Rune of the Day: Kenaz Reversed

Sometimes we just don't want to hear what others have to say, we've made up our minds and nothing is going to change them.  Usually this attitude backfires on us in the long run, so try to keep an open mind today, even if you're not in the mood.  Listen to others' opinions and thoughts, put them aside and come back to them later, but don't totally discount them.  It's often ignorance and stubbornness that lead to our worst decisions.  

Tarot Card of the Day: 8 of Pentacles Reversed 

Trying to skate through life today is probably going to backfire on you.  There are things you must do, and things you must learn, and if you've been trying to fake it, today is the day you will be found out.  Flattery and manipulation can only get you so far, and today, they will not get you anywhere.   Best to just do as much as you can to catch up to where you should be. 

The Two Together

Kenaz and the 8 of Pentacles both reversed are telling us in no uncertain terms that we need to adjust our attitude.  We need to listen to what others are, and probably have been, telling us.  This is a time to accept that we don't always know best and that it is sometimes necessary to listen to others who know more than we do.  Eating some humble pie probably wouldn't hurt the situation either.
