Lizzie's Tarot Reading - Week 38: September 18th to September 24th, 2023

Published on September 18, 2023

Every week, I pull a card for the community and offer my thoughts on what the Tarot is predicting for us this week. Additionally, I recommend some cute things to do this week which are inspired by whichever card I pull!

This is my free tarot reading for the week number 38: September 18th to September 24th, 2023

Card of the week: The Upright Five of Swords

Sometimes when we stand up for ourselves, it will cause a level of conflict. It’s just a fact of life, and it can be uncomfortable to do so – but you are deserving of respect and you need to make sure that your voice is heard.

This week, the Five of Swords encourages you to stay mindful of how much energy and effort you are putting into certain conflicts, too. The key message here is not to let yourself be overwhelmed by any negative emotions caused by your interactions with others.

Be aware of how arguments drain your energy; take breaks when you need them, and if the situation is really getting out of hand – consider walking away.
