This week's mini tarot read message is presented to me as a past present future sort of timeline. First, we have the "Queen of Athames" this card is showing you as being the introvert and the hyper focused. See how she is so focused on the perfection and the way the flowers look on the table, that she is not noticing anything else around her. There is a golden finch outside of her window waiting for her to notice its presence. This to me is your team or the universe sending you signs, messages, and directions that you are missing, while being so focused on the perfectionist in you needing to make everything look just right. But, if you were to break that hyper focus and look up, you would see the finch and more than likely heed the message it brings.
Then we come to the "Three of Wands", he is gazing at the ship unloading its cargo. Notice there is a rat on the boxes, which tells me that this is his abundance. The abundance that he has been successful in accumulating with all his efforts and chances that he has already taken. I am also being reminded, that he is looking out upon the big wide ocean, which just screams to me endless possibilities! All he needs to do is look past what is right in front of him. This comes just after the call for you to “look up” and pay better attention from the first card.
Next comes the "Nine of Wands", here we have a craftsman displaying is work that he is proud of, yet he looks tense and nervous, maybe even upset. There is a fairy off to the right side, this to me feels like tricky energy, which I interpreted as, being both within yourself or outside of you in your surroundings. He is worried about not getting the credit he feels he deserves for his work. But also, a small fear that others may try to copy or even take credit for what he has already created. Again, they are giving me the feeling that, this may be something you're perceiving in your mind, or it can possible be energy outside of yourself, this is where your discernment comes in. There is a mole coming up out of the ground off to the left side, moles are mostly blind in daylight, which says to me that you need to trust in yourself and your ability to succeed. You don't need your physical eyes to see the truth in the world around you.
Which directly brings us to the "Queen of Chalices", she is sitting tall and proud on her throne, even though there are waves crashing all around her. She holds her cup close to her as if she is protecting it. She seems unphased by the chaos ensuing all around her. This is saying to me that she is strong and stable upon her rock of truth and in her knowing. She is protecting what is dear to her, but not clenching it nervously. She is stable and confident! She's staying calm controlling her feelings no matter what is going on outside of her. She no longer allows the chaotic outside world to affect her own emotions. She stays steady and knows her truth. With the crab at her side, she knows to be careful who she lends her trust too, for not everyone is as stable as she.
Then our final card is "The Witch". There is so much personal power and freedom flowing through this card! Joy, love, and passion is so strongly felt here. She is harnessing her magic fully and manifesting her desired life. She is confidently out in the open for all to see, she is not hiding who she is, but rather displaying her true nature and truly owning it. She has a salt circle of protection around her. She is aware of her need to protect herself, but again she is not worried or stuck in a fear construct. She has discovered her power and she is trusting fully in every part of herself. She is happy and free! She's proud of who she is and how far she has come thus far.
This toss says to me, that if you haven’t already then you need to break your hyper fixation, look up and pay attention. Try to stay away from being overly controlling and a perfectionist because, you are missing the true message your guides and the Universe have for you. Once you are able to do that, you can start to trust that the ambitious actions that you put your time into will bring abundance to your doorstep. But not until you harness the steadiness of your emotions, so that the outside chaos no longer hinders you. You need to learn to trust yourself, stay calm through the rough waves of life, and then you will truly find yourself, your inner “magic”. You will no longer worry what others think about you and your true success will be found. You will no longer question yourself or hide away from the world. You will no longer look for everything to be prefect. If you are already on your journey and have started to find your strength, then keep going, because the last card will be your future and that is the true goal! But remember to stay humble and never forget where you started!
