Lately, I’ve been focused on keeping what I want from a challenging relationship and letting go of what I don’t. I’m doing this both literally and metaphorically by removing items from my house that don’t feel good and are tied to what I want to release.
As if always on cue, the Tarot cards have a message for me again.
Next Week in the Cards
Outlook: Six of Pentacles, or Compromise.
Advice: Queen of Cups, Receptivity
Cards from the Osho Zen Tarot deck.
I really appreciate this Six of Pentacles’ take on compromise. Traditionally, this card speaks to charity and judicious use of resources. But here, it’s all about consciously deciding what to give and what to protect. It’s like negotiating a peace treaty with yourself on what you’re willing to share and with whom. Now that’s real compromise.
The Queen of Cups as “Receptivity” flips the script from who she is to what she does. She’s the emotional sponge, soaking up feelings, intuition, and energy. It’s about being open to the flow of life after you’ve set your boundaries.
Think of it this way: first, you decide what stays and what goes—this is your compromise, your Six of Pentacles moment. It’s like sorting through a box of old keepsakes, deciding which memories to hold close and which to let drift away. Only then do you open yourself up to receive—the Queen of Cups stepping in. This order is crucial. Boundaries first, reception second. That’s self-protection in action.
So, the vibe for the week? It’s all about navigating life with a balanced hand of compromise. But remember, compromise isn’t about giving up on yourself. It’s about being savvy with your resources—both tangible and emotional. It’s like being the captain of your own ship, steering clear of the storms while still charting a course toward new horizons.
Once you’ve drawn your lines, you can focus on receiving what truly matters to you. Hold onto what enriches your life and let go of what doesn’t. Think of it as curating your personal museum—only the most valuable and meaningful pieces make the cut.
Are you doing any emotional sorting right now?
