Decks Used: Celtic Tarot (1989 edition, long out of print)

This week’s pull leans into quiet power, emotional fullness, and the importance of collaboration. The energy centers on internal reckoning and external support, with signs that some cycles are closing — especially around emotional load and burnout. It's not about major life changes, but the kind of steady shift that builds momentum over time.

🌕 Overall Energy — Queen of Wands (Upright)
This card holds radiant, grounded confidence. The Queen of Wands doesn’t need to prove herself — she simply is. This week carries a sense of owning one’s power with warmth and self-assurance. It’s not about domination, but embodiment. There may be a call to stand fully in personal truth, lead with creativity, or show up more boldly in one’s everyday life.

🌘 Internal — Seven of Swords (Reversed)
This reversal often speaks to moments of reckoning — with the self or with a truth that can no longer be avoided. There may be a release of self-deception or outdated coping strategies. It's a time to question: what mental or emotional patterns are no longer serving? Honesty with oneself becomes the necessary first step.

🌗 External — Ten of Cups (Upright)
This week’s external energy is full of emotional richness. The Ten of Cups represents fulfillment, connection, and peace in relationships or community. It suggests that emotional support is available — even if it shows up quietly or in small ways. Collective joy or comfort may be closer than it appears.

🌑 Challenge — Ten of Wands (Reversed)
A clear signal of burnout or overwhelm. Reversed, this card can indicate resistance to letting go of responsibilities or pressure. The challenge lies in acknowledging that it’s time to put something down. Whether it’s a project, a role, or emotional weight — release is possible, but only through conscious choice.

🌒 Ally — Three of Pentacles (Upright)
Support this week shows up through teamwork, mutual respect, and shared effort. This is a reminder that collaboration — not isolation — is a strength. Whether through coworkers, chosen family, or online connections, progress comes from building together. Let others contribute.

🧹 Summary
This spread reflects a week of subtle but powerful shifts. There’s a strong thread of completion energy, especially around emotional and energetic cycles. The Queen of Wands anchors the week with steady self-trust, while the reversed Seven of Swords asks for internal honesty. External influences are supportive and emotionally rich, but the real challenge lies in whether we’re willing to release burdens we’ve carried for too long. Collaboration and shared energy offer grounding and progress.
