tarot – Inner Spark https://innersparklife.com Inner Spark Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:22:26 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1 Tarot card of the week: 4 of Swords https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-4-of-swords/ Mon, 31 Aug 2026 11:22:26 +0000 https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-4-of-swords/ Four men of the desert rest in an oasis. They have placed their swords in the center, while their camels wait in the background.

This card represents the moment when we put down our swords, the struggle, the disputes, the inner conflict or the conflict with others, and sit down to contemplate everything from a wider perspective.

It is the rest in the middle of the odyssey. That is what the oasis represents. You haven't reached your destination yet, but it is time to take a break and reconsider.

The symbol on the blanket is the symbol of Jupiter, higher vision.

We often get lost in our clashes with life, with others and with ourselves. And we lose the bigger perspective of what is actually happening.

For example

I don't like my job…. and I focus on that unpleasant aspect…. and I forget that I am doing it out of love for my family, or because I have a plan and in 2 years I will be flying out of here.

This conflict with my partner bothers me and I suffer…… And I forget that what I am experiencing is the dynamic of my family that I still carry within me, and that this is the path to healing it.

I want to solve a problem in my life in 2 days and I get frustrated when I can't…… because I have overlooked the fact that this problem connects with a deep karmic aspect of my path, and expecting to close the chapter in 2 days is simply not realistic. I need a path and I need time for this.

These are examples of how we get lost in what is immediate, and lose our energy and our creative mind.

So we need to stop and put down the swords. Contemplate. Look from a distance. Integrate new KNOWLEDGE and TEACHINGS that help me see the whole movie from another angle, from higher up.

Wherever you are today, it is part of a bigger journey. Remembering that journey is key to discerning and making the next move.

This week is about stopping, putting down the struggle and the mental effort, and setting the intention to see the macro.

Where are you going?

Who are you?

How does this situation connect with your intention?

Is what is happening REALLY as important as it seems? Or is it actually something that will pass and won't carry that much weight in your path?

Many of you tell me that you want to change your life, that there are things you don't like, but they are still there.

The first step is not to get on a bus to Zihuatanejo.

The first step is to understand what is happening from another perspective. That is where all transformation begins.

Free your perception. Allow yourself to look at things differently and, I guarantee you, everything will begin to change.

This week, leave your sword in the center and come sit by the fire.

The stars will tell us the story of what we have truly come into this world to do, and how our path is helping us get there.

See you by the fire,
Teiwaz

Tarot Card of the Week: Justice https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-justice/ Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:35:43 +0000 https://innersparklife.com/?p=23022 We begin a new season, a new year of work… and the first card that comes to meet us is Justice.

The Goddess of Justice looks directly into your eyes. From her descends a light that illuminates everything. In front of her is the scale, balancing the positive and the negative, the masculine and the feminine. Above her appear the Sun and the Moon… and behind her, the spirit of the eagle watches from the sky.

Welcome to the week of Justice.

A week that invites us on a journey to clean our vision and find clarity.

And the first question she asks us is:

Are you really seeing the truth of what is happening in your life?

What is actually happening.

Seeing the Truth of What Is Happening

Many times we enter situations of confusion and stagnation not because there are no solutions, but because we do not want to see the real problem.

We cover it up, justify it, avoid it. We distort the vision we have of ourselves, of the world or of others so that we do not have to step into the mud and recognize what is really happening.

This happens a lot in relationships.

You have probably heard someone say:

“I have just realized that I don’t know who my partner is.”

Or:

“I didn’t know who my partner really was.”

But many times the signs had been there for a very long time.

We simply justify all of them because we want to maintain a certain perception of that person, because we want to believe they are the ideal person, because we do not want to argue, because we do not want to face the problem, or because recognizing the truth would force us to do something about it.

And many times confusion appears precisely because of this.

Because we deny the truth.

Because we do not want to look at it and deal with what is really happening.

So the first call of Justice is very simple:

Look. Look at what is there. Look at what is really happening in your life.

Responsibility

And from there comes the second great teaching of Justice:

Responsibility.

There is a beautiful line from A Course in Miracles that says:

“Every thought produces form at some level.”

I love it because it reminds us of something we constantly forget.

What we think, what we feel, what we say, what we do… and also what we do not do… creates consequences.

All of it is an expression.

It is like a song, a melody that we are constantly playing in the world.

And then that music brings things.

It brings people, situations, experiences, opportunities, conflicts.

And many times, when something happens, we say:

“Bad luck.”

“What a coincidence.”

“It was an accident.”

But Justice takes us directly to cause and effect.

What comes into our life is connected to the music we are playing.

Always.

What we think, what we do, what we tolerate, what we avoid, what we repeat, what we choose and what we leave unchosen sets causes in motion.

And those causes produce effects.

So the next question Justice asks is:

Are you understanding that what happens in your life is connected to the way you live?

