These Saturday readings are (not usually) bearing in on any one thing or event in my life, as the question used is asking for a more general outlook. This is a self care exercise, and is not meant as a predictive reading… although that, too, happens on occasion.
The question is… What do I need to focus for self-care through the week ahead?
Earth – Ten of Fire – Take special notice of your energy levels this week and make sure that you’re not overdoing it. You have a tendency to push in the area of work and finance, which ends up being a negative trade-off with your health and well-being when you become overwhelmed and burn out.
Air – Tower – Just because something isn’t going the way that you think it should or planned for doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. Stop catastrophizing and use that energy toward strategizing instead.
Water – Air King atop Star – Again, stop catastrophizing and start strategizing. This reiteration is a heavy stress on the need for this tactic right now. Falling into hopelessness and rumination just drags you down. If you put your sizeable focus and energy toward strategizing a way forward instead, you will avoid those messy pessimistic pitfalls.
Fire – Wheel of Fortune – Nothing lasts forever. Be ready for the shift that’s coming by not sticking your head in the sand. You are better able to ride things out with feet planted and your eyes on the horizon.
Waning – Rider and Snake – Movement is not your friend right now. Instead make sure you stand still, observe, and plan. Taking action at this time will only end up biting you in the ass.
Waxing – Key and Heart – Follow your heart and listen closely to what it has to say. Your heart and moral compass are the answer to this upcoming challenge.
Take Away – Clearly something you might perceive as disastrous is on the horizon this week, for this reading is all about schooling you in how to react when it arrives. The advice? Stay calm and don’t let your negative inner narrative cause your emotions to go off kilter. Instead, analytically look for an acceptable path forward that feels right.
