What It Means in Tarot Terms (Rooted in Conjure)
The 8 of Spades is a condition—not a curse. It shows up when you’re walking around with your mind tied up and your hands spiritually idle. In traditional tarot, it’s a woman blindfolded and surrounded by swords. In conjure? It’s a worker who has tools but forgot who they are. It’s being spiritually skilled—but mentally stalled. This card screams: “You know what to do. Now stop asking and start commanding.” For the everyday person the 8 of Spades means you're feeling stuck, but it's mostly in your mind—not your reality. You're overthinking, doubting yourself, or scared to move forward, even though the way out is already visible. This card says: stop circling the problem and start choosing your power.
WARNING
If you ignore this card, confusion deepens. That fog you feel? It thickens. That whisper of self-doubt? It becomes a voice. If you delay, you lose movement. And spiritual law is clear: delay is noncompliance. You will pay the toll either in power or in peace.
MONDAY MEANING — The Moon Exposes Every Hidden Chain
Moonlight Shows the Trap You Couldn’t Name in the Dark
Monday is governed by the Moon. Not just the pretty parts—intuition, flow, dreams—but the hard truths: secrets, spiritual residue, ancestral disappointment, and emotional warfare.
This is the altar of memory. The flame of the honored dead you forgot to honor. The back room of your own mind where you stuffed shame, fear, and guilt. The 8 of Spades under the Moon pulls it all out. It's a divine trap—but here’s the twist—it’s a trap designed to free you.
You may be looping today. Mentally pacing. Asking the same question, doubting the same decision, looking for signs. Stop it. The sign is here. You don’t need another “yes.” You need to move like it’s already done.
WHEN THE CARD PAIRS WITH THE ENERGY OF THE DAY
When the Moon and Spade Cross, the Mirror Breaks
You’ve got Moon energy asking you to feel—and Spade energy dragging a sword through your thoughts. That’s chaos if you don’t anchor yourself.
This pairing calls for altar work, bone memory, and name clarity. Your name is being held hostage in your own mind. You’ve got to call it back. Spades are about movement—mental, spiritual, verbal. The Moon amplifies what’s hidden. When combined, they show what you’ve been afraid to say out loud.
In other words, this card combo means it’s time to get clear on who you are and stop letting fear or confusion speak for you. You’ve been second-guessing yourself so much that even your own confidence feels far away—like you can’t hear your own voice anymore. This is the moment to stop hiding how you really feel, speak the truth out loud, and take your power back one decision at a time.
This isn’t just overthinking—it’s spiritual warfare. And every time you keep quiet, the enemy gains ground.

CARD MEANING — The Prison You Walked Into Is the One You Can Walk Out Of
Mental Entanglement is a Spiritual Snare Disguised as Thought
The 8 of Spades isn’t just a card—it’s a conjure crossroads. You are being tested on what you allow in your mind, what you let live in your spirit, and what thoughts you’ve given squatter’s rights to.
Spades are swords. And swords are spiritual tools. So if your thoughts are cutting you—something else is holding the handle. Today, you need to cut back. Cut the inner critic. Cut the projection. Cut the spiritual cords between you and every lie that told you to shrink.
Don’t confuse bondage with rest. If you're not moving forward today, you’ve either been bound or bewitched—and you know which one it is.
SPIRITUAL MEANING — Why You’ve Been Stuck Isn’t Just Mental, It’s Energetic
Your mind is the starting point for everything—how you think shapes what happens next. This card shows up when you’ve lost focus, lost drive, or started going through the motions without meaning. You’re showing up, but your heart’s not in it. You’re trying, but you’re not commanding anything anymore.
When your thoughts are cluttered or negative, it blocks everything—progress, peace, purpose. Your mind isn’t just for thinking—it’s the gate to your personal power. And right now, something toxic is sneaking through. It’s time to clear your head, protect your peace, and speak up for yourself like you mean it.
EMOTIONAL TRUTH — The Person Hurting You Might Be Your Own Voice
This Is the Day You Stop Betraying Yourself for Peace
This card carries a deep kind of sadness—the kind you feel when you realize you could’ve left, could’ve spoken up, could’ve made a move... but didn’t. You had options. You had strength. But fear, guilt, or habit made you stay stuck. And now you’re sitting with the weight of knowing you held yourself back.