What Is the Real Cause?

And here comes another important part.

It is not enough to know that cause and effect exist.

We have to understand what the real cause actually is.

Because very often we get that completely wrong.

Imagine you have a car and you want to avoid accidents or prevent it from breaking down.

So you spend your time cleaning the seats, vacuuming the floor, cleaning the dashboard and making it look beautiful.

And you think: now it’s fine.

But if you want the car to work properly, you need to look at the engine, the oil, the tyres, the brakes…

There are other rules governing the car.

And we do exactly the same thing with our lives.

We want to feel full of vitality, joy and motivation… but we do not see the connection between how we feel and the fact that we have spent years postponing our dreams or what we truly want to do.

We want a different relationship… but we keep acting from the same patterns.

We want something to change… but we keep feeding exactly the same causes.

Cause and effect.

So the question becomes a little deeper:

What is the real cause of what you are experiencing right now?

The Eagle’s Perspective

This is also where the spirit of the eagle comes in.

The ability to rise a little higher and look at our life with perspective.

To see the connections.

To see how one decision led to another. How a way of living created a certain consequence. How what we are doing today is building what we will experience tomorrow.

Decision

And finally we come to the last call of Justice.

Decision.

Because if you can see the truth, if you can recognize your responsibility and if you can understand the connections of cause and effect that brought you here… then you can truly choose differently.

If you have several paths in front of you, Justice invites you to place them on the scale.

Look at what is really there.

Look at how you arrived here.

Look at what cause you are setting in motion with each option.

And then decide.

Because if we want real change, we have to introduce a different cause.

We cannot keep doing the same thing again and again and expect our life to transform.

We have to change something in the music we are playing.

Four Questions for the Week of Justice

So this week Justice leaves us with four questions:

Are you seeing the truth of what is happening in your life?

Are you realizing that what is happening is connected to the way you live?

Do you understand the cause-and-effect connections that have brought you here?

And now that you can see it all… what do you decide? How can you choose in a way that brings real change instead of repeating the same thing again and again?

This week is about working with our vision.

Cleaning it.

Bringing truth and clarity.

And above all, understanding our life in connection with the way we are living it.

That is probably one of the most important connections we can make.

I wish you a beautiful week, that clarity comes to you, and that you have the courage to look at it the way the Goddess looks.

With all the light and all the will in the world.

Happy Week of Justice!!

Tarot Card of the Week: Death https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-death/ Tue, 04 Aug 2026 11:13:54 +0000 https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-death/ This week, the card that has come to us is Death…

In the image, we see a skeletal figure holding a scythe, standing in what looks like an old cemetery or a place in ruins. Around it, we can see the remains of the past… a broken sword, a broken crown, a broken clock. Everything that once had a form, an identity, a purpose or a certain power has reached its end.

And this is what the card represents… the complete ending of something in our life that we were identified with.

In existence, things are constantly appearing and disappearing. Parts of us are born, they grow, they transform and eventually they fade away. But what really creates the experience of death is not simply that something disappears… it is that something we were identified with disappears. Something we believed was part of us, something that helped us understand who we were.

When I picked up this card, what I felt in this space, in this field that we all create together, is that some processes of death are already happening. Some things are already beginning to disappear, to fade away or to reach their conclusion… and I feel that this is why the card has come to us today.

1. Death Is Inevitable

The first thing to understand is that death is inevitable.

This experience can happen internally or externally, but of course, we usually notice it much more when it happens outside of us. A relationship ends, a friendship breaks, a job disappears, a chapter closes, something material is lost… or perhaps an identity that we have carried for years can no longer continue.

When something like this happens, many times we blame ourselves or we blame someone else. We think that something went wrong, that somebody made a mistake or that things should have happened differently.

And of course, sometimes a situation can be repaired. We can apologise, change our behaviour, talk to each other or find a solution. But when something has truly reached the moment when it needs to end… it ends. When something really needs to leave, it leaves.

Not necessarily because somebody failed, and not necessarily because you did something wrong… but because its cycle is complete.

Death is existential. It is everywhere in creation. Everything is born, everything changes and everything eventually disappears or transforms into something else.

And it also has a purpose.

Even when we cannot see that purpose, even when we do not understand why something is happening, and even when it feels painful, unfair or completely confusing… there is still a purpose behind it. Maybe an important purpose, maybe a higher purpose, maybe something that we will only understand much later.

So this is the first invitation of the card… to look at what is ending and contemplate whether you can see it as something inevitable, as part of existence, and as something that may have a purpose even if you cannot see it yet.

2. Something Ends So That Something New Can Begin

The second thing is that Death always comes to close something so that something new can open.

And this is something that can really help us when we are moving through a process of loss… remembering that something new is coming. Maybe we cannot see it yet, maybe we cannot imagine it, maybe we are still too focused on what is leaving… but something new is coming.

