Crook and Flail as the tension you’re currently holding in this area

In ancient Egyptian times, the Crook and Flail were emblems of the Pharaoh’s authority and a hint of that energy is retained by this card. It carries the same implication wherever it appears – from the smallest private social group to the largest corporation. This card talks about leadership, authority and the self-discipline required to achieve both of them.
If the Crook and Flail card appears as tension, usually it’s because you are experiencing some sort of leadership or authority issue. It’s a very ‘grown-up’ energy in that there’s not much room for fun with this card. Just a ‘knuckle down, get it done’ kind of vibe.
If you have chosen the Crook and Flail to represent the tension you are holding, then it’s likely that at least some of the energy described above is currently showing up in your experience. And even if you don’t ‘feel’ as if you are a leader, circumstances may have conspired to make you one – like it or not.

It’s possible that it’s time for you to step up and take your place in the world. It also implies authority within the home, club or team and its appearance refers to worldly status. Is it time that you set more boundaries?
Choosing the Crook and Flail to represent the tension that you are holding today is an indicator that you might need to start putting your own needs before the needs of the people around you – especially if you are going to be able to help them. Put your own oxygen mask on first. That way you can help from your best self – rather than a depleted version.
