thoughtcatalog--2020-04-20--This Week‘s Collective Energy To Guide You Through The Covid-19 Pandemic

There is a strong pull for many of you to think hard about and plan for , financial and physical security right now .
It ’ s not a terribly surprising card to see for the collective , given the circumstances .
This tells me that many of you out there are either looking to get stable footing financially or are focusing your efforts on keeping yourself afloat until the course is righted again .
Hang in there .
Get sound financial advice if you need it .
Get back to basics .
Use common sense .
If you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , dignity , and kindness .
If you ’ re not working or looking for work , treat those you interact with or contact for opportunities with honesty , dignity , and kindness .
Long-term , your efforts will be rewarded with positive personal growth , however difficult the circumstances may be for you at this time .
You still hold the reigns .
How you respond to approaching security at this time will be setting the stage for the energy you move forward with .
In other words , you can let @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hoard all the TP on your next shopping trip to assuage your insecure feelings ( temporarily ) .
Or , you can be the kind of person who refers a friend in need of work for a position you hear about , share a roll of TP with a neighbor , and take things one day at a time .
Who do you want to be ?
Four Of Swords — More Inactivity or Withdrawal No joke !

Tarot for Coronavirus—This Week ’ s Collective Energy To Guide You Through The COVID-19 Pandemic

We are living through extraordinary times. You may be feeling like you could use some advice right now, beyond how to make a mask out of an old hand towel. Once again, we turn to our wisened old pal, the Tarot. To catch up on previous weeks and see what rings true for you, go here. Below, you’ll find this week’s collective internal and external Tarot report. The select format for these weekly readings includes a three-card-spread for internal and external forces, plus one meditation card I have named “The Curve.” It is my hope that these readings will offer information, inspiration, and/or perspective to help you get through the COVID-19 pandemic. Enjoy!
This Week’s Collective Internal Energy:
King Of Pentacles — Security
There is a strong pull for many of you to think hard about and plan for, financial and physical security right now. It’s not a terribly surprising card to see for the collective, given the circumstances. This tells me that many of you out there are either looking to get stable footing financially or are focusing your efforts on keeping yourself afloat until the course is righted again. Hang in there. Get sound financial advice if you need it. Get back to basics. Use common sense. If you’re working, approach work with honesty, dignity, and kindness. If you’re not working or looking for work, treat those you interact with or contact for opportunities with honesty, dignity, and kindness. Long-term, your efforts will be rewarded with positive personal growth, however difficult the circumstances may be for you at this time. You still hold the reigns. How you respond to approaching security at this time will be setting the stage for the energy you move forward with. In other words, you can let fear get the best of you and hoard all the TP on your next shopping trip to assuage your insecure feelings (temporarily). Or, you can be the kind of person who refers a friend in need of work for a position you hear about, share a roll of TP with a neighbor, and take things one day at a time. Who do you want to be?
Four Of Swords — More Inactivity or Withdrawal
No joke! Most of us will continue to live in a state of lockdown. Those who are able in the collective may as well embrace it. If you’re not an essential worker with a crazy schedule, or taking care of kids and working from home, then please continue to allow yourself to rest and relax. If you are among the super-busy, something may force you to relax also this week. Remember to recharge your own batteries for the sake of your mental and physical health. These are, indeed, strange times, but if you don’t take a respite from time to time, this card warns of burning out or getting ill—essentially life forcing you to take a seat on the sidelines. No one needs that, so just take good care of yourself as much as you possibly can this week, okay?
The Hanged Man — Suspended Animation
Universe, we know already! We’re not going anywhere. Got it. More of that energy this week, though you may be feeling an extra dose of energy and frustration at being unable to move, either physically or metaphorically. Energy-wise, you may feel like your feet are running, but some evil giant has picked you up by the waist so you can’t get anywhere. You may have ideas, ambition, or plans you want or even need to act on, but you can’t. This all amounts to feeling stuck. The opportunity in this card is that this “pause” on your life is allowing you to see things from a completely different point-of-view. You may either have a completely new take on what you enjoy or want to do, or a newfound appreciation or respect for what you used to do and now can’t. That’s not a lot of balm for those itching to get out of lockdown but it’s still an important aspect of all of this disruption. We can see things a whole lot more clearly now, even if everything is upside-down.
This Week’s Collective Energy: External
Queen of Swords — Autonomy & Independence
This week we will continue to see leaders practicing self-reliance. The Queen of Swords style of leadership relies on cool, rational thought and intellect (let’s hope this means trusting health/science experts). In the United States, I think we will continue to see a new blueprint for leadership emerge and it will be coming from independent state and city leaders. This card indicates moving away from an emotional response to a problem and relying on intelligence and informed advice. It may also suggest a strong female leader will be making headlines this week.
Nine of Pentacles —Self-Reliance
If the Queen of Swords had a sister, it would be the Nine of Pentacles. She’s the earthier bohemian poet while the QOS is more intellectual, dispassionate, yet decisive. However, both cards are remarkably similar and appearing back to back. Independence will be the dominating theme this week and it has a strong female energy signature. My sense is that we are learning something important at this time. A kind of “self-mastery,” which means we stop lamenting the fact that we must rely on ourselves and embrace it as true power. To see this collectively will really be something.
King of Swords — Truth & Authority
The King of Swords, much like the Queen of Swords, indicates a focus on intellect, analysis, data, and facts. The King of Swords is not a soft and cozy father figure. He doesn’t care about anyone’s feelings. He will cut straight through the bullshit and get to the truth, whatever it may be. If these three cards prove to be the dominating force this week, we are going to see a big push toward finding and processing factual information. We will see many leaders of all tiers speaking truth to power when needed and setting plans based on data models rather than social or emotional pressure. They may continue working independently together, as well. Interesting week!
The Curve:
In honor of our friend, The Curve, which we are all trying to flatten, here’s your “curve” card this week: meditation inspiration or advice to help you flatten your own curve (i.e., internal obstacle).
The Universe — The World
We are all connected. This experience has succeeded in teaching us this important lesson. The pandemic has not concluded, but the imprint of the lesson on humanity has reached fulfillment. Trust that, however painful, this was and continues to be an important teaching for the human collective.
KJ Parish has been reading tarot cards for strangers for 15 years.

