The Knight of Wands and The Hermit
This week, we have a New Moon in Cancer on June 25, and our guide cards speak to deep reflection and thoughtful plans of action. With wisdom from our cards, we will confidently emerge from this week with our next steps.
Our first card this week is the Knight of Wands. This card is all about vision, leadership, and fire. It is energetic, enthusiastic, and aware. The influence of this card and the New Moon heightened our insights.
This Knight is full of warm enthusiasm and is ready to go. He is often known as the ‘Lord of Lightning’ and can bring new energy to stagnant situations.
There will be unexpected shifts this week that lead you to new paths. Places where you have felt blocked will open up. You will take on a more positive perspective under the influence of the Knight of Wands.
This card represents the importance of achieving our goals respectfully and efficiently. It emphasizes the need to attain what we desire through consideration and passion.
Under the Knight of Wands, we adopt a more positive perspective, which causes unexpected shifts in energy. Blockages are swept out of our path, allowing us to move forward in our chosen direction.
Use this gentle strength to propel yourself forward. A grounded but confident approach will open doors that were once closed. You will be able to connect in ways that make others feel safe and allow you to move forward with grace.
We open our minds and see things differently. We also see that asking for help should be a priority, especially if we have felt stuck on our own.
With the support of the Knight of Wands, we will get out of our way. He knows there is no time like the present, and we already have everything we need to be successful if we only believe it.
Our second card for the week is The Hermit, which is all about creating the time and space to journey inside ourselves. The card shows a figure turning inward, shining a beautiful light on the path before them. Through intentional alone time, we can tune out the voices of others and hear our wisdom.
By quieting our minds, we can also receive divine messages. We will gain new insights and become closer to our truths. The Hermit energy will support the clarity you need if you have been struggling with direction or a difficult decision.
The Hermit card speaks to the personal spiritual journeys used by many cultures. How can you create your own spiritual ritual to find answers? A relaxing bath, quiet meditation, some time to journal, or even a long walk alone will help set the right tone for doing the Hermit’s work.
Seek support from your community to take time for yourself. Connecting with your inner self will benefit both you and your loved ones, as it helps ground and nourish you.
Mantra for the week: I set aside time to connect with myself. I use my fire and warmth to get things done.
