I’ve been tackling some long-ignored corners of my life lately. The stuff that gnaws at me while I simultaneously avoid it. It’s stressful to address, but also a relief to cross these itchy items off my list.
This coming week looks to be a little like that, but reversed. You feel the relief because you can see the way out, but the stress lingers because you have no firm timeline.
Next Week in the Cards
These fun renditions are from the Meow’s Tarot.
Outlook: The Sun
Finally, a dose of plain old optimism! Maybe it’s about little things, maybe big things. All the things! Regardless, the Sun promises genuine joy: clear, bright, and uncomplicated. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we’re ready to run toward it.
But don’t take off too fast.
Advice: Eight of Wands, reversed
With this card reversed, progress doesn’t click into place as quickly as you’d probably like. The path may be visible, but the timing isn’t yours to determine. So any lingering tension? Normal.
The key is remembering this isn’t false hope—the joy is real. It’s just not tied up in a neat, predictable package yet. So you appreciate where you are, even if it’s not your ultimate destination.
So, in short: notice the good. Let yourself feel it. Don’t wreck it by demanding complete closure before you celebrate, even a little. Things will settle in their own time. But don’t let the lack of finality keep you from getting a lift from the good you’re seeing.
I’m taking this as a nudge to stop time-jumping between what’s gone before and what’s not here yet. The real power is in the now, and that’s where I plan to soak up every bit of warmth the Sun offers.
Now, for you:
Where’s your cause for optimism? And how can you let yourself enjoy it without overthinking the “when” and “how” of what’s next?
