Midyear Check in: What’s happened and where am I going next?

Deck used is the Mystic Mondays Tarot by Grace Duong

So this reading is going to reflect on the journey I’ve been on over the last 6 months of the year. Yes, it’s hard to deny that it’s been a bit… hellacious… these last several weeks but there’s been a lot of good things to happen to me since being in lockdown. I’ve formatted this reading to accommodate three different ideas, those being what I’ve learned, what I can potentially look forward to in the next few months and how I can grow from what I learn in the coming months. Also, I used one of my favorite decks for this reading. I wanted to add a bit of color to the readings and let me tell you loves, the Mystic Mondays Tarot does NOT disappoint. Here we go.

So what have I learned so far? Well, I’ve learned that for one, I need to be objective and take a fair minded approach to things in my life right now. While I am working on manifesting abundance and prosperity in my life, I need to understand that not everyone will support and care about how I’m choosing to do this for myself. I need to understand that while I may feel betrayed and back-stabbed by these people, it’s only a fatal blow if I let it be. In this case, I am going to do what I typically do for myself and pick myself up by the belt loops so I can move on. I need to do this so I an experience things as I want to. July was a month for questioning and this is certainly the case because I was putting together my website and had to look into things to make sure I was doing things to my standards. There were some lively conversations in there as well and I’m happy with that. Looking ahead, I can look forward to putting things together through teamwork, collaboration and synergy, but there will be challenges. Perhaps these will cause me to feel imbalanced, enslaved and trapped. Perhaps these challenges will require me to stand my ground. But whatever the case, I am going to treat myself with an open heart full of compassionate energy and self-love because whatever comes, however misaligned I may feel, there will be victory and clarity on the other side of the pain and hurt. These will allow me to analyze the situation in front of me without giving into the illusion of the situation.
