Nine of Wands
Combining the super-close moon energy with the earthy Taurus, and the building energy of wands, this is a time to recharge, re-stock, and re-center to set yourself up for the coming challenges.
Get really grounded into your body and your physical world. It'll give you the foundation to build from and help keep your energy up as you do your very important work. These are all practices you can come back to when you feel like you're heading for a burnout. Remember that you can do all you need to, but you don't need to do it all at once, and you don't need to do it alone.
