INTRO NOTES TO THE DECK & READING
Friends, for months, even years, I've been saying that we are preparing for a big shift in paradigms of how we approach leadership and the constructive use of our social structures. Towers have been falling, decks have been clearing and my god, it's been traumatic AF, right?! While it won't be smooth sailing, this moment gives us a chance to truly re-evaluate ourselves, the role that we want the government to play, and the intentional structures we need to support that role - a very Capricorn theme if there ever was one.
This means not leaping into impulsive action, but rather gathering our forces together so we can strategize a plan. As I was telling a new friend, we each can serve as a shield for each other. When I'm strong and you're not, I hold the shield high to ensure you're protected while you heal & recover. Likewise, collective care means you commit to doing the same for me when I'm weakened or targeted.
I get it...it's easy to burrow into hopelessness. We've been conditioned to believe that the default state of humanity is one of hostility, separateness, and cruelty. It's hard to trust that the world will ever have our backs when it is more of the exception than the rule. And it feels hopeless because that programming taught us that we need a singular hero to save the world, someone who will bravely shoulder that on their own...but it doesn't have to be that way...in fact, it shouldn't.
That's where we come in...this is literally what we've been training to do!
When people ask about my business, about why I do these Messages of Divine Love I tell them that I'm here to train the leaders who will make the world safer for people like me. I want the tools of heart-centered leadership to be available to more people so that we can build a more trauma-informed world that works for more people. That's why it's on us, you and me together, to be the model for a new world, a new vision for humanity. We are building it from scratch, which is both intimidating and exhilarating.
Where We Are This Week
Six of Wands (R)
Solar Plexus Chakra
The surest way to ensure defeat is to ensure that's the only possibility you imagine. Concentrate long enough on failure and the self-fulfilling prophecy mechanisms in our mind will work unpaid overtime to ensure that outcome. All the navel-gazing and second-guessing has you believing more in the inevitability of our defeat instead of assuring us of the hope of our victory. No fight worth having is ever going to have a perfect set of circumstances or a guaranteed outcome, but the least we can do is not give up before that outcome even arrives.
Messages from our Guides
Seven of Cups
Third Eye Chakra
We are being offered a lot of emotionally charged information and options right now. Both in our larger world but also in our inner one. The temptation to burrow into the easiest options, the ones that abdicate responsibility for the hard work, ultimately will leave us thirsty for fulfillment. It's our job right now to discern the difference between all the offered options and consider what will truly nourish our hope and trust, our highest selves, from that which will drag us down into the poisons we've already experienced.
Messages from Lady Gaia/Mother Earth
Three of Cups
Heart Chakra
I know it’s been a tumultuous few years with relationships, friendships, family…but it’s all starting to settle out now. We are naturally positioned closer to those who can meaningfully support and help us in facing this moment. They are on a similar mission, they’ve got familiar values, they challenge us in the right ways. Gather (in person & virtually) in spaces with your people so that you can call forth the best in all of you in the unity of a collective. This matters so much…I cannot stress this enough.
Messages from the Ancients
Temperance (R)
Root Chakra
Do not rush in unprepared - the ancients are begging us, as loudly as possible to not rush into anything without taking adequate time to prepare. This includes things like calming our nervous systems so we don’t make impulsive trauma choices, making a conscious strategy instead of simply winging it and in general exercising more patience and deliberation than we have perhaps practiced before. This era of humanity will not be built by snappy clapbacks and withering threats but by decisively informed action and judicious moderation of our worst tendencies.
Messages from our Future Selves
Eight of Wands (R)
Crown Chakra
There is gonna be a whole lot of hurry-up energy that is going to get unleashed in the next few months. Have the courage to resist the pressure to jump to conclusions or to indulge in impatient complaints. It is gonna take shape only if we take the time to put in deliberate labor to create the outcome we want. View delays as a signal that we have some things to address internally before the next set of obstacles lift out of the way. Use this time mindfully - we are dreaming a new world into being and it will be SLOW.
