This spiritual message of this month is based on the Tarot card 10 of Wands Reversed. Take a moment to be open to any positive shifts that may occur as you read this sacred writing and remember to breathe.
My first thought seeing the card for the month of August was a lot of overwhelm– so much to do, so many things to attend to, parties and friends to connect with. The sun is out now but fall is coming in the northern hemisphere, and changes are happening all around the world all the time. There is a sense of pressure, and movement that is jostling a large amount of energy inside of you.
These thoughts need to be released. There may be emotions underneath the surface which desperately want your attention. Find time to sort out your inner world. The “Reversed” position especially of pulling this card suggests that we need to look on the inside and release the built up energy in some way. Being the ten card represents the maximum amount of fire, there is clearly the most or way too much fiery activity going on this month.
The Fire element of the Wands tells us that there is a definitely creative potential this month, in fact I’d say that what we do now can be especially powerful. It’s a great time to plan for the fall and winter months ahead and start to think about where you will be next year. (I’ll be in Japan! Where will you be?) What will be different or the same? What will your pursue? What will you pursue seems to be an overwhelming question, however, as there are many different paths you can take in pursuing your energy AND you probably have to unload a fair bit of responsibility that you have shouldered as well, should you desire more freedom.
This card can feel very oppressive generally, even in its upright position, the 10 of Wands reminds me of an overly beleaguered woman attending to the demands of an entire office of people demanding coffee and chores she cannot complete because she keeps being interrupted. So imagine the reversed position to have a similar energy, indicating a tangle of knots occurring on the inside of a person. There is a cosmic element to this card and an interrelation with other people’s energies–the world around you is affecting the way you feel and awareness of that is key to making it work for you.
All you need is space to be alone and magic will happen. Do what you need to do to maintain healthy space, and look within–don’t just distract yourself with business and partying! Entertainment, TV, drinking, substances, or coffee can also put you on overdrive and exacerbate any imbalance this month so maintain a sense of some moderation. Pull back and observe how everything is going and remember to ask yourself what YOU need.
The 10 of Wands can indicate a feeling of stress from other people’s perceptions or how you perceive what you need to do to maintain connection with them. It’s possible some of this can be created in your own mind, or perhaps you really do need to set good boundaries and request a change through verbal communication.
Be Yourself and Let Go of Everything That is Not Yours to Carry! You’ll be glad you chose this because otherwise you’ll be dropping things from sheer inability to bear the weight of your load anymore and you probably will be down for a longer period than you would be otherwise, therefore wasting time in the end.
Let me know if you’d like to always know what to for next for the highest good of all life and build your Creative Power so you can make faster progress on your goals or projects. I can help. Blessings
