Deck used: The Witches Tarot

This spread has a lot of power and focus. Nothing chaotic, but definitely intense. It’s the kind of energy that asks you to pay attention to where you’re putting your effort—and whether that effort is actually going anywhere. This week feels like it’s about being intentional, not reactive. So let’s go through it.

🌕 Overall Energy — Five of Swords

This card usually gets framed as a warning—dishonesty, unnecessary conflict, someone trying to win at any cost. But that’s not what I’m feeling from it right now.

This version of the Five of Swords feels more like focused ambition. It’s not about being ruthless. It’s about being clear about what matters, and not wasting energy on what doesn’t. Some things are worth standing your ground for. You don’t have to fight—but if you do, make sure it’s for the right reasons.

🌘 Internal — The Emperor

This one feels steady. The Emperor is structure, yes, but it’s also self-respect. Knowing what you stand on and building from there.

I see this positively—it’s strength without needing to prove anything. You already have what you need to make this week work. Lean into the systems and routines that support you. Trust the foundation you’ve already built.

🌗 External — The Crone (unique card)

The Crone doesn’t shout. She watches. She knows.

This card in the external position makes me think there’s something happening around you that could teach you something—if you’re paying attention. Could be a conversation, could be a pattern you’re just now noticing. Stay curious. Let the world show you what it knows.

🌑 Challenge — Four of Coins

With all this ambition and power showing up, this one makes sense.

The Four of Coins is about frugality, but not just with money. It’s about energy, time, trust—whatever you’re trying to manage. Holding back might feel safe right now, but ask yourself: am I doing this because it’s wise, or because I’m afraid to let go?

This card isn’t a judgment. It’s just a reminder to check your grip.

🌒 Ally — The Tower (Reversed)

I had to think about this one for a bit. Reversed Tower as an ally? That’s unusual.

But honestly? I think this is a reminder that not all transformation has to be explosive. Sometimes you don’t need to burn it all down. Sometimes the change is already happening quietly, in the background.

If you’re staying in place this week, that might actually be a good thing. Not every shift needs to be dramatic to be real.

🧹 Summary

This week is about power, direction, and restraint. You’re not being asked to hustle harder or burn yourself out. You’re being asked to get clear on what’s actually worth your energy—and to protect it without shutting everything down.

You don’t need to do everything. You just need to move with purpose.

🪞Reflection Questions

• What am I spending (energy, time, trust) without realizing it?

• Where am I holding back—and is that helping or hurting?

• What would it mean to stay right here and still grow?
