The challenge for this coming week is to focus on reducing becoming overwhelmed and overburdened. In the process of working on this, we are to learn how to pay attention to the details of our overall well-being and what we’re doing. Read on for all the details!
This Coming Week’s Reading
The purpose of this Chaos Rally tarot reading is to take a look at the coming week and see in what way we can challenge ourselves to do better in regards to our overall wellness. I ask you to approach this as a fun brainstorming session of possibilities rather than me prescribing a course of action to you.
And again, in terms of wellness I want to point out that this applies to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self. All four of these comprise the total sense of being and need to be taken care of in order to be well. As always, and I cannot stress this enough, be sure to speak to the appropriate professional before making changes to your care plan. This is especially true if my reading for some reason inspires a change in diet, exercise, supplements, or medications, or even raises a concern regarding to your health.
I’m not a specialist in any of these fields. My goal is to look at how to manage wellness in the presence and with the cooperation of your professional care team. Please keep this in mind when going over this reading.
Here is the image of this coming week’s reading.
The Challenge: Ten of Wands

This card deals with being overburdened and struggling with pushing yourself to the point of exhaustion. Therefore, this coming week’s challenge is working on managing a healthy balance between work and rest to prevent injury and illness.
Bear in mind that how I define work here is whatever depletes your energy and resources throughout the day. So it’s whatever activities that are keeping you busy and aren’t refilling your cup. It doesn’t necessarily mean a traditional job.
The Lesson: Eight of Coins
We need to pay close attention to our body and what it’s telling us.
Grim Lee’s position represents what you need to be learning while working on your challenge. Therefore, your lesson at this time is found within the Eight of Coins.
The lesson to be learned here is we need to pay close attention to our body and what it’s telling us.
It’s critical to pay attention to the early signs of weakening and get the rest we need.
It’s one thing to push our limits for a short period of time, but entirely another to over extend ourselves for prolonged stretches. There comes a point where our very being weakens and starts to break from the strain.
It’s critical to pay attention to the early signs of weakening and get the rest we need. In the grand scheme of things, we will get more done by pacing ourselves than we will pushing ourselves well beyond our limits.

Murphy Law’s position represents the false belief you need to overcome while working on your challenge. The inner lie at this time is revealed within the Ace of Wands.

Start with the most important thing that needs to get done each day.
Just as you need to be paying attention to your sense of well-being, you also need to pay attention to the details of what you’re doing.
Start with the most stressful, time consuming, or pressing thing that needs to get done each day. This way you’re tackling that with your peak resources at the beginning of the day.
And you know what? If that happens to be the only thing you got done for that day, you know you got the most important thing out of the way. That’s a total win.
If you do get that done, move on the next most most stressful, time consuming, or pressing thing that needs to get done. Epic win!
