Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Halloween Tarot, by Karin Lee, art by Kipling West, and published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Six of Bats (Air/Swords)

The incoming week, in addition to being filled with the usually spooky fun for this time of year, is liable to hold promising signs of improvement and better times soon to arrive. Decisive action may be required to head off and overcome potentially difficult or troublesome situations. The need to let go of past issues and emotional baggage in order to move forward and on to greener pastures is also indicated.

Conversely, holding on to beliefs, practices, and relationships that no longer serve to provide positive aspects may prevent the ability to advance one’s personal practices, career, and relationships. Recognizing that a transition is already underway and embracing it rather than fighting it is likely to be key. Additionally, wrapping up loose ends and unfinished business is also indicated.
