We’re coming up to our first anniversary in quarantine life. One year! Wow. Thinking about that, the word that came up for me was the word duality. Duality is a situation in which two opposite ideas or feelings exist at the same time. Maybe, it’s time to change your perspective?

Innovative Ways, Simpler Mindset

This year has been a duality. It’s been one of confinement and liberation, freedom, and captivity, finding new, innovative, and inventive ways to live and work while returning to simpler mindsets. You cook at home, dress down, wear little to no makeup, and care more about what matters most – health, safety, family, community, connection, peace. 

You’re both tied down and set free. If you’re feeling stuck, anchored down, without options, AND realizing the possibilities, opportunities, and choices all around you… you’re right on time. Read on; this message is for you.

The Eight of Swords

The Eight of Swords carries mixed meanings. It can be a tricky card and be easy to misinterpret. But as a card that doesn’t quickly go unnoticed, it’s a sign to pay attention to what’s going on around you.

In tarot, eight’s are movement, expansion, prioritizing, and re-evaluation. The suit of Swords is the intellect, our thought processes, and how we communicate. Sometimes the card’s appearance may not be met with enthusiasm, but the message is essential.

Eight of Swords is a bind you find yourself in but choose not to break free. Decisions seem challenging to make. You may feel a bit trapped within a loop – unable to use your inner logic to get out. A new perspective would be so helpful right now.

The Eight of Swords can indicate a situation where it appears you have no choice. You may feel lost or lacking support. Solutions may not come easily, but they do exist.

The Eight of Swords can be a warning against inaction. It’s a call for strength, endurance, and persistence.

Sometimes, your actions can resolve certain situations; sometimes, they can’t. Or can they?

Don’t be discouraged; change your perspective. Know this: You always have a choice. You have the power. There is a way out of here.

Only You Can Set Yourself Free

It’s time, to be honest with yourself and face the hard truths. Step out of your (dis)comfort zone. With clear thoughts, intention and purpose, take that first step toward home. Only you can set yourself free.

One year ago, I was hard at work, completing all of my coaching certification requirements. I was learning, growing, and working hard to get it right. I felt uncomfortable ALL THE TIME. And even though it was challenging, I pushed on—the experience of intentionally volunteering myself to be in difficult coaching conversations paid off. News of my certification confirmed the lesson. I can do hard things and emerge a stronger person. The hard work was worth it. So now, I’m using these valuable skills to support coaching and tarot clients on their journey. My message: You can do hard things too.  

Things to ask yourself:

• What do I refuse to see?
• Do I know what options are available to me?
• An action that I can take right now is _____.
• My biggest strengths are _____.
• What have I learned? 

Change Your Perspective and Things Change

As you move into the beginning of your second year in quarantine, how can you approach your situation through more experienced, expansive eyes? I’m offering up the idea that you find the duality and change your perspective.

If you’re feeling restricted, try seeing your situation as limited or temporary. Take a closer look and determine what options are available to you.

If you’re feeling confused, look for direction. Ask for assistance or guidance to clarify your circumstances. Pause—give yourself a minute to understand what’s happening before you act. Or, realize you don’t have all of the information needed and wait.

If you’re feeling powerless, take responsibility. Find something—anything—where you can take action today, and do it.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
