Card of the Day for Tuesday 12 October - XI JUSTICE

This card speaks to me today of challenging the things that you see as unfair by looking deep within yourself and acting on your own values rather than the actions and what you perceive to be the shortfalls of others.

Sometimes we can get so caught up in ideals when there is an inequality in a situation that we move further and further away from balance rather than being able to correct an incongruence.

This is not to say that you should allow yourself to be wronged but just remember that other people's actions are their own, not yours, and you can always choose your own actions based on your sense of right. Acknowledge your feelings as valid but seek for your actions to restore balance where you would have balance in your life and your relationships.

Card of the Day for Monday 11 Octiber - V of Wands

What and what are the enemies we create in our own minds and, more to the point, why do we create them?

Life can feel like a constant battle, especially if we allow ourselves to fall into the traps that make this statement true. Some days, despite how happy and full of hope we may feel when we first wake up, can still feel like a struggle, but it is still all a matter of perspective.

Even if it is harder sometimes for us to find that seed of positivity inside us, it is always there, we just need to (for)give ourselves a few extra moments of inner peace and calm to find it and encourage it into our lives.

This is not to say that things will suddenly be less busy or that there will be less demands or less people rubbing us the wrong way, but it will mean that we have within us each day the tools we need to equip ourselves with to get through these times.

Card of the Day for Sunday 10 October - VIII of Coins

Refining my skills? Perhaps...

The eight of coins asks us to look further into the details of the things we have created and focus our attentions and hard work on the finer points of our creations. In order to do this, we need to work out what we need to sacrifice so that we can be more successful in our efforts. In order to create intricate works of art in our life (metaphorically as well as literally) we are unlikely to be able to maintain the same volume or quantity but the value of our works will increase exponentially as a result so we end up working smarter and not harder.
