Nikki’s Weekly Tarot Reading: May 5-11, 2025

Eight of Cups and The Star

The first card is the Eight of Cups. This card often indicates a period of stagnation or feeling under the weather. We may feel that our supply of positive energy is drained, and our motivation is low.

The empty glasses on the card represent our feelings of exhaustion. The stormy clouds in the background speak to our concern that it will always be like this. It can be hard to see the light through the dark.

The Eight of Cups should not be seen with fear; it brings valuable truth and wisdom. It encourages you not to judge yourself too harshly or to focus excessively on the negatives. Instead, accept things as they are and show compassion toward yourself.

The Eight of Cups challenges us to shift our way of thinking. It wants us to stop focusing on the finish line and where we want to be in the future. Instead, it asks us to be present for our journey and where we are now. It wants us to be curious about ourselves and enjoy the small, lovely experiences along the way.

So much is waiting for us on the other side of the clouds. Once we weather the storm, a new way of being will open up. Perhaps a place where we connect more to our community and give to others, where creativity thrives, and where we know what is truly important.

To reach this destination, you must set aside the empty glasses and begin your journey. There will undoubtedly be challenges along the way, and change can often be messy. However, by letting go of the past and committing to personal growth, we can connect with what truly matters.

How can you embody the Eight of Cups this week? How can you release the urge for perfection? How can you choose a more present and authentic path? Lastly, how can you appreciate the small, beautiful moments along the way?

Our next card is The Star. She is a vibrant and glowing card that helps us see how brightly we shine. The gorgeous creature on the card is basking in the light of her own power, nourishing her body, mind, and spirit.

The Star knows her power and is proud of all she has accomplished. Her pride does not reflect her ego, but grounded confidence. She is asking us to hold this same energy and let our self-esteem flourish.

Stars are symbols of hope, vitality, and new life. Life can become brighter and more manageable through the balanced energy of this card.

What is impressive about this card is the balanced vibrations that allow everyone to feel complete. The Star brings her talents and beauty to herself, but she also gives these gifts to others.

If she only gave to herself or only gave to others, her energy could become depleted. But through this harmonious and symbiotic relationship, she can continue to shine.

We each hold unique talents, wisdom, and knowledge shaped by our experiences. Let us harness these gifts to uplift ourselves and others.

This card helps us release any negative feelings we may be holding on to about our past. Instead, we are focused on our future and feel our tenacity and strength within.

The Star also helps us connect more easily with the powers of the Universe. Our prayer, meditation, and spiritual practices feel deeper and more meaningful, and we feel compelled to spend more time in a serene space.

When we embrace this energy and practice self-compassion, a transformation occurs. We begin to give and receive love more easily. Allowing The Star card into your life can lead to a significant shift in your heart.

Mantra for the week: Through the process of letting go, I connect to what matters. I easily give love to myself and others.
