From The Mire To The Castle

Deck used is the Everyday Tarot by Bridgit Esselmont

I feel like the readings I’ve done here have all been reinforcing the idea of being on a journey these past several months. It’s been a long, hard walk for us all, and in the last few days, things have come to light that I still have a long way to go. All of us have been in a holding pattern and we’re tired of it. I know I am. There have been so many emotions attached to this, but how do we move on when we feel stuck? Let’s see how things go.

The Cards

from the Everyday Tarot by Bridget Esselmont

5 of cups: a situation turns out poorly and you’re sad, regretful, and disappointed. Don’t get lost in the mire of your emotions. You can still pick up and move on.

Page of wands: free spirit, passionate for life, new ideas, and a sense of creative restlessness, feeling a strong pull to use this energy to start a new life.

3 of pentacles: collaboration, creating synergy, achieving big results, a balance of the wisdom of the experts with the new ideas of the novices

6 of cups: happy memories from the past, reuniting with friends, a period of being carefree and harmonious.

Death: powerful changes and transformation, the old falls away and new opportunities will emerge

Page of pentacles: inspiration to start a new financial or career opportunity, level up, and learn something new

The magician: you have what it takes to manifest your goals and you use magic and practicality to see them come to pass.

Over the past few months, there have been many changes and transitions that have happened for me that have caused situations to fall apart. The moment I created them, I thought they were going to work, and they didn’t. This has caused me to feel so much pain and hurt and it’s been difficult to deal with them, however, I can’t mire myself in these emotions. I still have things I can move on with and there is no dead end to the road I’m on. I can change the sadness I’m experiencing from the loss of this situation to ones that allow my creative free spirit to flow and be free. I’ll be able to use this to start over, especially when it comes to starting a new career or financial opportunity. One thing I’ve also realized is that I have been here in the past. I’ve experienced this with old jobs; recently, it was losing my job at the bookstore that caused me to walk the path of being a business owner myself. I’m grateful for this opportunity and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
