Welcome to another one of my Tarot Tuesday posts! I started doing these free readings monthly back in November 2015, then switched to every week almost a year later in September 2016. They’re by far my most popular posts, as well as being one of my favorites to put together. Today’s reading is for the week of June 8th 2021.

It’s been a minute since I’ve talked about the @hivechat thing that happens every Tuesday on Twitter (and Thursdays for our Hispanic Hive Twitter community), but since I’m hosting again today, I thought I’d give it a brief mention. It starts at 10am EST/14.00 GMT and all you need to do is watch my Twitter profile for the 5 questions I’ll be tweeting out every ten minutes with the #HiveChat tag. Then feel free to jump in with either with your answers, or just chat in general (while yes, the conversation is Hive-centric, everyone is welcome to join in the fun!). I’ll doing something different this time, as I’ve “crowdsourced” the questions from other Hive community members, so it should be an interesting mix. And if you already follow me on Twitter, apologies in advance for all the blockchain blogging chatter that will be retweeted during that hour!

Now, as for the reading – the setup of how I do these was not my original idea. I was actually inspired by how a few other bloggers were doing their readings back years ago. And since this method is a little bit different than how some other readers on other social media do them (usually posting the card backs first, then the messages at a later time), here’s a quick breakdown on how this works…

First, pick a card you are drawn to from the photo below. If more than one speaks to you, go ahead and pick that one too. You can even pick all three, in whatever order you like!

When you’ve decided on your card (or cards), scroll down to the bottom of the page for the photo revealing the card faces, and your message for the upcoming week.

Also, don’t be worried if you don’t happen to see this exactly on Tuesday. The message will be ready and waiting for you whenever you get here. 😊

I would also like to mention…

Now here are the backs of the cards for this week. Take a moment to clear your mind, inhale and exhale deeply, center yourself – whatever you need to do to focus. When you’re ready, take a look at the photo and then decide which one (or ones) speaks to you. Then scroll down to the bottom of the post for the picture of the front of the cards, and your message.

Next up, as a bit of insurance policy to make sure you don’t see the picture of the front of the cards before you’ve made your choice, I’m putting some of my infographics here as a type of spacer/spoiler prevention. Since the New/Dark Moon in Gemini (and a Solar Eclipse) happens on Thursday June 10th, I thought I share a couple of my infographics I’ve created over the years.

Now it’s time for the big reveal! Here are the fronts of the cards…

…and the messages for each card are…

1. Seven of Wands

Never give up, never surrender. You’ve been fighting the good fight, and thought you were almost there. Now, all of a sudden, you feel like you’re being attacked on all sides. Don’t despair – keep on keeping on, and you will soon find victory at hand. Try to bear in mind that people are probably giving you such a hard time because they want what you have (financially or creatively). Jealousy tends to bring out the worst in people. Oh, and yes – “Never give up, never surrender” is a quote from, “Galaxy Quest.” *grin*

Tarot Tidbit: The Seven of Wands was last spotted, in the first position, back at the beginning of the year on January 5th, 2021.

2. Page of Pentacles

Light bulb moment. You’ve had a sudden inspiration or revelation, and now you’re eager to put things in motion. Go for it! This is a great time to work on manifesting those dreams. Pay close attention to what the Page is doing in this card, though – instead of racing forward, take careful, measured steps, and remember to keep your eyes on the prize and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Set goals, learn the necessary skills, and let common sense be your guide. Slow and steady wins the race!

Tarot Tidbit: The Page of Pentacles is another card that doesn’t show up all that often for Tarot Tuesdays – this is only the 8th time it’s made an appearance since it first appeared in November 2016! The previous time was at the end of last year (also in the second position) on December 29th, 2020.

3. King of Cups

Calm, cool, collected. There’s been a great deal of drama in your life as of late, and the King is here to remind you that you can have emotions, but you are in control of them, not the other way around. See how he manages to keep his cup steady, even in the stormiest seas? He’s mastered the art of expressing feelings in a calm and mature manner. The logical mind and the intuitive heart can work together successfully, if you practice enough. And keep in mind, like Incubus says in Drive, “…lately I am beginning to find/That I should be the one behind the wheel.”

Tarot Tidbit: This is only the 5th time the King of Cups has made an appearance on a Tarot Tuesday. The most recent time was back towards the end of last year, when it was in the second position, on December 1st, 2020.
