I thought I'd share a personal reading since I've not posted here in a long while. This is the reading for this week Oct. 6-12. And this is how I translated it and also almost with every reading, I'm always having in the back of my head my writing and screenwriting/playwrighting aspirations. Here it goes:
The 8 of Cups signals a turning point — a week of walking away from what no longer nourishes my emotional or spiritual growth. I might feel the urge to step back, detach, or redirect my focus toward something more meaningful. This isn’t about running away — it’s about recognizing that my energy deserves to be invested in places that truly fulfill me. There’s a quiet courage in choosing authenticity over comfort. This card says I'm in a phase of emotional recalibration — stepping back from ideas, habits, or even industry expectations that no longer feel aligned. Creatively, it’s the “I can’t fake it anymore” moment. I may feel less inspired by external goals (competitions, validation, deadlines) and more pulled toward my inner compass.
Spiritually and artistically, that’s powerful. It’s not a block — it’s a creative molt, shedding what’s inauthentic so my next work comes from a truer place.
The King of Swords encourages me to lead with logic and clarity, not emotion. Where the 8 of Cups asks me to move on emotionally, the King of Swords tells me how — with strategy, truth, and discernment. I may be called to make a decision this week that requires staying objective and honest with myself (and possibly others) - and to use my intellect as my compass. For my writing: This is my editor brain stepping in. After emotional release comes precision. The King of Swords reminds me to organize my thoughts and define my next creative move logically — not reactively.
Whether that’s refining my query approach, re-outlining a project, or simply setting a schedule, the King of Swords calls for clear structure. Speak and write from truth, but edit with steel.
By week’s end, I step into confidence and magnetism. Once I let go (8 of Cups) and make decisions with clarity (King of Swords), I reclaim my power. The Queen of Wands represents creativity, passion, and self-assuredness — she’s the part of me that knows my worth and acts on it. I can expect a boost in energy, inspiration, or visibility — perhaps even recognition for being authentic and bold. By the week’s end, I'm back in my creative power — expressive, visible, and inspired. This energy suggests momentum returning, especially if I've recently felt invisible or directionless.
The Queen of Wands thrives when she owns her voice unapologetically. I may even get a small sign of external validation — someone responding to my work, or simply that deep sense of I’m back.
Spirit’s guidance highlights the need to gather myself back together. This card suggests my energy may be scattered — too many worries, too many directions, or emotional leaks. The 8 of Cups confirms this fragmentation by urging me to leave behind what drains me. Spirit is asking me to reclaim my focus, ground myself, and realign my energy toward what truly matters.
Message from Spirit: “I can’t move forward powerfully until I call your energy home.”
