It’s the 49th week of the year and the card of the week is the 8 of Swords. The 8 of Swords appears when you’re all wrapped up in your own stress and emotions and you’ve gone too deep within to make a decision about something. This week there will be a lot of ups and downs, most likely coming from outside forces. There are 4 cards: Knight of Cups, Queen of Cups, Queen of Swords and the Hierophant that could represent people who will affect you this week. Some of them, like the Knight and Queen of Cups, are supportive while others, like the Queen of Swords and the Hierophant, could appear cold and distance. There are also cards of finality and decisions that need to be made. This will be a week when you will be asked to sacrifice something for the greater good because it’s holding you back. There were an uncommon amount of swords that showed up this week leading me to believe that this will be a week that tests your mind. Lastly, remember that we are in Mercury Retrograde pre-shadow period so communication may be a bit muddled and electronics may not behave. The number of the week is 4, a number that assures you that you have the strong foundation that you need to overcome these challenges.
Mantra: Everything runs its course.

Sunday 12/4/16 Knight of Cups
Numerology: 7
Moon in Aquarius
