Very often retrograde season, especially the portion which includes a Mercury retrograde, can cause you to feel as though you are going backward or losing ground. Maintaining a defensive stance, and refusing to back down, is in your best interest. There are times when life can feel a bit like a game of Tug-of-War, and digging in, refusing to give an inch matters. As you begin this week, it is possible you have already taken a position to ensure you do not lose any ground. Continue to do so, knowing Mercury does not go direct until the 11th. 

The 7 of Wands is a card of either you are with me or against me, feeling backed into a corner, taking a defensive position, refusing to give an inch. Should you be looking for inspiration, hum a few bars of the 1989 classic ‘I Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. For earliest possible access to my Tarot Card of the Day, download the free PodBean app from your AppStore, or follow me across your favorite podcast platforms.
