Wands, SwordS and Cups, Oh My! Weekly drawing July 29, 2015

What a crazy week this has been! We had horrible storms and lighting blew the transformer right outside our house. Technicians can't come fix our phone and internet until Monday, so I am relegated to stealing neighbors internet and sneaking in posts from work. THis post right now is on my cell phone, which let me tell you is some kind of fun - NOT.  Anyways, choose the card that you are drawn to and then click READ MORE for the reveal!
1. Eight of Wands
A lot of things may be up in the air for you when the 8 of Wands appears. You may be frustrated, tired of waiting. This card is an indicator to be patient a while longer. You may have already done all you can do, and decisions now must be made by other people.

General:
When this card appears, nothing seems to be moving ahead. Don't try to force things, as that is likely to backfire on you. Speaking metaphorically, sometimes our actions are all in the wrist, all you can do is put your best out there and see where it lands. You've put your best out there. Now wait.

Work: You are probably waiting on decisions that have to be made by others. Chances are good that the outcome will be positive, but don't try to push people before they are ready. Be patient. The logjam will break soon, but it isn't up to you to break it.

Love: In the context of love, when the 8 appears, you probably are feeling ready for a commitment that doesn't seem to be forthcoming. Again, you must not push someone before they are ready. You can't get your needs met by force. Distract yourself if necessary, and your beloved may be back to you before you know it, offering the love you'd been hoping for, on a silver platter


2. Ace of Swords
As with all Aces, The Ace of Swords can indicate a new beginning of some sort in your life, possibly on several fronts. Sometimes this new beginning can be started by a separation of some kind - from a relationship, or from a job situation. Know that as anxiety-producing as such a new beginning can sometimes be, that underneath it all is good, beneficial energy that is getting you where you want to go.

General:
In general the Ace of Swords calls on us to not be afraid to make a leap if it's in our best interests. In short, bravery is called for. As the old adage says, "feel the fear and do it anyway." You have a good idea already of what must be done. The hard part is the doing of it. Start today.

Work: In the context of work, the Ace can mean that you soon will try a different tactic or may even choose to leave the job that you're currently in. If you're committed to staying where you are, you may have some good ideas for new policies or procedures that could make everyone's life easier at work and improve the bottom line/final product. Don't hesitate to give voice to those. Another old adage: "It's amazing what can be done if you don't care who gets the credit." You will ultimately get the credit for anything good that you bring to the table. The credit doesn't have to be instantaneous.

Love: In terms of love, the Ace can mean that you are ready to start something new, and if you're currently in a committed relationship, it can indicate that there's something about this relationship that you will choose to put a stop to. Don't hesitate to speak your mind. If something in the relationship is hurtful or bad for you, and you lose your partner because you say so - you haven't really lost, you are being guided toward a relationship that is better for you. Tell the truth.

3.  6 of Wands
The 6 of Wands is a very positive omen. It can indicate that despite the challenges you are facing, you will overcome them and come out on top. This card also points toward literal or metaphorical movement; things are changing, in a positive way.

General:
In general, the 6 is about happiness and celebration. You are about to see some results for your hard work and efforts. Give yourself a break or treat yourself in some way. You have certainly earned it.

Work: If you're looking for a position, this card is a very positive portent. You will find something that is better than you dared hope. If you're currently in a position that you want to stay in - things are about to get even better at work for you than you would have hoped. Your efforts are valued. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Love: In a committed relationship, this card means that things are looking up. Suddenly, you are likely to find yourself feeling closer and happier with your partner than ever before. If you're unattached, take heart - the appearance of this card can mean you're about to enter a relationship with someone you've been dreaming about. This is a very positive omen.


4.  8 of Cups
The 8 of Cups often means that you will choose to leave a situation that is no longer working for you - whether that's a relationship, a job, or a neighborhood. There may be some sadness involved, but in general, this separation, is in your best interests.

General: Know that renewed good times lie ahead for you. If your "gut" is telling you that you really need to get out of a relationship, job, or living arrangement, trust yourself. Instead of this coming out of the blue, or someone or something leaving you, it usually means that you are the one who will make this choice. Very often one door has to close behind you before the next door in front of you can fully open.

Work: Your current job may no longer be appropriate for you. You may be feeling bored, or under-appreciated. Think long and hard about which is best; trying to fix things where you are, or moving on. Either option can work for you. One thing is for sure, though, things are not going to change for the better on their own. If you're dissatisfied, get specific on what changes would need to happen for you to be happier where you are. If it's unlikely or impossible to change those things, then get moving on finding yourself a new position. You can do it.

Love: You may decide that a long-term relationship is going to end. If you are sure about this, don't wait for the right time, as there will never be a good time to tell someone that the relationship needs to be over. Don't jump headlong into a new relationship; give yourself some time and space to be on your own, first.
