I’ve had a lot of disruptions in my world recently—the kind that you don’t see from the outside but still change everything. Maybe you, too?
This Tarot forecast echoes that theme.
Next Week in the Cards
Oh, Lord! I reached for the Osho Zen deck, and these were definitely not the cards I was looking for. But Tarot’s going to do what Tarot’s going to do, so let’s get to it.
Outlook: Seven of Swords (‘Politics’ in this Deck)
The thing to recognize with the Seven of Swords is that people often wear masks. Sometimes, those masks conceal something negative—ulterior motives, deception, or self-interest. Other times, they hide vulnerabilities, specific beliefs and needs, or hidden priorities. The point here is that you don’t really know what’s behind the mask. Assuming you do will often lead to misunderstanding or misplaced judgments.
For now, acknowledge that you may not know the whole story—of others or maybe even of your own motivations.
Advice: The Tower (‘Thunderbolt’ in this Deck)
The Tower is a card of upheaval, signaling that sometimes we have to let go of what’s comfortable or familiar, especially if it’s built on a shaky foundation. Heck, even if it’s uncomfortable, there’s a tendency to hold on when you don’t know what’s going to replace the status quo.
When truth emerges and shakes your world, let it happen. This might mean allowing parts of your life to fall away so that what remains is aligned with your integrity and authenticity. Yes, it’s disruptive, but it’s also a chance to rebuild on firmer ground. Let what’s untrue crumble; what’s real will endure.
And let’s be real: we might as well, since we generally don’t have much choice anyway. Right?
Key points for the week ahead:
- Hold back on assuming motives. There’s a lot you don’t know—about others, but maybe also about yourself. Be open to observation but don’t rush to conclusions. Your initial reaction is as likely to be inaccurate as not.
- Let what crumbles, crumble. The urge to hold on and salvage what feels like stability is strong, even when it’s not a great situation. But the Tower is here to remind you: what’s falling wasn’t stable in the first place. It just gave that appearance. Allow what’s going to happen to happen.
- Be open to the truth, even when it disrupts. Transformation often requires letting go of what feels safe or familiar. We want big change, big progress, but disruption is an unavoidable side effect. Trust that what remains after the upheaval will be stronger and truer, offering a better foundation from which to build.
Now, for you:
How willing are you to let go of assumptions about others (or even yourself) to recognize deeper truths?
