Creating Your Sanctuary: A Safe Space for the Soul
I’m carving out my own little corner of peace, a (psychological) sanctuary where I can breathe easy. It’s not been easy, but oh-so-worth it.
Maybe you’re feeling the pull to do the same. Whether it’s building a new situation from scratch or revisiting and tweaking something that’s been around a while—hello, Mercury retrograde!—the urge to nest and settle in is strong. But let’s be real: the work is far from over. There’s always something more to do, isn’t there?
I’ve got a lot swirling around in my head, trying to make sense of it all. I imagine you might be in a similar boat, so I’ll keep this week’s (fashionably late) forecast straightforward.
In the Cards
Outlook: Four of Wands
The Four of Wands signals that we’ve reached a well-deserved milestone. This is your green light to take a breather. You’ve earned it! But remember, while this is a moment to celebrate, it’s also just one step along the journey.
Enjoy the break, relish the victory, but know that the path ahead still calls for attention.
Advice: King of Swords
The King of Swords brings clarity and strategy. He’s all about smart decisions and logical steps. His message? Start with what’s next on the list. Don’t get overwhelmed by the big picture; focus on the next reasonable move.
Have you made a choice recently? Maybe pulled the trigger on something important? That sense of forward momentum, of closing one chapter and starting another, is powerful. It might not be the final act, but it’s progress. We like progress!
Deck is the Housewives’ Tarot: obviously one of my favorites.
What This Means for the Week Ahead
This week, our best bet is to zero in on what comes next. Sure, make your grand plans—dream big!—but also start taking concrete steps toward your goals. Don’t worry if the plan isn’t perfect. It won’t be. You’ll adjust as you go. That’s not just okay; it’s smart. The King of Swords would approve.
Acknowledging your milestones is crucial, but so is using them as a launchpad for what’s to come. By celebrating how far you’ve come and then shifting focus to the road ahead, you’re actively moving away from the past—whether it was filled with wins, losses, or a confusing mix of both.
The key is to keep your eyes on the future, steering clear of the mental traps that would have you dwelling in places you’ve outgrown or outright rejected. The past can teach us, but it shouldn’t hold us hostage.
So, let’s keep moving, shall we? One thoughtful, strategic step at a time.
Are you ready for your next, best step?
