The Moon

You're currently feeling somewhat out of sorts, uncertain and mentally on edge. Just like the moon and tides, our lives (and in turn, our minds) have a natural rhythm to them, a waxing and waning of our feelings and actions. Sometimes we feel great, but sometimes we feel as though everything is in utter chaos and we aren't sure how to settle it all down again. It can be not only stressful, but often downright scary at times for things to feel so out of control. If you find yourself experiencing some discomfort or fear, remember that this doesn't have to be a negative experience. Listen to the inner you, to your instincts, to find the solutions to what is troubling you. You always have the answers you need, it's just that sometimes you need to do some serious mental digging to find them and act on them. It is in this merging of the subconscious mind (the dark), with the conscious mind (the light) that makes us stronger and more confident. The more you can integrate your two selves, the more you'll find yourself experiencing that oh-so powerful, everything-is-as-it-should-be feeling.

Eight of Swords

You're feeling tied up by circumstances in your life right now, and while things may seem terrible, they're not as dire as you think they are and are actually mostly self-created. You're caught up in your own little drama and aren't sure how to extricate yourself from it, though to accomplish this, all it will take is a few moments of complete calm and a little rational thinking. You need to guard yourself against becoming too rigid in your thinking and learn how to stop yourself from becoming paralyzed by your own fears. If it is an old belief system or behavioral pattern that is reinforcing your inhibitions, then you must find a way to break free from it. Being trapped by indecision, mental anguish or negativity only exacerbates a situation even more. Remember that things are seldom as awful as we think they are.

Eight of Wands

Things in your life will be moving fairly quickly in the near future towards a new beginning. You may have just started a new project, or are about to start one, and your energy for this is boundless; your enthusiasm limitless. This is a time of action with your creative energy peaking and you're going to be able to channel it in a very positive and productive way. This may mean advancement at work, or perhaps even some travel as you broaden your horizons. It may indicate a new creative endeavor for which you have tremendous forward momentum. You should expect to meet new and vibrant people right now, regardless of whether you're staying at home or going someplace exciting. This is a highly stimulating time and you must take full advantage of it.

Nine of Pentacles

Everything is going according to plan. You're reaping the rewards of all your hard work and this is making you feel very secure, very content and very pleased. You're presently at peace with yourself and feel good not only about where you are in your life, but who you are as well. You're able to truly appreciate the obstacles that you've surmounted to get to the place you're in and you feel as though you have a pretty fair grasp of your identity and your talents as well. This feeling of deep satisfaction you're experiencing is coming from your own sense of self and (possibly for the first time in a very long time) not from the validation of others. You like your own company and that's a beautiful thing.

Strength

Expect some challenges in your immediate future, but don't despair! By using your inner resources, your innate courage and self-control, you'll be able to overcome any obstacles you may be facing. Being determined to succeed always means having to find the willpower to overcome whatever is thrown your way and you already have the necessary strength to accomplish what you wish. It's a matter of trusting in your abilities. We all have self-defeating traits and inner voices that whisper negative things in our ear. The trick is to find a way to lessen the power this personal soundtrack has on your life. Recognize that you are fully equipped to not only deal with your own powerful emotions, but any challenges presented to you as well. Once you are able to harness these energies within you, you will more than succeed at what you put your mind to.
