Greetings, gremlins, and welcome to our last card pull for 2024! I can't believe 2025 is right around the corner, especially since it feels like this year just flew by.

(As an aside, why do some years feel like that but others feel like they drag? Logically, I know time is a construct, but it's still kind of weird.)

Anyway, as 2025 happens incredibly soon, we've modified our usual question a bit. This week, our question is this: "What do my followers need to keep in mind to live their best lives this week going into 2025?"

Our answer comes in the form of Shark, and I need y'all to be on the lookout this week for situations you may need to remove yourself from. Now, I can't tell you what exactly this situation might be, but I do keep looking at the shark depicted on this card, particularly his face. It's the sort of face that invites you in. You realize it's a bad situation and you need to avoid whoever this person is, but something about them keeps drawing you to them.

Now, the fact that I keep looking at the human half of this shark makes me think this is a person as opposed to a general situation, that may only be specific for some people and not necessarily everybody who reads this.

(Please remember these are readings for the collective. Some of this may resonate with you and others might just pass it by. There is no wrong way to respond to posts like this.)

That said, something is going on that you know you need to remove yourself from, but you may be having difficulty doing so. Maybe you know the people involved. Maybe you're worried about upsetting other people if you do remove yourself from the situation. Whatever the reasoning is, you're in this position and you don't necessarily need to be.

Here's the thing, though, folks: you deserve better. You deserve to be able to remove yourself from situations like this to protect your peace, and it might actually be in your best interest to do so.

If, however, you're not in a situation like this, though, keep an eye out. Maybe someone you know will be in a situation like this or you might be close to winding up in one. Be aware of it and try to extract yourself if you can. Whatever it is will not be doing you any favors, and you might wind up trapped in a way that you can't easily extract yourself from.

If you enjoyed this post and are perhaps interested in acquiring a reading of your very own, I do keep tarot commissions open over on my Ko-fi.

I also have a shop full of all of the commission readings you can find up there, plus a couple of extras I won't be sharing anywhere else. You can find it over here.
