The Tarot reading from February 7 through February 13, 2015 warns that you may be playing a dangerous game. Ups and downs are inevitable. You may have to decide if the ends truly justify the means.
Card 1: The Devil—You may feel that you need something desperately and you may be willing to do anything, even something you know is wrong, to attain your goals. But this is a risky thing and it may or may not pay off in the end. Either way, outright deception is going to backfire.
Card 2: Six of Wands—Conditions favor victory, but that doesn't mean success will come easily. You're more likely to get what you want if you truly desire it and are willing to go after it. Short-term victories can turn into long-term victories if you're willing to share your success with those who have been instrumental in helping you achieve your goals.
Card 3: Queen of Wands—A lack of inspiration can really get in the way right now, but you'll need more than inspiration to make any progress. Hard work combined with inspiration is definitely the way to go, but this combination may be difficult to come by. Focus and get moving.
Card 4: Four of Wands—If you want to be successful, you have to be ready to commit for the long term. Finish what you start and make sure you celebrate your successes with those closest to you. Supporting others is important to attaining their support in your own ventures, so reach out.
Card 5: The High Priestess—Things may have been chaotic lately, or perhaps it's just seemed as if you had absolutely no control over what the Fates were up to. This is coming to and end now, allowing you to seize control over the immediate future. And while this is a good thing, don't forget the lessons learned.
Card 6: Five of Wands—A competitive atmosphere is a good thing, but compete with some respect and you'll find everything goes just a little smoother. Don't fight just for the sake of fighting. There will come a time when you'll need that energy.
Card 7: The Star—Relaxation and healing are about to become quite important. Though you'll have to work hard for what you want, you'll also need to know the value of rest. Be prepared to take a break if things become overwhelming.
Card 8: Four of Swords—You'll need more than a break from stress if you want to attain your goal. You'll have to actually find a quiet space to reflect and consider the situation. Don't be rushed into anything and don't let anyone talk you into something that's not in your best interest.
Card 9: The Tower—Some may see you as wild, dangerous, and willing to risk anything for what you want. There is some truth to this, especially because this is a time to be unafraid of change. There might be some who accuse you of trying to destroy the status quo. Ignore them.
Card 10: Knight of Wands—You are truly hoping to achieve your goals, but you fear the drastic changes you'll have to make to accomplish them. You have two choices. You can conquer this fear and move forward or you can abandon your plans. Choose one and commit.
Card 11: Queen of Cups—Whether you achieved your goal or not has been highly dependent upon your own choices. Either way, compassion right now is important. Compassion for those you may have hurt on the way here. Compassion for yourself as you let your high ideals go. The ups and downs of this journey may not have given you want you want, but there's still a lesson to be learned.
