Good morning. It’s another Monday and the beginning of a brand new week. The thought expressed in this image struck me as profound and I hope you enjoy it as well.
For our Monday Meditation, I’ve chosen something a little different. This meditation is a few minutes longer than what I’ve been posting, but still under 15 minutes. It is filled with affirmations guaranteed to uplift you!
And now for our Tarot Reading to set the tone for the week ahead.
The Six of Swords is indicative of some sort of a transition. But the thing to note here is that the woman and child in the boat are receiving assistance with the passage. It can indicate leaving behind what is familiar and moving toward the unknown. But again, not alone. The Chariot is often looked at as the card of travel, but it is multi-dimensional in that it shows great willpower, determination and strength. It can be taken as a sign of encouragement, and in this reading following the Six of Swords, shows strength to leave behind the familiar and move toward the unknown with confidence and strength. But, without any doubt, it is an action card. It is not a time to be passive, but to move forward with purpose. The Knight of Cups is a beautiful outcome card indicating love and compassion pouring through you. It can also indicate the opening of creative expression, as well as possible new relationships coming into your life. So, in conclusion, the cards are telling us to leave behind the familiar with strength and confidence and look forward to new relationships or creativity. I don’t know about you, but I love this and am excited to see what’s ahead over the next few days!
Make it a great week and thank you for joining in!

We all need the positive messages form these cards today. I’m 85% okay of not expecting from others, and perhaps 75% not comparing to others. Haha, it depends on many things! Thanks, Jan.

I see the same clear transition power in the 6 of Swords and the Chariot. Just asking, isn’t that the King of Cups? Because you described the Ace of Cups.

Oh my goodness, Erika. A slip of the finger. It is the Knight of Cups. I will fix it and thank you for bringing to my attention! Hugs!

I did not mean to be nosy, but I thought you should know. It is still a very good outcome, when even the Ace of Cups would have been a dream outcome… lol.
