The Main Message for the week of August 8 is The Nine of Swords and the supporting advice is The Four of Pentacles. Together, these cards urge you to release hold of your fears and worries.
Main Message: The Nine of Swords. When the Nine of Swords appears, there’s been something in your life that’s been spinning out of control mentally. Worries about where you’re at in life, finances, feeling trapped, feeling too overwhelmed, feeling like you’re off your intended path. This card reassures us that things aren’t exactly what they seem. All of the stresses and worries have gone out of control, so recognize that the bulk of your fears is simply an illusion akin to a nightmare. Find ways to distance yourself from the illusions within your fears and focus on anything solid and real that you can take action toward.
Advice: The Four of Pentacles. As you release your hold on your anxiety and fears, release your hold on anything you’re holding too tightly too. Trust that within anything you fear you don’t have enough of: money, possessions, etc., you are secure enough where you are to relax a little. Invite in generosity—not just to others, but to yourself as well.
To connect with this energy, place one hand on your chest, one on your abdomen, and repeat the following mantra:
I invite in the clarity to see past my fears and worries. I have enough of what I need, and I will always have enough for what I need.
