Nine of Wands and Five of Pentacles

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using two cards from the Rider Waite tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - Nine of Wands: This card is about perseverance and staying on in the face of insecurities and fears. It's also about expecting something negative to happen. The card image shows a man holding on to a rod or baton, his forehead bandaged, implying that he's been through a rough situation in the past. Hence the basis for these fears lies in past incidents. While it is prudent to remain cautious and learn from past experiences, too much of this attitude could take away from a true life experience. Try not to be overly judgemental of people this week and let not your inner feelings cloud your reason.

Make sure you are well prepared, especially in a work situation, but avoid obsessing about the details as that may undermine your confidence. If you find yourself getting exhausted or overwhelmed by responsibilities and chores, take a short break to recharge yourself but do not give up; you may be closer to your goal than you realize at this point so just hang on and get on with it.

Card 2 - Five of Pentacles: This card signifies some challenges and feelings of inadequacy that may get your spirits down this week. However, more than a real lack it may point to feelings of lack that arise out of comparison with people who seem luckier and more well off than you in material aspects. Try to resist comparing your worth with others. You may be caught up in appearances this week instead of focusing on the big picture of your life, hence this consciousness of lack. Focusing on what you do have and being appreciative of it will go a long way in easing your worries and guiding you towards the path of improvement. An overly critical attitude will only make matters worse.

This week you need to guard against negative thoughts and feelings about yourself, your situation or the people in your life. Such feelings and thoughts may arise spontaneously and while you cannot always prevent things from happening a certain way you can certainly control your reaction to them. Respond positively and understand that things will not stay the same always. What goes down has to come up. Stay serene and have a wonderful week!
