THE DEVIL, 6 OF SWORDS (REVERSED), AND ACE OF PENTACLES
THE DEVIL card dares you to ask what you’re hiding from. What are you afraid to look at? Does it feel like you’re stuck? Do you feel undeserving of what you really want? How might you be blindly consenting to a status quo that goes against what you truly value? How might you be unknowingly keeping yourself stagnant in places you’d like to be blooming?
You might feel like looking at some part of yourself, or making one specific change in your life could force you to look at A LOT of other parts or make A LOT of other changes. Maybe that’s a little scary, maybe you’re overwhelmed. Let’s say you’re at a tipping point this month, coming to terms with your current reality and the role you play in it. Are you keeping yourself in a holding pattern in an effort to save yourself the inevitable grief involved with change?
The path you choose is all up to you. There’s really no wrong way to live your life. Remember, ultimately, you are your own most powerful authority. You are in the drivers seat, you get to choose the speed at which you move, the turns you make, the places you pump the breaks. You don’t have to look at the thing, or make the change right now, but my sense is that you can choose the change or the change will choose you. Either way is fine, don’t make this harder on yourself than you have to.
As you navigate this energy, the SIX OF SWORDS (REVERSED) shows you that there will be a grieving process involved in attaining your inevitable freedom. Make sure you move through that experience with compassion, softness, and tenderness. In growth cycles, we often have to let some things go or reorganize completely if we want the shift, the healing, and the new way of walking through the world. You may have to start from the ground up, it may feel a bit raw, but if that’s the case, it’s for the best.
It’s recommended to start small, the suit of swords in a reversed position like this warns us that acting out of haste or resentment might cause more pain than necessary. Do what you need to in order to make peace within yourself first, then make choices from a place of true acceptance.
The ACE OF PENTACLES turns up to let us know that once you move through the challenges, new opportunities and different energetic frequencies are eager to collaborate with you. Ask yourself how you can begin to reimagine and align with your dreams this month?
Do you have a dream or goal that is rooted in love, abundance, and sustainability? Maybe you can’t quite see the whole dream, you’re just gathering up parts of it. This is your official invitation to dream BIG, get to imagining the all the little details, setting the scene in your mind so that the the universe can show up as your co-conspirator. Imagine what it would feel, smell, taste, look, and sound like if your dream were a reality. This is the gestation phase, don’t censor your ideas, or start telling yourself you’re being unrealistic, or that you are not deserving of what you most desire. You can always refine things later. The pathway forward will begin to reveal itself when you allow yourself to believe that your dreams are very possible.
What parts of your dream are you already embodying? How can you anchor more deeply into that? If your future self were here to give you a pep talk right now, what would they say to you?
