Pick a Card: What you don’t see coming

Written By Sky McKenna

Choose the symbol you feel drawn to and uncover the events unfolding just beyond your awareness.

Choose 1 or 2 of the symbols you feel drawn to…

Pile 1 - Tree and moon

Message:
You may not receive the outcome you were hoping for, but this is a redirection toward something better.

Key Cards:

  • 9 of Pentacles → a reminder of your independence, self-sufficiency, and ability to thrive on your own.

  • Justice → balance and fairness are on your side; in the long run, what is meant for you will come.

Takeaway:
Trust that even if things don’t unfold as expected, you already have everything you need within yourself. Justice is working in your favor, and the path ahead will bring you something more aligned.

 

Pile 2 - Tree And Snake

Message:

This reading carries a heavier energy — one of endings, honesty, and release. You (or someone close to you) may be ready to start over by facing truths that were once hidden.

Key Cards:

  • 7 of Swords (Reversed) → a willingness to let down defenses and acknowledge past dishonesty or harmful patterns.

  • 8 of Cups → the courage to walk away and move forward, even when it means leaving behind what was once familiar.

Takeaway:
This spread suggests a surrender of the heart — a readiness to move on from what no longer serves you and to approach love, truth, and connection in new, possibly less traditional ways. It’s an invitation to release the weight of the past and step into something more authentic.

 

Pile 3 - Lion

Message:
You may be placing heavy expectations on yourself and feeling trapped in your own thoughts. Spirit reminds you not to let overthinking cloud the opportunities ahead.

Key Cards:

  • 4 of Cups → an offer or situation that doesn’t feel right, possibly leading to rejection or disinterest.

  • Ace of Swords → clarity, truth, and a fresh intellectual spark waiting to guide you forward.

Takeaway:
This reading encourages you to notice where your expectations may be creating mental blocks. Even if you’re tempted to say no or dwell in doubt, the Ace of Swords shines through with a new idea, insight, or breakthrough. Follow that spark — it carries the promise of a positive outcome.

 

Pile 4 - Mask

Message:
This spread suggests an intense pull toward someone, but it’s tangled with fear and overthinking. Desire and anxiety are at odds, creating a push-pull dynamic within the heart.

Key Cards:

  • The Lovers → attraction, connection, and the possibility of romance or a meaningful choice in love.

  • 9 of Swords → worry, sleepless nights, and unhealthy patterns of overthinking.

Takeaway:
The energy here points to a crush or strong feelings that may be consuming more mental space than is healthy. While there is potential for connection, Spirit encourages you to step back, quiet the anxious thoughts, and approach the situation with clarity rather than fear. Love should uplift, not drain — don’t let worry overshadow what could be.
