`As you think, so shall you become'
For this Week Ahead, I decided to pick a topic from my Tarot deck. The card that I happened to pull out of my deck was the Knight of Swords which provided me the insight that it’s important to take charge of one’s thought process. What we think, and how we communicate our thoughts determines the kind of energies we send out into the universe. Why is this important? Because we attract the same energies back. Say something loving, and nature will reciprocate with love. As you think, so shall you become. Even before you express your thoughts through words, remember that words carry a lot of weight. Just like `look before you leap’ is important, so also is `think before you speak’.
This week’s Tarot readings for the three decans in every Sun sign focuses on how you can communicate better and what will help bring clarity of thought.
