This card is like the Pisces of the tarot … the focus is on “I Feel”, which means you’re feeling more psychic and intuitive … and that might make you a bit confused and uneasy.  Relax into this phase of your spiritual Awakening.  Trust your gut … your Spidey senses … because all might not be as it seems.  If you’re waiting for answers from someone, they might not be as intuitive as you’re feeling, so stay calm and continue to be patient with him/her.  At work, if things are unclear, then ask questions and be an active listener.  Give your coworkers or supervisors the benefit of the doubt because, again, all might not be as it seems … and this approach might yield a view that isn’t as bad as you think.  Your relationships are in a highly emotional state at the moment, so take a break if needed just to keep a calm balance.  Same approach at home as at work, so pick your battles and avoid flying off the handle.  If you’re feeling impatient on the financial front, the best approach is a relaxed one.  Don’t act rashly, as this is probably not the best time to rely on anything other than concrete facts.  Moderation is the key today.  Spiritually, you’re feeling comfortable in exploring ways to go deeper into yourself, so pay attention to those thoughts and feelings … and the flashes of information that will seem to come out of nowhere.  And, if you’re so inclined, indulge in some of those great spiritual books … you’re likely to get more messages out of them than usual.

A young woman might cross your path who will inspire you with her warmth, cheerfulness and daring … which makes her distracting.  Enjoy feeling excited and optimistic that the seeds you planted through hard work and diligence days ago are sprouting nicely.  This is a time ripe for new approaches, new ideas and new adventures, but remain focused.  There is a light-haired woman at work who is inclined to help you.  If you’ve been job hunting and awaiting a job hiring decision, good news is likely to come from an opportunity that might turn out better than you expected.  Your relationships will feel more lively and enjoyable.  If you’re into the dating scene, there are a lot of positive prospects that you can pursue, and again, pursue only if you are available.  If you’re in a committed relationship and things haven’t been going well lately, now is the time to decide whether to move on and move forward.  Long range planning is a good focus relative to your finances.  Where do you want to be in ten, twenty or thirty years, and how will you get there?  In health matters, think about what you can do to live a more healthy lifestyle … Do you need more exercise?  What are healthier choices you can make in your diet?  Such decisions are never easy, but they become do-able if you make the effort.  Spiritually, you feel springy, childlike … your creativity and desire to entertain new avenues of thought and feeling are inspired, and this direction will deepen and enrich your Spirit.

If you’re looking for a turning point on your present journey, this is it … Now is not the time for rash decision-making.  Slow down and give the situation around you more thought, and the people around you another chance. Don’t jump to conclusions.  By the same token, if others are making choices about you, there’s nothing you can do about it, so leave it alone.  At work, you’re being watched, so take the time to make an extra effort to pay attention to details.  Just try hard and do your best and your efforts will pay off.  Get with the program now.  With relationships, it’s make-it-or-break-it time, so be very clear about what you want out of life and your relationships.  There is a positive upswing with your finances; money and contracts are headed your way.  Caution pays off, so no speeding down the freeway (literally), or it will cost you big time.  Let go of your need to be right … if someone did you wrong, then they will be held to account for their choices, not you.  Take the high road.

It’s all about focusing on what you want, rather than what you don’t want … Mind over matter.  You have the ability, and the responsibility, to harness your thoughts and use those energies for your highest good.  Set aside your fears and impulsiveness and harness that inner strength and courage.  Self-confidence comes when you make the time for self-examination; this is what keeps you Awake and Aware in the moment.  Give serious thought on directions and opportunities that allow for growth and upward mobility.  You’ve got the skill set, you’ve got the talent and you’ve got ideal circumstances surrounding you to make better things happen in your life right now.  This is a positive sign that momentum is building, so be patient as you paddle out to catch that next wave.  To be truly strong, pay attention and develop each side of your triangle:  body, mind and spirit.  You are strong … stronger than you think!

The Queen of Wands is like the Empress card in that it is a feminine sign of material fertility, ambition and success.  This Queen can literally be a light-haired woman crossing your path that brings good fiery energy to you and is your ally … fiery, as in Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.  Metaphorically, this card is a message of great accomplishments achieved in a short span of time at work or in your career/occupation.  If you are a young couple trying to conceive, the Queen of Wands is one of the most positive indications that you will succeed … so if you’re not prepared for that possibility, take precautions!  If you’re looking for love, then perhaps a light-haired woman will introduce you to that special someone today.  Even though this card indicates a large degree of material success, don’t be tempted to squander away your resources.  Moderate your spending so you don’t make an extravagant purchase you’ll regret later.  If you’re looking to add to your home surroundings, you’ll do best indulging your creativity with what you already have … like rearranging furniture.  Bottom line:  take your time to read the signs around you and reflect.  Talk to others to gather ideas on new directions before leaping to make huge life changes to maintain the balance.

Wands usually indicates changes related to your work, and sometimes it also applies to your relationships. You are competing with others right now, so believe in yourself and continue to do your best … now, more than ever … and place faith and trust in knowing that you will end up in the right place for you. Success only manifests if you try. Don’t look-to those who cheat to get an inside advantage … such opportunists rarely stay ahead in the long run. Remain honest and true to yourself, and you shall prevail. Remember a few weeks back we considered several ways of engaging obstacles in our path? Today is a day to consider ways of getting around those rocks in your river. Take the time to rest. Center your focus on what will be your next steps and allow that inner voice to be your guide. You don’t want to take the approach of a chicken without a head!
