Swift Focus Will Master Sorrow & Conflict

Today is Friday the 13th and all the cards in the spread today are minor and upright. So, nothing is hidden and concerns will be mundane. The 3 of Pentacles represents the mastery of work, craftsmanship, skills and excellence. The 3 of Swords symbolizes the pain of the heart, sorrow, emotional loss, anguish and suffering. And, the 8 of Wands is swift action, taking flight, a journey, forward motion and acceleration. But, remember, haste can make waste. True skills take time to master and craftsmanship can be a slow process.

Today, I see hasty action in a trade or commission of work causing suffering or losses. Be aware that painful conflicts may swiftly emerge from your pursuit of excellence at work. There could also be a flight or hasty action caused by loss and sorrowing over work choices today. Maybe you didn’t get the commission you expected or someone else got the assignment or promotion you wanted. On the other hand, there might be a sudden need to travel for work today that upsets your personal plans. I would caution you to use the energy of this combination to your advantage today by putting your plans into motion and focusing on creativity to master heartbreak or conflicts.
