Card reading for 8/11/20. The Star again...this is always a good sign anywhere in a reading because she is a powerful upper major arcana and will sway even the most dire reading to a situation that bears hope and healing. Today though, there are two Pages. One page brings a message, two pages insist that you be alert. Honestly, this could be a forewarning as the energy in the cosmos is pretty intense right now. In my tarot studies I've read that multiple pages could forewarn illness, accidents, or arguments, which would unfortunately be VERY aligned to what is happening cosmically as Mars squares Pluto in the sky. Be cautious out in the world this week and with whom and HOW you are engaging. Dont forget our Star, though. The road may be bumpy, but she will get us where we are going. The other layer of interpretation I can add here is more of a gut feeling i have and an overall sense of depletion, perhaps creatively, spiritually, or physically....maybe all of the above...and the fears that come up when we are tired in these ways. Sure, we could look at our cards from a rational point of view, and yeah, things look good, things ARE good, in fact, things are fine. But we look deeper, we see we have some emotional needs that require care. Like I said before, the cosmic energy is intense and we humans can't exist on high alert. I'll also remind you we are now in a last quarter phase of the moon, when our energy naturally starts to fizzle out and our fears and insecurities come to the fore. Though this phase is not particularly fun, it is a naturally regenerative and healing process innate in all of existence. Let us not forget the Star who offers her shield of love and compassion to us right now, assuring us we are safe to take a moment for self-reflection this week, even if we just need a little cry without knowing why.

Namaste,
Stephanie 💜
