X WANDS (rev)
This fortnight we are being asked to take stock of all that we have going on in our lives - how much of it is necessary, and how much of it is just clutter, distracting us from what we need to be focused on?
We may very well feel as though we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders - it’s time to assess whether all of our activities - those that we do for ourselves as well as those that we do for others, are actually helping us or hindering our personal growth. We cannot move into the future whilst being weighed down by all of the jobs that we do - for ourselves and others; our time is being taken up by things that no longer bring fulfillment to those involved.
It’s time to look deep within ourselves and answer the questions that this card asks...what burdens, from past and present are you carrying around? Do they serve you or your purpose? Or do they detract from other pursuits that you’re much more passionate about? Are you feeling exhausted and in need of a break? Is your health suffering? Are you micro-managing your life and the lives of those close to you? Where can you delegate tasks and duties to others?
And for those who have been working themselves into the ground for a particular reason or purpose - the hard work that you’ve put in is nearing completion. This card asks you to hang on just a little longer, you’re almost there. Of course, you’re being cautioned to pay attention to your health, so you may need to slow down a little; but you’re so close to the end.
With endings, come new beginnings...
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can , and the wisdom to know the difference.”
The Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebuhr
Have a blessed fortnight lovelies.
