The Main Message for the week of October 30 is The Eight of Swords and the supporting advice is The Nine of Wands. Together, these cards urge you to find patience and stillness when faced with any setbacks.
Main Message: The Eight of Swords. When the Eight of Swords shows up, the sense of feeling trapped or helpless isn’t very far behind. The more you fight against any invisible holds, the tighter they may feel. This week, if you start to feel stuck or hopeless, release your hold on expectations or a specific direction. Find ways to go with the flow and be patient until things start to unstick.
Advice: The Nine of Wands. Give yourself recognition for how far you’ve come and how resilient you’ve been. The Nine of Wands is here to remind you that all of the hard work you’ve been doing hasn’t been for nothing. When passion projects or goals start to feel burdensome, remember the feeling when you first set the goal or came up with the idea, and use that to continue to motivate you, or assess if you need to change course.
To connect with this energy, place one hand on your chest, one on your abdomen, and repeat the following mantra:
I am patient and strong. Any barriers are released with each breath I take.
