Today's Tarot - 4 of Wands

A stick can't flex unless one end is held strong. Some ideas are basic, are foundational. Being adaptable doesn't mean you have to give up the the things that give you roots, and a strong footing. It's hard to bend when your feet slip with every move. Tolerance accepts others, but it accepts the core of who you are too.

Flexibility is adaptive, alive and strong, and it works in perfect harmony with a strong foundation, self-confidence and self-esteem.

"You, yourself, as much as anyone, deserves your love and affection" 

- attributed to Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha)

"Loss and tragedy doesn't have to make you darker, it can make you deeper"

- Agusten Burroughs

9 OF WANDS daily tarot reading

The 9 of wands has to do with acceptance...accept yourself and your circumstances as they are.

But that is not to mean that you give up hope of change, or stop acting on behalf of things you believe in...most of all not to give up on your own growth and learning.

Acceptance is a very different thing than hopeless resignation...

It is a warriors card. It is a card of acceptance, yes, but this implies realism and pragmatism, not hopelessness. It implies practicality, not resignation.

This card reminds us to play the cards we are dealt. It says nothing about giving up on the game.

9 of Wands Tarot daily meditation

9 of Wands: Acceptance. Acceptance is tied to judgement - what is acceptABLE and what needs more effort. Acceptance is an active process, not fatalistic surrender without thought or self-esteem.
