This week's mini tarot read is a "call out" from the Universe. You have been your own worst enemy recently, represented here with the Devil card. You're being called to "sit your ass down" and take serious inventory, specifically with your thought processes and the energy that you've been choosing to stay in. There's been some self-sabotaging patterns making their way "front and center". There have been several instances recently where you have been asked to stand tall and "hold that line" you drew, but when it came time to "put up or shut up" you pulled the rug out from right under yourself as you allowed your mind to play tricks on you.
The 5 of Swords in reversed here is asking you to "pick your battles". You've been given the clarity you asked for along your path to continue forward movement, but often you get distracted or caught up in mental turmoil and have a tendency to start playing out "worst case scenarios" rather than blindly trusting the process. I get the sense that this is something you have an awareness of and having been trying to work on, but lately it has been quite the struggle for you. You're being asked to focus and really pay attention where your energy goes and what are you attaching to, as you keep reaching crossroads more frequently on your path. But each time this is presented to you, the fear of doing things differently and the way you will be perceived by the world has been causing you to back track. And as a result, you go back to the "familiar path" each time, leading you back into what seems to be, what I would call, chaos energy and feels like you begin to "repeat the cycle". This is a battle of your mind. This is where you have been your own worst enemy.
The 2 of Wands out here represents your choice to "evolve or repeat". Wands represent the element of fire, this is your power, your confidence. We were just talking about crossroads and here it is! You're being asked to stop avoiding taking actions in your life where you have been making yourself "small" and "settling" for less than you deserve.
The Moon card out here brings the energy of illusions and is tied directly to the fear you've been projecting (intentionally or not) into your present reality. My team is saying this fear stems from the "unknown". You're someone who tends to hold on a little too tightly to the reins rather than allowing yourself to go with the flow and allow for things to unfold naturally. This card also brings a second message with it tied directly to your intuition. You have been guilty many of times of discrediting yourself and your "feelings" because of the "expectations" you have assigned to them. It's not that your intuition has been wrong, the pieces just didn't "click" into place as you expected. I keep hearing you "attached to a desired outcome". Spirit, God, Creator, the Universe, whatever your understanding is in that space, is asking you to pause, get out of your head and take another look at how things have been unfolding in your life. You are being asked to trust not just Spirit but yourself and do so unwaveringly. It's time to start to truly trusting the process instead of trying to control the process and allow your life to take a new direction.
