“You will never know strong you are until being strong is your only choice.” I could write an entire post using quotes about strength, resilience, persistence, falling down and getting back up, but I think you get the point. This has been your life up until this point, and, in recent days, we have been talking about the urge to break out, break free, and rise above it all, entering a new life. The 9 of Wands urges you to get up each day and make the most of it, no matter how tired, no matter how difficult, and continually reminds you of all that you are, all that you can be, and all that you have overcome.

If you need some sort of anthem to get you through your day, and to help you get back out there and do it all over again, as you attempt to make…

Common sense generally dictates that you do not just wake up one day living an entirely new life.  So how do you get one?  The best way to work your path in the direction of the picture in your mind is through integration.  Gradually begin to introduce the new way of  life into the current one, thus allowing time to adjust to the changes.  There is less chance of having things backfire, if you give yourself, and those around you, that cushion for becoming accustomed to a new way of doing things.

It is important to understand that you are in a crucial phase of transition, so in order for your actions to stick and have long-lasting consequences, or benefits, it is necessary to implement new ways of doing things in a manner which is comfortable for you.  Ultimately, the goal should be to have an actual life rather than…

Mr. Reliable…our Knight of Pentacles is pretty much the most predictable, routine card in the deck. Not a bad card for a Monday, he can help you make it to work in a punctual manner, put forth a consistent work product, and never do things in a haphazard fashion. Ok, so maybe he sounds a bit boring, and not very adventurous, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

Today, with the Sun newly in Taurus, and Uranus there for the next seven years, one might think this earthy Knight was the perfect vibe for kicking off your work week. Somehow, there is always a catch, and you have probably been feeling it build over the last couple of days; go back and look at Saturday and Sunday’s cards…the 5 of Wands and the Devil, that struggle to break out and break free of old ways and constraints. Your intentions…

What do you do that holds you back from being the best version of you that you can be?  There is some form of self-sabotage going on here, and the time has come to break out of those old ways.  The Devil represents addictions, temptations, frustrations, feeling trapped, and, above all, your free will, and your ability to extricate yourself from situations that bind.

So, what do you do?  For some, it may be as obvious as diet, exercise, drugs, alcohol, internet, and the like, but for others it may be far less tangible, and much more about you being set in your ways.  Old patterns need to be broken now; it is highly likely that you are aware of them, but necessary for you to begin actually choosing to break them in your own best interest.

See you here tomorrow!
