Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Sacred Circle Tarot, by Cathy McClelland, by Anna Franklin, illustrated by Paul Mason, and published by Llewellyn Publications

Card: Page of Cups – Reflection

The next seven days are liable to stir the cauldron of ancestral knowledge and genetic memory, particularly as it applies to the use of intuition. This might just be the week to truly trust your gut instincts. There is also likely to be a creative or innovative thread running through the week’s events that may present an opportunity for a pleasant surprise. Be ready to stay the course because anything is possible for those who are determined in the pursuit of their objective.

In contrast, second-guessing pending decisions and doubting what is felt on soul level will only add to any confusion. There is the potential for a creative block or just feeling stuck on how to proceed. Additionally, be mindful of those who lean towards being selfish, or even bitter, and take care to avoid them whenever possible, as negative emotions can be contagious. Letting go of past grudges before they can make the holder of them mentally or physically unwell is indicated.
