Hi, everyone. I hope that the past two weeks found you working with the Queen of Swords’ energy, which asked you to put the past behind and look towards the future. This week, the Five of Swords provides a warning that there might be discord around you, whether in your personal Life or at work, and therefore, you must do all that you can to take care of yourself.

The Five of Swords is about putting your own self-interest first – not in a negative, narcissistic way, but in a way that enables you to traverse unseen minefields and remain whole and intact. The Five of Swords asks you to keep your eyes and ears open and be aware of what’s going on around you. This card also asks that you don’t lower yourself to act in a manner similar to those creating the discord.

When you find yourself in negative situations, it can be difficult to be restrained. However, this is the best way to take care of yourself. Don’t hide. But, remain above others’ attempts to draw you into battle. Speak your truth, let your integrity shine, and know that, no matter how difficult the situation, as long as you’re not trying to bring the other person(s) down who manifested the negative situation, you will be okay. Probably more than a bit exhausted and irritated, but okay.

These past few weeks have not been easy for most. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that, lately, Life has been exhausting and draining. However, it’s time to let the events of recent weeks go, as this week’s indicator card – the Queen of Swords – urges us to leave the past behind and look towards the future.

Moving forward, you’ll want to keep as focused and aware as possible. The Queen of Swords represents the ability to see situations as they really are, as opposed to how others might want you to see them. It’s possible that people, either in your personal or professional life, might try to manipulate you or a situation with which you are involved this week. Just remember to be alert and draw on the keen insight offered by the Queen of Swords, to avoid and maneuver any sticky situations that arise.

You can also use this penetrating insight to help others in need this week. Perhaps you know of someone who is unable to see their own potential and is struggling because of their lack of self-esteem. Step in, take them by the hand, and help them understand what they have yet to see about themselves. I imagine many people are in need of some emotional support and guidance, particularly in these precarious times.

Hi, everyone. Hope you survived this past week, intact. One reader wrote to tell me that she’d had a really rough week at work, as did I. However, for me, the Seven of Swords’ energy did help me push through and reveal some of the lies that had been told. I’m still having to deal with leftover residue, and I’m not without bruises – in fact, I feel like I’ve been in a boxing match for months. However, I am still standing.

This week should prove to be “interesting”. After meditating, I pulled one of the most negative cards in the deck. I said to the Universe, “Nope, not having it,” and proceeded to reshuffle and pull another card, again negative. So I reshuffled and pulled yet a third negative card.

At that point, I put down the cards and said, “Enough! I will not write another negative blog this week, and far too many of us have put up with far too much!” I proceeded to shuffle again, and pulled The Hermit. However, when I looked at the card behind The Hermit, it was the original nasty card that had appeared. So, this tells me that, we’re facing another tough week and the Universe is telling us to heed The Hermit’s warning and go within.