That kind of truth hurts—but it’s also the first step toward getting your power back.
The message is clear: let go of the regret, forgive yourself for the delay, and start showing up like you matter. Say your own name. Own it. That’s how you begin again—with power, not shame.
Someone else needs this emotional truth. Share this post now—don’t gatekeep healing.
MESSAGE — Get Out of Your Head and Back in Your Power
Mental Delay is Disobedience in the Eyes of Spirit
Spirit didn’t give you gifts to let them rot in the waiting room of your thoughts. This card calls it all out: the excuses, the what-ifs, the spiritual second-guessing. It’s over.
This is the day you cut, clean, and command. This is the day you act like your altar is alive. This is the day you pull your own name out of the dirt and say: “I’m ready now.”
PULL QUOTE: “My mind is not a cage. It’s a throne—and I sit in it fully today.”
HOW THIS PLAYS OUT TODAY
Today you will be tempted to overthink. Don’t.
Today someone will try to plant doubt. Block it.
Today you'll feel stuck. That’s a lie. Move anyway.
Expect emotional memories to surface. Expect messages in dreams, names repeated, sudden silences. These are not accidents—they are spiritual signals. Act accordingly.
FOR YOUR MIND — Unblock the Pathways So Wisdom Can Move
Clear the static. Close the leaks. Call your clarity back.
Your mind isn’t just a place where thoughts live—it’s a highway for spiritual instruction, intuition, and decision-making. But when you’re constantly tired, anxious, or indecisive, that’s not just stress—it’s a sign that your mental gates are either blocked… or left wide open to the wrong energy.
When the pathways of the mind are open to every voice, opinion, memory, or worry, you lose clarity. When they’re blocked with fear, regret, or confusion, wisdom can’t get through. You end up stuck in loops, talking yourself in circles, or hesitating when it’s time to act.
To clear this? Start with water and command.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Prepare a cleansing bowl with a cup of water, a pinch of salt, and 3 drops of Florida Water (or lemon if you have nothing else). Stir it clockwise with your fingers.
2. Wet your fingertips in the bowl, then run them along the back of your neck and up to the crown of your head. Say aloud:
“I return to myself—whole, clear, and unshaken. My mind is mine again.”
3. Take 3 deep breaths. With each exhale, imagine smoke or fog leaving your body. This is static energy clearing out.
4. Clap or snap 3 times, this has a way of collapsing that command and awakening your brain to listen.
Then sit still. No phone. No music. No noise. Just silence and breath. Let wisdom find you. Don’t chase it—receive it. That’s how mental gates get sealed, and clarity starts moving again. Do this mini-ritual whenever your thoughts feel crowded, your peace feels missing, or you forget what power sounds like in your own voice.
FOR YOUR SPIRIT — Commanding Spirits Requires a Cleansed Channel
You can’t call power if you’re clogged. You can’t hear Spirit if you're full of noise.
Spirit doesn’t move through clutter. It moves through clarity. If your mind is full of fear, doubt, worry, and overthinking—you’ve jammed the signal. You might still be lighting candles, praying, or calling ancestors, but their response will come through distorted, muffled, or worse—intercepted by something else. That’s why spiritual law demands this first: cleanse before you command.
To truly receive from Spirit, you must first get still—and get clear.
Here’s how to do it step by step:
1. Start with silence. No phone. No music. No background TV. Just 10 minutes of stillness. Sit down, feet flat, back straight.
2. Light a white candle. This isn’t for mood. This is for clarity. White cuts confusion and clears spiritual traffic. As the flame rises, let your breath slow with it.
3. Say this aloud, three times:
“Every voice that is not lawfully tied to my court, I silence now. Spirit, speak only what is mine to hear.”
4. Do not beg. Do not bargain. Do not overexplain. Just ask for clarity and get quiet. Watch the flame. Feel the shift.
If your spirit court has a message, it will come. In a thought. A memory. A gut pull. But it will come cleansed. That’s how you know it’s real. You do not command through chaos. You do not hear through fear. Power only listens when the line is clean. Do this every time you feel unsure, spiritually foggy, or like the answers are tangled. Clean the channel—and the message will come through like thunder.
