I ris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 9/1/25:

I have a lot of Tarot card decks. More than you think I have. I bring a big selection to events to let people choose; and that's not even a small percentage of my decks. I am a collector. They all have different personalities and ways of communicating. I have my favorites for sure, and I use them for different reasons. Today's reading was done on my first Tarot deck- The Universal Waite, illustrated by Pamela Coleman Smith. Because sometimes- you just need to talk to an old friend. I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who sees this post. Read on and see if it's for you. 

The reading begins with the VII of Cups. If this is your reading, you may feel disoriented- like you don't know what is going to happen. There are a lot of possibilities and ways that things could go, but you are having a tough time focusing your mind and staying clear. Everything seems possible all at once, and you are just staring off and waiting to see what happens next. 

The Queen of Wands appears next. Here's what you have working for you. You are fiery and passionate; energized and clear. You have a lot of willpower, and when you want to make something to happen, you don't leave much room for there to be any other way. You don't back down from a challenge and you have the power and magic to manifest anything you want. Use your creativity and out of the box thinking. Once you can discern a path- you have what is needed to walk down it. 

Judgment comes next, telling you to trust your wisdom and experience to get you through this time of confusion. There are some things that may be becoming clear; and what seemed lost may come back to life. This is a Major mystery card of the Tarot deck. Stay calm and trust your intuition and judgment to move forward with clarity. 

The key to this reading is The World. This is a card of success- the completion of a cycle and beginning of a new one. This tells you to have some faith in the wisdom that you have right now. You are tracking towards success and balance. This is a card of victory, wellness and the result of patience and persistence. Keep going. 

Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you are not yourself right now. It is really hard to see clearly and you feel like you don't know what is going to happen next or where to go. There are so many possibilities, that you feel lost and are struggling to stay grounded. But the fact is- you have more power than you give yourself credit for. You have an extra boost of energy and fire that will keep you moving through this time where you feel like you don't know what to do. And then suddenly- the problem you have will be solved. All will become clear and you will know what to do. Stay strong and powerful. Don't worry so much about feeling unclear and lost- that is going to let up soon and you will reach your goals with success. Stay positive and use your judgment and past wisdom. Trust in yourself and what you have learned- and move forward with clarity. In all of the things that you are pondering and considering- have you considered that you may very well be successful? It's worth thinking about.
