Time for a Mindset Shift
This was another hard week.
I’m still reeling from a lack of focus. The past five days were full of emotion and grief.
It’s been tough.
I wanted to let myself be sad. I let myself feel these deep feelings because I’ve been suppressing the same feelings for months. I’ve made a real effort to honor my emotions.
Still needing clarification, I pulled a reading for this week.
I elected to use Rachael Pollack’s Dr. Apollo’s 5 Card Spread in The New Tarot Handbook.
1. Queen of Pentacles Reversed
🌎Capricorn🐐♦️
Known. You already know this, look at it more closely.
Upright the Queen of Pentacles is about expanding the experience of abundance. She is a community creator. She is fertile, magical, and generous.
Reversed she tells me that my anxiety is causing me to hold off on this major shift.
I know I’m in a time of transition and this negativity is keeping me trapped in my cycles.
I’m repeating. I’m scared of moving into the unknown. The hard work I knew was coming hit me like a ton of bricks. I wanted to be ready but I was not ready.
I’m being led into deeper abundance. I have to work inside myself to support this spiritual shift.
2. Knight of Swords Reversed
⚔️Libra 🤺 ♠️
Unknown. Something to learn.
Traditionally the Knight of Swords is one of the most action-oriented cards in the deck.
Reversed he is calling attention to my inaction.
It’s an interesting card to pull for “Unknown” but I believe this card is bringing attention to my lack of focus and muddled mind. I didn’t do any work on developing deeper wisdom this week.
I have a lot of work to do to overcome my regular adversaries.
That work is happening now, embrace it.
3. Knight of Cups
🌊 Pisces ♥️
Danger. Be careful of this.
Double Knights. That’s interesting.
Even upright, this Knight is serving as a warning I deserve. I’m sulking, being moody and giving into my worst emotions.
If I let my negativity take over, I’ll never go anywhere.
I’m also very much in a goal-dreaming stage. If I want to make progress on my big goals, I need to take some action steps. Even making a plan for those action steps would be something.
4.The Lovers Reversed
⚖️ Gemini💛
Opportunity. Something beneficial or powerful that can come from this.
Speaking of growth – Hey 8 of Wands!
I’ve been getting this card a lot.
It’s a continual reminder that I’m out of balance.
The Lovers Reversed wants me to get IN sync with my purpose.
It encourages healing. It encourages knowing your worth.
I should be working on my own wholeness. As the Opportunity card, this is a guiding reminder that there is spiritual work to be done. If I improve my mindset and embrace the moment, I’ll find balance.
5. 5 of Cups
🌊Scorpio 🦂♥
Action – a recommendation
This card is saying it’s time to move on.
I’ve had my emotional time, I’m glad I gave myself that space.
But, there is a bridge in the distance and a castle full of opportunity on the other side. New opportunities are on the horizon.
Wake up tomorrow with an ambitious & optimistic mindset.
Be open to opportunities and happiness. Put in the work, move forward, do good.
“See past the setbacks to find the opportunities, for hope all around you.”
