Three of Wands and Two of Swords
The cards for this week both point to pausing and contemplation. They are not about taking action but thinking through our next steps and practicing mindfulness.
With a Full Moon on November 15, we gather our energy and plant our seeds for the future. It’s a time to be kind to ourselves and listen to our needs.
Our first card is the Three of Wands, which is about perspective and our place in the world. It calls us to use our successes, privileges, or power to support others.
We climb the mountain to see the path from a new perspective. We take in where we are now and think deeply about where to go.
From high above, we can see our next step. We seek knowledge and opportunities for growth, aiming to improve ourselves and embrace new experiences.
Take advantage of this energy and ask the Universe to send you ways to expand. We are starting to see our infinite potential and letting those blocks fall by the wayside.
We are usually our own biggest obstacles to success. It is our disbelief, fear, and stubbornness that block us. With the Three of Wands, we stand above the fog and see how to get out of our own way.
We are learning to unite with powerful forces in the Universe to become more successful. We see how our communities play a huge part in lifting us so we can grow.
We know the work and knowledge we will need to advance. We are ready for the task. We let the medicine of these cards work its magic.
The Two of Swords is about taking time to pause. In the card, two swords are crossed above a still sea, and everything is quiet for a moment. We can step into this energy this week by centering our bodies.
Take some time to connect to your physical being with a body scan. Sit or lay comfortably and go through each of your body parts, visualizing a warm light radiating comfort to each area. This activity is for your body, but it will also do wonders to calm your mind.
With this new energy, insights into how to solve issues we may be facing will come through clearly. We will see how to move through the turmoil we currently find ourselves in. We will see the light this week, whether at work, in a relationship, or with ourselves.
If you are honest about your feelings, you can tend to them. It might be a more difficult task at first, but it brings you more peace overall to deal with things head-on.
Our shift in perspective will allow us to know what is important and let everything else fall away. We will feel some hope about the future and see the strengths rather than only the deficits.
Mantra for the week: I invite peace into my mind and heart. I walk a new path toward expansion.
