Stay sharp and at attention

Merry meet, dear readers. Before you continue, take note: Tarot is for everyone, no matter your walk of life. While the cards have their own singular meanings, tarot is also largely intuitive and the meanings can change; no two tarot readers read the same way. This is a generalized reading, so take only what resonates with you and discard the rest.
This is a saying many are familiar with and it is the overlying conflict in near future. The journey has most certainly been filled with wrong turns and holes in the road, but here lately you’ve seen a series of successes that have made your spirits soar and pushed your motivations to the moon.
Enjoy the wins, but don’t let your guard down. Everyone’s competitors come in different forms and they’ll come out of left field and leave you blindsided if you’re not careful. Keep your eyes sharp, your work organized and keep your attentions on the details.
Stand firm and make sure you’ve got backup. If you’re in a position of leadership, make sure you’re keeping your team in check and making sure that they’re in a position to stand with you. Be wary, because your competition could be amongst you in hiding.
Keep your wits about you and do your best to be good both to yourself and others and you’ll continue to succeed, leaving you with continued emotional comfort. If you’re not careful, though, setbacks will leave you picking up the pieces and possibly starting over.
I hope you find something for yourself in this reading, reader. May your days be filled with love and light, even when it all feels too much; and remember to always be kind. Merry part, and merry meet again! Blessed be.
