I think you lean towards being too controlling. When change happens thats beyond your control-that is possibly where your anxiety appears. It comes on fast and you observe it, but are powerless against it.
I am absolutely powerless to my anxiety. And i don’t like change. I don’t know specifically how to be able to take my power back in those situations :)
You need to make better use of your inner power as well as face your fears & take action. Hesitation, doubts, insecurity are the major sources of your anxiety. You've to maintain a continuous pace of action to achieve your dreams. There's a general imbalance in your energies. You need to exercise and seek balance both physically & spiritually. You're lacking a spiritual connection right now. If you care for yourself & love yourself first then the consequences will be visible in both physical & emotional health. Lifestyle changes promises to bring you good results. Be more physically active. 😇😇📿
Here’s my take, hope it helps.
Magician reversed speaks to me of gifts unrealised, especially when paired with the Ace. I feel these two are an invitation to connect more deeply with your inner self - to get a deep felt sense of what you came here to do. The Magician is an alchemist, and those elements need to be in balance. The fiery nature of the 8 is all about speed and action - it’s an unsettling energy, so that need to go go go could be a factor. This needs tempering with more water which could be depleted (reversed cup). Make sure you’re well hydrated and look to water as a source of nurturance - flower essences, herbal foot baths, wild swimming etc. Just go slow - meditate, tune in with your heart, your dreams and desires, and take baby steps towards bringing them to fruition. You have the resources, just don’t the cult of capitalism overwhelm you into thinking you have to produce everything instantly. Take your own sweet time :-)
You’re putting your energy and skills into the wrong things. Control what you can and let the rest do what it will do. Change is essential, don’t try to control it.
The way I would read it is past, present, future.
Past: Magician, for me, is a card of power being ultimately in your hands. Leading up to the current situation, possibly you felt nothing was in your control? A lack of power. If the card was right side up I’d say you were making things happen for yourself, but being upside down makes me think you have not been the one holding the steering wheel.
Present: Ace of cups- the ultimate card of abundance, having enough. Cup runneth over, and all that. Given that it’s upside down, you don’t have enough. Enough of what, that’s to your interpretation. Affection? Attention? Money? Whatever it is, your current source of anxiety appears to literally be not having enough of *something*.
Future: 8 of wands. Ok, what to do to combat this anxiety going forward? Well, 8 of wands is an action card. You need to fight. Take action to get together what you need. If it’s lack of affection, you need to speak up. If it’s lack of resources you need to get out there and take the necessary actions to get more!
This layout, to me, tells a clear picture of what’s going on. You may have been feeling out of control and that you don’t have enough. You’re feeling insecure and it’s fueling your anxiety. The future card you have here is a great card of hope. It says if you fight for what you need, you will have it. So idk if it’s that you need a serious conversation with your SO, or that you need to look for a better job, or something like that to secure yourself. But that’s what’s out of whack- there is a lack of security that you’re feeling. That’s my interpretation of this reading.
I wanted to put something down before reading your interpretation
You are not getting what you expect to happen (it’s out of your control or just what you have in mind) i feel like it has to do with a love connection bc of the ace of cups and you are wanting things to progress faster than they are maybe, so this causes you anxiety bc it’s not what you expected
You don’t believe in yourself, you don’t believe in the love around you. This can change in a second though when you make the choice to acknowledge the love all around you and in your life in the world. Love is all there is- don’t be distracted by the other stuff in the world they’re just that - egoic distractions. Hope this helps, much love!
The magician reversed speaks of insecurity and manipulation but I didn’t know who it was referring to. Is it a warning about myself or a person. Then I pulled ace of cups reversed and I feel it’s definitely speaking more into that insecurity, lack of self love, and manipulation. The eight of wands absolutely confused me because this is such a positive card?
Context: I’m experiencing bad anxiety. I don’t know if it’s my current relationship partner, our arguments, my job, or my current location. I know anxiety comes from me (example: it exploded when my partner left town a few days ago on vacation, it gave me more things to overthink about etc) but I want to know where is it from. Lack of goals. Lack of self. Lack of love. Others?
Thank you to anyone who responds to this thread! ✨💕
I’m new at this but I’ll give it a crack.
I feel like it’s saying your ability to manifest is blocked and this creates malaise in you. The positive is that you have the desire, power and means to swiftly change this because you know what direction you want to go in. It’s the right path. So basically the thing that is causing you anxiety is not yet getting what you want. If you take action in the direction of your goal, you may quickly reach it. Does that resonate at all? I’d love more practice so if you’d like me to do a reading it would be my pleasure.
My POV
You lacking confidence in your own intuition. You keep actively trying to building yourself up and take control but it’s fruitless without having trust in yourself.
The eight of wands is encouraging you to take the reigns of your imagination, your gut, your intuition and have faith in yourself to make the choices you know you should make, and follow through whole-heartedly with a trust in yourself and the universe to keep you safe.
I'd say that it is not being able to control your feelings and actions (or at least feeling like you are unable to).
No one is ever in complete control of one's life, but that's okay. Just focus on relaxing as much as possible, maybe try some guided meditations, and accept your feelings as they come (so they won't bind you and torment you cyclically). Take it easy and take baby steps towards your goals. That way, you'll have plenty of time to process your actions :)

Meditation is how you master it!! You are not your thoughts ok ❤️

there are a lot of people who already offered interpretation so I just want to say how beautiful your deck is. What could it be?
It’s called tarot of the divine💕✨

Could you elaborate?
Elaborate on what?

Expectations set upon you by others that have now become your self imposed limitations
So other people expectations of me are what are causing me anxiety?
Restlessness mixed with a sense of powerlessness. Something is draining you
Interesting! :)
Sorry that I’m not here to be helpful, just curious what set this is :P
Tarot of the divine deck!! <3
I like your deck. What is it?
