Burned out, emotionally and physically exhausted. 3 questions I asked of the cards:

1. What do I need to focus my energy on right now? Page of Swords

Bringing forth new ideas, searching to communicate clearly and cut through the bullshit. I imagine this card speaks to focus on writing and doing projects that are in my own voice / for my own work, not to focus on projects that are just in support of others' agendas. Garner strength to develop and put forth my own narrative voice. 

2. What do I need to let go of, to do this work? Three of Swords

Grief, heartbreak, fear of past failures repeating themselves. In professional / personal life, both have been very fraught when it comes to my writing practice and confidence in my work. Even if I wasn't supported in the past with doing this work, history doesn't have to repeat itself. I don't have to go it alone or feel/be so unsupported anymore.

3. What energy/mentality/support do I need to call in, to continue this work? The Fool

Take the leap, approach this period with a beginner's mind. Seek to learn from this process even as I am working on sharing my own knowledge out with others. Have fun during the process of writing and of sharing/giving talks or presentations. Find some pleasure in doing this work.

8/5/20: Seven of Pentacles

-

I've lost track of the days and have been slack on the tarot class because I am drowning in work- and yet don't feel like I've done any work at all. Feeling like I'm operating in panic / scarcity mode and not able to focus on one thing, because everything is pulling me at once. This feels like a time of a lot of possibility and growth, and also I am scared of making the wrong decisions and messing this up. I need to remember to draw on Seven of Pentacles energy to be aware of what needs to be protected (my time, my writing, my relationships) and what I can let go of hoarding (fear of scarcity, loss).

The Fool's Journey

-

The Fool begins her journey meeting The Magician.  From the magician she learns about communing powerfully with the natural world, and drawing on relationships to nature and the earth to build relationships with self. Meeting the Magician is a reminder that there is beauty and things unknown in the world- things that cannot be explained by logic/rules. The Fool then meets The High Priestess , who is more reserved. From the openness of the Magician, we go to the more withdrawn or wary High Priestess, who advises one to intuit your own knowledge, balanced by outside knowledge. She can be a bit black and white at times, but tries to find fairness and balance of knowledge. The Empress is a formidable figure, who shows the Fool what growing up into Femme power can really look like. The Empress takes no shit, but rules with love. The Emperor is intimidating too, with a hard-set face and a colder demeanor. From the Emperor the Fool learns how to set hard boundaries, to be cold or cl

Personal Card: The Lovers

My birth card: The Lovers Unity between heart and mind professional goals and personal dreams - find the balance this life path i am on is about healing my relationships to family, to self, friends, lovers need to work on making heart-centered choices  how do i trust myself to do the right things? Free write about what I want to do with this course: I'm interested in deepening my practice in tarot - to move from still relying on other guides to trusting myself and my own interpretations. I don't think that tarot can predict the future- it is a useful tool for us to check in with ourselves and to make sense of threads or events- to create a narrative that we can use to course-correct or to help begin taking more decisive actions. I think tarot can be a good tool of gathering information by/for yourself, especially at times of crisis or change when things don't feel clear cut or are just plain confusing. It is like astrology in this way, but perhaps works at an even more pers
