Weekly Tarot!  Jan 23 - Jan 29, 2023

Card of the Week: 10 of Wands ✧☾゜・。

This week’s theme is exhausting passion.

Is it really success if it hurts achieving our goals?

The 10’s in the Tarot usually mean the culmination of something, signifying both the success and end of a chapter in your life. Bittersweet is the best way one can describe the 10 of Wands for it talks of the final achievement of your desires: getting the promotion that you’ve always wanted, getting that project of the ground and seeing it bloom at its full glory… the question this card makes is, at what cost? Does this success feel good? Does it really satisfy you?

This card gives me the energy of an overachiever, someone who once they get what they want, instead of taking the time to rejoice in the rewards of their hard work, they start working on the next project already. Tell me, what’s the point in accumulating wealth, recognition, and success if you don’t allow yourself to breath and relax from time to time?

For the people who do not embody this energy, The 10 of Wands suggests that this week is going to be more demanding than usual, everyone around us will be expecting us to work, love and compromise harder for some reason. However, the same message applies here: don’t fall into the overachiever mentality, this week you need to redirect this fiery energy into setting boundaries and not taking in your plate more than what you actually can take.

This card can also be an encouragement to bring change in your routine and pursue something that genuinely makes you happy. You might have a stable life now but, looking objectively at where you’re at… does it really make your heart sing?

Sometimes, always looking up at the endless possibilities the world has to offer can leave our back hurting and our neck cramping… maybe what we need is to look down from time to time and admire the beauty that is already around us.

The week starts with moon in Shatabhisha. The moon at the height of Rahu and the star of illusion makes today and the rest of the week especially good for learning and consuming any type of knowledge, specially art! However, this is also the star for restrictions and boundaries. Remember this week to be the one to set boundaries upon other people and not the one crushed by others restrictions.

☾ Blessings: Fiery ambition that leads to any type of success! If you know how to redirect your energy, the sky is the limit! However, to make this a blessing more than a curse you’ll need to learn to not only enjoy the process, but also pamper yourself from time to time.

☾ Warnings: Don’t overwork yourself! Apart from possible sickness, if you don’t stop and take time to recover yourself from working constantly towards your goals… you might end up sitting in a throne, but with a never-ending emptiness.

☾ Random messages/tips:

Happiness and pleasure are the main focus this week, the job for everyone as of now is to relax, pamper ourselves, and enjoy the beauty of the small things life has to offer.

Seriously, allow yourself time to experience pleasure and calmness in your life.

Let loose! It’s okay to break the rules from time to time ;)
