Tarot Tuesday, 12/22/15

Today's card drawn is.....wait.....really?  The Knight of Swords AGAIN??  Okay, I'm doing a re-draw, but in the meantime, go back and read the last two times the "Knight of Swords" was drawn for Tarot Tuesday.  Too funny.  Maybe we'd better pay attention!  We are obviously supposed to listen to this message.

Today's card drawn is the Six of Wands.

This is a great card to finish out 2015 with.  The Six of Wands is all about success, victory and public recognition.  This card indicates that you have succeeded in achieving your goals and are being acknowledged for your efforts and for your results. Perhaps you recently received an award or some sort of recognition from your peers for the work that you have done. Sometimes this is simply a kind word from someone or an expression of gratitude for what you have done.  Sometimes it's more than that.  The result is an increase in your self-confidence and encouragement to continue.

The Six of Wands shows that you have focused your talents, energies and strengths to bring about a successful outcome in your endeavors.  You have overcome confusion and distractions to achieve what needed to be done. There have been challenges and trials which you have overcome.  You are now focused on the one goal that will lead to your success.  It's your time to shine.

This really is a positive card of encouragement to believe in who you are and what you are capable of.  Do not let fear or guilt stand in the way of your success.  Feel proud of what you have achieved and hold your head up high.  You are worthy of the attention you will receive.

It is also okay at this point to promote yourself publicly.  That can be one of the hardest things to do, but it will benefit others to share your success stories and encourage them to follow a similar journey. This is even a good time to apply for awards or scholarships.

There is also a downside to this card.  It can bring about self-importance, arrogance and egotistical behavior.  Sometimes victory can make you think that nobody can be better than you and you could have an inflated ego and a big head.  If you keep this in check, you will be fine.  One of the best ways to do this is to be sure and congratulate someone else for what they have done.  Never ever put someone else down and always look at them in a positive way and recognize them just as you would appreciate to be recognized.  With great success comes great responsibility  That's an important thing to remember.

There will be one more card drawn in 2015.  I'm hoping it's a good one!  It's a good time to look back and see how far you have come this year.  Check back tomorrow for Witchy Wednesday, enjoy your success, and have a terrific Tuesday!
