Weekly Tarot Reading: May 19th - 25th

✨ Using our Weekly Tarot Spread

This week’s reading feels like a breaking point and a turning point. Some things are ending whether we’re ready or not—and others are beginning beneath the surface, even if we can’t see them clearly yet. There’s tension here, yes, but also potential. Let’s walk through it together:

Overall Energy — Seven of Coins
The Seven of Coins is that moment where you stop, take a breath, and look around. Is all this work paying off? Are you heading where you meant to go? It’s a card of quiet progress—but also of honest reflection. You’ve planted something. Now it’s time to ask if you’re still aligned with what’s growing.

Internal — Death
Change is already happening inside you. Whether you asked for it or not, something’s shifting. Death isn’t about destruction—it’s about release. You’re making space, consciously or not, for a new version of yourself to take root. Let it. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Especially if it’s uncomfortable.

External — Ten of Swords
Something outside of you is ending—and not gently. This card is the final straw, the breaking point, the “I can’t keep doing this” moment. But it’s also liberation. The situation may hurt, but it’s no longer sustainable. Let it die with dignity. You don’t need to carry it forward.

Challenge — Five of Wands
Everything feels loud this week. Conflict might pop up in conversations, group dynamics, or even inside your own head. The challenge isn’t to win the fight—it’s to decide whether the fight is even worth your energy. Be picky about what you engage with. Chaos loves attention. Don’t feed it.

Ally — Five of Swords
Sometimes your ally is the part of you that refuses to keep the peace just to stay likable. The Five of Swords reminds you: not all bridges are worth preserving. Walk away when you need to. Speak the truth even if your voice shakes. Self-preservation is sacred, not selfish.

Summary
This spread says: not everything can come with you. Something needs to end so something else can grow—and part of that process might be messy. But mess isn’t failure. It’s evidence that you’re alive, moving, transforming. Let yourself be honest about what’s done, what’s changing, and what’s truly worth fighting for.

Reflection Questions

  • What have I outgrown—even if I haven’t admitted it yet?

  • Where am I spending energy out of habit instead of alignment?

  • What would change if I stopped trying to keep the peace?

Affirmations

  • I release what no longer serves me, even when it’s hard.

  • I do not owe anyone my silence or my suffering.

  • I am allowed to change. I am allowed to begin again.
