Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: LThe Colorful Tears Tarot, bby Rebecca Schoenecker, published by Laughing Eye Weeping Eye.

Card: Major Arcana 0, The Dreamer (The Fool)

This week there is the potential for believing in and exploring infinite possibilities, unexpected new beginnings, and even maybe dreaming the impossible. A marked sense of freedom and being so unfettered that new realities seem more possible than in the past may also be a factor. Additionally, an emphasis on creative endeavors and thinking outside of the box is likely.

Conversely, sometimes impossible dreams in their raw form are just that—impossible. A reality check that results in reworking ideas and visions into a more practical approach or plan may be imminent. Dreams can still become a solid reality with a more critical eye for details and planning.
