I think this might be the understatement of the year to say that there’s been a whole heck of a lot going on with the world. We’ve been worried and scared for the coming days that it seems to have been very hard to make sense of it all. Believe me, sometimes, this happens to me too. But I think it’s good to take a pause and try and collect our racing thoughts. I know, I know, easier said than done with all that’s going on right now... It’s worth a try though so let's see what the cards have to say.

from the Zombie Tarot by Sarah Graham

The Cards

4 of Swords: retreat, rest, recovery

Knight of Cups: Romantic, Adventure, Moody

3 of Cups: Celebration, partnership, good times

The Devil: Temptation, Excess, self-destruction

The Empress: Fertility, Maternal, success

So the thought that immediately comes to mind first is the idea that I need to rest, retreat and recover. I’ve been in an adventurous state where I’ve been trying new things and experimenting with what I know. It’s been amazing so far, but like I’ve said in past readings, sometimes this experimental, adventurous state I’m in right now has been wearing on me. Giving on an empty tank isn’t really giving and needing to take a break is absolutely necessary to come back up to normal. There will be times of celebration and partnership where the good times will roll again and I’ll be able to see friends and loved ones without fearing the outcomes, but when this happens for me, I need to make sure that I acknowledge where my temptations, excesses and self-destructive behaviors come in. Knowing what these things are will help me deal with them, even if they cause hurt and pain to come to me.. If I do get into a place of hurt and pain, I need to treat myself with loving, maternal energy so I can heal and become new again. There will be times where I try to do things that don’t work out; this may be the cause of the hurt. But I need to hold onto the fact that I’ve already achieved so much and that I am strong enough to bounce back from the fall if it happens.
