Hi All,
Sorry for that somewhat unexpected hiatus. To be honest the hiatus was expected, since I was on holiday in the mountains with my family, but the exhaustion that hit was less so. Funny how the days before a break are those when you feel the most tired, the most in need of rest.
Thankfully as the moon fills herself with vital Aries energy in time for the Full moon on the 9th, I too find myself filling. My heart is all mountain air and autumn coloured drives. It's time with my family who traveled so so far to be here and with my beloved who I can't get enough time with. It's full of the slowing energy and the quickening towards a longer winter rest. Plans and preparations put on pause for a brief week. And now right back into it.
Tarot for the week of 10/10/22: The Two of Wands
This week's card is a wonderful one. In it a figure stands on battlements looking out over a beautiful landscape. Below is the sea, a small village, woods meadows. In the background mountains call. The sky is an uncertain gray and this is reflected in the deep stone of the battlements. The motif of crossed flowers is also seen, I think of this as a crossroads. There are many ways one can go from here.
The practicality of wands, which are ruled by fire and symbolise actions, are drawn attention to in this card. Like all twos this card speaks of a union, a pairing. Actions, choices and partnerships. With the globe literally in the figures hand there are so many ways this can go.
With the full moon in Aries at the start of this week this seems like a decisive time. A fire may be lit under you and the choice may be come clear. Or otherwise so many choices can make the road ahead seem tangled like vines. In this it seems like a good idea to get a bird's eye view. Weigh you options. Just because you have the drive to act doesn't mean you don't have time to think over your choices. You can do anything but not everything.
Ask yourself: How did the theme of balance over the least few week surface for me? Where have two sides or ideas come together? How do they intersect? How can I make a choice that feels right? Where can I get in alignment with what I want and need and what is best for me?
In other news I'm so excited to be doing live, in person tarot readings at Harvest Fest 2022 in just a few weekends time. I'll be offering short and long readings and some damn good discounts. So if you're in the Richmond VA area in the final week of October look me up ✨
In the meantime, I would suggest booking a written reading. These readings are sliding scale, so no-one has to do without guidance just because we exist within capitalism. Other options for written readings are upcoming lessons for this season, full-year readings (perfect for birthdays or fresh starts) or just a quick check-up reading to assess your current situation (financially, emotionally, romantically, career-ly). If any of this sparks an interest in you Book a Reading today…
Catch you in the ether,
