This week's reading was done on The Black Tarot by Victoria Iva. It's a cool day here in Vermont, and Autumn is coming. With the days being darker, I wanted the Tarot cards to reflect the same. In images that are grey and black, this Tarot deck foreshadows the season to come. This reading is for someone who has to take control of their life, and walk away from something that is holding them back. I asked the cards for a reading for someone who will see this post. Read on and see if it's for you!
The reading begins with The Emperor. This is a card of being responsible and accountable for what is happening in your life. This is a card that comes up often when someone is letting another person or entity control their life and direction. With The Emperor, you are being reminded that you are in a position of strength and power. If you focus your attention on what you want to accomplish, you are certain to be successful. Though this reading illustrates that there is something that has been standing in your way.
The Five of Swords appears next. You are connected to a person or a situation that is not taking you and your needs into consideration. With the Five of Swords, there is something that you have to separate yourself from. It drains all of your energy without providing anything in return. You have been losing your patience for a long time, but have not yet removed yourself from the situation.
The Eight of Swords appears next, showing you that you are your own worst enemy. While you have absolutely been dealing with a challenging situation, you have stayed in a 'trapped' situation when you are actually free to go. You have convinced yourself that there are too many barriers to leaving the situation that is hurting you so much. This has effectively held you in a trap of your own making. You can walk away from this even if you have convinced yourself that you can't.
The key is the Six of Wands, showing you in a place of victory and success. It is important for you to know the future if you walk away from the situation that is causing you harm. You will be successful. People in your life are going to cheer for you. You will feel proud of yourself- strong and free. You will be so happy that you made the choice to leave.
Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you are in a situation where you have to regain control of your life. There has been something or someone causing you a lot of harm- and it has gone on for too long. You know that you have to leave, but you keep coming up with reasons that you can't. You are building a trap for yourself that will only keep you from walking away when that is what you should do. If you leave, you will find that things are going to go better than you think. All of the reasons that you had to stay turn out to not matter as much as you thought. You end up back in control of your life, path and future- and you feel really proud of yourself. If you have been looking for a sign that you will be ok if you leave- this is your sign. Get up and walk away.
