The Eight of Wands ~ Honesty and Self-Confidence!

Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Eight of Wands, representing: Overcoming obstacles, swift communication and new clarity. Appropriate now that we are out of Mercury Retrogrades' shadow and on the cusp of a New Moon (Friday)! This card portends new opportunities as stagnation and previous blocks are swiftly cleared away—almost like magic.

“You have found your own inner center. If you are willing to be open, and state your message clearly and directly, hindrances can be transformed. Misunderstandings yield to clarity. Problems which have appeared insurmountable, now fade meaninglessly into the background. Overcome any tendency to hesitate, and if you are prepared to call disturbing influences by name, you rob them of their power to restrict and hinder you.

This card is a symbol of wholeness and indicates a process is coming to and end. You will look back, realizing that the difficulties of the past have helped to bring a learning process to completion.” That’s from Gerd Ziegler – Mirror of the Tarot—one of my favorite books on the Tarot, especially the Minor Arcana.

This week know that the moment has come for you to define where you stand. Honesty is key, especially as you have nothing to hide. Communicate your truth with confidence.  

Affirmation: My openness and self-confidence opens the hearts of those I love. 

The Eight and Two of Wands ~ Fiery Supernova!

Tarot Tuesday! When choosing this week’s card, I inadvertently pulled two cards. Since I don’t believe in accidents, I decided both cards wanted attention. Here we go:

The Eight of Wands: This card is ruled by Mercury (communication) and Sagittarius (expansion), representing swiftness, movement and clear communication. The Eight of Wands indicates that a period of waiting is over, and doors are opening for some delayed plans or projects to move forward. Basically--the Force is with you! This card emphasizes the spheres of communication, media, promotion and publishing. Your ideas and inspirations are ready to be received.

The Two of Wands: This card is ruled by Mars (action) and Aries (conquering), which is a lot of dynamic energy! The Two of Wands indicates a time of beginnings, and driving new goals forward. It is also a card of centeredness. As you lay plans for the future, it’s important that you keep a sense of balance in mind. This is not a time to over-extend or get ahead of yourself. Take time ground, and check-in to make sure you’re not "doing" for the sake of "doing", and to be intentional with your actions.

The combo of these 2 cards says: Take advantage of the fiery energy to expand, grow, express, act and move projects forward. And…also take time to ground and center. You’re in this for the long haul and don’t want to over-extend or burnout! 

This week be a supernova--an, intentional, balanced supernova!
