Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Ghosts & Spirits Tarot Deck,by Lisa Hunt, published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Queen Of Swords

This week is liable to call for guidance that is independent from the situation at hand, as well as unbiased decision-making that is underwritten with intelligence and the ability to see clearly. Being able to determine what is true versus wishful thinking is likely to play a major role. As is the ability to speak the truth, even if only to oneself.

Conversely, allowing emotions to drive decisions rather than taking a step back and taking time to fully examine an issue has the potential to result in poor outcomes. There may be hard choices to make this week, but being thoughtful and deliberative is the key to producing the most desirable results. Resist any urges to be callous or unkind.
