Anxiety sucks. And most of my life, I would have told you I didn’t have any. That was something other people dealt with.
Hell. Sometimes I’d blame the people around me for leaking. That’s how much I didn’t want to own it.
Except this week, it’s our job to own it.
Coming Up in the Cards
We’re graced with the deceptively lighthearted Housewives’ Tarot this time around.
Outlook: Justice Reversed
I often read Justice reversed as instability, a lack of balance. Maybe people are being way too harsh or way too soft. Swinging back and forth between extremes or feeling helpless in the clutches of reality. Maybe you don’t know if something is the worst or the best thing that ever happened but you suspect it could be both.
It’s okay to notice this without trying to fix it. Ever have the urge to do something, even when you know it’s the wrong thing, right this second because you want to relieve anxiety? Yeah. Don’t do that right now. Look to the Four of Pentacles instead.
Advice: Four of Pentacles Reversed
You’re probably feeling some anxiety here and that’s okay. Use it as a compass, not a verdict. Look straight at whatever you’re most anxious about and deal with that first. The build‑up is almost always worse than the reality, and a lot of the “monsters” turn out to be weird shadows once you shine a light on them. But even if you’ve got an actual monster, you’ve got the little sucker out there in the light where you can shoot.
Which offers relief and more or less describes the best we can do anyway, eh?
Now, for You:
Where does life feel scary or shaky? Can you think of even a small way you could start shining a little light in that corner?
