This week's mini tarot read was thrown using the Sacred Web Tarot Deck.
The "10 of Air" is our first card out and I'm immediately hearing the quote "awareness without action is worthless". I'm feeling a very anxious energy present, someone who doesn't trust in themselves and has been afraid to take "the next step" for fear that they are "letting others down". You are the only thing standing in the way of the freedom that you seek. I'm drawn to the wolf symbolism on this card and I'm hearing that you "confused loyalty with stupidity", you've been waiting for things to change in a stagnant situation. You "normalized" the chaos because "peace isn't something you know". The longer you sit and observe the more has been revealed to you...I'm hearing "further into the darkness" you've gone, because it's in the darkest of places light shines the brightest. This hasn't been an easy place to sit as it has brought deep seated pain to the surface, but I'm hearing "you have seen all that you need to", in this current situation. It's time to honor all parts of yourself for how they have helped you to grow and move past this "inability to move" energy that you've been sitting in.
This call to action leads us to the next card in our spread which is "The Burn", card which is symbolic of a period of revolution in your life. The etymology of the word revolution is to "roll back". The Burn card is asking you to look at the camouflage you've painted yourself in, the masks that you've been wearing, everything you've been concealing about yourself, calling on you to "cast it off", and remove it once and for all. There's this fire energy that's been gaining strength in your gut that is being referred to as your life force energy "churning". There is no need to hide behind your wounds anymore.
This takes us into our next card, "The Bind" card, which is all about transformation and I'm hearing "the ties that bind". You're being asked here to take a hard look at what you are holding onto "too tightly", because true transformation comes from release. I'm being taken back to that churning life force energy, but this time it's bridging into the heart space. I'm hearing living from the heart reveals illusions and that only you have the power to set yourself free. All the perceived obstacles of feeling stuck, of not knowing what step to take next, that inability to move energy that was mentioned with the first card, all of it was just an illusion of your creating, you were never stuck. You just had to learn to trust and believe in yourself first, to stop living for others first while putting yourself on the back burner, to stop staying in spaces that you had outgrown under the guise of the martyr. I'm now hearing that quote "when you let go of your ego, your soul awakens". This was all about getting out of your own way, accepting your part, and moving forward. This brings us to our final card, the "Sacred Cosmic Self", which is asking you to "root yourself" in your life force energy. This is the essence of who you are and you are being asked to no longer dim your light or mask yourself anymore for any reason.
