My favorite card this month is the Five of Fire (Five of Wands). I like this card because it accurately displays the turmoil that most of us face just getting through each day. Life can be challenging at times, that’s true but we often make it so by our expectations and responses. We start each day filled with tension and stress that often attracts more of the same to us. This card suggests that there is a better way if we get a grip on our own energies and focus on creating a more calming and peaceful attitude.

My favorite card is month is the Ten of Fire. It basically depicts a temper tantrum when we don’t get our way. It portrays the all too familiar traffic jam that delays us and keeps us from getting to our destination with the ease we expected. We don’t see the cause of the gridlock, only the result of bumper to bumper vehicles, some with drivers outside of their cars expressing their anger and frustration. Sometimes, things get in our way.  Becoming frustrated or angry only adds to an already challenging situation. If you can do something about it, do it. If you can’t, wait for it to pass or get out of your way. There is always a reason for the delay, even when we can’t see it and often it can be a blessing in disguise that we cannot see yet. Everything passes eventually. Nothing passes faster with anger and frustration. Do not give into it.
