Okay, so today I was messing around with my tarot deck, just kind of feeling out the energy for the week. And guess what two cards popped up? The Ace of Wands and the Ace of Swords. Talk about a power combo! I grabbed my journal and pen, because I knew this was gonna be interesting.
Getting Started
First, I just laid the cards out on my table. I like to have a clear space to work, you know? Makes it easier to focus. I lit a little candle, nothing fancy, just to set a chill vibe. I usually put on some quiet background music, too – something instrumental, so it doesn’t distract me.
Deep Dive into the Cards
- Ace of Wands: This card is all about new beginnings, right? That fiery passion, that spark of an idea. I spent some time just looking at the image, letting my mind wander. What new projects have I been thinking about? What am I excited to start?
- Ace of Swords: This one’s about mental clarity, cutting through the BS, and speaking your truth. I jotted down some thoughts about where I might need more clarity in my life. What decisions have I been putting off? Where am I not being totally honest with myself?
Connecting the Dots
This is where it got really cool. I started to see how these two cards might be connected. The Ace of Wands is the initial spark, and the Ace of Swords is the clarity you need to actually make it happen. I thought about how often I get excited about new ideas, but then get bogged down in the details, or talk myself out of them.
I write down my thoughts and think.
So, I am asking myself, “How can I use the energy of these cards to actually move forward?”
Action Steps
I decided to make a little plan, just some simple steps to keep me on track. I use note to write them down.
- For the Ace of Wands, I picked one small project I’ve been wanting to start, and I committed to spending just 15 minutes on it every day this week.
- For the Ace of Swords, I identified one area where I need to have a tough conversation, and I scheduled time to do it. No more putting it off!
It’s nothing earth-shattering, but I felt like I had a real breakthrough. It’s amazing how just taking a little time to connect with the cards can give you so much clarity. I closed my journal, feeling pretty good about the week ahead. I blew out the candle, turn off the music, and head to finish my day.
