I feel such a beautiful energy today and I hope that somehow I can share it in this post with you.
The meditation today is short but very uplifting and power-filled!
A most interesting tarot reading for this week. Sometimes it seems like I see some of the same cards over and over, but I trust the process. I randomly pull them, so there is no manipulation on my part. The Universe brings the message we need to hear.
I feel that the Seven of Pentacles applies to all of us who write our stories, or any other creative endeavors. It shows you understand the value of putting in time and energy now for longer-term rewards and have a strong desire to invest in sustainable results. You are not looking for quick wins (but wouldn’t we all love a quick win?). You also want to make sure you are putting your attention on the right areas instead of wasting time and effort on tasks that will not deliver any value. Sometimes we need to step back from day-to-day operations and take a look at the bigger picture. If you have been working hard or putting extra effort into something challenging and important for the last few months, the endeavor or project is near its culmination. Rest assured, your hard work will pay off. You are likely to see financial or other tangible rewards for all of your hard work.
The Page of Pentacles brings a message of new beginnings, as does the Ace. When the Page of Pentacles appears in a Tarot reading, you are tapping into your ability to manifest a personal goal or dream, or the start of a new educational experience. You are excited about the possibilities and potential of what you put your mind to, knowing you can create whatever you want with focused intention and action. This Page does not specify the fulfillment of dreams as much as the initial motivation and energy to begin the process of turning those dreams into reality.
The Ace of Swords seems to show up often for us. It marks a wave of new energy from the intellectual realms. You may be on the verge of a significant breakthrough or a new way of thinking that allows you to view the world with clear eyes. Or, you may have a sudden realization or conscious understanding about an issue that has been troubling you and can finally see the path ahead of you. Meditate regularly to clear away the mental chatter and make the most of this intellectual potential.
My overall take on this reading is that while we may be nearing the end of one project, there are new ones on the horizon with strong energy and inspiration behind them. Your thoughts?
I think it’s spot on. I’ve been doing my own readings again recently. And no matter which deck, same messages of new beginnings coming through 🙂 x
That is so fitting, Debby, whether you want new beginnings or not. Sometimes we are forced into them. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment! Hugs!
Thank you very much, Jan! There is a lot of positive energy in the air. But i also can not really feel it. Congratulations to you! Let we seek the energy. Have a beautiful rest of the week, and a enjoyable weekend! xx Michael
Thank you for stopping by, Michael!! I love your positive comment!

There are some fascinating and ancient forms of foretelling the future and one of the most interesting to me is Tarot Cards.. in the hands of a skilled reader they can inspire, motivate and scare…. No fears this week with the positive energy from Jan Sikes post on Monday not just from the Tarot Cards but also a five minute positive thinking exercise.. head over to be re-energised..
Thank you, Sally, for reblogging!! Big hugs!
Pleasure Jan..hugs ♥
I’m trying to get back to my writing (I miss it) but my heart isn’t in it, and until that changes…
Thanks for the motivating post, Jan.
It’s an ebb and flow, Jacquie, and you have lots on your plate right now. I have absolutely NO doubt that you’ll be churning out those amazing words of yours again soon! Hugs!
There is always a new project on the horizon, Jan. Sometimes it’s more than one. I currently have 4 WIPs and 2 baking projects on the go.
Lol, Robbie! You are absolutely amazing. I don’t see how you do all that you do AND still work and take care of a family. Your energy is inspiring!
Great reading, meditation, and dragon card, Jan. I feel like I’m at a place to move to the next level or step of my journey.
That’s a good (if not scary sometimes) place to be, Denise. I’m glad you enjoyed the post and thank you for leaving a comment!
I’m liking the cards for this week, Jan. The Seven of Pentacles especially applies to me since I just finished my WIP. Have a great week!
I totally agree, Teri. I like the cards, too. Congrats on finishing your WIP! That’s such a good feeling. Thank you for stopping by!
