Hi friends,
Welcome to your weekly Terrascope.
This is for the fourth week of August,
Starting August 24th,
2026.
The nine of wands is our card of the week,
And it's perfect because I feel like we've matured to this place.
Let me explain.
In the first week,
We had that high priestess,
Which was honoring and listening to our inner intuition,
The knowing we have inside.
In the second week,
We were asked to make a choice about what we already understood and what we wanted.
Last week was the 10 of cups,
Which was really experiencing the perfection in the moment.
This week,
Nine of Wands is now asking us to maintain it.
This card I've heard called as the Wounded Warrior,
But I prefer to think of it as the Wise Warrior.
Person who has been working so hard building something.
And now the idea is to keep it and how to maintain it.
With our monthly card being the King of Swords and being about discernment,
The Nine of Wands is about boundaries.
So now that you know what's true,
Are you willing to protect it?
And when I say protect it,
I mean protect you.
Protect what you have done,
Where you've come from,
And everything that's valuable to you.
Protecting your heart,
But not so much that you're building these giant walls.
Not everyone deserves access to your energy,
To your love.
Not every opportunity deserves a yes,
And not every battle deserves your attention.
So the question more is.
.
.
What are you willing to preserve everything that is in alignment for you?
Because peace isn't just something we find once,
We have to keep honoring it and showing up for it.
So this is about protecting your time and maintaining healthy boundaries,
Making sure you're resting so that you can keep moving and making sure you say no without guilt unless it is something that you're meant to go do.
I love this card for us at the end of this month because of everything we've been working towards.
It's reminding us to not abandon our truth just when life gets really busy because that is what's going to happen.
Life gets busy and it's really easy to just forego everything that we have done.
This is where wisdom becomes practice.
The idea behind this card though is while you're putting those boundaries up,
You're make sure that you're not being too guarded.
This isn't about building walls and not letting anyone in.
It's just knowing the difference between discernment fear,
And self-respect.
So in this last part of August,
It is asking us to protect the peace that we work so hard for and to also keep remembering all the beauty that is around us,
That's surrounding us.
The message of this week is.
.
.
Simple yet still takes work.
Don't abandon yourself now.
You have got you.
And you've worked too hard to find this level of clarity and too hard to get to this alignment that you are right now.
So don't abandon yourself,
But also don't build a castle around yourself either.
Come back next week as we have one day left next week and it still counts.
So one more card for August and then we'll be moving on to September.