thoughtcatalog--2020-04-20--4 Signs You Maybe Need To Reevaluate And Start All Over Again

No one wants to give up on something that they have been pursuing for years .
No one wants to leave the person they have always envisioned their future with .
No one ever really wants to admit defeat .
But sooner or later , life starts throwing obstacles at you .
These obstacles are not here to hurt us .
They are here to help us grow .
These obstacles are signs that we need to see , to hear , and to experience in order to move forward in our lives .
We need these signs so that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If you are experiencing any of these signs , it might be time for you to take a step back and reevaluate your current situation .
It might be time for you to start all over again .
1 .
You Can ’ t Remember the Last Time You Were Happy .
When was the last time you felt true happiness ?
Do you just wake up and follow your routine , day in and day out ?
Does that make you happy ?
Or are you just doing what you can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you just doing what you can to make it until the end of yet another shift or to the end of yet another date , all while your inner monologue is screaming that something isn ’ t right ?
You deserve to be happy .
If where you are right now does not bring you happiness anymore , it ’ s okay to leave .
It ’ s okay to admit when something or someone just isn ’ t working anymore .
It ’ s okay to put yourself first .
2 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ You .
When you look at photos of yourself , is there any light left behind your eyes ?
Does your soul still ignite when they reach for your hand or when you start on a new project ?
Passion is the fuel we all need to keep going in our lives .
Without it , we start to lose ourselves .
We start to lose sight of all of the things we always dreamed of doing because the major reason we wanted to do them has faded away .
What was once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than a slight flicker , and no matter how hard you try to rekindle it , you just can ’ t create that same fire .
You can not find your original intensity .
That “ aha !
” moment that made you realize that you finally had everything you had ever wanted now seems like nothing more than a distant dream .
Maybe you had that job or that person or whatever it was that you always wanted , and now , they are no longer what you want or need .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to something or someone else .
Maybe this is your time to finally say goodbye so that you can move on and reignite your spark .
Do not let yourself fall back into the shadows when all you have ever wanted is to burn so brightly that you never look back to the darkness of your past .
3 .
You ’ ve Exhausted All of Your Options , and Something Still Doesn ’ t Feel Right .
Listen to your gut .
It knows you better than you think it does .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ name comes up on your phone isn ’ t for nothing .
There is a reason why you two keep breaking up and getting back together , again and again and again .
There is a reason why you are still so uncomfortable at your job .
There is a reason why you cry yourself to sleep at night because work didn ’ t go well again .
You will sometimes get to a point in your life where nothing you are doing seems to be making things right .
You will feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like everyone is disappointed in you .
You will be worried that you will never fall in love again or that you will never find another job or that your current situation will be the best that you will ever have .
But I promise you , this is only the end if you allow it to be .
You can hang on to the things that are hurting you because of your fear that you will never find anything to replace them , or you can let go of what is bringing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You can finally allow yourself to shake off the negativity and the hurt and the anger .
You can finally allow yourself to live the life you have always wanted because you will finally have stopped holding yourself back .
Change is terrifying , but so is staying in a situation that makes you feel worthless .
Allowing yourself to be okay with being treated terribly because you have been made to believe that is what you deserve is not the life that you or anyone else deserves .
You have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , while the other person won ’ t even meet you halfway .
You have been pouring your entire heart and soul into a job that has made it so clear that they do not value you the way you deserve to be valued .
There is no shame in choosing to move on .
There is no shame in finally realizing your own value and wanting to do everything in your power to invest in that .
You never needed this relationship or this job to make you whole .
You have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
You are enough .
And it is okay to finally accept and believe in that fact .
4 .
You Are Mentally and Emotionally Drained .
It is impossible to think that you will ever make it through this life without being tired .
Late nights and stress are inevitable , but what shouldn ’ t be inevitable is a constant feeling of being completely mentally and emotionally drained .
We have all been there .
We have all had that moment where we have no choice but to succumb to our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your office floor or spent your only break of the day crying in the bathroom at work and wishing it would all just go away .
Maybe you worked for weeks to surprise them , only to have them ignore you , once again .
Maybe you have to let them go to bed first so that you can cry and cry again , until it seems like you have nothing left inside of you .
You are exhausted , and this exhaustion is so much deeper than you even realize .
You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t focus throughout your day .
You are always on edge .
You can not fathom one more conference call or silent dinner .
You just can ’ t .
If you are at the point where each day leaves you feeling so drained that you can not even remember what it is like to feel alive , you need to reevaluate your current situation in life .
You need to sit down and really take the time to think through all of the things that are making you feel this way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exhaustion is no way to live your life .
You deserve more than this .
When we have to put so much time and energy into keeping up our “ happy ” facades , we rarely have anything left to give to ourselves .
We have poured everything we have into keeping up appearances and have exhausted ourselves reaching for something that isn ’ t even trying to reach back towards us .
That is not a healthy relationship .
No one person should have to give everything they have to make something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of yourself away , what will you have left to live with ?
Please don ’ t be afraid to start all over again .
Please don ’ t be afraid to stand up for yourself in situations that scare you .
Please don ’ t see reaching out for help as weakness .
The world needs you , and you deserve to live the life you have always wanted .
Do not settle for less when there is so much more out there for you .
You are so much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ There is no shame in admitting that something or someone is not working .
You owe it to yourself to start over if and when you need to .
You owe it to yourself to try again and again and again because this life is not a linear line where all of the answers to everything we need are laid out easily in front of us .
Life is never going to be easy , but there is always going to be a chance for you to grow and live the life you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no rule that says that we are only allowed one dream for our entire lives .
Would each day be so different if we were not allowed to change our minds ?
Don ’ t ignore the signs that appear within your life .
I promise you , they are here for a reason .
And so are you .

