Rune of the Day: Tir Reversed

Its easy to get so caught up in the idea of where you want to end up that you don't notice, or deliberately ignore, some of how you're getting there.  It's easy to feel that your life will be better once a certain thing happens, but if you have to hurt people to get that to happen-its not really worth it.

 

Tarot Card of the Day: 5 of Swords Reversed

It is almost always possible to win the battle but lose the war.  Be sure that what you are fighting and sacrificing for is worth the cost you are paying.  Many things in life can't be regained once they've been given up.

The Two Together

Tir and the 5 of Swords reversed are both warning us to be careful of how we reach our goals.  Doing things that hurt others, or that cause us to lower ourselves just to reach a goal: well, that goal is usually not worth reaching.  Often victories don't feel very good when you've debased yourself or others to reach them.

 

Blessings!
