You are seeking grater harmony and connection in your life and relationships. You have been envisioning beautiful harmony but instead have found that you feel disconnected and disengaged from the people and world around you. Every time you try to connect, some happens that ends up leaving more distance and frustration. You may feel disappointed by what is around you and relationships you are in. You might want to check your expectations and make sure that they are realistic Know that life is a flow of highs and lows, things won’t be spectacular all the time. If you find that your expectations are reasonable, maybe this disconnect feeling is your intuition telling you that it is time to move on from this. It is no longer serving you and doesn’t align with your path. It sucks but you might be being nudged to let this go. This is a call to take a step back and move your attention inward. Examine you life and your goals. Are you moving forward toward your goals as planned? Are there obstacles? In your relationships, how do they make you feel? Are they really for you? Are you really for them? What does an ideal relationship look like for you? What does your ideal life look like? Does everything align and are they moving forward together? Are you living according to your own values or have you lost sight of yourself a bit? Look at what is working in your life and put in the energy to draw more of this positivity toward you. Then look at what is not working and be prepared to let it go. You have to release before you can receive but you want to be clear on what it is that you want to receive before you call it in or you risk more disconnect and misalignment. So get very clear on what it is that you want and where you are headed. You are really moving out of this lost and chaotic feelings that you have been surviving in. You will find that as you get clear on what you want for you, you will see what needs to be done and what relationships are really worth your time and energy. Reconnect with your family and those making a clear effort to be present and are supporting you on your journey. You are creating a life of abundance, love, and happiness. You are bringing your dreams into reality. Don’t allow those who are not for you or supporting you to distract you and drag you away from your path. Follow your heart and trust you intuition to guide you. When something is really lighting you up, do more of it. If it feels off and not quite right, do less of it. Fill your cup with light and make sure you are staying true to yourself even if other people don’t necessarily agree with it. The Ten of Pentacles shows that you may very well be on a successful career path, see a stable home environment, and possible committed, long-term relationships. This can be a result of the work you have done above with the Ten of Cups. You will see that you are really drawing in wealth and abundance through your hard work and dedication to yourself. If you haven’t done the work yet this could be a call to do so. It basically says that though things may seem a mess and may be a bit overwhelming now, but eventually it will all come together. When you put in the work you will be able to look back and be proud of everything you have achieved. This is a progress card, but it (like the Ten of Cups) is asking you to examine yourself and your motives. Do you really want all that it is you are working toward? Is it worth it? If you aren’t where you want to be, what is hold you back? Are you only staying stagnant out of security and fear of change? Is the life you are working so hard for really the life that you want or does it just look good on paper? Dig deep. What is it exactly that YOU want? Remember that wealth and responsibility are not always what they are cracked up to be. With power, you will always want more. Also, be cautious that you are not allowing your self worth and image to get wrapped up in your wealth and based on your success. You’re worth doesn’t come from what you accomplished and how many tasks you have accomplished. This is a time o re-evaluate your position and make a plan forward to regain your true sense of security and self worth.

You may not be feeling entirely inspired or creative this week, but in order to achieve your dreams you need to put in the work necessary to get there. Do the work to get you where you want to go. Even if that means doing the same thing over and over or having to put in place a schedule that you HAVE to follow through on. Make a thorough plan, protect your time, and use your self discipline. This is the only way that you will see results.
There may also be a sense of being a bit stuck in life right now. You know that you want things to change. You know what needs to change in order to get you to where you want to be. Yet you are still following your same old patterns and your usual ways of doing things. You are resisting the change. This is only preventing the inevitable and holding you back from reaching your full potential. Allow the change to happen and flow with it. It may be painful and uncomfortable at first because there are things in your life that you are holding onto that are no longer serving you. These things need to leave your life. Change isn't always fun but you will thank yourself in the end for allowing it to happen. Ask yourself if you are clinging to the past or losing touch with the present. It is so import for you to move on from the past and stay present. Without being present, you lose sight of the opportunities that are here for you now. It can be nice to walk down memory lane and breath in the nostalgia, but you don't want to get so stuck in it that you forget it is in the past and what is meant for you is here for you now. This is an opportunity to make peace with your past so that you can fully focus and be present in the now. So yes, take a moment to reconnect with your inner child, shake things up from your usual day to day, take a break from the heaviness of 'adulting', go try something new and adventurous. I know you are working hard at achieving those dreams and maintaining your schedule is important. However, taking time for yourself is also super important and should be a sacred part of your daily routine. All work with no play will only push you to burnout and can begin to make you feel resentment and anger toward things that you love. Right now it may seem as though the odds are against you. Pressure may be weighing down on you. You are doubting yourself and whether everything is worth if or not. You have been fighting and fighting, and now you are tired and over it. Ready to just through in the towel and call it a day. However, the Seven of Wands asks your to wait. To fix your crown, pick up your sword, and keep fighting for your kingdom. Remember that you can't please everyone. Someone will always disapprove. Whether is it a complex relationship, a spontaneous career change, or up and moving somewhere new. Don't allow them to make your choices for you. Keep doing you. Stop avoiding the conflict. Stop backing down from your point of view. Stop compromising. Stand up for yourself. Make it clear that this is who you are and what your boundaries are. Stand your ground on this firmly. This is not a negotiation and there will be no bargaining. This is who you are and what you want. Own it! If they can't accept it and refuse to make the change, then it is time to let this one go and move on. It might feel like giving up, but if you have tried everything and given it your all with literally no result then moving on will be for the best. You may also be feeling every overwhelmed by your commitments and responsibilities. You may have added a bit too much onto your plate and now want to just focus one a few things. There is a feeling of having to compete with others, feeling somewhat inadequate and vulnerable. Spend some time rebuilding your self esteem and confidence. Know that it is ok to say no and need space. You are loved, supported and powerful. Be aware of dark thoughts and negative feelings weighing you down. You may be worrying excessively about a situation and these negative thoughts are getting the better of you. Know that much of your fear and concern is all in your head and not necessarily an accurate reflection of what is really going on. Be careful not to dwell on these fears, this could make things worse for yourself. The more you obsess over what's not working, the more you attract that into your life. Your thoughts create your reality. If you shift you perspective to one of abundance and love, you will see the world around you begin to change accordingly. You don't want your fears and worries to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you dwell on the lack you run the risk of manifesting more of that into your life. Let's break this cycle before it gets worse. Every time a negative thought or emotion comes up, replace it with a positive one instead. Instead of looking for what is lacking, look for all of positive things your have to be grateful for. Take a deep breath and allow yourself to relax. If you need to, reach out for help. You may be strong but at some point everyone can use some support. You don't have to do everything alone. Getting a trusted outside opinion could help you to see things differently and brainstorm new ways to approach what is troubling you. They may shed some much needed light and help you see everything a bit more clearly. First, this weeks message is a lot, so bare with me. I promise it is well worth it.
