Welcome to the second week of February! While love is in the air and we’re all beginning to
dream of warmer days, the cards have a slightly more introspective message for us this week.
This week, we are met by the Nine of Swords. This card often represents those "3:00 AM" thoughts, the worries, stresses, and fears that we try to ignore during the busy daylight hours, only to have them come flooding back the moment things get quiet.
When we feel overwhelmed, it’s human nature to seek an escape. Sometimes that manifests as distraction, but it can also lead to unhealthy habits or cycles of avoidance as we search for a way to numb the burden.
The Nine of Swords isn't a "scary" card; it’s a wake-up call. It asks you to stop running and start confronting your fears in a tangible way. To move forward, try these steps:
- Externalize it: Write your worries in a journal, talk them through with a trusted friend, or even express them through art.
- Draft a Plan: Once the fear is out of your head and "into the air," it often loses its power. Take a moment to map out one or two small steps you can take to address the issue.
Remember, true healing and growth require us to face the things that weigh us down. You aren't just "dealing with problems"—you are clearing the path for your own development.
