INTRO NOTES TO THE DECK & READING
Hopelessness truly is a timeless quality of humanity. When the going gets tough, we shout at the skies, “All hope is lost!” We wail and moan our despair, lash out, and victimize in the name of our vengeful grief. We can say that about a lot of things these days - climate change, humanitarian crises, genocide, health care, inflation, Biden, Trump. We can’t reach those responsible for our collective and individual pain, but we sure can, and do, hurt each other - even those we have never met. From miles above the ground, through cords and satellites, we sit before our screens either consuming or promoting some of the world’s worst examples of humanity. We scroll with numb detachment, never quite able to find the true source of our anger or alleviate the threats to our faith.
Congratulations, that is what a “tower moment” looks like. And while, fortunately, we don’t have the tower card coming up, we do have a lot of indications that we need to stop feeding our pessimism, doubt, and distrust. Instead, we have to commit to finding faith in those that spirit is bringing us right now.
For example, I’ve had this business for nearly four years now and I have never had the kind of surge in activity and new clients as I have this past week. The volume on the naysayers and terminal poopy-heads has been turned down, just a dull drone in the background. Instead, I am hearing the voices of people who are not only ready for healing but ready to set aside the old and embrace a path that renews, rather than destroys faith. These gifts are just the first trickle of what will be a downpour of positivity in the coming months. Now is the time to lean in and restore our belief in the people who have shown us that they truly are in our corner.
Where We Are This Week
Page of Pentacles (R)
Root Chakra
In the middle of an existential crisis, we tend to grasp things we can control to regain a sense of safety and self. Here, those things, the parts of our material world that seemed in our control - like our morning coffee, and our daily routines - have been interrupted with inflation, irregularity, and irritation. How can we go on as if everything is normal when absolutely NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL?! The page of Pentacles points to how exhausted we are and how it shows up in not truly being present with the times we are in. Almost universally, we are obsessing over the microeconomics of our relationships, and our day-to-day existence to drown out the overwhelming fear that threatens to consume us. But that is just the "flight response" to the awakening we are having as a people. Unless we find ways to ground and be present, we're in danger of fixing superficial problems that will only repeat themselves.
Messages from our Guides
Two of Cups (R)
Heart Chakra
(psst...last week the 2 of cups was in the final advice position). The questions that we have about our relationships are starting to resolve in some of the most healing ways right now. Whether we have new people coming into our lives or older ones coming back home after a lot of learning & growing, we are beginning to see who is here authentically for us. Trust these messages because more than ever We need people. But more than that we need people who we can trust with our integrity and vulnerability, people who we know will fight for us and with us. Lean into connections of love right now - they are there specifically for our support.
Messages from Lady Gaia/Mother Earth
Empress (R)
Throat Chakra
This is less of a criticism and more of a gentle reminder of where we are putting our magic. Are we pouring our unique gifts and qualities into the patterns and plans that will create a world of love and integrity, or are you pouring it only into the things that will benefit the immediate, insular wants? While the immediate needs matter, we need to reserve energy for the world that is being birthed through us. That world needs our energy just as much as the immediate needs of our families do. Do what you can this week to be in "right relationship" with the ways we've been called to serve, to ensure there is enough left for both our desires and our world's bigger needs.
Messages from the Ancients
Four of Pentacles
Third Eye Chakra
It is understandable why we've been feeling protective right now. There's a lot in the world that gives cause for concern. But the apprehension isn't doing us any favors. It's keeping us deeply connected to the insecurities of our past, our global past. The triggers we inherited from our ancestors, the community-centered wounds have been activated in every corner of our humanity. We feel it so viscerally, that sometimes we feel like we have to shut down to survive. But what that does is give power to our fears of abandonment, our wounds of separation. It takes discipline and courage to rise above those fears to see the potential for our greatest comeback ever. Trust in the universe, but especially trust in ourselves, is what's needed to turn the tide.
Messages from Our Future Selves
Three of Pentacles
Crown Chakra
Last week with the three of pentacles I said, "Each of us is responsible for building a piece of that new world and we are going to be dramatically altering our paths soon to align with this. Don't worry if you don't know what it is because the teacher will present themselves, a community will emerge to support these skills and our value will come from how we made our community grow closer to the world we want to see. Be open to learning and connecting through collaborations and cooperatives." Well...this card means that we are already stepping into the roles we are being called to. We have been preparing for these roles of compassionate, collective leadership. There is nothing left to get ready for - this transition is imminent.
