The holiday season is fast approaching, but you dont need to get swept up in the chaos.
Every month, I ask my tarot deck, What do we need to know?
This November, boundaries will keep your head clear and your heart kind.
Be confident in your abilities and your boundaries.
This card is about clarity, so use this time as an opportunity to untangle your thoughts.
Journal, communicate, plan, and strive to work more smoothly with other people.
Youre smart, capable, and you have no time for BS.
Be receptive; this is an ideal time for fresh starts.
Your Obstacle: Knight of Wands
The Knight of Wands cautions you against impulsiveness and temper tantrums.
You have so much creative energy, passion, and potential you just need to find the right outlet.
If youre overwhelmed or angry, hold off on making big decisions.
Give yourself a chance to vent and process your feelings first.
Your Action: Ace of Swords
The Ace of Swords brings cool, collected energy.
When life gets chaotic, take a step back.
Assess the facts and focus on taking one step at a time.
Do you have relationships, situations or even beliefs that need pruning?
Trim them and dont look back.
Keep your attention squarely on setting yourself up for a promising future.
Your Lesson:Temperance
The angel of Temperance reminds you that good things take time.
If youve ever enjoyed perfectly caramelized onions or delicious low and slow barbecue, you know thats true.
You are changing alchemizing, even and that takes patience, tenderness, and grace.
Be gentle yet disciplined with yourself as you learn new skills and find your footing.
Instead, maintain compassion for yourself and others while also being honest about your limits.
Its a lot to balance, so look for routines that make you feel grounded.
Practice checking in with yourself, perhaps with a breathing exercise.
I like the 4-7-8 technique.
This method comes from pranayama (ancient yogic breathwork) and canreduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.
