want to show themselves and others what they're capable of.

Often this is a 'chess player' who sees any situation only as an opportunity to outplay an opponent, and even better - to achieve a brilliant victory over them. But, alas, a close person may find themselves in the role of 'opponent.'
