Tarot - On the cards

Switchwords by now would have become familiar to many of you and if tried with conviction and faith the results should have come. However, for that, you should be able to read the signs and synchronicities that will appear before you. Things that have been stuck for long would have paved the way for better things to come along mystically and you suddenly realise that you actually have come to where you have been wanting to. This week there are some more great SWs that will enable a fulfilled life. It must be added here that these work only because of faith, consistency and unquestioning ability to see magic and miracles unfold.

This is a week that will be full of angst — you will feel alone, marginalised and also misunderstood. That said, it is temporary. The feelings will be there for you to feel the intensity of these factors and it would do well to ensure that you don’t buckle under the pressure. The Five of Cups brings a sense of alienation with the world at large and that will make you feel like nothing is worth it. There are many things to feel good about, but your state of mind won’t permit you to think that way. The Ten of Swords will make you feel the crushing intensity of things not going your way and your paths seeming to be indistinct and nebulous. As mentioned earlier, this is a passing phase and all you can do is to focus on this fact. The sun will rise and the night will pass on to become a bright day.

It is time to sit back and enjoy everything you have worked for all this time. There is financial stability, there are chances for greater growth and there is a general sense of having done the best you could under the circumstances of your life. If you have single siblings, offsprings or loved ones who would like to find partners or be in a relationship then the time is also right for that. You could be settling marriages, collaborations and anything that will grow your family and your friends’ circles. The Seven of Pentacles brings with it a better sense of grounding that ensures security and stability while the Two of Cups indicates that new relationships and partnerships are in the offing. Make time to see the signs and offer your best inputs when it comes to those who seek your approval on such matters.

If you have been nursing plans for the future and working towards growth and achieving targets, then things are likely to fall in place. There is much fire in you to do things - it could be for yourself or for the larger good and through it all, you set benchmarks for yourself to do better and better. You are in no competition with anyone but only seek to better yourself every step. And when you get into that mindset everything will come to you with ease and perfection. The Eight of Wands displays the extent to which the fire will bring forth new avenues, and projects largely to help others while the Three of Pentacles shows that every one of these will have a logical and good outcome. Go ahead and work on everything you have thought about and dreamed of.

If you feel snowed under and bogged down by emotional turbulences it is because the Queen of Cups comes right in making everything seem like its doomsday. However, that is just one of those things that come with the behaviour of the moon which waxes and wanes and brings about the highs and lows of feelings that can be intense or light. So here is where you would need to display a lot of strength and also highlighted by the appearance of the card with the same name to show that to tame wild emotions is indeed a wise thing because they are temporary. They come and go and to decide or act upon times like that is counterproductive to good decision making. And this is likely to affect women born under this sign than the men.

However alone you feel or that you could feel isolated from the world around you – it won’t matter when it comes to delivering what is due to you by destiny. The card Justice indicates that it is delayed not denied. So if there are difficult court cases or things due to you this is a period where it might settle down and you will get what you deserve. The Hermit indicates a lonely path you have carved for yourself but that is only a feeling you carry because when the powers above are with you there is no way you are alone. Trust in the process and you will find that all your fears or sense of being on an island is largely illusionary. The week could get tough because you feel there is no one who will look out for you. But that is certainly not the case.

lt is not as if you don’t know what to do. You do. You couldn’t be clearer if you tried in your mind and heart about the course of action you would like to take to get your life in order. But the question is whether you have the guts to do that? Courage will bring you great rewards because it also means pushing the envelope and going beyond your comfort zone to achieve things that are meaningful. The Three of Swords shows that there is a lot of clarity in your mind about what you want. And the Knight of Cups shows that you need to think young, sprightly and bold. Hold on to your emotions because they have a tendency to run away with all kinds of consequences in our mind but not all of them are going to happen. So take a leap of faith and get what you want out of life.

If you stubbornly refuse to look at options life is offering you then you are most likely to miss many opportunities. Opportunities that come and go and goes wasted because of your slightly myopic view about how life should be. This is not to say that you won’t get what you are seeking but you should also be able to look at other things the Universe is offering you. The Four of Cups is a sure sign that you are not looking in the direction you are supposed to. The Queen of Wands comes to say that you could be feeling under pressure for this reason because you are not looking at other good things that are coming your way. Sitting in solitude and thinking over and drawing a wish list would help to see things with more clarity.

The good phase of being in the limelight continues as this week will bring you back to the spotlight with honours, applause and laudatory messages. The Star card ushers in a lot of appreciation for you the person, you the professional and you the status symbol many are trying to aspire to achieve. And that brings us to the Three of Wands that comes in wake of all this attention. There is much to conquer and look ahead in terms of getting new things on to your path of work and career prospects. You will probably travel overseas to tie up collaborations and contracts that will bring you a lot of honour and even financial rewards. Don’t let anything hold you back.

When the whole world is right at your feet you are likely to feel like running away from it all. That is not an unusual feeling because it can be overwhelming when everything seems so good and perfect. You would think that it is too good to be true. Don’t let such fears and negative thinking allow you to enjoy all that you have worked for and are lucky to have it. The Eight of Cups while it looks fulfilled, is actually a repeller when it comes to peace of mind. There will be a tendency to walk away from all the drama that surrounds you – something you have been used to but never had the option of moving from it all. The Wheel of Fortune will not allow you to move because to be involved is part of being in the circle of life.

To be a leader is to know how to keep things in control. So the going will be tough and tiresome- but you must persist. The entry of the King of Wands brings with it the responsibilities and hard work that a leader has to face while the Temperance card shows that those aspects have to be handled carefully and with a great deal of diplomacy and discipline. This will be evident when it comes to family matters, personal life and in the work situation when you will have to draw boundaries and keep people in check lest there are anarchy and chaos. This is indeed a difficult task and this week will give you a glimpse of what is in store.

Even as you are in a celebratory mood, there are times when you feel like you are being restricted by some unnamed fears and phobias. These are very real to you as you are thinking of many worst-case scenarios which keep playing over and over in your head. The Three of Cups comes to show you that logically there is nothing to worry about and allow yourself to enjoy the good things of life. But the Eight of Swords shadows the other cards to prove that behind every smile there could be some difficulty lurking. That is the pessimist in you to expect the worst. It is not so. It will only seem like that because the fear of the unknown is very alive in your mind. Let go of it and see how light you become. In any case, nothing is in your control.

Sometimes you will feel like giving everything you have to be able to go on a carefree jaunt around the world. Let nothing hold you back and be the intrepid traveller in search of the adventure you long for. However that is something you will only dream about, but not put into practice because caution will get the better of you. The Fool card brings with it an ease of mind which you ought to adopt to be able to see the true beauty of the world around you. The Six of Pentacles shows the generous nature that makes you feel like giving everything away for those less fortunate than you. This altruistic mindset is very appreciable. But you have to live as well and to do that and not be dependent on anyone you will have to conserve much of what you possess.
