SEPTEMBER TAROT WELLNESSCOPES
Virgo-- Two of Swords Rx
Virgo, what’s blocking you this month? Indecision and ignoring your intuition are two ways to cause a stalemate. This month, pay attention to your decision making and choices. WHY are you making certain choices and how are they moving you closer to your goals? Don’t get caught up in your doubts or fears, leaving you frozen, instead, trust your gut to help you move forward. It is ok to pause and recenter before making your choice, but don’t let it keep you stuck.

The King of Swords is the master of communication, intellect and boundaries. He can easily and sometimes firmly communicate his thoughts. He has mastered his mind to work for him, not against him.
