Weekly tarot forecast - Jan 4 to Jan 10

Card images from Crystal Visions tarot:
Death, The Empress, Eight of Swords 

Here's your tarot forecast for the upcoming week. I am using the Crystal Visions tarot deck for this reading.

Card 1 - Death: This card represents the key energy or atmosphere this week. The Death card is all about ending what must end. However, this ending is more about a transforming experience than about a feeling of loss.

Something in your life may need a shift of perspective or energy. Something that is no longer serving its purpose. By allowing it to wane out of your life as a natural process and accepting the inevitability of this change you would be able to move forward with a positive vision, faith and confidence.

As this is the key influence in your life this week remember that the process of change and transformation has already been set in motion and by resisting it you would only be bringing feelings of unease and aimlessness to the fore.

Card 2 - The Empress: This card represents your attitude to the energy represented by card 1. The Empress is all about confidence, passion and an attitude of abundance. When you feel like the Empress you tap into your nurturing energy and creative power. Everything seems possible because of the infinite potential it carries. Be self assured like the Empress and let life unfold as you go along. Both the cards signify a major shift in energy this week and something that will take a while to have tangible effects in your life.

Note that the card shows the image of a pregnant woman, signifying new life in a nascent, devloping state. It is the time to be patient, confident and remain poised in the knowledge that you carry within yourself the seed for your future life. Positive feelings and affirmations will help manifest your desire into reality.

Card3 - Eight of Swords: This card represents how things will progress. The Eight of Swords is a classic card of being trapped by your own negative, fear based thinking. The two earlier cards suggest ending of something followed by development of something new. But it may take time to manifest. If you allow yourself to lose faith in your own abilities and give up your ideals and goals at this juncture, you will block your own progress.

The situation shown by the Eight of Swords may seem bleak, however, it is only limited by your vision and perspective. The moment you decide to act with conviction and brave all odds by conquering your inner fears, they will cease to block your way.

As the week progresses you may find your confidence and conviction affected by some negativity or minor difficulties arising from within you or your surroundings. Try not to let them overpower you and cause a sense of hopelessness. Accept the challenges on your way with fortitude and move on.
Have a wonderful week!
