Welcome to another Monday post that I hope will leave you inspired and ready to face the week. I can SO relate to this quote from Einstein.

This is a great meditation that left me feeling grounded and centered.
The tarot cards are a little more positive than what we got last week. I was glad to see them.

The Eight of Wands is in the “what you need to know” position. There is an element of spontaneity in this card that gets you excited for an event that’s on the verge of happening. It could involve travel or a new person coming into your life. Events move quickly, and everything falls into place without you needing to push for a particular outcome. Life is moving you very quickly toward your personal goals, so go with the flow, and you’ll have the energy you need to take on whatever life has to offer. Relax and ride the wave of excitement. (I don’t know about you, but for me, this is a welcome card!)
The first thing I think of when I see the Two of Pentacles is a balancing act. It sits in the “new perspective” position and I think that’s significant. Balancing your obligations and your schedule can be tricky. This card is inviting you to find a flow and not allow your emotions to knock you off balance. Anytime you strive to take your life to the next level, your routine and comfort zone will momentarily be disrupted. This is a normal part of expansion and growth. Take a moderate approach. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Only take on what you can handle and reach out for help when you feel overwhelmed.
To find The Hermit card sitting in the “action to take” position is an oxymoron. 🙂 This card encourages stillness and going within. It also encourages alone time. Listen to your inner wisdom by spending time in solitude. It is a necessary and healthy practice that will rejuvenate you. When it’s time to be with others again, you will your energy restored.
MY TAKEAWAY:
Something exciting is on the verge of happening. I can feel it. For me, it could be the upcoming first music festival of the year. I’ve been struggling a bit this past week, so love the prospect of excitement. I also love that it indicates plenty of energy to take on whatever is coming. Then in the process of everyday life, a juggling act seems to be a continuous necessity. I like the advice to only do what you can handle. I tend to take on more than I can possibly do. Then, the idea of spending some alone time seems warranted with the action cards preceding it. It’s always healthy to have a bit of downtime now and again.
As always, I really love the Angel Oracle card this week.
That’s it. I hope you have a good week ahead and find ways to take back your power!
I love the bicycle quote. It’s so true.

I also like the advice to only take on what you can handle. That balancing act is never ending over here, and I don’t seem to be paying attention to that lesson. 🙂 And I could use the energy boost! As an introvert, alone time is how I find it. Now to find some. Lol. Great reading, Jan.

Today, I really took the Hermit advice to heart and have spent the day in downtime and doing self-care. I rarely ever do that. Life is a balancing act at best and we need lots of energy to keep all the balls in the air. Thank you for visiting!

Thanks for the reading, Jan. Terrific quote too. As a child, when I learned to ride a bike, I stopped by running into a very large pine tree. I guess that applies to life too. LOL. Hugs.

Wow, that fit my last week perfectly. A few days before we had a gig with our band, the second singer called in sick and I had to arrange the songs differently, to learn the complete lyrics and different voices within no time.
I set priorities and focused on the songs. I was then the Hermite who was completely dedicated and concentrated while practicing and at the gig itself. It all went well.

Great angel card. Too often we try to rely on prayer and forget God helps those WHO HELP THEMSELVES. There’s got to be an element of trying on our part.
Glad your card pull is more optimistic than last week. And I know you have to be excited about the music festivals. Just don’t over-work yourself.
Have a great week, Jan.
