Today’s draw is the Eight of Swords, which is traditionally a representation of willful ignorance, self imposed struggle or restraint, self limiting beliefs, negative inner narratives, self pity, and victimized mentality.
I am a big fan of this card. It reminds me of the whole operation room thing where they keep you awake (if numbed out of your gourd) while they work on you.
This card is a reminder that there are things going on that you can’t see. That doesn’t mean you need to worry about them, but rather to let go and -not- worry about them. It means that sometimes you have to let go and let things develop on their own without your meddling fingers in the mix, trusting that there are other fingers taking up the slack and guiding things to their rightful end even without you’re help. The surgeon during the operation doesn’t need your assistance, and sometimes? Neither does the universe.
This can be really difficult, especially for anyone with control issues like myself. That’s why we need these reminders, right?

Prompt for March 20 : Do the Spring Equinox Spread
Tulips: Where do I need to practice forgiveness to foster stronger loyalty?
Motivation – Sometimes when things fall apart, you need to look at the motivation behind what’s going on rather than just paying attention to the easily observed actions of others. When you see their motivation, it can be at times easier to forgive those things that you would otherwise hold a grudge on.
Robin: How can I give myself more compassion and patience?
Plenty – A mentality of scarcity makes you punish yourself too much and far too hard. Take stock of what you have and be happy with it, rather than always pushing for more. Remember how fortunate you truly are and how much you actually have.
Rose Quartz: How can I be more open to offering unconditional love to others?
Passivity – Remember that you need other people in your life. You can’t do everything yourself and shouldn’t have to. Your discomfort with other people and your own vulnerabilities makes you want to put up shields and distance yourself, but when you’re feeling that urge you need to focus on softening and allow them in instead.
Aquamarine: What do I need to help me to stay calm and courageous in the face of adversity?
Vigilance – Stay aware and watchful of what’s going on around you. When you close your eyes and try to ignore your surroundings, it doesn’t just allow you to ignore the thing that’s bugging you, but also disorients you to everything else around you as well.
Butterfly: What sort of transformation is waiting for me this spring?
Retreat – When things go unexpectedly, you will be given the opportunity to learn how to retreat gracefully, rather than in the grips of panic mode. Allow yourself to retreat instead of trying to stand strong or reacting without thought.
Clover: Where in life will luck play into protecting me from potential harm?
Lamentation – Don’t let your worries over what might happen make you regret holding back. The “what ifs” are a product of your imagination, not reality, and holding back only leaves room for regrets later on.
Rabbit: How can I encourage more abundance in my life this spring?
Advice – Take uninvited advice from others into consideration this spring. You may not have welcomed them or their words into your life, but they may just have a point that you’re otherwise missing if you don’t listen.
