Card of the day: 4 of Swords. I love these illustrations together today. It almost feels like a map with the swords directing you where to go and step by step. But what is their direction? Both the 4 and the 7 of swords call for retreating. The 4 calls for meditation, while the 7 cautions you to hang back and protect yourself. We do have a full moon in Scorpio this weekend among many other intense energies at this time. Scorpio is the intense-est of the intense. Big, deep emotions could be arising starting yesterday or the day before, only increasing with this moon. Take the hint and rest. Take note of how Scorpio energy affects you. This all really depends on where Scorpio falls in your chart, and I highly suggest you look into it. For me, it is in the area of my health and daily routines and so I am being extra mindful of my eating and rest patterns; I'm also trying to be extra organized in my to-dos, checking things off the list as I go. You can see that this mindfulness is only to your benefit as the Ace of Pentacles tells of a prosperous new beginning of some kind happens for you once it passes. This is simply a practical advice reading today and as a not always very practical human, I appreciate it.

Namaste 💜
