The Main Message for the week of August 22 is The Devil and the supporting advice message is The Hanged Fae. Together, these cards are urging you to step into your most authentic self to cut away any unwanted ties with the help of a different perspective.
Main Message: The Devil. It’s time to step into your most authentic self, shadows and all. It may help to channel a bit of mischievous and conniving energy as you go about your week, especially when met with any challenges. When this card shows up, it’s a good time to consider all that may be holding you back. What actions, activities, responsibilities are you currently bound to that don’t allow you to live authentically? Cut ties with anything that’s making you feel trapped and uneasy, even if those you care about don’t approve.
Advice: The Hanged Fae. If you’re having trouble deciding whether or not to cut something out of your life, or how you’re even going to go about doing it, turn to the Hanged Fae for advice. The Hanged Fae asks you look at your issue from different perspectives. What are all of the different outcomes of making or not making a change, both the good and the bad? With the help of the trickster Devil, is there anything you can turn on its head to give you and others new insight? The Hanged Fae always urges patience. Making large changes, especially when it comes to cutting bonds from something you’ve been attached to for years, is going to take time. Consider all of the different perspectives, and you’ll know when you’ll be ready to take a leap into action.
To connect with this energy, place one hand on your chest, one on your abdomen and repeat the following mantra:
I am allowed to be my most authentic self. I have the insight and courage to live my most authentic life.
