Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Blood Moon Tarot, by Sam Guay, and published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Ten (10) of Honey (Pentacles)

This week ahead holds the potential for securing a future for those who come after us, a legacy, if you will. It may also contain strong reminders that we all stand on the shoulders of giants, and the bones of our ancestors. Recognizing these facts, and taking steps to ensure that the future as we envision it has the best possible odds of becoming reality is liable to be in sharp focus.

Conversely, there may be a sense of never quite attaining the tools and resources required to complete the path work to achieve a better future. The potential for feeling hopeless, and even turning to less savory methods of accomplishing long-term goals are unlikely to safeguard visions of the future. Nor will it be remembered in a positive light.
