I often talk about this with clients in relation to the Queen of Cups and tending to an inner temple.

Intuition is such a great word because it can be traced via Latin to the word 'contemplate,' a derivative of templum, "space of sky or land delimited orally by an augur, sacred precinct, building consecrated to a deity."

Ai is just another rung on the ladder to disembodiment. Developing one's intuition and inner guidance is an antidote and guardrail against mind control. There are many ways to develop intuition and they all require one to be present and embodied.

Hi folks--

Some of you may know that I am a big believer in animal rights.

A man by the name Cody Roberts ran over a female gray wolf pup with his snowmobile and then proceeded to torture her and abuse her over the course of several hours in a bar in Wyoming.

Since we've all experienced beginnings we all have the memory of The Fool within us, ready to learn through mistakes and begin again.

The Fool might create a wall out of glass or fashion a cup from silk. Maybe they test the limits of what has been built and see what topples, or play with different strategies and different styles of leadership.⬇️

For example, if you're having trouble relating to The Emperor ask yourself how The Fool would move through the energy of solidity, foundation, and structure. Perhaps with curiosity about how things are built, about the composition of different materials. ⬇️

A figure holds a white rose in one hand and a satchel attached to a pole in the other. The sun shines brightly behind them. Detail of The Fool tarot card from the Smith-Waite deck.

The Fool is a key that unlocks other Tarot cards. If you are having a hard time accessing the meaning of one of the Major's, approach that archetype through the lens of the Fool. As the first card in the deck, the fool knows about transitions, about leaving one identity and learning another.⬇️

You seem to have a way with beverages, they always sound enchanting! Or perhaps they are potions?

This is the time of year I start dreaming about gardening. In last night's dream I was dividing plants and giving them to other gardeners.

Here are some roses from last June in case you need them 🌹

So if you make space for uncomfortable feelings in 5 of Cups, you end up making space for alternate viewpoints (swords), alternate actions (wands), and alternative realities (pentacles).

It's always interesting when the same number appears across multiple suits in the same reading. With all four 5s in the same reading it suggests that addressing one area, such as cups/feelings, will have a ripple affect on other areas of life...

When these cards appear in readings it’s common to feel resistance, but we ultimately grow from our experiences with the 5s. I find that when my clients get a 5 it’s helpful for them to ask, How can I support myself to make space for this other perspective/action/feeling/material need?

Wands: an invitation to hold more than one way to act
Cups: an invitation to hold multiple emotions
Pentacles: an invitation to hold another vision to meet material needs

The 5s rub us, introducing unfamiliar and perhaps unwelcome energy that we are compelled to integrate...

Four Tarot cards in a row from the Smith-Waite deck: 5 of Pentacles, Five of Wands, 5 of Swords, and 5 of Cups.

In Tarot the Fives teach us about holding more than one possibility at the same time. You don’t have to make a choice yet; the invitation is to accept that there are choices and to gently make space for them.

Swords: invitation to hold another perspective,

Usually the messages from a tarot reading are not the last word on a matter. Change is a process and tarot can be part of it. Think of tarot as a thought partner. You never have to obey what the cards say.

Not a winter person at all. But these are some things that cheered me up this weekend:
Post snow pink sky

Thank you!

So many excellent ones but La Chimera has stuck with me since I saw it last summer. Gorgeous.

Sometimes you have to go through the process of asking the tarot a bunch of questions before you realize the question you needed to ask all along.

In divination, the question you ask is as important as the response.

If I had to explain magic to an alien life form I would tell them about nature.

Definitely will share!!

It is at Dusk that the most interesting things occur, for that is when simple differences fade away. I could live in everlasting Dusk.
