The art of card reading/Sagie Mendelboim
The cards are gifts in our lives.
They give us direction, strengthen us, challenge us to an extent, support us along the way and give us real light.
Light of wisdom and energy.
Each card has its own unique light.
In light of the challenging times and in an attempt to strengthen us all, even a little, I will teach you one of the layouts that I use the most in the 30 years that I have been teaching - the SS layout.
What is the OSS layout?
This layout as it is - should give us a little immediate help right now, when we are facing a conflict and want to know what to do and how to respond.
It can be used by us when we want to choose an action regarding relationships, work, personal development, family and any other topic, but this time we will use it to get a direction for our week, a strengthening, uplifting and grounding message.
How does the layout work?
Simple:
we have a central card - it is our main direction or message, and we have two side cards that can support or block the overall message.
This way we will know what helps us realize the message and what makes it difficult for us - and we can conduct ourselves accordingly and navigate our way, use resources and show awareness in the face of barriers.
In addition, I will briefly tell you about each card that comes out in the layout, so that we get to know it better, and over time you can start experimenting yourself and enjoying the openness of the cards.
Maybe even today.
So, what is the layout that came out for you, Walla readers, for strengthening and empowerment this week?
The cards received are: ten of swords in the center, five of cups and nine of clubs.
What does that actually mean?
Tarot: Ten of Swords card/set Woah!, Woah
What is the direction or message for this week?
The Ten of Swords card consists of the element of swords which is linked to our intellect, sharpness of thought and action and composure.
The number ten is associated with maintaining a state of perfection and preparing for the next level.
So we are in a phase of recovery this week and that is an excellent sign.
The sun is starting to shine (also in the card drawing), we went through a difficult saga but we are starting to "get out of it".
So, the main message is not to go back.
Yes, precisely during the rehabilitation phase there is quite a chance that we will fall back to a less suitable and benevolent place, perhaps we will invest in the wrong people or resources, and we need to know ourselves well enough to understand what the temptations are on the way.
And if we don't know ourselves well enough?
Do you know the expression even a speeding train looks like the light at the end of the tunnel?
When we don't differentiate between an idea that will save us from our situation and one that will make us feel sad, it is very useful to be helped by the environment, consult and gain perspective.
Feel "unpleasant" to consult?
Think about the fact that every king has advisers, so we should also consult.
So yes, now is the time to recover little by little, don't get into adventures, don't jump over the navel, avoid overly eager suitors and maxes who pop up and offer "the dream" - and any tempting offer that seems too good to be true.
Surround yourself with those who understand what you are going through and go at your pace.
At work:
don't fall for tempting offers or unsafe business investments.
Don't burden yourself too much, and make healthy decisions about the work framework and its conditions.
In a relationship:
If you've been through a crisis, it's time to start a new page but don't go back.
If you were able to reach agreements, continue to build the relationship.
If you were in a toxic and irreparable relationship, you must move on and not look back.
With friends and family:
Let others help you in times of need and agree to ask for what you need at this time.
Don't be shy or pretend to be strong.
There is no need.
You should consult before making big decisions.
Never put a healthy head into a sick bed again.
Others will help notice this.

A blocking/supporting card - what helps/hinders me on the way to my goal?
Five of Cups
This card consists of the element of cups which deals with abundance and the number five which deals with the need for proper communication.
The card reminds us that we may have resources that slip out of sight and we are subject to unjustified despair.
And in simple words - our problems have solutions out there, and maybe things are not as bad as we think.
If we have lost touch with a friend, there are more friends and connections around us, if it is necessary to change jobs, we still have resources available and a lot to offer for the next job.
And in short - we must maintain optimism, and see what does work, where there is hope, and what is available to us for help and efficiency.

Nine of Wands
Nine of Wands consists of the number nine which represents completeness of a process (without preserving its results - as in the number ten) as well as the element of the staff which deals with fire, desire, desire and drive.
Nine of clubs is a card that inspires us to say to ourselves "one more effort is enough".
Since it is a bit of a dual card in the context of this layout, it can be both positive and negative, so let's examine it: in the negative sense, we may have an urge to make one last "one more effort" and give a chance to a situation that is not right for us - to X, to the wrong person in our lives And so on.
So we should try to avoid it.
In a positive sense, the "last and enough chance" is a chance for ourselves, to get out of the difficult situation, to give another push, to hold another day in the rehabilitation project we took.
Career-related rehabilitation can be manifested in another job interview worth going to, in another effort to look for a new career, the restoration of mental feeling can be in another day of positive affirmations or inner work.
And so on.
