Card for the Week of 15 Sept 25

Here is something a little different for the card of the week.

Daily meditation Tarot is a fantastic way to learn Tarot. The same idea can be extended to a card for the week. It is a next-step exercise that is more about building your intuition and general energy sense.

It’s easy to do.

Shuffle your deck, however you like. Shuffling is helpful because it clears any old energy from previous readings and ‘wakes up’ the deck (for lack of a better way of describing it)

Choose a card, any way you like. Cut the deck, fan the deck, draw from the top….whatever makes you happy.

In fact, making yourself happy is kind of the point of the card I drew, the Five of Swords.

It is often about ego and conflict. But the vibe here is internal, and I get mental images of the Five of Wands to go along with this. Put it together and it is about internal conflict. What do you NOT want to do that you are forcing yourself to gut it out and do? Where do you feel resistance? What part of this coming week do you want to block or avoid. What about the current situation that feels blocked or like it is blocking you?

Learn from that. Road blocks have signs on them. Detours are still a path forward. Or a message that maybe you were going the wrong way. Or a confirmation that the new path you’ve been considering is indeed the right one.

Like a daily meditation, it can help to put the card somewhere you can see it during the course of the week – someplace safe, like a bed side table or something. Whenever you see the card, take a second to be in the moment. Feel the energy, think a little how your initial impressions have connected (or not) with the week as it unfolds.
