Not Everything This Week Is What It Appears To Be | May 15–22

Things are shifting this week — and the biggest mistake you could make is only looking at what's right in front of you.

The cards are highlighting:

• A change in your abundance that isn't the setback it looks like
• Where you've been tiptoeing trying to hold it all together — and what's actually coming
• The blessings and resources you're missing because you're focused on what's falling away
• Fast moving energy that picks up speed the moment you accept what's changing
• A powerful reminder that what you think about this week, you bring about

Don't be so focused on what’s not working out that you miss the wonderful options around you.

Hey, beautiful soul, welcome in for your weekly reading. Energy potentials check for May 15 through May 22 not everything is as meets the eye this week, so we're really going to dive in. It looks, according to these cards, into what we might think is going on and what is actually going on just beneath the surface this seems like there's some confusion, maybe some deception or misunderstanding in the energy this week for each of us in different areas of our lives. So let's dive in this first card we're looking at is five of pentacles, and in this card, what is depicted is almost like a church window, like a stained glass type window, which is made up of the five Pentacles and then two people who are out in this snowy, cold outside, bundled up in these coats, holding themselves five is often about change. So what I want to say here is there feels like there is some change in the abundance this week. Now, again, like I said, not everything is what first meets the eye. So while it might appear that these people are out in the cold, what might not be obvious is that they are out in the cold as of their own choosing. So they have chosen this change, and it could be because they want to leave and go start something new, for example. It could be because information has come to light and they no longer want to participate in what's going on, for example. But this next card really clarifies what is actually happening here. This next card we saw maybe about a month ago, this Midas Touch, king of pentacles. This is a king of the same suit that we were just talking about this, five of pentacles sitting on his throne, holding a pentacle, and his throne is golden, and there is a big city of industry behind him. So this is just letting you know that you do have the ability to make positive change, to grow your abundance. This could even be for some of you, like maybe a work contract or a job fell away. Maybe there's a contract you were working on or supposed to get, or a job you have been doing, and now something's changing, and you're feeling a little left out in the cold. Well, the truth is, you have the ability to turn this around, or to move forward in a really powerful way for yourself, to create abundance and kind of turn lemons to lemonade, maybe in a way that you haven't even considered yet. So the truth is, you are a powerful creator. You do have the ability the creativity and all of the tools you need to create abundance right now, it's some of it is perspective of how you're looking at things, and others is don't get stuck in just what meets the eye. Sometimes even I'm thinking about a time when I lost a contract, or had a contract canceled at the time, I was devastated, but ultimately it led to kind of bigger, better opportunities for me, more freedom and for me to truly love what I was doing. So kind of hang on to that as part of this. Now this next set of our message and potential for this week has to do with the suit of cups. Suit of cups is all about our emotional inner world, the relationships in our lives, those feelings closest to our heart. And this first card with the cups is this knight of cups. Now in this card, we see a horse that looks as though it is moving very slowly. The person on the card is sitting on the horse, riding it, holding this cup and holding it out in front of them, as if to not want to spill this precious contents of this cup. So this is often thought of as being one of the slower moving cards in the deck, because often we see horses in motion, and this horse is moving forward, but it's barely walking, I'll say it that way. And in the background this there's flat land. There's a river that this horse appears to be following the same direction as. So there's guidance. It feels very smooth and easy, no stress in this card. What I know about this as it relates to this reading is we were talking about things not always being as meets the eye, I feel like in some aspect of your emotional life right now, perhaps you are trying to move very slowly, to be on eggshells, to not rock any boats, to keep people in alignment, or trying to hold things together. And the truth of the matter we see in the next card, which is five of cups. And this is some of these cups being spilled over and some of them being upright. Now in this five of cups, which, again, five is change. We saw five of pentacles change in our abundance, or our tangible earthly life, five of cups change. Our emotions or our relationships, or what is available to us in this space, in this five of cups, this figure is standing on the shore. The water looks a little tumultuous. It's not giant waves, but it's certainly not still water. In the distance, there's a bridge crossing from the side of the bank that they're on over into the big city, and just at their feet, they kind of are looking down a little. They're in a black