3 of Cups(11)

Here is that break you were looking for yesterday when you were being hit with all of the hard work involved with the 10 of Wands.

The key themes here are healing and renewal through participating in social rituals. When is the last time you saw the people who you think of as your crew? If it has been a while, it might be time to extend yourself and make a date with a few friends. It’s time to put any worries aside and have some fun. Remember that laughter is good for what ails you!

Here are a few ideas:

  • Host a card game
  • Organize a night to go dancing
  • Go see some music
  • Play croquet in the park

How do you relax with friends? Do you have a regular ‘evening with ladies’ or ‘night out with the boys’? How important are these social experiences for your own healing and renewal?  Maybe you can share some of your own ideas and experiences in the comments!

Yup, this is it! You have reached your limit. DO NOT take on any more responsibilities/chores/work/favors at this time. If anything, take more time to work on creating clear boundaries and INSIST on maintaining a self-care regime (we all need time to eat well, sleep, and exercise – don’t forget to brush your teeth).

Energetically, you have reached capacity; you are not even sure you have what it takes to carry your own weight, let alone the weight of other people. This card is about feeling burdened with responsibility and hard work. How do you lighten the load? Unfortunately, sometimes this just isn’t an option. In a situation such as this, you have to take things day-to-day. The road ahead is long, and there could be some snags along the way, but eventually, there will be an end in sight. Just do your best to get through today – I promise, life  WILL become easier!

For now, if you see an opportunity to rest, you should take a load off, and if someone offers to help you, you should say yes! Don’t shoulder the burden alone, if you don’t have to.
