Empress and the King of Wands

I am using the Crystal Visions tarot deck to get some insights into the opportunities and challenges we might experience today.

The first card is the Empress and this shows a lot of abundance in your life right now or a feeling of abundance that gives you confidence and self assurance. You feel blessed and privileged to have whatever assets you have and it gives you a sense of control over your life. This is a very good card for material success and good health. You also have a lot of creative power within you to manifest your desires. Astrologically the card represents Venus which is the planet of good luck. You are in charge today and because things seem to be moving in the right direction you don't feel the need to prove yourself to anyone or do a lot of hard work to get what you want. You seem to attract opportunities just by being yourself and feeling at ease. And opportunities, especially work related or any creative endeavours abound today. Your responses and reactions are passionate, earthy, warm and life affirming. Make good use of this energy and enjoy the abundance surounding you.

The second card is the King of Wands and this energy compliments that of the Empress on many levels. However, it represents the element of Fire and may need the grounding, earthy energy of the Empress to truly balance it. You could be passionate today with regards to professional or personal matters, especially those close to your heart and your reactions may come across as too strong for some people. If you are in a leadership position you may have to deal with a bit of resentment or rebelliousness from your team members. One on one relationships would be intense so try and keep your cool when communication involves difficult issues. You are assertive, confident and very sure that what you are doing is right for others but they may see it differently so try and give logical reasons for what you propose today instead of driving people with passion towards your goal. In case you are dealing with a boss or a leader who displays these traits try and understand the good intention and long term vision behind the drive and not take things too personally.

Both the cards represent powerful energies today and have a lot to do with creativity and leadership. It's a day of action not much intellectual processing so you should focus on moving closer to your goals and enjoy the process. Have a great day!