And it is even possible that this new thing is something that we ourselves have asked for.

Many times, we ask for a new life, a new love, a new connection, a new awakening, a new direction or a new version of ourselves. We ask for change… but we do not always understand what change really requires.

Because for something new to enter, something old normally has to leave. There has to be space… living space, emotional space, energetic space, existential space.

Maybe what is leaving your life right now is creating exactly the space needed for what you have been asking for.

Sometimes we ask for a new dawn, but we resist the night that comes before it.

So when you are moving through one of these processes, try to place part of your attention on what could come next. Not to escape the pain, and not to force yourself to be positive… but simply to remember that this ending is not the whole story.

What could come after this? What new life is trying to open in front of me? What different, exciting, expansive or unexpected experience could be on its way? What am I making space for?

Death does not only announce an ending… it also prepares the ground for a new birth.

This also connects very deeply with the journey we have just experienced in Tibet…

In the Tibetan tradition, there is a word for this space between an ending and a new beginning. That word is bardo.

A bardo is an intermediate state… a passage, a space of transition between one form of existence and another. The best-known bardo is the passage between death and rebirth, and it gives its name to one of the most famous texts of Tibetan Buddhism, the Bardo Thödol, commonly known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The teachings of the bardos help us understand how to navigate these transitions with greater awareness and balance… so that we do not become completely lost or trapped in what has disappeared, and can gradually find our way towards the other shore, towards what comes next.

And although these teachings speak very directly about physical death and rebirth, I feel that the same wisdom can also be applied to the many smaller deaths we experience throughout life.

When a relationship ends, when an identity falls away, when a chapter closes or when something we depended on disappears… we also enter a kind of bardo.

The old life is no longer there, but the new one has not fully appeared yet.

And perhaps this is one of the most difficult parts of any transformation… learning how to remain inside that uncertainty without trying to return immediately to the past, and without forcing the future to arrive before it is ready.

Our recent journey through Tibet reminded me how important these spaces of transition are in spiritual traditions. Transformation is not only about allowing something to die, and it is not only about celebrating what will be born next…

It is also about learning how to cross the space in between.

3. Make Space for the Pain and Confusion

The third thing is that many parts of our being resist death.

Because of our conditioning, because of karmic reasons and because of the way we have learned to survive and hold on to things, there are parts of us that do not understand this reality. Parts that cannot relax, cannot trust and cannot simply allow things to happen.

Because of this, even when the process is necessary, even when it has a purpose and even when it is preparing something new… it can still hurt a lot. It can bring confusion, fear, anger, sadness and a lot of emotional intensity.

And all of this is normal too.

We need to make space for it. You do not need to feel good immediately, you do not need to understand everything, and you do not need to move on quickly. You do not need to transform the pain into wisdom on the first day.

Sometimes you simply need to feel it, breathe, observe and allow the process to happen.

The emotions that appear do not necessarily mean that something is wrong. They may simply be part of the natural process of letting go.

And this card speaks very strongly about this… allowing, surrendering, accepting and observing everything that is happening inside of us and around us while the transformation takes place.

So this week, I invite you to observe whether there is something dying in your life. Maybe a relationship, a friendship, a chapter, a belief, an identity, an expectation, a habit or an old way of seeing yourself… something that no longer has the same life it once had.

And perhaps you can ask yourself… Is this inevitable? Is it possible that this is nobody’s fault? Is it possible that its cycle is simply complete? Is it possible that this ending has a purpose? Is it possible that it is creating space for something new?

And is it possible that everything I am feeling is simply part of the process… not a sign that something is wrong, but a sign that I am letting go?

If there is nothing clearly ending in your life right now, you can still work with this card. You can remember things that have already left your life, things that once felt impossible to lose and things that changed you… or you can contemplate the things you are afraid of losing.

Because sooner or later, everything changes. Everything transforms. Everything we hold on to will eventually take another form.

And when that happens, remember… there will be a purpose. There may be pain, confusion and a journey of great intensity, but at the end of that journey, you will find yourself standing at the gates of a new life.

Death can look like a frightening card, but in reality, it is one of the cards with the greatest potential in the whole deck. It takes us to the places where the deepest transformation can happen… where old identities can fall away, where new decisions can be made and where a completely new life can begin.

The chat is open for anything you feel called to share… and we are here to support each other through these processes.

May you have a beautiful week of death and rebirth ❤🔥

Tarot Card of the Week: Ace of Pentacles https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-ace-of-pentacles/ Tue, 16 Jun 2026 17:07:00 +0000 https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-ace-of-pentacles/ A path opens through a portal shaped like the Pentacle coin.

This card speaks of the paths that lead to success in the material world, or in the financial world.

It is a very good sign when we are beginning a new project, so if you are at the start of something, or if an opportunity appears on your path these days, observe it.

