I’m working on taking care of myself—while balancing how much I care for others. Ever feel like you’re giving so much that you’re running on empty? Or maybe it’s a question of saying ‘yes’ because you can, but not because you want to.
If this sounds like you, this week’s forecast may be instructive.
Next Week in the Cards
Pictured: Housewives Tarot.
This week Tarot spotlights nurturing—both for others and yourself. The Queen of Pentacles is all about grounded, practical care. You’re likely to find yourself in a position where you’re managing responsibilities, providing support, and keeping everything running smoothly. But while you’re taking care of everyone else, don’t forget to check in with yourself. How are you holding up amidst all the caretaking? Does what you give to others feed yourself at the same time? Because there is no reason it cannot do both.
In fact, it’s best when it does.
Advice: The Magician
Harness your personal power. The Magician reminds you that you hold the tools to create the outcomes you desire. Be intentional with your energy. What are you focusing on? Make sure you’re directing your efforts where they’ll have the most meaningful impact. It’s not just about doing more, but about doing what matters most—on your terms.
Boundaries are always our friends. By judicious exercise of boundaries, we do the most good, for others and for ourselves.
Now, for you:
How can you balance taking care of others without losing yourself in the process? Are you using your energy impactfully? Reflect on what you choose to give, and what might need to be pulled back.
