Queen of Disks and Ten of Wands
This week, we welcome the beginning of Scorpio Season on October 22. We have two cards to guide us during this time. These cards symbolize the conclusion of a cycle and the power we possess as we embark on a new journey.
Let’s start with the Ten of Wands. This card speaks to the many burdens we have been carrying and the exhaustion we might feel. But the number ten shows us we are at the end of a cycle and that things cannot continue at this rate.
The many wands of this card represent our thoughts, worries, and responsibilities. We built them up slowly, but now the load feels too heavy, and we are at our limit. Things might feel out of our control. We strongly desire change, yet that change feels elusive.
Hope may wane at times because we are not seeing the impacts of our efforts. Irritation and disappointment could come to the surface. However, since we know we are at the end of a cycle, we can sigh relief that a new path is on the horizon.
The Ten of Wands also points to a block in our communication. There are things we want to get off our chest that we have had a hard time saying. Perhaps we don’t know the right words to express our feelings, but Scorpio’s energy will push us to uncover what we need to say.
How can we clarify what we need to express this week? How can we ask for help when things feel overwhelming? How can we take steps towards our desired outcome?
I recommend writing things down. Write what you need to release and where you want to see changes. Doing this will help get the energy out of your body and into the universe, where it can be processed and eventually healed.
We are being called to work on the wands we carry and allow others to help us. Remember, we do not have to take on everything all at once. As a first step, start by sharing your burdens aloud and then go from there.
The Queen of Disks guides us through the next steps. This card is connected to our strong female ancestors who want to support us. In times of struggle, the Queen of Disks often appears. She lets us know the true power of our presence.
I believe this Queen is speaking to us individually and the world. She is here to remind us of our personal and collective power.
With her crown of twisted horns, this fierce Queen looks back fondly at their journey thus far. She has gone the distance and is taking time to honor all she has accomplished. She reminds us to do the same.
Underestimating our ability to handle what lies ahead and overestimating how challenging it will be is where our fear lives. The Queen reminds us that we can tackle anything we are faced with and always have. The next thing we face will be no different.
The Queen of Disks is an earth card that brings a grounding force. She helps us connect to our core and plant our feet securely on the ground. I need that energy right now; I’m sure many of us do.
This card is also the ‘queen’ of boundaries. She helps us say no to things that bring us down and say goodbye to people who drain us. We are too competent and experienced to allow our energy to be harmed.
We have overcome challenges and let go of people who did not serve our highest good. We no longer accept toxic behavior from others.
Like the Queen, we are growing older, but instead of being bitter or jaded, we are becoming wiser and more confident. We know what we are capable of and are proud of the person we are becoming.
The passage of time has given us strength and intelligence. We are grateful for our past because it has made us who we are. We are also excited about our future because we will use our wisdom to accomplish great things.
By making decisions that raise our vibrations and propel us forward, we are walking the path of the Queen of Disks. Her comfort and power will guide us to our next evolution through compassion and wisdom.
Mantra for the week: I release what I can no longer carry, grounding myself to draw strength from within.
