Spiritual Sunday #1

(Jeez. Look at the reversed cards in this reading!!
We need to do some inner work!)

This week's theme

Hermit = take a step back, withdraw from the confusion and chaos of the outer world, center yourself again and rediscover your inner light

This week's personal issue

Brother of Fire Reversed = your focus is turbulent and misdirected, you have lost touch with who you are, what your purpose is and how you are designed to express this.

You may be moving too fast, or trying to do too much. You may be overwhelmed by all that's going on. If you haven't hit this point already, if this keeps up, you may become paralyzed, stagnant, unable to move -- because you don't know what to do next.

Clear your schedule of everything but absolute necessities. Do some radical self-care. Calm your inner turmoil at least to the point you can hear yourself think.

Say loving, positive things to yourself. Treat yourself kindly. Keep doing this until you remember who you are, what your purpose is, what you are designed to do, and what you want to accomplish. Move forward when you're ready again, but not until.

You're harming yourself in your present state. You're no good to anyone else either. This needs to stop so you can hit the reset button -- and be at peace. Revive your confidence and intentions again -- even if you have to redefine them.

This week's emotional issue

One of Water Reversed = lack of joy, lack of creative zest, lack of meaning

Love yourself more. Treat yourself better. What in the world are you thinking? Express your feelings, but be authentic. Be honest with yourself. What makes you happy? (Or what would make you happy?) Do more of that. You've been miserable long enough. "Start small" if you have to, but put an end to this. Start moving in a better direction.

This week's intellectual issue

Nine of Wind Reversed = emerging from a time of worry, anxiety, apprehension -- even fear or terror.

Think some positive thoughts once in a while. You need a new perspective. You may have recently been through an experience that was terribly upsetting -- even traumatic, but you are moving away from it -- and its effects.

Don't linger over it any longer if you can help it. Your own mind -- your own thoughts -- are causing you trouble. You need a chance to heal. Talk about your experience or your situation with someone if you need to.

Just naming a thing can rob it of its power. It can also change your perceptions. "Stuffing it down" to the point it becomes unmentionable is a kind of poison. At least get it out in the open. That will help if you're having serious trouble. Consider professional help if you're dealing with something major. Again, be honest with yourself. You need to at least be on your own side in this. Seriously.

This week's practical issue

Three of Earth = standing on solid ground, recovering your sense of self-worth, creating something practical and useful, building on firm foundations, applying your skills to something of value

Accomplish something you can be proud of this week. Define what that is ... and make it your priority. Establish positive progress. If nothing else, contribute your input and exceptional skills to some collaborative effort.

Even if what you choose isn't worth much to anyone else, make it meaningful to you. Then you can build on this success. It's time to get your feet back under you.
