The Five of Swords…

The bulk of your day is coming to a close and from the outside, things seem smashing. But, all day you may have had the uneasy feeling that something just isn’t quite right. Dark thoughts encircling your every move and the strange notion that you have been deceived. You feel it, but you just can’t see it yet. The fear that this deception will materialize when you least expect it has become imprinted in your mind. It’s hard to shake this because you don’t even really understand where it’s coming from or what it’s all about. Not a fun headspace to negotiate, but it looks like you may have to sift through those thoughts to try to get ahead of this darkness surrounding you. Tonight, before bed, write down your five biggest anxieties regarding being misled - who or what in your life would cause you the most pain if they turned out to be not what they seemed? When you write it down, imagine those ideas being expelled from your own sword onto that paper. By releasing them to the world - they are no longer haunting your mind. Under each one, write a brief summary of what you might do or say to protect yourself should that element of your life reveal itself as a deception. Now, fold up that paper, put it someplace safe and forget it. If any of this materializes in a malicious way down the line - retrieve your paper and you will find the advice you desperately need. But, right now, you need a clear mind and focused energy - free of worry! Let it go….