No one wants to give up on something that they have been pursuing for years. No one wants to leave the person they have always envisioned their future with. No one ever really wants to admit defeat.
But sooner or later, life starts throwing obstacles at you. These obstacles are not here to hurt us. They are here to help us grow. These obstacles are signs that we need to see, to hear, and to experience in order to move forward in our lives. We need these signs so that we can learn how to truly live.
If you are experiencing any of these signs, it might be time for you to take a step back and reevaluate your current situation. It might be time for you to start all over again.
1. You Can’t Remember the Last Time You Were Happy.
When was the last time you felt true happiness? Do you just wake up and follow your routine, day in and day out? Does that make you happy? Or are you just doing what you can to get through each day? Are you just doing what you can to make it until the end of yet another shift or to the end of yet another date, all while your inner monologue is screaming that something isn’t right?
You deserve to be happy. If where you are right now does not bring you happiness anymore, it’s okay to leave. It’s okay to admit when something or someone just isn’t working anymore. It’s okay to put yourself first.
2. There Is No Spark Left Inside of You.
When you look at photos of yourself, is there any light left behind your eyes? Does your soul still ignite when they reach for your hand or when you start on a new project? Passion is the fuel we all need to keep going in our lives. Without it, we start to lose ourselves. We start to lose sight of all of the things we always dreamed of doing because the major reason we wanted to do them has faded away. What was once a raging flame is now nothing more than a slight flicker, and no matter how hard you try to rekindle it, you just can’t create that same fire. You cannot find your original intensity. That “aha!” moment that made you realize that you finally had everything you had ever wanted now seems like nothing more than a distant dream.
Maybe you had that job or that person or whatever it was that you always wanted, and now, they are no longer what you want or need. Maybe they were there to guide you to something or someone else. Maybe this is your time to finally say goodbye so that you can move on and reignite your spark. Do not let yourself fall back into the shadows when all you have ever wanted is to burn so brightly that you never look back to the darkness of your past.
3. You’ve Exhausted All of Your Options, and Something Still Doesn’t Feel Right.
Listen to your gut. It knows you better than you think it does. That sinking feeling you get when their name comes up on your phone isn’t for nothing. There is a reason why you two keep breaking up and getting back together, again and again and again. There is a reason why you are still so uncomfortable at your job. There is a reason why you cry yourself to sleep at night because work didn’t go well again.
You will sometimes get to a point in your life where nothing you are doing seems to be making things right. You will feel like a failure. You will feel like everyone is disappointed in you. You will be worried that you will never fall in love again or that you will never find another job or that your current situation will be the best that you will ever have. But I promise you, this is only the end if you allow it to be. You can hang on to the things that are hurting you because of your fear that you will never find anything to replace them, or you can let go of what is bringing you down and finally let yourself breathe. You can finally allow yourself to shake off the negativity and the hurt and the anger. You can finally allow yourself to live the life you have always wanted because you will finally have stopped holding yourself back.
Change is terrifying, but so is staying in a situation that makes you feel worthless. Allowing yourself to be okay with being treated terribly because you have been made to believe that is what you deserve is not the life that you or anyone else deserves.
You have been tirelessly working to mend your broken relationship, while the other person won’t even meet you halfway. You have been pouring your entire heart and soul into a job that has made it so clear that they do not value you the way you deserve to be valued.