The Nine of Wands is a encouraging card to see. It shows that you have been standing strong and tall throughout challenges that are repetitively being through your way. You have been remaining resilient and persistent, ready to do whatever it takes to succeed. However, you may be feeling as though the universe is against you. Throwing problem after problem in your face just as you thought things are starting to look up for you. This isn’t the universe hating on you though. This is the universe helping you to grow and testing your commitment to your goals and dreams. Believe it or not, every block is sent to make you grow stronger and is teaching you lesson that will help you in moving forward. You have what it takes and you are getting closer to the end goal. If this is truly want you want them don’t give up on it. Don’t allow others to rain on your parade. Often enough you will find that if someone has a problem with what you are doing or where you are headed, it is due to their own jealousy and insecurities. Focus on your dreams and goals and don’t worry about what others are thinking or saying about you. Don’t allow their negativity to dim your light and keep you from your purpose and dreams. There are plenty of amazing people around you and that are supporting you. These are the people you need to be leaning on and allowing to help you. Make sure to set healthy boundaries and fiercely protect them. Get clear on what you need to be the most successful and communicate those needs to others. Remember to protect your time and energy. Don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on more then you can manage and don’t set up so many boundaries that your not allowing those who want to help you to help you. Trying to do everything yourself is going to lead you to burnout and overall exhaustion. Make sure that while being productive you aren’t sucking all the fun out your life and what you are working so hard to achieve. Be realistic and honest with yourself. If you need help, don't be afraid to reach out and ask for it! This is where I am seeing the Hermit really stepping in and calling to you. You are being called to take a step back and breathe. Allow yourself to recharge and turn your attention inward. There you will find answers and what you really need for yourself. You are being asked to give yourself the space to examine yourself and your life. When you pull away from the everyday grind and influences around you, you will get the answers you need on how to proceed forward in a way that is health and proficient for you. From there take it a step at a time. This change will not happen overnight and you should really be patient with the process. For some of you, you may be at a very pivotal point in your life. Changing your direction, approach, and perspective. Through meditation, contemplation, and overall self evaluation you may begin to see your goals and priorities shifting. You may need to adjust and change your course to meet this new information. The Hermit is a very wise spiritual mentor. Here to raise your vibration and enhance your consciousness. While he may be an expert himself, he really is here to give you the knowledge and resources to find the answers for yourself. Take the time to sit with yourself this week. Ask yourself the tougher questions that you have been avoiding and give yourself the time and space to really explore the answers. Focus on connecting with your spiritual self. You may have become so caught up on your day to day grind that you haven't been listening to your inner self and have been neglecting your self-care. This is the time to focus on rebuilding your foundations and attending to more of what your soul needs. This is not to say that you should completely cut yourself off from the outer world. You need the support and love of the people around you. Don't underestimate the value of staying connected with other even while you are on this personal private journey. Be mindful of other peoples needs as well as your own. You don't want to become so self absorbed that you shut everyone out and neglect all the relationships that are important to you. In a relationship sense, one may be more withdrawn while the other is wanting to deepen the connection. Listen to eachother. Respect what the other needs, even if that need is space and be patient with them and provide the appropriate when needed. With that being said be patient with yourself and give yourself the support you need as well. Don't rely entirely on them to support and being your happiness and confidence. Find it within yourself. Don't try to force anything from your partner, allow it to flow. Be there when you can. Don't shut down and isolate yourself completely! This will only push them farther away. Be open to reconnect, but don't force it to happen. When I sat down to begin pulling the cards for each of the zodiac signs I was incredibly surprised at out intense and powerful the energy that I was working with is. There seems to be this overarching sense of shedding the old and embracing the new. We are finding new people, opportunities, experiences and we are leaving everything that no longer serves us in our wake. This is going to be a very productive time in so many of our lives and that is super exciting. |
