Friday's Feet on the Fire: 5 Minute Tarot Connection

The Alchemical Tarot

Today's final draw for the week is the 9/Wands. 9/Wands reflects perseverance in the face of adversity, stamina to overcome obstacles, careful and defensive maneuvers. 9/Wands encourages you to remain steadfast and disciplined as you finish the last leg of a race, finish out that job you hate and leave with dignity, to remain committed to your goals and know that this final test is a big one, and what you have been working so hard for is just around the corner.

We tend to repeat lessons until we learn them and some of the lessons are hard. 9/Wands is another card that tempers your resolve by placing challenges in your way, and to warn you of a battle on the horizon. Whether you pass the test has to do with how hard you are willing to work and how much you, ultimately, believe you are capable of. 9/Wands is a gamechanger; walk the fire and come out on the other side.

1. When faced with adversity, what do you do and how has that served you?

2. Think back to times where you were sorely challenged and you persevered, what skills/
     attitudes/headgame did you play that made you successful?

3. 9/Wands is a challenge card, what needs your discipline and resolve in
     your life right now?
