As promised, here is the conclusion to today's reading.
Card 1 - 7 of Wands:
The battles you have been fighting are nearing and end but are not over. You gain the high ground and are able to clearly see what needs to be done to win the war. You have been making time for yourself and nurturing your soul which has allowed you to clear out the demons that have been holding you back. Your mind is clear and your ambitions are clear. You know in your heart what needs to be done, yet you are still waiting for that perfect moment. Is a new job calling you? Have you been procrastinating in finishing that project? Have you been keeping it all hidden and too yourself, afraid to show the world for fear of judgement? What passions have you been hiding? What goals have you been keeping secret? Mars direct in Capricorn is asking you to act! The time is now! Saturn guides you to make calculated steps but also urges you to stop procrastinating. Take the leap, you are ready.
Card 2 - 8 of Wands:
Your world is changing quickly and it seems near impossible to keep up. Your thoughts are racing and ideas, insight, and inspiration are coming to you quickly and seemingly out of left field now. You may feel as if the rug has been pulled out from underneath you at times. Trust that this tumultuous time, thought it may feel jarring, is for your highest and best right now. You are being asked to shed all the has been holding you back and to try new things, even if they feel uncomfortable at times. Mars is now direct in Capricorn, and that fiery passionate Aries energy can now be more playful, spontaneous, and uninhibited. It is best to stay grounded during this time and to be especially mindful of your health. Make use of practices that aid you in keeping your energy clear and focused. Exercising, going for a walk in the woods (barefoot is best), taking a salt bath, meditation, eating grounding foods such as root vegetables, wearing grounding colors and smudging will help you to keep focus on your goals during this time.
Card 3 - 2 of Swords:
You are overcome by fear, anxiety, and apprehension. It is time to trust your instinct and intuition to guide you. Your monkey mind is running in circles and only causing you more harm at this time. Concerns over your job, finances, and love life, are consuming you right now. The job will work itself out. Your creativity will return. You will have plenty of abundance to thrive. Loving yourself will help sooth the wounds you are feeling and give you guidance for how to move forward. Asking the question "Does this support me or hurt me?" in any situation may help you gain clarity. Create distance from the problems and ask as if you were an observer of the situation. What immediately comes to you? Do not think about it, just let the answer come. That is your instinct speaking. Trust it. If the mind is calm it is easy to see the answers, if the mind is chaotic you cannot see thru the storm. It is imperative that you slow down and take the time to come back to your center. Perhaps go on YouTube and follow a guided meditation, breathing exercise, or yin yoga class to help you. You have all the answers you need within you, they key is to quiet your thoughts enough so that you can hear the answer.