FOR YOUR MONEY — Confusion Is a Thief, Not a Business Plan
You’re not waiting for clarity—you’re leaking profit while fear delays you.
When it comes to your money, confusion doesn’t protect you. It robs you. Every time you say, “I need more time,” when you really mean, “I’m scared,” your bank account feels it. Every time you delay launching, selling, applying, or commanding—because you’re unsure or doubting yourself—you’re turning away the very opportunities you prayed for. Money moves on decisiveness. It responds to direction. Spirit won’t exalt what you refuse to move on.
So here’s how to break that fog and get back in financial command:
1. Write down the thing you’ve been putting off—the pitch, the call, the post, the application. Name it clearly.
2. Set a 30-minute timer. No distractions. No planning. Just do the thing. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s imperfect. What matters is movement.
3. Say aloud before you start:
“I am the command. Money follows my motion. Confusion holds no power here.”
4. Afterward, light a green or gold candle (or even a tea light dressed with cinnamon and olive oil.). As it burns, speak this truth:
“I move. Therefore, I receive.”
Do this every time you feel yourself hesitating. That “I don’t know” feeling? That’s spiritual sabotage whispering through fear. And confusion loves to disguise itself as strategy—but it’s really just a slow leak.
Clarity comes when you move. Not before.
Your ancestors didn’t get here by waiting on perfect timing. They acted. They built. They claimed. And you must do the same—because money doesn’t wait on procrastination. It moves with the bold.

FOR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS — Cut the Cord or Cut the Lie
They’re not confused—you are. And they’re feeding off it.
Not everyone in your life deserves access to your plans, your process, or your peace. Some people are only around because you haven’t decided yet. And while you stall, they plot. While you hesitate, they listen. And while you think you’re being kind by keeping them informed, you’re actually fueling their control.
One verse my mother always told me is “Do not give what is holy to dogs, nor cast your pearls before swine—lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” Matthew 7:6 which I’ve pulled from the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible in Amharic, which is way older than the KJV and not politically written.
So breaking it down is that “What is holy” or “pearls” represent sacred truth, spiritual wisdom, or valuable insights. In addition, “Dogs” and “swine” symbolize people who will disrespect, mock, or misuse what you share. This verse cautions that sharing something precious with those who don’t appreciate it can backfire—you may not only lose what you offered, others may use it against you.
This translation mirrors the ancient Geʽez scrolls used in Ethiopian Orthodox liturgy, preserving strong emphasis on protecting spiritual gifts from misuse. It's a faithful reflection of a verse that warns against careless sharing—a lesson as relevant now as it was then
There are only two paths today: cut the cord, or cut the lie. There comes a point where you can’t sit in the middle anymore—you have to choose. Either you cut the cord and walk away from what’s draining you, or you cut the lie and stop pretending it doesn’t hurt. Staying connected out of guilt, fear, or habit will only keep you stuck in cycles that were never meant to be permanent. You already feel the weight of it. Deep down, you know it’s time. There are only two paths: release what’s no longer aligned, or keep lying to yourself about why you’re still holding on. One brings peace. The other keeps you in pieces.
COMMAND FOR TODAY — Call Your Mind Back From Every Place You Left It
There are moments when you feel foggy, forgetful, drained—and it’s not because your mind is weak. It’s because your mind has been scattered across too many people, places, problems, and past versions of you. Every time you replay that argument, overthink that decision, or try to hold space for people who never held space for you, a piece of your focus leaves the present moment. That’s not just stress. That’s spiritual theft. Your power has been spread thin across memories, regrets, social media timelines, and silent battles you keep fighting in your head. But your mind was never meant to wander like that—it was meant to rule.
You were built to direct energy, not be drained by it. Today, your command is clear: call your mind back. Speak your name out loud. Anoint your head with oil or Florida water. Say, “Every part of me I left behind, I return now—whole, grounded, and governed.” You don’t need more time. You don’t need more answers. You need to reclaim yourself—mentally, spiritually, emotionally—before the day begins. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about mental sovereignty. And today, you sit back on the throne of your own mind.
