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.

By Jessica Abbott
You’re feeling as though you’re on fire, brimming and burning with inspiration, passion and excitement. You’ve plotted and planned, working hard and putting all of your effort as you look toward the future. You’re seeing the growth that you desire. There may even be a chance to step into a role that brings with it a fair amount of authority.
Let your passion show, but be careful not to let it consume you. Impulsive decisions and actions will create obstacles in the coming weeks. You may find yourself ignoring the guidance from those around you, pushing yourself forward that can lead to disaster. Something that you may or may not be able to recover from.
Take care to stay on control and listen to the guidance of your superiors, especially trusted ones. They have knowledge and wisdom that comes with their experience and will help you learn to take all of your wild and burning creative energy and give it structure and focus.
You have the chance to become a leader in your own right, with eyes on the future and seeing all it has to offer you, able to pass on your own wisdom and guide those who will come after.
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.
