Weekly Tarot Forecast: June 14 – June 20, 2026

This week, the Five of Swords brings a sharp focus to our interactions, warning us against selfish actions, indirect communication, and  short-sighted perceptions. This card often represents the temptation to use unfair or cruel tactics just to get ahead, win an argument, or force a message across.

While these aggressive tactics might get us what we want in the short term, they come at a heavy cost—destroying healthy boundaries and damaging caring relationships. While there are rare moments where this card represents doing exactly what we must do to win, it usually serves as a loud warning. This week, we are challenged to adjust our perceptions and choose our words carefully, shifting away from hostility to communicate in a more functional, respectful way.

Ritual Tools: The Blessed Herbal Collection

To help you rise above the tension of the Five of Swords and navigate communication challenges with grace, we’ve selected these specific, in-stock tools from the Blessed Herbal line.

• Heart (Blessed Herbal Candle): The Five of Swords can tempt us to close off our empathy just to "win." The Heart candle is the perfect antidote, softening defensive energy and bringing compassion to the surface. It helps you resist the urge to use hurtful words, allowing you to honor caring relationships and communicate from a place of understanding rather than anger.

• Stability (Blessed Herbal Candle): When conflict or indirect communication starts spinning out of control, it's easy to lose your footing. This candle acts as an energetic anchor, helping you stay grounded, calm, and emotionally secure. By keeping your emotions stable, it prevents you from reacting impulsively to other people's unfair tactics.

• Protection (Blessed Herbal Candle): Because this card deals with conflict and sharp words, you might find yourself on the receiving end of someone else's behavior. The Protection candle is an ideal fit to help you maintain "healthy boundaries." It shields your personal space and peace of mind, making it easier to rise above the drama without taking the bait or engaging in a toxic argument.
