I felt a strong message coming through this morning that felt bigger than just for me, so I sat with Spirit and pulled some cards. Maybe this message is for you… ✨
The Chariot (reversed) speaks to feeling stuck, off course, uninspired or unmotivated, or like you just can’t get things to go how you want them to go. This card in its reversed position asks you to ask yourself: what is going on internally? What thoughts, beliefs, suppressed emotions (or even external stimuli) are clouding your connection to what your heart desires and knows is possible?
Ten of Cups upright is a card of deep fulfillment and harmony. Reversed, it tells us something is in the way. Cups are highly emotional cards, so there’s a big chance you aren’t letting yourself feel. Collecting all that heaviness is making your Chariot difficult to move and your compass impossible to read. Avoiding, ignoring and suppressing isn’t working anymore.
Ace of Wands and The Hanged Man help us see what we can do to shift out of this cycle. Ace of Wands tells us we have to seize opportunities when they arise. We can apply the classic “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink” metaphor here. Spirit is literally handing you opportunities to listen to and honor what you feel, but you have to choose to do something different than stuff it down, pretend you’re ok or try to force yourself to feel different. At the same time, The Hanged Man reminds us that it is in our hands to shift our perspective. Maybe we can’t see the opportunity because we’re so convinced we don’t deserve joy or we’re so focused on all the bad things happening in the world or we’re anxiously awaiting the other shoe to drop.
To move in the direction of deep fulfillment, we must be willing to FEEL, consider that what’s happening may hold value and opportunity, AND take every opportunity to receive love (however silly or small or subtle it seems).
So often the love we need most is our own, and the most overlooked way of giving that love to ourselves is to listen to what we feel and trust its guidance 🤍✨