Messages from Mother Mary
Five of Wands
Sacral Chakra
The challenge we are undergoing right now is to help uncover the hidden treasures that were always available to us but felt too out of reach. Like in sports where teams skirmish to test out new plays, figure out weak spots in the formation, and test players' abilities before a big game, this is what we are undergoing right now. We are finding new talents and we need time to hone them to their best use. Likewise, we're recovering from any number of disasters and tragedies. Like recovering after surgery, we need time to strengthen ourselves and test our stamina. Something amazing within is waiting to be claimed - the challenge is worth it, but don’t expect it to be overnight.
Extra Card
The Sun
Crown Chakra
"The Sun'll come out tomorrow, gotta hang on 'til tomorrow. Come what may..." The clouds have been hanging around for so long that it's almost hard to believe that the sun is ever going to come out again. Not only will things get better, but it's going to be hard to believe there was ever a time in our lives when we didn't...believe. It's going to be the faith we have in our authenticity and value that will give us the courage to show up exactly as we are - to glow with joy and acceptance.
Undercurrent
Page of Swords (R)
Sacral Chakra
The world is full of angry people who are projecting their rage and presumptions on the rest of the world. Taking a page out of the "a good offense is a good defense" play, they get dramatic with their defensiveness and denial to dissuade us from breaking through. Just like the wounded child who lashes out at anyone who gets close, there has been a tendency to push others away so we don't get attached and risk getting hurt again. Our swords are out, our defenses are up and we're daring anyone to cross the line. Any wonder why we're lonely? This card is a gentle warning that we can't make friends if we are too hypervigilant and critical to embrace them.
Final Advice
The Fool
Solar Plexus Chakra
We don't often see the fool from this angle, but the advantage is that we see what the fool is chasing after - she's chasing the moon, obeying nature's rhythm and dancing toward the mystery instead of away from it. That's the energy we need to embrace for ourselves this week - following the call of spirit (in whatever way you define it) toward that impossible dream that seemed so out of reach. The fool isn't absent of doubt, she is full of trust. Where doubt can no longer serve us, maybe it's time to let go and trust faith.
PARTING WORDS FROM A GEEK EMPRESS
It feels too early to be optimistic. We have too much evidence of wrongdoing in our world - humans so lost in the despairing towers of their entitlement, materialism, and power do too much to harm others. What’s worse are the dusty beige valleys of indifference where life neither grows nor dies, it just exists, shuffling along to fill its gas tank before bitching to the clerk about the price. Likewise, we have too many living a disembodied fantasy where they’ve ascended beyond the dirty people below them to live in a Barbie mansion built from blissful 6-figure influencer ignorance. Not to mention the humans so lost in their self-absorbed pain that they would place a literal con man at the helm of a mighty country that has already contributed to the death of thousands. The same guy who had a temper tantrum in court before being righteously slapped with an $83 million judgment.
It’s easy to despair when we see others so entrenched in their thinking. It’s easy to judge when we perceive silence where there should be an outcry. It’s easy to reject the outcry when what we need is silence. It’s easy to think that we’re the only ones in the room who really -get- what is going on. A lot of us here believe it’s our purpose to wake up others to what is “really going on”.
…only we’re finding out that we didn’t even know the half of it!
Just like Yuna from Final Fantasy X., who was a summoner trained for a singular mission: to defeat “Sin” (aptly named foe). Except in her journey, she finds that she can never truly hope to defeat it as she was trained. She has to take a new path, she has to trust the love she has found in the journey through her guardians setting her and her world on an entirely new trajectory.
This is where we are at - all seems to have been ripped apart, including what we thought we might be doing with our lives and the people we thought we could rely on. But it will not always be that way. The world is awakening, it’s just disorienting for everyone - each person having a wholly individualistic, wackadoodle response. This is why we need each other for grounding - to anchor us when our perspective is more like tunnel vision. Therefore, what matters most right now is to trust in the direction that spirit is guiding us, bolstered by the love of the people who have our backs no matter what.
No matter what happens this week, remember I am with you always in love 💖
