Card By Card Breakdown:

The Past: 

8 of Pentacles, Reversed

You’ve been particularly harsh on yourself, and seeking perfectionism has done nothing but burn you out to the point that all you feel you can produce is mediocrity. You’re not feeling skill flowing through your fingers or hitting your point of flow. Instead you find yourself creating only sporadically and wanting to give up.  Step back and try to remember when you started all of this that you wanted to enjoy the process.

The Present: 

Queen of Swords

You’ve tried to self-correct after the burnout you were dealing with. Instead of driving yourself beyond reason, you’ve taken a more protective approach to your time. You understand the value of both  your time and mental energy and are doing what you can to preserve them so that you can maintain the balance you need in your life. You’ve taken care to ensure that your days include time to create yourself some support systems.

The Challenge: 

6 of Pentacles

There is an imbalance in the flow of material – be it money, physical energy, or power. You could be giving up too much – or you could be demanding too much from someone else. It also might indicate that you’re incapable of asking for or accepting help. Generosity and gratitude are important things for our experience of this world, and are intrinsic to how we operate within it. Getting this part balanced will be key. 

Your Thoughts: 

Page of Swords

You have been having extremely expansive thoughts lately. Your curious mind has led you to explore a world of possibilities for yourself, and you are feeling just courageous enough to throw yourself after them.  Your curiosity is at a high as you seek more and more information to support your innovative ideas. You know that you could make them work, and you have the ambition and initiative to make that happen. 

Your Subconscious:

Page of Pentacles, Reversed

You don’t feel fully connected to your plans. While you put on a determined face, your non-committal feelings about some key aspects of your experience has led you to believe that your connection is just superficial. Your doubts have led to you having difficulties in making some of your ideas a reality, and in some cases an inability to even commit to a plan to try. 

The Future:

8 of Swords, Reversed

It’s going to be a struggle, because if you’re not able to correct the imbalance in giving and receiving, or get over what that imbalance feels like to you, the resentment will lead to you having a very hard time trusting people and opening up. This will lead to paranoia. You’ll start shutting down and collapsing inward, trapped by the old stories you’ve been holding onto about yourself. Not only is it important that you let go of a bunch of negative narratives, it’s also important for you to start creating new, empowered narratives about yourself and your experience. 

Advice:

King of Swords, Reversed

To navigate this situation you’ll need to be sure to follow your personal truth and passions. Use your self-awareness and situational awareness to analytically evaluate your best paths forward. Reject bitterness.  Don’t allow your options to be narrowed by your own mind. Be observant – especially of your own thoughts. Hold your judgment until you can be objective and logical.

Putting it All Together: 

This reading is dominated by Swords and Pentacles. Based on that alone I’d say that you have a lot on your mind – and what is on your mind may have something to do with your career or health matters (or deal with other realms of the physical world).  As you work through the next month, make sure you don’t entirely neglect your emotional and spiritual experiences. Check in with yourself, because you’re going to have a lot to work through.

There are two pages in this reading – look for messages, invitations, and opportunities. Since so much of this reading is involved in the mind / physical body, you may feel physical manifestation of mental states (more acute stomach cramping when facing difficult decisions, etc.).

In the not too distant past you just experienced a time when your own perfectionism worked against you (8 of Pentacles Reversed). Instead of being in balance with how you sought to hone your skill, you went overboard: inner critique became inner critic faster than you were aware of, and it caused you to be separated from your inner drive. You burned the love right out of yourself and burned out. You’ve presently self-corrected, and decided to take a moment and re-engage with what made you love the work (Queen of Swords). You’ve started dedicating some energy to maintaining your own support systems. You’ve taken control of your time by re-evaluating how you’ve been using it and what you’ve been dedicating it to. 

You’re still feeling as if the situation was imbalanced – and that you either gave (or took) too much (Six of Pentacles, Reversed). This feeling has permeated your thoughts since then, and trying to achieve an appropriate balance has proved challenging.  No one can give all the time –  and failing to correct this imbalance could create a situation full of resentment and paranoia (Eight of Swords). 

You have been mentally engaged in figuring out solutions (Page of Swords), and have also been dealing with a gut feeling that you haven’t been as connected to your work as you should have been (Page of Pentacles, Reversed).  In order to find your way through this situation, it’s important that you center your truths and your passions, and that you don’t lose sight of them (King of Swords, Reversed). Your awareness of yourself, in addition to your understanding of the imbalance you’re correcting will be instrumental to you feeling empowered by your ability to address things before they become constraining.
