Even though it was two weeks ago already, we're still a bit under the full moon eclipse energy, still releasing those thoughts/energies/relationships/behaviors that we need to be done with, finding our endings, and bringing those cycles to a close.
Luckily, Jupiter went direct in Cancer earlier this week to help us move from having been focused more closely on the microcosm of our own home and family life - where our security and comfort live, our personal well being, motherhood and maternal wounds - towards more bigger picture thinking featuring themes like moving, re-entering the workforce, shifts in our home and family life, including how we feel at home within ourselves. we're looking for more positive changes that expand upon what's been good for us, and finding the silver linings within our personal clouds.
while this may feel like a huge relief, we're encouraged to release our pent up mental anxiety with trusted friends and family members in order to help us process what's been going on for us during this past winter season. we're also still in the midst of the Mercury retrograde cycle which will be ending on or around March 20th, when the Sun moves from the sign of Pisces into Aries.
as we're generally encouraged to refrain from 'texting the ex' during Mercury retrograde due to the high potential for miscommunication, I am embarrassed to admit that I reached out to several people I previously severed ties with to ask if they were interested in reconnecting! I quickly realized what I had done and laughed about it (I'm usually the one deflecting the attempts of others who reach out to me during retrogrades) and just made sure to watch the responses and not get too involved straight out of the gate. a few people responded quickly and positively - though one of those I've already seen as an issue and most likely will not follow up with them - and several have not yet responded or have chosen not to (I have no way of knowing whether or not they've even seen my messages), and I'm happy to leave it at that.
it's been an interesting few weeks for sure, so I'm just going to jump right into the cards...I'll be using the Tarot of a Moon Garden deck because it's brightly colored and whimsical, and I'm hoping it will add some lightness and joy to the mostly grey and overcast day outside my windows.
1) if you went against conventional wisdom this week like I did and reached out to old friends in an attempt to rekindle those connections, was it a good idea?
Ace of Staffs: staffs are the element of fire, and as such, this card is associated with Aries, the sign our Sun is heading to next in about a week! and this ace is all about creative beginnings, fiery inspiration, finding your voice and vision. it says "Go For It!" if you're feeling excited about possibilities, then take a chance and follow your instincts (like I did). start small and if it feels good, keep doing it. ideas are flowing, offering opportunities to grow on a personal and/or spiritual level - but this is also just a spark, and it's up to you to fan the flames of creation (or take that first step towards reconciliation).
2) in what areas of our lives will we see the most forward motion this week?
The Magician: corresponding to Mercury, this card is about converting spiritual energy into real life action - that "as above, so below" we talked about in last week's post, where the macrocosm represents the Universe as a living being, with the microcosm understanding humans as their own Universe, with The Magician as the lightening rod channeling energy between the two. this says "embrace your creativity tempered with self control, recognize your ingenuity and mastery!" everything you need to create the life you want is in your hands - move forward, take action, you are ready! focus and concentrate, then commit. be methodical in order to stay on track and carry out your tasks...creating your inner world will cause your outer world to follow. so make those careful plans and act on them!
3) so what's the silver lining for the collective?
Ten of Pentacles: another card connected to Mercury, go figure. this one is about wealth, safety, family, home...the "it all works out in the end" card. while the road towards building our legacy may have been hard, finding ourselves here is all that much sweeter for it. the investments we made in and for our families pay off in the joy of watching our legacy grow in abundance. making the decisions we've needed to, and the hard work we put in to attain our goals will all come together and make us proud, and profoundly grateful. to have built a lasting foundation for the future success of our family is at the core of our happiness, and it is our privilege to share share share! remember to give thanks and appreciate our strong connections to our heritage/lineage, and traditions!
