Today’s tarot card is the five of wands. Conflicts and disagreements arise today and it may seem like everyone and everything is working against you. You may be so frustrated and you may wish to disengage, but if you listen to the arguments from others, you’ll realize that their points are very similar to your own. Find the commonalities and try to work together to move forward.

I just found and reread a spread I did back in January for my love life for 2015 and omg it was so accurate now that I’m looking back. Like I pulled the six of cups for my likely outcome and freaked out at the time because I thought it meant going back to my ex (the six of cups is a card of nostalgia and people from your past popping back into your life), but now I know who it was REALLY talking about and it’s really uncanny. Like this person was buried so deep under my memories that I hadn’t even thought about him until he randomly reached out to me and I’m so so glad he did. I love reading my yearly outlook and then going back to it, especially when it’s so positive lol.

This tarot shadow work is no joke. The star of discovery went in on my ass and I left it on my altar and meditated on it for three days and three nights. Today, I cast the star of recovery and used The Devil card from the star of discovery as my focal point. I’m carrying around a lot of anger/resentment and it’s morphing my normal need for independence into an abnormal desire for isolation. I’ve kind of adopted an attitude of self-reliance to the point where I refuse to rely on anyone or ask for help, even when people are offering. Just like the lovers chained at the devil’s feet, my shackles are self-imposed and are holding me back from development. For the next three days and nights, I’ll be meditating on the other cards in the star of recovery and working on how to dismantle that focal point of anger.

I did the 5 point spread of self discovery from Tarot Shadow Work by Christine Jette and my deck came through with the brutal honesty, which is exactly what I needed. I’m going to leave the spread on my altar just like this and meditate on it/journal about it for the next three days before I move on.
