1. Feeling Stuck in Old Patterns

Cycles are a constant, especially with the Wheel of Fortune as one of your Tarot birth cards!

With the propensity for expansion, it’s easy to take on new commitments whilst not finishing the old. This can indicate a problem with saying no and setting boundaries so that you are not overwhelming yourself and adding unnecessary pressure. With a natural ability to succeed, you can have high hopes, especially with the influence of The Sun, however sometimes to do something well, you have to say no to the activities that are draining and focus on the activities that give you joy.

3. Fear of Success

With a natural ability to shine, sometimes you draw the wrong type of attention, casting shadows on jealousy, doubt, and judgement from watchful eyes that may not have your best interests at heart. You’ll do no one any good if you dim your light to appease others. In this lifetime, it’s important to embrace your light and shine as bright as you want to! Part of that is developing unshakeable self-confidence through trials and errors presented by the Wheel of Fortune.
