Card of the day: The Moon. There is so much mystery in the cosmos for the month of August, and for the last month or so, really. Currently we are between eclipses....yes, we are STILL between eclipses. Between eclipses is a vague time. Things are in flux between eclipses and while a lot is happening, it's not always clear where it leads. This eclipse season has been a hefty one, for sure, 3 eclipses versus the usual 2. But it is so because it is calling for our attention. It's time to evolve. The Moon in the tarot has many meanings, which is what makes it such a mystery. It can magical fantastical meaning, but it can also carry the meaning of deception and secrets. The Moon in the sky is a reflection of the Sun's light, so we must remember that the stories we create under the Moon are not always what is true. The Sun is our true essence and in times of confusion and uncertainty, it is best to connect with the sun. Get outside and meditate, I say. The 8 of Swords here represents a feeling of restriction. Let me tell you something, there are 5 planets retrograde at the moment, 6 if you count stationing Uranus, 7 if you count Chiron. Retrogrades slow down us down. Trust me, no one is moving at the pace they would like to be right now. ALL the heavy hitters are retro. Our saving grace are the benefits, Jupiter and Venus, moving forward and, of course, the Sun and Moon that never retrograde. Focus your energy on staying optimistic (Jupiter) and staying heart centered (Venus.) The Knight of Pentacles appears again today, but this time he asks you to keep plowing away at your path. See how he aims for the swords that keep the butterfly bound? Just keep knocking them down, one at a time. Checking stuff off your list and moving forward at the pace the cosmos will allow. Check and recheck. Do and redo til you KNOW your efforts are worthy. The Knight of Pentacles is a doer. He is confident and consistent in his work. Be like him during this time and have faith that your butterfly will be free to fly again when the time is truly just right. Energy shifts a LOT by the end of August. Keep at it and have faith, my friends. We're all in it together right now.
Namaste ❤
