Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Santa Muerte Tarot: Book of the Dead, by Fabio Listrani, and published by Lo Scarabeo.

Card: Six (6) of Wands

This week, look for success and victories that are accompanied by public kudos. While doing work that is personally fulfilling and satisfying is something everyone should aspire to, having it acknowledged by others takes it to another level of achievement. It can also open doors to advancement in careers, financial endeavors, and long-held desires.

In contrast, some milestones and accomplishments are deeply personal and private and don’t need to be shared or shouted from the rooftops. How success is defined on an individual level can influence and reflect how public praise is perceived. Additionally, being overly invested in receiving widespread recognition for deeds done can be emotionally crushing when there is little to none expressed.
