I asked Spirit what message do you have for the world today to guide us towards our highest good?

Message to the World
May 10th, 2020 (19 The Sun, 10 The Wheel of Fortune, 01 The Magician)
TWO OF PENTACLES REVERSED – Tarot
THE STORKS + THE MOUNTAIN + THE SNAKE – Lenormand

As things start to reopen, we may find ourselves juggling two different perceptions. On the one hand, we have our expectations of things going back to normal, on the other is the reality that it still isn’t safe to stop social distancing.

We may have been yearning for our lives and routines from three months ago, and eagerly awaiting the go-ahead to go shopping, go back to work, see our friends and colleagues.

Be prepared for delays and troubles. It is going to be hard to carry both our wishes for how we remember life to be alongside the logistics of being out of isolation with the contagion still present.

It might be easier to let go of the past and focus on doing the best we can today with our circumstances.

QUEEN OF WANDS REVERSED – Tarot
THE RIDER + THE CROSS + THE LADY – Lenormand

In these painful times, it is tempting to hunker down, burrow into our misery with a defeatist attitude.

The Queen of Wands is unabashedly comfortable in her skin. She embraces and flaunts both her shadow and her light. In the reversed position, we are being called to manifest our queen energy.
We might not be at our best, stuck inside for months. Without the distractions of our regular busy schedules, we’ve learned a lot about ourselves. It is time to own our qualities, good and bad, dress for court, and rally the troops to make a change. Reach out, organize, network.

Put your inner queen back on her throne. You’ve got this.

Message to the World
May 7st, 2020 (16 The Tower, 07 The Chariot)
THE STAR REVERSED – Tarot
THE SCYTHE + THE STORKS + THE LADY – Lenormand

I was looking at the Tarot Tableau by Thomas of the Hermit’s Mirror, and for the House of The Star, he prompts: How can I maintain hope in the face of uncertainty?

We’ve tumbled from the Tower, our routines and assumptions are in shambles. Life is uncertain. How can we maintain hope? The Star card asks us to open up to Spirit’s guidance, open up our intuition, be receptive to Divine guidance.

The Lenormand clarifier cards speak of making a transformative decision that has us tapping into our feminine qualities, qualities that are more flexible, adaptable, mutable, giving, collaborative, and nurturing.

Perhaps we need to surrender to the currents of uncertainty instead of fighting them, and see what we find when we mindfully navigate them as a team, helping each other. Perhaps we should take steps to nurture mother earth as well. Acting for the highest good, and witnessing kindness and service in others, renews hope. Where there is love, there is hope. When we take constructive action and empower ourselves, we have hope.

THE TOWER REVERSED – Tarot
THE SCYTHE + THE SNAKE + THE SHIP – Lenormand

The Scythe + The Snake = bad decision, attack, physical harm
The Scythe + The Ship = journey abruptly ended, accident, trip cut short.
The Snake + The Ship = travel problems, trip with a liar

This message is a warning that it is still a dangerous decision to travel. We are still in our TOWER moment brought on by the pandemic. It is the first day of May. We want to get out. We are tired of sheltering in place. We are weary of the restrictions. Wouldn’t it be great to just walk out the door without a mask and hug all of our friends? Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to the gym, work, or go to the grocery store without feeling like we were going to war?

Yes. It would be nice. But don’t rush it. We are still in free-fall. We need to follow our intuitions, not our wishes. Be cautious. Stay safe.

THE ACE OF SWORDS – Tarot
THE MICE + THE CLOVER + THE STARS (butterflies, anticipation, performance anxiety, very good luck) – Lenormand

We may be feeling some stage fright and nervous anticipation about reaching out and owning our authentic truth. Wielding that sword, speaking from our hearts, can be both liberating and terrifying. Spirit is telling us through these cards that communicating from an authentic place will bring positive changes to our lives. Speak out.

THE DEVIL – Tarot
THE STORKS + THE HEART + THE LETTER (receiving news of a fresh start, a love letter) – Lenormand

Several things come to mind when I see these cards together. The first is the saying that “there is no such thing as a geographical cure.” When we start over, in a new location, or in a relationship, if we still cling to our chains, whatever they might be, we are bound to find ourselves eventually back in the situation that we wanted to leave behind.

The second thing that comes to mind is the feeling of being chained, imprisoned in our homes, with this quarantine. However, how our being stuck inside is giving nature a fresh start. We hear news every day of cleaner air, cleaner water, a healing of the earth as a result of our immobility.

The third thing that came to mind is if you receive notice that it is okay to bust free of your homes and start fresh, the coast is clear, think first about who is giving you that message, and where their priorities are. Are they an entity who has your health and highest good in their hearts? Or are they protecting their golden chains, power, and the cogs of consumerism?

JUSTICE – Tarot
THE MAN + THE BEAR + THE LETTER – Lenormand

The Bear (protection)
The Man + The Letter (postal worker, blogger, journalist)

Our professional journalists and postal workers protect Justice. They ensure that we have access to even, unbiased, information. In turn, we need to protect them. The freedom of the press and the guaranteed delivery of our mail is a crucial ingredient in a just and equitable society. We need to ensure that ballots can be mailed without bias, that letters can be sent without prejudice, that those journalists who try to look for impartial facts are not censured.

Through these voices, we will be able to look back on events with clear eyes to judge for ourselves accountability and consequences.

SIX OF SWORDS – Tarot
THE CLOUDS (confusion) + THE SCYTHE + THE BOUQUET (positive decision) – Lenormand

Sometimes we need to gather up our beliefs that align with our authentic selves and move on to calmer waters. This decision will bring us from confusion to bounty. Plant your ideas where they can shelter from the worst storms, where you can live your true path openly, without conflict.

THE MOON REVERSED – Tarot
THE CLOUDS (confusion, obscuring) + THE SUN + THE WHIP (arguments, abuse) – Lenormand

I was watching video tutorials by Sajah Popham of @evolutionary_herbalism yesterday about Rosemary. When he was discussing the psychological properties of the herb, he said (I am going to paraphrase) that Rosemary helps reconnect us to our life’s purpose. It not only stimulates our short-term memories, but also helps us remember moments, traumas, and experiences from our childhood (or even our ancestors and past lives) that we may have obscured at the time to protect our souls. It helps us remember in such a way that, rather than reliving the traumas, we transmute them from injury to transformation, turning the experience into our strength and power. We can accept what has happened in our lives and reorient our perception to get clarity on how that was an integral part of our soul’s development.

I feel like the cards that I drew today speak directly to this. THE MOON REVERSED asks us to shine a light on our subconscious to begin to transform past experiences into our building blocks instead of our stumbling blocks. The Sun card is about illumination, but the sun can also represent our higher calling, our soul’s purpose. For my part, I think I’ll start writing down my dreams to see what might emerge in the night to be evaluated under the light of day.

THE HIGH PRIESTESS – Tarot
THE MOUNTAIN (obstacles, delays) + THE CROSSROAD + THE SHIP (travel choices, choice of journeys) – Lenormand

Lenormand: All of our travel options, our choice of directions have been delayed.

In this moment of corporal stasis, we will journey instead through the collective unconscious, riding our intuition, our very stillness gifting our wings.
