Some things I want to forget. And sometimes, I even manage—for a minute. Then something (or someone) pops up and throws it right back in my face.
Don’t you hate when that happens?
It’s like that ex who somehow knows the exact moment you’re almost over ’em and decides to call. This week ahead has that kind of energy. Sorry!
But it’s okay. Because if that’s what we’ve got, then that’s what we need to traverse and the cards suggest how.
Next Week in the Cards
I wanted a little lift, so I pulled out the Housewives’ Tarot. They are cheery to look at but remain characteristically blunt. These ladies don’t sugarcoat.
I pulled an extra card for clarity. And this trio? It says put on the brakes. You may have something left to grieve, too—even if just the lost sense of safety and stability.
Outlook: Four of Wands reversed
Unrest. Expect unease, tension, maybe anxiety. What felt settled or safe may not feel so anymore, and that can rattle you. It’s like that noise in the night you cannot quite identify. You sit up, take notice, and hold your breath a bit.
Advice: Chariot reversed
Slow down. Take stock of where you are and where you’re going. No sharp turns or sudden acceleration. Don’t force momentum. Let things settle before pushing forward. It’s time to re-evaluate your positioning.
Clarification: Five of Wands
Frustration is mixed with grief. Anger and disappointment can cover up the sting of loss. But at the heart of it, you may need to grieve what didn’t turn out the way you hoped (or deserved).
It’s understandable to feel disappointed, or want better than what you got. Just be honest with yourself about how you’re feeling and let yourself feel it. You don’t have to convince yourself you don’t care or it didn’t hurt when that’s not true.
A nap, a good cry, or a night’s rest (or three) may be what it takes. But whatever it takes, the road will still be there when you’re ready to undertake the trip again.
Now, for You:
What reality has disrupted your peace lately? How can you let yourself process your (maybe complicated) feelings so you are clear-headed to drive on?
