In this coming week’s wellness tarot challenge, involves healing the heart with compassion while surrendering to the wisdom of the universe. 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: Strength
The challenge for this coming week is to have compassion,
not just for others but for yourself as well.
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 Strength.
The image in this card is one of compassion. See the kindness and love this woman has for the lion? The challenge for this coming week is to have compassion, not just for others but for yourself as well.
The Lesson: The Magician
With each new task set before us, we need to learn how we have what it takes within us to accomplish it with the unique skill sets and resources we possess.
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 Magician.
Notice how in the image the man stands in a flourishing garden with all the tools he needs before him. He is fully prepared and ready for what he is about to do.
The same is true for you. You have everything you need within you to accomplish your tasks. This is the lesson you need to learn. And yes, it’s a lesson we all need to learn with each new task set before us.
It is in learning how to make it happen that manifesting works.
It’s important to remember to have compassion for yourself as you go through this process with new tasks.

The Inner Lie: Two of Cups
All you need is one person to be vulnerable with in order to find your authentic voice and connect with them to find the emotional healing you need.
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 Two of Cups.
The image of this card shows a couple with a caduceus in the background, so the symbology here means a couple of things here. We have love, healing, unity, and alchemy going on. So where is the false belief in all of this?
You’re not alone. You’re not unloved. And you can find healing for your heart in your life.
All you need is one person to be vulnerable with in order to find your authentic voice and connect with them to find the emotional healing you need.
It could be a family member, a friend, a spiritual advisor, or a therapist. Doesn’t matter. One small step at a time. Take it at your pace.
The healing process is not really a solo operation.
The path of healing of healing is a painful one so compassion is required along the way. True healing also requires patience and strength throughout.
It’s important to note that as humans we are genetically designed to be social creatures. This isn’t something we need to experience alone. There is strength in numbers. The healing process is not really a solo operation.
No matter how hard it gets, whether it’s healing your heart or interacting with others, remember always you have everything you need within you to pull through.
No matter how hard it gets, whether it’s healing your heart or interacting with others, remember always you have everything you need within you to pull through.
If someone cannot accept your authentic self, then they are not a member of your soul tribe. Never forget this. Never be willing to sacrifice your true self in favor of someone else’s approval.
Be willing to embrace the fact that no one is perfect, including yourself.
Have faith, patience, and compassion as you embark in your journey to connect with others in order to heal the heart of either yourself or them.
Be willing to embrace the fact that no one is perfect, including yourself.
The Wisdom: The Hanged Man
The wisdom for this coming week is to surrender to the wisdom of the universe.
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 Hanged Man.
This is an image of a man hanging upside down by only a slender vine tied to one foot and the pole. Why would he do this? This card has always been puzzling to me in so many ways since I’m not one to easily surrender to the unknown. And… this is exactly what this card is about.
- Surrender to faith.
- Surrender to different points of view.
- Surrender to not needing to be right.
- Surrender to imperfection.
- Surrender to uncertainty.
Many of these things I struggle with. I don’t care what the answer is, I just have to know. I need to have a plan. I’m willing to find out I’m wrong so long as I know where I’m going ahead of time.
This card being here in this position however, means that the wisdom for this coming week is to surrender to the wisdom of the universe. To loosen up and let go of these needs a bit. The man in the image isn’t in a free fall; he’s still tethered but he isn’t completely chained to that pole either.
Things aren’t likely to make sense right away,
so have patience with the process as you go through it.
Things aren’t likely to make sense right away, so have patience with the process as you go through it. In time, you’ll come to understand why events unfolded the way they did.
The universe reacts to all these choices you make and
it’s through these reactions your life manifests before you.
Whatever the universe throws at you remember these two things: first, that life is nothing more than a series of reactions and second, you’ve got this.
Everything happening in your life is a result of choices you have made along the way. Whether conscious or subconscious, direct or indirect, those choices were still yours.
Who have you allowed into your life? Who do you allow to remain into your life? Which relationships do you cultivate and which ones do you allow to wither? What habits do you foster daily? What are the stories you tell yourself?
The universe reacts to all these choices you make and it’s through these reactions your life manifests before you.
Surrendering to the wisdom of the universe is critical
in both the healing process and in being authentic with others.

Healing doesn’t always go exactly the way we think it should and often operates on its own schedule. The healing process is not linear. There will be regression and cyclic progression. Understanding this won’t make it faster, but will lessen the resistance and the struggle involved.
It’s also important to open our heart spaces enough to be accepting of other people’s view points in order to emotionally connect. This means letting go of the need to be right all the time. This need closes the heart and cuts off our ability to connect. It shuts out the other person by invalidating them.
Conclusion
Life is not a competition, but rather a discovery.
Whether you are trying to heal your heart this coming week or connect more with others, remember that it is important to have patience and compassion as you surrender to the process and that you have within you everything you need to accomplish the task before you.
Life is not a competition, but rather a discovery.
