Card for the month of September
Shield Maiden – Make Plans & Focus
‘Make Plans & Focus’
The shieldmaiden is a Viking warrior. She has a look of determination on her face. Her mind is made up. She knows what she wants and is ready to take action. Her sword and shield are ready to protect her from any distractions that might take her away from her goal. She will fight for her vision if necessary. She has strong boundaries and can say ‘No’ easily when needed.
This month of back-to-school, there is an energy of new beginnings and fresh starts. It’s a good time to check in with yourself and make plans for the different aspects of your life. Don’t forget your self-care! Once you’ve done this, it’s time to focus on your plans and take action.
All great warriors have a plan. Take some time to assess what your next steps will be. Break it down as much as you can and take the first step. Then review and focus on the next step.
If you are struggling, call on the shield maiden for support and lean into that fierce determination and strength, knowing she has your back and that you have what it takes. Follow your inner guidance as you move forward.