cloak of some kind, almost, it almost to me, gives the vibe of mourning sometimes with this card, and in front of them are three cups that are spilled over. And behind them, where they are not looking, not focusing, are two cups upright. Now, part of the message of this card, alongside this slow moving knight of cups, is that even though maybe you are trying to hold everything together, maybe it's even just within yourself that you're trying to hold everything together, something's got to give you don't have full control over every other participant in this situation or these emotions and what's coming up and how you'll feel, or the ability to make choices for others, some changes are just around the corner, even if it looks like you're successfully step by step, slowly moving everything forward and holding it all together. What's just around the corner is probably some version of a falling away or a spilling over of emotions and the acknowledgement with this card here, really is these two cups that are behind this person in this five of cups that they are not looking at when cups are spilled over in tarot, it often means a Challenge, a loss, a change when cups are upright. That means everything's fine, everything's good. This is wonderful. This is still in play. This is still moving ahead. So while there might be some area of our emotional life that is not moving forward or is coming to completion, or that we're even grieving to some degree, there are other areas that were not considered and not focused on, that are still upright, are still possible, are still at play, are still in the mix, are still maybe it's like you've got challenging emotions in one area, but really good emotions in another area. So just know change is brewing in your emotional space. You're still on the right track, you're still moving forward, but don't be alarmed if other people's choices or emotions or actions really affect what's happening, and expect to see some change in your emotional space or in your relationships. And it doesn't mean that this can't be in your professional life, because we have professional relationships too, right? But it just means don't be so focused on the things that feel challenging, or the parts that are not working out smoothly, that you miss the parts that are wonderful, that you miss the resources that you have, or the support you have, or the places where happy emotions are happening. We don't want to be so focused on the challenges that we miss the blessings, right? And this last card, I want to say, is to the overall energy here. This is eight of wands. Now, wands is a very passionate, fiery, wonderful energy. Eight has to do with what we are thinking about and the momentum on this car, there's a person on a motorcycle, and there are eight wands, kind of darting from the sky through the clouds. This is a fast motion card again. So we have been seeing some really fast energy in different ways in this past week. You might also, all of the sudden, come into new information, come into kind of like a aha moment in your heart of hearts, in your passion, in your direction. And then things might move very quickly once you make an internal decision or an internal choice, or once you accept a change that is coming up. This can also be energy that is external to you, so it could just mean that the energy in general is really picking up speed. I don't know about you, but for me, some weeks just feel faster than others. I have a dear friend who is expecting their first grand baby, and it just seems like the daughter's pregnancy is moving so fast. Oh my gosh. So it could be something like that, where it's just something external to you, feels like it's moving really fast and like we've got to hurry up and prepare. But this is positive motion. This isn't negative motion. And even with the fives, fives are change. But change isn't always bad. Sometimes something has to shift to make room for something new, or something needs to be left, you know, in the past, so that we can grow forward right? So just know not everything is as it meets the eye. This week, I would expect the energy to be very fast, quick pivots, quick changes, things that were kind of at a standstill or sluggish, really moving full speed ahead right now. Or if you've already been in that energy based on the last couple weeks readings where things have been moving fast, more of the same, but it's not a bad thing, and you can still pause and get clarity and look at things from a different perspective and realize how much abundance and how much of a full cup that you actually do have. This aid is all about perspective, what you're thinking about, what you're focusing on, and we have seen that throughout this entire reading, what the thoughts in your mind are, what you're wrestling with, what you're stewing on. It really matters right now in this energy. So instead of rewriting that angry email 100 times in your head, you'd be better off to just put on some music that you love and do something different, what you think about you bring about this week. So it's not that we want to do any bypassing spiritually or emotionally, but we do want to mind our thoughts, mind our actions, and mind the vibe that we are carrying. Because part of five even though there's change, there's always some choice, and we can choose how we want to hold whatever is going on and how we want to move forward. So let me know what is showing up in the energy for you this week. If you are not already following the podcast, I would love it if you give me a follow.
