Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Poe Tarot,by Trisha Leigh Shufelt, published by REDFeather, Mind, Body Spirit, an imprint of Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.

Card: Major Arcana VII (7) – The Chariot

The week ahead offers the promise of rewards and success for those who have mastered the art of determination, force of will, and self-control, as well as the ability to rise above challenges and obstacles. Staying focused and not allowing distractions to derail progress are apt to be key in achieving success. There is also the potential for travel that can lead to an epiphany. If an opportunity to travel arises, take it!

Conversely, feeling overwhelmed is a likely result of attempting to push forward with a plan that requires adjustment or tweaking. There may also be an element of recklessness that undermines the goal sought and results in exhaustion from misplaced or wasted energy. If things are not going as desired, take a step back and re-evaluate plans before renewing efforts to continue.