There is no shame in choosing to move on. There is no shame in finally realizing your own value and wanting to do everything in your power to invest in that. You never needed this relationship or this job to make you whole. You have always been everything you have ever needed. You are enough. And it is okay to finally accept and believe in that fact.
4. You Are Mentally and Emotionally Drained.
It is impossible to think that you will ever make it through this life without being tired. Late nights and stress are inevitable, but what shouldn’t be inevitable is a constant feeling of being completely mentally and emotionally drained.
We have all been there. We have all had that moment where we have no choice but to succumb to our breakdowns. Maybe you have cried on your office floor or spent your only break of the day crying in the bathroom at work and wishing it would all just go away. Maybe you worked for weeks to surprise them, only to have them ignore you, once again. Maybe you have to let them go to bed first so that you can cry and cry again, until it seems like you have nothing left inside of you. You are exhausted, and this exhaustion is so much deeper than you even realize.
You are not sleeping well. You can’t focus throughout your day. You are always on edge. You cannot fathom one more conference call or silent dinner. You just can’t.
If you are at the point where each day leaves you feeling so drained that you cannot even remember what it is like to feel alive, you need to reevaluate your current situation in life. You need to sit down and really take the time to think through all of the things that are making you feel this way. This sort of mental and emotional exhaustion is no way to live your life. You deserve more than this. When we have to put so much time and energy into keeping up our “happy” facades, we rarely have anything left to give to ourselves. We have poured everything we have into keeping up appearances and have exhausted ourselves reaching for something that isn’t even trying to reach back towards us. That is not a healthy relationship. No one person should have to give everything they have to make something work.
If you have given every part of yourself away, what will you have left to live with?
Please don’t be afraid to start all over again. Please don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself in situations that scare you. Please don’t see reaching out for help as weakness. The world needs you, and you deserve to live the life you have always wanted.
Do not settle for less when there is so much more out there for you. You are so much more than what you see yourself as. There is no shame in admitting that something or someone is not working. You owe it to yourself to start over if and when you need to.
You owe it to yourself to try again and again and again because this life is not a linear line where all of the answers to everything we need are laid out easily in front of us. Life is never going to be easy, but there is always going to be a chance for you to grow and live the life you have always dreamed of.
There is no rule that says that we are only allowed one dream for our entire lives. Would each day be so different if we were not allowed to change our minds?
Don’t ignore the signs that appear within your life. I promise you, they are here for a reason.
And so are you.

You’re the one who makes everyone around you feel better when they’re going through something, not the one who brings up their own problems and asks for help getting through the shitstorm.
But you have to remember, your friendships aren’t a one-way street. Your friends aren’t going to be upset if you try to talk to them about how you’re feeling. They aren’t going to judge you.

You might feel like opening up about your struggles will make you come across as selfish or greedy or insensitive, so you keep your mouth closed.
But you have to remember, you are allowed to feel the way you feel. You shouldn’t punish yourself over your own emotions.

You shouldn’t convince yourself you aren’t allowed to be upset, because you are. You don’t want to make your mental health worse by refusing to talk about how you feel. You don’t want to hurt yourself more by trying to do the right thing.