Messages from Mother Mary
The Hierophant (R)
Throat Chakra
The script of patriarchy has finally been rejected by enough people that the sacred towers of false superiority are cracking apart. But unless we rewrite the underlying script of beliefs, the rebuilding will be informed by the same lies that we’re trying to break free of. A lot of people will be trying to rewrite the world in their own image, giving rise to a lot of false prophets (and profits). Beware of the charlatans who emerge from the wreckage with promises of salvation in exchange for control. The challenge will be again, discerning the false from the real, the programmed from the possible. We can do this, but fierce accountability and transparency are needed.
Extra Card
Two of Wands (R)
Crown Chakra
Before I even drew the cards, this one jumped out at me reminding me of our divided loyalties that have caused us to abandon plans for long-term success in favor of the fast, expedient solution. That is literally what got us here. On a massive scale it looks like, “We need Biden because only he can defeat Trump” instead of deliberating on a candidate who can lead us into the future long-term making someone like Trump irrelevant in any future leadership paradigm. Likewise, in our own lives it looks like “just take any job” because our panic has overwhelmed our longer-term plans to open a business or start a new project. Beware of what you’re sacrificing just because of the obstacles you’ve encountered in the past or the fears you have about the future. Trust in your own plan enough to execute it (or change it if it’s lacking).
Undercurrent
Wheel of Fortune (R)
Sacral Chakra
The surest way to ensure we have trauma in the future is embedding the root causes of it into our present choices. We must, absolutely must, deal with the emotional landscape that brought us here if we are to form a world that values justice, empathy and hope. That means picking apart what we believe about themes of separation, punishment, poverty, scarcity, exploitation. We must understand how and why it got embedded into our current script so we don’t reproduce that same result over and over again. We are forming a more perfect union, so it’s worth it to take the time to address the remnants and roots of our traumas so we don’t carry them into the next world with us.
Final Advice
The Magician
Crown Chakra
Lots of crown chakra energy this week and for good reason. This is literally what we’ve been training for…this moment in time, this era, this false dichotomy, this empathetic opening. No matter whether your particular magic is spiritual, scientific or social in nature, it is time to take it off the leash and start defying the gravity that threatens to pull us under. We need you….yes, you! Contribute your time, talent, and treasure to the cause of humanity in whatever way you are most called to in these days, weeks, months & years. Move forward with the confidence of someone who knows they already have changed the world and is ready to change it even more.
PARTING WORDS FROM A GEEK EMPRESS
Last week I wrote: “We always have a choice because love is always an option. The question is, can we dare to believe in the impossibility of our collective goodness by choosing love…or will we succumb to the probability of an organized evil by recoiling out of fear?” If we continue choosing love, choosing each other, choosing to believe in our interconnectedness, we can do anything.
But leading with love also means committing to a life where we “turn the other cheek”. This doesn’t mean we invite abuse, tolerate injustice or submit to the inevitability of harm - quite the opposite. It means having the strength of spirit to say, “Is that all you’ve got?” as the people more vulnerable than us escape. Friends, turning the other cheek isn’t an exercise in supplication, but a distraction technique…wearing down the opposition until they make a mistake big enough to take them down. Is it foolish? Maybe…but my version of love has always been based on using my privilege (and vulnerability) as a shield for others. But more than that, each time I take the blows, it reverberates back on them doing progressively more damage to their insipid cause the more resilient my healing makes me.
I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I have if I didn’t believe that with my full heart. All that I’ve accomplished, all that I’ve learned, all I’ve experienced has prepared me for this moment so I could be here, on your screen saying, “Yes, love makes a difference. You are right where you need to be.”
Yes, it’s hard to believe that when we’re getting hit on all sides or when our ambitions tell us we should be further along some imaginary ladder of success than we are. But babe, the ladders are falling apart because too many of there embedded in the shaky ground of superiority and hierarchy. And we’re getting hit on all sides because people are scared of the uncertainty this causes. But I don’t think you’re here to wither when the going gets tough…in fact, I’m sure you aren’t. But the first step is standing up right where we are.
Especially for Americans, we’re going to have to dig in to find that inner Steve Rogers energy - the one that stands up for what’s right, takes the punches, and leads the charge despite the odds that might be stacked up against us. It might be an underdog fight, but if that means I put myself between harm and vulnerability, evil and freedom, then so be it…because that’s what I was taught “turn the other cheek” really means.
Bring it…because really, I can do this all day (but it would be nice if I didn’t have to all by myself).
