I haven’t been sleeping well lately. May was a heavy month, emotionally, mentally, energetically. So with the first day of June here, I decided to pull a few cards and ask:
“What is my subconscious struggling with?”
I used my Everyday Witch deck, and three jumpers flew out right away:
King of Cups, Eight of Wands, and Judgement.
King of Cups
This felt like a direct reflection of how I’ve been functioning, trying to stay calm and centered while emotions swirl underneath. I’ve been the one holding space for others for so long, it’s like my own feelings are quietly drowning under the surface.
It made me realize… maybe I’ve been over-managing my emotions, instead of truly feeling them.
Eight of Wands
Fast, intense, and overwhelming. Yep, that’s how May felt. Like everything hit me at once, and I couldn’t catch a breath. My nervous system’s still playing catch-up, which explains the tension, the restless nights, the feeling of being “on” even when I’m exhausted.
Judgement
This one gave me chills. It’s that soul-level wake-up card. I’ve been re-evaluating a lot lately, especially around relationships and how I show up for people. I’ve had to look at some painful truths and let go of old versions of myself that were built around people-pleasing and over-giving. It’s time to forgive myself and start fresh.
After that, I asked a follow-up:
“What do I need to focus on healing right now?”
Four cards came out this time:
Two of Swords, Two of Wands, Ace of Swords & Seven of Pentacles (together).
Two of Swords
There’s some serious inner conflict I’ve been avoiding, doubting myself, second-guessing decisions, questioning if I was wrong about people. This card reminded me: I don’t have to have all the answers right now. I just need to stop fighting myself.
Two of Wands
It’s like I’m standing at a threshold, wanting to move forward but afraid of doing it alone. I’m being called to step into the unknown and trust that what’s ahead is better aligned, even if it feels uncertain right now.
Ace of Swords + Seven of Pentacles
These two cards together were powerful. The Ace is clarity, truth, a cutting away of illusion. The Seven is patience, the slow and steady kind. I need to stop rushing the healing, stop trying to solve the discomfort. Truth takes time to grow roots. And so do I.
Final Thoughts
This reading didn’t give me some magical fix or future prediction. It gave me permission, to rest, to process, to be honest with myself, and to stop holding everything in.
I don’t have to do it all. I don’t have to fix it all right now.
And I don’t have to carry anyone else’s weight while I figure it out.