I love your interpretation of the 7 of pentacles. And amazing how harmonious the meanings of all the three cards make one meaning in the end. Wow!
I’m glad you enjoyed the reading, Erika. I love how the cards all come together to form an uplifting story. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!
My pleasure, Jan 😊
It would be nice to have a reward at the end of hard work. Super reading, Jan
For sure, John. And especially a reward in a monetary form. But as writers, we know the odds of that are slim, so our rewards have to be in the satisfaction of successfully telling another story. Thank you for stopping by!
That is all I ever wanted anyway so I’m good.
Hmmm….Maybe I’ll hear from my editor this week about my new proposal??? Can’t wait to see. The reading and meditation is very good as always. Love you, Sister!
Yes! Hopefully, you will hear something this week, sister. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll get a release date for Jagged Feathers this week. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. Thank you for stopping by! Love you!!
Interesting reading Jan.. I know some of my projects are coming to an end and some are beginning with new directions and changes to current endeavours. Looking forward to seeing where it takes me. hugsx
It’s always exciting to see, Sally! We never know what’s waiting for us around the next corner. Thank you for your comment and best wishes for all of your projects!
♥♥
Interesting reading. I hope there is something interesting on my horizon.
Hmmmm, more pumpkin beer, Craig? 🙂 Just joking, of course. I see something very interesting on your horizon. Halloween is coming and can’t wait to see what you do for that! Have a great day!
Thanks, Jan.
I am in the middle of a project right now, but I’m also looking ahead to others on the horizon. I do feel energized by the project I’m currently working on at the moment and am often frustrated when I can’t fit time in to dedicate to it.
I LOVE the rose pink dragon. What a gorgeous card!
I can relate to that frustration, Mae. While I don’t work full time, I do work part-time and often I’m just getting started good and creativity flowing when I have to shut it down and head out. 🙂 Part of life’s challenges, I suppose. It’s wonderful to feel energized by a creative project. I’ve been stalled, but today feel the energy pulling me forward! I love the dragon cards and am enjoying working with them. This one was stunning! Thank you for stopping by, Mae, and have a great day! Hugs!
It feels like every day of my life is the same, yet things are always in flux. A weird dichotomy. Hoping whatever is in store is a positive (for all of us). Fascinating draw, Jan.
That is an interesting observation, Staci, and it’s true. While things appear the same, every day brings a different challenge or joy. I’m raising my coffee cup to the joys! Thank you for stopping by! Hugs!
A very exciting reading, Jan. It’s brimming with potential for the future and sending positive messages to projects just completed! An uplifting post! As for the mental chatter … I definitely need to do something about that!
Lol, Annika. Mental chatter is our constant companion. But after a while, we just tune it out, much like the noises around us. Thank you for your comment. I’m happy you enjoyed the post!
I need new beginnings and positive thinking! I’m having a hard time getting started with a new writing project. Thanks for today’s meditation.
I’m in the same boat, Joan, in that I’ve stalled out writing my WIP. But I’m energized and ready to tackle it along with all the blog posts I need to write for the launch of the new book. I’m happy you enjoyed the meditation! We all benefit from positive affirmations! Thank you for leaving a comment!
Wow! The reading today is spot on for me. Yesterday I submitted a new 3 book proposal I’ve been working on for several weeks. Thanks for the meditation, Jan!
Oh, how exciting, Jill! Here’s hoping for a successful outcome to the proposal! Thank you for stopping by!
I just finished remodeling my bathrooms, and now that school has started, I’m completely enthralled with two new programs to learn and teach. I’m also getting reading to promote my soon-to-release book and will spend some time this week writing blog posts to promote it. I’ve been putting it off, but with a reading like that, I’m all in! Great post, Jan! 🙂
That is SO awesome, Yvette! I too have been putting off writing blog posts for the launch of my new book, but I am energized to tackle it! Congrats on the remodeling and how exciting to learn new programs. Thank you for your wonderful comment and I wish you all the best!
