Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Wicked Tarot Deck by Casey Gilly, illustrations by Cinthya Álvarez, published by Insight Editions.

Card: Ten (10) of Coins

The week ahead is likely to have an emphasis on the recognition of being surrounded and supported by like-minded folks who hold genuine affection for one another. Aspects of community cohesion, common goals, and the realization of having found a spiritual home may all be evident this week. There may also be a renewed effort in creating new traditions or modifying old ones that better express shifts in awareness and new realities.

Conversely, if there is a sense of being continually embattled and never coming out on top, it is probably a time to consider shifting one’s perception. Rather than focusing on what others have or are doing, time might be better spent digging into what really matters—and how to best manifest one’s heart’s desire. It can be easy to fall into the trap of worrying about the perceptions of others, but that is a distraction and should be avoided.
