A Reading For When Things Are Hard

I like to turn to the cards when I feel hopeless, and believe it or not, my decks have gotten me out of very dark places. I take great pride in the messages I put out there, and hope they can help you as much as tarot continues to help me.

THE QUEEN OF SWORDS

You may be thinking too much with your heart. We can’t let emotions alone be the thing to guide us through the hardships of life. It leaves our vision clouded, and the skies above a bleak shade of grey.

Establish a clear vision for yourself and start your journey there. Everything can be broken down logically. Let our inner strength lead us in the direction we need to go. Confidence and assertiveness lead to success. No one is going to give you what you want, you have to go out and grab it by any means necessary.

You may struggle to let people close, which again can make you come across mean and arrogant. But that doesn’t mean that you are, and the people that matter will understand and accept this. You are upfront and honest about your views, and expect others to be the same.

This card is reminding you to recognize your own resilience. You are not to be messed with. You are not to be crossed. Your boundaries are rock solid and that is off putting by most — but you’re not most people. It’s time to embrace that. There’s quite literally a throne waiting for you, it’s up to you to respect yourself enough to claim it.

DOWNCAST PRIDE

“The true delusion is our faith in Fall and Winter, while we discard Spring and Summer as fairytales. The change can change color too, as long as we sometimes look up, we can notice”.

Better days do wait for those that work hard and are patient. When life has been nothing but struggle, it’s hard to see a point in waking up every morning. The beautiful reality is, that you can work your way towards your goals. Maybe you need to juggle three different jobs before you can embark on your dream job — but wouldn’t that still be worthwhile? People waste their whole lives living in regret. Why not make the changes you can with your current budget, and the literal world at your fingertips. The internet offers a lot of free and easily accessible information. Find communities to get your foot inside the door, and listen to others and how they made your dreams their reality. Learn to be happy for others, and know that good things take time. It’s time to build the foundations needed to build your dream life.
