March Guidance Reading
Five of Swords, Four of Wands & Ace of Wands
March is bringing out the fiery and passionate nature of Wands, as we get closer to spring, with a firm reminder not to lose our heads as things heat up.
The polarizing presence of the Five of Swords in this lineup comes as an aside or persistent reminder to accompany the Wands. We are being warned to be mindful about our approach to conflict or victory. Who are we harming in the process and what doors are we closing in the future by doubling down on this battle now? We must always ask ourselves if a 'victory' is worth the cost. It's easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment but a stray flame is always capable of burning the most valued bridges.
Four of Wands pulls us out of the mind and back into the moment with a look at what's in front of us: community. Take a moment to identify your circle and who it includes. Your support system is in need of a little attention. The warmth and centering of this card tells us that fostering our circle is just the reprieve we need. Are there any achievements that need celebrating or special events in your lives? Even if not, now's a good time to be in the moment with your people - create an opportunity to celebrate, uplift each other, and refill that community cup!
Ace of Wands brings an intensity to this month's reading with strong inspirations and passion. Use this strong energy to your advantage and get ahead on your current projects or rise out of a stagnant period with a new sense of motivation. Ace of Wands brings a change of pace that revitalizes our goals and desires. Mindfulness of the Five of Swords will come into play most importantly here as this intense energy can have us getting easily carried away.
Watering our garden (Four of Wands) will prevent any stray sparks (Ace of Wands) of a bonfire from setting ablaze and destroying (Five of Swords) our hard work.
Never lose sight of what's truly important just to placate your ego, and don't bite the hand that feeds you to get to the top.
