Day 29 : Tarot for the Week Ahead
THE ENERGY OF THIS WEEK:
King of Swords
This week calls for discernment, clarity, and truth-telling, not as rigidity, but as liberation. The King of Swords is clear-eyed and grounded in integrity. They invite you to:
Name what is true (especially for you)
Speak with authority born from lived experience
Cut through confusion with compassion and precision
This energy isn’t cold, it’s clean. It’s about anchoring into your inner authority and letting that clarity shape how you move, choose, and communicate.
MOVING TOWARD THIS WEEK:
The Hanged One
Even as clarity sharpens, you’re being asked to surrender your grip on control.
The Hanged One asks for perspective, a softening into the unknown, into the upside-down. You may find that after a moment of insight or clarity (King of Swords), the next step is not action, but a kind of sacred pause.
The invitation is to:
See things differently
Soften around your opinions
Let truth land before you respond
This card says: clarity doesn’t always demand movement. Sometimes, it asks for stillness.
RELEASING & LETTING GO THIS WEEK:
Eight of Swords (Reversed)
You are shedding the fear-based narratives that once kept you safe, but now keep you small.
The reversal says: the cage is no longer locked. You're beginning to see clearly where the stuckness has been self-created, internalized, or inherited.
This release may look like:
Calling out an old pattern or story as false
Trusting your ability to choose again
Loosening your grip on the thoughts that once defined you
This release is foundational to the clarity and surrender that this week is asking of you.
A GUIDE FOR THIS WEEK:
Gnosis — Innermost Knowing, Mystic Truths
True knowledge is not found in facts and figures…Rather, Gnosis points to the deep and timeless archetypal wisdom that rises from the felt experience of having touched the unknown with every one of the senses. The eternal mystery is calling you…study your passion in the deepest way available to you.
Your guide this week is the felt knowing that arises when you are fully in your body, listening to your heart, connected with your breath.
