In this coming week’s wellness tarot challenge, we need to overcome the feeling of not being good enough as we leave behind the things in our lives that bring us harm and hold us back. Read on for 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: Four of Wands
The challenge this coming week is to find the courage to be vulnerable to at least one person in your life.
Monday Button’s position represents the challenge you need to be working on at this time. Thus, what you need to be working on right now is found within the Four of Wands.
The thing that strikes me most about this particular card is the deep connection and rapport the couple in the image appears to share. A connection like this one doesn’t occur randomly, although it can certainly feel that way.
What’s happening between these two individuals is they are truly bonding through their authenticity. The reason they can do this is because they are both willing to be vulnerable and take the risk involved with opening up to another person.
This card shows us that true courage and joy is found in vulnerability. The challenge for us this coming week is to find that courage to be vulnerable to at least one person in our lives. Allow ourselves to be more of our authentic selves to invite joy into our lives.
The Lesson: The Hanged Man
The lesson to learn this coming week is to put your trust into the universe.
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 Hanged Man.
The most important aspect of this image that grabs my attention is the willingness this person has to trust the powers that be to hang upside down like this over the water. Barely anything holds their feet and there is no safety net should they fall.
Put your trust into the universe. This is the lesson that the card holds for this coming week.
True vulnerability and thus, authenticity, cannot occur without trust.
True vulnerability and thus, authenticity, cannot occur without trust.
The individual in the image of the Hanged Man is taking a risk, but is doing so with the faith that everything will be alright. The couple in the image of the Four of Wands have also taken a risk and, in doing so, they found joy.
The Inner Lie: Three of Pentacles
The false belief to work on overcoming at this time is that you’re not enough, because you are enough.
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 Three of Pentacles.
This card depicts collaboration, skill, focus, and forward movement within a small group. I get the sense that this card being in this position right now aptly reflects that we all harbor the fear of not being good enough for others in some way.
The false belief to we need to work on overcoming at this time is that we’re not enough, because we are. We each possess a unique combination of skills, talents, and energy to bring to the table that no one else has.
The people you should be looking for are the ones that accept and celebrate your authentic self.
So here’s the thing, by being vulnerable and authentic you reveal to the world your unique combination of skills, talents, and energy to the world.
Will everyone like it? No. The reality is though, the people that don’t aren’t going to be the ones that move you forward the way the group in the Three of Pentacles are.
The people you should be looking for are the ones that accept and celebrate your authentic self. These are the people who will move forward and find joy with you.
When you are with the right people, it becomes easier to trust in yourself, the process, and the universe.
When you are with the right people, it becomes easier to trust in yourself, the process, and the universe. They build you up, not bring you down.
It’s also important to note that when they are your people, you are willing to do the same for them as well. You’ll find yourself building them up just as much. The relationship will be reciprocal, not one sided. They will be able to trust in you as much as you trust in them.
In order to find your people , you will need to trust in the universe and allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to be truly authentic.
It’s important to keep in mind here that in order to find your people , you will need to trust in the universe and allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to be authentic.
Only then will you be able to know true joy in life.
The Wisdom: Eight of Cups
The wisdom for this coming week is that your authentic path is what works for you and brings you overall improved wellness.
Wise Toad’s position represents the wisdom to keep in mind as you work on your challenge. The wisdom you need at this time is found within the Eight of Cups.
See how this woman turns away from the cups and faces the flow of the river in the image of this card? She holds in her left hand a lantern as though preparing herself to set out on a new journey. The violin in her right suggests she seeks to fulfill a dream or passion of hers.
Dean Graziosi often says that success leaves clues. Go where you feel stronger, brighter, more vibrant, celebrated, inspired, invigorated, and energized. Leave behind whatever makes you feel drained, undesired, unappreciated, ugly, unwell – you get the idea.
Your authentic path is what works for you and brings you overall improved wellness. It will not wreck you, but rather challenge and strengthen you. This is the wisdom to keep in mind for this coming week.
By turning away from the things that wreck you, and not only will you discover your authentic self, you will find true joy.

Trust both yourself and the universe as you decide what you need to leave behind in order to make your life better.
