Everything in life has an energetic background.
This doesn’t mean we should bypass the physical or social consequences of worldly events—but by understanding the energetic roots, we open the door to deeper awareness, and from there, the potential for collective healing.
From the outside, it may seem like we—ordinary citizens—have no voice or impact in global conflicts. It feels distant, outside of our control. But the external world is a reflection of our inner reality, and though we may not physically intervene, we are still energetically involved. As witnesses, we are participants in the vibrational field. Our consciousness is part of the collective frequency.
The Question
In today’s Tarot reading, I asked:
What is the energetic essence of the war? And how does it impact us—those connected to the spiritual path and seeking higher awareness?
The Cards
Seven of Wands – The Fire of Ego Battles
This card reveals a pretentious display of power—an ego-driven conflict whose objective may be shallow or unworthy. It’s about fighting to prove something rather than defending truth.
✨ Reflection: Where in my life am I trying to prove myself or dominate, rather than act with purpose?
This is the root of much of our collective suffering: the need to battle to feel significant.
Justice – The Mirror of Polarities
Justice reminds us that what we perceive as opposing forces are often the same energy in different polarities. No one is entirely the victim or villain—both reflect a lack of equilibrium and a shared vibrational frequency.
From an energetic perspective, every conflict has resonance. If we are witnessing it, we are not separate from it.
Knight of Swords – The Mental Struggle
This card shows the desire to mentally control a situation—rushing into battle with fixed ideas, imposing beliefs, and lacking reflection. It reflects the human tendency to push forward intellectually, without emotional balance.
This is the ego-mind trying to dominate, believing that speed or strategy will solve what only empathy can heal.
Ace of Cups (Reversed) – Lack of Love and Empathy
The reversal of this deeply emotional card reflects a collective disconnect from the heart: a lack of compassion, care, and emotional intelligence. It shows a spiritual dryness—hearts closed, connection severed, love withheld.
And yet, this absence is what calls us most strongly to return to love.
A Call to Consciousness
The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that this moment is a turning point—a sacred opportunity to shift our collective fate. We are not powerless. The wheel turns, and with it, a new cycle can begin, if we are willing to meet the moment with awareness.
The Sun invites us to see with clarity, truth, and vitality. It illuminates what was hidden in shadow, helping us cut through confusion and distortion. With this card, the message is clear: see what is, and stop denying what your soul already knows.
The Page of Swords encourages us to maintain a curious and flexible mind, rather than clinging to rigid beliefs or reactive thoughts. It reminds us not to amplify fear, gossip, or panic. Instead, we are called to speak from clarity, question from awareness, and learn from stillness.
Finally, The Star brings us back to hope. It calls us to trust our inner voice, to raise our frequency, and to root ourselves in faith. It’s an invitation to connect with soul truth, beyond media noise and surface fear.
✨ The more we attune to the Star within, the more we become channels of healing for the collective.
This war is not only a physical event—it is a spiritual signal. A wake-up call.
It invites us to rise beyond division and remember:
We are one. We are mirrors. We are brothers.
It is a sacred opportunity to observe our behavior in our closest relationships—at home, at work, in friendships and communities—and ask:
How do I impose my views? How much do I listen? Where is my empathy?
Let us not add more fear to the collective field by echoing panic among our families and friends. Instead, let us spread awareness, offer insight, listen deeply, and nourish the soul rather than the ego.
We may not be on the battlefield, but our energy shapes the field. The most powerful way to shift the external is by healing the internal. That is the alchemy of the awakened heart.
