Cards of the Week 5-05-25

I've decided to do Card of the Week again. This time pulling three cards instead of one. I meant to post this yesterday, but just got too busy. I hope to be able to post on Sunday or Monday going forward.

Cards 1: The 7 of Wands. Included Meaning: Fighting the Wind: A quixotic struggle. Winning against the odds. Confrontation. Standard Meaning: The overall meaning of the Seven of Wands is to hold your ground, no matter what is challenging your position. You will need to defend this position and take a stand against those who are aiming to take your spot. There are setbacks during this time, but you need to keep fighting for your beliefs and confront those who may threaten or oppose you and your beliefs.

Card 2: Self-hatred (Equivalent to The Devil Card). Included Meaning: The Trap to avoid for all minorities. Unconsciously accepting societal norms. Low Self-esteem. Standard Meaning: Addiction to substances or material pleasures can also be the reason for your feelings of powerlessness and entrapment. In situations such as these, you may feel as though you are a slave, unable to control your impulses or willpower to direct yourself towards something other than the satisfaction of these desires.

Card 3: Guide of Coins: Guide of Coins (Equivalent to the Queen of Coins/Pentacles.). Included Meaning: Seeing the magic in the mundane. Spiritual fulfilment from nature. Finding Joy in the ordinary.

Standard Meaning: The Queen of Pentacles, therefore, represents a motherly figure who desires to help you maneuver your way and achieve your goals with a helping of her common sense. She will not only show you love, but she will also show you the way forward whenever you seem to be stranded and confused. With her advice, she will ensure that you do not make dangerous financial decisions. She offers you precautions, principles, and support, all lessons that she has learned in her personal life. Because she is a self-made woman, she wants too for you to be independent and wise, such that you are also able to raise others and make them responsible.

My interpretation. Before I draw my cards, I set an intention, a mantra that focuses on potential warnings or lessons to look out for in the coming week. For once I feel like I might have a bit of a better understanding of this set than I have in the past.

I feel like the Wands are linking to my work life. I don't work in a competitive field, I work in healthcare, but I do work with some big personalities. I have a tendency to let those individuals push me around, even though I have seniority over all of them. I feel like the Wands are telling me that my resolve to stand my ground and make my voice heard is going to be tested more in the coming week (and likely further). I feel like the Wands are telling me that it's time to start stepping up and defending myself and my position better. I've also been the target of some rumors, false accusations, and misunderstandings. Much of these I've let fall by the wayside, as I didn't see the point in addressing them. Now, I think I was wrong to do so. I need to be more proactive in defending my reputation.

The Self-Hatred (SH going forward) I feel is a card that is directed to my personal life, and more directly, my long-term personal struggles with my weight, appearance, health, and self-confidence. I've struggled with my weight and overall health my entire adult life (and a good portion of my adolescence), and recently I've let myself backslide into bad eating and activity habits. I've done this because, at the time, it felt...Nice. Like a relief from being so controlled and focused. But I have an addictive personality. I've allowed small moments of "treats" or "rewards" to become the norm. Or indulged in those things that are bad for me because, in a way, they are a comfort or nostalgic. The SH, I feel, is telling me that I need to be doing better. That now is the time to evaluate the reasons why I do these things to self sabotage my progress. The Guide I feel like, is two-fold. Both relate to my personal life. In both my health goals and spiritual goals. I feel like, in the Standard Definition (The Queen), it's pointing me to a way to help solve my pitfalls wth my health goals. I need a more methodical and practical approach. I need to set better barriers and guards against things that will tempt me to ignore my goals for a quick moment of enjoyment that I will ultimately regret later.

I feel like the Queen is also giving me notice that I need to take a better look at my finances and financial plans.

As the Guide I feel like this is pointing to my Spiritual/Wiccan practices. I feel like this is reinforcing my recent thoughts on needing to revamp my practice. To simplify things, more organic. Try to be more present and active in my day-to-day spiritual life.

This Spread has given me a lot to think about, not just this week but going forward. I'd be interested in hearing other interpretations if anyone wanted to.

As I said before, I largely post stuff just for me, but I'm happy to interact as time permits lol.
