Mystic Pull Tarot

Deck: Mystic Cats

This weekend’s cards all came up reversed. We’re facing internal matters and working behind the scenes, not uncommon for waning into the new moon.

We are seeing two opposing pillars of power in this spread with The Emperor Reversed on one end, and the Queen of Cups Reversed at the other. Situated between them is the Seven of Swords Reversed, representing an unfair fight and a reckoning.

The Emperor Reversed: There’s a lack of true leadership at the moment. The vacuum is filled with a domineering, authoritarian presence with no concern for law and order. Things we care about are being steamrolled, trampled, and twisted beyond recognition in service to the whims of a tyrant.

Queen of Cups Reversed: Normally compassionate and loving, this queen has been pushed too far. The cup is empty, and unprocessed feelings are coming out sideways. Mood swings, anger, tears, fear. There are battles raging within and without. Now is the time to come to terms with the tornado of feelings and direct your care and attention inward. “Self care” in this case calls for giving yourself a hug, don’t be so hard on yourself for not keeping it all together. Process each feeling and its roots. 

Seven of Swords Reversed: The fight is everywhere with attacks on every front. It’s an unfair fight with dirty tricks, deceit, hidden agendas, and violence. The swords of this card are either neutral or pointed down in a resting position. The fight continues, but you need this moment of reprieve to collect yourself and reevaluate how to move forward in a way that honors your values and protects your emotional well-being. Everyone has their own line in the sand and only you can say what and where that is. Either way, we’re in it for the long haul, y’all.
