The Main Message for the week of December 9 is Temperance and the supporting advice is The Eight of Swords. Together, these cards are encouraging you to find patience and peace in this moment of in between.
Main Message: Temperance. Temperance appears when we are in a waiting period to let us know that something big and important is brewing in the sidelines. Trust that you will be pointed in your next direction when the time is ready. In the meantime, find beauty and peace within the wait. What new things can you try? What can you do to nurture and soothe yourself? Work to live in the moment—and appreciate each moment—and let go of expectations of what will come next for you.
Advice: The Eight of Swords. It’s hard to sit still sometimes, isn’t it? It’s especially hard when next steps and the future are unclear. However, the Eight of Swords is here to remind you that sometimes when you struggle against your current path, or try to force something that isn’t right for you or you’re not ready for, you just end up feeling more trapped. Notice where you’re forcing actions that make you feel trapped. Work to let go, sit back a little, and you’ll start to feel freer.
To connect with this energy, place one hand on your chest, one on your abdomen, and repeat the following mantra:
I appreciate each and every moment. I am thankful for this time to pause and reorient myself. I am at peace in stillness.
