Seven of Wands

You may find yourself with your back against the wall today and feeling the need to defend your thoughts or your actions.

This shouldn’t be too much of a problem though as you look confident, strong and well able to head off any opposition that comes your way.

One thing you should watch out for though is that the attack, although it looks to come directly at you, may not necessarily be clear cut.

For instance you cannot see who or what the problem is in this image from the artist Beeme’s gorgeous contribution to the 78 Tarot — rather it seems to be several things coming at you at once with the desire to knock you off your feet.

Be wary of anyone around you who seems envious or jealous as they may take an underhanded attempt to knock your confidence and/or undermine you.

I’d like to see them try though as you look so confident and assertive here that anyone who thinks they have a chance of knocking you down may have taken on more than they realised.

There is a lot of self love around you which can be seen in the pink hues in the dress and if you need a speedy retreat you have one already mapped out within the water behind you which I must say is the only fertile piece of nature in this image. Don’t be afraid to jump in… you never know what you’ll find or where it will lead you.

Eight of Wands

As we begin the New Year, Mars and Jupiter come together today in a powerful and dynamic opposition.

This is a high-energy aspect that ties in perfectly with the Eight of Wands.

You may have so much going on that it becomes difficult to figure out where to direct your attention. And you may have so much on your plate that you feel the need to rush as you scramble to get things accomplished.

The Eight of Wands is all about action, progress and momentum. It’s about getting things done and making things happen.

It may be as simple as ticking off all the little things on your to-do list, and it may be as significant as making great headway on an important project.

And with 2015 stretching out before you, it may be the monumental task of setting your intentions in motion in the form of New Years resolutions.

Although you may have expected to relax today (after a night of celebrations), you’re more likely to be busier than ever.

While it might feel to you like there just aren’t enough hours in the day, you could be surprised when it’s over at how much you really accomplished.

The Eight of Wands can also refer to travel. In that respect it relates to being literally and physically on the go. Are you planning a weekend getaway? Use this extra energy to make preparations for your trip.

Keep in mind though that the Mars / Jupiter transit can also be somewhat reckless. You want to stay alert and pay attention to your environment if you do end up making travel plans.
