As we close out 2018, many of us take stock of our progress. This week’s card offers an important glimpse into where progress may have failed and why.
Our card of the week seems to keep showing up, to remind *us* to keep showing up. Like him, we must stand our ground, even when battered and weary.
We are much more than our job, but the quality of our days depends on how we occupy ourselves, and time is the treasure that can never be replaced.
We are in a Gateway between past and future, the turning of the Year, the decade, and the seasons of dark and light. No wonder this card now visits.
The Tarot offers advice for those seeking good fortune: Cooperate with the Earth’s wisdom and timing. The pace of Nature is a gift, not an obstacle.
In this final full week of the decade, all that is old is truly coming to an end. Under very different circumstances, we are urged to look ahead.
The theme of abundance continues this week, for if dreams and wishes are the children of our souls, then it is time to lavish them with affection.
Our card this week shows that loss and grief are inescapable. But by honoring what we are feeling, the path of healing awaits. Love has our backs.
As Winter ends, we are liberated from the somber messages of the last two weeks. Choose your target. Grow your wings. There is magic in the air.
Under the Harvest Moon this week, a rare visitor reminds us there is a fine line between hero and martyr. Busy and productive are not the same thing.
