Week Ahead Tarot Reading from 4/1 to 4/8 2024
I wish I could tell you that this was going to be an easy week.
It has been a rough time with the eclipse energies, and then Mercury is about to go into retrograde on top of that.
I have not been as engaging because it has taken a toll on my mental health, but I also know that I have to keep pushing forward because what other choice do I have?
Unfortunately, these energies will continue strongly as eclipse season is here and Mercury is retrograde tomorrow. And I wish that were some silly April Fool's joke, but it is not.
So here is the reading for the week ahead of April 1st to the 8th (solar eclipse day).
1. Your week as a whole - Queen of Wands
2. Something unexpected that will arise - Queen of Cups
3. How to stay grounded and balanced - Justice
4. Important emotion that you will feel this week - Three of Swords
5. Something that will inspire you - The Devil
6. How your spirit guides speak to you this week - Wheel of Fortune
7. How to best support yourself this week - Eight of Cups
Card One - Queen of Wands
Despite the challenging energies, the Queen of Wands shows that you can emerge with confidence, creativity, and passion.
As I said, these energies are outside your control, but you may reach a point where you can give them a big FU and move along.
With the annoyances that will come up, it is essential to step into your power because you may also be called to do things this week that won't let you stay in bed all week, even if you have the urge to do so.
Card Two - Queen of Cups
The Queen of Cups suggests an unexpected emotional situation will arise this week.
You will experience a surge of intense emotions, and you will need to use your intuition to tap into them and figure out how to navigate them.
However, it does not have to be all bad. You may develop a connection with someone or deepen an existing one as well.
Either way, the big feelings will come out, and you must find a way to navigate those.
Card Three - Justice
Justice reminds you to seek fairness and balance in all aspects of your life. This week, making decisions based on logic and reason rather than emotions is essential.
That will also be challenging, as the card above may challenge you. Stay objective and consider all perspectives before taking action. Maintaining a sense of fairness will help you stay grounded and balanced.
Besides, making significant decisions is not the best idea during Mercury retrograde, but brainstorming is good for taking better action at the right time.
Card Four - Three of Swords
Ouch. I did not like seeing this. The Three of Swords suggests that you may experience heartache or emotional pain this week, and there are also enough challenging feelings you will experience.
It could be related to a recent loss or even a minor disappointment that could cause you to take it hard because of everything else that is going on.
Whatever you do, process the feelings, and don't let anyone's toxic positive platitudes get to you.
Card Five - Devil
It's interesting that the Devil comes up in the same place this week as last.
The Devil card represents the temptations and desires that can inspire you this week.
However, with more intense energies, this may be a time to explore your shadow side, confront your fears, and break free from self-imposed limitations.
Embrace your desires and use them as motivation to create something better. It may be a good week to write something about your dark side; whether you publish it for the world or in your personal journal is up to you.
Card Six - Wheel of Fortune
The Wheel of Fortune indicates that your spirit guides will communicate with you through synchronicities and life cycles.
Pay attention to the signs and coincidences that occur this week, as they hold messages and guidance from your guides. It is always important to pay attention to messages, but this is a more critical week.
Be sure to make a note of what those signs are. Your guides will be communicating a lot with you, and you may even remember your dreams more, so get that dream journal and keep it with you by your bedside.
Card Seven - Eight of Cups
The Eight of Cups suggests that the best way to help yourself is by letting go of what no longer serves you.
It may be time to leave behind old patterns, relationships, or situations holding you back. Trust your intuition and have the courage to walk away from anything no longer aligned with your overall well-being.
As I said, this is a good week to say FU to anything disruptive, which also applies to anything challenging your happiness. For example, if you dislike your job, all the toxicity will get to you this week.
This may be your cue to start job seeking, and yes, you can do that during the retrograde, but think it through. That is all. Setting solid boundaries is also your cue, even if you cannot walk away from anything.
Any people-pleasing is what you will want to leave behind.
As you see, there will be many topsy-turvy energies, but the challenge is not to let them take you down.
You will be saying FU a lot this week. Based on what is going on, that's much I can say. I am always around if you would like a reading.
Thank you! A crystal showed up on the floor this morning and I grabbed it and will hold onto it today.