Also, today is the new moon, which is also a good moment to begin new projects.

This is also a card that invites us to embrace the material aspects of the path, to contemplate them, to take them into account, and to define them based on an idea of success.

What is material success for you?

These are the 2 key aspects this card brings.

It is time to open paths that move through the MATERIAL and lead to SUCCESS.

Sometimes we set goals that are abstract, or that stay on the level of emotions, thought, or the mind.

Learning new ideas…

Connecting better with ourselves…

Managing our mood better…

Feeling better…

But this card speaks of paths that transform something tangible in your life: taking a trip, finding the house of your dreams, moving to a new city, transforming your body and getting fit, learning how to fish… or how to fly planes… you name it.

Something that transforms real things in your life.

And then they have another aspect: they are paths that must have SUCCESS as their destination.

Meaning… it is not enough to transform material things and that's it… you have to feel them as a success!!!

Sometimes we begin paths that do not have success as their destination.

We begin them out of inertia, fear, habit, influence, to have more comfort or more ease…

But we do not feel the spark of SUCCESS calling us from the other side!!

Can you feel success at the end of the path you are walking? Can you see it, even if only as a possibility, as a potential?

When the card comes reversed:

It indicates that we are avoiding dealing with the material aspects, or that we are denying our potential for success.

Questions to contemplate:

What do you feel when you imagine having success and material abundance?

Does something in you expand and feel inspired? Or do doubts, worries, second thoughts appear, and the path becomes blurry?

I know many of you are sensitive and spiritual people who feel the call to know yourselves and love yourselves…

And you may tell me… but why so much work with the material and with success if what I truly want is to accept myself and be myself??

In these material adventures, whether they lead you to external success as you conceive it, or whether they lead you somewhere else, they give you the experiences your soul needs in order to awaken and become free.

That is why we have a body, freedom, and energy. To experience ourselves through this life.

This week is for MOVING in the DIRECTION of what MATERIAL SUCCESS means to you.

And also for CONTEMPLATING whether there is something blocking you and stopping you from doing it. Creating awareness and observing it without judgment.

In the end, it is not about whether you get what you want externally…

It is about the experiences you have on the path.

Buuuut the experiences only come when you go after what you want without holding back.

A path that promises you a treasure. Will you walk it?

X marks the spot.

Happy treasure week.

Tarot Card of the Week: Wheel of Fortune https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-wheel-of-fortune/ Mon, 08 Jun 2026 13:11:00 +0000 https://innersparklife.com/tarot-card-of-the-week-wheel-of-fortune/ This week, the stars are turning above our heads and looking at us with a smile, ready to make our will real.

This card symbolizes the expression: Let Your Will be done, from above to below.

It is the universe aligning with what we want and manifesting it.

We are entering a moment where our decisions, our actions, and the way we align our energy will open one path or another in our life.

It is not about what you desire. If someone asks us, we will all say that we desire wonderful things: love, freedom, power, health, wisdom…

It is about where we place our energy.

Sometimes we want freedom, but we fill our time with responsibilities and practicalities, and we get trapped in that loop.

Or we want love, but we get caught in some accidental conflict and spend the whole day angry with the neighbour or the person we work with.

Where is your energy going this week?

And remember that everything begins in your perception. What we decide to perceive and accept as real is what will multiply in our life.

If we spend the whole day complaining and condemning things as ugly and unfair, according to our understanding, we choose to perceive the ugly and the unfair, and life will bring us more bowls of that same soup.

This is why people who try to change their lives from rejection of what they have only attract more things to reject.

What you choose to perceive as real is what directs your attention and your energy. And it is what will create your reality.

If I tell you: you are free to perceive this world as you wish. What would you choose to perceive?

If during the week the temptation to perceive limitation comes to you, use this prayer to protect yourself:

"I resist believing in this vision of conflict, fear, pain or scarcity.

Now I remember the infinite beauty I have seen in this world.

In the eyes of children, in nature, in the love I have felt.

I also remember the moments when I have felt strong, and I have felt enthusiasm for my life and for my path.

I ask from my heart to see this world of love, potential and abundance,

Now and in the paths that life brings to me."

This card is especially important if you are in a moment of decision or transition. Now more than ever, lift your gaze to the heavens, to whatever represents the highest for you.

When the card comes reversed:

You do not see that what is happening in your life has been the consequence of your decisions.

You deny the power of your will.

You do not perceive the consequences of your actions and thoughts.

Cause and effect are disconnected in your consciousness, and this leads you to not understand what is happening and to not be able to solve it effectively.

Questions to contemplate:

Can I see the connection between my life and my decisions?

Do I feel how what I do and think impacts my environment, my relationships and my energy?

If I were standing at a crossroads, and I had to make a decision for my future, what would be my greatest priority?

The universe looks at you smiling, patient, waiting for your signal.

Let Your Will be done,

Teiwaz
